Deep entanglement of souls? Is that even possible?
Auguro was full of questions. The System explained that because Floyd had long used his Devil Fruit ability to control the other two, the latent demonic spirits residing within the three individuals' Devil Fruits had intertwined, creating the possibility of fusion. This situation was an extremely rare exception.
"Does that even need to be said! Of course, I want the higher-level reward!"
Receiving the command, the System immediately forced the three souls to fuse.
"Ding! Absorption complete! Host can redeem one Gold Legend-level lottery ticket. Redeem now?"
This result did not surprise Auguro. Floyd's Devil Fruit was already of high quality; it would be strange if the fusion of three such decent Devil Fruits couldn't redeem a Gold Legend-level ticket.
"System, draw from the Gold Legend Pool!"
The battle was over; it was the perfect time for a lottery draw to lift his spirits!
The familiar starry sky appeared, and a colossal golden star streaked toward Auguro. Auguro's heart immediately pounded with excitement. He had figured out the System's pattern: the bigger and brighter the star, the stronger the summoned character!
"This star is huge! Who could it be? Could it be the Captain-Commander?" Auguro guessed excitedly.
Boom!
The star burst, coalescing into a brilliant golden card. A man with neat brown hair covering his forehead, wearing glasses, and a gentle smile, appeared on the card.
Name: Sōsuke Aizen.
Zanpakutō: Kyōka Suigetsu (Mirror Flower Water Moon).
Spiritual Pressure (Reiatsu): Beyond Captain Level (Chō Taichō-kyū).
Position: Captain of the 5th Division.
Auguro's gaze was locked on the card.
Sōsuke Aizen!
The ultimate villain (Big Boss)!
The Beyond Captain Level Spiritual Pressure listed in the description made his blood boil!
I ask you, who else can compete now!
Auguro almost wanted to rush to the New World immediately and show the so-called Four Emperors what true power looked like!
"No, no! Don't get ahead of yourself! Who knows what final trump cards Imu and the World Government might still have!"
Auguro finally calmed his excitement and summoned Sōsuke Aizen.
The elegant figure appeared before Auguro. Before abandoning his facade, Sōsuke Aizen always maintained this amiable and approachable image, which easily won people's favor.
"Sōsuke Aizen, greeting the Lord Soul King!"
Although Aizen in the original work aimed to stand in the heavens and overthrow the Soul King, under the System's modification, Aizen's loyalty to Auguro was completely maximized.
Looking at the deeply respectful Aizen, Auguro suddenly asked.
"Sōsuke, do you wish to stand in the heavens?"
Aizen's body subtly trembled. Although his loyalty had been altered by the System, his deep-seated ideal of standing in the heavens had not been erased.
Aizen immediately bowed his head.
"The Lord Soul King is the one who stands at the apex of the heavens. How dare a subordinate presume to trespass!"
Auguro chuckled.
"My standing at the apex of the heavens does not conflict with your standing in the heavens!"
Aizen's eyes flashed, and he seemed to grasp Auguro's meaning. Auguro continued, "Your talent is rare, even among all Soul Reapers."
"If you complete the mission I assign to you, I can take you to the Soul King Palace and let you personally witness the view from the heavens!"
With such a clear incentive, if Aizen still didn't understand, he would be unworthy of his original Big Boss status.
Bowing his head deeply, Aizen said with fervent devotion.
"I will complete all missions assigned by the Lord Soul King! I will never disappoint you!"
Auguro nodded in satisfaction.
"Follow me for now. I will give you your assignment once the matters here are settled!"
"Yes!" Aizen acted like a dutiful bodyguard, respectfully following Auguro.
Capital City.
The riot was mostly suppressed. The few ministers Kalifa had rallied, although not of high rank, reacted quickly and immediately enlisted the aid of the Kingdom's most respected Left Minister. With him stepping forward to calm the populace, the situation stabilized effectively.
During this time, some attempted to seize the opportunity for profit, but under the swift, minor displays of power by Yoruichi and the others, these individuals were captured before they could cause any disturbance.
Now, everyone was gathered in the Royal Palace, discussing how to manage the chaos. The Royal Family was almost entirely wiped out. Only two great-grandchildren from a minor branch, both under three years old, remained. They didn't even bear the Furant surname. Relying on these two to govern the nation was impossible.
At this point, the few ministers Kalifa had recruited began to suggest that the Holy Spirit Empire take over the Furant Kingdom.
"The Holy Spirit Empire helped us through this great ordeal! And with the strength of the Holy Spirit Empire, they can fully protect our Kingdom from being bullied by others."
"The Lord Soul King of the Holy Spirit Empire is currently in the capital. We can petition him to take charge of the situation!"
Their proposal immediately drew fierce opposition from the ministers loyal to the former Royal Family.
"Absolutely not! The royal bloodline still survives! How can we hand the Kingdom over to an outsider! This is treason!"
The pro-Empire ministers immediately retorted.
"You speak of righteousness! But what is the reality? You planned to install an infant on the throne to seize full control of the government yourselves! You are the true thieves of the nation! Your intentions are evil!"
Two can play at this name-calling game!
The scene devolved into a fierce shouting match between the two sides.
"Have you all finished arguing?"
A cold shout, accompanied by a slight pressure of Spiritual Pressure, cut through the noise.
The red-faced, gesticulating ministers instantly quieted down, cold sweat running down their bodies. Despite their high positions, they were ordinary people. The Spiritual Pressure of a Soul Reaper was a suppressive force from another dimension entirely!
Auguro slowly walked in. He had left Sōsuke Aizen outside, as he was not yet suitable to meet outsiders.
"Lord Soul King!"
Yoruichi and the others, who had been watching, immediately bowed to Auguro. The few recruited ministers also paid their respects according to the etiquette for a foreign sovereign.
Only the few stubborn royalists continued to stare at Auguro, one shouting sternly.
"Lord Soul King! We ask you, have you come here to swallow our Furant Kingdom?"
Auguro glanced at the minister, a look of dismissive coldness on his face.
"If I say yes, what can you do about it?"
At that, the minister's face flushed crimson. It was true.
Setting aside the incredible power Yoruichi and the others had displayed, consider the state of the Furant Kingdom.
Over ninety percent of the Royal Army in the capital had been incapacitated by the princes' civil war.
While not annihilated, fewer than a hundred men remained combat-ready. If Auguro truly had intentions to conquer them, they had no means of resistance whatsoever!
