Bleach: Traveling through Soi-Fong, Starting from Bankai

As the superstition circulating in Soul Society goes, once a soul reaches the realm of third-class spiritual power, after death, the spirit loses the qualification to return to the land of Soul Society.

In order to prevent the dangerous spirit from floating around in Soul Society, a "Soul Burial Ceremony" must be held.

Send those spirits to hell!

All the captains of the first generation of the Gotei 13 were of the first-class spiritual power level.

Their spirits have lost the qualification to return to the earth.

Death lives a long life, but not without end.

Saito is immortal and has participated in the "soul burial ceremony" of his former comrades ten times.

Thanks to the name bestowed by the Lingying Tree, and the power above the name.

Saito, whose soul talent was only average, should have died with him, but she has always maintained the appearance of a beautiful girl and survived to this day.

Barring any accidents, she will live on.

First, she saw Yamamoto off to his final resting place, and then, over the long years, she mocked the old woman who was getting older and uglier.

If the old women also died, Saito would visit their graves.

Just like her name [Immortal].

Things should have continued like this, but there was one thing that concerned her.

Colleagues left one after another, and Lingzi was thrown into hell.

After seeing so much, Saito also felt lonely.

The blood connection prompted her to go back to the Kuchiki family.

As time passed, those who had spoken coldly to her and forced her to change her surname and marry had all turned into spirits and returned to the earth.

No one even remembered that she possessed the power of the Hollow.

As the captain of the powerful 6th Division, the Kuchiki family treated her as a guest of honor and was extremely honored.

It was also at this time that Saito discovered that the Kuchiki family, which had lost the protection of the spirit cherry and had only one rotten tree left in its land, had long lost the glory of the Sakuragi family.

Although they still belong to the five great noble families, they only have status as no Grim Reaper with outstanding spiritual power has appeared in the family.

The cherry tree that she regarded as her spiritual support also became a rotten and dry dead tree.

"Is that so? So I'm loved too?"

Saito realized later that the spirit cherry tree had integrated everything into its name and given it all to him.

Saito, who had lived in the Kuchiki family for a long time, was bored with the Soul Society, where there was no more killing. One day, he made a decision:

"I heard that going to hell doesn't mean dying."

"There is endless fighting there, death and rebirth, and rebirth and death again."

The immortal girl with twintails grinned wildly:

"What kind of hell is that—"

"It's clearly the paradise we've been waiting for!"

Beings who have fallen into hell have no way to die.

Then, [immortality] has no meaning.

Saito returned the power of [Immortality] to the rotten tree.

And girls always have selfish motives.

"I don't want to be like an old woman, with crow's feet slowly creeping up around my eyes!"

She ultimately retained the power of immortality.

Afterwards, the immortal Saito chose to die under the spirit cherry tree.

Fall into hell.

The rotten tree in the Kuchiki family suddenly came back to life and bloomed a branch of extremely lush cherry blossoms.

But what Saito didn't expect was that when she arrived in hell, she was trapped around a rotten tree with half-opened wisteria flowers because she didn't return [Immortality].

This was completely different from the life she had imagined, a life of killing people in hell together with her former comrades.

For nearly a thousand years, she could only find some fun when she occasionally encountered a half-crazy soul falling from the sky or a mindless prison ghost wandering in.

Boring as hell.

So boring!

So boring!!!

Saito, who is about to be driven crazy by boredom, feels the madness growing in his heart every day, wearing away his humanity and will.

Until she met Soi-Feng.

——A god of death who does not belong to hell, but is lost and comes to hell.

——A Death God with Hollow Spiritual Pressure who can help her return the power of [Immortality]!

Chapter 218 Broken Bee [Immortality]

The scroll of memory closes and never unfolds again.

Soi Feng returned to the dark space.

Looking around, the image of young Saito with purple hair and twin ponytails was nowhere to be found.

Only the huge cherry blossom tree remains.

"So that's it."

Soi-Fong had a sudden realization in her mind.

Like a kaleidoscope, we can see Saito's immortal life.

Soi Fong realized that the withered eyeballs beneath her black eye mask symbolized the power of immortality.

