From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 387: Bane: What should I do if my spiritual pressure is too strong!?

Bane's calm attitude of acceptance made Death speechless for a moment.

"Well, maybe after waiting for a few hundred or a thousand years or even longer, you will understand the pain in my heart." Death said softly after coming to his senses.

"I'm not interested in hearing about how many floors a bag of rice can be carried to." Bane interrupted the Death God's "pain theory" and said, "Why are you still sitting there? Hurry up and get up. I'll try to see if this position is comfortable."

"You..." The grim reaper looked a little out of control for a moment, but soon he started to laugh again and said, "At the last moment, it's not bad to meet an interesting little fellow like you."

Having said this, he slowly stood up from the throne and raised his hand to signal Bane to go and feel it.

Bane was really rude. He stretched his body, walked forward carelessly, and sat down on the throne without saying a word.

He thought there would be some earth-shattering changes, but after feeling it for three or five breaths, he looked up with some doubt and said, "No feeling?"

"I'm still here, of course you don't feel it." Death said very calmly.

He had clearly grown tired of seeing this endless desert, but before it turned into sand, he still felt inexplicably melancholy and reluctant.

"As the God of Death, I actually have an infinite yearning for life. It's really a sin." The God of Death murmured softly with a complicated tone.

Bane inexplicably felt that this sentence was quite philosophical. Looking at the back of the Grim Reaper, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

The God of Death did not want to get any response from Bane. After a long while, he turned to look at Bane and said, "Bless you, my successor. May you wait for a being similar to us earlier in the infinitely long prison in the future to take over the throne that will surely make you feel infinite pain."

"Thank you for your kind words." Bane didn't know how to respond to this blessing, and finally he could only utter these words.

Then, the Grim Reaper looked at Bane's finger, which had become full, and smiled, saying, "Before we part, as a gift, I will give you all my pure soul power. After all, you seem to like them quite a lot, don't you?"

As the words fell, Death raised his hand and gently placed it on Bane's shoulder.

At this moment, his soul seemed to be connected to Bane, and then, an extremely surging soul power, as broad and turbulent as the ocean, began to be rapidly infused into Bane's spirit.

It was visible to the naked eye that in just a few breaths, Bane's originally somewhat transparent spirit body turned into a substantial existence. There was no longer any sense of transparency, as if the physical body was still there!
Although it was an influx of extremely powerful force, Bane did not feel any discomfort at all. Instead, the fullness of power made him feel very refreshed.

Along with this infusion, the body of the god of death began to gradually become transparent and thin.

It was just like his appearance in the real world. It was at this moment that Bane realized that the god of death that appeared in the real world was just a small manifestation of the power he possessed.

When the last bit of pure and flawless soul power was injected into Bane's body, the spirit of the god of death began to decompose from under his feet, turning into grains of pure white sand, and gradually blending into the boundless desert on the ground.

At this final moment, Death didn't say anything. He just stared at Bane quietly with a look of relief in his eyes. Although his consciousness was about to fade away and disappear forever, his eyes were full of anticipation.

Just like that, under Bane's silent gaze, the god of death completely turned into nothingness and merged into the infinite sand of the Pure Land.

And at the moment when the last grain of sand fell to the ground, the throne where Bane was sitting suddenly burst out with power and permeated into Bane's spirit.

At this moment, Bane felt that he was sublimating. He was obviously still sitting on the throne, but his consciousness seemed to be constantly rising, flying towards the sky of the Pure Land. His vision became incomparably broad. After an unknown period of time, he seemed to have reached the highest point of the Pure Land, from where he could overlook the entire Pure Land.

However, at the end of the sight, there is still endless desert.

It was just a glance. The next moment, Bane's gaze sank and he returned to the throne again.

It was different. It was hard to describe the feeling. It was as if he and the Pure Land had become one, as if he owned the world.

He raised his hand gently and with a thought, the ruins of the surrounding palaces instantly turned into sand, without a trace of residue. Then, the Fortress of Justice of the Marine Headquarters, Marinford, rose up in front of Bane. It looked majestic, but without any vitality or reality.

Then, Bane opened his mouth and sucked. The fortress of justice in Marinford instantly collapsed, turning into a river of sand flowing in the air, pouring into Bane's mouth and turning into pure soul power in his body.

But compared to before, Bane no longer had that sense of exhilaration, because due to the gift from the god of death, his soul was now extremely powerful, as if he had been practicing in the Pure Land for a thousand years.

So the feeling of fullness that had previously made him feel pleasant has not improved much now.

Feeling the terrifying soul power surging in his body, Bane smacked his lips and said, "The God of Death is indeed so terrifying. This is the pure power gift left after he removed his self-consciousness and personal characteristics. I really don't know how long he has been absorbing soul power in this pure land?"

Just as Bane was feeling all this, suddenly, he seemed to sense the changes in the Pure Land.

Just like a rusty gear, the rust on it began to fall off, and the rules that had been stopped working for a long time began to become active again.

At this moment, Bane seemed to see the boundary between life and death described by the god of death. Perhaps because the god of death had been on strike for who knows how long, this boundary had become a little blurred. But now, with Bane taking over, this boundary, at the edge of the Pure Land at an unknown time, gradually became clear again, separating it from the present world and forming a towering barrier.

"This feeling." Bane murmured with a little surprise: "From now on, without my permission, the souls sleeping in the Pure Land will no longer be able to be summoned and drawn into the world as before?"

Not only are these eternally sleeping souls unable to escape, but all the soul-related techniques out there will probably be scrapped if he doesn't approve of them.

