The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel...

Chapter 512 Encirclement?

"This is a big problem."

Kyoraku Shunsui's brows were furrowed, and his usually leisurely and carefree face was now shrouded in gloom.

He slowly raised his hand and pulled his hat brim down heavily, trying to use this small gesture to hide the undisguised anxiety and deep worry in his eyes.

The current situation that the Gotei 13 is in is like a bottomless abyss. The ever-worsening battle is like a heavy hammer, pounding hard on his heart again and again.

"Captain Unohana's spiritual pressure has also disappeared??"

Jushiro Ukitake's eyes widened instantly, filled with shock and disbelief.

His lips trembled slightly, and the cough that usually flared up from time to time and had almost become a habit was completely forgotten by him at this moment.

He knew the true identity of Retsu Unohana perfectly—the first Kenpachi who quelled the chaos a thousand years ago with his teacher!

Its formidable strength makes it a shining example of top-tier power throughout the long history of the Gotei 13.

But now, reality is so cruel. Not only has the spiritual pressure of Kenpachi Zaraki, the brave and fearless contemporary Kenpachi full of fighting passion, dissipated, but now even the spiritual pressure of a legendary powerhouse like Retsu Unohana has disappeared without a trace.

Moreover, upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the spiritual pressure of several captains and vice-captains had vanished without a trace, as if a stone had sunk into the sea.

This is an unprecedented major loss since the establishment of the Seireitei, and the overall strength of the Gotei 13 has been severely damaged.

"Only teachers can solve this now."

"Who?"

Kyoraku Shunsui asked warily.

A figure walked out from the side at a leisurely pace.

"Who are you?"

Kyoraku Shunsui's eyes were fixed on the newcomer, his gaze sharp and intense, and his hand had already unconsciously rested on the hilt of his sword.

His body tensed slightly, ready to deal with any danger that might come his way.

"Wes Irwin".

"A name I've never heard of before."

Kyoraku Shunsui frowned slightly, the wrinkles on his forehead becoming more pronounced, his eyes filled with wariness and doubt.

His intuition told him that the person in front of him was no good.

"He can be considered the mastermind behind this invasion of Soul Society."

Wes's lips curled up slightly.

Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro were both stunned, their expressions freezing instantly. They never expected to encounter the final boss of this invasion in such a dramatic way.

"Clang!"

A crisp metallic clang rang out as Kyoraku Haruka decisively attacked, unleashing his unique move, "Unrefined Pleasure."

His Zanpakuto drew a graceful arc in the air, creating a gust of wind, but this seemingly fierce attack vanished without a trace, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.

Wes was completely unharmed and remained standing calmly in the same spot.

Wes's attention wasn't on Kyoraku Shunsui at all; his gaze pierced through the air: "Aren't you coming out yet?"

"There are other people??"

Kyoraku Shunsui looked puzzled and exchanged a glance with Ukitake Jushiro, who was also looking bewildered.

With their keen senses, the two of them carefully examined all the surrounding atmosphere, but they couldn't detect anything unusual.

Just then, a slight ripple spread through the air.

Where there was nothing before, two human figures gradually emerged. As the figures became clearer, the figures of Aizen Sousuke and Ichimaru Gin appeared.

The two of them had been wearing invisibility cloaks and hiding in the shadows the whole time.

"Why are you two here? This doesn't fit the plan."

Jushiro Ukitake frowned, his tone tinged with anxiety and confusion.

In their original plan, Aizen and Gin Ichimaru were not supposed to be here. Their appearance now undoubtedly adds more variables to the already complicated and chaotic situation.

Aizen seemed not to hear Ukitake's question. His eyes were fixed on Wes, a probing glint in them, as he asked, "I didn't release a single trace of spiritual pressure. Can you tell me how you detected me?"

Aizen has always been extremely confident in his ability to conceal himself. With his own methods, he can completely remain undetected. However, the man named Wes in front of him easily saw through his disguise.

"Death, Hollow, and True Soul are just different forms of the soul. No matter how well they are hidden, they cannot escape my eyes."

Wes's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable confidence.

The essence of the soul is interconnected. No matter what form it takes or how carefully it is hidden, it will leave traces in one's perception.

"I see, Gin."

Aizen turned his head slightly to look at Gin Ichimaru beside him.

Gin Ichimaru understood immediately, drawing his sword in a flash, his spiritual pressure surging: "Bankai - Shoot His God-Slaying Spear!"

The Zanpakuto in his hand underwent an astonishing transformation, its blade extending and retracting rapidly at a terrifying speed of 500 times the speed of sound, like a silver lightning bolt.

Almost instantly, the blade tip was already in front of Wes, and the force of the wind it generated carved deep furrows into the ground around them.

However, despite Gin Ichimaru's incredible speed, his fatal blow stopped abruptly just as it was about to touch Wes.

The latest novel is first published here!

"Infernal Affairs".

The surrounding space was distorted, and the Zanpakuto that was originally aimed straight at Wes could no longer advance even an inch.

Weiss's application of spatial laws has become increasingly sophisticated.

"Spatial ability."

Kyoraku Shunsui muttered to himself, his eyes filled with solemnity.

Having failed in his attack, Gin Ichimaru, with a cold expression, quickly retreated and stood behind Aizen.

Wes took a step forward, and his action drew the attention of everyone present.

Kyoraku Shunsui, Ukitake Jushiro, Aizen Sosuke, and Ichimaru Gin stared intently at him like searchlights, their eyes filled with vigilance and wariness.

The man before me, as the mastermind behind this invasion, possesses unfathomable strength.

However, Weiss's actions were swift and unexpected.

Everyone only saw a blur before their eyes, and the next second, Wes reappeared, his hand firmly resting on Jushiro Ukitake's head.

This happened too suddenly.

"Let me see what exactly the Spirit King is."

Weiss murmured softly.

Jushiro Ukitake's pupils contracted sharply in an instant.

He tried to struggle, to break free from Wes's control, but the hand on his head was like a steel clamp, holding him firmly and preventing him from moving an inch.

Kyoraku Shunsui rushed over without hesitation.

"Let go!"

The Zanpakuto in his hand brought a sharp gust of wind as it attacked Wes, attempting to force Wes to loosen his control over Ukitake Jushiro.

However, just as Jushiro Ukitake was struggling to resist, his gaze met Wes's.

He felt a sharp pain in his head, and the world before his eyes began to blur. Then, his consciousness gradually dissipated like a kite with a broken string, and he fell into a coma.

All of this happened too quickly. In the blink of an eye, the veteran captain Jushiro Ukitake, who had more than 200 years of experience, fell into a coma so easily.

His body went limp and slumped downwards; if Wes hadn't been supporting his head with his hand, he would have already fallen to the ground.

"It also has the ability to hypnotize."

A hint of surprise flashed in Aizen Sousuke's eyes, but more so, it was his wariness of Wes's strength.

Hypnosis may seem simple, but it is actually extremely profound. It requires precise and powerful control over mental energy to instantly invade another person's consciousness and cause them to fall into a coma.

The fact that Wes was able to so easily trick Jushiro Ukitake is enough to prove his profound skill in this area.
