Crescent Moon Blade
"Activate the highest level of alert! All Gotei 13, follow me to meet the enemy!" Kyōraku left these words and then disappeared from the spot.
Above the border between Rukongai and Seireitei, Bambietta, draped in a greyish-yellow cloak, stood with her hands on her hips, laughing heartily. Having received permission to attack, she eagerly unleashed a barrage of cannon fire upon Seireitei.
Her experience of hiding in Rukongai these past few days has been incredibly stifling for her. Although it's only been less than a week, because of the London incident, the other members of the Knights of the Sea have been keeping a close watch on her, not letting her leave even half a step outside, lest Bambietta ruin Soul Society's plans.
Bambietta was the most impatient of them all. When she looked out the window and saw the Rukongai changes in Rukongai, the urge to go out and have fun was like a cat's claws constantly scratching at her heart.
Fortunately, Bambietta was aware of her past mistakes in London and managed to control her temper.
Once the order to attack was given, she finally let loose, taking the lead and unleashing a series of Reishi bombs at Seireitei, using the violent explosions to announce her arrival.
"Did you hear that, Bleach? This is the Quincy Legion of the Wandenreich! Come out and surrender!" Bambietta's arrogant voice echoed through the air above Rukongai.
Behind Rukongai in Bambietta, one by one, people wearing cloaks began to remove them, revealing their white Quincy uniforms.
This somewhat remote street had been completely occupied by the Quincy. Apart from the World of the Living forces led by Haschwalth, all the other ordinary Quincy from the Quincy Legion were present here.
Just as a small Wuling van could squeeze out twenty people, somehow, so many Quincy were hidden inside those small houses.
This street doesn't even have a single civilian soul. Repeating the operation in London, Quincy have silently replaced the original civilians. Even those who have been interacting normally with other residents these days are Quincy in disguise.
On the street, the crowds and traffic vanished. Gremmy her blonde hair in her pockets, tilted her head back and asked, "Has she always been this crazy?"
The Quincy have been able to hide intact in this Rukongai these days largely thanks to Gremmy's imagination. Imagining the residents of a street is not difficult for him. However, the Quincy still need to impersonate the residents who interact with the outside world.
"This is what happens when you suppress your emotions for too long," Nadjakup, dressed in black with five dreadlocks sticking out, replied. His Saint Letters was U, and his ability was to be unguarded, paralyzing enemies who were hit by his attacks.
"I still think Bambi is cute!" Giselle, sporting a cockroach-whisker hairstyle, stepped out. He was the only one who continued to support the girl group members after the London incident.
Giselle, however, did not know why Liltotto and the other two did not choose to come to Soul Society, but instead went to the World of the Living.
Giselle originally wanted to go with the other three girl group members, but her mission to Soul Society was Yhwach, simply because the abilities of zombies were far too useful on the battlefield.
Behind him, members of the Sternritter emerged one after another; the Quincy army's main fighting force was all here.
Saint Letters C, Pernida, Schrift D Askin, Saint Letters M Gerard Valkyrie, Saint Letters N Robert, Saint Letters S James and Mask De Masculine, Saint Letters W Nionso Bisso, and Saint Letters V Lee and Saint Letters? Shaz Domino, made by Gremmy.
The strongest members of the Royal Guard were stationed in Soul Society to suppress the Gotei 13, allowing Yhwach to reach the Soul King Palace.
After the explosion from Bambietta, piercing alarms immediately blared throughout Soul Society, and blinding red light flashed everywhere.
"What's going on?" Askin looked around curiously. How could they, who had just infiltrated Soul Society, possibly understand what this information meant?
In Soul Society, whether they were commoners in Rukongai or nobles in Seireitei, the moment they heard the alarm, they all began to run to the most secluded corner of their homes, where there was a hidden door, which also emitted a red light.
He touched the door lock with his palm, and a trace of his soul was quietly collected. The small door opened, revealing a dark passage leading to the underground.
This is the Soul Society's evacuation plan. The renovation of Rukongai is only the surface. In reality, Urahara Kisuke and Kurotsuchi Mayuri are implementing the Soul Society's evacuation plan. The entire underground of Rukongai is filled with dense, ant-like passages, all leading to a bottomless evacuation site.
As for the renovations within the Seireitei, it was even simpler. Kyōraku, as the highest authority, issued an order that all facilities within the Seireitei must undergo renovations by the Technology Development Agency.
This is to prevent an excessive loss of Soul Society's Reishi due to a devastating battle, which would disrupt the balance of the Three Worlds.
"Honestly, it's so noisy!" Bambietta covered her ears and shook her head, her expression turning fierce. "I'll make sure you can't argue anymore!"
A nearly solidified red orb appeared in Bambietta's hand. She constructed her own Spirit Bow, drew the bowstring with the orb, and shot it directly into the Seireitei.
This larger orb is like a splitting arrow; once it enters the Seireitei, it will split into countless smaller orbs, resulting in an even larger explosion.
