After a long while, Guiyan City finally heard Dongzhang's slightly hesitant voice.
"Okada Izou and Sakamoto Ryoma were the two most outstanding samurai of the previous era, but they should have both died more than 30 years ago."
Hattori Hanzo, a legendary ninja from over two hundred years ago, is known as the God of Shinobi.
"Kids who die from nausea"
Gui Yancheng was a little confused.
Suddenly, Gui Yancheng snapped out of his daze and exclaimed, "That's right, the aura emanating from those three people is indeed very similar to that of a soul, but because they are different from the Grim Reaper, I hadn't thought of that for a moment."
Oni Yanjo, who was born in Rukongai, had no reverence for any ancient human history figures. In terms of age, he was no younger than Hattori Hanzo. For a Shinigami, several decades or hundreds of years was indeed a very short time.
However, the other party's identity was truly puzzling to him.
It wasn't an ordinary wandering spirit, nor a death god, yet it was a spirit with considerable strength. What kind of being was it? After a moment's thought, he was still more concerned about the last words spoken by that person.
"Captain, what are those Thanatos and Hela he mentioned? They actually want us to change the name of Death."
Thanatos, one of the twin gods in Greek mythology, and brother of Hypnos, the god of sleep.
"Hela, the Norse goddess of death, daughter of Hephaestus and Loki, the god of lies, and queen of the underworld."
"Osiris, one of the Ennead gods in Egyptian mythology, is the king of the underworld who was deposed by his son Anubis, the god of death."
Note: First, Marvel fans shouldn't question the relationship between Hela and Loki. In orthodox mythology, Odin and Loki are sworn brothers, and Hela is not Odin's daughter. Moreover, Loki is the god of fire, so his parents are giants, not the sons of frost giants in Marvel who are afraid of high temperatures.
Secondly, there are three versions of Anubis's father in Egyptian mythology: one is the sun god Ra, another is the desert and storm god Set, and the last is the agriculture god Osiris.
Ra is the original version, Set is the popular version, and Osiris belongs to the unofficial historical version.
Osiris was chosen here because the original god of the underworld was Anubis, who helped resurrect Osiris and abdicated in his favor.
This could be interpreted as Seth atoning for his role in Osiris's death, but the book adopts the illegitimate child theory.
However, this is not important and will not affect reading; it's just a heads-up.
After hearing Dong Zhang's seemingly calm words, Gui Yancheng was stunned for a long time.
"Hey, hey, hey! Those are all fake, right? Mythical gods are just made up by humans; how could they possibly exist?"
Gui Yancheng shook his head repeatedly, his fat face twitching, clearly showing his disbelief.
However, Dongzhang vaguely sensed a hint of panic in the other person's expression.
It seems that Gui Yancheng isn't completely stupid.
"Even monsters exist, so why deny the existence of gods? Even if an individual isn't a monster or a god, they're probably connected to them to some extent."
Higashijo's seemingly casual words carried an immense amount of pressure, causing Oni Yancheng to break out in a cold sweat.
"Demons, monsters and such... it should be you, Captain, you've misjudged."
Gui Yancheng forced a smile.
Holy crap, what the hell?
Although they are "Death"
The existence of mythology is awe-inspiring to humanity, but the reality of mythology is also a thunderbolt to these gods of death.
Even if he didn't know much about human mythology, he knew that the power of the supreme gods in human mythology far surpassed that of "gods of death" like themselves.
Comparable.
Even though he wanted to say it was all fake, as long as there was even a sliver of a possibility that it was true, and the Soul Society really did come knocking on his door...
He seriously doubted whether they could defeat those "orthodox Grim Reapers."
This startled him, and his heart pounded.
"I hope so."
Take a deep look at Guiyan City, and then sigh.
Seeing Dongzhang's worried expression made Guiyan Cheng, a somewhat slow-witted fellow, even more uneasy.
"Captain, shouldn't we hurry back and report this?"
No rush.
This time, it was Joe who remained calm.
Looking at the puzzled Gui Yancheng, Dong Zhang glanced at him and said, "Whether those gods exist or not is not entirely certain. Even if they do exist, they haven't come knocking on our door for so many years. What's there to panic about?"
Besides, isn't the Spirit King also an omniscient and omnipotent god? Even if the sky falls, there's always someone taller to hold it up.”
"Right."
Oni Yanshiro Kenpachi breathed a sigh of relief.
However, he probably doesn't know that the so-called Lord Spirit King has become a human skeleton.
"Before we go back, we still need to finish what we promised Nie. We need to find a wicked monster to capture and bring back, so that he won't hold a grudge and make excuses when we need his help later."
"Then, Captain, what's your matter?"
"My matter isn't urgent. I only took this opportunity to deal with it during my free time. Let's talk about it later when we have more time."
"clear."
After saying that, the two began their search for the monster.
Despite the large number of Shinigami (death gods) stationed in the human world, none of them have been able to detect any traces of the demons. To put it bluntly, it's simply because those Shinigami aren't strong enough.
Captains and vice-captains, being Shinigami of such high status, rarely come to the human world. The major conflicts between Hueco Mundo and Soul Society are actually either Shinigami expeditions or Hueco Mundo invasions. The main battlefields that require the captains to be involved will never appear in the human world; otherwise, even if they cannot see it, humans would have already noticed something amiss.
