The King's Components

Deep within the second Inner Palace the Soul King Palace, the Monk's consciousness arrived.

It was a dimly lit place, with only a few scattered candlelight illuminating the altar and several boxes, as if something was being offered.

This is an altar, dedicated to the supreme being of the Three Worlds.

The illusory Monk, somewhat exhausted, plopped down on the ground. The candlelight here remained perfectly still. For the Monk in his current state, the time that passed in his consciousness was merely a fleeting moment in reality, giving him a brief respite.

Sawada Tsunayoshi, where did this monster come from? The Monk regretted that the connection between the Soul King Palace and the Seireitei should have been closer, which led to such a huge change in the Seireitei without his knowledge.

Because Tsuna's name has no anchor in this world, the Monk cannot directly learn about his existence through his name like others.

This gave Tsuna, and by the time the Monk discovered Tsuna, Tsuna's strength was no longer something he could easily control.

Fortunately, the Monk still had some trump cards up his sleeve; he was not invincible since the founding of the Soul King Palace.

In ancient times, countless people wanted to overthrow the Soul King Palace. No one liked a newly established organization looming over them, not even the Five Great Noble Houses.

At that time, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto had not yet made a name for himself, the Gotei 13 were nowhere to be found, and the name of the Ōetsu Nimaiya Sword God was only known in a small circle. The Soul King Palace was in a precarious situation, and the only person they could rely on was the Monk.

Of course, Monk were not invincible. At that time, many powerful families possessed so-called divine artifacts, and among these weapons were those that could counter the Ichimonji.

It was during this turbulent period that the Monk single-handedly maintained the existence of the Soul King Palace. Later, with the arrival of Ōetsu Nimaiya, and at the Monk's suggestion, the Soul King Palace used Zanpakuto to control the world, plunging the Soul Society into internal strife. Those heaven-defying divine artifacts gradually perished in the war.

Turbulent times produce heroes. Yamamoto Shigekuni and Unohana Yachiru were born during that period. After that, things were simple: Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto led the first Gotei 13 in a battle against Yhwach, who had invaded Soul Society.

It was the bloody battle a thousand years ago that laid the foundation for the Soul Society's thousand-year period of stability.

However, the battle a thousand years ago was not only fought by Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto and others. The Soul King Palace, represented by the Monk, also took sides, and the Monk sided with the Gotei 13.

For no other reason than that Yhwach actually wanted to return the Three Worlds to their initial chaos, which the Monk could not accept.

He had been working hard to protect the Soul King Palace so as not to waste the Soul King's sacrifice and to maintain the stability of the Three Worlds. Yhwach's purpose undoubtedly crossed the Monk's bottom line.

It was during that conversation that the Monk used the altar's trump card, sealing Yhwach's the Almighty power, forcing Yhwach to fake his death for a thousand years in exchange for true the Almighty.

The power the Monk used to seal Yhwach's the Almighty is called the Soul King's Left Hand. So the things enshrined on this altar are quite simple: those boxes of all sizes are filled with parts of the Soul King!

The human figure now sealed in the crystal is nothing but an empty shell; apart from the head being intact, the Soul King King's internal organs have been completely removed.

The killing and dismemberment of the Soul King were the work of the ancestors of the Five Great Noble Houses, but the removal of the Soul King's internal organs was indeed the work of the Monk.

There was no other way; in order to protect the Soul King Palace, the Monk needed the Soul King's power, something the Soul King had tacitly approved.

After the Soul King was dismembered, the Monk used the power of several of his internal organs to deal with the crisis that had just been established in the Soul King Palace.

Later, his left hand was used to seal Yhwach's the Almighty, while his right hand was thrown into the Soul Society's Gyakkotsu District to help the newly formed Gotei 13 deal with the crisis of the Quincy invasion.

His legs were used as pillars to support the world, and a large family also made the sacrifice.

Apart from his limbs and some of his internal organs that had been consumed in the early stages, Yhwach also sensed the location of the altar when he was sealed by the Monk. Before leaving the Soul King Palace, he and his personal guards stole two boxes from the altar.

Without the Almighty of Yhwach, it was impossible to determine which box was the most valuable. Because time was of the essence, he chose one large and one small box, figuring he would eventually open one that was valuable.

Those two boxes contained the Soul King's heart and a bird (￢?￢).

Now, because of Tsuna's appearance, the Monk has to use the few remaining parts once again. These powers are becoming increasingly rare with each use, but it is still worthwhile to use them on Sawada Tsunayoshi, this destabilizing factor!

The Monk clasped his hands together in a gesture of worship, then began chanting a prayer, roughly describing how dangerous the Soul Society was and pleading with the Soul King for power in this critical moment.

Not content with just chanting, the Monk stood up and began a sacrificial dance. Fortunately, this was a world of consciousness, and the candlelight remained stable; otherwise, this single act alone would have been enough to crush his corpse into several layers of ashes for the enemy.

The Monk did this because he was also afraid of the Soul King's power; he could have simply opened the offering box and taken out the parts inside.

