Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

“Are you here?!”

Upon hearing the news, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, the captain of the 13th Squad, casually put down the wooden sword he used for training and took the 'Ryujin Jakka' from a fellow squad member.

"An assassination attempt?"

Chojiro Sasaki followed closely beside Yamamoto, looking thoughtfully at the Zanpakuto he gripped tightly in his hand.

The Sixth Division barracks.

"Oh! Oh! It's time to let the name of Saito Immortal resound throughout Soul Society!"

Upon receiving the message, the immortal Saito was in high spirits. She would use a war to show the Soul Society who the strongest woman in the Soul Society was.

Meanwhile, the Second Division, the Third Division, the Fourth Division, the Fifth Division, the Seventh Division, the Eighth Division...

All the captains of the Gotei 13 gripped their Zanpakuto tightly! As the saying goes, 'With a sharp weapon in hand, the will to kill arises!' The great villains of the Gotei 13 were ready to slaughter.

On this day, dark clouds shrouded Seireitei.

A light drizzle heralded the start of a war between the Quincy and the Shinigami, a war in which they could never reconcile, a war of life or death.

"Om~"

The sky seemed to be sounding the horn of 'revelation'.

The radiant Holy Star Cross, under the guidance of their glorious Empire of Light, a king who seemed like a true god and an 'omniscient and omnipotent' ruler, finally set foot in this world where only the dead souls could tread.

The knights on the expedition firmly believed that their emperor would not only become the 'King' of the present world, but also unify the 'Soul World' and 'Hueco Mundo'! He would become the true ruler of the three worlds!

The war has begun!

The battle begins in the next chapter~ And please vote for me!

Chapter 34: All-Out War Breaks Out!

Outside Seireitei...

Countless Quincy emerged from the gate spanning the two worlds, gathering outside the four gates guarding the Seireitei...

The man standing at the head of the Quincy, dressed in a black trench coat, was none other than Yhwach, the great emperor who ruled the Quincy's 'Empire of Light'!

"Your Majesty, everything is proceeding according to your plan!"

"After the four gates are breached, we will immediately investigate the internal structure of Seireitei..."

Beside Yhwach, a handsome young man bowed slightly to their supreme emperor and spoke respectfully.

"Yes! Remember your mission!"

"Everything you possess will become the 'foundation' upon which I ascend to the highest position!"

Yhwach's expression was stern. He nodded slightly to the boy, then looked at the large group of followers in front of him and spoke in a deep voice.

"I obey your Majesty's orders!"

In an instant, the Quincy dressed in white knightly attire almost simultaneously offered their boundless respect to their supreme emperor.

The next second, arrows made of spirit particles rained down on the gates of Seireitei!

Meanwhile, the First Division barracks of the Seireitei Gotei 1.

"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, the enemy has appeared at Baidao Gate!"

"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, enemy forces have also been spotted at Qingliu Gate, Heileng Gate, and Zhuwa Gate! The soldiers stationed at these gates have suffered heavy casualties..."

"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, the enemy calls themselves subjects of the 'Empire of Light,' and they will use bows and arrows composed of spiritual particles to fight..."

"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, we have confirmed the enemy's identity... The enemy is the Quincy!"

One after another, the Shinigami soldiers, dressed in their Shinigami uniforms, shuttled between the First Division and the other divisions, reporting the current situation in Seireitei to Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, who wielded his 'blade,' and to the leaders of each division.

"bump!"

Upon learning that the enemy was indeed a Quincy, Yamamoto used his Zanpakuto as a cane and slammed it heavily onto the ground with a dull thud.

"Enough! We can't let those guys keep causing this destruction!"

Yamamoto's loud shout silenced the entire Gotei 11.

Compared to Yamamoto, who always sits in the First Division a thousand years later, serving as a 'symbol of protection' to stabilize the morale of the Thirteenth Division.

Yamamoto's personality has become more unrestrained, and his temper more volatile. In Yamamoto's view, it would be better to take the initiative and attack than to stay in the First Division to stabilize morale...

Coincidentally, the captains of the other divisions of the Gotei 13 thought the same thing, and in an instant, the soldiers of each division were all ready to go under the orders of their captains!

As Yhwach later said, the Seireitei at present is less a guard protecting the Seireitei and more a killer group that uses the name of protection to commit murder!

"Gentlemen, follow me into battle! All-out war has begun!"

As Yamamoto spoke, his spiritual pressure blazed up like a raging fire. His 'Ryujin Jakka' blade was burning with thirst, and only the blood of his enemies could extinguish the flames.

"As ordered!"

At Yamamoto's command, the entire First Division drew their Zanpakuto from their waists and, in perfect unison, followed Yamamoto Genryusai out of the First Division barracks and rushed to the battlefield. Instantly, a fiery spiritual pressure blazed across the battlefield…

The four gates of Seireitei...near the Juwa Gate.

With the Quincy's massive advance, this place has become nothing but ruins...

It seemed that an endless, countless Quincy were pouring in through the wide-open Zhuwa Gate.

