Death: Captain Millennium

The tranquil Soul Society was now shrouded in a mysterious atmosphere. The originally clear moonlight seemed to have been distorted by some force. After being refracted by the remaining filthy spirit particles, it appeared to be a strange and frightening purple.

This strange purple light was like the eyes of a devil, staring coldly at this once sacred and inviolable land.

In the emergency room of the Fourth Division, a tense atmosphere permeated every corner.

Captain Unohana Retsu was concentrating on performing Huidao. Dazzling light flashed at her fingertips, and these lights were like lively streams, flowing continuously towards Lin Yu lying on the hospital bed.

In opposition to it, black and red flocs continued to spread from Lin Yu's neck. They seemed to have life, and tried to devour the returning light of Mao Nohua with its fangs and claws.

Nishizuku also felt the difficulty of this battle. The huge manta ray-shaped Zanpakutō whimpered in pain because its owner over-consumed the spiritual energy.

Looking closely, one can see that there are seven shocking bloody wounds on Roushiku's abdomen, and blood is flowing out of them, staining the surrounding ground red.

"Captain! This is bad! The reading on the dialysis machine has exceeded the critical value!"

Kotetsu Yuune's anxious voice broke the brief silence. She stared at the display screen, with beads of sweat on her forehead.

The screen displayed curves representing Lin Yu's vital signs. Those curves were no longer simple lines, but gradually took shape into a terrifying picture - a chain wrapped with sharp thorns tightly bound several beating stars, and each spike penetrated the surface of the star, determined to crush it completely.

Just when everyone's heart was in their throat, Unohana suddenly withdrew her hands, and a solemn look appeared on her beautiful face.

She stared quietly at the star mark that was slowly taking shape on the chest of the unconscious Lin Yu, as if thinking about something.

Then she turned around, picked up the pen without hesitation, and quickly wrote a complex string of encrypted runes on the medical log. She decisively issued an order: "Immediately activate Plan 72, and send someone to notify Captain Yamamoto!"

As the steady sound of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's wooden clogs echoed in the long corridor, the entire Fourth Division fell into a tense atmosphere.

At the same time, the shrill sound of sirens buzzed like a swarm of bees, breaking the original silence.

The illusory figure that Kurotsuchi Mayuri had projected into the air through special means was like a fragile piece of paper, and was quickly cut into countless tiny pieces by an invisible force.

In this last image sent back, one can clearly see that the Star and Cross badge storage room on the 30th floor underground of the Technology Development Bureau suddenly burst out with an extremely dazzling and strong light, as if to swallow up everything.

"Send the order to all squads immediately!"

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni slammed his Zanpakutō into the ground, sending sparks flying. His voice was deep and commanding, resonating like thunder in everyone's ears. "From now on, Seireitei enters a full Level 1 combat readiness state! All ongoing building restoration projects are suspended!"

Before she finished her words, Soi-Fong vanished like lightning, leaving only a blurry afterimage on the wall. She anxiously called out, "But, before the captain passed out, he specifically requested..."

Before she could finish, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni interrupted her with an angry shout, "At this moment, I am the captain-in-chief!" As his words fell, a tremendous spiritual pressure swept out in all directions like a surging wave of flames, with him as the center.

The temperature of the entire corridor rose sharply, and even the frost condensed on the wall vaporized in an instant, turning into wisps of white mist that rose up.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni slowly pressed his palm against the barrier of the emergency room. Through his slightly cloudy pupils, he could clearly see a mysterious chain gradually appearing and materializing at the heart of Lin Yu, who was lying inside.

Looking at this scene, Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni couldn't help but frown and muttered to himself, "This situation... seems to be even more difficult than I imagined..."

On the devastated ruins of Soul Society, Tetsuzaemon, leading a group of team members, is busy and orderly cleaning up the tragic battlefield left behind by the four great ancestors.

Holding various tools, they carefully cleared away the rubble and broken ice crystals scattered everywhere.

Just as Sheba Tetsuzaemon's Zanpakutō was struggling to cut through the last huge ice crystal, something unexpected happened.

The ruins that had been soaked in starlight and had lost their vitality actually began to slowly wriggle, as if they had life.

The rubble scattered on the ground seemed to be pulled by some mysterious force, automatically gathering and piling up together, gradually forming seven towering towers that soared into the clouds.

The tops of these giant towers point straight towards the distant Palace of Confession, like seven sharp arrows piercing the sky, emitting a heart-pounding aura.

"This...this is a little wrong!"

Hisagi Shuhei was horrified upon seeing this. He quickly swung the Wind Death Sword in his hand, and the sharp sword energy swept towards the strange towers like a torrential rain.

As Feng Si collided with the tower, the countless sparks that were splashed did not dissipate in the air as expected, but instead strangely intertwined and gathered in the air, eventually forming a Quincy pentagram formation shining with brilliant light.

"The situation is critical! We must notify the Technology Development Bureau immediately!"

Hisagi Shuhei shouted loudly.

Nie Yinmeng in the Technical Development Bureau of the 12th Division also noticed something unusual. The receiver she wore on her ear suddenly burst out with a series of dazzling electric sparks and crackling sounds.

Before she could figure out the situation, a figure suddenly appeared in the laboratory. It was Kenpachi Zaraki with a ferocious look on his face.

At this moment, he was tightly holding a fragment of the Star Cross badge that was gleaming with faint starlight, and pressing it hard on his bloody palm.

"Hey, Frankenstein! This damn thing is actually sucking my blood!"

Kenpachi Zaraki shouted. Upon hearing this, Mayuri Kurotsuchi, a mad scientist, quickly turned around, his gaze fixed on the constantly changing numbers on the monitor screen.

His golden pupils contracted sharply with extreme excitement, and he muttered to himself, "How interesting! It seems your spiritual pressure fluctuations are synchronizing with the residual energy fluctuations of this badge. How about I help you cut open this arm and study it carefully?"

He showed a malicious smile, picked up a scalpel with a cold glow from his side, and prepared to slash at Kenpachi Zaraki's arm.

"Get lost! I think you just want to use me as research material."

Kenpachi Zaraki pushed Mayuri Kurotsuchi away. He just didn't like beating around the bush, not that he was stupid.
