Bleach: The Captain of the Fifth Division Becomes Stronger Through Training.

Chapter 275 Chapter 274: Swastika versus Swastika
Bankai.

Literally a last resort.

It is the manifestation used by the god of death to defend against enemies, releasing the soul to the extreme.

Among them, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's methods are the most important.

For a thousand years... no matter what kind of enemies or opponents he encountered, the old man Yama had never chosen to release his Zanpakutō to this extent.

In the eyes of others, this behavior may be weakness, or it may be a symbol of the person's old age.

But no matter how many rumors there are, they cannot affect his mind even a little bit.

Because only the person involved, or those who have followed him for a long time, can understand.

The power of this Zanpakutō is enough to destroy the world.

If it wasn't a life-or-death crisis, or a time of collapse, Yamamoto would not be willing to use his power.

And now that he has demonstrated his ability, it also means another thing.

——Arima Shizuya, his existence has indeed reached a level that the captain-general needs to use his real skills to deal with.

Bankai.

hiss……

The next moment after the captain murmured.

Time seemed to stop at this moment, and Arima Shizuka could also feel an invisible force field gradually spreading and distorting the surrounding things.

A slightly awkward feeling came over him, and he frowned slightly, subconsciously trying to adjust his posture at this moment.

But at the moment when he was about to take action, he heard a clear echo.

Crack.

It seems like something has cracked?
It was not until she felt a little warmth on her lips that Arima Shizuka came back to her senses, raised her hand and touched her lips.

"..."

There was a tiny wound at the corner of the lower lip.

It is not caused by some kind of attack, but a normal physiological phenomenon caused by changes in the external environment.

The lips become dry and cracked due to lack of moisture.

Dry and hot.

It was as if all the moisture in the air was stripped away and evaporated. Arima Shizuka could also feel the obvious heat spreading in all directions.

An invisible strong wind began to blow, and like water being caught in a whirlpool, the air began to roll back and surge towards the direction of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

Being able to feel...

This is not the ability of Zanpakutō.

It is simply a natural reaction caused by a state of liberation.

What's more, it's not just in the place where the two of them are confronting each other - even at this moment, there is the spirit particle barrier set up and reinforced by Aizen Sosuke.

The people outside still felt the changes clearly.

The first person to notice the abnormality was Ukitake Jushiro. His coughing symptoms became much more severe, so much so that the others standing beside him all showed concerned expressions.

"Captain Ukitake, are you okay?!"

"Cough, cough, cough... I, I'm fine..."

It was not because the symptoms worsened, but simply because the dryness of the air caused a chain reaction in the throat.

The captain and deputy captain of the second squad who landed beside him had different reactions.

Soi-Fong wiped the sweat from her face. Although her expression was still alert, she also had an indescribable feeling of doubt.

By comparison.

Omaeda was more straightforward. He began to breathe heavily and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his face uncontrollably.

"Captain! Are you feeling the heat getting hotter?!"

"..."

Soi-Fong did not respond - for things that she herself had no idea about, she always responded with silence.

Ukitake Jushiro, who was helped to stand up, had slightly sunken eyes.

He looked around weakly, his lips pressed into a line out of nervousness.

Still here.

"Teacher, do we really have to go to this extent..."

At the same time, the whispers like talking to oneself cannot reach the ears of the person concerned.

On the other side, Ise Nanao fainted because she couldn't bear the impact of the spiritual pressure.

At the moment, he is being looked after by Kyoraku Shunsui.

He separated his spiritual power and formed it into an umbrella that could protect him from wind and rain, completely shielding the power that was falling from the sky.

The captain of the 8th Division had a look of melancholy on his face.

I wanted to tell Master San before that he should not get serious about it... After all, this Zanpakutō is too indistinguishable from friend or foe.

Looking at Ise Nanao who curled up into a ball and began to breathe heavily uncontrollably.

Kyoraku Shunsui had no other expression except helplessness.

Pulling his hat down, he could only pray in his heart at this moment.

Please end the battle as soon as possible, Mr. Shan.

Otherwise... before the opponent is exterminated, the other members of the Gotei 13 will be evaporated alive first.

at the same time.

