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

Chapter 346, page 355: Considerations for the Three-in-One Approach
At this moment, it was not only Genryusai Shigekuni who witnessed the afterimage of the past.

When Yhwach saw the figure wreathed in flames, slowly emerging like a demon...

At that moment, a pair of thick, dark eyebrows stood up uncontrollably.

Memories I absolutely hate.

"A restless spirit..."

Why can't they just disappear quietly?
Even though he came here today to sever ties with the past, all the phenomena and everything that is happening now make Yhwach feel an urge to grit his teeth.

The past light and shadow have not disappeared at all; on the contrary, they are intensifying at this moment.

Annoyed, angry...

All these emotions surged within my chest, as if my intestines were being churned together.

This caused the enraged tyrant to widen his eyes slightly and then let out a loud shout.

"Ignorant brat!!!"

His right hand swung down heavily.

The crescent moon appeared overhead, radiating unparalleled brilliance.

Arrows of light, like a torrential downpour, rained down from the sky, washing over the ground as if to wash away all evil and disdain in an exaggerated way.

Yhwach gazed down at everything before him from his elevated position.

His expression was extremely ferocious.

He's just a guy who's less than a tenth of my age.

Life, experience, knowledge... what is something worth showing off?

Why……

"Even if I lower myself to recruit such lowlifes, are you still determined to completely destroy me?!"

King of Spirits!

Just how far are you going to humiliate me?!
The surge of emotion directly translated into the manifestation of power at that moment.

The increasingly dense rain of arrows cleansed the entire land.

The old man from the mountain, who had previously remained a bystander, now seized Chojiro Sasaki, just like his personal guards had done before...

A relatively safe distance was created.

"Lord Yuan Liuzhai, there's no such thing as Lord Ma..."

"Don't be impatient."

It's not that I'm not worried.

Even at this moment, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's anxiety was no less than that of his subordinates.

But those in high positions must have confidence.

not to mention……

He was also able to truly experience the changes on the other side by feeling his Zanpakuto.

No problem.

And so on... it hasn't even reached its limit yet.

As if confirming Yamamoto's thoughts, in this azure sea that seemed to be washing away sins and prompting self-reflection, suddenly, abruptly...

It revealed a bright and vivid golden color.

It twisted and stood out, stubborn as a mountain rock, standing tall and proud in place amidst this force, bearing all the pressure.

Until the process of spreading began.

fire.

It inherently possesses an absolutely powerful 'infectious' quality.

At this moment, it displays an absolutely undeniable presence.

Brilliant flames flickered and burst forth, scattering everywhere like a rebellious army rising up in a desperate charge!

The azure sea boiled in an instant.

The raging fire completely engulfed and melted away the holy light.

The rising heat and light seemed to caress Yhwach's clothes, forcing him to keep his distance...

That's how they managed to preserve their clothing and appearance.

"..."

The silent tyrant stared intently at the man walking amidst the flames.

The same.

Whether it's strength, imposing presence, or methods, sensory perception...

The sword demon from a thousand years ago seemed to have come back to life at this moment.

Yhwach felt a sudden tightness in his chest, his brow furrowed involuntarily, and he raised his right hand.

I pressed it down gently.

Where does this uneasy premonition come from?

Like the palpitations of someone on the verge of death, Yhwach couldn't help but recall that bloody night a thousand years ago.

impossible.

He subconsciously responded to his own guess.

For Yhwach at this moment, there was absolutely no possibility of defeat—his opponent was merely a microcosm of the past, a villain who relied on Yamamoto's power.

Having accumulated thousands of years of experience and learned from so many mistakes, I have made such preparations.

How could they possibly lose in a place like this?
Yhwach saw the figure below crouch slightly, then suddenly stomped his foot on the ground and shot up like a rocket, charging towards him...

At this moment, he also revealed a rather ferocious expression.

Come on, let's keep fighting.

Let me settle the grudges from a thousand years ago and put an end to the failures of the past.

The two figures collided violently.

