After resolving the Shikai issues and safety concerns regarding the Isuzu, Jun was basically at ease.
There's not much to worry about with Jing; Shunsui Kyōraku is there. Besides, Jing's strength is really good. Although she can't compare to Jun, her stats alone are enough to put her at Captain-level strength. Once you get to know her better, she'll definitely be a weaker Captain-level. She seems to be on par with Rukia the original work, just lacking the protagonist's plot armor.
The Eighth Division has Shunsui Kyōraku, Thirteenth Division has Jūshirō Ukitake. But I'm not trying to belittle Ukitake; the biggest problem for the Thirteenth Division in this war might be Ukitake. If he explodes, the entire Thirteenth Division might be wiped out.
However, there shouldn't be any problems, since it's a surprise attack and only expected to last an hour. Hitting and running is the best strategy, and that hour is also for the captains; the goal is to ensure the elimination of the three Vasto Lorde- class officers in the Void Army.
Three days later, all the participants stood at the entrance of their respective squads. Then, the members of the Twelfth Division and the Kidō Corps completed their Kidō incantations, and the Captain-Commander began to speak.
Old Man Yamamoto said some obscure and difficult things, but Jun felt that since everyone else could understand it, she could too. However, she was simply indifferent to this kind of thing, so Jun only caught the most important sentence.
"May your military campaign prosper! Let's set off!"
The Senkaimon opened, and everyone began to rush into Hueco Mundo.
The speed of their entry was extremely fast, and because the captains led the way, each captain had already prepared their first attack within the Dangai, and upon exiting, they unleashed a powerful combo. Then, the subsequent single-digit squads also unleashed their own powerful attacks.
Jun started chanting incantations from the very beginning, and the Fifth Division members around him couldn't help but feel intimidated.
"Born with divine spirit, an Undying saint, matched with four, uniquely one. The Azure Dragon of Thunder in the East, the White Dragon of Gale in the West, the Ink Dragon of Dark Water in the North, the Fiery Dragon of Scorching Sun in the South, and the Golden Clawed Qilin in the Center. Wood, Metal, Water, Fire, Earth, Formless or birth, all five elements give rise to life, Undying revolving, while all phenomena perish!"
"Hadō #99: Five Dragon Destruction!"
Chun's attack was unmatched in power outside of Captain-level, because Chun's Kidō incantation speed was too fast. For an average person, casting the Five Dragon Destruction would take several minutes, mainly due to the need to mobilize Spiritual Power. To complete the Five Dragon Destruction spell in such a short time within the Dangai was something no ordinary person could do.
Ten teams, each opening Senkaimon from one direction, charged directly at the Void army in a pincer movement. The first wave had already reduced a portion of the massive Void army's outer perimeter.
That's about it. This virtual army probably numbers around 100,000, with no end in sight. Even the opening points of the Senkaimon are calculated. Kudos to the genius Kisuke Urahara, he's truly amazing.
The Hollows were clearly stunned, but being Hollows, they didn't have the concept of an army, even though they were gathered together. The Hollows immediately launched a counterattack, and a barrage of powerful Reiatsu descended instantly.
This was the moment to test the captains. Kuruyashiki Kenpachi directly confronted a Vasto Lorde, Shunsui Kyōraku followed suit by single-handedly finding another Vasto Lorde, and Kuchiki Ginrei, the captain of the Sixth Division, also found a Vasto Lorde.
However, there was one extra Vasto Lorde, which was taken up by Sorachi Murozō, the Captain of the Ninth Division.
Then the remaining captains found Adjuchas one by one, but it still wasn't enough. Two or three of the First Division Bigwigs went to find the Adjuchas together, only to discover that they were still missing one.
"I'll go!" Chun jumped out to cause trouble for that Adjuchas.
Fighting a pure Adjuchas doesn't necessarily mean defeat. The Rhinoceros Beetle I encountered over fifty years ago was an exceptionally strong Adjuchas, probably almost at the level of Vasto Lorde. The one I'm facing now isn't that strong.
However, it's not something that can be easily resolved. In battle, combat power is determined by three attributes: Reiatsu, Spiritual Flow, and Spiritual Sensitivity. Purely, I guarantee my spiritual pressure is higher than this Adjuchas. But the difference in Spiritual Pool is too great, so a prolonged battle will be a guaranteed loss; I must kill it quickly. And to kill it quickly, I also need to pay attention to its vitality, like its High-Speed Regeneration, right?
