Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

"If I continue to train my spiritual pressure like this, it shouldn't be long before I reach the limit of second-level spiritual power."

"After cultivating to the limit, one will reach the first-class spiritual power. The old man said that my talent far surpasses his, and with the help of the Bengyu, the first-class spiritual power should not be a hurdle that hinders my improvement of strength."

His eyes were filled with surging ambition.

Once you reach the first-class spiritual power level, using Bankai will allow you to briefly reach the pinnacle of Shinigami power and arrive at the domain where Yamamoto and Aizen are located.

By then, there will be very few truly powerful individuals left who can pose a real threat to this era.

…………

Two months later, in present-day Naruki City.

Kugo Ginjo and the members of XCUTION (Execution Department), the Fullbringer organization he founded, gathered here.

He had received advance notice from Aozaki Mayuki that today was the day he was to hand over his tribute.

This is a mission given by Aozaki Mayuki: to find a Fullbringer.

These Fullbringers are the tributes that Ginjou Kugo is to hand over.

Their aim was to obtain the Soul King fragments within them, thereby satisfying the Hogyoku's desire.

Perhaps everyone truly has their own mission in this world.

This former leader of the Time and Space Execution Department was highly efficient in finding Fullbringers, and contributed a considerable number of Soul King fragments to Aozaki Mayuki over the past ten years.

At this moment, the Fullbringers were sitting in a tavern with extremely happy expressions.

Their excitement and agitation had reached their peak, like fanatical believers in an evil god.

Although they possess extraordinary abilities, those who are different from ordinary people are always out of step with the world and are easily rejected by others. Ginjo Kugo is the one who saves them from the suffering of life.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the tavern...

Aozaki Mayuki and Ginjo Kugo were also sitting in the corner observing them.

Compared to the morbidly crazy expressions of the executive members.

Ginjo Kugo, however, remained expressionless and remarkably calm.

Over the past decade, he has seen far too many people like this, giving them hope time and time again, only to shatter that hope with his own hands time and time again.

However, he was not a sentimental person.

These people are indeed pitiful, but what right do I have to sympathize with them?

Even I cannot control my own destiny...

Ginjo Sougo sighed.

From the perspective of master and servant, the man in front of him had been extremely kind and righteous to him, and in fact, his daily interactions did not seem to regard him as a lowly servant.

But who would like their fate to be in the hands of others?

Chapter 170 Mental Image

Aozaki Mayuki's lips curled slightly upwards as she gazed at Ginjo Kugo with a half-smile.

He knew perfectly well that the man before him was treacherous and ambitious. Despite his respectful demeanor, he harbored a vicious and cunning wolf deep inside.

However, Aozaki Mayuki was not in a hurry; instead, she secretly looked forward to it.

Ginjou Kugo has enormous potential; if he can behave obediently, he will surely become a valuable pawn in the future.

But if one cannot control its ambition, then one will have no choice but to painfully abandon it.

Thinking of Ginjou Kugo's ability to plunder Fullbring, and the Soul King fragments slowly growing within him by hunting Hollows with Fullbring fragments, Aozaki Mayuki couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

If this person cannot be used for one's own purposes, then when the time is right, one will have no choice but to reluctantly take this precious fragment of the Spirit King into one's own possession.

Aozaki Mayuki took a sip of her drink and said with a smile:

"What, are you pitying them?"

Ginjo Kūgo took a sip of his drink and replied insincerely:

"After all, we've lived together for several years."

Aozaki Mayuki chuckled softly and slowly shook her head in response:

"Don't worry, if nothing unexpected happens, this should be the last time."

At this moment, the Hogyoku's desire for the Soul King fragments is almost saturated.

It's still uncertain whether it will crave more Soul King fragments after fusing with more Hollow souls, so the search for a Fullbringer must continue.

"So, should I continue with this task?"

"I can't believe it," Ginjou asked, puzzled.

Aozaki Mayuki shook her head slightly and answered firmly:

"Of course we should continue. If Fullbringers can use it well, they can become a force to be reckoned with. What do you think?"

He paused briefly, as if thinking about something, before continuing to press for answers:

Has the Tsunayo family contacted you recently?

Ginjou Kugo gently shook his head and replied:

“They have only come once since you left, and have never looked for me again.”

