Reverently Present and Worship: Nine Heavens Mirror Valley

Upon closer reflection, Dōsan Hanyū has been nothing short of legendary since his debut.

The story of Dōsan Hanyū can only be described with two words: invincible and legendary.

Every time, the audience, the Soul Reapers, and even the captains thought that Dōsan Hanyū was no good.

Just now, Dōsan Hanyū taught Tokinada a lesson as easily as cutting melons and vegetables, and no one believed that Dōsan Hanyū could do that.

Jin'ya was a time.

In an era where only those known as "Soul Reapers " stand on the stage, Jin'ya Tsunayashiro writes his own story behind the scenes.

His reputation was not only due to his noble lineage, but also to Jin'ya Tsunayashiro strength.

A hundred years ago, the Zero Division, which was directly under the control of the royal family, invited Jin'ya Tsunayashiro to join the Zero Division.

The Five Great Noble Clans also facilitated this, as Jin'ya was the only one among the Five Great Noble Clans of the time who was qualified.

However, for some unknown reason, Jin'ya refused.

In the history of Soul Society, Jin'ya Tsunayashiro is like the sun, always shining brightly in the sky.

However, today, the sun has finally been shot down by a fleeting comet.

"Big, big event."

"It's over, none of them can escape."

"We must also bear the wrath of the Tsunayashiro Clan."

These innocent bystanders were first defeated by Jin'ya's two Kidō, scattering them in all directions, and now they were about to experience this again.

The Tsunayashiro Clan has never been known for its reasonableness, and they bear a heavy responsibility for the death of Jin'ya, the heir of the Tsunayashiro Clan.

Moreover, these minor nobles are currently experiencing complex emotions.

Many of them grew up listening to stories of Jin'ya, never imagining that today, one generation would bury another.

This is just too... good.

Let alone Jin'ya, even if any one of the Five Great Noble Clans, those arrogant and domineering fellows, were randomly selected to be executed, they would laugh in their beds.

"Call."

With his Spiritual Pressure nearly exhausted, Dōsan gasped for breath as he looked at the corpse before him, which was now barely recognizable as human.

Although he was certain that the murderer was the culprit, the guy was going to kill him anyway, so it didn't matter to him.

Even Kūkaku, who was closest to Dōsan, was startled; she hadn't noticed anything unusual.

In fact, it would be quite reasonable for even a top-tier captain to die under the Black Coffin cast by Captain-level Soul Reaper.

It's reasonable, but hard to accept.

Jin'ya became famous many years earlier than her older brother Kaien, and Kūkaku was well aware of his strength.

He never imagined that his little brother, who was a great cook, trained relentlessly, and couldn't understand human speech, would actually be strong enough to defeat and kill Jin'ya.

If he had a few more decades, could he...?

Shaking his head, Kūkaku dismissed this unrealistic idea.

We can't drag Dōsan into such a dangerous situation; only she can avenge her father.

Besides, now is not the time to think about these things.

Kūkaku straightened her chest and took Dōsan's hand; now was not the time to think about such things.

Because of Dōsan's condition, he was blocked by the reinforcements from the Tsunayashiro Clan, and that was the end of him.

Dōsan did not resist, letting Kūkaku He take his arm.

Just as the two were about to leave, a sword beam slashed vertically towards them. Dōsan reacted faster, pushing Kūkaku aside, and the two separated, barely avoiding the sword beam.

"Kūkaku, you may leave, but Dōsan Hanyū will stay."

Dōsan didn't even bother to answer, raising his finger, the Byakurai at his fingertip like a submachine gun.

At this moment, Ichimonji Tsunayashiro was somewhat shaky.

The boy in front of him was none other than Jin'ya, the strongest member of the Tsunayashiro Clan, who had just been defeated by several hundred men.

But faced with Dōsan's barrage of Byakurai like a pistol, Ichimonji calmly chanted.

"Respectfully presented to the Nine Heavens Mirror Valley."

A white, round shield blocked Ichimonji, and bolts of Byakurai struck the shield one after another.

Zanpakuto Release?

Although Dōsan Hanyū is well-informed due to his position in the Second Division, he has not yet thoroughly investigated Ichimonji and the Zanpakuto Ichimonji.

With just this one strike, Dōsan clearly sensed that the round shield possessed astonishing defensive power—a high-intensity defense unrelated to offensive attributes.

Kūkaku glanced at the sword in Tsunayashiro Tokinada's hand, his voice low and serious, "Dōsan, be careful. That sword... it's Zanpakuto through generations of the Tsunayashiro Clan."

Although the abilities of this Zanpakuto are still unknown, compared to Miroku of the Shiba Clan, it is enough to make Kūkaku take it seriously.

Dōsan also sensed the extraordinary nature of this Zanpakuto and dared not be careless. The surrounding Spiritual Pressure vibrated, and Dōsan stretched out his hand and shouted, "Hadō #88: Hiryū Gekizoku Shinten Raihō!"

With a soft "whoosh," Dōsan adjusted the limited Spiritual Pressure within his body, abandoning the chanting to release the Eighty-Eighth High-Rank Kidō.

With a deafening roar, Dōsan's Kidō instantly shattered the white shield, and visibly, half of Ichimonji Tsunayashiro's body was blasted away.

Another one died?

Kūkaku Shiba felt a chill run down her spine. All she could think about now was how to persuade her older brother to launch a full-scale attack on the Tsunayashiro Clan.

It's not that simple.

Dōsan sensed something was wrong and remained vigilant until a surge of Spiritual Pressure suddenly appeared behind him.

Dōsan keenly sensed the danger and lunged forward to escape the range of Ichimonji's attack. But at that moment, Ichimonji's Zanpakuto suddenly lengthened and slashed Dōsan's back.

Is this also the power of the Nine Heavens Mirror Valley?

The blow landed squarely, Dōsan was seriously injured, but he was clearly more concerned about the Zanpakuto's abilities.

Kūkaku engaged in close Hakuda, exchanging two blows with Ichimonji before kicking him Ichimonji. She then crouched down next to Dōsan, cautiously glancing at Ichimonji. "Are you alright?"

Dōsan shook his head.

The two also noticed that the "Ichimonji" that had just been struck by Dōsan Kidō had now turned into a straw doll of the same height.

It's another Zanpakuto ability. Since the release of the Nine Heavens Mirror Valley, he has used three Zanpakuto abilities in a row.

"That scarecrow just now died in someone else's place." Kūkaku frowned, hesitated for a moment, and recalled the memories in her mind, "It seems to be the Zanpakuto of the Third Division's Third Seat from a hundred years ago, Hyakusō's ability."

Because it is so famous, even those who don't care about the Soul Reaper, Kūkaku, have heard of this sword's reputation.

Dōsan nodded in agreement, "The Zanpakuto has extended; it seems to be the ability of Gin Ichimaru, the vice-captain of the Shin'ō Artificial Soul Noble Guard."

The ability to copy Zanpakuto, and even to copy multiple Zanpakuto?

This ability is just too outrageous!

"Respectfully presented to the Nine Heavens Mirror Valley." Faced with the powerful alliance of Dōsan Hanyū and Kūkaku, Ichimonji dared not be careless and unleashed his power once again.

Dōsan and his companion tensed up, back to back, awaiting the next attack.

"Brother Dōsan, here's your knife."

Not far away, a familiar call rang out, followed by a black Zanpakuto landing at Dōsan's feet.

--A side note--

Brothers, asking for monthly votes isn't too much to ask, is it?