"In other words, she entrusted me with the power of immortality, asking me to return the half-rotten cherry tree to the Kuchiki family."

"Will this end her plight of being trapped in hell for nearly a thousand years, unable to leave and forced to stay where she is?"

"But she also emphasized that I should return it after I get used to it."

"And I mentioned that I possess the power of Hollows, and that the power of [Immortality] would be beneficial to me."

"This is the reward Miss Saito gave me."

This is not Soi Fong's own mental world, but a unique consciousness space related to the power of [Immortality].

The cherry blossoms in full bloom before us are proof of this.

"So, what do you want to convey to me?"

Soi Fong approached the cherry tree and stroked her hand along its rough trunk.

"At the moment I was in danger, they suppressed my plan to turn the tables."

"My two vital points, [Lock and Knot] and [Soul Sleep], were broken, and I was on the verge of death."

"Since you are the one behind this, you have to give me an explanation, right?"

A strange vibration came from the tree trunk, and Soi Feng closed her eyes, immersed in it.

Cherry blossom petals keep falling.

It seemed like a moment had passed, but also like a lifetime had passed.

Soi Fong opened her eyes.

"[Immortal Agelessness], so this is what it means."

Before the Three Realms opened, the original souls followed the Spirit King.

At that time, it corresponded to the original, spiritually powerful soul.

The original void that can devour spiritual energy appeared.

The original void is characterized by [immortality].

It cannot be killed without the help of the Spirit King, and even if it is killed, more Voids will appear.

The original soul later evolved into the first god of death.

Their characteristic is [immortality].

After thousands of years, the body and mind remain unchanged.

【Immortality】is both a state and a symbol.

It symbolizes the life of the spirit particle, just like its original, perfect state.

Later, the Spirit King killed the original Great Void, divided the three realms, and formed the covering and suppressing hell.

Both the Shinigami and the Hollows deteriorate over time.

They may become stronger with each generation, but they can never return to the state of immortality.

Just like Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, who was so powerful that he could dominate the Soul Society and could be said to have ruled the world for eternity.

As the soul of the god of death, he is inevitably getting old.

Hair loss, balding, gray hair, wrinkled skin and loss of elasticity are all proof of this.

Unohana Yachiryu is not as powerful as Yamamoto, but his soul is closer to the state of immortality than Yamamoto.

Thousands of years have passed, and the years have only gently carved a few marks on the corners of her eyes.

The same goes for Xu.

Killian, Achukas, Vastold, and then to the new realm of Arrancar.

Hollows are weak, pale monsters with holes in their bodies that devour without a mind.

Grow into a powerful, intelligent, and spiritually gifted Great Void.

But their souls have long since deteriorated.

[Immortality] degenerates into [Steel Skin], [Super-Speed Regeneration], and powerful physical qualities.

However, there is one exception.

Led by a certain being, they found the crown of the original Great Void under the white desert.

They established civilization, followed the origin, and brought their existence infinitely close to [immortality].

And Soi Fong happens to carry the power that is closest to the immortal existence in this civilized Hollow.

However, she used it as [Super Speed Regeneration].

Saito is immortal, and the [immortal] power that represents the original pure god of death that he entrusted to Soi Fong is stimulated by this [super-speed regeneration] that is infinitely close to [immortality], and is activated and revitalized in advance.

——Completed the deterioration of Soi Fong, the Soul of the Shinigami.

"In other words, now I can also call myself—"

"Suifeng [Immortal]."

----------------

Yu Lu Zhe Liu was the first to notice that something was wrong with Shui Feng.

As she was about to leave, she said "Huh" uncertainly.

The vital points were broken and all spiritual power was lost.

After suffering such a severe blow, Shattered Bee should have quickly lost its life force.

But for some reason, she exuded a kind of aura of "there is no construction without destruction".

Zaraki Kenpachi was attracted by the sound of raindrops and pomegranates, and turned around and asked:

"what happened?"

Following Yuluzheliu's gaze, he looked towards Soi-Fong:

"Are you lamenting that she's dead?"

"With all his spiritual power gone, his internal organs and lungs ruptured and bleeding profusely, it's a miracle he managed to hold on for this long—"
