Chapter 77 77: Ichigo Kurosaki Arrives, Shocking Everyone!
The sound of rain on the screen transformed into a chill that seeped into the heart of every Soul Reaper.
"Even the Captain-Commander lost..."
"Damn it! His Bankai was stolen after all!"
"How are we supposed to fight this!?"
"There's no hope... What do we do... What do we do!?"
"Shut up. We won't lose!"
Inside the barracks of each squad, the seated officers could still maintain a bit of calm, but the lower-ranking Soul Reapers had already fallen into chaos. Some even had looks of collapse in their eyes!
Especially the corpse that had been split in two on the screen. It was simply branded into their hearts like a nightmare!
For a time, the entire Seireitei was enveloped in an atmosphere of despair and pessimism!
Inside Squad One!
Shunsui Kyōraku's heart wavered, and he almost lost control of himself.
Fortunately, when he saw his teacher still sitting in the main seat, unmoving like a mountain, he finally steadied himself.
But even so, the hearts of all the captains present had already sunk to the bottom.
If his Bankai had not been stolen, the Captain-Commander might still have had the power to fight.
But now, there truly seemed to be no hope.
At that moment, three heavy sounds rang out.
A sharp light burst from the Captain-Commander's eyes, and he shouted sternly:
"We Soul Reapers must possess a heart that fears nothing!"
"We may fail. We may die. But we must never be ruled by fear!"
"If Bankai cannot be used, then search for other methods. Temper your other skills!!"
"In the end, use every ounce of your strength. Even in death, you should be able to rest in peace!"
"Yes!"
The captains lowered their heads together and answered firmly!
Inside the laboratory, Mayuri Kurotsuchi, who had fallen into deep thought, helplessly glanced toward the next room, then frowned and sank into contemplation again.
Human World!
Yoruichi asked:
"What do you think?"
Kisuke Urahara covered his mouth with his paper fan, his eyes losing focus, as if he had already seen Soul Society.
In the next second, he suddenly smiled.
"Hehe, I can already see the expression of my vice-captain looking utterly overwhelmed."
Inside Las Noches.
Aizen froze for a moment, then the corner of his mouth curved into an almost imperceptible mocking smile.
Wandenreich.
Yhwach finally spoke, laughing with pleasure:
"To see the scene of Genryūsai Yamamoto's death twice... not bad at all."
Hunter x Hunter World.
Netero stared at the body that had not fallen and froze for a moment, surprise appearing in his eyes.
A few seconds later, he let out a long breath and said something inexplicable.
"Humans can possess such resolve as well."
As he spoke, he touched his heart, his brows lowering.
But what lay within became even more firm.
One Piece World!
On the Moby Dick, Marco's eyes were filled with respect and tears.
Genryūsai Yamamoto's death reminded him of Marineford three days ago.
Pops had fought Sengoku alone to cover everyone's retreat!
Although he had ultimately died in battle, he had likewise not fallen.
At the same time, inside the new Marine Headquarters, Sengoku was also filled with emotion.
A person like this should be remembered no matter what!
One Punch Man World.
Disdain appeared in Boros's eyes.
He disdained Yhwach's underhanded methods. As a strong person, not fighting head-on was simply shameful.
At the same time, he also disdained Genryūsai Yamamoto!
Since he died without falling, why did he give up in the end?
Heh. He completely could not understand what this human was thinking. What kind of Soul Reaper was that!?
A thousand years later, in the same place, with the same people, it was a different ending.
Yhwach looked down from above and said with some emotion:
"Even the leader of the Soul Reapers has such a pitiful death, Genryūsai Yamamoto."
"Let us go, Haschwalth."
After saying that, he turned expressionlessly and walked into the distance.
But after taking only one step, he suddenly stopped again.
Yhwach lowered his head and looked down, surprised to find that the dead man's arm was tightly gripping the edge of his cloak.
Outside the screen, many people immediately understood.
Even after being cut apart, this old man had still instinctively grabbed the enemy at the instant he fell and died.
Anger appeared in Yhwach's eyes. He cut off the arm with one slash and said coldly:
"Even after death, you still refuse to let me go?"
As he spoke, he stomped hard on the dead man's head!
Inside Las Noches, a trace of mockery appeared in Aizen's eyes.
He became angry from this?
With such a state of mind, Aizen felt that he should lower the other party's level in his heart a little.
Naruto World. A trace of disdain appeared in Madara Uchiha's eyes.
Becoming angry out of embarrassment. That was somewhat low-level.
"Genryūsai Yamamoto, you half-baked fool!"
