Infinite Chimera Creation

A blue light flashed, and the female weapon standing behind Yuan Yuan transformed into a slightly feminine Zanpakuto, falling into his hand.

With a disdainful snort, Yamamoto Genryusai slowly drew his Zanpakuto, the strongest fire-type, Ryujin Jakka. In his eyes, Tamon was simply Yuan Yuan's Zanpakuto, only materialized. Among the Gotei 13, there weren't many Shinigami who could materialize their Zanpakuto, but there were definitely not a few either.

All Shinigami capable of Bankai can materialize their Zanpakuto. However, firstly, the Zanpakuto usually have no interest in leaving their mental world, and secondly, materializing a Zanpakuto does not increase a Shinigami's combat power. Therefore, the captains do not usually materialize their Zanpakuto.

"Well then, Captain-Commander, here I come. Bankai: All Things Known."

Unlike other Shinigami who shout out the name of their Zanpakuto to boost their aura, Yuan Yuan calmly unleashed the Bankai of his Zanpakuto, as if he were simply commenting on the weather.

Azure gas swirled around Yuan Yuan, resembling otherworldly clouds, further enhancing his already mysterious aura. He gently stroked a wisp of blue cloud with his right hand, uttering a soft expression of approval.

"This is truly a beautiful Bankai,"

Seemingly excited by Yuan Yuan's praise, the slowly drifting blue clouds suddenly began to move rapidly.

Enveloped in blue clouds, Yuan Yuan suddenly appeared behind Yamamoto Genryusai, throwing a punch aimed at the back of his head. The punch was only halfway through its trajectory when Yuan Yuan vanished again, and in the next instant, his Zanpakuto, burning with raging flames, fell.

In just a few minutes, Yuan Yuan threw hundreds of punches, but each one disappeared just before hitting his opponent, causing Yamamoto Genryusai's slash to miss its mark.

Returning to his original spot, Yuan Yuan spoke with a tone full of approval.

"Truly remarkable. Despite your body's advanced age, your reactions remain incredibly fast. Even with my absolute mind-reading ability, which allows me to read your thoughts, I still cannot inflict any effective harm on you. You truly live up to your title as the strongest Grim Reaper in a thousand years."

Before Yamamoto Genryusai could speak, Yuan Yuan extended his right hand to his side again, speaking in the same posture and tone as before.

"Broken Mountain".

The composed male weapon user responded softly, transforming into a large sword nearly half the width of an ordinary Zanpakuto, which landed steadily in Yuan Yuan's hand.

Pointing the sharp blade at Yamamoto Genryusai, Yuan Yuan's smile through his mask seemed to grow even more sinister.

"That's right. Although my martial arts talent is unmatched, I've almost never fought a single battle on my way here, so my combat experience is naturally far less than yours, who has experienced thousands of battles. But so what if I lack combat experience?"

Yes, Yuan Yuan knew from the beginning that in a one-on-one fight, he couldn't possibly be a match for Yamamoto Genryusai. To put it bluntly, Yamamoto Genryusai, this thousand-year-old grim reaper, had killed more people than Yuan Yuan had seen in his hundreds of years of life. But who had ever seen a researcher roll up his sleeves, grab a knife, and fight an enemy?

With a mighty swing of his broadsword, Yuan Yuan, enveloped in blue clouds generated by the Bankai of Tamon, spoke leisurely.

"Bankai, the mountain is shattered without a sound."

A massive spiritual pressure surged into the sky. Yuan Yuan, wielding an even larger Zanpakuto, let out a cold laugh.

"If you lack combat experience, I'll make up for it in other ways. My strength, my speed, my weapons, my spiritual power, my intelligence—everything except combat experience—can overwhelm you. In that case, dear Captain-Commander, what will you use to defeat me?"

However, although he openly admitted his lack of combat experience and that he was no match for Yamamoto Genryusai, Yuan Yuan, having awakened [Arrogance], could not allow himself to remain inferior to others. He had already devised a plan to compensate for his lack of combat experience, and was simply waiting for the right opportunity to completely resolve this issue.

"Drowning, Bankai, drowning in a dream."

"Lei Gong, Bankai, Lin Tian Lei Gong Jie".

"Block, swastika, absolutely block."

"Puppet, Bankai, Laughing Puppet."

Under the astonished gaze of Yamamoto Genryusai, Yuan Yuan repeatedly extended his right hand, using the most powerful force of the Grim Reaper time and time again.

