[If one day, you finally have nothing to believe in, you might as well try to believe in the sword in my hand. γ

With Ishida's statement, Ichigo Kurosaki gradually calmed down.
Ishida Yuryu's master, that is, his grandfather Ishida Sogen, died when Ishida Yuryu was very young, and the cause of death was being attacked by the void. No matter how Ishida Sostring asked before, the Grim Reaper did not allow the Exterminator to destroy the void.
"Meddle in our affairs is not allowed" is what it says.
So, Ishida Sogen fought for two hours, and when he finally fell, death was too late......
"I hate the Grim Reaper, Kurosaki," Ishida Uryu said calmly, "That's why I must prove the power of the Exterminator in front of the Grim Reaper!" β
However, at this moment, a huge crack suddenly appeared in the sky, and in the stunned eyes of everyone, a huge figure slowly stepped out of it.
"That's ......" It's the first time Ichigo Kurosaki has seen such a huge void, and his eyes widen for a while.
"Killian."
Suddenly, a voice sounded, and the two of them looked at each other, only to see a tall and thin grim reaper standing not far away, looking at the two of them with a flat gaze.
"This is the Lower Void, Killian."
"Who are you?"
Faced with the sudden appearance of a strange death, Ichigo Kurosaki did not let down his guard.
"Who am I?" Suddenly, the voice of the Grim Reaper rang in his ears, and Ichigo Kurosaki turned his head in shock to find that the other party had come to his side at a speed that he hadn't seen at all, "What an interesting question." β
"I know you, Ichigo Kurosaki, though."
"Forget it, let's introduce myself," I saw him smile slightly, and reported his name, "My name is true, as you can see, I am a god of death, and at the same time ......"
"I'm still Rukia's brother."
Hearing this, Kurosaki Ichigo's eyes suddenly widened.
γRukia's ...... Brother? γ
"Do you know, Kurosaki-kun, according to the rules of the Corpse Soul Realm, the god of death is not allowed to give power to humans privately," really looked at Ichigo Kurosaki in front of him, and said lightly, "And in order to save you, Rukia had to give you the power of the god of death......"
"That's a big sin, Kurosaki-kun."
"Once Rukia's behavior is discovered by the Corpse Soul Realm, I am afraid that what awaits her will be a very terrible punishment......"
"Wait!"
Suddenly, Ichigo Kurosaki interrupted the real words.
"Huh?"
"Why can you talk so plainly about Rukia's punishment," Kurosaki Ichigo asked, looking into Mako's eyes, "If you're really her brother, shouldn't you be anxious about it?" β
It seems that he heard something funny, and he can't help but laugh.
"Yes, Kurosaki-kun, that's what you think," said Mako, smiling, "Well, it's true that it's probably supposed to be like that, but you're wrong, and I don't worry about this kind of thing at all." β
"'This kind of thing'?" Ichigo Kurosaki repeated the true words and looked at him in disbelief, "You guy...... Didn't Rukia's comfort be taken into account at all? β
"Ichigo!"
At this time, Rukia's voice came from not far away, and Kurosaki Ichigo heard the voice, only to see Rukia running towards this side.
"Rukia ......" Kurosaki Ichigo suddenly thought of something, his pupils shrank, and he shouted at Rukia, "Don't come here, Rukia!" β
But obviously, Kurosaki Ichigo's words were a little late, and at this time, Rukia had already come to Kurosaki Ichigo's side, and it wasn't until she got close to this distance that Rukia suddenly discovered that it really existed.
"Brother...... Elder brother? Rukia was shocked, took a few steps back, and even fell to the ground.
"Rukia?" Kurosaki Ichigo hurriedly ran over and blocked in front of Rukia, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
[This guy, why does it make Rukia look so scared......]
