Chapter 143 The Gate of Hell Opens
Somewhere in Seireitei
This is a space located deep underground in a certain facility, which is not marked on official maps.
It is a sacred place where the five nobles have discussed the policies of the Seireitei since ancient times, and is considered to be second only to the Soul King Palace in importance.
However, this does not mean that this is usually necessary for Seireitei.
Only when the heads of the five great noble families gather in that room will this place become so important that it is no exaggeration to say that its safety is directly related to the survival of Seireitei.
On the pentagonal conference table.
At this moment, the heads of the three great nobles were already sitting here.
"We haven't had a gathering like this in a long time." The head of the Shiba family, now the captain of the 10th Division, sighed.
"Although the three of us have appeared together during the Gotei 13 captains' meeting, there are still some differences."
The captain's meeting is a meeting related to the Gotei 13, and this meeting is related to the great nobles.
"Tell me, what is the purpose of this gathering?" After sighing, the head of the Shiba family asked the two people next to him.
"About investigating the Tsunayashiro family!"
Xiumu Yinling said in a deep voice.
"Tsunayashiro? What did they do again?"
The Shiba family has always been at odds with Tsunayashiro, and the relationship between the two families has been bad since ancient times.
Unfortunately, in recent years, the Shiba family has been declining.
Even though he knew that the Tsunayashiro family had done some bad things, he was powerless to do anything about it.
However, if Kuchiki and Shihouin joined forces and prepared to attack Tsunayashiro, he would not mind adding insult to injury.
……
With the joint efforts of the three families, the investigation into the Tsunayashiro family was forced through.
As for why it is not one of the four great nobles except Tsunayashiro?
This is because the most mysterious fifth noble is not actually in the Seireitei at all.
Although their existence has always been known in rumors.
But in reality, they exist somewhere else and have extremely important responsibilities.
This is also the reason why many people are curious about the existence of the fifth noble family, but can never find any trace of their existence.
Tsunayashiro family.
When the heads of the three families came here with the criminal army.
Tsunayashiro Tokisei seemed to have anticipated all of this.
"Tsunayashiro Tokisei, have you given up resisting?"
"Even if you are a great noble, you cannot be above the rules."
Yoruichi said sternly as he looked at Tsunayashiro Tokisei, who was sitting quietly in the family hall with a calm expression.
Tsunayashiro Tokisei swept his eyes over the three people who came here, "The reckless Shihouin brat, the pedantic Kuchiki brat, and... the weak Shiba brat, I never thought that one day, you, who are also great nobles, would take the initiative to come to me to accuse me for some common people's affairs."
"You know, we are in the same group."
"The history of Soul Society is the history of us nobles. The lives of the commoners are not worth caring about at all."
"Tsunayashiro Tokisho, how dare you call me a brat? Do you think you are very experienced?" After hearing what Tsunayashiro Tokisho said, Kuchiki Ginling suddenly became angry.
Compared to Yoruichi, the current head of the Shiba family, Tsunayashiro Tokisei was indeed older, but that definitely didn't include him.
Although it is true that the Kuchiki family has been passed down for several generations longer than the Shiba family, this is only because there were several short-lived family heads. In terms of age, he is older than Tsunayashiro Tokio.
"It seems you don't understand anything."
Tsunayashiro Tokisei sighed.
"Originally, I only intended to attack those civilians, and at most, I would solve some obstacles in the process. But now it seems that I was too kind. The majority of the so-called Gotei 13 are civilians."
"They are actually top-grade sacrifices."
As he spoke, Tsunayashiro Tokisei stood up.
His one arm still held the Zanpakuto that had been passed down from generation to generation in the Tsunayashiro family.
The next moment, powerful spiritual pressure burst out from Tsunayashiro Tokisei's body.
The spiritual pressure was actually released. The roof of the Tsunayashiro family's mansion, which was very high, instantly cracked under this terrifying spiritual pressure. Then, the spiritual pressure swept in all directions like a wave.
"This kind of spiritual pressure."
The three people who came here are all captain-level.
However, at this moment, they had no choice but to retreat in all directions under this terrifying spiritual pressure.
As they retreated, they looked at Tsunayashiro Tokio in horror. They had not expected that Tsunayashiro Tokio was hiding so deeply.
This is definitely not the strength that the head of Tsunayashiro should have.
If the other party possessed such strength, Tsunayashiro Tokinada would not have been able to do such a evil thing.
Then, under their gaze.
The Zanpakutō in Tsunayashiro Tokisei's hand released a deep blue light, and actually lifted up Tsunayashiro Tokisei's body and flew up into the sky through the broken gap in the roof.
