Death: Captain Millennium

Chapter 255 Secret (1)

After receiving Adnais's accurate reply, Lin Yu couldn't help but fall into deep thought. The most powerful being in the world of death was none other than Adnais.

If it wasn't him, how could he have ended up here for such an inexplicable reason? But if it wasn't him who brought him here, then who was the mastermind behind this? Could it be Hell?

Lin Yu shook his head, rejecting the idea. After all, he had once had a fierce battle with the Will of Hell. Although he was unfortunately injured by the Will of Hell in the end, he could clearly feel that the power of the Will of Hell was far less powerful and terrifying than Adnais.

This mystery seems difficult to solve at the moment. However, Lin Yu is not in a hurry. As the saying goes, if you want to find a car, there must be a way, and if there is a road, there must be a Toyota! Maybe one day, by chance, the truth will naturally surface.

"Adnais, there's actually a question I've always wanted to know the answer to. Soul Society has five famous noble families: the Tsunayashiro family, the Kuchiki family, the Shihoin family, and the Shiba family. But who is this last family?"

Thinking of this, Lin Yu put aside his doubts for the time being and asked Adnes another question that had been bothering him for a long time.

In fact, Lin Yu had already had a rough guess about this question. He felt that this last mysterious family was either the family that Urahara Kisuke belonged to, or the family that Ise Nanao belonged to.

It's just that due to the lack of solid evidence, it has never been confirmed. Now it's a good opportunity to consult Adnes, the person involved, in person. I believe I should be able to get a definitive answer from him.

"The last family is the Ise family. It is a matrilineal family and an alternative among the five noble families. Unlike the four noble families, the Ise family believes in Shinto."

Adnes was very surprised by the question raised by Lin Yu. These things should be able to be found in the spiritual book in the Great Spiritual Book Corridor, so why would he be asked as the person involved.

"There's no record in the spiritual book that the Ise family is one of the five great nobles."

Lin Yu seemed to see what Adnais was thinking and told him about it.

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! How could there be no relevant record in the Spirit Book? The Spirit Book exists according to my will, and it will actively record everything that happens in the Three Realms! The Ise family is clearly one of the Five Great Nobles. Such an important and established fact, there is no reason why it should not be reflected in the Spirit Book."

As the ruler of the three realms, Adnes had always been aloof and all-knowing. Yet, right now, such an incredible thing was happening right under his nose. How could he accept it? His emotions surged like surging waves, difficult to calm down.

"Hmph, look at you. You always claim to be all-knowing and all-powerful, but now you don't even know such important information. It seems you're nothing special!"

Seeing this, Lin Yu raised a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth, looked at Adnais with squinted eyes, and ridiculed him mercilessly.

Not to mention that Adnais had been completely unaware of his presence, but now even his Spiritual Book had been tampered with, and it looked like the opponent's strength was no less than Adnais's. Could it be that this so-called Spiritual King was just a fake in name only?

Hearing Lin Yu's sarcasm, Adnes's face instantly turned extremely gloomy, but he did not immediately refute it. His pupils began to spin wildly. The four originally scattered pupils gradually merged into one under the high-speed rotation, forming a strange and deep single pupil.

At this moment, a shocking scene occurred. A bright red tear slowly flowed from his eyes. Adnais was injured! The dignified Spirit King, possessing supreme power and immense strength, was actually injured! What kind of horrific vision had he seen in the Spirit Book to cause him such a severe injury?

"My spiritual book has been tampered with. Judging from the method and traces of tampering, the person who modified the book is probably as powerful as me! However, what's strange is that this person didn't completely erase the Ise family from the spiritual book, but simply downplayed their existence."

Adnais was silent for a long time, and finally spoke slowly. After saying these words, Adnais fell into deep self-blame.

After a while, he suddenly realized a terrible problem: he, a dignified Spirit King, was truly incompetent! So many things had happened one after another recently, but he had never noticed anything unusual.

If Lin Yu had not taken the initiative to ask him about the spiritual book today, he might have been kept in the dark forever and would never have known the truth about this important fact that was deliberately concealed and ignored.

Thinking of this, Adnais couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, because this meant that a mysterious and powerful force was quietly and invisibly influencing his will, and he was completely unaware of it.

Now, the Spirit King, once known for his omniscience and omnipotence, able to control the entire Three Realms, is gradually losing control of the world he created. Could it be that a new god has been born in this vast universe?

"Oh my! You, you've been sleeping in a daze for so many years. If you continue like this, I'm afraid your hometown will be stolen!"

Lin Yu listened quietly to Adnais's confession, a look of disbelief on his face, as if he had just heard the biggest joke in the world. It was unimaginable that the dignified Spirit King would be reduced to such a state!

God knows if the situation continues to develop in this way, will this once majestic Spirit King finally be liberated, or will he be completely wiped out?

Although Adnais had long been tired of this kind of life and felt that he had lived too long and was too tired in the world of death, that was only true for the world of death.

When he was shocked to learn from Lin Yu that there was a vast world outside, his desire and pursuit to survive was rekindled deep in his heart.

According to the plot originally envisioned by Adnes, in the end either Ichigo Kurosaki or Yhwach will succeed him as the new generation of Soul King.

By then, he would be able to break free from his constraints as he wished and devote himself to studying how to escape from the world of death.

Now the situation has undergone such a drastic change. The relief that was originally expected may very likely come in a completely different way, perhaps a real death! This is definitely not the result that Adnais had intended when he carefully planned it!