But then the consequences of forcibly using the Soul King's power would fall on him, Monk could only use the excuse of protecting the Soul Society to get the Soul King to cooperate with him and hand over his power.

While doing these things, the Monk couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Fortunately, the current Soul King was just a mindless puppet; otherwise, how dare he deceive him like this? Would he have any regard for his life?

After a series of tedious operations, the candlelight flickered, and with a click, a box opened. This meant that the Soul King had responded to the Monk's call and allowed Monk to use his power for the Soul Society.

The Monk's face lit up with delight, and he quickly leaned closer. He didn't even need to look to know what was inside, because the Monk had divided the boxes himself.

Inside the box was a section of intestine. Because the intestine was quite long, the Monk divided it into several parts when he took it out and placed them in the same box. He had used some of the power of the intestine in the past.

Unlike other intact internal organs, these dissected intestines do not grant him any special abilities; instead, they contain only the purest Soul King's Power.

That's enough. The Soul King's Power the Soul King, enhanced by the physical strength of the Spirit King, is far superior to the scattered Soul King's Power in the Soul King Palace. After using the power of this intestine, the Monk will be as powerful as if the Soul King has returned.

After carefully removing the intestines, the Monk respectfully bowed three more times to the altar. In any case, the proper etiquette had to be observed, so that he could successfully gain the support of the Soul King next time.

The Monk had just finished the ritual, twitched his ears, patted his chest, and muttered to himself, "Luckily, I was quick enough. Who was it that called me back so quickly?"

Because he possesses the power of name, even if Monk dies, he can be resurrected immediately if anyone calls his name.

The Monk had just heard someone calling his name; the power of the Zero Division's Residence Connecting to the Ichimonji had been activated, and he had to respond as soon as possible.

The Monk made a hand seal and inserted the section of the Soul King's intestines into it, because he was merely an ideology and could not bring the Soul King's intestines to the lower realm through resurrection.

Only through this method can he, after being resurrected, invoke the power of the Soul King, and his intestines will respond, directly projecting the power of the Soul King into the Monk's body.

After doing all this, the Monk bowed to the altar once more, spread his palms apart, and his entire body turned into a pool of ink and disappeared.

After the Monk disappeared, the Soul King Palace returned to peace, but it wasn't entirely peaceful.

Monk monk, at the very moment he removed his intestines, the pupils of the Soul King, sealed within the crystal above his head and whom he regarded as a living dead, flickered!

Soul King King's eyes seem to be able to see through countless obstacles and perceive the changed future; his eyes are truly the Almighty!

Returning to the Soul Society, everyone was astonished to see the Monk killed by Tsuna.

The members of the Gotei 13 felt alright. They had already wondered if Tsuna could defeat the Monk when Tsuna erupted.

The most shocked person was undoubtedly the Kirinjī Tenshirō. That unfathomable Unohana -Monk, had actually died at the hands of a junior?

The title "Unohana: Monk" reminded Kirinj, and the anxious expression on his face calmed down. The death of a member of the Zero Squad was nothing to be afraid of, because they were truly immortal.

"Wake up!"

The sound from Kirinj was incredibly loud, so that the Monk's head, rolling on the ground, could hear it.

"Oh no!" Yoruichi cursed under her breath. She had overlooked the fact that there was a sixth brother beside her. If Kirinj had said the second half of his sentence, Tsuna's efforts would have been in vain!

In Flash Cry, a burst of energy erupted, and in the blink of an eye, with unstoppable momentum, she kicked Kirinj in the face. This was the fastest reaction Yoruichi could make, and the kick was also to make Kirinj swallow the rest of his words.

Not only that, after making Kirinj swallow the words he should have said, Yoruichi would then launch a high-frequency pursuit of Kirinj, so intense that Kirinj would be unable to speak.

If possible, Yoruichi was prepared to kill Kirinj on the spot!

Kirinj's words also alerted the captains watching from the sidelines, and several quick-witted ones reacted the same time Yoruichi made her move.

Back when Tsuna was fighting the Monk, Kyōraku used the power of shadows to return the captains' Zanpakuto.

Unohana Retsu unleashed a gust of sword wind directly towards Kirinj. Her speed was no match for Yoruichi and Kirinj; this was the only thing she could do.

Kyōraku's figure vanished instantly. He intended to use his shadow abilities to deliver a fatal blow to Kirinj. Since Tsuna had already killed Monk, he didn't care whether the Gotei 13 the Zero Squad. Ideally, he would leave the entire Zero Squad alive!

Hirako has released his Zanpakuto; the Sakanade blade twists and unleashes its power, and the world will be turned upside down under Hirako's control.

If a name is called but the name is wrong, does that mean the power is lost?

Hirako's eyes were full of determination. From the moment Ōetsu Nimaiya reached out his hand to Rose, the captain of the Visored and the Zero Squad had been locked in an irreconcilable feud!

By using the power of Sakanade to make the name pronounced at Kirinj reversed, does the power of the name cease to be effective?

Answer me, it must be like this!
