Death: Captain Millennium

"Oh! It's really miserable. Being forced to this point by a Killian, I have none of the demeanor I had in the past." Accompanied by a sigh, a man in black quietly appeared on the battlefield after the fierce battle.

"The thirty-third of the broken path! The blue fire falls."

Following the black-clad man's whisper, a blue spiritual pressure shot out like lightning, striking Killian's massive form with pinpoint accuracy. With a shrill howl, the once-rampant Killian was instantly reduced to ash by the immense force.

Then Lin Yu quickly picked up Rukia Kuchiki who was lying in the ruins. His hand glowed strangely and he reached into Rukia Kuchiki's chest without hesitation.

The gem hidden in her body that was shining with a blue-black light was easily taken out by him. He also mischievously stuffed a small bead with a similar aura to that of the broken jade into her body.

"This is the so-called Hogyoku, right? I wonder what was going on in Kisuke's mind? He actually created something like this." Lin Yu's voice was a little complicated, as if he had a deep understanding of this mysterious object.

He tightly grasped the broken jade in his hand, his eyes revealing a complex emotion, as if he was thinking about something important.

After doing all this, Lin Yu quickly removed the surrounding barriers like a ghost, and disappeared into the deep night in the blink of an eye, as if he had never appeared.

The sound of moaning rang out quietly, breaking the silence of the night sky.

After a long time, Rukia, who had been unconscious for a long time, finally woke up slowly. She struggled to open her heavy eyes and stared blankly at the shattered ruins around her.

“I didn’t die…”

She looked around with difficulty and was surprised to find that Killian had disappeared. She shook her head, trying to clear her dizzy mind and tried to recall what happened before she fell into a coma, but her mind was blank and she could not find the answer.

"It seems something terrible happened when I passed out. Who saved me?"

At this time, Urahara Kisuke, who was not far away, was quietly looking at Rukia standing on the ruins, and did not act rashly.

He had been closely following Rukia's every move ever since she came to the human world. However, tonight's incident happened too suddenly. When he arrived at the scene, he only saw Rukia who was unconscious.

Urahara Kisuke didn't know what happened, nor who killed the Killian. Therefore, he chose to wait quietly until she woke up.

Urahara Kisuke sensed the remaining spiritual pressure at the scene, trying to find clues from these faint auras. He quickly compared the person he matched with in his mind, but he still couldn't determine who it was.

He even deliberately compared Lin Yu's spiritual pressure with the remaining spiritual pressure at the scene, but still found no clues, which made him very puzzled.

Urahara Kisuke then used a special method to sense the aura of the Hogyoku within Rukia. When he confirmed that the Hogyoku was still safely within Rukia, he breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that the Hogyoku was vital to the entire world, and if anything were to happen to it, the consequences would be disastrous.

Since the Hogyoku was fine, Urahara Kisuke didn't plan to stay any longer. He knew it wasn't a good place to stay for long, lest he cause more trouble. So, he quickly left the scene, disappearing into the darkness. Rukia was left alone in the ruins, quietly sorting out the details of the incident.

Rukia checked her condition, a look of bitterness on her face. "My spiritual pressure is severely overdrawn. I hope I don't encounter another Hollow, otherwise I really won't be able to deal with it."

After saying that, she jumped onto the only remaining electric pole in the ruins and observed the situation around her.

Unfortunately, she spotted the Xu again, but luckily there was only one.

She didn't dare to delay and immediately rushed towards the direction of the Hollow. Not long after, he rushed into Kurosaki Ichigo's bedroom and looked around.

Ichigo had already noticed the previous battle, but he was powerless to do anything but bury his head deep in the quilt and force himself to sleep.

He was very confused by Rukia's sudden intrusion. He stared blankly at the girl wearing the same style of clothes as his mother walking back and forth in his room. For some reason, he subconsciously gave Rukia a slap on the head.

"Who are you? Don't you know that it is illegal to break into someone else's home?" Ichigo scolded Rukia loudly.

"It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!"

Rukia held her head in her hands, a look of pain on her face. She immediately realized something was very wrong. The boy in front of her could not only see her, but also hurt her. Even more terrifying, this boy looked 80% similar to the late Vice Captain Shiba Kaiyan, except for the different hair color.

Rukia's eyes widened. She couldn't believe what was happening before her eyes. She looked at Ichigo Kurosaki carefully, her heart filled with confusion and shock.

"Who are you? Why can you see me? Also, why do you look so much like Vice Captain Shiba Kaiyan?" Rukia asked questions in rapid succession.

