Personally Carrying Out the Execution

"Buzz!"

Within Danyūen, Fake Kyoraku's Spiritual Pressure and Captain-General Yamamoto's Spiritual Pressure began plummeting wildly at the same time.

Although Fake Kyoraku was a Projection summoned by Ross, the foundation sustaining the Projection was still Ross's own Spiritual Pressure.

Therefore, his Spiritual Pressure was also declining along with the activation of Danyūen.

However, Captain-General Yamamoto possessed peak S-plus Spiritual Pressure, which had been forcibly boosted to the SS-class level with the amplification of Bankai.

Meanwhile, his base Spiritual Pressure was already SS-class. After Bankai, it had effortlessly risen to SS-plus.

Furthermore, his SS-plus was only called that because the upper limit of this world was SS-plus. In reality, it was a notch above ordinary SS-plus.

Merely exhausting one Captain-General Yamamoto's Spiritual Pressure would cause him some depletion, but it would never truly hurt him.

He even had enough strength left to project this brutal war of attrition onto the skies outside in an extremely artistic and cruel fashion.

"It really is... spectacular enough to drive one to despair."

Jushiro Ukitake raised his head and stared at the strange, dazzling sky overhead, letting out a bitter sigh.

It was no longer simply black pines or daylight.

The pitch-black pine needles that had originally blanketed the heavens had actually begun to burn.

This was no ordinary fire, but flames representing Captain-General Yamamoto's Spiritual Pressure. Scorching tongues of fire spread wildly along the black pine needles, licking at them as they tried to burn them to nothing.

Yet those black pine needles were like stubborn rocks. No matter how fiercely the flames burned, they continued to grow and entwine without end, in turn strangling and devouring the fire bit by bit.

It was like a massive moving oil painting hanging above the Seireitei.

Flames and black pines tangled and tore at each other.
