Chapter 767 Eating, Eating, Eating
When they first took Yuko in, this idiot was half-dead and showed no respect for life or death whatsoever.
This is truly unbelievable, like the sun rising in the west!
After Yuko showed off for a bit, Mayuri Kurotsuchi didn't dare to make a move against Yoshino. He could only grit his teeth and glare at everyone before hurriedly leaving the Twelfth Division with his men.
Having clearly been rebuffed here, he hurriedly went elsewhere to look for Bavent.
If we're talking about who was most active in this Bavent invasion, Mayuri Kurotsuchi definitely deserves a mention; he truly lives up to his reputation as a research fanatic.
It was this fanaticism that led them to disregard life, which made Yuko somewhat uncomfortable.
……
After leaving the 12th Division, Ikuko ignored the chaotic situation within the Seireitei.
The spiritual pressure was still surging erratically all around, and explosions were heard everywhere.
Bount, strengthened once again by her blood and the spiritual pressure of Soul Society, is a match even for captains. For the Gotei 13, who have not yet fully recovered from the Aizen incident, this is a considerable challenge.
Yuko clutched the booklet she had taken from Landao, her footsteps light as she walked among the intricate rooftops of Seireitei.
"The first one is nearby."
Yuko stopped in front of a secluded warehouse, the territory of which she didn't know. She had never truly figured out the locations of the various divisions of the Gotei 13.
Yuko landed on the roof, her right hand pressing against the floor. Spiritual pressure seeped into the earth through her fingertips, quickly returning with a cold and heavy sense of resistance.
The spiritual pressure penetrated the ground, and feedback came quickly.
The ground beneath wasn't entirely solid; there was a faint sense of voids, and what's more, this is...
The spiritual energy encountered resistance and could not advance even half a step further.
"Killing Intent Stone..."
Killing Intent Stone is a material that can shield spiritual pressure, and most buildings within the Seireitei are constructed using it. This explains why the Purification Scepter remained buried underground for so many years without being discovered.
She considers herself to have exceptional perception abilities, ranking among the best in this field.
But if you didn't know beforehand that something was buried underground at this location, you really wouldn't notice this strangeness.
A glint of spiritual energy flashed in Yu Zi's eyes, without any grand display, only a slight distortion of space.
Yuko's figure disappeared directly into the ground without damaging any buildings.
Her body gradually sank deeper into the ground, and soon arrived at the location where spiritual energy was being fed back.
Yuko landed directly in a small, dark room. In the very center of the room, an object encased in a huge cube of killing intent floated. Through the gaps in the cube, a dark red light could be seen emanating from within.
"As expected, this is the method of sealing."
The Purification Chapter was sealed inside using a spell and a Killing Stone. However, after so many years, both the spell and the Killing Stone have been damaged, causing the seal of the Purification Chapter to loosen considerably. No wonder Lan Island is worried that the Purification Chapter will be detonated.
Yuko stepped forward, made a gesture with her right hand, and her Zanpakuto was drawn from the void, precisely slicing through the Killing Stone.
With a snap, the heavy stone shattered, revealing its true interior.
It was an oval-shaped red sphere, several meters tall, that looked like a beating heart. Its outer shell was crystal clear, and its interior contained incredibly dense, high-purity spiritual energy.
Even after thousands of years, the energy of these spiritual particles has not leaked out in the slightest.
This is the Purification Chapter; it's such a huge thing.
"It's really beautiful. If this explodes, it will definitely save a lot of demolition costs." Yu Zi muttered to himself, then reached out and carefully used his spiritual power to drag the Cleansing Realm Chapter down.
Her fingertips touched the red sphere.
To ordinary Shinigami, this thing is an untouchable powder keg, capable of triggering a chain reaction if spiritual pressure becomes unbalanced. But in Yuuko's eyes, all energy operates according to its own laws and rules.
However, even with Yuko's strong sense of balance, the spiritual particles within her body began to tremble violently upon touching the red sphere.
"I see. It's not just spiritual particles; other souls are also mixed in."
With just a slight perception, Yuko sensed the truth of the Purification Chapter.
As a spirit particle generating device, it used the soul of the Grim Reaper during the immortality experiment, which caused the spirit particles to be mixed with the soul of the Grim Reaper, making them extremely mottled.
The spiritual particles operate in a chaotic and complex manner, which even Yuko cannot perfectly harmonize.
