Chapter 231 Immature Genius
The battle between Ichimaru Gin and Hitsugaya Toshiro was very fast, and the pace became even faster after they released their Zanpakutō, causing serious damage to the battlefield.

The main thing is that Hitsugaya Toshiro's Hyorinmaru showed great power. Every time he swung the sword, the moisture in the atmosphere could turn into ice, and there were various kinds of ice.

Sometimes there were roaring ice dragons, sometimes there were groups of icicles, sometimes there were scattered ice mist, and sometimes there were overwhelming ice bombs. Hitsugaya Toshiro squandered the power of Hyorinmaru wantonly, causing great damage to the battlefield, even turning the entire venue into ice and snow. The scene was quite grand.

But facing Hitsugaya Toshiro's various ice and snow attacks, Ichimaru Gin simply pointed the tip of the magic spear at them from beginning to end, allowing it to expand and contract at a rapid speed, and then pierced, cut, and chopped off all the ice and snow, making them all return empty-handed.

Gradually, Hitsugaya Toshiro, who was obviously stronger than him, was at a disadvantage despite his immense power. He was almost stabbed by the suddenly extended divine spear several times and was nearly injured.

Seeing this scene, Aize couldn't help but shook his head.

"That guy Hitsugaya has never been able to fully grasp the power of Hyorinmaru."

As a fellow holder of Hyorinmaru, and having fully mastered the power of Hyorinmaru due to the effect of authority, Aize can easily see how poorly Hitsugaya Toshiro uses Hyorinmaru.

Not only did he fail to fully master the power of Hyorinmaru, but his way of using it was also very crude. His spiritual pressure was obviously so strong, but he only poured it into the Hyorinmaru to launch an ice and snow attack. This was not using Hyorinmaru to fight, but rather venting his own power through the ability of Hyorinmaru.

This resulted in the attack launched by Hitsugaya Toshiro appearing to be huge at first glance, with amazing momentum and power, but in fact it was weak on the inside and would break at the slightest touch, making it not difficult at all to resolve.

Gin Ichimaru's performance confirmed this point. No matter how massive the attack launched by Hitsugaya Toshiro was, he could break all of those attacks with just a retractable sword. As a result, Hitsugaya Toshiro has not made any achievements so far, and is just wasting his spiritual pressure and spiritual power.

This situation should not have happened.

The ability of the divine spear is not particularly special, nor is it particularly powerful. Logically speaking, Hyorinmaru, the strongest ice and snow Zanpakuto, should not be able to lose to it. How could it be that all the ice and snow attacks were broken by a simple retractable blade?
If it were Aize, he only needed to lightly wave the Ice Wheel Pill, and the extremely low temperature would completely freeze the blade of the magic spear. How could it be stretched back and forth at will like this?

The ice and snow he created with the Ice Wheel Pill would never be broken by the magic spear. The tip of the magic spear could only shave off a layer of ice chips at most, and it could not do anything else.

However, Hitsugaya Toshiro never got the point, and Hyorinmaru's ice and snow were easily broken by a mere magic spear, which made Aize shake his head.

"The weather was not utilized at all. What did that kid think of Hyorinmaru's most basic and powerful ability?"

Looking up at the gray sky, Aize felt helpless.

The celestial phenomena are coming. This is one of Hyorinmaru's basic abilities and also its most powerful ability.

This ability created everything about Hyorinmaru. It is said that everything in the sky is under its control, showing the power of the strongest Zanpakuto of the ice and snow system.

However, Hitsugaya Toshiro's ability is not mature at all. Not only does he fail to grasp and control it, he can't even use it a little. It's like using a magical weapon as a kitchen knife, which is a waste of God's gift.

In the hands of Toshiro Hitsugaya, it can be said that not even half of Hyorinmaru's power was exerted, and even the remaining half was not exerted well.

"Hyorinmaru has been covered in dust in his hands."

Aize couldn't help but think so.

You should know that Aze's other Zanpakuto, Ryujin Jakka, is also known as the strongest Zanpakuto of the heat type, and is of the same class as Hyourinmaru.

Because of this, Ryujin Jakka and Hyorinmaru were both given to Aize as rewards for the Fantasy Library, proving that the two were equal in status.

However, in this world, the original owner of Ryujin Jakka relied on it to become the strongest god of death, and his reputation shocked the three realms. Once his power was released, everything in the universe would be burned to ashes. If it were Bankai, the entire Soul Society might be destroyed by it.

As a Zanpakutō of the same rank, Hyourinmaru should have had such power, but due to the holder's own ability, its reputation as the strongest ice and snow Zanpakutō was not displayed at all, and it became a very ordinary ice and snow Zanpakutō.

If this isn’t dust, then what is?
"No, you can't think like that. Hitsugaya is still young after all."

Aize put aside the bad thoughts.

He realized that he was being too harsh on Hitsugaya Toushirou.

How long had he been the God of Death?

How long has it been since he mastered the Shikai?