The truly powerful Hollows need to devour even stronger souls; only low-level Hollows can target ordinary humans.
Therefore, with two captain-level combatants actively searching, discovering the monster's trail was not difficult.
This also caused Kenpachi Onigenjo to break his own preconceived notions for the first time, and he began to believe more of Aizen and the other two's words.
However, finding the evil monster is not easy in a short time.
I don't want to immediately.
Aizen, who had already stirred up trouble, had given instructions not to touch the Nura Clan's nerves again, so Joe and his companion could only target the scattered yokai in Kyoto and Tono.
With the Nura Clan's suppression, even among ordinary people, it's rare to find a yokai who has committed evil and murder.
To make things seem plausible, the first thing the two asked the first monster they encountered was about "common knowledge" about monsters.
After wasting several days, Higashi and his companion finally found their "target".
"Another one done."
The lion-man, with a sword at his waist, spoke with a savage tone, stepping over the unconscious warrior.
Sorry, I'll be updating at least six times tonight and tomorrow morning. My aunt had surgery at the hospital yesterday, and I'm in the hospital, so I'm sorry. It was something like a craniotomy; they put something in the back of her head, something really scary.
Chapter 266 Did I tell you to do it? 29/39
"It's you!"
A cry of surprise startled the Beast King.
Turning around, I saw two figures behind me, one fat and one thin. The one in the lead was dressed in a white haori, his face full of surprise and astonishment.
"Who is he?" the Beast King thought subconsciously.
That's not right.
He's only been in this world for a short time, how could he possibly know anyone here?
Upon closer inspection of the other person's attire, it seemed somewhat similar to Aizen's original appearance. The Beast King's thoughts wandered, and for a moment he completely ignored the other person.
"Captain, is this the monster you were talking about?"
Oni Yancheng Kenpachi glared at the humanoid lion a few times with his small eyes.
After a long while, unable to find anything special, Gui Yancheng shook his head dismissively and said, "This lion doesn't seem very strong."
"Not strong"
The Beast King, who was highly sensitive to his own strength, was instantly awakened, his brows furrowing.
Looking towards Ghost City, the Beast King stopped thinking and bared his fangs, snarling, "Fatty, looks like you want to become my prey too."
"Hmph, try it if you dare."
Despite his outwardly arrogant demeanor, Oni Yancheng Kenpachi, sensing a murderous aura, had already become wary.
"Ghost City"
"Leave it to me, Captain."
"No matter what, before I was defeated by you, Captain, I was Kenpachi Judai of the Eleventh Division."
Having said that, the impulsive Oni Kenpachi drew his sword and used Shunpo to quickly approach the Beast King.
Swish.
A cold glint flashed.
The Beast King grinned as he saw the dark figure approaching, a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes: "Too slow!"
The sword is drawn, the lion roars.
Oni Yancheng, who was using Shunpo (Instant Step), was forcibly stopped. Facing the cold-colored blade aimed at his neck, he felt a chill in his heart and barely managed to block the attack by switching from offense to defense.
With a loud bang, Gui Yancheng was sent flying backward, crashing through a wall.
"Ahhh, the wall is broken!"
"what happened"
What's that sound outside?
"Don't go out, little one, go to sleep."
"Wow, what is that?!"
"What lion-man? Is he a monster?!"
"No, run!"
The commotion startled many people in the night, and quite a few even peeked out to observe the situation. But when they saw the Beast King lying at their feet, their faces changed drastically and they roared in panic.
Perhaps in later generations, people's first reaction would be doubt and skepticism.
But in this age where superstition still prevails, almost everyone's first instinct is fear.
"She is indeed very strong."
Gui Yancheng, who had been smashed into the family's house, saw the panicked family, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and rushed out, but did not attract any attention.
Due to the nature of death, it is, in fact, exposed.
Besides the Beast King, the only other characters in the story are the Inhuman Warriors he defeated.
"You stinky lion, there are too many ordinary people here. If you're so capable, switch places with me!"
"They haven't lost their ability to fight yet."
The Beast King looked at the seemingly unburdened Ghost Yancheng with surprise, but glanced at the fat man a few more times.
However, the Beast King looked disdainful of the other party's words.
Having been an eccentric before, how could he possibly worry about being exposed to ordinary people?
Would it do him any harm to make a big fuss? Even Mosquito Girl dared to control mosquitoes and turn a city into a ghost town without restraint, let alone him... who is even more arrogant and domineering.
As the Beast King, second only to the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, he would not care about the fear he brought to ordinary people.
He hesitated slightly, worried about displeasing Aizen, but then challenged, "We can change the battleground, as long as you don't run away in fear."
The faces of those who had managed to maintain their composure instantly turned pale as they watched him speak, as if they had guessed something.
Seeing this, Oni Kenpachi frowned slightly and took the lead in using Shunpo to rush towards a sparsely populated and remote place.
As a qualified Grim Reaper, he was quite self-aware enough not to escalate the situation. In any case, affecting ordinary humans was definitely not something a Grim Reaper should do.
The Beast King's eyes flashed, and immediately...
I followed them.
Staying where he was, Dong Zhang scratched the back of his head, pulled out a spray bottle from his robe, and then, in a blur, sprayed it several times at all the humans who had seen the Beast King.
