Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 247 The King's True Face

Upon learning that the explorers had fallen into an undeserved disaster, the king's face tightened, displaying a certain authority befitting a governor.

"After they are captured, they will definitely be interrogated by the Zero Division about their origins. You know, although you won't be punished by the will of the secret realm if you use inducement, deception, or memory search to make the explorer unintentionally reveal their origins, interrogation is not an option."

If they cannot withstand the physical pain, or if they are afraid of the threat of death and voluntarily confess about the Fog Star, they will surely die.

Therefore, we must save them, and we must do so as soon as possible! The longer we delay, the greater the risk!

“That’s right, Guan Yi. When we questioned Aizen about that big monk, he vaguely hinted that he wanted to go to the Spirit King Palace. Given the urgency of the situation, you might consider cooperating with Aizen.”

Meow Meow said, "It's really giving me a headache. Both Yhwach, the founder of the Quincy, and this big monk have slightly exceeded the strength limit of the legendary difficulty level of the secret realm. Damn Invincible left the group, and the two of us are not well prepared for the difficulty of the secret realm, so we can't be of much help now."

"We can only rely on you and Aizen... Of course, this is an unforeseen risk that explorers must bear when entering secret realms. If, after assessment, you feel it would put your life in danger, then we should discuss this further."

A life-threatening situation? Perhaps before, but now…

Guan Yi said, "Guo Yan is my subordinate, and the others are my classmates. This trouble is also my fault, so I won't bother Aizen. I'll handle it myself."

"You alone?" the king asked. "Can you handle that Zero Division monk?"

"It didn't work before, but it should work now."

"Then..." Meow Meow asked again, "You even know how to get to that Spirit King Palace? Aizen seems to have been working towards that goal all along."

"Hmm," Guan Yi replied, "The Spirit King's Palace is located ten thousand meters above the Seireitei, in a special alternate dimension blocked by seventy-two protective formations. There are several ways to get there from the Seireitei. Although I don't quite meet the requirements for any of them, but..."

"I can try to force my way in. If that doesn't work, then Governor, you might have to ask Aizen for help. Lend me most of his spiritual pressure; combined, we should be able to blast the Soul King's Palace down from the sky! I think Aizen would be very willing to help, because he'd definitely be interested in the battle between me and the Zero Division."

"I see..." the king seemed to be deep in thought.

Meow Meow said, "If that's the case, I suggest we just not use Aizen at all. Although we have a good impression of Aizen, it involves those students and explorers, and letting him get involved could create some unnecessary risks."

"Mi and the King will help you. If it's just some kind of barrier, it's no problem for us."

“Ordinary barriers are naturally not a problem, but the barriers of the Spirit King Palace are related to the Spirit King. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be unsure whether I can break through them without wasting some energy.”

Guan Yi knew that he was different from Yhwach. In the Zero Division and in the heart of Hyosube Ichibei, he was an unknown threat to the three realms.

Judging from the original plot, it's hard to say that the Zero Division didn't hold back slightly when fighting Yhwach. After all, in the end, the Soul King was freed from his million-year seal, while Yhwach became the wedge that replaced the Soul King.

Moreover, with so many hostages in their hands, Guan Yi will not lose his vigilance despite the immense power he has gained after ascending to immortality.

In front of him, the King and Meow Meow looked at each other. Meow Meow nodded her head slightly, and the King sighed and suddenly adopted a mature tone: "Guan Yi, aren't you curious about why I have this appearance?"

"I don't know how strong the Soul King is, and Yhwach and that big monk's power was indeed somewhat unexpected, but in the secret realms that Meowth and I experienced, there were beings ten or even a hundred times stronger than them. We've fought those kinds of guys before, so don't underestimate the Governor!"

Guan Yi looked at them and smiled, "Alright, let's talk as we go and make the most of our time."

He tore open a passage to the Soul Society. Seeing his composed demeanor, the Great King's face fell, and he muttered under his breath, "It's over, I can't control him..."

"Don't even think about it. This kid has his own ideas; you can't control him. Just tell him what happened..."

"Um……"

The two people and the cat set off for Soul Society. On the way, the Great King explained to Guan Yi in a more serious tone: "My divine rune talent 'Sharing' has another use, besides the kind of use where I share Hollow power with you, it can also be used to form a contract with two people, making each other 'core sharers'."

