Starting as a pirate, he rose to become the strongest Shinigami in Soul Society.

Chapter 527 Bane: A Trivial Matter

It is truly strong, and truly fast.

Before Bane could figure out why Shutara Senjumaru's Bankai was so outrageous this time, the domain covered by countless silk cloths vanished into thin air in an instant.

Even the terrifying spiritual pressure that had just made many people feel extremely stressed had disappeared.

Then, Shutara Senjumaru's figure calmly walked out of the chaotic battlefield with lotus-like steps.

Behind her, only a blood-stained silk cloth remained, as if wrapping a corpse, which fell to the ground and lay motionless.

Clearly, she had ended the fight.

A Vastod-class Hollow Arrancar, he was already dead before he even understood what was going on with his Bankai?

"I thought it could last a while, but it's just another pretty face with no substance," Shutara Senjumaru muttered to himself, then added softly, "So, should we find another toy next?"

As she spoke, her gaze swept across the battlefield.

At this time, he still did not participate in the war, but he lingered for a moment on Stark, who was very close to Kyoraku Shunsui, and the two sides seemed to be 'mutually restraining' each other.

That one glance put Stark under immense pressure, his eyes darkening, and his spiritual pressure involuntarily began to surge.

Fortunately, Shutara Senjumaru glanced at Kyoraku Shunsui again and ultimately did not make a move.

Meanwhile, in the camp.

Suddenly, a hell butterfly appeared out of thin air and landed on Chojiro's shoulder.

This puzzled Chojiro a little. He touched the Hell Butterfly with his fingertip and obtained the information it wanted to convey.

In the next instant, Chojiro Sasaki's expression changed drastically, and he shouted to Yamamoto Genryusai in front of him, "Lord Genryusai! Something has happened in Seireitei!"

Upon hearing this, Yamamoto Genryusai, who had been watching the battle, frowned and turned around abruptly, asking, "What is it?"

If it were an ordinary problem, it wouldn't have caused Chojiro Sasaki to lose his composure on the battlefield. Therefore, Genryusai Yamamoto immediately sensed something was wrong.

Chojiro Sasaki immediately walked to his side and said in a serious tone, "The 12th Division, which was stationed in Seireitei, has sent an urgent message. Seireitei has been invaded by some force, as if reality has shifted. Centered on the Central 46 Chambers area, a large-scale change has occurred in Seireitei, manifesting as a frozen castle. A large number of Quincy have suddenly appeared in Seireitei, calling themselves the Wandenreich, and have arrogantly declared war on Seireitei. Yhwach, who was known as the Quincy King a thousand years ago, has also been resurrected!"

"What!?" A look of surprise flashed in Yamamoto Genryusai's eyes, then he looked at Bane and asked, "This matter?"

Bane shook his head and said, "I don't know either."

Compared to the current Hueco Mundo, Yamamoto Genryusai is clearly more wary of Yhwach.

After all, Yhwach really almost destroyed Seireitei, forcing Seireitei and Yamamoto Genryusai to form the Gotei 13 in order to survive that crisis.

It can be said that the Gotei 13 were originally established to fight against Yhwach. Compared to that, Hueco Mundo is nothing.

In an instant, Yamamoto Genryusai's violent, fiery spiritual pressure surged from his body, instantly engulfing the entire battlefield.

This abrupt change caused the fierce battle to pause briefly. In that instant, Yamamoto Genryusai spoke in an icy tone: "I have no time to waste with you lot. Three. I will give you three seconds. Those who do not wish to continue committing murder may leave. After three counts, I will slaughter all the Hollows remaining here!"

He spoke these words slowly and deliberately, and as soon as he finished speaking, the spiritual pressure emanating from the old man began to melt the sand and gravel on the ground, and the temperature of the entire Hueco Mundo began to rise.

"How terrifying. Old Man Yamamoto is about to get angry. Why is he suddenly so furious? Has something happened?" Kyoraku Shunsui sighed softly as he looked at Yamamoto Genryusai, who seemed furious, in the camp.

At the same time, Nico Robin glanced at Stark and said, "I suggest you leave now, lest you actually end up staying here."

"Miss Robin is right. Although we have different stances, I find you surprisingly agreeable. I don't think you're the kind of Hollow who likes killing and disrupting order. Let's leave now," Kyoraku Shunsui said.

