Chapter 302: The End?
(A/N 400k words by the way. I didn't expect to last this long.:)
(Ryoto's pov)
Time for words has ended. There was nothing Rin or I could say to change Aizen's mind, and now that Quincy could attack at any moment, we need to unite faster than ever, and while having a common enemy in Aizen would be ideal, we don't have time for that anymore. I'll need to find a way to kill Yhwach without Aizen's help, and it will be problematic with the Almighty active, but there is still a chance to end him before he regains this broken ability. But that is the issue for future Ryoto. Presently Ryoto had enough of these at the moment.
""Bankai."" Both Rin and I released our Bankai.
"Tensa Zangetsu." I decided to use Zangetsu once again. It would be difficult to use Gyaku with only one arm. It's not impossible, but against Aizen, I need to give 120% and more.
"Ensō" was the name of Rin's Bankai. It didn't change her Zanpakuto's look at all, but it was definitely more dangerous.
"Both of you start with your Bankai. I am flattered that you think so highly of me. Unfortunately, I'll choose to refrain from using it and limit myself to my Shikai. Scatter, Kyoka Suigetsu."
Visual illusions won't work on either me or Rin, but every other sense could be used against us. I explained it to Rin earlier, and that's why we decided not to talk at all during this fight. Doing that makes it evident that it isn't real if we hear the other one talking. I even jokingly proposed for Rin to stab both of our brains so we could maybe have a telepathic connection, but both Unohana and Isane slapped the back of my head. That's why we settled on the second-best thing.
We didn't rush at each other immediately, even after using the ultimate form of our Zanpakuto. Aizen did that out of curiosity, wanting to see how we would approach him. Rin and I, on the other hand, out of caution.
