After a period of silence in Shiba family's living room.
Yan Si showed a gentle smile again.
He looked at Kukaku, his eyes were very calm, and continued.
"Kukaku, believe me."
Kūkaku Shiba and Yan Si are facing each other.
She looked at those eyes and couldn't help but think of her elder brother Kaien.
Kaien respects Yan Si very much. He often mentions it when chatting at the dinner table at home, and even says when educating Ganju Shiba:
"You should take Brother Yan Si as a person to learn from."
Because of this matter, my sister-in-law Shiba Miyako often teases me.
"Why not learn from your elder brother?"
Every time I say this, Kaien always reaches out and scratches the back of his head and lowers his head.
"Because I have escaped a lot of things." As I grow older.
Kukaku also knows that his elder brother Kaien has escaped many things, the most important of which is responsibility.
He didn't even fully inherit the family's historical heritage.
And just when the news of Yan Si's death came out, Kukaku asked Kaien.
"What if brother Yan Si is someone like Aizen?"
Since Kukaku started learning about family inheritance, he has naturally thought more about it, and his perspective on things has also changed.
In Soul Society.
There is another person like Yan Si.
His name is Aizen.
They are also loved by Shinigami and Wandering Soul. They are also gentle and kind to others.
But the latter betrayed Soul Society and went to Hueco Mundo.
Kaien responded with a serious face. "Brother Yan Si and Aizen are completely different."
He looked into Kukaku's eyes.
"Everything he did in the Human World battlefield could not be a disguise."
Kukaku rebutted again.
"Aizen hasn't been pretending for so many years, too?"
After a moment of silence.
Kaien responded again, with a serious voice.
"Yan Si brother's behavior is just a disguise."
"Then as long as the other party can keep pretending, he is worthy of learning from me."
"As long as his behavior is based on an unchanging background."
Kukaku understands what brother Kaien means.
As long as Yan Si is like before and still doesn't take itself as the starting point, that's fine. Yes, this is the biggest difference between Yan Si and Aizen.
Yan Si was thinking about human beings when Human World, and Wandering Soul when Soul Society was thinking about it.
Aizen wants to become a god and rewrite the rules, but fundamentally he also wants to stand in the sky.
The changes of Yan Si are actions based on the premise of Three Realms.
In fact, Kukaku and Kaien misunderstood on this point.
Yan Si wants to do this, to be precise, it is based on itself as the starting point.
His soul comes from a distant place, and he wants to change this world. Why doesn't he have the desire to see the familiar world at work?
But no one would believe these things even if Yan Si said it.
Kukaku After finishing thinking, he nodded solemnly with a firm voice.
"Yan Si Brother, I need some time to prepare."
As she said that, she stood up, opened the door and yelled.
"Koganehiko Ginkanehiko, get ready to set off the fireworks!" She turned her head again and shouted towards a room next to her.
"Ganju, come here quickly!"
After saying hello, she looked back at Yan Si and whispered.
"Yan Si brother..."
As he spoke, he paused, hesitated for a moment, did not continue, and immediately walked away.
The last thing she wanted to say was that she hoped Yan Si would still consider Three Realms, but in the end it turned into trust.
Yan Si looked at her back, leaned back slightly, smiled and said softly.
"Judging from Kukaku's current actions, it is indeed possible to go up."
Only then did I know the Aizen hidden around me.
It turns out that Yan Si didn't really know that Shiba family had a way to enter Royal Palace, it was just a guess.
He stepped out of the shadows and sat across from Yan Si.
Aizen looked at Yan Si with a little surprise in his eyes. Yan Si saw Aizen's somewhat surprised look, and said with a proud smile.
"Isn't that surprising?"
"A plan like this is based on nothing more than a guess."
You must know that the guy in front of you is Aizen.
It's certainly worth a little bit of pride to make him feel surprised.
Aizen nodded and responded with a smile.
"Yeah."
"Create a melee with Three Realms and then sneak attack Royal Palace."
"Just a guess."
"This is too much of a gamble."
