Hades couldn't believe it. His agent of death was defeated by a mere Shinigami.
Hades thought of himself as the true god of death, and Shinigami was just a pretender.
He had always prided himself on his power and authority over the underworld, and his agent of death's unexpected defeat was a blow to his ego.
"Kurosaki Ichigo, He is a human, but yet he is not. I can't manipulate his death as well. Something is protecting him. What… The inifinite dragon god"
Hades gritted his teeth. If it was Ophis, then he couldn't do anything to him. He didn't know that, behind the protection of the infinite dragon god, there were many things that could also protect him from his authority.
And he didn't need to know that.
Hades sighed on his bone throne as he knew that Kokabiel would never be able to succeed in his job.
"I need to call Ceberus back. There is no need for him to die in vain."
Even though Hades could claim his subordinates deaths and bring them back to the underworld, they would lose some of the authority he gave them. And it would take so many years for them to regain the power they once had.
So if they died, it would be a huge loss to him.
And as he was about to call Cerberus back, he felt that he was dead.
"What"
Hades looked at the history of the death of Ceberus and saw that he was obliterated by the power of destruction.
The power of destruction was so intense that it destroyed Cerberus at the molecule level.
"That girl inherited the power of destruction from the Bael family. With that much power, the old ancestor would make his move to protect her. Loss, This is a huge loss. I should never deal with that failure to begin with."
Hades lamented about his choice. Now he had lost two of his agents of death. If the others knew, they would make a mess in his domain, which his dead subordiante should govern.
His work load increased because of his stupidity.
Hades couldn't just sit idly on his bone throne anymore. He needed to make preparations for that.
…
Kokabiel couldn't believe it. His army was wiped out in just a matter of minutes. In front of him stood a captain-level Shinigami.
He could remember facing one, and it wasn't her. He could tell that she was young and couldn't be a captain for long. But how could she be this strong?
"Should I kill you now?"
Soifon spoke coldly. She didn't even have to use her Bankai to deal with him.
Kokabiel didn't say anything. They fought a little bit earlier, and he could say that he stood no chance against her.
With just one more hit, he would be claimed by Hades.
He was at a disadvantage, but with pride. How could he let himself be defeated so easily?
"You underestimate me girl. You are too young for that."
Kokebiel was older than Soifon. So he had many tricks up his sleeve. He pulled something from inside his personal space. Soifon could feel a dreadful aura from it.
"Die!"
It was an arrow that would never miss its target. He got it from Hades to use in a moment like this.
He aimed the arrow directly at Soifon. He then shot it with all of his power. The arrow soared through the air, its deadly path aimed straight towards Soifon.
As it neared her, she could sense the immense power behind it.
Soifon tried to dodge it, but the arrow just moved with an uncanny speed, closing in on her rapidly. It followed her every movement, as if it had a mind of its own.
"Not good!"
Soifon knew that if she was hit by the arrow, her life would be in grave danger. She quickly activated her shunko technique, enhancing her speed and agility, hoping to outmaneuver the relentless arrow.
However, despite her best efforts, the arrow closed in on her with alarming precision.
It hit her in the heart, causing excruciating pain to surge through her body.
Soifon's vision blurred as she felt her strength wane, realizing that the arrow was infused with death authority.
Desperate to survive, she summoned every ounce of her remaining energy to retaliate against the deadly power.
She could suppress it, but how long she didn't know Ichigo always told her not to underestimate her enemy, but she never listened.
Her reiryoku was drained from her.
"You should kill him when you can, Soifon."
An indifferent voice whispered in her ear, causing her to startle. It was Yoruichi, her former mentor and friend, who had appeared out of nowhere.
She pulled out the arrow from her heart and destroyed it. She then forced a pill into Soifon's mouth. It was a pill that Kisuke made. It would heal her reiryoku, so she would not die.
"You"
Kokebiel's eyes widen when he sees Yoruichi. He could tell that the unknown woman was even stronger than the girl with whom he had fought before. And she had a mean way to counter his trump card.
"It looks like I have to take revenge on you for my little bee. I will make it short."
Yoruichi smirked confidently, then disappeared in a burst of speed. Kokabiel prepares himself, but
His head was cut clean from his body. Yoruichi's swift and deadly attack left Kokabiel no chance to defend himself. Her claw was so sharp that it could shred the strongest steel easily.
His lifeless body fell to the ground, while Yoruichi stood triumphantly over him. The battle was over in just a millisecond.
And as Yoruichi was about to brag about her power to Soifon, She was hugged tightly.
Soifon hugged her like she would disappeared in a moment.
Yoruichi felt guilty. She was like her big sister and mother. But she just left her like that. If it weren't for Ichigo to keep her company, She didn't know what would happen to her.
'Maybe she would want to kill me. Who knows'
