A Momentary Transcendence

Beep beep!

The resounding flute melody was like a battle horn; Tachnee sounded the charge, and the magic within the captains began to accelerate. They were about to face a being stronger than any fairy tale, a legend from Hell — Satan!

Satan's first attack missed, and the pinkish-purple flames in his mouth gathered again, ready to strike the Reverse London captains once more. But the moment the flames began to leak from between his teeth, his body suddenly stopped.

Time, stop, time magic from Wolfgang.

Fine incantations poured from the book, transforming into a thick Chains that firmly bound Satan's jaws amidst rhythmic singing.

Next, a slightly thinner Harry Sack appeared before Satan. Amplified by the dragon markings all over his body, he delivered a powerful punch to Satan's chin.

In that instant, Little Billy's magical ray also aimed directly at Satan's body, targeting the heart, which is typically found in dragons.

Time resumed, and pinkish-purple fan-shaped flames bloomed in the sky. With Tachnee's help, Roy's Chains managed to bind Satan's gaping maw, preventing Satan's flames from shooting out directly.

It took the combined efforts of several captains to successfully stop Satan's attack, and Little Billy's magic ray against Satan undoubtedly didn't even make a ripple.

"Little Billy, what is Satan's weakness?" Roy asked, seizing the opportunity to target Little Billy as he looked at him standing on a Little Billy.

The name of the evil dragon opposite was suggested by Little Billy, who should have known Satan's weakness like other Fairy Tale Dragon.

Little Billy opened his mouth, unaware of Satan's weakness. He had only guessed the dragon's existence by combining his years of research experience with his father's fairy tales. "Truth?"

Hearing Little Billy's uncertain tone, Roy's eyes nearly popped out of his head. Who cared about those folk tales? He wanted to know the weakness of this evil dragon!

"Isn't there anything more practical?" Roy complained.

"I only recently saw the Fairy Tale Dragon. If I knew about this legendary dragon, why wouldn't I just attack its weakness directly!"

Little Billy just wasted a real chance to attack. If it were Fairy Tale Dragon of Cinderella's caliber, Harry Sack's control over it would have been enough for Little Billy to pierce through Cinderella's crown.

"This isn't the time to talk about this!" Wolfgang abruptly stopped Roy and Little Billy's conversation, tilting his head back and saying quickly, "We might have done something wrong; it's going to rain!"

The captains thought that as long as they sprayed Satan's flames into the sky, London would not be harmed. However, the flames were like liquid, naturally dispersing in the air and turning into rain of fire that fell to the ground.

Roy's Chains even indirectly helped Satan, causing Satan's flames to change from a concentrated state to a spreading fan shape. In just one moment, half of London was about to be greeted by this sudden rain of fire.

what to do?

It was impossible to stop all the flames, so Wolfgang made a decisive decision. "Protect the main streets!"

The evacuation of Londoners was not yet complete; protecting the main streets and abandoning the smaller alleyways was Wolfgang's only option, even though doing so could result in many, many deaths.

"What terrifying spiritual pressure! Bakudo 81: Bakudō #81: Dankū!"

A transparent barrier, like a canopy, covered the fiery rain as it split and spread. As he made his appearance, sighing in amazement Hirako Shinji, who was also in London, arrived at the scene immediately after informing Toshiro and the others.

Just as Hirako was about to launch into his usual cliché question about why the captains in Reverse London hadn't informed him, his expression suddenly changed.

The rain of flames struck the Bakudō #81: Dankū, the flames containing a strong corrosive power, easily piercing through Bakudō #81: Dankū. Now the Bakudō #81: Dankū was like a tattered umbrella leaking from all sides.

There was no time for greetings. Visored was placed over his face, and in the captain's perception in Reverse London, Hirako suddenly possessed magic power similar to that of a dragon.

With continuous releases of Bakudō #81: Dankū Breaks, Hirako was like a void builder, constantly creating transparent floorboards in the air. Dozens of Bakudō #81: Dankū in succession before the fire rain was finally stopped.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Hirako." Wolfgang couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He had been too arrogant and hadn't informed these grim Bleach of the East Bureau.

However, Hirako ignored Wolfgang and Cero. Little Billy understood immediately and used his finger as a gun, shooting a magical ray towards Satan.

Hirako and Little Billy noticed at the same time that the moment Satan stopped breathing fire and lowered his head, they each aimed at Satan's eyes from the left and right.

Even the most powerful creature has its weak point in its eyes. With this in mind, Hirako and Little Billy launched a simultaneous attack on Satan's eyes. However, they overlooked the fact that Satan was not an ordinary creature; he was an aggregate of high-density spiritual pressure.

The two rays stopped before Satan's eyes; a layer of purple spiritual pressure, barely perceptible to the naked eye, effectively protected Satan's vision.

