Death: Captain Millennium

"Teacher, is there really no other way?"

Rukia felt even more guilty. Even Lin Yu was helpless, so Renci's Zanpakuto was really hopeless.

Lin Yu shook his head. He sighed inwardly, realizing he was truly helpless against this thorny situation. At this point, his only hope of repairing Renci's sword was to seek the aid of Wang Yue from the Second House of the Spiritual King's Palace.

"Rukia, please go to the Technology Development Bureau first and retrieve Renji's sword so I can take a closer look."

As Lin Yu spoke, he used his eyes to signal Rukia to leave. In fact, his move had a deeper meaning, because what he was about to say was not yet time for Rukia to know.

Hearing that Lin Yu was willing to personally help repair Renci's sword, Rukia's eyes flashed with surprise. Regardless of whether or not the sword could be successfully repaired, at least there was a glimmer of hope. So, she nodded without hesitation, turned around, and rushed towards the Technology Development Bureau.

"You want to..."

Captain Yamamoto remained silent, but when he heard Lin Yu's words, he understood a little. He raised his head slightly and looked at the distant sky, as if thinking about something.

The captain did not say everything because some things did not need to be said, and they all knew it. Lin Yu must have set his sights on the Spirit King Palace.

"That's right! He's the only one who can repair a broken sword after using Bankai."

"You can't get there without that thing."

"Who says that's the only thing you need?"

Lin Yu and Captain Yamamoto seemed to be playing a game of charades. Even if other people came, they wouldn't know what they were talking about.

The thing being mentioned is undoubtedly the King's Key; and that place is the legendary Palace of the Spirit King.

Between the Soul King Palace and the Seireitei lies a staggering seventy-two impenetrable spiritual walls. To date, no one has ever managed to breach these barriers and reach the Soul King Palace on their own. To achieve this, one must rely on the power of the King Key.

The so-called King Key is actually made from the bones of the members of Squad Zero. Because these members of Squad Zero have been fortunate enough to gain the Soul King's approval and shoulder the sacred mission of protecting him, they naturally possess the privilege of freely entering and leaving the Soul King's Palace.

In this way, if one wants to successfully enter the Soul King Palace, in addition to relying on the King's Key, there seems to be another feasible way, which is to find a way to get in touch with the people of Squad Zero and use their will to enter the Soul King Palace.

"Could it be that... you actually intend to force your way in by yourself?"

Captain Yamamoto stared at Lin Yu with wide eyes, looking at him in astonishment. It was obvious that he had misinterpreted the true meaning of Lin Yu's words, mistakenly thinking that Lin Yu was trying to forcibly open a passage to the Spirit King Palace with his own brute force.

Although it is difficult to determine whether Lin Yu really has such earth-shaking strength, based on his usual behavior, it is not completely impossible for him to take such a crazy action.

"Master Shan, what are you thinking? I may be strong, but I'm not so reckless. If I rely on my strength to force my way into the Spirit King's Palace, I'll be skinned alive!"

How could Lin Yu possibly be the type to seek abuse? Putting aside other things, just the perverts in Squad Zero were definitely not to be trifled with. If he were to drag his half-dead body into battle with them, it would be tantamount to courting death. He probably wouldn't even have a chance to say goodbye.

"From this perspective, do you really have the ability to open a passage between Seireitei and the Soul King Palace on your own?"

Captain Yamamoto narrowed his eyes and looked up and down at Lin Yu in front of him, and he already had a rough estimate of his strength in his mind.

After all, this guy dared to make such a bold statement, which means he must be absolutely sure that he can complete this task safely.

Those remarks like even if he didn't die, he would still lose a layer of skin, were pure bullshit. With Captain Yamamoto's understanding of Lin Yu, he naturally knew what kind of character he was.

In fact, Captain Yamamoto really misjudged Lin Yu this time. If he really possessed such a powerful strength, he would have pulled that abominable Yhwach out of the shadows of Soul Society without a word and beat him up.

Thousands of years ago, Yhwach had tricked him, leaving him lying dead for hundreds of years. Lin Yu had always remembered this, and he was a man who would never let go of his grudges!

But this cannot be blamed on the captain. It's because Lin Yu's words and deeds are not very reliable, and he talks nonsense all the time. Who can know his true thoughts?

"Could it be that you actually have some connection with them, and were even able to use their will to successfully enter the Soul King Palace? However, as far as I know, the only person you have any connection with is Hikifune Kiryu. So how did you get in touch with her?"

Captain Yamamoto had a look of suspicion on his face, his eyes fixed on Lin Yu in front of him, and he thought to himself: Could it be that when Hikifune Kiryu was promoted to Squad Zero, he left this kid some unknown objects or secret passages?

"I never considered relying on Squad Zero's will to reach the Soul King Palace, and Hikifune didn't leave me any items or methods to contact her."

Facing the questioning from Captain Yamamoto, Lin Yu remained calm and responded calmly.

"In that case, do you still intend to force your way into the Spirit King's Palace?"

Hearing this answer, Captain Yamamoto couldn't help but frown.

"Yes, I am indeed prepared to force my way into the Spirit King's Palace, but I won't rely solely on my own strength. Master Shan, you should know this method."

"You want to use the power of the Shiba family?"

"Yes, the Shiba family possesses the technology to access the Soul King Palace. I thought you had forgotten about it, Master San."

"Boy, do you think I'm stupid? How could I forget something like this? It's just that the squadron's affairs are complicated and I didn't think of it at the moment."

Captain Yamamoto coughed a few times to cover up the embarrassment of forgetting this matter.

"Ah! Yes, yes, yes."

Well! Anyway, Shan Ye is the captain, he can say whatever he wants, and Lin Yu can't go against him.

"It's a serious crime to trespass into the Spirit King's Palace. Have you made up your mind?"

The captain was not worried at all that Lin Yu would be killed by those people from Squad Zero, nor was he worried about whether he could ask Wang Yue to take action, so he picked a topic that was not too serious to ease the atmosphere.

Under Lin Yu's influence, the captain's personality also changed. He became less rigid and his way of doing things changed a lot. Sometimes he would handle some things that violated the rules flexibly. If Lin Yu dared to say such outrageous words in the original plot, he would have been arrested and sent to hell.

Unconsciously, Lin Yu slowly influenced everyone around him. Even he himself did not notice this change and felt that it was supposed to be this way!
