Death: Then stood in the sky.

Under the pitch-black night sky.

Three invisible figures moved through the sky until they stopped in a deserted area.

Tosen Kaname's gaze swept over him. "How are you feeling?"

With his hand resting on the deep, bone-revealing wound, Gin Ichimaru shook his head. "He's not going to die yet."

After saying that, he clicked his tongue in amazement and exclaimed, "But I almost died. That's terrifying. Is this the swordsmanship of the Fourth Division Captain, Retsu Unohana?"

Gin Ichimaru has always considered himself a genius.

In just a few years, it covered the distance that the Grim Reaper would normally take hundreds of years to travel.

Then I easily mastered the initial release and bankai.

Although he still can't reach Aizen's level, nor can he match that Captain-Commander, he's definitely not weak, right?

But he was still injured by that swordsmanship.

That swordsmanship inherited from Retsu Unohana.

If even Ukitake Seiji is this strong, how strong must Unohana Retsu be?

The woman's smile was so gentle and kind, always radiating an amazing affability that people subconsciously assumed she was not good at fighting.

But in reality, they are monsters whose killing experience is as common as eating and drinking, and who are bathed in mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

It's truly chilling.

"Is this why Captain Aizen is so concerned about him?" Tosen took a few steps forward to follow Aizen and asked softly.

Aizen smiled gently but did not answer.

"What do you think of his strength?" Seeing this, Tosen Kaname looked at Ichimaru Gin, whose face was pale from blood loss and serious injuries.

Gin Ichimaru narrowed his eyes. “He’s very strong, strong like a monster. His swordsmanship alone is worth taking seriously, not to mention that Seiji Ukitake’s spiritual pressure is not weak at all.”

At this point, Gin Ichimaru paused, his tone becoming slightly more relaxed, "Fortunately, Seiji Ukitake's body couldn't support him in such a high-intensity battle."

"Moreover, if it weren't for the medicines he invented, after I wounded him, he would probably have been just like that 10th Division Captain, struggling to cope with the Hollow White's attacks and ending up in a sorry state."

Upon hearing this, Tosen Kaname nodded.

This is exactly the same judgment I made.

Then he asked, "If you were to fight with all your might, what are your chances of winning?"

Gin Ichimaru was silent for a moment, then he raised his head and said seriously, "It's probably a 50/50 chance. If I use Bankai, my chances of winning should be slightly higher, but if the opponent goes all out... then it's not certain."

Kaname Tosen also fell silent.

He knew about Gin Ichimaru's Bankai, and knew that after his Zanpakuto was released, its instantaneous slashing speed could reach an astonishing five hundred times the speed of sound, and its coverage area could cover several kilometers.

So this is why Captain Aizen paid so much attention to Seiji Ukitake?

However...

Gin Ichimaru suddenly changed the subject, "Are you really okay leaving like this, Captain Aizen?"

He perfectly adopted Aizen's perspective, appearing to be considering Aizen's best interests, "After all, Hollow White is currently the most perfect creation, are we really just going to abandon him like this..."

“It’s alright, Gin.” Aizen’s tone was gentle, his voice light and airy. “We have obtained all the information we wanted, about Hollow White, and about Ukitake Seiji.”

The defeat of Hyakuro.

Aizen didn't feel any regret.

Wherever it was created, the fate of emptiness was destined destruction.

As long as the death has sufficient value, that's enough.

Now, Aizen believes that Hollow White has created enough value.

Moreover, with this information, he could create an even more perfect Hollow White.

"It's a pity that we still couldn't force Urahara Kisuke and Hirako Shinji's group to reveal their whereabouts," Tosen Kaname said regretfully.

Urahara Kisuke?

Aizen seemed to be deep in thought, and said softly, "No, wait, I want it."

Tosen was taken aback, and then, amidst his astonished expression, Aizen smiled and slowly said, "He has already appeared."

......

Boom!

The blood-soaked, pale-haired man let out a low growl, raised his broken arm, and thrust the sharp edge of the severed blade straight at Qing Si's throat. At the same time, another bone blade that had grown out swung over.

Aoshi twisted his wrist and sent him flying.

It glided hundreds of meters through the air, roaring furiously.

He had a vague sense that the other party seemed to be a monster more terrifying than himself, but his weak mind prevented him from having any thought of escaping.

Because from the very beginning of creation, there is only one instinct loaded into the body.

Hunting led to the completion of evolution.

If it's a powerful enemy, then we must devour it.