Behind Satan, two magic circles, one gray and one blue, were lit up. Starlight and bubbles appeared from the magic circles at the same time, filling the surrounding space as if they were free.

The stardust exploded directly in front of Satan, sending countless stardust and bubbles into the distance, while Satan himself remained unharmed due to his steel-like body.

The sky filled with starlight and bubbles, a strong sense of déjà vu flooded Little Billy's mind. Everything connected, "Satan has gathered the power of seven Fairy Tale Dragon; this is the attack of bubbles and Cinderella!"

All the information about bubbles and Cinderella surfaced in the captains' minds. Bubbles intoxicate people with dreams, starlight brings terrifying explosions, and Satan's target this time is all of London!

Back in Reverse London, Bruno, who was skilled in large-scale magic, was still in the suburbs. As for Roy, even if he talked himself hoarse, he couldn't create a spell that would cover the entire city of London.

what to do?

Senbonzakura Kageyoshi! Daiguren Hyōrinmaru - Hyōryū Senbi!

The pink of the cherry blossom sea and the blue of the ice dragon each occupied half of the London sky. Byakuya and Toshiro had arrived. Hirako a slight sigh of relief. With these two companions who possessed wide-range attack capabilities, at least he didn't have to worry about the enemy's wide-range attacks.

"Why is it this kind of attack again?" Byakuya appeared, frowning as he felt the explosions on the cherry blossom petals. Had his previous strike failed to kill Cinderella, causing her to reappear?

"Captain Kuchiki, it's a dragon I've never seen before." Toshiro appeared beside Byakuya. "It looks very strong!"

"That thing is an aggregate of seven Fairy Tale Dragon; they call it Satan!" Hirako quickly relayed the information.

However, Satan wouldn't give them a chance to negotiate, and he unleashed a torrent of hellish Dragon Breath breath upon them.

Upon seeing the pinkish-purple flames, the captains of Reverse London were terrified and immediately shouted, "Get out of the way!"

Toshiro's expression hardened. He did not follow the orders of the captains of the West Bureau. He had his own way of fighting and wanted to figure out the opponent's abilities first.

"Sennen Hyōrō!" With Zanpakuto, massive ice pillars rose before Toshiro, Toshiro once again used them as a defensive measure to block the Dragon Breath's breath attack.

As soon as the pinkish-purple flames were installed in the Sennen Hyōrō, Toshiro realized something was wrong. His spiritual pressure was being rapidly depleted, and the thick walls of the ice prison were almost transparent with the color of Dragon Breath.

Toshiro hurriedly unleashed numerous Swarm of Birds Ice Pillars to seal the hole in the ice prison that had been scorched by the Dragon Breath, but this was only a temporary solution. After a brief stalemate, the Dragon Breath broke free of the ice prison's restraints.

A thick shield of cherry blossoms blocked Toshiro's path, shielding him from the weakening Dragon Breath.

The reason why they were unable to continue was because the others were not idle. Taking advantage of the moment when Toshiro attracted Satan's hatred, the others also launched an attack on Satan. For example, Harry Sack punched Satan in his old spot, forcibly closing its open mouth.

But that's all. The attacks from others were no match for Satan; his powerful physical body alone was enough to withstand a beating from everyone.

"They're not even in the same league." Like Toshiro, Byakuya had been observing the battle between Satan and the West Bureau captains.

The night before, Byakuya had learned that the captains of the West Bureau were not weak; they all possessed the most basic Captain-level strength of the Seireitei. However, they had encountered a more powerful Fairy Tale Dragon with mechanics and abilities.

Now, Byakuya's assessment is that they are not on the same level, which means that Satan is no longer an object that the captain can kill. Its strength is far above that of the captain. To kill it, one must use power above the captain level, that is, power above Bankai.

Toshiro immediately understood Byakuya's meaning and said, "You only get one chance."

Toshiro and Byakuya train with each other regularly, and they each know the limits of the other's strength. They have both reached the point of Beyond Bankai, but it will take some time before they can Beyond Bankai.

If one goes all out, it might be possible to achieve power beyond Bankai in a very short time.

They only have one chance; it's both their opportunity to forcefully kill Satan despite their superior strength and their chance to unleash their full power.

"Captain Hirako, cover for us!" Without discussion, Byakuya made the decision directly.

"Oh dear, I never expected our support to be used in a place like this." Hirako helplessly put on his mask and charged towards Satan, shouting, "Captain Wolfgang, stop time at the right moment!"

Hirako and the other two arrived to prevent Tsuna and the others from being without help when fighting the Quincy. All three are super-strong captains in the Seireitei, second only to Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto. The Quincy army didn't get to enjoy this power, but it will be used on Satan first.