For Aizen.
With such vague information, it is absolutely impossible to formulate a plan. If it were him, he would choose to make such a plan only if he got tangible evidence and knew that Shiba family had a way to board Royal Palace.
Aizen would never act haphazardly without being 99% sure.
Yan Si slightly sprayed out two streams of heat from his nostrils and said with a smile.
"Because I'm human."
Aizen It was unexpected again this time.
"Huh?"
He frowned slightly, as if he didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.
Yan Si continued.
"Humanity has developed into what it is today in its short life."
He looked at Aizen and explained.
"It's because I dare to take risks."
"If you stand still because of the unknown." "If you turn around and run away because of fear."
"Then humans are no different from Monkey right now."
He raised his head and looked at the sky and whispered.
"The hymn of humanity is the hymn of courage."
Aizen was silent.
He sat there and looked at the smiling face of Yan Si.
He responded with a very serious expression.
"That's it."
"Been taught a lesson."
At the same time, Aizen also understood why Yan Si wanted to attack Royal Palace.
Just as what came out of Yan Si's mouth before.
I just want to see if the unknown outside is dangerous. If it is, then do everything possible to eliminate the danger.
Facing the unknown, this is how human beings have come forward step by step.
Aizen closed his eyes slightly.
He murmured in his heart.
The courage to take risks?
Really...
Strange yet familiar words.
He had been exploring various unknowns until he thought he had completely seen through Three Realms.
Now that I think about it, as I learned more and more, I gradually came to realize that Shinigami is a common problem.
Arrogant.
Unconsciously, I also have this mentality?
Hueco Mundo battlefield.
There is a relatively quiet area between the main battlefield and the edge.
Thirteen Court Guard Squads Fourth Division Almost all the members are here.
They set up temporary tents, rolled out emergency blankets, filled them with various medical equipment, and carried out wartime treatment.
But the strange thing is that many team members use Human World human first aid methods.
Clean the wound, stop bleeding, bandage it with stitches, and then use Kaidō to lightly treat it.
A soldier was lying on a stretcher with a deep knife mark on his chest and his flesh was rolled up.
Lieutenant Isane Kotetsu squatted beside him, holding a needle and thread in his hand to quickly sew up the wound.
The needle passes through the skin and flesh, the thread is tightened, and the movement is very steady and fast.
After the suturing was completed, she stretched out her hand, and a faint green light lit up in her palm, which was the light of Kaidō.
The light fell on the wound, and the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. But it was only superficial healing, and the internal damage was still there.
Isane took back his hand and took a breath, sweat dripping from his forehead.
Next to him, another team member was cleaning the wounds of the wounded.
I used Reishi salt water made by the Research and Development Bureau.
Pour it in, rinse it and dry it with gauze, then sew, and then Kaidō.
Fourth Division In the medical unit.
Kaidō can use Kaidō to quickly reconnect someone else's severed limbs. Currently, only Retsu Unohana is the only one.
Even if it is Lieutenant Isane Kotetsu, the broken position must be sutured with spiritual thread before Kaidō can be used to heal the wound quickly.
In other words, compared to Kidō, the overall level of Kaidō is very low.
Of course, this is also related to the roots of Thirteen Court Guard Squads.
After all, it was a team of lunatics and Killer from the beginning, and they didn't care about treatment.
Although First Generation Gotei 13 has divided responsibilities, Eleventh Division is also the strongest combat unit. But whether it is the intelligence unit of Eighth Division, the Nobles unit of Sixth Division, or the medical unit of Fourth Division.
Their core thing is to kill people.
If it weren't for the existence of First Kenpachi Unohana Retsu, there would be no Kaidō medical unit in Thirteen Court Guard Squads.
At that time, after Kirinji developed Kaidō and Healing Hot Spring, he was invited by Monk to become a member of Squad Zero.
Only Unohana Retsu learned from Kaidō, but the original intention was just to kill people happily.
Later, after she became Fourth Division Captain, she also looked for talents and devoted herself to teaching her subordinates.
