Chapter 273 The Resentment of a Million-Year-Old Office Worker
The Soul King Palace is an independent space located in Soul Society.
The Soul King's real residence is a huge spindle-shaped building floating in the deepest part of the Omotesando—
Soul King's Great Inner Palace!
Passing through the long corridor, Ru Yueming, led by the monk, officially entered the Soul King's residence.
Just as he thought, what came into view was a huge empty room, with a diamond-shaped crystal suspended in the center, emitting a faint golden glow.
Inside the crystal, a broken humanoid creature was sealed.
Without limbs or internal organs, it was like an empty shell.
However, the most noteworthy thing was not these, but his strange eyes.
The four pupils in his eyes intertwined, forming a cross-shaped blank in the center.
As if he had noticed the arrival of outsiders, his pupils moved slightly, staring at the two figures at the door.
Hyoshubu Ichibei walked forward slowly, saluted respectfully, and then a heavy voice sounded in the empty room:
"Lord Soul King, I have brought the person you wanted."
"He is the new member of the Zero Division and the captain of the Eleventh Division, Kisaragi Akira."
The attitude of Kisaragi is different from Hyoshubu Ichibei, perhaps because of the long time with Mimihaki and Penida.
When Kisaragi Akira looked at the Soul King, there was no awe in his eyes, but a hint of intimacy.
By the way, can he still eat roasted sweet potatoes in this state?
Just as he was trying to think, Hyoshubu Ichibei, who was close to the crystal, seemed to have received some information and bowed his head respectfully:
"Yes, Lord Ling Wang."
After that, he turned and walked towards Ru Yueming, and said seriously:
"Lord Ling Wang has something to talk to you alone."
"I will wait inside and outside the palace, don't do anything rebellious, otherwise I will make you pay the price even if I risk my life."
Looking at the monk's serious expression, Ru Yueming nodded.
Seeing this, Hyoshubu Ichibei restored his usual kind smile, patted Ru Yueming on the shoulder and left the room.
But he could still feel the strong spiritual pressure lingering outside the room.
In the room, Ru Yueming and Ling Wang stared at each other.
Perhaps because the number of pupils was not as large as others, Ru Yueming felt a certain amount of pressure.
After thinking for a moment, he reached into his trouser pocket, fumbled around for a while, and took out two steaming baked sweet potatoes. He handed them to the Spirit King and gestured:
"One?"
The empty room suddenly fell into silence, and the Spirit King's eight pupils moved slightly. The complete version of omniscience and omnipotence seemed to have not expected this scene to happen.
Just when Ru Yueming felt a little uneasy, the baked sweet potato in his hand was suddenly decomposed into countless spirit particles and disappeared in an instant.
The spirit particles condensed in the crystal and turned into a complete baked sweet potato again.
In Ru Yueming's extremely stunned eyes, the Spirit King actually divided the baked sweet potato and ate it all!
Then a chaotic and disordered tone sounded, accurately transmitted to someone's ears.
"The taste is okay."
Ru Yueming looked at the Spirit King in the crystal with a shocked face. He was just being polite, but he didn't expect to get a response from the other party.
And the evaluation was so high.
Could it be that the roasted sweet potatoes of the old man in the mountain are the most powerful weapon in the Three Realms, the real treasure against the Soul King? !
Thinking of Mimihaji and Penida's attitude towards roasted sweet potatoes, Ru Yueming thought more and more that this was possible.
It turns out that the strongest skill of the old man in the mountain is not Ryujin Jakka, but this unparalleled roasted sweet potato technique in the world!
Well, it makes sense.
"We have tasted the sweet potatoes, and now it's time to talk about business."
Eight pupils turned together, staring closely at Ru Yueming in front of him.
Unlike just now, the originally chaotic and disordered tone has become the normal language of the Soul Society, and it sounds very friendly.
The tone also seems gentle and gentle.
It's like communicating with Yamamoto in a peaceful state.
"You should be very curious about why I want to meet you?"
Although there is no expression, the voice of the Soul King still echoes in the empty room.
Ru Yueming shook his head: "Not curious."
Soul King: "?"
Although he knows very little about the Soul King, with his amazing wisdom that is unrivaled in the Three Realms, he can also guess the Soul King's purpose.
As a great existence who opened up the Three Realms and maintained the stability of the Three Realms, the Soul King's omniscience and omnipotence are countless times stronger than Yhwach.