"They don't seem to be in a hurry. Perhaps this is the confidence that comes with a huge family that has been passed down for millions of years!"

Aozaki Mayuki gazed into the distance, thoughtfully observing the Fullbringers, before issuing the order:

"There are too many people and too many eyes here. Take them to the outskirts. I will wait for you in the west."

"Yes, sir," Ginjo Kūgo replied respectfully.

…………

As Ginjou Kugo led the executive members to the outskirts, each Fullbringer vigilantly observed their surroundings.

Just then, Aozaki Mayuki suddenly appeared before everyone like a ghost, his appearance instantly causing a wave of exclamations.

At this moment, Aozaki Mayuki was still wearing the black cloak that concealed her spiritual pressure. Although her spiritual pressure could not be felt, she exuded a dangerous aura that made people's hearts tremble.

Like a demon emerging from the abyss of darkness, its appearance immediately shocked everyone.

"This is the end for you all. This is the end of your destiny. The road ahead has come to a halt. There is no need to go any further!"

"Aozaki Mayuki said with a smile, then turned to look at Ginjo Kugo," Aozaki Mayuki said.

"Kugo, you should leave first!"

"Yes, I'll have to trouble you to take care of it personally from now on."

Before he finished speaking, Ginjo Kūgo bowed slightly and immediately used the Shunpo technique that Aozaki Mayuki had taught him, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

"Who exactly are you?!"

"What do you want? Where did Lord Ginjou Kūgo go?"

Seeing this, some people in the crowd shouted angrily, while others were filled with fear and turned to run away.

Some people's straw sandals transformed into long boots, and their legs suddenly became incredibly fast; others' belts around their waists turned into long whips, which they used to swing up by pulling on the surrounding trees...

However, it was all too late!

"Binding Spell Four: This Rope!"

A soft shout from Aozaki Mayuki sent a chill down everyone's spines.

He gave them no chance to resist. Spiritual energy surged in his palm, instantly transforming into strands of yellow light that swiftly coiled around their bodies like serpents.

"Everyone be careful!"

"What the hell is this thing?!"

Screams suddenly erupted in the suburban mountains, and the faces of the Fullbringers all showed expressions of terror.

The difference in strength between the two sides was too great. Although the fully realized sorcerer possessed a fragment of the Spirit King, his spiritual power far exceeded that of ordinary people.

However, without professional and systematic training, they are ultimately only slightly stronger than ordinary people.

Let alone fighting against a captain with a second-class spiritual power like Aozaki Mayuki, these people would probably be no match for even ordinary members.

"The Mouth of the Sea Soul!"

Just then, a clear and sweet shout rang out.

Immediately afterwards, a girl suddenly opened her mouth, and a powerful and boundless spiritual energy surged out of her mouth like a surging wave.

This seems somewhat similar to Chad's Fullbring, both using a part of one's own body as a medium to unleash their abilities...

So what is this girl so deeply in love with? Judging from her name, could it be something like "mouth" or "tongue"?

Aozaki Mayuki was slightly taken aback, clearly surprised by what was happening before her eyes.

But he naturally didn't want the water spraying from his mouth to get even a little bit on him.

The next moment, a stunningly beautiful and elegant woman, dressed in a bright red kimono and with a pair of fiery wings extending from her back, suddenly appeared beside him.

With a flick of the woman's jade-like hand, a long sword gleaming with cold light slashed down.

Then a blazing, dazzling flame shot out like a fire dragon, instantly evaporating the wave of water completely.

After doing all this, the woman flew lightly to Aozaki Mayuki's side.

She gently kissed his lips, her form gradually becoming blurry and transparent, eventually turning into specks of spirit particles that drifted away and disappeared into the void.

"Why is it that every time we meet, you're all so eager to take advantage of me?"

As she spoke, Aozaki Mayuki licked her lips lightly with her tongue, her gaze sweeping over everyone present with lingering interest.

This is the special ability he gained after learning Bankai—

He can bring the sword spirit from his mental world into the real world to assist him in battle.

However, this is not a true Bankai ability, because his Bankai is actually just imitating the abilities of other people's Zanpakuto.

This is more like an essential power that can be used without needing to release one's Zanpakuto.

Just as Kuchiki Kyoga doesn't need to untie the Zanpakuto's restraints, but only needs to whisper "Muramasa" from the depths of his heart for Muramasa to immediately materialize.