"Stand up, Rukia," Mama said calmly, walking towards the two of them, "Now that you see me, aren't you going to say something?" β
"Ichigo...... Run," Rukia struggled to her feet, although she was still a little scared, and said to Ichigo Kurosaki in a trembling tone, "Brother won't do anything to me, but you'll be killed by him, Ichigo, so, run!" β
"What are you talking about, Rukia, let me leave you and run by myself, how can I do this!" However, Kurosaki Ichigo did not leave there, but raised the sword in his hand and firmly blocked Rukia's side.

"Don't get me wrong, Kurosaki-kun, I won't hurt Rukia," at this time, Shin had already walked in front of Kurosaki Ichigo and stopped, "Okay, in order for you to understand, I'll explain it briefly." β
"As I said just now, the Corpse Soul Realm does not allow the Grim Reaper to give power to humans without permission, but Rukia has given her power to you, and if her behavior is discovered by the Corpse Soul Realm, then Rukia will receive a serious punishment."
"Actually, I knew about it as early as the night when Rukia gave you the power," Maya gently put his hand on Kurosaki Ichigo's knife and slowly exerted force, "In order to hide this matter for Rukia, I wasted a lot of hands and feet on the corpse soul realm, thinking that when Rukia's death power recovered, I would not leave a flaw, but just now, I ......"
"You used the spirit bait to attract a large number of voids to the present world, and a large number of voids gathered here have already attracted the attention of the corpse soul realm."
"If that's all there is to it, then I still have a way to hide it, but the appearance of this thing has made all my concealments meaningless," Speaking of this, Zhen Yao stretched out his hand and pointed to the huge and incomparably void not far away, "This kind of void, called Killian, is different from the ordinary void of the 'great void', although it is only the lowest level of the great void, but this kind of thing is not something that ordinary deaths can solve." β
"The Great Void generally does not appear in the present world, and once it appears, it will attract great attention from the Corpse Soul Realm......
"Speaking of which, you should understand, Kurosaki-kun," Shin narrowed his eyes, the power in his hand continued to increase, and finally, he actually pinched Kurosaki Ichigo's slashing knife directly, "Now all I can do is kill you, and then find a way to restore Rukia's power to the god of death." β
"You just asked me why I'm not in a hurry as Rukia's brother?"
"That's because I don't need to be in a hurry, after all, you're standing in front of me."
Speaking of this, he really looked at Ichigo Kurosaki, who had fallen into shock, and smiled slightly.
"If you really want to protect Rukia, then give your life......
"Brother!"
Suddenly, Rukia pushed away Ichigo Kurosaki, who was standing in front of him, and walked in front of him.
"Rukia......" Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes soothed, and he looked at her softly, "Don't worry, Rukia, my brother will solve the ......"
"Please don't do that, brother!" Rukia interrupted the truth, and he was slightly stunned, his gaze still soft.
"May I hear your reasoning, Rukia?"
"I ...... I'll go back to the Corpse Soul Realm with my brother, hoping that my brother will spare Ichigo......" Rukia looked up at her brother with pleading in her eyes.
I was slightly stunned.
Rukia ...... Do you know what you're talking about? β
"Yes, I've decided, brother." Rukia said earnestly, and at the same time walked up lightly and hugged Ma.
ββ¦β¦ I know. She sighed softly and reached out to rub Rukia's head.
"Roar!" Suddenly, Kiri, who had just stood there for a long time without any movement, moved, only to see it open its mouth, and a huge red energy ball was condensed in its mouth, and the frenzied spiritual pressure in it made Kurosaki Ichigo, Ishida Yuryu and others widen their eyes.
At this time, the void flash had already condensed, and the red pillar of light burst towards everyone, and Ishida Yuryu shot a few arrows towards the pillar of light, but it was like a mud cow entering the sea, and it failed to play any role.
Kurosaki Ichigo looked at the broken knife in his hand that was pinched by Ma, gritted his teeth, and was still ready to rush up to block the virtual flash.
"Don't be noisy."