Bankai is the pinnacle of a Shinigami's power, a state every Shinigami dreams of. But now, it's being used so casually and repeatedly by the person before him, and for a moment, Yamamoto Genryusai couldn't help but doubt his own eyes.

Seeing Yamamoto Genryusai's shocked expression, Yuan Yuan pointed his blade at the strongest Shinigami of the millennium, his voice turning icy cold once more.

"Then, the game begins again."

Chapter Fifty-One: Eternal Punishment

"Phew, I commend you, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni. Even with your body decaying to such an extent, you've managed to hold your own against me for so long. But it's time to end this now. All the necessary data has been collected."

Upon hearing the masked man utter such words, Yamamoto Genryusai, whose body was already covered in wounds, suddenly swung his sword.

"Remnant Fire Sword, Rising Sun Blade."

All the heat of Ryujin Jakka's flames was concentrated at the tip of the blade, easily obliterating anything it touched. However...

What's the use of a knife if it can't cut anyone?

Appearing leisurely behind Yamamoto Genryusai, Yuan Yuan suddenly swung his left hand, striking out with his Thunder God, leaving a wound on Yamamoto's back.

"Even though you, Captain-Commander, have used Bankai, and even Bankai derivative techniques, you are still so powerless."

My extensive knowledge allows me to anticipate your next move;

Breaking the mountain allows my power to surpass yours;

Drowning allows every attack I launch against you to weaken your spiritual power;

Thunder God has fully activated my body, allowing me to completely overwhelm you in speed;

The shield completely blocks the negative effects of Thunder God and Drowning on the user while they harm the enemy;

The puppet allows me to ignore the delay in neural response; as long as my consciousness is fast enough, my body can do the same.

"Under these circumstances, Captain, what will you use to win?"

"Kid, didn't anyone tell you not to be so arrogant?"

Unaffected by Yuan Yuan's words, Yamamoto Genryusai swung his sword again. Even though he knew it was impossible to hurt the strange masked man, the Captain-Commander showed no intention of giving up.

Seeing the unwavering look in the captain's eyes, Yuan Yuan was not surprised. He knew that this stubborn old man would not give up the fight just because of a few words from the enemy.

"I knew it! But that's perfect, it lets me see my new subordinate's combat abilities."

Softly murmuring, Yuan Yuan waved his hand in front of him, creating a crack that resembled a black cavity but was entirely pale white.

"The Eternal Punishment Unit, commence execution. Target: Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni."

"Your will, Lord of Hell."

A unified shout echoed from the crevice, followed by the clanging of iron chains. Two pairs of people, their arms chained, emerged. Each pair consisted of one person dressed in black and the other in white, their clothing identical except for the color: the black-clad figures were adorned with pale skulls, while the white-clad figures wore garments covered in black, snake-scale-like patterns. The chains on their arms matched the color of their clothing.

The two who stepped forward first and stood at the very front of the group, clearly the leaders, simultaneously raised their hands and then swung them down sharply towards Yamamoto Genryusai.

In an instant, all the members of the Eternal Punishment Force swarmed forward. Unlike the Grim Reaper's fighting style, these men's weapons were clearly the chains on their arms. Chains that were originally unusable as weapons, under their skillful control, displayed a power no less than that of sharp blades.

Sensing the spiritual pressure emanating from these people, the highest being only at the vice-captain level, Yamamoto Genryusai let out an angry roar.

"You brat, are you trying to humiliate this old man?"

Ignoring Yamamoto Genryusai's anger, Yuan Yuan habitually reached to rub his temples, but his fingers were hidden by the mask on his face. After a slight pause, he spoke softly.

"You misunderstand, Captain-Commander. I have never insulted even the most insignificant enemy. In the face of death, all are equal."

Let me give you a piece of advice: don't underestimate my Eternal Punishment Army, or you'll suffer the consequences.

After realizing from Yuan Yuan's voice that he truly meant no humiliation, Yamamoto Genryusai snorted coldly and ignored Yuan Yuan.

The members of the Eternal Punishment Squad wielded their chains, creating a series of whistling sounds as they attacked Yamamoto Genryusai. However, not one of them could break through Ryujin Jakka's defenses and strike the strongest Shinigami in a thousand years.

Narrowing his eyes and waiting for the right moment, Yamamoto Genryusai suddenly shouted.

