Infinite: Start as a ghost

Sheen glanced back: "From now on, no."

Shiro Sou nodded: "From now on, you are the Third Blade."

Sheen possessed the same wisdom, knowledge, and memory as Szayelaporro, and made a judgment in an instant.

You'll die if you don't agree!

"Then, as a gift from Your Majesty, I am willing to introduce Your Majesty to one more... no, a group of lovely subordinates."

"Really? Who?" Mochishiro Shuang also asked.

“They’re called Pikachu,” Sheen said. “They were originally one of the Espada, and their current number is NO.102.”

"Because of his ability, he could not remain an individual for a long time after liberation, so he usually appears as a hundred children scattered throughout Hueco Mundo."

"Each child who has broken through has the strength of a giant ordinary Hollow to a subordinate official."

In Soul Society parlance, Shin's words refer to the strength between a Seat Commander and a Vice-Captain.

“Since we can’t maintain our individual status for long, then we don’t need to,” said Souya Azashiro. “There are no further instructions at the moment. You are free to move around as you see fit.”

As he spoke, Mochi City Shuang vanished right before his eyes.

After he left, Sheen seemed to recall something: "Kenpachi Azajo, he's Kenpachi Azajo?!"

"Luo Jia, where is Luo Jia?" A surge of joy welled up in his heart: "I must find her immediately!"

"However, before that, I need to gather the power of the 0th Espada, Yammy."

In an instant, a wicked smile appeared on Sheen's face.

"Oh no, no, no." He immediately wiped the smile off his face: "No, within his domain, he will know everything we do."

Then, a look of confusion crossed his face: "But why was he able to leave Soul Society? Did he fuse Bankai with Hueco Mundo?"

"How large is the area?" A series of thoughts flashed through his mind.

It seems that Szayelaporro knew Kenpachi Azajo very well during his lifetime.

On the other side, there is the Palace of Penitence, which is the prison of the Soul Society.

Jie Zhiqing used some means to get the Gang Midai family to agree to his request to visit Gang Midai regularly for medical checkups.

"These murderous stones are really unsettling; they're the same no matter how many times we come here," Jie Zhiqing said with some dissatisfaction.

“There’s nothing I can do about it,” Tsunayoshi Tokina laughed. “You only come here occasionally, but I have to deal with these annoying things all the time.”

“You can get used to it over the decades, but I can’t.” Jie Zhiqing shook his head and smiled, “My spiritual power has been affected, which is really unsettling.”

"Let's get down to business," Tsunayoshi Tokinada asked. "How's the situation with those spirit remains?"

"It went very smoothly." Jie Zhiqing exclaimed, "Ying Langzuo is indeed a capable person."

“Except for Captain-Commander Yamamoto, he prepared two sets of the spirit remains of all the captains, each set being stronger than the original.”

"The completion rate of all the captains' remains has reached 80% to 90%."

"The spirit remains of Toshiro Hitsugaya have been perfected and are ready to be used at any time."

Tsunayoshi Tokina showed a look of surprise: "The spirit body is stronger than the original body?"

Jie Zhiqing laughed and said, "That's right. The first set of spirit remains is about 10% stronger than the original body, and the second set is even stronger, 30% stronger than the original body."

Tsunayo exclaimed in amazement, "In that case, Kagesarou is truly a talented individual."

Jie Zhiqing said, "There is just one thing I still have some doubts about."

Tsuna asked Tokinada, "What is it?"

Jie Zhiqing pondered for a moment and then said, "I have tested the spirit remains of Hitsugaya Toshiro."

"The Zanpakuto in his hand... is no different from the original."

Tsuna's pupils suddenly contracted and dilated: "Are you sure?"

“I’m sure!” Jie Zhiqing affirmed. “That’s precisely why I can’t understand it.”

"So it's not just that his spiritual pressure is stronger than his true self?" Tsunayoshi Tokinada muttered to himself.

Suddenly, a figure flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but mutter the name aloud: "Rotten Wood Echoes River!"

"Who?" Jie Zhiqing asked, "Who are you talking about, Rotten Wood?"

“That’s right, it’s Kuchiki’s surname,” Tsuna said. “I think Kagerouza used Kuchiki Hibiki’s abilities.”

"Who is this person?" Jie Zhiqing asked. "I've never heard of him before."

Tsuna said to Tokina, "This person... is a son-in-law of the Kuchiki family, the son-in-law of Kuchiki Ginrei, and also the uncle of Kuchiki Byakuya."

"Then you should be famous, why are you unknown?" Jie Zhiqing asked.

Tsunayo Tokinada said, "Because this is the Kuchiki family's dark history."

Chapter 220 The Gates of Hell Appear

"Kuchiki Kyouga has made many contributions to the Kuchiki family and the Gotei 13 with his great strength."

"But he also went astray because of his immense strength."

Tsuna said to Tokina, "Can you imagine that a vice-captain, with his spiritual pressure and the power of his Zanpakuto, could kill several captains?"