It's not just fake Karakura Town.

Even though they were in the outside world, in the real world, Urahara Kisuke and others who were responsible for maintaining the barrier could clearly feel the changes.

sunshine……

It was becoming increasingly dazzling and terrifying for no reason.

The former great demon priest, Wuling Tessai, was maintaining the structure and energy of the barrier with a nervous expression. Urahara Kisuke, who was standing next to him, had a frown on his face, with none of his usual playful expression.

I can't be happy.

Xiaoyu in the shop timidly held up the measuring instrument, and at this moment she trotted up to Urahara Kisuke and whispered.

"The temperature in this world... has risen by 2 degrees Celsius in the past fifteen seconds..."

There was a brief silence.

Then, Urahara Kisuke stretched out his right hand and gently patted the other person's head.

"Thank you for your hard work. Please continue to observe... Don't be afraid, we will find a way to solve it."

It seems that there is no more appropriate solution at the moment except words of comfort.

The adjective "helpless" itself should not appear to Urahara Kisuke. However, at this moment, he is indeed helpless about the current situation...

There is no doubt that what the Gotei 13 did was an act of justice.

however.

In terms of results.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni seems to be gradually complicating things... Maybe this is just a civil war.

Or perhaps, this is a disaster facing the three realms.

And on the other side.

Looking at Ulquiorra who fell in front of him, Ichigo Kurosaki calmly removed the Hollow Armor that was wrapped around his body.

"Do you still want to continue fighting?"

Covered in bruises.

Even half of his body had been crushed and collapsed softly...

But even so, Ulquiorra still maintained a calm attitude, because his neck was injured and he could no longer move.

He couldn't even turn his head to observe Ichigo Kurosaki's location.

"..."

The sky of Hueco Mundo remains unchanged and has no value at all.

At this moment, Wu Laosi's brain was also engaged in a fierce struggle.

It is his duty to protect the Kyonyakū Palace, to keep an eye on Inoue Orihime and not let anyone take her away... This is the order from Aizen Sosuke.

It is something that I must protect even at the risk of my life.

However, Arima Shizuya's advice should not be ignored.

If you can’t win, should you give up?

I don't understand the meaning of doing this... A beast with broken limbs can no longer hunt, and will naturally be eliminated by the environment and become food for other predators. Do you still expect others to help you? This kind of thing is really too unrealistic.

If you lose your value, you should die.

But... everything that Arima Shizuka said on a daily basis also came to mind one by one at this moment.

Arrancars should also have their own lives and find the reason for the meaning of life... Don't they want to die?
It seems that just by staying alive, something can change.

Staring blankly at the sky of Hueco Mundo, Ulquiorra opened his mouth slightly and uttered a few short words in a flat voice.

"No need, you already won."

Admitting defeat is another form of compromise.

Just by hearing these words, Ichigo Kurosaki's originally serious expression relaxed immediately.

He turned his head to look beside him, nodded, and wanted to say something.

But a figure had already rushed up and knelt down beside Wu Laosi.

It's Inoue Orihime.

"Woman, what are you doing..."

"I'm going to heal you!"

The firm tone reveals a will that will not be shaken by others.

"Mr. Ulquiorra has no ill will towards me, and I don't want to see you get hurt like this... But I'm sorry, I have my reasons for having to leave here."

Since the conflict in ideas cannot be compromised, Orihime Inoue will not dwell too much on it.

Arima Shizuka's teaching during this period has indeed changed her a lot.

Looking at the power symbolizing rejection manifesting in his body, Ulquiorra stared at Inoue Orihime calmly and suddenly said.

"Aren't you afraid that I might suddenly change my mind?"

"You can't possibly do such a thing!"

Inoue Orihime's expression was firm. She bit her lower lip slightly, as if she was concentrating on maintaining her strength.

"And even if you regret it... Kurosaki-kun can beat you down again!"

Simple and plain emotions.

Not to kill, but to subdue.

Ulquiorra looked at the generous smile that Ichigo Kurosaki gave him, was silent for a moment, and finally closed his eyes.

The careless person gives up thinking.

After all the treatments were completed, Unohana Retsu, who was not far away, also rushed here.

