Spirit King's Direct Special Squad

Chapter 342 Spirit King's Direct Special Squad

This dismissive attitude caused the usually serious and upright Komamura Sajin to frown deeply.

But seeing that the new captain, Kyoraku Shunsui, hadn't reacted, he suppressed his urge to reprimand him.

"The Spirit King Palace is already aware of the power you displayed at Twin Peaks Hill, as well as the grudges you bear."

Kiryu did not reprimand Asuka for her rudeness, as if he had already anticipated this situation.

"By order of King Ling."

"In recognition of your bravery and to maintain the long-term balance of the three realms, you are hereby granted the position of [Direct Subordinate of the Spirit King - Agent of Death]."

"From this day forward, you are permitted to freely enter and exit the Spiritual Court and the human world as a special squad member, without being bound by the usual spiritual pressure restrictions."

"The Shinigami members stationed in the present world can assist you in emergencies. However, you need to report the reason to the Zero Division using the [Agent Certificate] given to you by the monk with the real name."

After speaking, Kiryu tossed a Shinigami Substitute Certificate radiating golden spiritual light to Asuka, watching him reach out and catch it.

Substitute Grim Reaper? Special Operations Squad?

The team leaders exchanged glances and glances.

Like the relentless beauty of Unohana, Jushiro Ukitake nodded gently to Asuka, seemingly congratulating him on his newfound status.

Many others, such as Byakuya and Soi Fon, including Kensei Muguruma who is about to return, don't care at all, feeling that it has nothing to do with them.

The most regrettable one here is probably Hirako Shinji.

I felt a little disappointed that the vice-captain I had chosen was gone.

The lack of reaction from the crowd stemmed from the fact that the concept of a substitute Shinigami was not unprecedented in the history of Soul Society.

Captain Jushiro Ukitake of the 13th Division once granted the qualification of Substitute Shinigami to the human Ginjo Kugo in the name of the 13th Division.

Moreover, according to Ukitake's original plan, after the invasion incident was quelled and Rukia's innocence was cleared.

He also plans to use the same method to legalize Ichigo Kurosaki's identity.

In other words, he was granted the qualification of a substitute for the Grim Reaper, as a way of repaying the young man for saving his subordinates.

However, Ukitake Jushiro's actions were at most a special case handled by the Gotei 13, or even just a unilateral action by the 13th Division.

However, the appointment of Asuka was made directly by an imperial edict from the Spirit King Palace.

The former was just a temporary worker who could be held accountable by the 46th Division at any time.

The latter, however, was able to mobilize the Death God team members and report the mission directly to the Spirit King Palace.

It's more like a legitimate, even somewhat comparable, "Imperial Envoy" to Captain Death.

"...This is the first time I've seen anything like this." Even the well-informed Kisuke Urahara couldn't help but show surprise in his eyes.

However, he knew that the Zero Division's decision represented the Soul King's will and was beyond question, so he could only suppress his doubts.

As for Asuka, the person directly involved, she felt no joy upon hearing of this unusual appointment.

Instead, his brows furrowed into a deep frown, and his eyes were full of doubt.

"Substitute Shinigami?" Asuka straightened up and looked at Kiryu Hikifune, who was sitting in the high seat. "What is that? I don't understand your fancy vocabulary."

Kiryu, like a tolerant teacher facing a naughty student, patiently explained: "The so-called Substitute Shinigami, simply put, means that you have obtained official recognition from the Soul Society."

"From now on, you may legally exercise the powers of the Grim Reaper in the mortal world, including but not limited to slaying those wandering evil voids and performing soul burial rites for lost souls, etc."

"Furthermore, with this identity, if you encounter unsolvable troubles in the mortal world, you can request combat support from the Soul Court at any time."

As if thinking of something interesting, Kiryuu pointed at Asuka and chuckled, "You can also use the portal legitimately, without having to be stuffed into a special dark cavity and fall in so pathetically like this time."

"As for your compensation, the Soul Society will pay you as a captain's salary, but since you don't have an account here, it will be put into the account of the Butterfly Seat for now."

"As for your daily life, just live like an ordinary person. Just remember to report your recent situation to the Zero Division from time to time using your Substitute Shinigami Certificate."

As the captains present listened to the generous benefits listed by Dianzhou Tongsheng, they were all secretly astonished.

This privilege is even more liberating than some official captains.

But the more Asuka listened, the uglier her expression became.

"Can I not do it?"

"Huh?" Hirako Shinji, standing to the side, picked at his ear, thinking he had misheard.

"...I don't understand what you're all up to." Asuka's voice was distant and wary: "I'm not interested in protecting the Three Realms. The safety of the Soul Society is none of my business."

"It sounds more like they're planning to keep me under constant surveillance."

Asuka's idea is actually very simple.

Such a "good" job couldn't have been given to me for no reason, could it? I felt there was something fishy about it.

It's possible they'll use the same hypocritical tactics as Aizen, waiting for me to lower my guard before suddenly wiping me out along with Shinobu and the otherworldly visitors...

After what happened in the Grass Deer District, he even suspected that the being that the old man feared so much might be the lofty Spirit King Palace.

In short, he didn't want to take the job not because he thought it was too troublesome, but simply because he was worried about the potential dangers.

"Hey boy! You've got quite the temper!"

At this moment, the Western God General, Nimaiya Oetsu, who had been daydreaming while manicuring his nails, suddenly spoke up.

He stopped what he was doing and pushed his sunglasses down: "Do you think we're discussing this with you, Boy?"

'

"You just said that none of this has anything to do with you?"

"You're right. It's precisely because you have no connection to Soul Society that we need to create one for you."

Wang Yue raised her hand and pointed at the bird: "These past few days, the monk and I have reviewed your soul records..."

""

"As expected, the result was a blank page."

"There is no record of your birth, death, or even reincarnation."

"In other words, in the laws of Soul Society, you are like a ghost created out of thin air, an abrupt existence that should not exist in these three worlds."

His words surprised many people who were curious about the mysterious swordsman Asuka.

Even if it's a phantom, its soul was originally transformed from a human soul, so it will inevitably leave traces...

Feiniao looked at Wang Yue in silence, having nothing to say.

Because he truly didn't know where he came from.

"A powerful soul, yet without any record, unbound by laws and morality."

"Boy, if you were in our position, would you allow such a being to roam freely throughout the Three Realms?"

"That's a really unsettling thing, oh!"

Wang Yue's words revealed the mystery of the Spirit King Palace's bestowal of grace.

The Substitute for Death is an identity badge that must be worn at all times.

Once Asuka accepts, his spiritual pressure fluctuations and movements will be legitimately included in the Soul Society's monitoring system.

This is indeed a shackle.

But this may be the Spirit King Palace's choice to lean towards goodness on the scales of morality.

Perhaps it was truly the will of the Spirit King that led them to give Asuka this opportunity.

In short, if you don't accept...

Although Wang Yue didn't say it explicitly, every Death God present understood.

What awaits the birds is only an endless cage.