To absorb this mottled spiritual energy, one must be like the Bount, a race born from the immortality experiment.
Otherwise, the only option is to use other methods to remove the fragmented soul, leaving only the pure spiritual particles. This is clearly not something that can be accomplished overnight; it requires various instruments for extraction.
“Absorbing energy requires a conversion process... that’s too troublesome, let’s just rewrite the rules.”
Yu Zi frowned slightly, too lazy to go through the formalities.
She unleashed her Bankai directly, and the next second, the previously restless red sphere eerily quieted down. Immediately afterwards, the entire Purification Seal began to disintegrate from the point of contact, and the spiritual particles rippled out in circles of red spiritual particles, transforming into countless tiny streams of red spiritual particles that surged wildly into Yuuko's body along her arm.
boom!!!
A torrent of spiritual energy washed over Yuko's body, her long crimson hair dancing wildly in the overflowing red spiritual light, and her long-dormant spiritual pressure began to show signs of loosening.
This thing... it's really exciting!
Although its spiritual energy content is not as high as the one that caused the accident underground in the 12th Division, which was enough to destroy one-tenth of Seireitei, this one's content is almost the same as that of a captain-level spiritual energy.
The one that caused the accident underground in the 12th Division was a spirit particle generating device that was being researched at the time, so it had a higher content of spiritual energy.
But there's nothing to regret, after all, there are still dozens of these. Even if it's just the spiritual power of a vice-captain, these dozens together are still quite substantial.
If it were truly detonated by the Purification Chapter of Kariyagami, the entire Seireitei would be sent flying into the sky, turning into a dazzling mushroom cloud.
"call……"
A moment later, the dark room fell silent. The red sphere vanished without a trace, completely decomposed by Yu Zi, leaving only scattered pieces of killing intent stones scattered around, still bearing witness to the traces of this place.
Yuko stood there, making a loose fist: "I feel... I'm still not full."
The spiritual energy of a captain-level being was enough to fill her up to about three-tenths, and the spiritual energy given to Bount was restored to about a few-tenths of its original level. Two more pills would be enough to restore her to her full strength.
She glanced at the booklet and then vanished underground.
……
Back on the ground, the sounds of battle continued to emanate from all around.
Yu Zi had no intention of fighting; she only wanted a good meal. Remembering the location of the Purification Chapter in the booklet, she headed towards the nearest Purification Chapter.
The closest Purification Chapter to her was actually hidden underground in the Eleventh Division's barracks and training grounds.
As a notoriously brute squad, when Yuko arrived, there wasn't a soul in the squad; they were probably all out looking for a fight with Bount.
That's good, it saves Yuko the trouble. Originally, she was thinking of digging a hole in from the outside to get in.
Yu Zi followed the same method to enter the underground chamber. The seal on the killing stone here was even stronger, and the seal was well preserved, making it almost impossible to be directly detonated.
Yu Zi cut open the Killing Stone, and the red light of the Purification Chapter illuminated Yu Zi's face.
This Purification Chapter contains less spiritual power than the previous one, but it still doesn't contain any mottled souls. Presumably, as a spirit particle generating device, it hasn't undergone soul particle experiments yet, and it only contains pure spirit particles, so there's no need to break down the mottled souls.
Having learned from her previous experience, she absorbed the nutrients even faster this time.
Then came the third, and the fourth.
……
I'm a little full.
Yuko sat on the broken pieces of the murderous stone and let out a long sigh.
She had just absorbed the tenth Cleansing Realm Chapter, and she was finally as full as she could be.
Originally, she thought three or four would be enough, but because of the difference in the spiritual energy content of the Pure Realm Chapters, Yu Zi absorbed a full ten before she was full, and only then was she able to make up for the spiritual energy she lost from Bavent.
"However, the body can still withstand this level of spiritual power."
Yu Zi sat for a few minutes to recover, then stood up and disappeared from the spot.
The saying goes, "Too much of a good thing will make you feel like your stomach is going to explode," but Yuko is determined to be greedy.
One more, then two more...
Ten more were taken.
Yuko slumped against the wall in a corner of the dark room beneath the Fourth Division, her body emanating a faint red aura.
I ate a bit too much, and the spiritual pressure inside my body is starting to get out of control.
Her spiritual pressure has not yet broken through the limit; it is only limited by the limits of her body, making it difficult for her spiritual pressure to be enhanced by spiritual particles from the outside world.
No matter how much food you have, your stomach can only hold so much.