Ichigo Kurosaki was a little confused by Rukia's series of questions. He scratched his hair and said helplessly: "My name is Ichigo Kurosaki, an ordinary high school student. As for why I can see you... I don't know!"

Rukia still didn't believe it, so she decided to test Ichigo. She stretched out her finger and gently touched Ichigo's forehead, releasing a stream of spiritual energy. However, Ichigo felt nothing, which surprised Rukia even more.

Ichigo Kurosaki felt an inexplicable tap on the forehead, and he was about to punch Rukia again.

Rukia watched Ichigo's movements. "One of the Binding Techniques! Seal."

Ichigo Kurosaki felt as if his hands and feet were instantly tied up by an unknown force, and he fell to the ground with an unstable center of balance.

"You have no spiritual power?" Rukia exclaimed after some investigation.

Ichigo Kurosaki was completely bewildered. He had no idea what Rukia was talking about. Just then, a low growl came from the window, and the Hollow appeared on the street. Rukia's heart tightened, and she turned to go out and fight.

"Hey! What did you do to me? Don't leave!" Ichigo Kurosaki twisted his body on the floor and shouted at Rukia.

Rukia looked back at Ichigo Kurosaki and said, "Don't move. I'll untie you when I come back." After that, she quickly rushed out of the room and started fighting with the Hollow.

Kurosaki Ichigo struggled to get up from the ground. He looked at Rukia outside the window, and a strange feeling welled up in his heart. He decided to help, even though he didn't know if he could do it.

He struggled to break free, ran outside, picked up a wooden stick, and rushed towards the hollow. Rukia saw what Kurosaki Ichigo did and shouted in surprise: "Go away! You can't beat it!"

But Kurosaki Ichigo did not retreat. He swung the stick with all his might and smashed it at the Hollow. However, the Hollow easily dodged his attack and let out a roar.

Just as the Hollow was about to attack, Rukia stood in front of Ichigo Kurosaki and used her Kidō skills to push the Hollow back a few steps.

She rushed towards the Hollow waving her Zanpakuto, but because her spiritual pressure was severely overdrawn, several slashes did not cause any damage to the Hollow. Now she could not even deal with this ordinary Hollow.

Ichigo Kurosaki was stunned. He looked at Rukia's exhausted figure, his heart filled with gratitude and admiration. "Why did you save me?" he asked.

Rukia gasped and smiled, "I was just doing my duty...protecting ordinary people from Hollows."

At this moment, the Hollow attacked Rukia again. Kurosaki Ichigo rushed forward without hesitation and blocked the Hollow's attack with his stick.

"Go!" Rukia shouted.

But Kurosaki Ichigo shook his head and said with a firm look in his eyes: "I won't abandon you!"

Rukia's heart was in an extreme struggle, her eyes moving back and forth between Kurosaki Ichigo and the Hollow in front of her. In the end, she made a decision that would run through the entire storyline.

"The Hollow is not something that ordinary humans like you can deal with easily. If you really want to defeat it, there is only one last method left." Rukia said in a firm tone.

"What's that method?" Ichigo Kurosaki asked anxiously with his eyes wide open.

"That is to turn you into a real god of death!" Rukia answered without hesitation.

"Then come on! Remember, my name is Ichigo Kurosaki!" A determination flashed in Ichigo Kurosaki's eyes, and he held Rukia's hand tightly.

At this moment, Rukia suddenly raised the Zanpakuto in her hand and stabbed it towards Ichigo Kurosaki's body. Ichigo Kurosaki stared at this scene with his eyes wide open in disbelief, but he did not retreat, but held Rukia's hand tightly.

In an instant, a powerful force erupted in Ichigo Kurosaki's body, and he felt as if he was enveloped by a mysterious power.

Ichigo Kurosaki's body gradually emitted a strange light, and his clothes began to change. He wore the same standard Shinigami uniform as the God of Death, and held a huge Zanpakutō in his hand.

Rukia looked at Ichigo Kurosaki in surprise. She had originally only wanted to share half of her remaining spiritual pressure with him, but all the spiritual pressure in her body was drained out uncontrollably. She was also stunned by the exaggerated shape of the Zanpakuto in Ichigo's hand.

As the light gradually dissipated, Ichigo Kurosaki opened his eyes and felt himself filled with power.

"Feel your new power, Kurosaki Ichigo," Rukia said, breathing heavily.

Ichigo Kurosaki gripped the machete tightly and swung it forward. A sharp aura instantly gushed out, knocking the hollow away.

"It worked..." Rukia said softly, her eyes sparkling with joy.