Even though Araki had warned Yamamoto months in advance, and Yamamoto had dispatched a large number of thirteen squads of soldiers to guard all four gates of Seireitei, they were still no match for the overwhelming rain of spirit arrows...

The rain of arrows, like scythes symbolizing death, reaped the lives of the 13th Division soldiers one by one. No matter how fearless the Gotei 13 soldiers were, they could only retreat again and again in the face of the endless rain of spiritual arrows!

"Weak, far too weak..."

"These so-called Grim Reapers are nothing but targets for us Quincy!"

"I really don't know what His Majesty is worried about. Does he really think that we, the valiant Quincy, would be defeated by these incompetent Grim Reapers? Don't be ridiculous..."

"Instead of hunting this bunch of trash who call themselves 'Shinigami,' I'd rather go to Hueco Mundo and hunt down the Hollows there!"

Members of the Sternritter, mixed among the ordinary Quincy, continuously drew their bows and unleashed Holy Arrows, firing them at the stubbornly resisting Shinigami...

This Sternritter member, with every arrow he fired, would take the life of a Gotei 13 soldier; not a single arrow missed its mark! As a result, he began to become arrogant and conceited, completely forgetting the words of his great 'His Majesty' before he departed.

"Retreat! Everyone retreat! The enemy's firepower is too strong. We can only temporarily avoid their advance and then make further plans!"

The Death Gods guarding the Zhuwa Gate were suffering heavy losses and in a sorry state from the barrage of arrows. Not only were they seriously injured, but their spiritual pressure was also insufficient to continue fighting. Their only hope for survival was to retreat temporarily.

"Want to run?!"

Seeing that Death was about to retreat, the member of the Sternritter immediately drew his bow, and an arrow made of spiritual particles was released from his hand in an instant.

However, the arrow did not pierce the chests of the Grim Reaper soldiers who were trying to escape, but instead pierced the knee of one of them who was running wildly...

"what!"

With a piercing scream, the Death Squad member immediately collapsed to the ground.

"Soldier Sugiki!"

The Death Squad members, who were frantically retreating, heard the screams and immediately turned around. They looked at their fallen comrades and shouted anxiously.

"Idiot, don't stop! I can't go back now. You all need to return to your respective squads and report these guys' abilities to your captains..."

The soldier named Sugiki, after being struck in the leg by an arrow shot by a member of the Sternritter, unsurprisingly collapsed to the ground. As he watched the copious amounts of blood seeping from his severed trouser leg, he knew he would never return…

After realizing he was beyond saving, Sugiki quickly made a decision: to use his last strength as hope for the other squad members to return to their respective squads.

"But Captain Sugimoto, we..."

The Shinigami soldiers surrounding Sugiki still had hesitation in their eyes. On one hand, they knew that what Sugiki said was true and that they should return to their respective squads and report to their captains. On the other hand, they could not bear to see their familiar comrades injured and left to die.

"Too much nonsense!"

Just as the Grim Reaper soldiers hesitated for a moment, two more spirit arrows were fired at them.

"Burn, Fierce Maru!"

Before the spirit arrow could get close, Sugiki had already released his Zanpakuto, unleashing raging flames to block the arrow.

"Come on..."

After leaving behind a message, Sugiki braced himself on one foot, gripped his released Zanpakuto, and charged toward the Quincy in the distance.

"Chinese fir……"

The Grim Reaper soldiers watched Sugiki march forward with bloodshot eyes.

"Go! Don't let the Sugimoto team members sacrifice themselves in vain."

However, before the group could say anything, Death, the officer in charge of the squad, had already pulled everyone away and started running forward.

Xi Guan knew perfectly well that in his current state, Sugimoto was absolutely no match for that powerful Quincy. The reason Sugimoto chose to turn back was simply to sacrifice himself so that his teammates could continue on their way without any burden.

"I'll understand later!"

The scene before us is indeed incredibly tragic...

Despite the unbearable pain in everyone's hearts, retreat was the only option they had, the only hope for survival for these ordinary soldiers.

Chapter 35 The Throne of the Heart!

However, the enemy was well aware of this as well...

"So that's how it is. You planned to use yourself as bait so that your companions could escape?"

“A wise choice! But it’s pointless, because I’ll kill you soon, and then I’ll catch up with those fleeing Grim Reapers and shoot them through the chest with my arrows…”

The Sternritter instantly understood Sugiki's thoughts. He smiled and drew his bow toward Sugiki.

"Burn, Fierce Maru!!"

Sugi roared, gripping a flaming blade, and swung it at the Sternritter member.

Unfortunately, there were too many arrows coming at him. His flames could not stop the sea of ​​arrows. In just a moment, Sugimoto's body was pierced by the arrows and he lay on the ground.

"Farewell, Death!"

The Sternritter, looking at the fallen cedarwood, drew his bow one last time. Cedarwood would die from this arrow; at least, that's what the Sternritter believed…

"Shh!"