If nothing unexpected happens, his identity as a time traveler should not be hidden from the other party.
Ru Yueming had an idea about this long before he came.
As for his purpose, it is likely related to Yhwach.
The development of the Three Realms has been messed up by himself. As the maintainer, the Soul King must set things right and get everything back on track.
Just as Ru Yueming was trying to think.
The Soul King was also observing the changes in his expression, and the eight pupils in his eyes slowly turned, making fine adjustments in amplitude.
If you don't observe carefully, you can't find the changes in the position of his pupils.
Unknown, unknown, unknown...
Unlike others, his omniscience and omnipotence cannot see through the past and future of the person in front of him. There is only a thick layer of fog shrouding Ru Yueming.
It is precisely because of this that He let his right hand, Mimihaji, contact the other party and try to analyze everything about Ru Yueming.
However, during the contact, the Spirit King suddenly discovered that this guy was different from the creatures in the Three Realms.
Whether it is the individual himself or his unique way of thinking.
All in all, it's fun.
It's like adding new living water to a dead lake.
Ru Yueming's existence makes everything in the future blurry.
Such changes reminded him of the time when the three realms were not separated millions of years ago.
The Hollow began to devour humans, and the cycle was interrupted. If He hadn't appeared and used the power of annihilation to end the Hollow, all souls would eventually have become a huge Hollow, and the world would have fallen into complete stillness.
The appearance of the Spirit King made the world no longer static.
Does the appearance of Ru Yueming have a similar meaning?
"Actually, I invite you to come..."
The Spirit King spoke again, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ru Yueming's hand.
"Needless to say, Yhwach and I are at odds with each other!"
With a determined expression on his face, he said, "He is there without me, there is me without him."
"Anyway, one of us must die!"
Thousands of years ago, Yhwach launched a racial war and was almost killed by Yamamoto Shigekuni. In order to be resurrected, he had to fall into a slumber of nine hundred years.
With such hatred, it was naturally impossible for Yhwach to let Yamamoto Shigekuni go.
Although Old Man Shan usually hits and scolds him, this old man is just a man with a sharp mouth and a soft heart, and all his abilities lie in his mouth.
For an elder who cares about him, how can he watch him being killed by his enemies?
In addition, Yhwach's original purpose was to destroy the Three Realms and then create a new world without fear.
As a messenger of justice, how could I allow such injustice to happen?
So, there is no need to discuss!
The Spirit King's face showed a slight arc, as if he was smiling.
For some reason, Akira Kisaragi suddenly felt that this guy's expression looked a bit like Aizen.
It gives people a feeling of being under-drawn.
"I think you must have misunderstood something."
The calm voice sounded again, and the Spirit King looked at the young man in front of him and said seriously:
"Inviting you here this time has nothing to do with Yhwach."
Ruyue Ming's expression was startled: "What does that have to do with?"
Didn't Yhabach say that he was the son of the Spirit King? He was ready to kill him, but the father didn't care at all, right?
Could it be said that this guy is a illegitimate child who can't see the light?
"of course……"
The pupils slowly turned, and the Spirit King's voice became a little heavier:
"hell."
Ignoring the change in Ru Yueming's expression, the Spirit King recounted the history of countless years ago.
Listening to the long speech made me feel sleepy like the moon.
In the end, it can only be summed up in one sentence: the threat to the world is not Yhwach, but the hell outside the three realms.
Kisaragi Ming frowned.
Does this have anything to do with him?
Even the Spirit King couldn't solve the problem, could he handle it?
As we all know, the method of decomposing third-class souls used in the previous Soul Burial Ceremony also originated from the Soul King.
What seems to be an effective method actually treats the symptoms rather than the root cause.
"Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't understand."
The corners of the Soul King's lips curved, "You can just write down all my words and then repeat them to Aizen. I believe he will answer your doubts."
Hearing this, Ru Yueming's frown relaxed.
If I had said this earlier, it would have been over. Aizen, who had inherited his amazing wisdom, would definitely be able to analyze the Soul King's conspiracy.
"By the way, what about Yhwach?" Ruyue Ming raised his head and asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, his eight pupils stared straight at Ru Yueming. It wasn't until he felt a little hairy in his heart that the Spirit King's voice continued to ring in his ears:
“Can you understand the pain of a man working 24/7 for a million years?”
Ruyue Ming: "?"