Before Stark could even respond.

Then, Yamamoto Genryusai's deep voice resounded throughout the hall as he said, "One."

As if sensing the chilling killing intent emanating from the sweltering heat, Stark scratched his head with a hint of helplessness and said, "If I were to persist now, it would seem like I'm being rather tactless. So, I'll take my leave now."

The moment he finished speaking, Stark vanished in a flash.

Not only him, but Nel also gave up fighting Hirako Shinji and chose to retreat as well.

Then, Harribel immediately broke away from the battle with Fubuki, Isshin Shiba, and Nami, and in the chaos of the battlefield, she rescued her three little sisters and left without looking back.

If Szayelaporro were still alive, he would probably have retreated as well. Unfortunately, he was unlucky and ran into the ruthless Shutara Senjumaru. He was killed before he could get the chance.

The other Vastod-class Hollows, such as Grimmjow and others, showed no intention of retreating and continued their frenzied fighting.

Barragan was not going to be scared away by Yamamoto Genryusai's words so easily. Otherwise, even if he survived, he would never have the prestige to be the "King of Hueco Mundo" again.

Moreover, although he was very wary of Yamamoto Genryusai's power, he was also very confident in his own aging power.

If he were really asked to clash with Yamamoto Genryusai, he wouldn't be afraid!

"two."

"Three!" Yamamoto Genryusai counted three times, and the staff-sword in his hand began to disintegrate. The withered bark turned into ashes and fell away, revealing the true form of the strongest fire-type Zanpakuto, Ryujin Jakka.

"Sir," Yamamoto Genryusai said to Bane as he slowly drew the Ryujin Jakka, "please make your move."

Bane, seemingly oblivious to the intense heat emanating from the raging flames of Ryujin Jakka, remained calmly standing beside Yamamoto Genryusai.

Upon hearing this, he grinned and said, "Then I won't stand on ceremony."

Suddenly the flames went out, and Ryujin Jakka seemed to transform into a charred, unremarkable blade.

As the flames died down, the temperature in Hueco Mundo began to rise rapidly, and Yamamoto Genryusai's frenzied and scorching spiritual pressure began to affect the surrounding environment.

The tents that had only been set up in the camp caught fire on the spot, and many of the Grim Reapers, unable to bear the heat, kept retreating to a greater distance.

Clearly, Yamamoto Genryusai skipped the Shikai state and immediately activated Bankai: Zanka no Tachi!

In a flash, the old man's figure disappeared from the spot.

Just as Zoro was fiercely battling Ulquiorra, he suddenly felt his body radiating intense heat, and the flowing lightning seemed about to explode, as if a sun was approaching him.

Before he could even process this thought, Yu Guangzhong saw the captain, whose eyes were filled with murderous intent, intervene in his battle!

It's important to know that both he and Ulquiorra are incredibly fast, and their battles are extremely intense.

Ordinary Shinigami cannot even get close, but Yamamoto Genryusai's intervention was so smooth, as if their battle was full of countless flaws.

Zoro noticed Yamamoto Genryusai's intervention, and so did Ulquiorra. He thrust his Spirit Blade forward as if preparing to resist something.

However, in the next second, Yamamoto Genryusai had already passed by Ulquiorra.

"The Blazing Blade - North - Heaven and Earth Ashes!"

The old man's voice, still magnetic despite its gloom, reached Ulquiorra's ears.

Immediately, the Vasto Lorde-class Hollow, which had broken free of its own power and possessed immense strength, began to disintegrate. In the blink of an eye, it turned into ashes and vanished into Hueco Mundo, leaving not even a trace behind.

Inside the camp, they watched as Yamamoto Genryusai instantly killed Ulquiorra with a single strike.

Bane didn't show any particular surprise. Instead, he calmly took over the command and gave instructions.

"Kido-shu, immediately open the portal back to Seireitei. Eleventh Division, Tenth Division, and Fourth Division captains, finish your current battles, form the vanguard, and be the first to return to Seireitei to support the rear divisions. Everyone, finish all your current duties and orders, and orderly retreat to the camp to return to Seireitei."

Bane had already brought most of the Death Squad members into the camp, so only those at the captain level and above needed to return to the camp.

Kenpachi Kuruyashiki, who was fighting Barragan, looked quite helpless, but he quickly withdrew from the fighting area, not daring to delay any longer, and swiftly returned to the camp.