But in Thirteen Court Guard Squads, or even if you start in First Academy of Spirit Arts, there are not many talents who are determined to become Shinigami and will choose to learn Kaidō.
Even the current Lieutenant and Isane Kotetsu, who was born with spiritual power Fourth-Class, were forcibly brought back by Retsu Unohana.
Otherwise, there won't even be a single high-level Lingwei talent in the team.
No matter how much you practice Kaidō, it is impossible to become strong.
Fortunately, in today's battlefield, most of them are combat damage.
Using Human World's medical treatment, combined with Kaidō's Reishi healing, was enough to save the lives of the wounded. The wounded were lying on stretchers, some groaning and some unconscious.
Some opened their eyes and looked at the sky.
The team members were busy rushing through the area, rescuing one after another.
And in this busy field medical office.
A wild voice sounded in the sky.
"Healing in the battlefield?"
Sixth Espada Grimmjow came here.
He stood in the air, looking down at the busy figures below.
Look at the wounded lying down and the soldiers running around.
He was very dissatisfied, and a strong desire for destruction emerged from his heart.
He didn't allow there to be such a quiet place in the battlefield.
It must be destroyed! He raised his Zanpakutō in his right hand and pointed it at the sky, preparing to destroy the disharmonious factors in the war.
But what Grimmjow doesn't know is.
Why didn't Wandenreich's knights and many ordinary Hollows come to attack here?
That's because there is a faint smell of blood lingering around here.
Moreover, this smell of blood has always frightened the uneducated Hollows around them.
As for Wandenreich, those people have long known that the captain of Fourth Division is not easy to mess with.
It's just that he was used to the smell of blood and didn't notice it.
The smell is very light and light, but it is everywhere.
In the camp, Isane raised his head and saw the figure in the sky.
Her expression changed instantly and she said urgently.
"Captain, Espada is coming to attack!"
She quickly stretched out her right hand, preparing to use Kidō to contact support. But a hand put on her arm and pushed her down.
Isane turned his head, looked at the captain next to him who looked like Yamato Nadeshiko, and asked with some confusion.
"Captain?"
Unohana Retsu stood there.
She was wearing white Captain's Haori, with her hands crossed in front of her and a gentle smile on her face.
She said gently while reaching out to untie her braid.
"Isane, now all captains have opponents."
"No one can support us."
The braids were loosened, and the long black hair spread over her shoulders and fell to her waist.
Isane I just felt a chill running from my tailbone into my brain. The chill was very cold and heavy.
She felt endless killing intent from her captain!
Even after being paved the way by the novel Yan Si, many people have already made speculations. It is said that Captain Unohana is the real Meteor City Killer, but Isane never believes it.
How could such a gentle captain be Killer?
Until now, after seeing Captain Unohana with her hair loose.
Only then did she finally understand the value of the description of Killer in the novel.
Now just standing next to the captain, I have the illusion of being drowned by a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Those blood, those corpses, those screams, those despair.
It's all before her eyes Manifestation.
Her body was frozen and unable to move.
Retsu Unohana turned his head to look at her, his eyes expressionless, and spoke softly.
"Just protect the medical position with all your strength."
The words just fell.
Boom! Retsu Unohana rushed into the sky. She stood in front of Grimmjow, less than five meters away. Her eyes were staring at him, full of murderous intent, and she opened her mouth slightly to speak.
It was as if blood was spurting out of her mouth.
"You seem to be unhappy with the medical unit."
Her voice was cold, she looked Grimmjow up and down and asked.
"What's your number?"
After rushing up from Retsu Unohana.
Grimmjow just arched his body, clenched his Zanpakutō tightly with his right hand, and stared at the other person, fearing that the other person would disappear from sight at the next moment.
His biological instincts were now sending out warnings.
This woman in front of me.
It's a predator!
And he is also a very powerful apex predator!
His muscles were beating and his body was trembling slightly. He grinned and bared his teeth, revealing his sharp teeth.
