Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

Is this kid really his son?

The other Grim Reapers stared in horror at the not-so-tall figure.

The power of the traveler's misfortune is somewhat beyond the realm of comprehension.

Just as everyone was in shock, Ichigo gripped Zangetsu, leaped into the air, and countless spiritual particles gathered on the blade, instantly radiating a dazzling light.

"Crescent Moon - Sky Slash!!"

Chapter 403 Great Revenge Achieved

The moment the crescent-shaped golden sword pressure appeared, the entire Twin Phantom Hill trembled.

The immense pressure pressed down on every one of the Grim Reapers without bias, and the ground suddenly cracked open with countless fine fissures, with many people's feet almost buried in the soil.

The next second, the golden crescent moon rose high into the sky, shining with dazzling light just like a real crescent moon.

Everyone's attention was drawn to it, even ignoring the relatively small figure directly below the crescent moon.

Shiba Ichigo stared blankly at Kurosaki Ichigo as he soared into the sky, his expression becoming dazed.

He suddenly felt that his son had become a complete stranger.

Besides his extraordinary strength, he also has a way of acting that completely disregards reason.

If you said this kid was Captain-Commander Naraku's son, probably no one would doubt it.

Shiba Ichishin began to wonder if his family and Naraku Sora were related by blood.

As one of the main characters in this grand drama, no one was paying attention to Shiba Isshin anymore; everyone's attention was focused on Ichigo.

Countless streams of light, accompanied by intense spiritual pressure, burst forth from the golden crescent moon, like stars rising and falling.

Crescent Moon Slash transformed into a wide-range attack, instantly locking onto each Shinigami amidst the thick, heavy spiritual pressure.

Then came a second phase of frantic acceleration, reaching a terrifying speed that was almost impossible to see with the naked eye.

Facing the Grim Reapers using this method for the first time, they were caught completely off guard.

The rain of light poured down, and ordinary Grim Reapers didn't even have time to react before they were forced to retreat amidst embarrassing howls of "Aaaaaah!"

Only those Shinigami of the highest rank, such as high-ranking officials, can withstand it.

Looking at the Grim Reapers falling one after another, Kyoraku Shunsui showed a hint of surprise on his face.

The scene on Twin Phantom Hill looked tragic, but no one died. The young traveler looked young, but his precise control over his power already surpassed that of many captain-level Grim Reapers.

At the very least, he didn't think Kensei could do that.

"Those who can still move, assist the wounded in evacuating. This is not your battlefield."

After saying that, the shadow beneath Kyoraku Shunsui's feet began to wriggle, as if it had come to life. His body quickly sank into it, and even the fluctuations in spiritual pressure disappeared.

The next second, a sharp blade of light burst in the air, and Kyoraku Shunsui rushed out from the shadow behind Shiba Isshin, his long and short swords crossing each other as he slashed forward fiercely.

The spiritual pressure erupted, transforming into a brand new full moon that bloomed beneath the sky.

Faced with such an attack, Ichigo remained calm and composed. As he twisted his waist, a stream of light followed him, and the surging golden radiance instantly annihilated Kyoraku Shunsui's attack.

Its attack, still powerful, trailed a long tail of flame, and swallowed up the despicable attacker along with it.

A powerful impact exploded in the sky, and visible patterns spread in all directions, stirring up gusts of wind.

Kyoraku Shunsui, covered in charred black residue, flew backward, his face filled with astonishment:

"How terrifying! Where did Junior Brother dig up such a little monster?"

As the most intelligent of the current captains, Kyoraku Shunsui realized that this was a trial when the battle on Sogyoku Hill was fully underway.

The trial is aimed at the Gotei 13, or that trial of the Ryuka who dared to invade Soul Society without authorization.

Putting everything else aside, the performance of those elite Grim Reapers was completely substandard.

The old man, who was observing from among the crowd, turned pale when he saw the soldiers falling down in swathes like wheat.

Although the current Shinigami are indeed much stronger than the Gotei 13 of the past.

However, faced with this unexpected situation, they were still caught off guard and had no chance to fight back.

With such poor results, he's probably going to have to endure some hellish training next.

Kyoraku Shunsui made a gloating clicking sound, looking every bit the jovial person.

But at that moment, an aged voice reached his ears with perfect accuracy:

"Captain of the Jing Band, if you lose this battle, hmph..."

The consequences weren't mentioned, but they were far more terrifying than if they had been.

Kyoraku Shunsui's expression froze, and as he shivered, he unleashed a violent pillar of spiritual pressure, illuminating Sōkyō Hill.