Shinji Hirako, Kensei Muguruma, and the others also stopped fighting the Adjuchas and Vasto Lorde-class Hollows and seized the opportunity to retreat into their camp.

The members of the Ghost Path Clan have already begun constructing the interdimensional portal.

Seeing that his orders had been carried out, Bane slowly placed his hand on the Heart Ferry at his waist.

In such a short time, Grimmjow, the Arrancar Hollow whom Bane quite liked, was also killed by Yamamoto Genryusai with a single slash and turned to ashes.

"What a pity," Bane said with a sigh.

Then Yamamoto Genryusai had already stormed into the Naachukas Hollow, taking down enemies one by one with a single strike. No matter what level of spiritual pressure they possessed, none of them could withstand a single blow.

At the same time, wherever he went, the ground turned into scorched earth, and a large number of charred skeletons rose from the scorched earth with flames, charging towards the numerous Hollows and Great Hollows of Las Noches.

"Why go to all this trouble? It's not like you're saving it for me to perform, is it?" Bane joked with a smile.

As if hearing these words, Yamamoto Genryusai leaped into the air, unleashing a fierce strike with his Zankatana, and roared, "Castle in Flames!!!"

The katana that had been completely devoid of flames suddenly erupted with terrifyingly hot flames, as if it were about to ignite Hueco Mundo. In an instant, it engulfed the entire battlefield within a radius of dozens of spiritual miles, as if it were surrounded by a wall of flames.

All the Void beings—including the Void, Kylian, Adjuchas, and Vastod—that hadn't left this area within the previous three counts were now imprisoned within this fiery battlefield.

At this moment, because the Bankai had taken too long, the surface of the gravel on the ground in Hueco Mundo had already crystallized, and everyone was starting to feel the strain if they continued to do this.

Therefore, after Yamamoto Genryusai trapped all the Hollows in one strike, he immediately sheathed his sword and, with a swift movement, returned to his camp.

He faced Bane, and as they passed each other, he said, "Well then, I'll head back to Seireitei first."

"Don't rush me, this is just something I did on the spur of the moment," Bane said, pursing his lips.

The moment the words fell, a crack appeared in the sky, and then, dazzling moonlight enveloped the entire Hueco Mundo.

"Fall stars and moon, Star Forger Dragon King," Bane murmured.

Double initial release, open!!!

However, compared to that year, this time, his double initial release is even more terrifying.

Back then, Bane merely pulled down three phantom moons composed of spiritual pressure. But this time, an unprecedented and unparalleled surge of spiritual pressure fell from the sky like starlight, shining equally on every Hollow that had not yet left.

From the lowest level of the Void to the highest level of the Vastode-class Arrancar, such as Barragan.

Before this starlight formed from spiritual pressure, everyone is equal, and no one can move!

When a mountain is pressing down on you, whether you are an ant or a gorilla, the outcome is the same.

"How could there be such powerful spiritual pressure?" Barragan fell from the sky, his throne and the whole thing were pinned to the ground, unable to move, filled with fear.

Then, in the star-studded sky, it seemed as if a majestic azure dragon was swaying across the starry sky, exuding a terrifying pressure.

Immediately afterwards, the stars formed from Bane's spiritual pressure fell toward Hueco Mundo.

The target is this area enclosed by the fiery walls.

Bane casually sheathed the Heart-Crossing Sword, which he had only briefly flicked in the air after drawing it, and turned around, saying, "I told you it would be quick."

Just moments ago, Yamamoto Genryusai had been nonchalantly preparing to leave, but now he unconsciously turned back to look at the stars falling towards Hueco Mundo, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes as he said, "This is truly... far more terrifying than it was back then."

"Haha, people always have to grow up, right? Captain-Commander, you don't think I've been slacking off for the past few hundred years, do you?" Bane laughed.

Then, he and Yamamoto Genryusai stepped into the interdimensional gate together.

Immediately afterwards, the remaining Shinigami squads that had stayed behind also quickly followed and entered.

A moment later, as the last Shinigami stepped into the portal, he couldn't help but glance back. Just as the portal was about to close, the first moon to fall caused a violent explosion in Hueco Mundo, like a planet crashing to earth, a terrifying cataclysmic event.