"You actually have such a powerful Shinigami hidden inside."
"It's really interesting."
He pulled open his clothes with his left hand and turned slightly to reveal the serial number on his lower back.
6.
He spoke arrogantly.
"I am Sixth Espada among Espada."
"Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez!"
His body was trembling slightly now, and his muscles were beating continuously.
But this isn't fear, it's that all the cells in the body are in fighting mode.
Retsu Unohana reached out and pulled out the Zanpakutō from his waist.
The blade of the sword was unsheathed, shining coldly in the moonlight. She responded coldly.
"I am Fourth Division Captain."
"Unohana Retsu."
Her voice was very plain, but it contained a creepy aura.
Especially her eyes.
No matter who sees it, they will shrink their neck subconsciously.
That instinctive feeling of terror after being stared at by an apex predator.
Grimmjow laughed.
Indeed, he could also feel the instinctive warning.
But he became even more excited.
Because he is also the apex predator!
For countless years in Hueco Mundo, he relied on eating other predators to grow to where he is now!
He was still hunched over, his left hand turned into a claw and scraped the blade and roared.
"Squeak, Pantera!"
He already understood that the other party was an apex predator.
The Resurrección form is opened directly.
I didn't intend to test it at all.
Because Grimmjow has learned it long ago through years of experience.
Facing the same predators.
You must use strong force to kill quickly from the beginning.
His body began to change and turned into a white leopard.
The eye shadow extends to the temples, the ears become leopard ears, the hair becomes long hair hanging down the waist, and the mask moves to the forehead.
The whole body is equipped with white tight-fitting armor, and a segmented tail with a black tip grows out of the back. The tips of the limbs turn black, grow quite long manes and sharp claws, and have a set of sharp fangs. He pointed directly at Retsu Unohana and opened his mouth.
"Ha!"
The huge blue Cero formed and sprayed out instantly!
This size is simply not comparable to other virtual ones.
This can only be used by Espada--
Gran Rey Cero!
Cero, whose diameter alone reached more than ten meters, arrived in front of Retsu Unohana in an instant.
She waved the knife with one hand expressionlessly, and the blade struck Cero.
The huge Cero was cut directly from the middle, divided into two halves, and passed by both sides of the body.
Boom!
The explosion hit the ground far behind her, raising a huge cloud of sand and dust.
She said coldly. "You are so naive Little Cat that you want to defeat me with such an attack."
Suddenly a strong wind blew from his side.
The speed is very fast and sudden.
She turned sideways and raised her Zanpakutō to block.
Bang! Sparks are flying.
Grimmjow's sharp claws are wrestling with the knife.
His face was very close, and he could clearly see his excited face.
Retsu Unohana looked at him.
"That's it."
"Did you use Cero as cover and then launch a sneak attack?"
"It is indeed Little Cat's favorite tactic."
She held the handle of the knife with one hand and pried it. The blade of the knife followed the famous claws of Grimmjow's five fingers.
Make a sizzling sound.
Sparks flew everywhere.
Then press your body forward.
I plan to wipe Grimmjow's neck directly with the blade!
Grimmjow's eyes widened and his facial muscles twitched.
He really didn't expect that he would lose in strength to the woman in front of him, and he would not be able to hold the knife at all.
I can only watch the blade getting closer and closer to my neck!
He gritted his teeth and simply bent his right hand together, leaning back to avoid the knife.
Then he used this force to turn his body and kicked Retsu Unohana in the back with his feet.
Grimmjow's paws also opened their sharp claws.
If he was hit, he would probably be disemboweled. Retsu Unohana let go of his Zanpakutō with his right hand, turned around and held it behind his back.
He raised his feet and curled up into a ball, then stepped on Grimmjow's calf.
A fierce kick.
With this force, the knife was drawn towards his neck!
A flash of light flashed across Grimmjow's neck.
But there was a clang sound.
"You've been fooled!"
Grimmjow laughed and spread his limbs, waving his claws towards Retsu Unohana.
"My Hierro is no ordinary product!"
