The Fall of Captain-Commander Yamamoto

"Space-Time Reversal."

Dōsan Hanyū Tōshirō unleashed his Kidō, Kido.

Beside him, a vortex of the surrounding environment appeared, swirling and flashing through images like a movie.

His appearance is mostly identical to that of Tōshirō Hitsugaya.

In the video, Tōshirō Hitsugaya is seen wearing the uniform of the Tenth Division captain, which is placed in the hands of a group of people who appear to be Quincy.

There is a scene where Hitsugaya in the World of the Living and confronts the female Arrancar, Tier Harribel.

There's a scene Hitsugaya is instantly Aizen.

There are scenes of Hitsugaya studying at the Shin'ō Academy of Spiritual Arts.

Finally, the scene freezes on Hitsugaya eating watermelon at his grandmother's house.

Dōsan Hanyū's gaze turned cold as he reached out his hand towards Hitsugaya in this illusory scene.

As you can see in the video, Hitsugaya, who is biting into a watermelon, is panicked and doesn't understand what's happening to him. He looks left and right, wanting to run away, but also wanting to stand in front of his grandmother.

Unintentionally, Hitsugaya's entire body emitted a chilling aura, causing a slight stinging sensation in Dōsan Hanyū's hand.

Dōsan turned back to look at the strangely dressed boy in front of him. The boy also turned back to look at Dōsan. With a flick of his mechanical wind cane, he was blown away by the wind like a phantom.

They've left.

Soi Fon leaned weakly on the ground. She had clearly become stronger, so why was she still unable to help?

"Don't mind him, Soi Fon," Dōsan suddenly spoke, but his expression was serious. "This could be a visitor from the future."

"Visitors from the future?"

Soi Fon murmured a couple of sentences.

"Let's go. Seireitei may be facing its greatest crisis in thousands of years."

Dōsan Hanyū Soi Fon somewhat taken aback by Yuzuru Dosan's formal words. After overcoming her initial shock, Soi Fon also noticed the Spiritual Pressure emanating from the Seireitei, which resembled fireworks.

"Captain-Commander Yamamoto?"

Soi Fon was horrified, her hands trembling uncontrollably. She could feel Captain-Commander Yamamoto's Spiritual Pressure gradually dissipating.

In the distance, Dōsan could sense that Captain-Commander Yamamoto's Spiritual Pressure had faded like a burnt-out candle, flickering Soi Fon the wind, casting shadows of Captain-Commander Yamamoto calling out to him.

Not to mention Soi Fon, even Dōsan Hanyū couldn't imagine what kind of person could defeat Captain-Commander Yamamoto head-on.

That's not all.

The Spiritual Pressure of the three captains Retsu Unohana, Sajin Komamura, and Jūshirō Ukitake, also became extremely weak.

They too suffered extraordinary and devastating losses!

"Let's go, there might still be a chance to rescue Captain-Commander Yamamoto."

Dōsan used Shunpo in front, with Soi Fon following behind with a tense expression.

They soon arrived at the First Division Barracks, where Chōjirō Sasakibe lay in a pool of blood at the main entrance.

"Vice-Captain Sasakibe!"

Soi Fon exclaimed in surprise, wanting to go forward and check his body. This diligent and conscientious vice-captain was a senior figure highly respected by the Soul Reaper.

He was a living history of the Thirteenth Division, a living fossil, and it's unexpected that he would fall to these mysterious invaders like this.

"There's nothing we can do now." Dōsan shook his head. "Let's go in."... Once they stepped into the First Division Barracks, the heat wave that hit them made Soi Fon feel dizzy and disoriented.

Whole swathes of houses were reduced to scorched earth. At this moment, even the most basic building blocks of this world, the Reishi, seemed to radiate warmth.

Further on, Captain-Commander Yamamoto was naked, one of his arms charred. His body had been destroyed at the Reishi level, and even Dōsan was powerless to reverse the damage. Such injuries could not withstand his Space-Time Kidō.

But Captain-Commander Yamamoto was still clinging to life.

He was waiting for Dōsan to arrive.

"Dōsan Hanyū, can I trust you?"

Dōsan paused, glancing first at Soi Fon, then at the heavily injured Byakuya and Isshin in the distance. "I will protect the people I value most, and they are inseparable from the Seireitei."

"I see... that's fine too." Only now did Captain-Commander Yamamoto resemble a frail old man.

"The enemy I face is a strangely dressed, short-haired orange-haired boy who seems to be wielding the power of space and time. His Zanpakuto is named— Zangetsu!"

"Zangetsu!"

Dōsan kept repeating this name, and the two children gradually brightened, lost in thought.

Do you know who the enemy is?

Yamamoto shook his head. "I suspect it might be related to the Kuchiki Clan's heirloom, the Soul King Blade — the Universe."

"Universe."

Soi Fon murmured something, then looked at Dōsan with a somewhat blank expression. Just moments ago, they were discussing this legendary Zanpakuto. Could it be a coincidence?

"Next, we may face the Seireitei, the most severe test in thousands of years. Dōsan Hanyū, the Soul Society is in your hands."

Captain-Commander Yamamoto stretched out his hand, but his entire arm turned into Reishi and dissipated.

Soi Fon was still bewildered.

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, the strongest Soul Reaper in a thousand years, actually fell right in front of him.

What do we do next?

Without thinking, Dōsan blurted out, "Go and gather all the captains, and request reinforcements from Kisuke Urahara, Shinji Hirako, and the Zero Division."

Upon hearing Kisuke Urahara's annoying name, Soi Fon remained silent this time.

Looking around, all that could be seen was devastation. Soi Fon, who was always warlike and strong-willed, was now so helpless.

What will become of the Seireitei?

An arm gently embraced Soi Fon, pulling her out of her fear.

Dōsan smiled serenely, "I'll take care of everything."