Without further ado, Chun went straight in and unleashed a Rikujōkōrō. This Adjuchas looked like an ant; six Rikujōkōrō locked all his legs, and then Chun prepared to chant.
Just then, a beam of light descended, instantly piercing the head of the ant Adjuchas, then sweeping backward and splitting Adjuchas in two.
"Uh, thank you~", Jun saw who it was, the Sixth Seat of the 11th Division, Sōya Azashiro, the future eighth Kenpachi.
"Hmm~", Sōya Azashiro, taking the kill without hesitation. He didn't really care about the consequences, and it seemed this person didn't care either.
This guy is a real big shot.
Sōya Azashiro was born into the upper-class noble Azashiro Clan. During his youth, his family was destroyed in factional struggles, and his entire family was killed. He even watched as his own sister was deliberately murdered. His background was extremely tragic.
This guy is a genius. He hadn't undergone any Soul Reaper training before, but after witnessing his sister's death, he instantly awakened and killed the Hollow.
During his subsequent Soul Reaper training, his Kidō-type talent was recognized; he was one of the few among the Gotei 13 Guardian Squads capable of Incantation Abandonment Kidō of the 90s or higher, even though he was relegated to the 11th Division.
Beyond his Kidō abilities, this person's Spiritual Pool is also one of the most well-known Seas of Reiatsu. Based on current impressions, this person's Spiritual Pool is even more powerful than Kyōraku's.
A genius of the Shunpo technique, known as the "Kama Itachi," his Shunpo skills are said to rival those of Shihoin.
One of the users with innate ability to release his Zanpakuto, his Zanpakuto cannot revert to its Shikai form after being released, making him even more powerful than Ichigo Kurosaki and Kenpachi Zaraki.
His passive ability is "Invisible Blade," meaning he always carries a sword with him, but no one can see where it is. It's Kidō-type- type ability that ignores all enemy debuffs and attacks; even Aizen's Kyōka Suigetsu couldn't hypnotize him.
His active ability is perfect control over Reishi. He can manipulate himself to break down into Reishi and then merge himself into anything composed of Reishi, thus gaining control over that object. This ability can even control the Soul Reaper.
Given enough time to develop, he could even control the entire Seireitei.
However, his weakness is also obvious. If the Reishi he has distributed are destroyed, he will suffer damage equivalent to those parts being erased. If a certain amount of his own Reishi are destroyed, it is almost equivalent to instant death.
Jun watched Sōya Azashiro went to deal with other battles. His arrival swiftly accelerated the destruction of Adjuchas, as he was a truly formidable Captain-level.
However, overall, the Soul Reaper are not at an advantage. Incredible Reiatsu is everywhere on the map. The captains are fighting Vasto Lorde, and the Reiatsu is incredibly strong.
In this situation, since Hollows are all seas of Reiatsu, the occasional mistake of having their abilities erased by the Reiatsu generated by a battle between gods is not a problem for Hollows.
But it's a different story for the Soul Reaper. Soul Reaper ultimate attack, painstakingly crafted, was destroyed by the dissipated Reiatsu of a battle between gods. He can't unleash many more like that; every fight reduces his chances.
So the top fighters of the First Division started getting injured; Adjuchas is still strong.
The scene shifts to several captains battling Vasto Lorde. Kuruyashiki Kenpachi is facing a bull warrior wearing Horned Mask —though the bull warrior will never remove his Hollowfication Mask, pshaw!
The Bull Warrior is a formidable melee-type Vasto Lorde. Kuruyashiki Kenpachi, but was quickly pushed back after only two rounds.
"Haha! Weak!" This bull warrior Vasto Lorde, could utter some simple words, but these weren't just empty boasts. Before his words even finished, a bronze-colored Spiritual Power emanated from his body, like a strength buff in a game. The Spiritual Power formed a muscular pose with his arms bent upwards, and trembled violently a few times.
Then, this guy transformed into a cannonball and slammed into Kuruyashiki Kenpachi's position. The force of this punch shattered the air in front of him, creating a huge whirlwind that even interfered with other parts of the battlefield.
Kuruyashiki Kenpachi to ascend into the air Shunpo dodge. Now, looking down from his vantage point, he frowned, held his sword level, and chanted...
"Born of slaughter, respecting darkness and aging forever, unfold, the Gagaku Kairō!"
The Blade Body vanished instantly, and bizarre creatures, each the size of a white bear with only a mouth and four limbs, emerged from the void and charged madly towards the bull warrior.