Phew!
Six crisscrossing claws streaked across Retsu Unohana's chest, and blood spurted out.
The blood was very red and thick, splashing in the air. Her Haori shattered, and her Shinigami uniform shattered, revealing six crisscrossed and hideous wounds.
The wounds were deep and the flesh was twisted.
The blood kept flowing out like spring water.
It stained her clothes red.
It dyed her body red.
Retsu Unohana's breathing became slightly heavier, but his eyes became colder.
Killing intent expands.
She looked down at the blood gushing from the wounds on her chest.
She grinned.
That smile was very cold and penetrating.
She raised her head and looked at Grimmjow, and said softly.
"It's finally interesting." She stretched out her left hand, took a handful of blood from her chest, spread the blood on the blade, and pulled it away.
The blade was stained with blood and lit up with a strange light.
She spoke in a very soft voice.
But every word seems to come from Hell.
"Bankai--Minazuki!"
A sea of blood appeared in the sky instantly.
It was not a thundercloud or a dark cloud, but a real sea of blood, a scarlet, sticky, rolling sea of blood.
It just appeared suddenly and enveloped the sky.
The moonlight couldn't penetrate, only the bloody light was surging.
Unohana Retsu stands in the middle of the sea of blood.
The scar on her chest was healed in an instant, leaving no scars, and her skin was as white as ever.
She raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said coldly, "Come and fight, little leopard."
Grimmjow glanced around the circle and saw the murderous barrier that had condensed into a sea of blood.
His pupils trembled slightly, then he grinned.
"This is so decent, Captain Shinigami!"
He spread his hands again and roared.
"Claws of Pantera!"
Huge blue light marks appeared on Grimmjow's claws.
Those are two super claws composed of Reishi.
You can tell just by looking at it.
This is more than one level better than that Gran Rey Cero!
He waved his claws and moved forward, two claws of light piercing the space, making a whimpering sound.
The figure of Retsu Unohana disappeared in an instant, and appeared behind Grimmjow the next moment. Grimmjow was stunned.
"What!"
His vision became unstable and began to turn upside down. He didn't understand until he saw his body and his neck that was spurting blood.
"How is that possible!?"
He was actually beheaded in an instant.
How could this happen!
He opened his mouth to shout, but no sound came out.
Then he was unwilling to give in and made a the Roar sound with all his strength.
"Roar!!!"
Suddenly, his vision changed. When he looked down, he saw his paws again.
He was stunned and looked forward again with some confusion.
I saw Retsu Unohana still standing there, holding the Zanpakuto bent like the waning moon in one hand, and his body was very relaxed. Those eyes looked at him, with no expression, only calmness.
Grimmjow yelled angrily.
"What the hell did you just do!"
Retsu Unohana said coldly.
"Why, are you scared after only dying once?"
Grimmjow reached out and touched his neck, but there were no wounds.
But the feeling of death just now was so clear, it was definitely not an illusion.
At least it feels completely different from Kyōka Suigetsu of Aizen!
Retsu Unohana bent down slightly, let his hands hang down naturally, and spoke again.
"Don't worry, little leopard."
"Now that the fighting has begun."
"How can it be enough if you don't die a hundred and eighty times?" Grimmjow was too lazy to think about what happened just now, and rushed forward with a roar, tearing off his claws.
Retsu Unohana did not hide, but swung the knife with his backhand, and the knife flashed.
Grimmjow was cut in half, his upper body and lower body separated, and blood gushed out.
But in an instant, he returned to his original position and stood far away, gasping for air.
He glared at her and rushed forward.
The sword flashed again.
He was split in half vertically.
Half on the left, half on the right, then back up.
Charge again, get chopped again, cross-cleave into four pieces, and then recover.
Again and again.
Killed every time.
Each time it returned to its original state. Grimmjow was covered in sweat.
Shortness of breath and trembling pupils.
After being treated again and recovered.
Violent blue Reiatsu shot out from his body and rushed into the sky, roaring in shame and anger.