Yhwach stepped heavily on the corpse, coldly mocking him as if venting.
"Why did you not heal your left arm? All you had to do was order that human girl, correct?"
"I know. It was because you did not want to use a human!"
"I also know that during the battle with Aizen, you felt guilty for dragging the human Ichigo Kurosaki into it!"
Aizen!... Fury appeared in Shunsui Kyōraku's eyes.
Earlier, he had still wondered who had been able to cut off his teacher's arm. He had never expected it to be that traitor again!
Human World!
Ichigo Kurosaki froze.
He had never expected that the stern old man, who looked frightening just by standing there, had actually been like this inside.
He had always thought the other party looked down on him.
As Yhwach spoke, disappointment appeared in his eyes, followed by disdain.
"You have grown weak, Genryūsai Yamamoto. You are completely different from how you were in the past!"
"The Gotei 13 you founded back then was a group of killers who committed slaughter under the name of protecting the Court!"
"But what about now? After exterminating the Quincy and gaining a peaceful life, you gained things you needed to protect. You gained compassion!"
"For the sake of boring pride and justice, you hesitated and degenerated into a group of weaklings."
"Soul Society is only about to die now, but the Gotei 13 died together with us a thousand years ago!"
As his voice fell, blue Reishi fell from his fingertip!
The already broken corpse was completely torn apart this time.
At this moment, Tōshirō Hitsugaya suddenly understood why the Captain-Commander had aged, while Unohana Yachiru from back then had remained young.
It was not because of Kaidō!
Nor because of Reiatsu!
And it was not lifespan either!
It was because the Captain-Commander had gained something he wanted to protect. He had gained a human heart.
When the heart grew old, the body naturally followed.
But this kind of Soul Reaper was the one worth following!
Beside him, Shunsui Kyōraku suddenly understood something.
That was why his teacher had given up resisting after his Bankai was stolen!
Everything lay in the three characters "Genryūsai"!
That was a name that gradually changed because of his lieutenant, Sasakibe Chōjirō.
By saying those three words, Yhwach had threatened his teacher. If he fought, Yhwach would use his Bankai and summon the slain Soul Reapers!
He would make the Captain-Commander fight against the subordinates he once had!
How despicable. He had clearly calculated everything, yet now he still spoke like this!
At this moment, the Captain-Commander raised his head, but there was not the slightest anger on his face.
There was only undisguised mockery in his eyes!
At this moment, looking at the brutal King of the Quincy on the screen, he silently said in his heart:
"Yhwach, you heartless man."
"I curse you to inevitably be betrayed by everyone and die alone!"
"You... will not win."
After destroying Genryūsai Yamamoto's corpse, Yhwach gave the order to completely destroy Soul Society without hesitation!
Immediately, the members of the Sternritter began summoning shadows, and large groups of Quincy leaped out from them, attacking Soul Society. The Soul Reapers were almost powerless to resist, dying continuously!
In the heavy rain, Yhwach stood atop the ruins, quietly admiring the destruction and listening to the screams.
But suddenly, a terrifying Reiatsu appeared!
Outside the screen, the Soul Reapers' breathing stopped, their eyes filled with shock!
This terrifying Reiatsu could be felt through the screen as oppressive pressure, clearly belonging to someone extremely powerful!
But all the captains were almost finished. Who could this person be!?
Inside Squad One.
Surprise appeared in the Captain-Commander's eyes, as if even he had not expected it.
Shunsui Kyōraku, Ukitake, and Tōshirō were equally confused!
But Kenpachi Zaraki burst into laughter!
And Byakuya Kuchiki shouted in shock:
"How could it be him!!?"
Hueco Mundo.
Aizen's eyes revealed an even richer excitement than when he had seen Yhwach.
Something outside the plan...
Is it you... Ichigo Kurosaki!
Boom!
A cold light flashed in the sky, emitting an earth-shaking sound as it tore through the air, then slammed into the ground before Yhwach!
It was a pure black sword. The guard was shaped like a swastika, and a segment of black chain rose from the end.
At this moment, another black shooting star crashed down!
As the dust settled, a person appeared within it, his face stained with blood, his eyes filled with killing intent, like an Asura!
In the next second, he slowly pulled out the long blade and pointed it coldly at the King of the Quincy!
Outside the screen!
At this moment, Uryū Ishida, Chad, Yoruichi Shihōin, Kisuke Urahara, and the others in the Human World!
Renji, Rukia, Ikkaku, the captains, and everyone in Soul Society all revealed shocked expressions!
The person emitting Reiatsu as deep as an abyss was actually...
Ichigo!
Kurosaki!
