Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

Now, almost all of Death knows this.

Today, a thrilling incident occurred in Shin-chan Ward.

The undead invaded on a large scale, and Captain-Commander Aozaki personally led the captains in a valiant resistance.

The powerful spiritual pressure released by the Captain-Commander, like a towering sky, tightly protected the Seireitei.

At the same time, there were also many spiritual pressures that were extremely similar to those of the captains of each division.

At first, these spiritual pressures were fierce and extremely powerful, even enough to rival the captains of the Gotei 13, and gradually began to suppress most of the captains.

However, when the Captain-Commander unleashed his spiritual pressure...

Whether they were ordinary members of each squad, or vice-captains or captains, all their spiritual pressure instantly became as small and insignificant as fireflies under the bright moon.

In less than three minutes, those powerful spiritual pressures gradually weakened and eventually disappeared completely from everyone's perception range.

Although I was unable to witness firsthand the Captain-Commander once again displaying his astonishing power to save the Seireitei from peril.

However, with so many captain-level spiritual pressures, even excluding the dozen or so actual Gotei 13 captains, the remaining number of enemies is still enormous.

One can imagine how intense this battle was.

Even if it is slightly inferior to that thrilling hellish battle, it is destined to become a legendary epic that will be passed down by future generations.

Compared to the team members who whispered among themselves, the captains on site personally experienced all of this, and the impact on their hearts was much greater.

Their battle actually ended a little later than Aozaki Mayuki's.

However, because Aozaki Mayuki's spiritual pressure successfully suppressed those spirit captains, it made it easy for them to change positions during the battle.

When they first sensed Aozaki Mayuki's spiritual pressure, they immediately gathered in the direction of the general.

What they saw before them shocked them to their core—

Aozaki Mayuki was able to easily shatter a Spirit Corpse Captain with a single slap!

Watching a face exactly like your own being so easily destroyed is a feeling that is hard to describe.

Each blow seemed to remind them that these spirit captains were not the real them, yet they could not ignore the strong sense of similarity.

This conflicting feeling made them feel incredibly complicated.

In the past, everyone knew that Aozaki Mayuki was exceptionally strong.

But only now are they able to have a more direct understanding of this power.

In the past, people's impression of him was nothing more than his spiritual pressure being able to suppress the captain, his sword pressure instantly killing Kenpachi Kuruyashiki who had just walked out of the Gates of Hell, and his special ability to suppress the Guraku Corridor, etc.

However, today, when facing Captain Reihaku, whose spiritual pressure surpasses that of his original body and whose abilities are exactly the same as his original body.

This man did not use any fancy or clever moves, but relied on absolute power to ruthlessly suppress everything!

Chapter 470 Great People

More than a dozen Spirit Skeleton Captains and Spirit Skeleton Vice-Captains with Captain-level strength joined forces to launch an all-out attack.

However, faced with Aozaki Mayuki's pure and absolute power, they were like weeds that could be blown down by the wind, encountering an insurmountable giant, and were mercilessly trampled.

Facing those captains of the spirit corpses who either use Shikai or Bankai.

Aozaki Mayuki didn't even use his Zanpakuto; relying solely on his body and spiritual pressure, he quickly ended the battle in a very short time.

The spirits didn't even have a chance to surrender; the slightest touch would cause them to explode into a cloud of blood mist.

The reappearance of Aozaki Mayuki signaled the end of the war.

Next, as long as Aizen properly resolves the political legacy issues following the turmoil, everything will be successfully completed.

In this incident, a large number of nobles were labeled as spirits and secretly executed by the Gotei 13.

Even the surviving members of the Tsunayo family from decades ago were wiped out, and the family bloodline was completely severed.

The number of sages in the Central 46 Chambers has decreased by nearly half.

Their names, as victims murdered by the spirits, will be engraved on their tombstones.

Since there is no one to inherit the family assets, they can only be confiscated and turned over to the national treasury.

As for the private armies kept by the nobles...

All the assassins were executed, and the family warriors who wanted to go home could do so, or they would be absorbed into various military units.

But that wasn't the end of it. Immediately afterward, something happened that was enough to cause a huge uproar in Seireitei and leave a significant mark on the history of Soul Society.

At the suggestion of Aizen Sousuke, the vice-captain of the First Division, the remaining sages and judges unanimously agreed to reorganize the Central 46.

Although the number of seats will not increase, from now on, each captain of the Gotei 13 and one vice-captain of the First Division will automatically receive a Sage Seat.

The captain, on the other hand, will directly obtain the judge's seat.

Furthermore, each of the 46 Central Offices must elect a chief judge and a chief sage, namely the presiding judge and the great sage.

