Chapter 72 72: Crushing Kenpachi, the Strongest Soul Reaper Takes the Stage!
Inside Squad One.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi looked toward Captain-Commander Yamamoto with barely suppressed intent and said:
"When Uryū Ishida invaded Seireitei as a Ryoka, I already reminded you that we needed to be careful of the Quincy."
"At the time, you ignored it. Now it seems I was not worrying for nothing. You should have—"
Shunsui Kyōraku interrupted with an unhappy expression:
"Captain of Squad Twelve, please watch your words!"
The latter immediately sneered.
"My words? Heh. The root of all this disaster is that, a thousand years ago, the Captain-Commander failed to completely kill that man!"
"Surely none of you have forgotten that after the video ends, there will still be rewards, right?"
Before this, he had believed the reward would merely help Yhwach escape, and the Captain-Commander could still turn the tide!
But now, Soul Society could be said to have fallen into its greatest crisis. Even Aizen could not compare!
The expressions of many people in the hall became extremely ugly!
"We still have Squad Zero."
After thinking for a moment, Shunsui Kyōraku still gritted his teeth and said.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi coldly smiled.
"Then keep dreaming. I'm going back to the laboratory to save what I can."
During these three days, the laboratory had already been moved to Squad One. Behind the side door of the hall was the new laboratory.
This way, it was convenient for the captains to communicate.
Everyone looked at one another. At that moment, an astonishing aura appeared from Captain-Commander Yamamoto, as if a dust-covered sharp blade had finally had its dust wiped away!
He spoke in a heavy voice, firm and resolute:
"Everyone, this time, I will personally execute that sinner."
Human World!
Ichigo Kurosaki's pupils trembled, bloodshot veins spreading through them!
In the scene where Yhwach took nine days to regain his power, he had seen a fleeting image of his own mother!
Back then, a certain power had actually been used, and only then had she been killed by that Hollow!
In other words, this man was the true murderer!
Inside the study!
Uryū Ishida revealed an expression of pain and fury!
At this moment, he finally knew how his mother had died back then!
Taking nine days to regain his power meant taking back the power of all Quincy of mixed blood!
The plan began!
The first step was to attack Hueco Mundo!
The current ruler of Hueco Mundo, Harribel, was captured, while the Arrancar were either modified or killed!
In a short time, Hueco Mundo was completely occupied!
Las Noches!
The Espada revealed gazes filled with shock and terror!
Not only because of the strength of the Quincy, but also because of something else!
"Hehe, I never expected that in the original timeline, I actually lost."
Aizen said emotionally, but there was not the slightest expression of disappointment on his face.
In the next second, he suddenly spoke:
"Gin, what do you think was the reason I lost while possessing the Hōgyoku?"
Gin Ichimaru did not take off his fox-like smile and said with great interest:
"I guess the Hōgyoku was taken away from you."
"In my view, there are two possibilities."
"Oh? Tell me." Aizen said curiously.
Gin Ichimaru guessed:
"First, Captain Aizen, your plan failed. You did not successfully throw Kenpachi Zaraki into Hueco Mundo."
Aizen nodded.
"Then what is the second?"
"Indeed, that beast possesses the power to increase his Reiatsu the more he fights. He is a major hidden danger."
Gin Ichimaru licked his lips.
"The second possibility is that Wonderweiss, the fire-extinguishing prince, failed to play his role."
Aizen smiled but did not speak.
However, his thoughts sank even deeper.
You still do not understand me, Gin!
How could my plan possibly go wrong?
The only possible reason for failure is the appearance of something outside the plan!
For example, Ichigo Kurosaki!
The camera suddenly shifted to Soul Society!
Inside Seireitei, a murderous atmosphere filled the air. Large numbers of Soul Reapers guarded the entrances, patrolled every area, and the Sōkyoku's protective barrier was also stable and firm!
But in the next second, without the slightest warning, sixteen enormous pillars of Reishi flame shot into the sky!
In an instant, many Soul Reapers were swallowed and ignited, dying without even being able to scream!
Inside Seireitei, countless Soul Reapers turned pale.
Although they knew the enemy was inside the shadows, the way they appeared now was still terrifying!
Inside the laboratory, Mayuri Kurotsuchi seemed thoughtful.
Using Reishi flames to pierce through the shadows and connect to reality?
In the next moment, large numbers of Quincy dressed in white knight uniforms descended!
The captains went out to battle one after another!
But a terrifying scene appeared. The Soul Reapers' Bankai were actually seized by the enemy using medallions!
The captains fell into an absolute disadvantage!
Inside Squad One!
Bankai. This was the most important ability of a Soul Reaper, yet the enemy could easily steal it!
Tōshirō and the others had extremely shocked and ugly expressions!
How could they fight a battle like this? The disadvantage was far too great!!
The lower-ranking Soul Reapers also fell into despair!
The reason captains were captains was because they possessed powerful Bankai!
If they lost their Bankai, did that not mean there was no hope at all?
Las Noches.
At this moment, even Aizen revealed a look of surprise.
But soon, he laughed again.
"Stealing Bankai. The Quincy truly have delivered me a great gift right from the beginning!"
As he spoke, the golden eye on his forehead emitted a faint light.
It seemed to be collecting something.
Yhwach's figure appeared once again.