If we compare Yu Zi's spiritual energy reserves to a washbasin, then the old man's spiritual energy reserves are like a large foot basin.
The upper limit of spiritual energy reserves is mostly increased through training, and training cannot be rushed.
Yuko felt somewhat unwilling that it would end like this.
No, it's not that I'm unwilling to accept it.
The main problem is that there are only twenty of them. Aren't there still dozens more waiting to be released?
It would be bad if it were detonated by Kariya.
She was, after all, the third seat of the second division; protecting the Seireitei is everyone's responsibility.
……
Five more...
I really can't eat anymore.
The spiritual pressure was completely out of control, overflowing from the surface of his body.
If it weren't for the fact that the underground was deep enough and that the killing intent stone was concealing her, she would probably have been noticed by others by now.
"call……"
Yuko sat on a piece of murderous stone fragment and let out a long breath.
Her crimson eyes began to separate, adhering and deforming into the appearance of double pupils, and her crimson eyes also turned gold.
Her long, wine-red hair turned golden, and a pair of ferocious horns appeared on her head. Some veins were visible on her fair skin, and her black fingernails were several centimeters long.
It's so long that it's hard to even hold a knife.
Only after she had fully transformed into a demon did the bloating slowly disappear. She closed her eyes slightly, and the chaotic spiritual energy emanating from her body receded back into her body.
This is Yuko's most perfect state right now, as it can hold more spiritual energy.
……
As time went by, the night deepened.
The Seireitei, which was originally in chaos due to the Bayonte invasion, is now in a strange balance.
The Grim Reaper is fighting the disruptive Bount, and it seems that Bount's spiritual pressure has disappeared. It's unclear whether he has hidden himself or been killed.
Ichigo travels to various places, searching for traces of Kariya.
Meanwhile, Yuko was carrying out one frenzied plunder after another underground, unnoticed by anyone.
After absorbing another twenty Cleansing Chapters, the spiritual power that had been painstakingly suppressed within his body once again leaked out.
The originally crimson spiritual pressure had now become so dense that it resembled blood, making Yuko appear as if she were being swallowed by blood energy.
Fine cracks appeared on Yuko's body, a sign that her body could not withstand the excessive spiritual energy she had absorbed.
If it were any other Grim Reaper, they would probably be on the verge of dying, their bodies potentially disintegrating at any moment.
That is, Yuko's body is on the verge of being patched up, constantly breaking down and being repaired. It seems very dangerous, but in reality, it is not safe at all.
But right now, her health isn't the most critical issue...
Yuko looked at the killing intent stones she had intentionally placed around her. The spiritual pressure spreading from her body was blocked by these killing intent stones, just like water hitting a stone wall.
Upon closer inspection, it becomes apparent that these stone walls are not perfectly sealed, and a faint red spiritual pressure emanates from them, penetrating the killing intent stones.
These things can't quite contain her presence.
Yuko had been in the location of the Purification Seal for twenty minutes, but she still hadn't been able to suppress her spiritual pressure back into her body, which meant that she had truly reached her limit.
Yuko's spiritual pressure has now reached the limit of a Shinigami, making her equal to the old man of the mountain. Even Hana and Kyoraku Shunsui's spiritual pressure cannot compare to hers.
This is not just a short-term increase; once she has digested all this spiritual pressure, it will become a permanent power.
The booklet shows that there are still about ten chapters of the Pure Realm chapter. If I don't eat them all together, I'll feel a little uneasy.
Yuko never really understood what Urahara Kisuke and Aizen meant by transcending the boundaries between Shinigami and Hollows.
The boundaries they're referring to shouldn't just be boundaries of power.
Rather, it represents the boundary between two kinds of life, two kinds of existence: death and Hollow.
This is a limit that cannot be broken through by simply increasing spiritual pressure through regular hard work and training.
As the strongest Shinigami in a thousand years, the old man's spiritual pressure has been stuck at the limit of first-class spiritual pressure for who knows how many years. Is it because he hasn't been training hard enough?
No, that is the limit of death; his power is the limit that death can see.
Therefore, Aizen was not satisfied with this limit and tried to break through it using other methods.
Both Aizen and Urahara share the same view: to rely on the power of Hollows to help Shinigami break through their limits.
Yuko's body naturally contained illusory power, but the scene she had imagined was completely different.
Could it be that the power of the void is too weak?
No, if you have to say, she's not purely a grim reaper either.
