Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

Aozaki Mayuki's lips curled up slightly with a playful smile as she crouched down to face Szayelaporro.

Szayelaporro snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with anger.

Indeed, his heart was filled with the fire of revenge against Aozaki Mayuki, a fire that even death could not extinguish.

He was just a tiny bit away from becoming an immortal, perfect being.

As long as I use Luo Jia's reverse membrane fiber, my experiment will definitely be successful!

But because of this man, his ambitions vanished.

Given the chance, he will surely return from hell to take revenge on Aozaki Mazuki once again.

Chapter 398 War Begins

Aozaki Mayuki seemed to see through Szayelaporro's thoughts, and the smile on her face became even more chilling.

"If this is your backup plan, then you can just accept your fate."

His voice was deep and cold, as if it came from the deepest hell.

"?"

Szayelaporro stared wide-eyed at Aozaki Mayuki, completely baffled by the deeper meaning behind his words.

However, at that moment, Aozaki Mayuki slowly raised his right hand and reached for Szayelaporro's chest.

Szayelaporro felt a chill run down his spine, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

What he's about to do to himself is definitely not a good thing.

Retsu Unohana and Sosuke Aizen stood quietly to the side, witnessing this scene.

Their expressions varied, but none of them spoke up to intervene.

Suddenly, a red cave with an opening burning with blue flames appeared out of thin air.

"?!"

Sensing a familiar presence behind him, Szayelaporro's fear instantly turned into delight.

His eyes widened, and he shouted excitedly:

"Hahaha, it's hell, hell... it still needs me!"

Black chains extended from Szayelaporro's body, connecting to the void.

As if he had seen a glimmer of hope, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and reveal a smug smile.

"Whatever your schemes are, it's meaningless."

His voice was full of sarcasm.

"The power of hell is not something anyone can defy!"

"Don't worry, I'll come back to find you again!"

Szayelaporro glared fiercely at Aozaki Mayuki.

"You have to wait for me, I will make you feel the deepest pain."

However, Aozaki Mayuki paid no attention to his threat.

He grinned, revealing a sinister smile.

"Heaven's Royal Center."

As Aozaki Mayuki murmured softly, the surrounding space seemed to begin to distort.

Szayelaporro stared wide-eyed at Aozaki Mayuki, his face full of doubt, wanting to know the reason.

But just then, a blonde woman wearing a white robe and a silver crown-like eye patch quietly appeared beside Aozaki Mayuki.

She held an ordinary long knife in her hand, which looked nothing special.

But with a gentle wave of her hand, a flash of cold light appeared, and the chains snapped.

This is the Chains of Hell! It was easily severed by that seemingly weak and powerless strike!

And the red hole slowly closed as the chains broke!

Szayelaporro stared wide-eyed, his face filled with astonishment, unable to utter a single word.

The rules of hell, the power of hell, have been severed just like that!!!

"I've told you before, this isn't your territory. Why do you have to interfere and make things difficult for yourself?"

Szayelaporro swallowed hard, and the deep voice of the long-haired man reached his ears.

Damn it... How can Aozaki Mayuki be so powerful...? Is it possible that even Hell can't defeat him?!

Before long, Aozaki Mayuki skillfully completed all the steps, transforming Szayelaporro into a pure soul and imprisoning him in a crystal-clear jade bead.

Just as he said, letting Szayelaporro die here and then be reborn in hell would be too good for him.

After all, he had used Luo Jia as an experimental subject, causing her immense suffering.

Luo Jia might not care about this debt, but Aozaki Mayuki has not forgotten it.

Loka has done a lot for Hueco Mundo and even helped subdue Bambieta, so of course she should repay him properly.

When we make mass-produced Hogyoku in the future, we'll give the one made with Szayelaporro's soul to Roga.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Aozaki Mayuki's lips.

"Captain Aozaki is truly amazing; he killed the enemy with a single punch!"

"Yeah yeah!"

The compliments from the captains reached Aozaki Mazuki's ears.

Clearly, what they saw was quite different from what Aozaki Mayuki had just done.

After everyone quieted down, Yamamoto spoke:

"Hell has made its request, but you all just heard what Lord Huang Quan said."

"Therefore, I will not agree to the conditions of hell, nor is it possible for me to agree to them."

"Gentlemen, does anyone have any objections?"

At this moment, everyone fell silent or gently shook their heads.

This is a momentous event concerning the life and death of the Three Realms!

If we really hand over Aozaki Mayuki, perhaps Hell will retreat and the three realms can regain peace.

But... who can take that gamble?

Nobody will do!

Moreover, even if Hell were to truly recede, Soul Society and Hueco Mundo would become extremely vulnerable as a result.

Not only did it lose the power to suppress the Gates of Hell.

More importantly, who can guarantee that hell won't push its luck and make even more unreasonable demands?

Does that mean we have to hand over our positions every time someone comes to ask for someone—whether it's this captain, that captain, or even the chief captain?

Absolutely no compromise!

Compromise is either zero times or countless times.

To expect mercy from the enemy?

That's something only an idiot would do.

Their mission is to grip their swords tightly and cut down all the enemies!

Seeing that no one raised any objections, Yamamoto nodded in satisfaction.

He dislikes cowards.

The peace and stability that Soul Society has enjoyed for the past thousand years was something he and his old friends snatched back from the hell of swords and blood!

If anyone dares to utter a word of cowardice, my sword will show no mercy!

"Since no one has any objections, then it's decided."

"I hereby announce to all members of the 13th Gotei 13."

"From this day forward, the entire court is on high alert. The announcement has been made: war is about to begin!!!"

His voice was deep and firm, like a thunderclap in the conference room, making everyone's blood boil.

…………

"By order of the Commander-in-Chief, the entire city is now under martial law and on high alert, effective immediately!"

The voices of the Rittalion soldiers relaying orders echoed throughout every corner of Seireitei.

Since the end of the last rebellion, the Seigotei 13 has not been in such a tense state for a long time.

Now, in all areas of Seireitei, including important places such as the Noble District and the Seireitei Tower, one can see squads of Shinigami dressed in black Shinigami uniforms running rapidly.

Gin Ichimaru stood quietly in the center of the 11th Division dojo, his gaze sweeping over the busy members around him.

He held a garrison map in his hand, his brows furrowed, a hint of irritation in his heart.

Like the other divisions, their 11th Division only has a little over two hundred members.

However, they need to be divided into three teams, each stationed in a different area.

Although the high-end combat capabilities are sufficient, the number of personnel for daily patrols is clearly insufficient due to the large size of the patrol area.

Just then, Liushui excitedly pushed open the door, holding up a warrant in his hand, and shouted loudly:

"That's great! Captain Shingetsu said that the Commander-in-Chief has given us permission to borrow people from the Kido Clan and the Onmitsuki!"

Upon hearing this news, Gin Ichimaru smiled.

This means they can finally solve their manpower shortage problem and better perform their defensive duties.

This is a mission that concerns the safety of the entire world, and he cannot afford to take it lightly.

After all, the people he cherishes live in this world.