These two positions carry significant power and responsibility.

The former's powers likely include managing the daily affairs of the entire Seireitei, proposing legislation, dissolving the Central Forty-Six Offices and holding new elections, and representing the subjects in communication with King Soul Reaper, among other things.

The latter is responsible for assisting the former, providing help and advice in their work.

Unsurprisingly, this heavy responsibility ultimately fell on Captain-Commander Aozaki and Vice-Captain Aizen, who made outstanding contributions in this incident.

They earned the recognition and trust of the public through their abilities and achievements.

The truth is unclear.

But at the very least, that's what the Central 46th Office informed all the subjects of the Seireitei.

In the First Division Captain's office, Aozaki Mayuki stroked his chin, a smug smile on his face.

He looked at Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni and said:

"How was it, old man? We did a pretty good job this time, didn't we?"

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni narrowed his eyes slightly, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied with Aozaki Mayuki's impetuous attitude.

Even though he's become the captain, he still can't be more composed.

He sighed silently to himself, without responding to Aozaki Mayuki's question.

Instead, he continued to review all the orders issued by the Seireitei central government after the Reanimation Crisis.

These instructions cover various aspects.

This includes taking over real estate, improving the living environment of Rukongai, reducing taxes for commoners, cracking down on commercial monopolies, revising harsh laws and punishments, and even interfering in the inheritance rights of nobles.

These measures will undoubtedly bring about tremendous changes within the Seireitei, but may also trigger new contradictions and conflicts.

They actually planned to change the inheritance of the family property from being inherited by the sole heir to being jointly inherited by all the children.

Furthermore, it was stipulated that, apart from the heir designated by the head of the family, if other children did not achieve meritorious service, their titles would be gradually removed generation by generation.

Over the years, he has cultivated his character and temperament, transforming himself from a murderer from a thousand years ago into a murderer who has read many books.

How could one not understand this ancient, overt strategy originating from a major Western power?

Despite some subtle differences, both are essentially aimed at weakening the power of the elite.

Originally, Yamamoto had some doubts and concerns about whether Aozaki Mayuki had the ability to manage the Seireitei.

However, it now seems that this guy undoubtedly possesses sufficient ability in terms of both strength and political maneuvering.

But... this brat, along with himself and the ladies of the Aozaki family, are all nobles, and many of them even belong to the five great noble families.

This is cutting flesh off one's own body with a knife.

He's so ruthless to himself, what exactly does he want to do?

It was not uncommon for the children of noble families to fight each other over inheritance.

The most typical example is the Tsunayoshiro family, where even the elders of the family encourage the younger generation to fight for power and profit.

The power of the nobility is so tempting, isn't he even a little bit greedy for it?

For a moment, Yamamoto stared at Aozaki Mayuki, his emotions becoming extremely complex.

It's like seeing a mischievous child who used to pull his own beard suddenly become a noble and virtuous saint—it's heartbreaking.

If it were a thousand years ago, when he learned that someone dared to take advantage of the chaos of war to try to overthrow the rule of the nobility, he probably would have already unleashed his Bankai and gone to confront them without hesitation.

But now, faced with this situation, he is truly at a loss as to how to properly handle the matter.

Despite Aozaki Mayuki's blatant and undisguised murder of the Sage and the Judge, and his usurpation of power from the Central 46 Chambers.

But in everyone's eyes, these are all helpless measures taken to protect the world.

Moreover, it's all from a perspective of self-interest.

These decrees not only brought no benefit to Aozaki Mayuki personally, but he, as a noble upper-class nobleman, was also a complete victim.

If word gets out, people will say that Aozaki Mayuki is abusing his power and engaging in corrupt practices.

Not only do others not believe it, but even he himself finds it absurd and laughable.

Moreover, from the perspective of the vast majority of people in Soul Society, he could even be praised as "great".

But is his little disciple really such a great person?

Yamamoto's mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts, as complex as a tangled mess.

Suddenly, he realized that he himself could hardly understand the thoughts and actions of the young disciple in front of him.

He couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

After a long and careful consideration, Yamamoto seemed to have finally made a decision, and at the same time felt a sense of relief.

He said slowly:

"These orders have only just begun to be implemented, how can we expect to see significant results immediately?"

"I can live for another hundred years or so. Whether what you are doing is right or wrong, time will be the best witness."

However, he warned:

"But if your decisions go wrong outside of this timeframe, then I'm not capable of cleaning up this mess for you!"

Upon hearing this, Aozaki Mayuki curled her lip in disdain, showing no agreement with Yamamoto's words.