"The residual fire sword, the residual prison robe."

In an instant, the already scorching spiritual pressure transformed into flames of 16,000 degrees Celsius, turning dozens of Eternal Punishment members to ashes. But even so, Yamamoto Genryusai was not satisfied in the slightest.

His target from the start wasn't these team members who only had the strength of a vice-captain, but rather Yuan Yuan standing to the side. However, even after the battle was over, Yuan Yuan hadn't deactivated his Bankai. He had already prepared his defense the moment Yuan Yuan launched his attack, and Yuan Yuan hadn't suffered any damage whatsoever.

Watching the ashes of the Eternal Punishment members scatter in the wind, Yuan Yuan narrowed his eyes, observing the remaining members to gauge their reactions. Because all his previous works had established absolute loyalty as the fundamental rule, even ghouls with a strong research drive developed a severe dependence on him, resulting in a noticeable deficiency in their autonomy.

Therefore, when creating the Eternal Punishment Force, although he included a loyalty rule, he did not set it as a fundamental rule, but only as a basic rule. This way, the loyalty rule is like a form of psychological suggestion; it does not force them to be loyal, but only influences them indirectly.

Today marks the first time the Yongxing Army has suffered a large-scale loss of personnel. Yuan Yuan, the creator of this organization, has no idea how they will react.

Still keeping Yamamoto Genryusai within the encirclement, the leader in black gripped the chains in his hands and suddenly shouted...

"Our race, though crowned with the name of guardians of hell for thousands of years, remained ignorant and chaotic, devoid of reason, no different from wild beasts, pitifully wandering in hell. But our Lord has brought change. Because of our Lord, every one of us has gained reason, become capable of thought, and finally escaped the realm of beasts, freeing ourselves from the shame of thousands of years. How can we ever repay such grace?!"

All the men in black shouted at the same time

"With our lives, we will punish the enemy of our lord! With our lives, we will punish the enemy of our lord!!"

The white-clad leader wasn't as passionate as the black-clad leader; he simply raised his hand, coldly pointing at Yamamoto Genryusai, uttering a sound that could freeze one's heart.

"Defeat him!"

Immediately, all members of the Yongxing Unit charged forward again and began attacking Yamamoto Genryusai.

Standing at the rear, Yuan Yuan sighed inwardly. The need for words and the use of gratitude to motivate them was already a sign of wavering loyalty. Although their final decision remained one of loyalty, the seeds of betrayal had undoubtedly been sown in the hearts of the Yongxing troops.

Although this seed may never sprout before their deaths, what Yuan Yuan needs is unwavering loyalty.

"After we get back, we'll create another batch of absolutely loyal Yongxing soldiers to serve as our inner team." With a sigh to himself, Yuan Yuan continued to observe the Yongxing troops' performance.

While Yamamoto Genryusai appeared somewhat disheveled when facing Yuan Yuan, he could easily annihilate the Eternal Punishment team members. Any member caught off guard and grazed by his Zanpakuto was reduced to ashes. However, after numerous sacrifices, finally, one of the black-clad members managed to wound the strongest Shinigami of the millennium.

Although it was just a small wound, after it appeared, the Eiji team members, who had all been in a fighting stance, suddenly retreated and distanced themselves from Yamamoto Genryusai.

Seeing the uniform movements and eerie smiles on the faces of the Yongxing team members, the captain frowned deeply.

PS1, bonus chapter complete. [Gazing into the distance]

Chapter 52 You Are Destined to Fail

"Well then, welcome to hell."

Staring at Yamamoto Genryusai, dozens of members of the Eiji Force spoke at the same time. Their eerie voices, smiles, and actions sent chills down one's spine.

Before Yamamoto Genryusai could launch another attack, the Yongxing team member who had successfully attacked him had already pulled out his own heart and crushed it.

Although blood was spilling from the corner of his mouth, the Yongxing team member still wore a strange smile. After coughing up a mouthful of blood, he spoke haltingly.

"Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni believes, cough cough, that in the endless time ahead, we will definitely get along, cough cough, get along happily."

As his last words faded, the life of this executioner also came to an end; the light in his eyes faded, replaced by deathly stillness.

However, the moment his body died, other things came to life.

With a clanging sound, the chains wrapped around the arms of the dead Eternal Punishment Team member began to twitch, like a writhing black snake. The snake's head rose, swinging back and forth in the direction of Yamamoto Genryusai.