Whoosh! Bambietta exclaimed an onomatopoeic word as she watched the orb fly into Seireitei. Her smile widened, and she couldn't wait to see an even more violent explosion.
A bold female voice echoed from within the Seireitei, "Take my Crescent Moon Blade!"
Bambietta found that the spirit orb she had shot was flying back towards her at an even faster speed, tracing a beautiful arc in the air, and that the spirit orb was spinning directly toward her head.
Her eyes widened. All she had ever known was how to create an explosion, but she had never considered that she herself would be the one to face it.
Instinctively, Bambietta crouched down in mid-air to protect herself. The spirit orb whistled past her head, then exploded violently, splitting into countless smaller orbs that fell into the Rukongai behind her, causing a series of explosions.
What's going on?!
"Bambietta, what are you doing?"
"I was almost blown up..."
Behind Bambietta, a series of complaints came from behind. She turned around with an embarrassed expression, put her hands together, and apologized, "Sorry, sorry, it was a mistake."
Above the Quincy, a person with long golden hair, wearing a winged Visored, a red cloak, and bare-chested used a round shield to block Bambietta's attack for the Quincy behind him.
Gerard Valkyrie, at the crucial moment, used the Shield of Justice to simultaneously unleash his Blut Vene, helping other ordinary Quincy block the attack; otherwise, Bambietta's explosion would have been unbearable for most.
"It's okay, just be more careful next time." Gerard grinned, his personality frank and outgoing, and he was quite friendly to his own people.
Seeing Gerard's smile made Bambietta feel even more uneasy. Legend had it that this guy named Gerard was quite contemptuous of women, but so far he seemed alright.
Bambietta patted her chest slightly to reassure herself; she was going to teach this guy who had embarrassed her a lesson.
When Bambietta turned around, she saw a girl of average height standing on the Serenity Wall. She had short, neat black hair and wore a white combat suit similar to theirs. Her posture was bold and unconventional, unlike that of a typical girl.
Beside the girl was another girl who looked to be about the same age, with short brownish-yellow hair, but she looked more timid, shrinking behind the black-haired girl.
"Karin, is it really okay for us to come out like this? We should have waited for Uncle Kyōraku and the others..."
"What are you afraid of? They've already attacked our doorstep, why are you still cowering inside? Isn't that why we're here?"
The speaker was Ichigo sister, Yuzu and Karin. The spirit ball that flew back to Bambietta was kicked back by Karin using her soccer-kicking skills. The two of them were also the first people in Soul Society to confront the Quincy army.
Rewinding the timeline slightly, to the Kuchiki Clan in Seireitei, before Bambietta Seireitei.
"How boring! When will this end?" Karin lay in the courtyard of the Kuchiki Clan's house, staring blankly at the sky.
"There's no other way, is there? Ichigo are taking their exams, so we have to come and take their place." Yuzu sat down next to Karin, comforting her. "Besides, I see you and that guy Toshiro are getting along pretty well, aren't you?"
A flush of color rose on Karin's cheeks from her emotional outburst, and she immediately sat up to clarify, "What do you mean I'm on good terms with him? I just saw he could play soccer and had a little match with him!"
"Oh, maybe I'm overthinking it," the Yuzu said innocently.
"Yuzu, Karin, come and have some pudding, it's freshly made." A gentle voice came from inside the room. It belonged to a girl who was about the same height as Karin and the others, with an onion-shaped hairstyle.
"Hisana, you cook us different delicious dishes every day." Yuzu hurriedly went to greet her.
"Isn't this because I was afraid you'd get bored? I can only try to provide you with some fun in different ways," said Hisana Kuchiki.
It would be hard for anyone to imagine that this woman, who is about the same height as Yuzu and the others, is actually the mistress of this noble family. This is only the result of Urahara Kisuke using special technology; otherwise, Hisana would probably just be walking and talking by now.
"Thanks..."
Just as Karin was about to go forward, a sudden, violent explosion caused the entire Seireitei to shake violently, and Hisana, who was with Pudding, fell to the ground.
"Hisana- neechan!"
Just as Yuzu was about to go and help, Karin couldn't wait to look towards the outside of Seireitei. "They've finally arrived? The Quincy!"
Seeing Karin transform into a streak of light and fly away, Hisana disregarded her own safety and pushed Yuzu aside, shouting, "Go after her!"
Yuzu nodded and followed Karin. Hisana, even more eager to act, immediately summoned the Bleach of his clan to inform the 10th Division of Karin and Yuzu's mission.
Because of the evacuation alarms that sounded after the explosion, the Bleach were still helping others evacuate, and Karin and Yuzu Zi were the first to arrive near the Seireitei Wall.
Seeing the red spirit orb coming straight at her, Karin's feet, which had been itching for days, finally had a place to vent. She perfectly landed on Reishi in mid-air, tilted her body, and kicked the spirit orb back to where it came from with a Crescent Moon Blade.