Not everyone can fully grasp the power of a Zanpakutō the moment they touch it like he does.

In the original work, Hitsugaya Toshiro was unable to master Hyourinmaru because he was too young. On the other hand, the holder of Ryujin Jakka was a god of death who had survived for at least two thousand years. He had fought for more than two thousand years and had experienced countless battles and trials. Only then was he able to bring the power of Ryujin Jakka to its extreme.

And what about Hitsugaya Toushirou?

When the original story begins, he had been the God of Death for less than fifty years, right?

One had been the god of death for less than fifty years, while the other had been fighting for more than two thousand years. The difference in experience between the two could not be more obvious.

If Hitsugaya Toshiro was also given more than 2,000 years, considering his achievements as the youngest captain in history and the greatest genius of Soul Society in the original work, he would certainly not be much worse than the latter, right?
Thinking of this, Aize felt relieved.

only……

"In this case, that kid might really lose."

As expected, seeing that he had not been able to conquer Ichimaru Gin for a long time, Hitsugaya Toshiro began to get impatient.

"Swastika!"

He finally activated the strongest secret of his Zanpakutō and was the first to use Bankai.

"boom!"

Astonishing cold air burst out from Hitsugaya Toushirou's body, and Hitsugaya Toushirou's image also changed. Twelve ice-crystal-like red lotus petals appeared behind him, and an ice dragon appeared on his body. Its huge ice wings extended all the way to the wrist holding the knife, forming a dragon's mouth, and its feet also turned into dragon claws made of ice, causing the spiritual pressure to surge several times.

"Daigurren Hyōrinmaru!"

Hitsugaya Toshiro flapped his ice wings and rushed towards Ichimaru Gin.

"Swastika..."

Seeing this, Gin Ichimaru glanced in the direction of Aizen Sosuke without leaving a trace, and then whispered.

"God-killing gun!"

In an instant, the blade of the Zanpakuto in Gin Ichimaru's hand became extremely short, and an incredibly powerful slash appeared on the trajectory of the blade, cutting the earth apart.

"Oh, both of them used Bankai."

"Those two people can use Bankai as expected."

"Is this genius?"

"Two talented captains..."

The captains immediately started discussing.

"Then the Bankai of these two people seem to be of the same type, right?"

Aize thought so.

Zanpakutō's Bankai is somewhat similar to the forbidden hand form of a sacred weapon. Once used, there will basically be three changes.

1: Strengthen existing capabilities.

2. Acquire new skills.

3: Transform into a completely different ability.

Zanpakutō's Bankai can basically be divided into these three situations, and some may have multiple situations at the same time.

Hyorinmaru's Bankai belongs to the first case. Its original ice and snow abilities are further enhanced, and its control and domination over cold air, water vapor and weather will become stronger, which can be regarded as an all-round improvement.

The same is true for Byakuya Kuchiki's Senbonzakura. The number of blades has increased dramatically, as has the number of slashes, and the original ability has been greatly enhanced.

As for Ichimaru Gin, when he uses his Divine Spear Bankai, everything around him will be cut in an instant, and the slashing attack has great impact and cutting power. His ability is still the free extension and retraction of the blade, but the limit of the extension is no longer a hundred times that of the Divine Spear, but thirteen kilometers.

At the same time, the God-Killing Spear's extension and retraction speed will become five hundred times the speed of sound, so that the power of one extension is so great that it can cut through several buildings at once. That astonishing extension and retraction speed is equivalent to declaring that once a person is pointed at by the tip of the God-Killing Spear, that person is finished and there is absolutely no way he can dodge it, nor can he survive.

At first glance, this ability also seems to belong to the first case, further strengthening the original ability to make the Zanpakutō even stronger.

At least, this was the case with Ichimaru Gin's Zanpakutō's Bankai before he revealed the power of the God Killing Spear.

And it was obvious that Gin Ichimaru did not intend to show more here. He just pointed the tip of the God Killing Spear at Hitsugaya Toshiro and activated its most basic ability - extension.

So... the battle was over.

"choke!"

When an extremely fast knife light appeared in this space, the entire world of ice and snow was cut off.

"Pfft!"

Before anyone could react, the blade pierced through Hitsugaya Toshiro's shoulder and cut the ice wings behind him in half.

"What……?"

Hitsugaya Toshiro's downward diving posture froze, his face full of disbelief.

"I'm sorry, Hitsugaya-san."

There was no smile on Gin Ichimaru's face, and his apology seemed insincere. When he stood up straight, the Zanpakutō in his hand had returned to its original size.

The captains' faces suddenly became solemn.

Because they couldn't see clearly when the blade of the God-Killing Spear retracted.

The same was true when it was stretching, the speed was so fast that no one could see it.

A flash of blood suddenly appeared on Hitsugaya Toshiro's shoulder, and blood gushed out, causing him to fall from mid-air and fall to the ground.

The winner was thus revealed.

The person who ultimately won and became the captain of the Tenth Division was none other than the vice-captain of the Fifth Division, Gin Ichimaru.
