A week later.
"Whew, all done!"
Duan Mu looked at the brand-new squad barracks before him and nodded in satisfaction.
The Zanpakuto rampage had completely subsided. Almost all the Zanpakuto had returned to their owners, while the few that had gone berserk after their owners died had been brought under control immediately.
As Muramasa's influence vanished, the Zanpakuto gradually dispelled their materialized forms.
As for Duan Mu...
He had lain in the intensive care unit of the Comprehensive First Aid Station for less than a day before Captain Commander Yamamoto dragged him out with a dark expression.
The reason was...
Repairing the damage caused by his Zanpakuto's rampage. In order to devour Duan Mu's female friends, Jumei had roamed through Rukongai and Seireitei, causing incalculable losses.
Before Duan Mu's Zanpakuto had gone berserk, Seireitei had already begun repair work. Before the repairs could even be completed, however, Duan Mu's Zanpakuto had destroyed everything again.
Duan Mu had no complaints about that.
His injuries were not particularly serious, after all. Compared to his physical wounds, the mental toll inflicted on him after Jumei returned had been far greater, causing Duan Mu to faint the moment he left his mental world.
That made Duan Mu realize that Jumei had not devoured so many people merely because it wanted him to personally bury them. Maintaining Bankai required an immense foundation of spiritual pressure and mental strength.
Without spiritual pressure, Duan Mu had only lasted an instant after Jumei returned before collapsing unconscious.
Back to the matter at hand.
Whether it was repairing buildings or restoring streets, none of it was difficult for Duan Mu.
Besides, while the squads were being repaired, the squad members had all helped from the sidelines. Before their Zanpakuto dispelled their materialized forms, they had also worked alongside their
