I'm in Bleach, starting with Unlimited Blade Works.

This was the first time Erin had used the Shikai ability of his Zanpakuto after it had been upgraded.

And this effect greatly satisfied Erin.

However, this is not the limit of the King's Treasury.

As Erin thought, a dozen more golden spatial ripples appeared behind him.

Then, within these golden spatial ripples, countless Zanpakuto transformed into golden lightning bolts, raining down on Zaraki like a storm.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

"Hahahahaha..."

Faced with such attacks, most people would probably be terrified.

However, Zaraki's laughter became even more cheerful.

Compared to opponents I can never hit, it feels pretty good to fight these Zanpakuto.

However, Zaraki is not the kind of person who is willing to take a beating without fighting back.

So, after Erin increased the power of his Zanpakuto, Zaraki also began to slash at the rain of Zanpakuto attacking him, charging towards Erin.

However, under the barrage of attacks from dozens of Zanpakuto, Zaraki's advance was not very fast.

Chapter 133 I was obviously the one who came first

……

"Buzzing..."

Seeing that the attacks of more than thirty Zanpakuto could not stop Zaraki's advance, Erin had a thought. Instantly, golden spatial ripples appeared in the air, turning the sky behind Erin gold.

The number has exceeded one hundred.

Zaraki's strength far surpasses that of some captains who have achieved Bankai; a dozen or so captain-level Zanpakuto pose little threat to him.

However, when the number of these attacks exceeded one hundred...

Beneath the golden ripples, these Zanpakuto transformed into streaks of golden lightning, raining down upon Zaraki like a torrential downpour.

The earth collapsed, and the mountains crumbled.

The attack, combining 128 Zanpakuto in one place, completely destroyed the location where Zaraki was standing, creating a mushroom cloud a hundred meters high.

Then, a powerful shockwave spread, and all the rocks that had been thrown into the air were turned into dust by this powerful shockwave.

then……

"boom!"

The Shinigami of the Eleventh Division, upon seeing the mushroom cloud hundreds of meters high erected by the explosion, all unleashed their spiritual pressure with considerable experience.

The new team members didn't know why they were doing this, but since everyone else was doing it, they figured they could just follow suit.

As a result, a powerful shockwave spread out. Fortunately, the Shinigami members all unleashed their spiritual pressure, and since they were far from the center of the battle, no one was blown away by the shockwave.

"Hahahahahaha..."

A burst of maniacal laughter erupted from the explosion, followed by a golden slash that cleaved the mushroom cloud in two. Blood-soaked Zaraki flew out from the very center of the explosion, rapidly approaching Erin.

Even someone as strong as Zaraki was injured by the attack of over a hundred Zanpakuto.

Erin's heart stirred, and from among the more than one hundred golden spatial ripples, the tips of Zanpakuto emerged again.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

Like lightning, these Zanpakuto transformed into golden lightning and struck Zaraki once more.

However, this time the attack was not concentrated in one place like the last one, but was scattered in a well-organized manner to completely block Zaraki's movements.

Under such circumstances, Zaraki must deal with attacks from three to five Zanpakuto at the same time.

Wielding his Zanpakuto, almost every instant, bursts of blood would erupt from Zaraki's body.

Even so, Zaraki did not stop his charge toward Erin, rushing toward Erin step by step amidst the hail of swords and spears.

"Hahahahaha..."

As his injuries worsened, Zaraki's strength was not weakened; on the contrary, an even more powerful spiritual pressure erupted from him, further increasing his power.

Seeing this, Erin waved his hand, and the golden spatial ripples behind him dissipated.

It seems that ordinary Zanpakuto pose little threat to Zaraki unless more than a hundred are thrown at once.

So, what about this?

A spatial ripple, even larger than before, appeared behind Erin.

Emerging from the golden ripples in the space was the tip of a spear.

This is a Zanpakuto of the Seat Rank that has already been released from its inherent barrier.

"call out!"

A flash of golden light, and the spear was already upon Gengmu.

"clang!"

Zaraki's Zanpakuto struck the tip of the spear, unleashing a powerful shockwave.

A large section of the ground collapsed, centered on where Zaraki was standing.