"Enough, woman!!!"
He was now baring his teeth and his face was twisted in a ferocious manner.
In such a short period of time, he has died several times!
If you lose the battle and die, you will die.
He had long been mentally prepared to be eaten.
But he could never bear to be teased like this.
Like prey being hunted by a cat.
"Roar!!!" As his anger reached its peak, the Reiatsu shot out of his body was violently withdrawn.
Leopard-like blue lines appeared on his chest, and the lines were like claws and lightning.
Below the six lines on the left and right, a magatama-shaped crystal hangs.
The left hand turned completely black and was wrapped in blue Reishi flames.
All the white Hierro originally on her body faded away, revealing her normal skin.
The two blue light claws also turned into two huge blue palms, and the wrists were also burning with blue flames.
This is his strongest form.
Soul Jade Pantera!
In this form, he completely gave up Hierro's defense, and his speed and attack power were greatly increased.
Just to tear the enemy into pieces!
Grimmjow's figure disappeared, and the next moment he appeared next to Retsu Unohana.
The giant blue hand moved down along with his claws, so fast that even the afterimage could not be seen clearly. Poof!
Retsu Unohana had no time to dodge, and his body was directly torn into pieces.
The blood exploded and flesh and blood flew everywhere, but it soon returned to its original state.
Grimmjow laughs.
"Hahaha!"
He rushed forward again.
One claw, another claw, another claw.
Retsu Unohana was torn to pieces, restored, torn to pieces again, and restored again.
The blood sea shrinks with every recovery.
Those scarlet lights are fading, and the viscous plasma is getting less.
Grimmjow laughed and shouted.
"Woman!" "I want to see how many times you can be resurrected!"
He could see that the surrounding blood sea was gradually getting smaller.
It won't be long before Retsu Unohana loses the ability to resurrect.
"Your ability to live quietly is of no use!"
Retsu Unohana was covered in blood, but there were no wounds on his body.
She listened to Grimmjow's ridicule with a cold face, then stretched out her hand and opened it.
The sea of blood began to surge, turning into streams and rushing towards the palm of her hand.
The scarlet blood flowed back from all directions and poured into her body.
The sea of blood shrank and disappeared, all returning to her body.
A strange light emitted from her body, and then the Zanpakutō she held in her right hand turned into blood.
Transformed into a Zanpakutō composed entirely of blood.
Her hair also changed. A few blood-red hair strands were mixed in with the black hair, fluttering in the wind.
A huge eyeball floated out from the back. The eyeball was blood red, rotating and scanning everything.
This is the evolved form of Retsu Unohana.
Grimmjow was not surprised when he saw her changes and said with a grin.
"So you Shinigami can do it too."
He rushed forward again and tore Retsu Unohana into pieces with one claw.
The blood exploded, but he was not happy at all. Instead, his eyes widened.
Because the feeling of the hand this time was obviously wrong, it was like attacking the river water with a claw.
There is no feeling of touching flesh and bones at all.
Soft and empty.
The next moment.
In the exploding blood, a scarlet knife condensed and took shape.
The magatama was directly inserted into Grimmjow's chest and penetrated his heart.
Grimmjow opened his mouth and wanted to shout, but no sound came out.
He stretched out his hand, wanting to bite it or tear it into pieces.
But his eyes became extremely heavy, those blue lights were dissipating, and the flames were extinguishing.
His body is becoming lighter and lighter.
Retsu Unohana's figure appeared behind the blood blade, looked at him and said softly.
"Go to sleep, little leopard."
The voice fell.
Grimmjow The blood in the body was drained instantly.
His body began to disintegrate, fading from the edges.
Finally, it completely transformed into Reishi and dissipated in the air. Blood Demon Retsu Unohana looked up at the sky and frowned slightly when he saw the falling Yhwach.
She also heard the words: I'm sorry, Your Majesty.
In an instant, I understood that the person who was falling was not really Yhwach.
She stood there and glanced around.
Now that the full power form has been activated, of course we have to find the strongest one to fight!
