Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

The most crucial point is that its own limits have been successfully broken.

Based on Aizen's evolutionary process, Aozaki Mayuki believes that he is currently roughly in the third fusion state.

Next, Aozaki Mayuki's power will enter a period of rapid growth.

This process continues until the power at this stage reaches saturation, after which the fourth fusion stage can be successfully entered.

"It's about time we went back. If my senior brother wakes up and finds I'm not by his side, he might be cornered and trembling with fear by that pervert Mayuri Kurotsuchi..."

Chapter 245 Disappearance

Aozaki Mayuki returned to the Technology Development Bureau.

About an hour later.

Pale-faced Jushiro Ukitake slowly awoke, his consciousness not yet fully awake.

"Captain Ukitake, how are you feeling?"

Mayuri Kurotsuchi threw a pile of organs into the incinerator, walked up to Jushiro Ukitake, and asked with a strange grin.

"Hmm... does it count as my butt still hurting a little?"

Jushiro Ukitake looked somewhat confused and subconsciously touched his butt in response.

"Yes, of course it counts."

Mayuri Kurotsuchi smiled brightly:

"This is normal. When I was giving you the injection just now, I accidentally used too much force and broke the needle inside."

"What!?"

Even the battle-hardened captain of the 13th Division was startled by these words, and his mind immediately cleared up.

revenge!

This is absolutely revenge!!

In an instant, he had already thought of countless counterattack plans in his mind.

"Hehe, just kidding, Captain Ukitake."

Mayuri Kurotsuchi shrugged.

"Your body is completely undamaged right now."

"As for the sore buttocks, it's probably psychological..."

"But speaking of which, isn't my new invention pretty good?"

"Of course, it still needs further experimentation and improvement, but I believe it has enormous potential!"

"Perhaps the Gotei 13 should offer their support, Captain Ukitake, what do you think?"

Mayuri Kurotsuchi said excitedly, her eyes sparkling with enthusiasm.

As Jushiro Ukitake listened to Mayuri Kurotsuchi's endless narration, he smiled bitterly to himself.

That's just how this guy is; he's full of enthusiasm and confidence in inventions, and he's clearly trying to take advantage of the Gotei 13 to squeeze money out of them.

However, he had to admit that Mayuri Kurotsuchi was indeed a genius scientist.

His invention did indeed bring considerable help to the Soul Society.

"Hmm...a very good idea..."

Despite the discomfort in his buttocks, Jushiro Ukitake gave a perfunctory reply.

"That's it! I knew Captain Ukitake would agree!"

Mayuri Kurotsuchi laughed triumphantly.

"So, for the sake of the future of the countless young lives in the Gotei 13, how much money are you planning to provide to support my next research?"

"Well... you should talk to your teacher."

"Ukitake Jushiro said hesitantly."

"You two seem to be having a lot of fun!"

Aozaki Mayuki leaned against the side with a helpless expression, watching the two playing around, and couldn't help but ask:

"Senior brother, how are you feeling right now?"

Upon hearing the sound, Jushiro Ukitake turned around and, upon seeing his junior brother, a smile appeared on his lips.

He slowly sat up, propping himself up, and shook his slightly dizzy head, saying softly:

"Compared to before, my body seems to feel much lighter."

"Before, even breathing brought endless pain, but now I only feel a sense of comfort."

"Moreover, the dull pain inside my body has disappeared, and I don't even have the urge to cough up blood anymore."

As he spoke, Jushiro Ukitake gently clenched his fist, sensing the changes within his body.

"Although I can't exert any strength in my body, I can still mobilize the spiritual pressure within me."

He moved his arms, and his already pale face became even more bloodless, as if the word "weakness" was written directly on his face.

Aozaki Mayuki handed the prepared shihaka and haori to Ukitake Jushiro, and watched him put on the clothes, feeling a little relieved.

At this moment, Jushiro Ukitake was very happy.

This unprecedented sense of ease filled him with anticipation for the future.

"Weakness is definitely inevitable."

Mayuri Kurotsuchi explained earnestly:

"After all, once that thing leaves your body, you'll be missing a lung."

"And that's not all. In fact, your other organs have also been severely damaged, and you've been relying on 'that thing' to stay alive."

"Therefore, once it leaves your body, I will replace all your internal organs as well."

"I see... So those internal organs from earlier were my original ones?"

Jushiro Ukitake looked astonished.

"Yeah! So what? Captain Ukitake doesn't want to keep them as souvenirs, does he? I should have known better than to destroy them."

As Mayuri Kurotsuchi spoke, she raised her hand and touched her chin, revealing a hint of regret.

Noticing the increasingly strange gazes directed at him by the two people in front of him, Ukitake Jushiro quickly waved his hands vigorously:

"No, no, no, please don't misunderstand. I'm just a little surprised. You can do with these things as you like."

Seeing this, Aozaki Mayuki and Kurotsuchi Mayuri both smiled and nodded.

Looking at the two, Jushiro Ukitake's eyes gradually welled up with tears, and his voice began to tremble slightly. He bowed deeply to them and said:

"Matsuki, and Deputy Director Kurotsuchi Mayuri, thank you so much!"

Jushiro Ukitake was frail and sickly from a young age, and even nearly lost his life to illness.

He had always longed to have a healthy body.

This desire became even stronger after he became Yamamoto's disciple and served as the captain of the 13th Division of the Gotei 13.

He longed to shoulder the responsibilities of a captain, rather than lying idly in his hospital bed all day, leaving all matters to his fellow captains.

Aozaki Mayuki waved her hand and said with a smile:

"Senior brother, why are you being so polite with us? If you have any health problems again, just go to Mayuri Kurotsuchi!"

Mayuri Kurotsuchi's lips twitched slightly, and he muttered to himself:

"You really have no manners!"

Despite his resentment, Mayuri Kurotsuchi nodded helplessly in agreement.

"Oh, right."

Suddenly, Jushiro Ukitake clapped his hands, then pulled Maki Aozaki to his side and asked in a low voice:

Where did 'that being' go?

"That one exists?"

Aozaki Mayuki looked puzzled, seemingly unaware of who Ukitake Jushiro was referring to.

Upon seeing this, Ukitake Jushiro quickly explained:

"It is the One-Eyed God Mimihachi!"

"One-eyed? You mean that big hand with an eye!?"

Aozaki Mayuki shook her head and calmly replied:

"It disappears after it leaves your body!"

Aozaki Mayuki muttered to herself, "I didn't lie."

The Soul King's right arm did indeed disappear after leaving Jushiro Ukitake's body.

Moreover, it was a complete and utter disappearance, leaving no trace whatsoever.

It's as if they never existed in this world!

After listening to Aozaki Mayuki's words, Ukitake Jushiro pondered for a moment, then nodded, indicating that he understood.

After all, that was the Spirit King's right arm, containing terrifying power that no mortal body could withstand or resist.

If you want to leave, no one should be able to stop you.

He could never have imagined that his noble arm had been devoured by the seemingly harmless junior brother in front of him and transformed into nutrients for his own evolution.

"Since there are no problems, you can rest for a while longer. We'll head to the First Squadron. The old man and Senior Brother Chunshui must be getting impatient."

Aozaki Mayuki said with a smile.
