Chapter 331: Beelzebub Uses Gabriel
People are fickle, and the same goes for Yamamoto.
Before when Mazuru had opened up the barrier, he thought that he could destroy the barrier without Zaraki’s Bankai.
However, after the Kyokujitsujin was fruitless, he realized that the barrier was much more stable than he had imagined, so he decisively changed his plan of action, and formulated that he would keep killing Mazuru at a speed at which his speed of devouring spiritual power could not keep up.
If the speed of Mazuru’s resurrection could not be increased, he would soon be unable to maintain the barrier, and the barrier would disintegrate at its own without any attack.
But now, he found that he was wrong in this matter too.
The purpose of Mazuru opening up the barrier was not for the ability of resurrection that he had been continuously using from the beginning, nor was it to defeat him with the advantage brought to him by his resurrections.
It was to bury the entire army of the Soul Society then and there!
In order to defeat this Hueco Mundo expeditionary force, he didn’t even plan to let go of those arrancars of Hueco Mundo.
Mazuru’s figure disappeared without a trace, and the whole inner world of the barrier changed. In there, shinigami, hollows, bounts and reiatsu were being swallowed by the crimson world, and that feeling of swallowing gave them a sense of inevitability. If things went on like that, it was certain that all the living creatures inside the entire barrier would absorbed cleanly.
Yamamoto doesn’t care about the Hueco Mundo side’s life or death, but he had to care about shinigamis’ lives.
After all, he was the one who brought these shinigami there, so he was obliged to take them back.
