Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't know the way here, of course I followed you!"

Aozaki Mayuki shrugged, a helpless smile on her face.

Inaba Kagerou opened his mouth wide, but couldn't utter a sound.

His mind went blank; he was completely unable to comprehend what was happening before his eyes.

"You actually managed to keep up..."

After a long while, Inaba Kagerou finally managed to squeeze out those words through gritted teeth.

Seeing his shocked expression, Aozaki Mayuki couldn't help but laugh.

He gently patted Inaba Kagerousa on the shoulder and teased:

"Don't be so surprised. I was just strolling around and happened to run into an acquaintance and wanted to say hello. I didn't expect to end up here."

Inaba Shadow Wolf Zuo: "..."

Who is this person you know?! I wish I had never met you!!

Meeting that slightly disdainful gaze, he felt his intelligence had been insulted.

Deceiving too much!

I am a strong person who can withstand the opponent's slashes, how could I be like those trash who were easily killed by the opponent with one slash each!

A surge of intense anger clouded Inaba Kagerousa's mind once again.

"Dance wildly, Lai Kong!"

As his roar rang out, the long staff in his hand transformed into a sharp double-edged naginata in an instant.

Should we fight?

Although Aozaki Mayuki was still asking questions, his feet moved without hesitation, and he quickly rushed towards Inaba Kagerousa.

He easily traversed a distance of just over ten meters in the blink of an eye, and the young figure appeared before Inaba Kagerousa like a nightmare.

Without hesitation, Aozaki Mayuki opened her arms, clenched her fists, and her eyes revealed indifference.

Seeing Aozaki Mayuki charging towards him like a demon descending upon the world, Inaba Kagerou couldn't help but sneer:

"Hehe, I'll let you experience your own slash."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly brandished his long sword, spinning it to the left, while the light emanating from the sword gradually became dazzling.

In Inaba Kagerousa's view, no matter what kind of defense was used, it would be futile.

Because no one can physically withstand his all-out attack.

This is his understanding of death.

However, just as he was expecting Aozaki Mayuki to scream in agony and be torn apart by his attacks, reality dealt him a heavy blow.

The imagined scenario did not occur; Aozaki Mayuki's body was miraculously intact.

The sword pressure he unleashed struck straight at Aozaki Mayuki.

However, this seemingly powerful attack was as fragile as paper, and was instantly shattered by Aozaki Mayuki's body, which had no spiritual pressure protection.

Under the astonished gaze of Inaba Kagerousa, who was still in a daze.

A strong, powerful arm lashed out like lightning, instantly gripping the rapidly spinning Zanpakuto in his hand.

At the same time, a powerful spiritual pressure shockwave surged forth from the blade!

Snap!

With a crisp cracking sound, Inaba Kagerousa's Zanpakuto instantly shattered into countless fragments, scattering everywhere as wood chips and iron filings littered the ground.

Upon witnessing this scene, Inaba Kagerousa was completely stunned.

The sword pressure that had just easily defeated him and Ryudoji Genryu was now shattered so easily by the opponent!

Moreover, even his Zanpakuto, which he was so proud of and had painstakingly tried to completely control, was so easily destroyed by the other party!?

At this moment, he finally realized that during the battle in Seireitei, his opponent had simply been toying with him.

That earth-shattering slash was definitely not unleashed by Aozaki Mayuki at full power!

Thinking of this, Inaba Kagerousa's gaze towards Aozaki Mayuki involuntarily revealed a complex mix of anger and fear.

Chapter 469 In the Name of the Spirit King

Meanwhile, Aozaki Mayuki revealed a hearty smile.

His lips curled slightly upward, and his eyes revealed a hint of mockery and confidence.

"What, scared? Do you want to live? If you do, I happen to have a deal I'd like to discuss with you."

His voice carried an unquestionable authority, as if everything was under his control.

"What deal?"

The despairing Inaba Kagerousa snapped out of his daze, his eyes widening as he asked urgently.

His voice was filled with fear, but even more so with a desire to survive.

He knew that if he didn't agree to the deal, he might never have another chance to live.

"If you hand over the Spirit Remains technology, I might consider sparing your life, how about it?" Aozaki Mayuki asked.

His tone was as if he were talking about something completely ordinary, without the slightest fluctuation, but this calmness sent chills down one's spine.

Aozaki Mayuki's performance was as ordinary and unremarkable as a roadside vendor.

But in reality, this was a life-or-death gamble for Inaba Kagerousa.

Upon hearing that he could survive, a hint of surprise flashed across his face, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart.

However, he quickly frowned and asked suspiciously:

Why should I believe you?

His eyes were filled with wariness, making it difficult for him to easily trust the man in front of him.

After all, he had just gone through a fierce battle and was almost killed by the other party, so of course he had to be on high alert.

Aozaki Mayuki raised one hand, pointed to the sky, extended four fingers, and solemnly said:

“I can swear in the name of the Spirit King.”

His voice was full of solemnity and majesty, which moved Inaba Kagerousa deeply.

For Death, swearing an oath in the name of the Soul King is undoubtedly the most solemn oath.

Upon hearing this, Inaba Kagerousa was already 70-80% convinced of his promise.

Which Grim Reaper would joke about the Soul King's name?

Moreover, now they have no choice but to believe, as the power of life and death is in the other party's hands.

If you are strong enough, why would you need to make this choice?

At this moment, Inaba Kagerousa seemed to have transformed back into the timid Yushima Osh of the Ninth Division.

He realized something profoundly once again.

A powerless person is powerless to do anything.

He had no choice but to accept the deal proposed by Aozaki Mayuki.

Aozaki Mayuki quickly got what she wanted.

However, just as he confirmed that the research data was correct, a hand pierced through Inaba Kagerousa's heart.

He looked at Aozaki Mayuki in disbelief, his body trembling as he said:

"You clearly said...you wouldn't kill me."

"I said consider it. Do you understand what 'consider it' means?"

Aozaki Mayuki looked at him and shook her head.

"So after thinking it over, I still think it would be better if you became a dead person."

His gaze was indifferent, as if he were looking at something insignificant.

Inaba Kagerousa's eyes widened, seemingly unable to believe what he was seeing. His voice was filled with despair and anger:

"Why... I want to know a reason!"

Aozaki Mayuki smiled slightly, a hint of cruelty in her smile.

"Because the world is very important to that girl without you."

His voice was cold and ruthless, sending a chill down one's spine.

Inaba Kagerousa's face turned pale; he knew his fate was sealed.

Aozaki Mayuki glanced at him indifferently, her eyes devoid of any extra emotion.

This guy has already acquired the technology; it has no further value, so naturally there's no need for him to live.

Inaba Kagerou struggled to resist, but his strength had been completely exhausted.

Finally, he collapsed to the ground, his breath fading away.

Looking at his corpse, Aozaki Mayuki felt no pity or regret.

Oshima's ability to successfully develop the Spirit Remains undoubtedly demonstrates his exceptional talent and capabilities.

Unfortunately, Aozaki Mayuki was never short of people with extraordinary talents around him.

After all, the three most intelligent talents in Soul Society are all under his command.

His gaze slowly swept over the lifeless, drifting dust, then he bent down to pick up the Soul-Binding Pill from the ground, and casually crushed it with a light squeeze.

Then he turned around and walked away.

All that remained were shocking signs of destruction and a deathly silence.

Then, an invisible barrier rises from the outside, refusing entry to anything external.

Time flies by, and half a day has passed in the blink of an eye.