"Kurosaki-kun, the battle in the real world is still going on. Do you want to get involved as well?"

The judgment of the captain of the Fourth Division also makes sense - among the currently known combat forces, Ichigo Kurosaki is the only remaining high-level combat force who has not yet been affected by Aizen's illusion.

Proper use of this combat power is also something that the captain needs to consider.

"Of course I want to go!"

The reconstructed black cavity opened again, and Unohana Retsu rushed in first, but at the same time showed a surprised expression.

"What's wrong, Captain Unohana?"

"…We need to speed up, Mr. Kurosaki."

After a pause, she emphasized.

"The battle over there has entered a white-hot stage."

……

Because of the appearance of the Zanka Sword, too many things and people were affected at this moment.

The person involved, Shizuya Arima, is also within the scope.

He regained his consciousness slightly, and stared at the front at this moment...

Later, Arima Jing also saw it.

A pale world.

Wisps of air were twisted by the fiery stance, and everything was constantly turning and deforming.

The source of all these changes comes from what Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni holds in his hand...

That inconspicuous long blade.

Compared to the initial form of Ryujin Jakka, this one goes a step further, and the weapon that appears in the Bankai form is obviously more "low-key".

It's hard to describe what that thing is like.

Is it a knife?
That would seem too 'broken'... There is not even a trace of sharpness on the blade, but instead there are strange rust-like patterns all over it.

So, is it a collection just for viewing?
Nor is it.

Even though it was only the first complete contact, just by "witnessing" the other person's appearance at this moment, the alarm bells in Arima Shizuka's head were whistling sharply.

Extremely dangerous, deadly threat!
"Swastika, residual fire sword."

"I can seal all the flames of Ryujin Jakka until they are accumulated and formed in the sword... Such a simple ability is my Bankai."

"Anyone struck by this blade will, without exception, be engulfed by the boiling flames until they are wiped out."

State the facts in an objective sense in a plain tone.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's expression did not show any sense of sadness or joy, as if he was not the one in the confrontation at the moment, but some kind of high-dimensional observer from above.

"My ability is quite simple, but at the same time, it has its own unique properties."

"That is the flame that I have accumulated through my continuous training over the years. It will be brewed without limit in it, making it more explosive and hotter."

"The last time I freed it was a thousand years ago, when I faced an old enemy."

Raise your hand.

He held the broken fire sword horizontally in front of him.

The old man's eyes were as calm as a lake. He seemed to be looking at Arima Shizuya, but at the same time...

His gaze seemed to penetrate the other person's body at the same time and see something more distant.

"My body will decay, my spirit will fail."

"But practice is the only thing that will never betray you."

"All the hard work I have put into my training so far is here, and my energy and spirit are also here..."

There is Ma Jingye.

"Do you have the confidence to take on this old man's attack?"

Ask questions.

Are you expecting a response? Or are you simply talking to yourself?

Arima Shizuka didn't know either, but no matter what, he needed to give a corresponding response at this moment.

"Indeed, it is a very powerful Zanpakutō..."

It has no fancy abilities, but is a typical example of simply stacking numbers, and has taken this feature to the extreme.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's Zanpakutō was not naturally powerful.

He needed time to accumulate experience, and he also needed to practice day and night to refine his own flame...

Like an instrument that has been tempered through thousands of blows in a furnace.

The curvature and sharpness of the blade are exactly the criss-crossing scars on the old man's body.

Keep hammering, forging... and stacking!
When accumulated to the extreme, it becomes the ultimate interpretation of power.

So, can I really withstand this power? Arima Jing also asked herself at this moment, and her expression became a little subtle in an instant.

Honestly speaking...

"I am still quite confident."

It's not groundless confidence.

Rather, it comes from a certain sense of confidence that "everything is under control."

Come and don't go indecent.

At this moment, Arima Shizuka also raised the Sugara Dragon in his hand, turned the blade downward, and his tone was filled with confidence.

"Swastika."

"The Eight Immortals: The Celestial Beings."

Swastika solution versus Swastika solution.

This was the Battle of Tianwang Mountain.

It is also the peak of the Gotei 13 today!
