Chapter 86, Section 85: Hell - Execution Song

"Did you use that trick?"

From afar, Kenpachi Kuruyashiki watched the changes in the center of the battlefield and recalled the idea that Shuichi Higashino had proposed to him not long after he agreed to follow him in his training in Hell.

"Captain, I want to develop a brand new Kido so that when I guide the sinful spirits of Hell back to Soul Society, I can better release them."

That's what Higashino Shuichi said that day.

“Great idea. If there’s anything I can help you with, just let me know.”

This was Kenpachi Kuruyashiki's reply to Shuichi Higashino that day.

Therefore, the Ghost Path before him can be said to be the product of his collaboration with Higashino Shuichi over this period of time.

The ideas and concepts were provided by Shuichi Higashino, while Kenpachi Kuruyashiki himself was responsible for researching the creation and casting of Kido.

"Let them see your power, Shuichi!"

Kenpachi Kuruyashiki gazed at the center of the battlefield and said softly.

In the distance, beneath Higashino Shuichi's feet, as the Hadō Hell: Execution Song was unleashed, the unique grayness of hell fell to the ground.

Screams, calls, and wails—countless sounds emanated from underground.

Those ancient Void beings tried to escape this area, only to find that their bodies were already firmly gripped by countless skeletal hands.

Ikeda Yukisa leaped into the air a step ahead of time, and was just about to congratulate himself on his quick reaction and then taunt Higashino Shuichi on the other side, when he discovered that the ghostly figures around him had also grown gray-white skeletal arms.

In the distance, as the gray area ceased to extend, Higashino Shuichi's body also stopped turning gray.

At this moment, half of his body remained the same, but the other half had strangely transformed into a human skeleton composed of black ash.

This was the power of vengeance he had briefly borrowed from hell.

"Wherever hell goes, all sinners will be punished!"

The deep voice, like the tolling of a temple bell in the mountains, was melodious and echoing, wandering through this gray realm and striking the heart of every sinful soul within.

Then, it turned into black ash and was scattered on the ground.

Nothing caught by the gray-white skeletal arms could escape execution.

Even those that form phantoms due to the power of their Zanpakuto are no exception.

The forces of hell collide.

The ghostly figures created by Ikeda Yukisa's Zanpakuto ability are ultimately just a fraction of the power borrowed from hell.

Higashino Shuichi, however, briefly transformed himself into a scapegoat, guiding the core power of Hell to directly execute everything within its domain.

This is a kind of demonic art that only Higashino Shuichi could create.

Because only he possesses both the demanding conditions of "being able to channel the power of hell to infuse himself" and "being able to regenerate his body after his half-body pseudo-guilt."

The former was achieved indirectly by Higashino Shuichi through borrowing the power of the Kabuto family's Zanpakuto, Seiya Basa.

The latter is the effect of the fragments of Higashino Shuichi's Spirit King fingernail.

When the song ends, all things wither.

The once noisy battlefield was instantly reduced to just Higashino Shuichi and Ikeda Yukisa.

This was the result of Higashino Shuichi's deliberate control, because Ikeda Yukisa could not be killed, so he only killed Ikeda Yukisa's ghost image.

This is equivalent to sealing away Ikeda Yukisa's seemingly unsolvable Bankai ability.

"Hehe, hahahaha!"

On the battlefield, Ikeda Yukisa was initially shocked, but then quickly began to laugh.

Because he discovered that although his ghostly figure could not be resurrected with the power of hell in this strange realm, the ancient Hollows that were causing trouble also seemed to be temporarily isolated from the resurrection power of hell.

However, Higashino Shuichi, who used this move, was not having an easy time either. The pseudo-Guilty Human form of half of his body was the foundation for maintaining this area.

Since Higashino Shuichi is not a vengeful spirit and has no ability to control his pseudo-vengeful body, he is essentially missing half of his body. His strength is inevitably greatly reduced.

On the other hand, although Ikeda Yukisa's Bankai ability was sealed, it was not his Bankai ability that made him famous in the Soul Society's Rukongai.

To be honest, he only learned his Bankai after arriving in Hell.

What truly makes Yukisa Ikeda so strong is his swordsmanship.

The advantage is mine!

This was the only judgment in Ikeda Yukisa's mind.

Then, he charged at Higashino Shuichi.

However, just as he was about to rush up to Higashino Shuichi, Higashino Shuichi, who only had one eye left, looked at him coldly.

"Cockroach".

A voice devoid of emotion, a decisive action devoid of emotion.

Ikeda Yukisa felt as if a transparent glass passage had appeared in front of him.

Then it broke, along with his own legs.

As he fell, Ikeda Yukisa's raised Zanpakuto ultimately failed to strike Higashino Shuichi.

With that, Higashino Shuichi took out the Kabuto family's Seiya Basha and began calmly carving divine runes on Ikeda Kosuke's body.

This time, no ancient Hollow will bother him again.

Because no matter how many times they try to be resurrected, they will be immediately executed by the continuous Hellish Execution Song.

Similar to the ghostly figure of Ikeda Yukisa before, being in hell, it wouldn't be too difficult for Higashino Shuichi to borrow this power.

However, Higashino Shuichi estimated that if this demonic path were used outside of hell, its duration would likely decrease dramatically.

Because his body might not be able to handle it.

But that's a matter for later; at least for now, Ikeda Yukisa has absolutely no chance of turning things around.

Once the divine runes were inscribed, the matter was settled.

Higashino Shuichi released the demonic path, Hell's Execution Song.

He casually sent Ikeda Yukisa to his death.

The next moment, a brand new, lively and energetic Ikeda Kosuke reappeared.

This time, however, the divine mark that Higashino Shuichi had carved on his body with the Semi-bosha was particularly conspicuous.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this divine mark will not disappear from his body until Higashino Shuichi has completely drained his spiritual energy.

"Damn Grim Reaper! Now I know how to deal with you, come at me again!"

Upon seeing Higashino Shuichi after his resurrection, Ikeda Yukisa's first reaction was to shout for another round.

Having never seen divine markings before, he had no idea what they meant.

Higashino Shuichi did not respond to Ikeda Yukisa, nor did he even have the intention to look at him again, and turned to walk towards Kuruyashiki Kenpachi.

"How dare you! Are you underestimating me?! 卍"

Before he could even utter the word "卍解" (bankai), Ikeda Yukisa saw a spherical white creature appear before him, its gaping maw wide open.

Ugh!

In one gulp, Ikeda Yukisa was swallowed whole, and his enormous tongue happily licked his body all over.

The white, spherical creature let out a satisfied burp.

This is Kenpachi Kuruyashiki's Zanpakuto Shikai ability, Hungry Corridor!
