From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 497: I, Hikifune Kiryu, will never enjoy this glory alone!
Division 12, Technology Development Bureau.

A big pit has been blown up in this underground building. Standing on the pit surface and looking down, you can see the fourth floor at a glance.

Obviously, everything on top was blown to pieces.

The soldiers of the 12th Squad are digging, cleaning and collecting the surrounding area.

Vice-captain Hisari Saruaki was giving orders while watching Hikifune Kiryu, Orochimaru and the others crawling out of the pit.

Normally, they all looked dignified in their white coats, officers' chairs, and captains' haoris, but now they looked as miserable as they could be.

Orochimaru's entire left arm was blown off, blood was spurting out, bone spurs were exposed, his breath was disordered, his spiritual pressure flickered from time to time, and his originally smooth long black hair vaguely looked like an afro.

The same goes for Kurotsuchi Mayuri. There was a big hole in his stomach, his intestines were hanging out, and bleeding wouldn't stop. He looked like he would die at any moment.

Urahara Kisuke's hat was torn into pieces, and there was a piece of iron stuck on his forehead, probably stuck in his skull. There was a crack on the left side of his mouth, revealing his gums and teeth, and the wound was almost opening to the back of his head.

Only Hikifune Kiryu didn't seem to be injured, but his spiritual pressure was very weak and his face was pale.

"Are they really okay? You call this no casualties? Why don't we go to the 4th Division to take a look? Don't hold back on this." Saruaki Hisori said worriedly as she looked at their miserable appearance.

After crawling out of the underground laboratory, Orochimaru breathed a sigh of relief. His spiritual pressure seemed to be more stable. He then said, "That's not necessary. Don't look at us like this, but it's actually nothing."

As he spoke, he seemed to be retching, and the retching became more and more intense, and it seemed like he couldn't stop at all, which made Saruaki Hisori terrified.

You haven't even finished talking yet and you've vomited to death?

But before she could say anything, Orochimaru let out a "whoa" sound and started vomiting, with his mouth wide open, as if a head was spitting out of his mouth.

Then the head covered with mucus drilled out, and immediately spread out its two hands and forcibly pried open Orochimaru's upper and lower jaws. In a moment, a brand new Orochimaru appeared in front of everyone.

Apart from the significant weakening of his spiritual pressure, he seemed to be in perfect condition.

The body on the ground, which looked like a snake shedding its skin, quickly turned into spirit particles and dissipated, leaving nothing behind.

"As expected of you, Mr. Orochimaru. What kind of technique is this?" Urahara Kisuke asked curiously and surprisedly, leaning against the ruins.

At this time, the mucus on Orochimaru's body had evaporated, and he looked very refreshed. He patted his sleeves and said very calmly: "Do you want to learn the Orochimaru style injury replacement technique? If you want to learn it, you have to cooperate with me to make some physical changes first."

This technique was originally a substitution technique developed by Orochimaru, and now, it has been further improved into the 'substitution technique'.

Ordinary people cannot learn it unless they undergo physical transformation. However, Orochimaru did not undergo physical transformation. He developed it based on the ability of the Yamata no Orochi fruit and previous ninjutsu concepts.

It 'reshapes' itself in the way of a snake shedding its skin, thus recovering from all injuries.

The disadvantage is that it consumes a lot of spiritual pressure.

Orochimaru had his own tricks here, and Kurotsuchi Mayuri was no less impressive. He stuffed his intestines hanging out of his belly into his abdominal cavity, then took out a long and thin needle from his ear and stabbed it into his belly.

Then he saw that the wound that was bleeding just now began to heal at an extremely fast speed. In a blink of an eye, the injury was healed without even a scar left. If it weren't for the blood stains on the body, Saruka Hisori would have thought it was an illusion.

Urahara Kisuke watched this scene and quickly called out, "Quick, quick, give me a shot of your meat-replenishing agent as well."

Although Kurotsuchi Mayuri often bickers with Urahara Kisuke, this is actually the way they get along with each other. After so many years, they have been working together day and night to do research, so of course they have become close comrades who recognize each other.

So he didn't make things difficult for Urahara Kisuke. He just raised his hand and threw a tube of meat-replenishing agent to Urahara Kisuke.

Urahara Kisuke also injected a needle into his neck without any hesitation or doubt, and then the injury healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Although it seems that Kurotsuchi Mayuri's flesh-replenishing agent is very powerful, the side effects are also very strong. It can only be used once every six months, otherwise the body will not be able to bear it. By then, the flesh and blood will run wild and the person will turn into a monster that looks like a tumor.

Secondly, the flesh-replenishing agent contains multiple chemical spirit particles. Once injected into the body, it will cause a disorder in the control of one's own spiritual pressure and spirit particles within a week.

To put it simply, if the spiritual pressure is not pure, it will affect the performance of various sophisticated techniques such as Kidō.

If the side effects are serious, it may even affect the use of your own Zanpakutō. There is no solution, and you can only recover by gradually excreting these side effects through metabolism.

However, neither Kurotsuchi Mayuri nor Urahara Kisuke thought that anything requiring the use of force or violence would happen within a week, so there was no ambiguity in using this meat-boosting agent.

Orochimaru didn't use it because he had his own way. Although it would reduce his spiritual pressure for a period of time, it was better than taking meat-replenishing potions.

Saruaki Hisori looked at the three of them. In just a short moment, each of them displayed their magical powers and recovered completely. He was also very speechless.