With a resolute attitude, he charged forward again toward Ichigo.

However, this delay allowed someone to get there first.

"Hahaha, let's fight!"

The newcomer had bloodshot eyes and a sinister grin on his face; he was even more ferocious than a demon crawling out of hell.

Kenpachi Zaraki raised his serrated longsword, pointed it forward, and unleashed his golden spiritual pressure without any concealment.

He launched his attack before Ichigo had a chance to react.

Because he frequently challenges Naraku, Kenpachi Zaraki is now far stronger than he was in the original timeline.

Not only did they successfully learn the initial release, but they also mastered the Hollowfication, a skill that every team leader is equipped with.

He was just one step away from Bankai, but Naraku Sora stopped him.

In Naraku Sora's mind, once Kenpachi Zaraki learns Bankai, Yachiru Kusajishi will disappear completely.

In fact, after learning the initial release, the state of Kusajishi Yachiru's existence became somewhat unstable.

Therefore, Naraku Sora entrusted this project to his most trusted subordinate.

He promised a week's vacation once he developed a way to allow Yachiru Kusashi to exist while also teaching Kenpachi Zaraki Bankai.

and so.

Aside from his inescapable work assignments, Kisuke spent the rest of his time researching the connection between Noshiro and Kusajishi Yachiru.

With a burst of blade light, Kenpachi Zaraki launched an attack like a wild beast, his golden spiritual pressure surging wildly, burning like flames across his body.

Faced with such a fierce attack, Ichigo dared not be careless and immediately activated his Bloodlust Armor.

Mottled lines covered his body, and veins bulged on his arms. He raised the watermelon knife, Zhan Yue, high in the air, and then brought it down with a thud like a heavy hammer.

In this sudden battle, he completely abandoned techniques and let his body be driven by instinct.

boom--

A terrifying shockwave spread across the sky, crashing into the distant execution platform and causing a tremor.

"Swastika!!"

The two blades clashed and separated instantly, creating a tremendous shockwave that gave Ichigo a brief respite, allowing him to unleash his power.

"Heavenly Lock Moon Slayer!"

The materialized spiritual pressure surged forth, and waves of light of different colors collided with each other, bursting forth with the high-pitched roar of steel rubbing against steel.

After the spiritual storm dissipated, a completely new Ichigo appeared before everyone, under the gaze of countless astonished eyes.

The change in the style of his Shinigami outfit made him look several inches thinner than before.

Intertwined patterns are presented in front of the body, and the forked hem is as graceful as a ribbon.

The most eye-catching item is the Zanpakuto, with three wavy curves on its slender blade, and a slightly curved but sharper edge.

Below, Naraku saw this scene, raised an eyebrow, and scoffed disdainfully:

"Such a short thing, and you dare call it Bankai?"

Yamamoto glared angrily.

Where is this Zanpakuto too short? It's perfectly just the right size!

Do you think everyone's Bankai is like yours, covering most of Seireitei without warning?

Ichigo took a deep breath, and as he activated his Bankai, the mottled blood-red patterns surged forth again, covering his body and amplifying his already exaggerated power.

His Bankai is different from before.

Three days of intensive training allowed him to comprehend a power called Fullbring.

When this power is fused into the power of the Shinigami, the form of the Bankai changes.

While it's unclear whether this change is good or bad, one thing is certain: he's stronger than before!

Ichigo rallied his spirits and faced Kenpachi Zaraki's charging attack head-on, unleashing his strongest strike in his current state.

"Crescent Moon Sky Slash!"

A torrent of black and gold water roared out from the blade, instantly bridging the distance between them.

A deafening roar erupted, as if the sky were collapsing and the earth were splitting apart.

Kenpachi Zaraki vanished from the spot, as if he had evaporated, leaving only a thin wisp of air emitting a mournful cry.

Kyoraku Shunsui stared wide-eyed in astonishment at the scene of being blasted into the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

That's Kenpachi Zaraki, the captain of the Eleventh Division!

How could he be defeated in one move?

Just as he was in shock, Ichigo's gaze locked onto a figure in the distance.

He knew very well that he was trapped deep within the Seireitei, surrounded by many captains, and that he had to finish the battle quickly.

If it drags on for too long, there will be no hope left.

Ichigo took a step forward, and a massive shadow carrying spiritual pressure instantly loomed over Kyoraku Shunsui's face.

Facing the raging wind, he raised his long, black sword and whispered:

"I'm sorry, but I have reasons why I have to do this."