Suddenly, the whole world seemed to be quiet for a moment, and a dazzling sword light lit up, directly pushing back the red pillar of light formed by the void flash, and landed on Killian's body, directly splitting it in two.

Everyone's eyes were on Zhen at this time, although it seemed that Zhen had done nothing, but everyone knew that the scene in front of him must have been caused by him.
[When did you draw the knife...... No, I didn't even see the action of retracting the knife at all......]
Is the gap really that big......
Ichigo Kurosaki was at a loss.
"I can take you back, or I can spare Kurosaki-kun from dying, but there is one thing, Rukia, I have to do it," Shin gently pushed Rukia's arms away, put her right hand on the hilt of the sword slasher, and walked towards Kurosaki Ichigo, "I want to break his 'knot' and 'soul sleep' and make him lose the power of death." β
Hearing this, Rukia opened her mouth, but she still couldn't say anything to stop it, she knew that she was actually very embarrassed by her brother...... If she still wants to make a request, even if she really agrees, she really can't open her mouth.
Therefore, all she can do now is comfort Kurosaki Ichigo.
"Ichigo...... Don't worry, just break your knot and sleep in the two places, you won't die, you just lose the power of death...... Please, don't rebel against my brother......" Rukia said with some confusion.
She can't do anything now......
This sense of powerlessness, at this moment, finally stimulated her deeply.
"Rukia ......" Kurosaki Ichigo looked at Rukia who didn't dare to look at him with her head down, and her heart was very complicated.
"It's over." At this moment, the real voice sounded behind Kurosaki Ichigo, and he hurriedly looked back, but as soon as his body moved, two blood sprays splattered from his body, and he suddenly fell to his knees weakly, his eyes wide.
[Fundamental...... Invisible ......]
"Yes, let's go...... Brother," Rukia nodded lightly and turned away, "Back to the Corpse Soul Realm." β
"Wait, wait, Rukia!" Ichigo Kurosaki raised his head, "You're going to be punished, aren't you......"
"That's no way, so Ichigo," Hearing Kurosaki Ichigo's worried words, Rukia turned her head to look at him, her eyes flashing with reluctance, "Farewell, Ichigo......"
At this time, Shin stretched out his right hand, and out of thin air, a portal appeared in front of everyone.
"Wait, Rukia......" Ichigo Kurosaki struggled to his feet and staggered forward, his eyes full of determination, "No matter what, I'm going to protect you!" β
"I can't do it, Ichigo, it's not just you, no one can resist the rules," Rukia didn't look back, still walking towards the door, "The reason why the rules are rules is precisely to restrain people like me, and they are ......"
With that, Rukia had already stepped into the portal, and she was really standing beside her, quietly watching all this.
When the door closed, he asked softly, "Looks like you're getting along well." β
"No, I'm sorry, I bothered my brother......"
"It's nothing, as long as I can see you happy, my brother will be relieved," Zhen stretched out his hand, took Rukia in his arms, and said softly, "Don't worry, no matter what the verdict of Room 46 is, brother, there is a way to deal with it." β
"At that time, everything will be fine."
Rukia lay in her arms and slowly closed her eyes.
"Yes, I've always believed in my brother."
β¦β¦
The next day, the entire Jingling Court exploded because of a piece of news.
"Is there a god of death who has secretly given power to humans?" In the team building of the eighth team, Jingle Chunshui, who was drinking, was slightly stunned.
"This is an unforgivable crime...... I wonder what the judgment of Room 46 will be? Uno Hanari, who was treating the injured, raised his head slightly, his face a little worried.
"Oh? It's a lot of fun. In the third team, after Ichimaru Silver heard the news, his face did not change at all, but he just said a strange word.
Just in the attention of the Quanjing Spiritual Court, soon, the verdict of Room 46 came out:
"Rukia, the third of the thirteenth team, committed an unforgivable crime by giving her power to mankind without permission, so she was arrested and given the 'double punishment' ten days later!"
