Crossover: A Different Inuyasha.

Chapter 146 The King of Slaying Spirits

The essence of the Hogyoku originates from "the fingertips of the Soul King," containing the power to define "possibility" and "impossibility," and its existence itself possesses an unreplicable uniqueness.

Otherwise, given Aizen Sousuke's talent and strategy, he should have long ago replicated the Hogyoku, which represents "Hollow" and made the two unfinished pieces merge together to achieve true perfection.

Unfortunately, if you're slow on one step, you'll be slow on every step.

Kisuke Urahara did not obtain the Hogyoku, and the Hogyoku he painstakingly crafted was "lost," and was even fired at by Inuyasha right in front of him.

Even with Aizen's deep cunning and iron will, he almost lost his composure.

Centuries of planning have come to naught in a single day.

As he walked out of the conference room, his steps were somewhat unsteady. Behind him, his squinty eyes watched Aizen's retreating figure, his fox-like face still smiling, his mind prepared to report him.

Gin Ichimaru's allegiance to Aizen was never for any grand cause or ambition.

He witnessed his childhood friend Matsumoto Rangiku being seriously injured and nearly killed by Aizen's Hogyoku experiment a hundred years ago, and decided to take revenge and reclaim what had been taken from his beloved woman.

Now, a new king has appeared in Soul Society, one whom even the Captain-Commander must bow to, and who also possesses Aizen's Hogyoku. What does this signify?

Gin Ichimaru has confirmed that Inuyasha probably knows far more than he realizes.

However, instead of dealing with Aizen on the spot, Fu was trying to put pressure on him.

How to turn a beating into a killing intent—that's what he's trying to do.

"Captain Yamamoto, I'll come back to find you later to go to the Spirit King Palace." After Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni and the others left one after another, only the father and his two sons remained in the conference room.

Sesshomaru and Toga took their seats, sitting opposite Inuyasha.

For a moment, no one spoke. Six eyes peered at each other across the low table, a subtle silence hanging in the air.

Douya Wang's feelings were the most complicated.

In his search for Izayoi, he left the Eastern Pure Land without leaving a single word.

Now, the three of them are reunited in another world. It would be a lie to say they don't feel guilty.

He was almost certain that Inuyasha had left some kind of trick on him.

Otherwise, how could it be accurately located if it spans an entire world?

"That heartless little brat, he actually used his own father as bait!"

Toga looked at the teacup in front of him, poured himself a cup, and was just about to have a proper chat with Inuyasha when the other's voice came first, "Dad, what's going on between you and Retsu Unohana?"

Old Deng hadn't even swallowed the tea in his mouth when he spat it out on the spot.

Sesshomaru lowered the sleeve that was covering the tea and looked at his father with a hostile expression.

Douya Wang coughed twice, put down his teacup, and wiped his mouth.

He then composed himself and said, "What are you, a junior, doing meddling in matters concerning adults? My relationship with Ms. Unohana Retsu is completely innocent."

"Is that so?" Sesshomaru's energy surged, and the tea stains on his sleeves evaporated completely.

Looking at his father, who was speaking with righteous indignation, he couldn't help but think of his mother's reaction when she first heard the news, and said in a cold tone.

"I'm afraid you're using the guise of searching for someone, but in your heart you're actually looking for another suitable partner, aren't you?"

"Am I that kind of person?!"

Toga's face flushed slightly from being choked, and he glared at Sesshomaru, wanting to retort, but the words he was about to say deflated as he lowered his head, "—This can't be blamed on me."

Sesshomaru was too lazy to argue with him anymore; he didn't care about love and romance.

He then turned to Inuyasha and asked, "Can I control the system of this world?"

"sure."

Inuyasha had no intention of continuing to tease his father, after all, he himself had a complicated and unresolved emotional debt.

In some ways, Er Gouzi is the biggest scumbag, but his rapid rise to power has overshadowed his past.

If one day his strength stops, who knows if some woman might imitate "Makoto's old story" and directly tear Inuyasha to pieces.

He looked at Sesshomaru and said, "Once I have sorted out the system, my own people will be in the first batch, and then they will be rewarded according to their merits."

Shinigami, Hollows, and Quincy are the three main forces in the Bleach world. Inuyasha has only obtained the power of Hollows for the time being.

He intends to obtain the latter two from either the Soul King or Yhwach.

It's easy to get it; just take the Myriad Realms Blazing Slash, which was formerly known as the Tessaiga.

His Soul Weapon is less of a weapon and more of a world-class blade.

It can devour all things and transform all things.

Having received the confirmation, Sesshomaru did not linger any longer and got up to leave.

Inuyasha didn't stop him, simply tossing out a streak of light. "Jaken's doing alright in Hueco Mundo. Bring him back when you're free."

o

"You are, after all, a judicial god; you can't neglect your duties for too long."