For example, the reincarnation of Chiyo of the Sand Village is to transform her own vitality into a soul in exchange for the soul of the dead returning from the Pure Land, which is equivalent to an exchange of life.

Previously, the Death God of Pure Land was sleeping and had no time to take care of these things, so this technique could be developed. Now, Bane has made Pure Land "alive" again, and the boundary between life and death has become clear. If these ninjas want to make such an exchange again, it will be impossible unless Bane nods his head and agrees, which is equivalent to adding a "middleman" or "manager".

All the related techniques such as Impure World Reincarnation, Self-Reincarnation, and Shikigami Fuujin are scrapped.

The new version of Pure Land has been updated, right? The old way is no longer applicable!
Not only that, Bane can now also feel the souls of the dead who are also sleeping forever in that pure land. As soon as he thought of it, his sight seemed to cross an infinite distance and he saw Hatake Sakumo sleeping at the edge of the pure land.

The bonfire was still burning, and Kakashi hadn't arrived yet.

Without doing anything unnecessary, Bane quickly withdrew his attention, felt it, and after finding no other unnecessary changes, he prepared to try to return to the real world.

Although I felt that there was no problem, this meeting with the god of death was still somewhat unexpected, such as this inexplicable throne and the sudden receipt of the soul gift from the god of death.

These changes made Bane feel a little worried.

"Open" Ben clasped his hands together, patted his chest, and said with a light sigh.

Then, the soul began to transform into a physical body. Although the soul power became many times greater than before, there were no accidents in this transformation, which made Bane feel a little relieved.

A moment later, he regained his physical form and turned from a dead person into a living person.

Then a feeling of rejection followed.

However, when the Pure Land, which had just started to operate smoothly again, realized the object of its repulsion, it was dumbfounded. For a moment, it seemed a little at a loss, and the force that repelled Bane even began to hesitate.

It was as if he didn't know whether he should push Bane out.

After all, Bane is now the so-called 'God of Death', the god of the Pure Land, but unfortunately, he has become a living person, which is completely contrary to the underlying operating logic of the Pure Land.

Jingtu was unable to make a judgment for a moment, so this question was immediately "conveyed" to Bane, the God of Death.

In an instant, Bane's mind flashed with his own situation, as if the Pure Land was asking him how to deal with this 'abnormal situation'. In other words, Bane was responsible for making the decision, whether to exclude himself from the Pure Land! ?

"Great, the management loop is closed, and I will manage myself? That's so convenient. I have strong self-management skills." Bane laughed and completely put his worries to rest.

Then, he stretched out his hand and drew a line in the void in front of him, and the boundary between life and death was gently pulled apart. The rift between the Pure Land and the real world appeared again, and was then stretched open by Bane to a degree large enough to accommodate his body.

Without any hesitation, Bane stepped out of the pure land and half of his body came into the real world.

You can even set the location yourself and appear directly in the cave of Ryuchi Cave.

Orochimaru was in Ryuchi Cave, and it was his daily patrol of the cave. He wanted to see when Lingzun would come back. Today was just a coincidence, so he saw Bane open the Pure Land and take a step out at a glance.

This made Orochimaru very excited, and he said excitedly: "It seems that Lingzun, you have gained something in the Pure Land?"

But just as he finished speaking, there was a sudden earthquake in the Ryuchi Cave. Large cracks appeared on the solid wall, and the rocky ground turned to powder on the spot. The surging spiritual power roared up and directly knocked Orochimaru out. He slammed heavily against the wall, spitting blood, and countless bones in his body were broken.

Not only the Longdi Cave, but the entire barren mountain where the Longdi Cave was located began to shake violently. Countless giant snakes crawled out of their caves, in a panic. Nami and the others didn't know what was going on, and they were all very surprised and confused.

"Damn, is this the reason why the boundary between life and death cannot be crossed!?" Bane reacted immediately and retracted his foot from the real world.

It was also at the moment when this half of his body returned to the Pure Land that the present world, which had been very turbulent and unstable just now, instantly calmed down.

Orochimaru slid down the wall, not caring about his serious injuries, and quickly looked at Ban in the gap and asked: "Spirit Master, what's going on?"

I wanted to say something like a gift from the god of death, but after thinking about it, Bane said in a very pretentious manner: "I took all the soul power from the god of death, so that even though I am in a physical body now, my soul power is still too huge. Once I set foot in the real world, it will cause chaos between life and death and lead to the collapse of the real world."

No wonder the god of death summoned by the Shiki Fuujin technique has a transparent sense of nothingness. It’s not because the god of death is stingy with his power, but because more of the power cannot be delivered to the world!

What prevented Bane from leaving the Pure Land and returning to the real world was not some rules or the problem of opening the realm of life and death, but because he was too strong!

He could definitely force his way into the real world, but wherever he passed, his soul power would be crushed and collapsed. Even a ninja of Orochimaru's level would be blown away by the surging soul power if he just faced him.

It's true that it will explode if you look at it again, and will melt if you get any closer!

For a moment, Bane thought of the Soul Society. Those powerful beings in the Gotei 13 could not easily descend into the real world, otherwise it would cause the collapse of the real world. They had to borrow something like artificial bodies, or seal their own spiritual pressure, before they could enter the real world.

Now, Bane felt that this was the situation he was facing.

"Because the power is so strong, just setting foot in the real world could cause such a disaster?" Orochimaru looked at Bane in surprise. There was some disbelief in his eyes, but he also felt it was terrifying.

At this moment, Orochimaru felt that Lingzun seemed to have entered the concept of "God"!
