Zanpakuto Zangetsu, Emerge! Shocking the Entire Audience

"Replace me? Are you kidding me, old man!"

Jiang Chen never expected his Zanpakuto to rebel!

"If your strength could surpass mine, I would naturally recognize you as my master, but you are too weak. I don't think you are qualified to be my master."

Jiang Chen had watched the Bleach anime and knew about this.

He just didn't expect that even in another world, his Zanpakuto could rebel.

"I understand!"

"To defeat you is to prove I have the qualifications to be your master?"

"Yes, either defeat me, or die!"

"Haha!" Jiang Chen chuckled and asked, "What makes you so sure you're stronger than me? You're just a support-type Zanpakuto with no real combat power."

"And I, this great me, have two blades, and they are both very strong."

"Is that so? Then why are your blades in my hands right now!"

Jiang Chen's eyes widened as he watched the scene before him.

"Sode no Shirayuki, and Lapis Lazuli Infernal Fire, you two..."

"Zanpakuto only obey the strong. I am stronger than you, so you have no right to use them here!"

At this moment, Sode no Shirayuki and Lapis Lazuli Infernal Fire both appeared in Omniscience's hands.

And Jiang Chen had no blades in his hands.

So, what would he use to fight?

If this continued, he would truly die.

For the first time, Jiang Chen felt death approaching.

He struggled and struggled.

He didn't want to die.

Compared to the afterlife, he preferred his current life.

But now...

What could he use to defeat Omniscience and regain control of his Zanpakuto?

"What, giving up already!"

As he spoke, Omniscience picked up Lapis Lazuli Infernal Fire and began to chant, "Bloom, Lapis!"

Transparent flames wrapped around the blade.

They emitted rolling heatwaves, instantly igniting a corner of Jiang Chen's clothes.

Jiang Chen took off his jacket.

He quickly moved out of the combat area.

He said to Omniscience, "This great me will not lose!"

"Because... who says I don't have a Zanpakuto!"

'How is this possible?' Omniscience was greatly startled and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

He had always had a strange feeling about Jiang Chen.

A human being could contract three Zanpakuto.

This was beyond the scope of a Shinigami.

Normally, a Shinigami could only contract one Zanpakuto.

Otherwise, their body would not be able to withstand the spiritual pressure of the Zanpakuto and would disintegrate.

Yet Jiang Chen, an ordinary human, had contracted three Zanpakuto without issue.

This was beyond normal comprehension.

It could be said that Jiang Chen's Soul Power was definitely higher than any Shinigami he had ever seen.

However, the Soul Power Jiang Chen output did not seem that powerful.

Otherwise, why couldn't he summon two Zanpakuto at the same time, or why couldn't his body withstand his prolonged presence?

A person who wasn't powerful, what right did he have to be his master?

As one of the oldest Zanpakuto, he had the right to use Sode no Shirayuki and Lapis Lazuli Infernal Fire.

And Jiang Chen was destined to die today.

But now, facing death, he didn't seem afraid at all.

Jiang Chen didn't show fear.

Would it matter if he was afraid?

Fear, would Omniscience not kill him then?

Fear, could it solve problems?

Fear, could it shake his golden finger?

No!!!!

[Ding, sensing the host is in mortal danger, the system has activated its protection program, granting one use of the Zanpakuto Zangetsu.]

At this moment, a slender black Zanpakuto appeared in Jiang Chen's hand.

It was completely black, appearing exceptionally mysterious.

Omniscience saw the Zanpakuto in Jiang Chen's hand and asked, "How do you have this Zanpakuto? It has been dormant for many years."

"Uncle Zangetsu, I'm counting on you!"

Jiang Chen didn't answer, but spoke to Zangetsu in his hand.

As he finished speaking, Zangetsu, clad in a messy black robe, wearing high boots and glasses, appeared before Jiang Chen.

He glanced at Omniscience and said, "Omniscience, after all these years, you're still so boring."

"Always wanting to get rid of the Shinigami bound to you."

Zangetsu spoke to Omniscience like an elder, "I told you long ago, a Zanpakuto without a contractor has no value, but you never listen."

Omniscience retorted, "Senior Zangetsu, it's not like that. It's just that this Jiang Chen doesn't have enough ability to use me. How can such a weak person be qualified to use me?"

"I am a Zanpakuto, yes, but I also have my pride."

Omniscience completely disregarded Jiang Chen, looking at him with disdain and mockery, saying, "He's not worthy to be my master!"

Zangetsu waved his hand, and Omniscience returned to its sword form.

He said to Omniscience, "Ancient Zanpakuto possess the ability to use other Zanpakuto. I have lived longer than you, so naturally, I possess the ability to use you."

"Omniscience, you disappoint me too much."

"Since you are unwilling to obey, I will destroy you. There will be no more Omniscience from this day forward."

Zangetsu said, preparing to act.

Jiang Chen stopped him, "Uncle Zangetsu, what are you doing?"

"He is not useful to you, so what is the point of keeping him?"

Zangetsu looked at Jiang Chen and said, "He can betray you today, and he can betray you tomorrow. I can only help you this once."

Jiang Chen felt it was a pity. To possess an ancient Zanpakuto, even just one, was fortunate.

Omniscience had indeed helped him a lot.

But, for daring to try and kill him, he would rather give it up.

Zangetsu gripped Omniscience's blade and was about to break it.

With just a slight exertion of force, Omniscience would cease to exist.

"Don't kill me, I am willing to surrender to Jiang Chen."

At the moment of life and death, Omniscience compromised.

No matter how unwilling he was, facing the powerful Zangetsu, he could only act like a grandson.

"Then pledge your loyalty."

Zangetsu released the sword and took a step back.

Omniscience resumed its original form and knelt before Jiang Chen, saying, "I, Omniscience, am willing to surrender to my master."

"I will never betray you in this life and this world!"

Saying this, he lowered his head to the ground and kowtowed to Jiang Chen.

"Kneeling under the blade signifies eternal obedience,"

Zangetsu stood beside Jiang Chen and said.

"Jiang Chen, he will no longer betray you."

"Uncle Zangetsu, thank you!"

"You're welcome. I hope that the next time I see you, you will have the strength to wield me."

As he spoke, Zangetsu's clothes and hair fluttered in the wind as he floated into the air, his figure gradually disappearing.

Meanwhile, Omniscience was completely stunned. Jiang Chen had not contracted with Zangetsu.

Yet Zangetsu was willing to come out and help him.

What was the relationship between Jiang Chen and Zangetsu?

One must know that Zangetsu was once the king of Zanpakuto.

Anyone who could wield him was absolutely extraordinary.

Perhaps in the entire world, only the Soul King was qualified to wield Zangetsu.

Even now, Jiang Chen wasn't the Spirit King, so why was Zangetsu willing to help him?

In an instant, all sorts of thoughts raced through Omniscience's mind.

Yet, it didn't know which one was the correct answer.

Or perhaps none of them were.

The true answer, perhaps, could only be known in the future.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen didn't look at Omniscience at all. He had lingered here long enough; it was time to go back.

However, before leaving, he had one more question for Omniscience