Bright yellow and azure blue clashed and intertwined violently in the air, and a series of intense buzzing sounds came from above Soul Society, completely shattering the thunderclouds that had been gathering.

However, the rainwater does not disappear in this way.

Soon... a series of torrential rains engulfed the entire Soul Society.

The water curtain, which stretched to the horizon, enveloped everything, yet it could not conceal the immense spiritual pressure.

They are currently engaged in combat.

It is currently in a period of rest and recuperation.

Even those who are critically injured...

Regardless of camp, right or wrong, or origin.

Both the Shinigami and the Quincy reacted in unison at this moment.

They all raised their heads.

Beneath the sky of the Soul Society, two people are currently engaged in a frenzied battle... The immense spiritual pressure, as vast as an abyss, is tearing at each other, displaying an extremely terrifying sense of power.

Omaeda, who was treating Soi Fon's injuries, nervously raised his eyes. His gaze was as cautious as if he were a thief, and he seemed hesitant to speak.

Although Soi Fon was also looking up at the sky, she seemed to be able to read her subordinate's mind and spoke without turning her head.

"Hurry up and bandage it... Once you're done, come with me."

where to go?
The answer is self-evident.

This is naturally the best 'viewing point' for this battle!

at the same time.

The Fifth Division's barracks were also in complete chaos.

Hirako Shinji, already overwhelmed with work, grinned as he directed his team members to treat the wounded. His expression was full of impatience, yet also a deep sense of helplessness.

No way.

Someone has to do these things.

To make matters worse, we can't get in touch with the Fourth Division at a time like this... It's driving me crazy!

And then again...

"Where did Peach go?!"

On the verge of collapse, Hirako Shinji let out a desperate cry, but this commotion did not last long.

Because another guy who was rushing by seemed quite unhappy with his slacking off, he took a moment to lift his leg... and kicked him horizontally!
bump! ! !
Hirako Shinji flew headfirst out, skimming the ground for several meters before finally crashing to the ground, limp and lifeless.

The dignified captain of the Fifth Division was now looking like a petty thug picking a fight, which was both pitiful and poignant to see.

Clutching the wound on his face, Hirako Shinji staggered to his feet and began shouting again. "You...you actually attacked me...do you even know what you're doing?!"

The latter didn't take it seriously at all, and just glanced at him with considerable contempt.

"Of course I know! But he's just a captain, right? He's similar to us Espada, isn't he? Anyway, I'm not under your system, so don't try to intimidate me with that kind of thing!"

Nelielu du Odeschavank.

The former Espada No. 3, with the help of Shizuya Arima and the research of Mayuri Kurotsuchi, has now recovered her cracked Arrancar and gained the ability to freely change her form.

As an indispensable fighting force, she was also assigned to the Soul Society's operations.

As a member of the squad, her mission was to work together with Shinji Hirako and others... However, judging from the results, it seems that neither side was very satisfied with the outcome.

This is what it means when people don't like each other.

Hirako Shinji didn't seem to have any good feelings towards these Arrancars. Now that he had suffered a loss, he started muttering to himself.

Saying things like "I'll make you pay later" and "Just you wait and see" made the veins pop out on the head of the already not-so-gentle "Antelope Knight".

The onlookers were horrified; no one wanted to see their own people fighting amongst themselves at a time like this…

They all stepped forward to explain.

"Vice-Captain Hinamori Momo left just now..."

"We saw the vice-captain leave in this direction."

"Now... it's probably too late to catch up, isn't it?"

This direction?

Shinji Hirako rubbed his swollen cheek and looked in the direction the other person was pointing.

Seemingly understanding something, he silently glanced up at the sky. Once again, he witnessed the two sides locked in battle, tearing at each other.

He seemed to sigh helplessly.

"...That idiot."

Nel had arranged the whereabouts of the wounded and stepped forward, standing beside Hirako Shinji.

She also looked up at the sky, her gaze uncontrollably drawn to the battle between the two.

"This battle... Lord Arima can win, right?"