Kuruyashiki Kenpachi's Shikai ability is to summon about thirty white creatures, each about the size of a bear. These summons have only one mouth and will devour any target within their hunting range. They will accelerate when commanded, making it a rare biological-type Shikai.
Let's call these things "Mouth Bears." As soon as they appeared, these Mouth Bears charged straight at their sole target, the bull warrior, and opened their massive jaws to bite him. However, despite their speed, these Mouth Bears were no match for Vasto Lorde, and were kicked away by the bull warrior.
However, there were thirty Mouth Bears. One was kicked away, and another immediately took its place. The Bull Warrior punched the Hollows on the ground, causing them to suffer. The Mouth Bears then began to eat the nearest Hollows, and with each Hollow they ate, they grew larger.
After smashing three of them, the Bull Warrior discovered a particularly large Mouth Bear below, which was troublesome. However, just as he was about to make a move, a figure almost as tall as him suddenly appeared and punched him in the stomach.
The immense Spiritual Power collided, Kuruyashiki Kenpachi's fist left a fist mark on the bull warrior's stomach, but that was all. How could Kenpachi be stronger without his Kenpachi?
The bull warrior's fist slammed into Kuruyashiki Kenpachi's face, but the next moment it transformed into a Mouth Bear taking a beating, as Kuruyashiki Kenpachi, not far away, began to gather strength for his second punch.
The Bull Warrior, of course, was unwilling. With a shake of his arm, another muscular phantom appeared, unleashing powerful Spiritual Power that surged towards the Mouth Bears. However, he discovered that the Mouth Bears were absorbing his Spiritual Power with their mouths wide open. As a result, his burst of energy didn't even manage to blast the Mouth Bear; it only made Mouth Bear appear slightly larger.
The larger Mouth Bears pounced again. The ones on the ground were almost as big as a Gillian. Kuruyashiki Kenpachi was also among Mouth Bears use powerful fist attacks. As long as you have enough Spiritual Power, you can use anything!
The bull warrior was suffering terribly from the punches and kicks, until finally a Kongbu Reiatsu descended. The bronze-colored phantom on the bull warrior's body erupted in bursts, the powerful Spiritual Power enveloping the battlefield within a certain radius. Fortunately, this location was near the center of the Void Army, still far from the outer Soul Reaper; otherwise, the Soul Reaper caught in the blast would have ended up like what happened next.
The Mouth Bears and the Hollows on the ground were enveloped in Spiritual Power. The Mouth Bear wide to devour the Spiritual Power, while the Hollows could do nothing. Then the Spiritual Power began to compress, and the Hollows Explosion one by one, crushed back into Spiritual Power. The Mouth Bears, too, began to be squeezed and deformed before Explosion.
The continuous, massive Explosions severely disrupted the other three battlefields.
After a gust of wind cleared the dust, the Bull Warrior stood there, Kuruyashiki Kenpachi with rage. Behind Kenpachi, more Mouth Bear, their original size now reverting to its original form.
"Ah~!" the Bull Warrior roared. This time, even more muscular afterimages fused with his power. He charged forward and smashed Mouth Bear to pieces with a single punch. The Explosion couldn't harm the Bull Warrior at all, so he began his slaughter of the Mouth Bears.
Suddenly, the Mouth Bears were gone, and Kuruyashiki Kenpachi his sword. The bull warrior laughed loudly, but then saw Kuruyashiki Kenpachi throw away his own sword.
Yes, you just throw it forward and then chant...
"The bait has been scattered, release the Gaki Shura Gagaku Kairō!"
This is Kuruyashiki Kenpachi's release. A huge shadow emerges from the ground; it is a gigantic mouth, a massive jaw, suddenly opening and swallowing the air.
The instant the giant jaw appeared—no, the instant Kuruyashiki Kenpachi and threw it—the other three battlefield captains instantly moved away, and then the three Vasto Lorde gave chase.
So, above the giant jaws, only countless voids remained on the ground and a single bull warrior in the sky. The bull warrior saw what was on the ground and sensed something was amiss.
"Trying to run?" Kuruyashiki Kenpachi punched him.
"Ahhhhhh!" the Bull Warrior roared, Kuruyashiki Kenpachi couldn't withstand and was sent flying.
But the bull warrior was also left here, and then
The giant jaw is now in place.
Moment
Close!
Then disappear
It was as if the giant jaws had never existed, but it wasn't entirely undetectable, because there was nothing there anymore—nothingness, no sand, no Reishi —and a tremendous suction force had even formed, drawing in the surrounding Reishi to fill the void.