Then, the spear pressed against Zaraki's Zanpakuto, carrying immense force, and slammed Zaraki deep into the ground.

"Rumble..."

For a moment, the earth seemed to fall silent.

Then, the ground churned, and a powerful shockwave erupted from a depth of 100 meters underground. Countless dust particles were swept up by this powerful shockwave and shot straight into the sky, forming a 100-meter-high "sand waterfall".

"This power..."

Seeing the power of this spear, Erin nodded silently in his heart.

It seems that releasing the Zanpakuto before projecting it will greatly enhance the power of a Zanpakuto of the Seat Rank.

I just don't know how it differs in power from a captain-level Zanpakuto that hasn't been unleashed.

But this test also made Erin realize that, under the projection ability of the Gate of Babylon, the power that some weak Zanpakuto can unleash might be several times stronger than the power of elemental or Kido-type Zanpakuto thrown out.

After all, the power of the Gate of Babylon's throwing weapons is absolutely related to the speed and weight of the Zanpakuto.

Given the same speed, the heavier the weapon, the greater its power.

After dissipating the golden spatial ripples behind him, Erin instantly moved to the location of Gengmu amidst the swirling yellow sand.

At this moment, Zaraki's body was covered in numerous wounds, and his right hand, which was holding the Zanpakuto, was severely twisted and completely unusable.

A black spear, pressed against Zaraki's Zanpakuto, grazed Zaraki's body and was driven into the very center of the deep pit.

Fortunately, this is the case, as Zaraki's current injuries are mostly due to the power unleashed when the Zanpakuto touched the ground.

If this spear were to pierce through Gengmu directly, and then the immense power were to erupt within Gengmu's body, then Gengmu might truly be doomed.

A green glow emanated from Erin's hand, healing Zaraki's injuries.

Soon, with Erin's treatment, Zaraki regained consciousness.

"I... lost again?"

It's clear that Zaraki is somewhat bewildered by the fact that he lost this battle.

"Ah, it was your carelessness, Genki."

Erin nodded: "If you were wielding the sword with both hands, you might be able to hold out for a few more rounds."

"However, I'm curious, Genki. Just how arrogant do you have to be to think you can withstand my attack with a sword wielded in one hand?"

Zaraki tilted his head, not answering Erin's question.

Who knew that the power of this attack would be so much stronger than the attacks of the previous Zanpakuto?

"Alright, I'm going back now, Genki."

"I've stabilized your injuries for now. Go to the Fourth Division and ask Captain Unohana to treat your wounds."

"In the next ten years, focus on improving your swordsmanship, Zaraki."

"Otherwise, the outcome of the next decade of fighting will not change."

"Right now, you don't even have the qualifications to break through the seal of my Zanpakuto and face me directly..."

……

Lying on the Fourth Division's hospital bed, Erin's image resurfaced in Zaraki's mind.

And, the last thing Erin said.

Indeed, in the last decade, when that man used dual swordsmanship without unleashing his Zanpakuto, he fought that man for a long time before being defeated.

This time, the man finally unleashed his Zanpakuto in his battle with himself.

Just like his first battle with Erin, Zaraki realized the vast gap in strength between himself and Erin.

Just as that man said, even if he unleashed his Zanpakuto, he wouldn't be able to withstand more than a few hits from the intensity of the final attack.

Not to mention, this is just a weapon.

Zaraki didn't believe that Erin could only unleash one attack of that level at a time.

More likely, like the previous attacks, it can unleash dozens or even hundreds of attacks simultaneously.

"I need to become stronger."

After stretching his hands, Zaraki got out of bed and walked straight towards the Fourth Division.

After circling around the Fourth Division's base a few times, Zaraki simply slapped one of the Fourth Division's Shinigami into the air.

"Hey, where's the captain of your Fourth Division?"

"Huh? Captain Zaraki, I... I don't know! I'm just an ordinary member of the Fourth Division. Where is Captain Unohana? I really don't know..."

Faced with Zaraki, a ferocious "beast," the members of the Fourth Division, who were lifted up like chickens by Zaraki, were so frightened that they almost cried.

"Tch, there really isn't any."