He walked through the ruins, quietly admiring the broken walls around him.
But at this moment, a rather heavy sound of footsteps appeared.
In the next second, Kenpachi Zaraki, carrying three Sternritter members pierced through by his blade, blocked his path and said with a savage grin:
"Yo. You're the boss of these small fry?"
Inside Soul Society, the Soul Reapers revealed excited gazes!
"It's Captain Zaraki!"
"As expected of Kenpachi. Even without Bankai, he can kill three of those monsters!"
"That's great!!"
Inside Squad One, Kenpachi Zaraki himself also revealed an excited gaze!
That Yhwach must be very worth cutting!
Human World!
Ichigo Kurosaki felt his scalp go numb.
He suddenly discovered that the people he had met inside Seireitei back then had not actually shown their true strength at all.
This Kenpachi Zaraki now gave him the feeling of being watched by a predator!
Inside the Wandenreich.
As expected of one of the Five Special War Powers in the data. He had killed three members the moment he appeared!
Many members of the Sternritter revealed surprised gazes!
At this moment, Yhwach lowered his gaze and spoke in a calm yet incomparably terrifying voice:
"There is no room for failures in my Ritter."
"Your Majesty, please give me another—"
"I won't fail next time—"
In an instant, three sounds of flesh exploding rang out, and the three future failures died instantly.
All the Sternritter lowered their heads.
Some people's eyes were filled with terror, some were taking pleasure in their misfortune.
And some remained utterly unmoved.
"I came here precisely to fight you!"
Kenpachi Zaraki let out an excited roar. Without hesitation, he threw away the three pieces of trash and charged toward Yhwach!
The instant he approached, he raised his jagged Zanpakutō and slashed downward with immense force!
Yhwach did not move at all, his expression calm and indifferent.
Only at the instant the slash fell did he raise his arm forward!
One Piece World!
Kaido's eyelid twitched!
The pressure of that slash was something even he, with his dragon defense, would not dare to casually take head-on!
This human actually used his arm as a shield!
One Punch Man World!
Atomic Samurai's eyes were filled with incomprehension!
Using the flesh body to receive such a slash—had this man become arrogant to the point of madness?
At this moment, he seemed to have already seen a body split in two!
Bleach World!
Countless Soul Reapers revealed excited gazes!
There was no way even Captain Kenpachi Zaraki's sword could be blocked. This person definitely had something wrong with his brain!
Boom!
The ground rumbled and trembled, forming spiderweb-like cracks that spread wildly. Every building within a hundred meters collapsed!!
But when the dust and smoke dispersed, an astonishing scene appeared!
It was as if the sword had not struck a body of flesh and blood, but the hardest alloy!
Kenpachi Zaraki's sword was firmly blocked by Yhwach's arm.
"How is that possible?"
Tōshirō Hitsugaya shouted in excitement before he could stop himself!
He felt that even the Captain-Commander would not be able to do this without releasing his power!
Beside him, Shunsui Kyōraku's eyes were also filled with shock!
One Punch Man World!
Genos's face could not help twitching!
That kind of strike would cut even his steel body in half!
Yet this human was completely unharmed!
Inside Las Noches.
Aizen revealed a surprised gaze.
"A Reishi cloak?"
"There is no record of this ability in the Quincy data!"
In his eyes, a pattern of Reishi lines had just appeared beneath Yhwach's clothes across the surface of his body!
It was this unremarkable defense that had actually easily blocked Kenpachi Zaraki's strike!
And right then, Yhwach's other hand had already clasped around Kenpachi's neck at some unknown point, before instantly smashing him hard into the ground!
Shock appeared in Kenpachi Zaraki's eyes, clearly unable to accept this result!
A violent earthquake occurred again, and the already cracked artificial ground was completely shattered!
In the next moment, Yhwach straightened his bent body!
His left hand was still tightly gripping Kenpachi Zaraki, while Kenpachi had already fainted completely, hanging from his hand like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered!
Even so, he still had not released the blade in his hand!
Outside the screen, Soul Society fell into dead silence!
Countless Soul Reapers revealed terrified gazes!
The more hope they had held just now, the more fear they felt now!
There was no doubt!
That man who could kill three Sternritter had been defeated in a single instant!
Inside Squad One!
Tōshirō could no longer understand what kind of combat power this was!
In his understanding, no one should be able to make that beast of Soul Society collapse all at once!
At this moment, he even saw confusion in Kenpachi's own eyes, as well as... fighting spirit?
This was too absurd in every sense!
Only inside Squad Four, Unohana Retsu, who had not come, suddenly gripped her Zanpakutō and silently murmured:
"It seems the time has come."
Wandenreich.
The members of the Sternritter showed no expression.
Although Kenpachi was a Special War Power, once he encountered His Majesty, it was only natural that he would be no different from an insect.
Within the ruins.
Yhwach revealed a cruel smile, his fingers slowly tightening!
But just as he was about to kill Kenpachi Zaraki, the sky seemed to burn, and all of Seireitei had already turned crimson!
In the next instant, a blazing meteor of fire descended from the sky!
A terrifying pressure descended in an instant!
An old man with only one arm, yet incomparably fierce, walked out from the flames!
The strongest Soul Reaper in Soul Society for a thousand years, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto!
Takes the stage!