Sesshomaru remained silent, simply raising his hand to catch the light, taking it into his palm, and then stepping out the door.

Douya looked at the doorway, remained silent for a while, and finally spoke, "I still need to go find your mother."

Inuyasha looked at him and said, "Then let's bring Aunt Unohana Retsu along too."

Toga frowned, about to refuse, but Inuyasha had already taken over.

Don't be in such a hurry to say no.

"You have a long road ahead of you. For millions of years to come, you will have someone to take care of you, and Sesshomaru and I will be able to worry less."

Touya opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately said nothing.

He lowered his gaze, staring at the cold teacup in front of him, and remained silent for a long time.

Inuyasha didn't urge him either.

Emotional matters can be simple or complex, depending entirely on the values, upbringing, and acceptance of the individuals involved.

And most importantly—skill!

If you're incompetent, you'll have trouble even finding a wife.

If you're so capable, just open a breeding farm.

After a while, Touya stood up and walked towards the door without looking back. Just before leaving, he turned back and glared at her. 66

"You brat, mind your own business."

Inuyasha looked at the slightly hurried figure from behind and couldn't help but smile, saying something.

"The Tsunayo family, one of the five great noble families, has a lineage that can imitate other people's Zanpakuto, the Enra Kyōden. Find a time to have the Tessaiga cut it down. Next time you go out, you'll lose face in front of Auntie if you don't have some strength!"

"You brat, don't talk nonsense!"

Hearing the furious barking of a dog coming from afar outside the door, Inuyasha shook his head, got up and walked towards the door. Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni stood with his hands behind his back under the eaves, clearly having been waiting for a long time.

"My Lord, I will make arrangements regarding the Yanluo Mirror."

Seeing that the Captain-Commander was straightforward, Inuyasha smiled, put his hands behind his back, and walked to Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's side.

"Let's go to the Spirit King's Palace."

The entrance path to the Lingwang Palace is over ten zhang wide, with white jade steps and stone pillars rising from the ground on both sides.

At the end, five Lingfan Li Palaces floated in the air. Above the Li Palaces was the Ling King's inner palace—five layers stacked together, converging into a cone shape, like a cone vertically driven into the void between heaven and earth.

Inuyasha and Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni stepped out of the spatial rift, where the five members of the Zero Division were already lined up on the platform in front of the Hall of Departure, waiting for them.

The five men were formally dressed. The leader, Hyobu Ichibei, wore a white haori with black patterns, had thick eyebrows and a long beard, and his gaze was as calm as a mountain.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni took a half step back and, without hesitation, knelt down as Hyosube Ichibei and the others knelt.

Inuyasha's gaze swept over the five people in front of him, his eyes filled with interest.

We'll leave the rest aside for now.

Hyosube Ichibei, who has lived for a million years, still has a vigorous life force in his body, and it seems that he could live for another million years without any problem.

Such a long lifespan, free from all calamities and tribulations, would likely be enough to instantly transform all the Death Gods and Void beings in the world of Gu Zhenren into human beings.

Yes, this is even more true in the world of "Covering the Sky," where even the Great Dao has been annihilated.

There's just something to be said about the unique circumstances of our country.

Inuyasha waved his hand, "This is the first time. Kneeling is not customary in the Eastern Country."

Kneeling to heaven, earth, and parents, yet expecting others to kneel before you—Inuyasha felt nothing but disgust—his nine years of compulsory education weren't for nothing.

Unlike Yuan Shikai, who turned back the clock of history and tried to recreate a feudal society, he didn't.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Everyone stood up. Hyōjubu Ichibei bowed slightly, clasped his broad hands together in front of him, and asked, "Since you have come from afar, would you like to first tour the entire Spirit King Palace? I can act as your guide."

"No need."

Inuyasha looked up at the Soul King's inner palace, where the spiritual light was being gathered. His gaze pierced through the layers of barriers, and he saw the Soul King on the fourth level. He said, "Let's go directly to the Soul King."

Hyōsuke Ichibei lowered his head and replied, "Yes, sir."

The concentration of spiritual particles in the atmosphere of the Spirit King Palace is so high that when a Shinigami at the vice-captain level first enters the Spirit King Palace, he will be pressed to the ground and unable to move.

But for Inuyasha and the others, it was like a gentle breeze.

The entrance to the fourth floor is quite inconspicuous.

There were no doors, only a deep purple curtain hanging from the beams, its edges embroidered with fine light gold lines, where the stone pillars on both sides narrowed into a row of narrower passages.

Hyobu Ichibei and the others stopped in front of the curtain and bowed.

"Your Majesty, the Spirit King is inside. We are sorry that we cannot accompany you."

Inuyasha nodded, reached out and lifted the purple curtain, stepping inside.