Hirako Shinji gave a light, crisp "heh."

"Did he just call me 'sir' directly? That guy seems to be having a pretty good time in Hueco Mundo~"

"You! Don't you dare talk to Lord Arima so rudely!"

The worship of power is innate to the virtual.

Moreover, the other party also possesses a portion of a 'virtual soul'.

He not only helped himself, but also became the founder of the Hueco Mundo order.

As a native, Nel's beliefs share many similarities with those of Herribel.

That is why she respects Arima Shizuya so much.

Hirako Shinji glanced at her subtly, then looked away, gently pressing the gradually healing wounds on his face.

"Well... I'm speaking from the perspective of the Grim Reaper."

"So I really hope Arima can win."

"But... sometimes things just don't go as planned."

Nilu looked to her side, seemingly confused and puzzled by Hirako Shinji's disheartening remarks.

But soon.

The facts at that moment proved the other party's idea to be correct; there was no problem at all.

Accompanied by a loud roar.

The bright yellow ball of light was abruptly pulled away and bounced rapidly down from the sky...

From a distance, the two could only see the light and shadows that shot out like bullets, which, upon landing, stirred up a surging cloud of dust as large as a mountain.

They landed, but not as victors.

This is……

Nilu's pupils contracted involuntarily.

Does this mean that Shizuka Arima is also at a disadvantage?
"But this shouldn't be happening..."

"What's wrong?"

Nilu quickly organized her thoughts, and finally said with a slight frown.

"Isn't Lord Arima using the Zanpakuto of your strongest Shinigami right now? If that's the case, there's no way he could have lost!"

The ultimate Arrancar, a Quincy of elite status, the strongest Shinigami blade.

With these three forces combined in her body, Nel couldn't even imagine what it would be like for Arima Shizuka to be defeated.

However, Hirako Shinji could.

His lips were slightly pursed, as if he felt utterly helpless... and he sighed softly at that moment.

"The problem arose because we picked up this knife."

……

"Cough, cough, cough..."

A short cough escaped from the corner of her mouth, and Shizuka Arima slowly stood up from the ruins, looking disheveled.

The dullness in his body was very obvious. Although there were no visible injuries, the depletion of his spiritual pressure was real.

I made a simple adjustment to my state and determined my situation.

They are still able to fight.

However... given this ebb and flow trend, if no opportunity to reverse it can be found, then defeat is only a matter of time.

"How ugly, Shizuya Arima."

Yhwach's voice often came from in front of me.

Arima Shizuka calmly raised her gaze and stared at the other person.

Bathed in azure light, Yhwach's hands were raised in a gesture of support... At this moment, Yhwach was like a god descended to earth, exuding an undeniable sense of divinity.

but.

His words, however, truly shattered this strange atmosphere.

Hey……

The corners of his mouth rose uncontrollably.

This performance itself signifies Yhwach's control over the current situation and his delighted state of mind.

I initially thought it was just the afterimage of a departed soul, but in reality...

But it was merely Yhwach's one-sided fantasy.

"You think you can defeat me without using your full strength?"

"What arrogance... Even Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni back then had to pay the price with the lives of his comrades..."

"And you? You don't want to sacrifice anything? Such greed is truly pathetic."

Even more.

Yhwach still had the energy to act provocatively at that moment.

"How about I give you a chance?"

"Ten seconds...to unleash the power of the Broken Blade."

"How about a race against time to the death?"

call……

Azure orbs of light appeared on Yhwach's hands, burning with flames like sacred fire... illuminating his face.

"Will your flames burn me to ashes first? Or will you evaporate the entire Soul Society first?"

"..."

Shizuka Arima did not respond.

It's less of a challenge and more of a mockery.

The Zanka Blade in its purest form might be able to defeat this tyrant from a thousand years in the future, but if it comes at the cost of the Soul Society, then it is completely meaningless.

Therefore...

We need to remember his method.

Fortunately, Ma Jing also made preparations, and there was much more to it than just that.