Hikifune Kiryu didn't speak from the beginning. Although he was not injured, he looked a little dazed, with dull eyes and a dull look.

Until then, her pupils suddenly became lively, as if her thoughts returned to her body, and her whole person suddenly "came back to life".

Her spiritual pressure was disordered and she was weak, but she didn't mind at all. She put her hands on her hips, looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahahahahahaha, it worked, my temporary soul was successful!!!"

The huge explosion just now was caused by Hikifune Kiryu, Orochimaru and others conducting an experiment to temporarily increase their spiritual pressure!
The experimental recipient was naturally Hikifune Kiryu himself.

Orochimaru, Kurotsuchi Mayuri, and Urahara Kisuke all turned their spiritual pressure into temporary souls, which they then let Hikifune Kiryu absorb.

Because of this, Hikifune Kiryu's spiritual pressure increased to the terrifying level just now in an instant, turning into substantial destructive force, instantly penetrating the fourth underground laboratory and at the same time blew up the soul-blocking membrane above the Soul Reign.

Hikifune Kiryu is quite powerful, and his spiritual pressure is also enormous. Orochimaru, Urahara Kisuke, and Kurotsuchi Mayuri are all captains who have reached the level of Bankai. Among them, Orochimaru and Urahara Kisuke's spiritual pressure is considered to be relatively outstanding among the captains.

This injection instantly made Hikifune Kiryu's spiritual pressure reach a huge level.

But because it was the first attempt, he failed to control it well and injected too much spiritual pressure, so that Hikifune Kiryu was finally blown up, and the spiritual pressure ran wild, turning Orochimaru and the others into the horrible looks they had just had.

After laughing wildly, Hikifune Kiryu looked at Orochimaru and the others with great gratitude and said, "Thank you very much, everyone. If it weren't for you, the top talents in the industry, who have helped me to overcome difficulties over the past ten years, this technology would not have been achieved so quickly. Although the light of the temporary soul has just been born, it is destined to have a long-lasting glory. And I, Hikifune Kiryu, will never enjoy this glory alone. I have decided to release the temporary soul technology in your name!"

Orochimaru and the others accepted Hikifune Kiryu's thanks without hesitation.

After all, it took almost ten years and it did cost them a lot of energy and time.

Of course, this process is also a process of collision of ideas among these cutting-edge scientists, and everyone has benefited greatly and gained a lot.

However, when they heard Hikifune Kiryu say that this technology wanted to be released in everyone's name, Orochimaru, Urahara Kisuke, and Kurotsuchi Mayuri's originally relieved smiles suddenly froze.

Then the eyes and expressions of the three people changed!
Isn't this a joke?
The reason why we are trying so hard to help you complete this temporary soul technology as soon as possible is to send you away and quickly send you to the Ascension Team Zero to free up the captain position of the 12th Team for us.

As a result, after nearly ten years of hard work, the results are finally out. All that’s left is for Team Zero to come and inspect and take you into space, and you suddenly say you want to share it all with us.

Is this possible? If we share this, and Team Zero fails to advance, then wouldn't our efforts be in vain?

Urahara Kisuke reacted the fastest. He jumped up from the ground and said righteously, "Captain Kiryu, as colleagues and members of the Technology Development Bureau, it is our duty to help each other. But if you say that, we will be angry!"

Kurotsuchi Mayuri also sat up with a start and said, "That's right, I, Kurotsuchi Mayuri, still have some dignity. You have been researching this temporary soul technology from scratch for almost three hundred years, and we have only been involved in the last ten years. Judging from the problems we have encountered during this period, there is no doubt that with your level, you will solve them all naturally sooner or later. We just helped you speed up the process. If you say that you jointly signed this technology, aren't you mocking us for stealing your fruits?"

In fact, if Orochimaru, Urahara Kisuke, and Kurotsuchi Mayuri had not participated, Hikifune Kiryu would have to continue to struggle for at least another 150 years.

But as Kurotsuchi Mayuri said, these are just a matter of time. Technically speaking, Hikifune Kiryu can completely do it alone!
Hikifune Kiryu didn't seem to expect their reaction to be so intense. She was a little confused for a moment. Just as she was about to say something, Orochimaru patted her on the shoulder and said, "Captain Kiryu, if you really want to thank us, just treat us to a good meal. We are all top talents in the industry. We know what is ours and what is not. What's more, don't you have a dream of joining Squad Zero? We are all members of Squad 12. The reason we work together is to support your dream!"

In short, the three of them talked a lot of nonsense, such as friendship, the will of the 12th Division, and bonds, and poured a lot of nonsense into Hikifune Kirito's mind.

Hikifune Kiryu was so moved!
"Although I heard that after going to Squad Zero, you can't easily interfere in the affairs of Soul Society, but if I can really go to Squad Zero, if you need my help in the future, just let me know!!!" Hikifune Kiryu said in a sonorous voice.

While they were chattering here, Bane, Kyoraku Shunsui, Ukitake Jushiro and others also rushed over.

It's not for the purpose of being on guard or anything. After all, when Saruaki Hisori reported the situation just now, she said that it was unnecessary. So except for Ukitake Jushiro who came to do serious work, the rest of the people were just here to join in the fun.

"Hurry up, get out of the way, get out of the way, let me see what's going on? What's going on!?" Bane squeezed in with great interest and shouted.