Although I don’t quite understand what the Spirit King is saying, it sounds so miserable.
All year round, in a million years.
Just hearing these words gives people a feeling of deep despair.
…………
Ichibei, the commander of the army, was obviously stunned for a moment when he saw Akira Kisaragi walking out of the room intact.
He touched the beard on his face, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
It seems that it is different from what he thought?
After thinking to no avail, the monk stepped forward, showed a kind smile, and asked:
"Ming, what did Lord Spirit King talk about with you?"
Ru Yueming looked at him deeply, smiled meaningfully, and then squeezed out two words from between his teeth:
"secret."
The commander of the army, Ichibei: "..."
Why do you suddenly have an ominous premonition?
Could it be that the topic between the two of them has something to do with me?
Thinking of the supreme power of the Spiritual King millions of years ago, the monk shuddered inexplicably.
…………
Qilin Hall.
In the empty square, two figures turned into countless streams of light and fought fiercely. Heavy spiritual pressure lingered in the battlefield, bursting out brilliant sparks.
"Haha, so happy!"
Zaraki Kenpachi smiled ferociously, swinging his serrated sword wildly, and the golden spiritual pressure burned like a raging flame on his body.
The last time they fought so happily, they were still beaten by Ru Yueming.
It's a pity that my captain has been busy lately, and he rarely even returns to the 11th Division.
Fortunately, the captain still remembered him. Although he didn't do it himself, it was enough to find such a powerful opponent to fight with him.
Zaraki Kenpachi said that he will always remember this kindness.
Kirin Temple Tianshilang grinned, and the golden light in his hand was like a small sun, releasing its light to its heart's content.
Although he didn't know where Kisaragi Ming found the monster, this guy suited his liking.
You only need to suppress part of the spiritual pressure to have a great fight.
Feeling the terrifying power coming from the blade, he felt a sense of enjoyment and expectation that he had not experienced in a long time.
This is called fighting!
Tian Shilang of Kirin Temple dances the golden pika, and the water rushes freely on the blade.
“Enjoy sunbathing in the open-air hot spring!”
The huge water ball rushed out and swallowed Zaraki Kenpachi straight away.
The battle between the two became fierce.
Similar scenes are constantly playing out in the Qilin Temple.
However, others are not as perverted as Zaraki Kenpachi, because the density of souls in the Soul King Palace is extremely high, and they have used up all their strength just to maintain a fighting posture.
While familiar with the pressure of the Spiritual Palace, he is also constantly strengthening himself.
For the hard-working and militant Team 11, this place is nothing short of paradise.
Because there is no need to worry about injuries. Once they fall seriously injured, the divine soldiers guarding them will throw them into the hell hot spring of Kirinji Tenshiro.
It won't take a moment for the injury to heal.
Then you can join the fight again.
The cycle goes on and on, and Komamura Zuozhen feels that he is getting stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Others have similar feelings.
Aizen and Urahara Kisuke found a secluded place to discuss the Soul King's purpose and what to do if a certain person could not come back.
"How about killing the Spirit King?"
Urahara Kisuke scratched his head and said treasonous words without restraint.
Aizen's face darkened.
This guy stayed with Akira Kisaragi for too long, was gradually assimilated, and was no longer useful.
"You're a little too extreme."
The corners of Nie Yuli's mouth twitched, and a sinister smile appeared on her painted face:
"According to the information provided by Mr. Aizen, the purpose of the Soul King's existence is to maintain the stability of the Three Realms."
"If he is unfavorable to Mr. Palace Secretary, we can definitely prescribe the right medicine."
"For example, completely opening the passage between the three realms and hell..."
Urahara Kisuke: "..."
Which one of us is more extreme?
While the three were discussing, a familiar voice suddenly came:
"What, are you thinking about me?"
Ruyue Ming came to the three of them, squeezed out a seat without any explanation, and sat down cross-legged.
Seeing that this guy was still as unreliable and neurotic as ever, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter what, just come back.
"Captain, why did Lord Spirit King summon you?"
Urahara Kisuke asked the doubts in the three people's minds at the right time.
Hearing this, Ru Yueming grinned:
"The Spirit King saw that I am both wise and brave, and that I am a rare talent in the three realms. He is planning to designate me as the next candidate for the Spirit King, and I will be in charge of the Three Realms for him in the future!"
Three people: "?"