The curtains fell automatically behind them, shutting out all external noise.

The interior is smaller than I expected.

Or rather, it was much smaller than one might expect from the imposing Lingwang Palace.

The four walls are made of light-colored stone, the floor is polished smooth as a mirror, and the dome has a gentle arc that narrows inward, like an inverted jade bowl.

In the center of the room, a massive crystal pillar rose from the ground, its edges perfectly rounded and smooth, its entire surface crystal clear and transparent.

Light surged from within the prism, spreading outwards layer by layer, like a heart frozen in amber, beating at a slow, almost imperceptible pace.

The Spirit King Adneus is sealed within.

Inuyasha and the Soul King stared at each other, and an invisible connection began to form between them.

The world of the Grim Reaper, countless years ago, was a world where life and death were indistinguishable, where there was no advancement or retreat, and even becoming a Hollow was part of the spiritual particle cycle.

However, the cycle completely stopped after the Void began to devour humans.

If this continues, all souls will eventually become a massive void, and the world will fall into complete stillness. At this moment, the Spirit King is born, using the power of annihilation to destroy the void and allow the world to begin its cycle again.

Born in response to the times, the Soul King, the world's first entity of power—the Quincy, the Shinigami, the Fullbringer, and all other sources of alien energy—chose to submit to his own destiny.

Destroy the void that can devour everything.

To resolve the dead and desolate world that is heading towards extinction.

Slow down the expansion of the primordial hell.

The executors were the five noble ancestors who were contemporaries of Hyonshube Ichibei.

Their motives differ, yet they inexplicably point to the same goal: the separation of the three realms.

To achieve this goal, they need the power of the Spirit King.

Just as Shiba no Abe was trying to persuade the Soul King, Tsuna no Abe seized the opportunity to seal him in a crystal.

The five progenitors used the omnipotent power of the Spirit King as a wedge to separate the chaotic world.

The world of spirit particles, the world of vessels.

A desert paradise reached by the void born from two worlds.

That is the Three Realms in the present day.

However, the ancestor of the Gangya Dynasty suspected the Spirit King who remained silent, fearing that he might break the seal on his own and destroy them.

But they could neither kill the Spirit King nor allow him to live unharmed.

They severed the Spirit King's arms, which controlled "movement" and "stillness," but even that wasn't enough for them.

Several ancestors, led by Tsunayoshi, spent countless years removing the Soul King's heart, cutting off his feet, slicing open his internal organs, and taking them out of his body. After stripping him of his power, he fell to the mortal realm.

They constantly weakened the Spirit King's power, just to create a "king" that was easier to control.

In this cruel process, the Spirit King was not without room for regret, yet he willingly became a sacrifice, born for the world.

To die for the world, without caring about one's own life.

Finally, the Soul Society was born.

This is also the original sin of Soul Society.

Furthermore, the seal on the Spirit King was extremely powerful in order to ensure the wedge was secure.

The conditions for cracking it are extremely stringent.

It is necessary to gather all five spiritual properties simultaneously: Shinigami, Hollow, Quincy, Fullbringer, and Human to completely destroy the seal and then kill the Soul King.

The future protagonist, Kurosaki Ichigo, is the one chosen by the Soul King to kill him.

Yhwach, who will absorb his own remains in the future, will be the sacrificial offering in his place.

The plot of the Bleach world is all within the omniscience and omnipotence of the Creator, the Soul King.

Only the arrival of the people from the East broke the predetermined fate of the Death God's world, allowing the Soul King to see a different future.

"So, do you still want to live, Spirit King?" The telepathic exchange allowed Inuyasha to instantly understand everything about the Spirit King.

"The meaning of life lies not in its length, but in the end of its purpose."

The Spirit King's voice was calm and indifferent, not in a mechanical way, but in a divine way that looked down upon all things, including himself.

"The purpose of my birth was to maintain the existence and operation of the Three Realms, and this mission comes to an end today."

"You've never even enjoyed the fruits of your labor, is it really worth giving up like this?"

Inuyasha continued to persuade him.

He admired the Spirit King, who possessed a love that transcended his own.

When the world of death is integrated into the operating cycle of the Eastern Kingdom, the Spirit King becomes the natural "Emperor of Fengdu," the highest god of the underworld and the actual manager of the specific administrative affairs of the underworld.

He could be called the "number two".

As for the number one person in the underworld, "Emperor Dongyue", it is naturally Douya Wang who is pursuing love.

"Life and death are merely the cycle of yin and yang, and I am simply returning to the embrace of the world," the Spirit King said slowly. "Please use 'Myriad Realms Radiant Heaven' to slay me."

"In that case, may you have a safe journey."

Seeing this, Inuyasha stopped hesitating and drew his sword to strike.
