Chapter 300: Soul
The so-called space-transference, the so-called immortality, and even his devouring ability were actually the supplementary abilities after Mazuru releases his Bankai. The real ability of his Zanpakuto was actually the power to invade the mysterious realm of the souls.
Sojiro didn't understand what Mazuru meant by the sentence that the most important thing in shinigami was the soul, wasn't that a matter of course?
But this was not as simple as sounded, Mazuru's personal experience over the years had made him reach this answer from another perspective.
Shinigami, except for some nobles who have lived in the Soul Society for generations, most of them were actually former human beings, who died in the world of living, and some of them had souls with spiritual power who then achieved the profession of shinigami through systematic training.
Like humans in the world of living, shinigami have bodies that bleed when injured.
But in fact, this body, blood, all were just appearances, and what was really important was the main soul.
The so-called body was nothing more than an aggregate of reishi, which protect the inner soul and endow the shinigami with an extremely long lifespan.
Of course, there was a price, that is, the souls with spiritual power compared to ordinary souls, would have a sense of hunger.
On the contrary, those souls that do not have spiritual power and do not have spirit particles to aggregate their bodies, they do not know hunger, and their life span was not as long as that of souls with spiritual power.
If such people live in an environment with slightly richer spirits, one would die due to various discomforts.
So although it seemed that they were all souls, there was a huge difference in their souls' quality and characteristics and so a soul with spiritual power and a soul without spiritual power were actually two completely different existences.