After this deep contract, aside from not being able to share power across secret realms, we can share with each other at any time and any distance, even sharing each other's 'divine rune talents'. Therefore, for the hundreds of years since I advanced to a six-rune warrior, I have always had two companions by my side, forming the 'Invincible Meow Meow King' exploration team.”

“Mimi and the King have never changed. Mimi has been by the King’s side since she was a child,” Meow said. “But we have changed the invincible candidate four times.”

The king pursed his lips and said, "Mature explorers all have their own partners, so the invincible candidate is usually a genius boy like you in the beginning. And generally, the more talented you are, the more opinionated you are. After gradually growing into a six-striped warrior, it is difficult for you to be able to open your heart to us completely and share all the secrets of your body as before."

This significantly reduces the effectiveness of sharing, and once Meow Meow and I realized this, we would proactively look for new 'unbeatable' candidates.

Sounds like a powerhouse incubator?

With four different partners, doesn't that mean there's already an invincible 'Six-Mark' of the fourth generation?

“But last time was different.” At this moment, the king’s tone was slightly lowered, and he even seemed to be struggling to control his anger as he said, “I don’t even want to mention the name of that bastard who was the last ‘Invincible’. He was bewitched by the demons and fell into the demon race, which caused me and Meow Meow to fall into the demons’ trap without warning.”

"He and five great demons attacked us, but Mimi and the Great King killed four of them, leaving only that bastard and one of the great demons to escape." Meow Meow's tone was light: "What a pity."

"But at a cost."

The king continued, "Meow Meow died a total of seventeen times in that battle."

Guan Yi looked at Miao Miao with some surprise. He remembered that the Great King had mentioned that Miao Miao's divine rune talent was that she could be reborn after each death, at the cost of losing half of her rationality and intellect, and becoming twice as strong.

Death 17 times? How much stronger did he become? How much of his reason and intellect did he lose?
"After that battle, Mimi completely became a mentally challenged cat." Meow Meow's tone was still relaxed, as if she was intentionally comforting the king. "She doesn't know anything, she can't understand anything, and she only has some instincts left. I estimate that it will take three to five hundred years for her to recover naturally without obtaining a few golden secret runes."

Mimi can talk to you now thanks to the Queen's abilities. She shared most of her rationality, intellect, and even various powers with Mimi, so don't be arrogant. If Mimi and the Queen were at their peak, even if their progress in the battle wasn't as good as yours, they wouldn't be left behind by a newbie like you!

"That's right, that's right." The king nodded repeatedly.

So that's how it is? Guan Yi suddenly realized why he always felt that Meow Meow, as a cat, was much more mature than the King, who was hundreds or even nearly a thousand years old, the governor of a province.

He had originally thought that the king was maintaining his childlike nature, but he never expected it to be for this reason.

As they spoke, the two people and the cat arrived at the Soul Society and the Seireitei.

The king raised his small hand and pointed high above the Seireitei, saying, "Right up there? Kaneki, are you sure you're okay? Then I'll just take care of getting you up there, and the rest is up to you!"

hum-

The moment she finished speaking, a faint golden light suddenly enveloped her, and a divine aura emanated from the 1.5-meter-tall girl. Her short golden hair quickly stretched out, like golden threads hanging down to her waist. At the same time, the huge orange cat that had been perched on her shoulder rapidly shrank!

It shrank from a massive body over a meter long to the size of a palm, its fur lost its luster, its eyes gradually became unfocused, and it tilted its head, its expression like an evil little rascal, as it rammed into the king's face.

The size that disappeared from it was added to the king's body in almost equal proportion!
blonde hair, blue eyes.

The girl, who was originally 1.5 meters tall, has transformed into a tall woman who is nearly 1.8 meters tall. Her slightly chubby face has suddenly become sharp and three-dimensional. All the childishness has disappeared from her eyes and brows, leaving only the coldness and majesty that have been accumulated over hundreds of years!

Her long, golden hair, which reached her waist, shimmered with a glass-like luster. Each strand seemed to carry immense spiritual energy, creating a subtle whooshing sound as it swayed in the wind.

Although his spiritual pressure is not as great as Kane's, it is far beyond what an ordinary Shinigami captain can compare to.

Then she looked up at the sky, her long, slender, white fingers reaching out to grasp at the heavens.