At this moment, Ichigo Kurosaki officially became a god of death. He excitedly waved the machete in his hand and shouted, "I will kill you monster!" Then he ran towards the hollow.

When the Hollow pounced, Ichigo Kurosaki was not afraid. He swung his sword, and the powerful force instantly cut the Hollow in half, turning it into ashes.

After completing all this, Kurosaki Ichigo turned around triumphantly, and was about to show off his heroic performance to the female Shinigami, but found that she had disappeared without a trace.

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window into the Kurosaki family's living room. Kurosaki Isshin looked at the huge hole in the wall and said to Yuuko, Karin, and Ichigo with a smile, "A bus crashed into our house last night. Luckily, no one was hurt."

Hearing this, Ichigo Kurosaki couldn't help but grin, secretly admiring the Shinigami's excellent post-processing work. What was supposed to be a Hollow attack had now been mistaken by ordinary people as a truck impact.

Even the ruins in the distance last night made people subconsciously think that it was caused by demolition. But who would do demolition in the middle of the night? Thinking of this, Ichigo Kurosaki couldn't help laughing.

Kurosaki Isshin looked at Ichigo's silly grin and couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "Ichigo, what are you grinning about? Hurry up and go to school, or you will be late!"

Ichigo came to his senses and realized that it was getting late. He quickly grabbed a few pieces of bread and stuffed them into his mouth, then grabbed his school bag and ran out.

"Fortunately, I caught up!"

Ichigo rushed out of the house panting, just in time to see the school bus door closing. He rushed on the bus, found his seat and sat down, and began to think about what happened last night.

When he walked into the classroom, he had a look of astonishment on his face, his mouth hanging open, because he actually saw the female Death God he met last night.

"you!……"

Inoue Orihime looked at Ichigo's surprised expression and asked in confusion, "Ichigo, what's wrong? This is the new transfer student, Kuchiki Rukia. Did you know each other before?"

Ichigo was about to explain things to Orihime and Chad, but he saw Rukia suddenly take out a piece of paper and hand it to him, with the words "I will kill you if you dare to say anything" written on it.

Ichigo shut his mouth wisely, and sighed in his heart that the ability of the God of Death was too outrageous, and could actually affect the consciousness of ordinary people.

Ichigo nervously took the note and looked at Rukia, only to see her staring back at him expressionlessly. Just then, the bell rang and the teacher walked into the classroom.

"Classmates, there is a new student joining our class today. Welcome everyone," said the teacher.

The students applauded, and Ichigo followed suit, his gaze fixed on Rukia. He wondered what this Shinigami's purpose was in coming to the school. Was it to spy on him? Or was there some other mission?

The teacher looked at the only empty seat in the classroom, then turned to look at Rukia Kuchiki: "Kuchiki-san, please sit in the empty seat next to Kurosaki-san." Rukia Kuchiki nodded, walked to her seat and sat down.

Ichigo Kurosaki looked at Rukia Kuchiki curiously and asked, "Hasn't that Hollow been destroyed? Why haven't you returned yet?"

Kuchiki Rukia raised her head and looked at Kurosaki Ichigo: "Are you talking about going back to Soul Society?"

Ichigo Kurosaki frowned in confusion, "Soul Society? What is that place?"

Kuchiki Rukia sighed softly and explained to Ichigo, "Soul Society is the world where the gods of death reside. I had been planning to go back, but you drained all my spiritual energy last night. Now I have no power to open the gate and go back. I have no choice but to recuperate in the human world for a while until my spiritual pressure recovers."

Ichigo nodded in understanding, but then asked, "Then why are you here? Do all of you Shinigami come to manifest in the world?"

Kuchiki Rukia replied, "Sometimes we come to the human world to perform missions, such as purifying Hollows or protecting humans. However, we usually do not interfere with the lives of the human world and only appear when necessary. This time, I came to the human world for a routine stationed mission."

Ichigo asked curiously, "What is a Hollow?"

Rukia Kuchiki patiently explained, "Hollows are evil souls that feed on other souls. If they are not eliminated in time, they will pose a threat to humans. Therefore, one of our duties as Shinigami is to protect humans from the harm of Hollows."

Ichigo nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, then as if remembering something, he asked, "Then can you teach me how to use spiritual power? Now that I have this power, I want to learn how to use it, and I have some other questions I want to ask you."

Kuchiki Rukia smiled and said, "Of course you can, as long as you are willing to learn. But it will take some time and effort. And now that I have lost my power, the task of destroying the Hollows will be yours for the time being."

At this moment, the teacher suddenly knocked on the blackboard and said seriously: "It's class time now, please stop talking." The two of them quickly shut up and stopped talking.