"Oh, really?" Jie Zhiqing said in surprise, "For a vice-captain to kill several captains, such a thing has never happened in the entire history of Soul Society, has it?"

“That’s right,” said Tsunayoshi Tokinada. “Especially considering that several captains are working together.”

Jie Zhiqing was even more surprised: "A team of captains working together and still getting killed?"

“That’s what makes him so powerful,” Tsunayoshi Tokina said with a smile. “Back then, Yamamoto Sou-no-den personally took action to deal with him.”

"And he alone cannot defeat Kuchiki Hibiki."

"It was only through the combined efforts of Lord Yamamoto and Lord Ginrei that he was killed."

Jie Zhiqing said, "If that's the case, then how did Zhaoying Langzu obtain the power of Kuchiki Xianghe?"

Tsunayoshi Tokina pondered, "I think the two of them didn't really kill him back then, but rather sealed him away."

"Only in this way can the reason for the Zanpakuto in Linghai's hands be explained."

"That's the second reason I wanted to ask you," Jie Zhiqing said. "What is his ability, and what is its connection to his Zanpakuto?"

Tsuna said, "Kuchiki Kyouga's ability is to influence the power of other Zanpakuto."

"Shikai, can hypnotize the Zanpakuto and sever the connection between the Zanpakuto and the host's soul."

"Bankai allows one to directly control the opponent's Zanpakuto and use it for their own purposes."

Jie Zhiqing sighed, "No wonder, even when several captains joined forces, they still died at his hands. His abilities are simply unbeatable."

“Yes,” Tsunayoshi Tokinada said. “I think that when Yamamoto made his move, he had already grown into a captain-level officer.”

"Otherwise, he and Lord Yinling would definitely have chosen to kill him rather than seal him away."

"In other words, he is someone that even Yamamoto Sou-dono and Lord Gin-ryeong couldn't kill together!"

Jie Zhiqing pondered, "But I haven't found any trace of Xiu Mu Xianghe at the Technology Development Bureau."

Tsunayoshi Tokina laughed and said, "He is very likely already dead."

Jie Zhiqing was taken aback: "Didn't you say he was sealed away?"

“That’s right,” Tsunayoshi Tokina said with a smile. “However, being sealed means that he will be unable to draw additional spiritual energy from the outside world and will only be able to survive by consuming his own power.”

"In human terms, he is very likely to have starved to death while sealed."

"Kagerou Sasuke may have only been able to find the characteristics of his residual spiritual pressure in order to understand the Zanpakuto of each captain and thus create those counterfeit Zanpakuto."

"So that's how it is." Jie Zhiqing suddenly realized.

“Only this explanation makes sense,” Tsunayoshi Tokinada said. “I can’t think of any other possibilities.”

"Is this the dark history of the Kuchiki family, and the reason why the Spirit Relic Zanpakuto can work?" Jie Zhiqing murmured.

“That’s right,” said Tsunayoshi Tokinada. “The Kuchiki family’s dark history has long been covered up.”

"These things are known only to a few people of the previous generation, and... the Tsunayoshi clan who guard the Great Spirit Book Corridor."

"Hehe, having this kind of privilege is really convenient for the Tsunayoshi clan," Jie Zhiqing laughed.

“That’s natural,” Tsunayoshi Tokinada said. “Did you come here to tell me about the spirit remains simply to report to me?”

"Otherwise what?" Jie Zhiqing shrugged. "Awula is still collecting corpses of various races everywhere, and you're in prison. I have nothing to do."

"You... have inherited Shadow Wolf Sasuke's memories, right?" Tsuna asked, then immediately denied it: "No, if you had fully inherited them, you shouldn't be unaware of Kuchiki Hibiki's story."

“One more surgery is needed.” Jie Zhiqing’s eyes flickered. “Once I complete the surgery, I will be able to extract his complete memories.”

"At that time, all his knowledge and skills will belong to me."

"Then, I will create another... a spirit body belonging to Shadow Wolf Zuo."

Tsuna asked Tokinada, "How long will it take?"

“At most, a week,” Jie Zhiqing said.

“Okay,” said Tsunayoshi Tokinada. “When the time comes, we will make another spirit body without any attributes.”

"What do you want to do?" Jie Zhiqing asked.

“Kenpachi Momoshiro, his body is extremely weak.” Tsunayoshi Tokina laughed, “Make a set of spirit bones for him to use, and eliminate his last weakness.”

Jie Zhiqing asked, "Aren't you afraid things will get out of control?"

"I'm not afraid," said Tsunayoshi Tokina. "The twenty-four captain-level spirit remains alone are enough to pacify the world, not to mention I'm here!"

Jie Zhiqing gave him a deep look, then turned and left.

Call Valley Base...

At this time, Amagai Shusuke and Kibune Risa had already recovered. Together with Koga Takeshi, the three of them were using all their strength to seal Shuangji.

Jiang Jiu was refining the Bengyu when suddenly, the corners of his mouth turned up.

"Finally, it has appeared?"

"The Gates of Hell".