The three of them could only leave the Tsunayashiro's mansion, and then stand on the ground, looking at Tsunayashiro Tokio who was floating in the air.
A substantial spiritual pressure enveloped Tsunayashiro Tokisei's body.
The terrifying power once again erupted from the sword in Tsunayashiro Tokio's hand, this time it was black spiritual pressure.
They were like an extremely viscous substance, constantly pouring out from it and gathering above Tsunamiya Yoshio's head.
"Although the accumulated strength is still lacking a little, it is barely enough."
"It would have been enough to sacrifice those civilians, but you forced me to use the Gotei 13 as sacrifices." Tsunayashiro Tokio looked down at the three heads of the great nobles and said.
"Crescent Moon Sky Rush."
The head of the Shiba family released his Zanpakutō and swung it. A white crescent moon broke through the air and attacked Tsunayashiro Tokio. This move could be said to be a unique skill passed down from generation to generation in the Shiba family. Perhaps everyone's Zanpakutō was different and had different abilities, but as long as one mastered the corresponding techniques, one could perform this move.
In the final analysis, Crescent Moon Sky Strike was nothing more than condensing the spiritual pressure into a crescent moon and slashing it out.
The white crescent disappeared as it approached Tsunayashiro's body.
No, it didn't dissipate, but was absorbed by something.
Then, under the gazes of several people, the black viscous substance gathered above Tsunayashiro Tokisei's head, and finally, it turned into a door.
On top of this door, there are countless white bones. These skeletons seem to be alive. They keep struggling but cannot break free from the door.
"Is this door...the door to hell?"
Although the styles are different.
But Xiumu Yinling still recognized the door.
Hell is an extremely mysterious world.
According to some secret records among the five nobles, the existence of hell is far older than the three realms of today.
Before the birth of the Three Realms.
Hell and the world today are mixed together.
Therefore, there is no birth and no death.
Later, it was the Spirit King who used his great power to divide the world into what we have today.
The world has life and death, and there is reincarnation between souls.
On the surface, the world of the living is the real world, and the world of the dead is Soul Society and Hueco Mundo.
Not so.
Soul Society and Hueco Mundo can actually be considered the world of the living.
When a human in the real world dies, their soul comes to Soul Society and lives another life as a spirit creature.
When they die again, they will turn into spirits and return to heaven and earth, return to the cycle of reincarnation, and after reincarnation, they will re-form new souls.
But the strong are not like that.
Because the concentration of spirit particles is too high, even if they die, it is difficult for them to transform into spirit particles and dissipate. At this time, they must be led into hell.
The ceremony of introducing hell is called "team burial". It is an extremely complicated ceremony that requires the use of the void as a sacrifice and a special way to open the crack of the gate of hell.
Hell is the real world of the dead.
Because that world is too mysterious and is not controlled by Soul Society, all Soul Society can do is suppress and restrict Hell. But even so, occasionally the power of Hell will affect the real world, such as the appearance of the gates of Hell, which will drag some extremely evil sinners into Hell to be punished.
Under normal circumstances, opening the gate of hell is an extremely demanding task.
Even if there is a team burial ceremony, all that can be pried open is just a crack.
"What does he want to do?"
This is the biggest question in the minds of the three great noble heads.
The appearance of the Gate of Hell was overwhelming, not to mention the terrifying spiritual pressure released by Tsunayashiro Tokinada.
Such a commotion naturally attracted the attention of Captain Yamamoto.
Thus, the Gotei 13 were mobilized.
Not far from Tsunayashiro's house.
Aizen adjusted his glasses.
"Opening the gate to hell, is that your goal?"
"But who are you, exactly? A villain who broke free from Hell? Possessing the body of Tsunayashiro-sama?"
……
"Door of hell?"
Another place.
Xia Mu looked at the huge portal that appeared in the sky and frowned slightly.
He just asked Kenpachi Zaraki to pass a message and asked Yoruichi to investigate Tsunayashiro's house, but he didn't expect that it would cause such a big commotion in the end, and even the most mysterious hell was involved.
It was beyond Xia Mu's expectation that things would develop to this point.
No wonder Feiyuan gave him such a special prophecy.
Just as Xia Mu was staring at the gate of hell.
The next moment, a black chain with no value appeared and extended from the gate of hell.
They were densely packed, spreading towards where the Gotei 13 were.
The speed is incredibly fast.
In an instant, it fell on many death gods.
Wrapped around their bodies.
"What the hell is this?"
"No!"
In a short time, the soul of the god of death was forcibly pulled out, and then sank into the gate of hell along with the chains. After the soul of the god of death was swallowed by the gate of hell, the originally tightly closed gate of hell quietly opened a gap.