The spiritual pressure burned within the flesh and blood, and even more explosive energy surged continuously within the body.

He wanted to become stronger; he wanted to kill the Grim Reaper before him, then chew up the other's soul and turn it into his own spiritual pressure.

With a frenzied roar, the void white raised its horns toward the sky, and a massive amount of spiritual pressure gathered in an instant, condensing into a void flash.

A crimson light began to flicker.

Aoshi keenly sensed the unusual nature of this phantom flash, "A flash that pierces through hell?"

Compared to the previous Void Flash, the power of this Void Flash has evolved once again, vaguely revealing the ultimate numerical beauty that pierces through hell.

The spiritual pressure is still accumulating.

"Aren't you afraid to come over?"

"Alright."

Aoshi's figure disappeared in mid-air. "Then I'll go over there."

next moment.

It reached behind the white figure and swept its foot across.

The Crypt Strike was forcibly interrupted.

boom!

As if struck by a meteorite, Xu Bai let out a painful roar and flew out, sweeping away everything in his path.

The earth trembled, raising clouds of dust.

He struggled to his feet, and then saw Death in the distance crouch slightly, assuming a drawing-sword stance.

Then, the figure turned into a black line.

Xu Bai swung his arm and thrust it forward.

But it all came to nothing.

"Did you hear that?"

Behind him, Seiji expressionlessly and slowly sheathed his Zanpakuto.

"Reggie's echo."

Blood gushed out, forming pools of blood, and jagged wounds appeared on the body. Continuous shockwaves tore the earth apart, creating howling hurricanes in the darkness.

Xu Bai collapsed, his violent and malevolent spiritual pressure completely vanishing.

A powerful wind swept in, and Shiba Isshin covered his face with one hand and protected the startled Fujiwara Risa with the other, staring at the fallen Hollow.

The monster is dead.

But the moment he relaxed, it was less than a second before his pale body suddenly began to swell, with countless chunks of flesh filling his body, like a balloon about to explode.

Hyobaek is about to self-destruct!

A loud boom.

The ground subsided slightly, followed by a burst of spiritual pressure like a volcanic eruption.

Shiba Isshin, his eyes wide with rage, cried out, "Stop him!"

This place is not completely away from the city yet.

A Vastod self-destructing, and such a powerful Hollow White at that, could probably level this place to the ground!

But how can we stop it?

We can't exactly tell Ukitake Seiji to risk his life and fight it out, can we?

Putting aside whether he could shamelessly say such things, even if he did bear it, the power of this self-destruction would still be enough to completely destroy the city.

As expected, it seems there's still nothing that can be done.

Shiba Isshin's face was extremely ugly.

Qing Si ignored him and instead pointed forward with her finger.

Single shield.

The transparent shield appeared, but it only withstood the explosive explosion for a moment before being completely shattered.

Although he already knew the ending, Shiba Isshin still showed a look of disappointment.

It looks like I'm really going to die here this time.

Sorry everyone, I've been so lazy, I'm really troubling you all.

Sorry, old man, I stole the sweet potato you roasted with Ryujin Jakka last time.

Sorry, Aoshi, for dragging you into this battle.

Sorry... why hasn't it exploded yet?

Shiba snapped out of his daze and looked up into the distance.

White shockwaves and flames rose continuously, transforming into the purest destructive power to destroy everything.

One by one, the single shields shattered, but hundreds or even thousands more were instantly stacked, providing comprehensive protection against the white, self-destructing object before them.

After all this, Seiji's voice slowly rang out, "One million shikigami."

Shiba Isshin's mouth grew large, and his eyes bulged out noticeably.

What happened?

Why was the self-destruction of that Vasto Lorde stopped so easily?

Also, is this the improved cut-off?

Can it be instantaneously stacked an unlimited number of times in a short period of time?

A flood of questions filled Shiba's mind, almost overwhelming him.

Risa Fujiwara also breathed a sigh of relief; just moments ago, she had almost thought she was going to be blown up.

She pointed at Seiji, "This guy must be your captain, right? He's here to clean up your mess."

Shiba Isshin: "???"

His eyes were full of question marks.

How did Ukitake Seiji become my captain?

I was planning to make him my vice-captain!

"As expected, only the captain can handle this." Fujiwara Risa patted his shoulder, giving him a look that said, "You're not up to the task."

Shiba Isshin: "..."

Forget it.

At least they survived; it wasn't easy for anyone.

Soon, everything disappeared.
