Compression
As Yhwach redistributed power using the Auswählen, the Quincy in Soul Society, who had been suppressed due to intelligence issues, began to rise again, their gazes first fixed on Bambietta's battlefield.
Bambietta was in a very sorry state when she wasn't bathed in the Auswählen Rain. Every Reishi particle she fired was caught by the Quincy girl opposite her with her gloves and then kicked back.
Wearing goalkeeper gloves and sneakers, Karin Kurosaki became the central figure in their battle; the gloves and sneakers were her Vollständig, the most suitable power for her.
The gloves were made up of patterns similar to those on the Blut Vene, emphasizing defense, while the sneakers had patterns similar to those on the Blut Vene, focusing on offense. Wearing these two pieces of equipment, Karin treated this battle like a ball game.
Bambietta was quite perceptive; she could tell that Karin's combat experience wasn't very rich. Whenever Bambietta tried to use her combat experience to launch an adult-level sneak attack on Karin, the white-haired brat standing guard would come out to get in the way.
After seeing that Karin was able to catch Bambietta's attack perfectly, he also paused his plan to intervene.
Putting everything else aside, based on Toshiro's understanding of Karin, if he were to inexplicably interfere in her battle, it would definitely provoke Karin's resentment.
Toshiro wasn't afraid, but he didn't know how to explain it to Isshin -senpai. After all, Karin was his junior in a way, or at least that's what Toshiro thought.
As for Bambietta's little tricks, Toshiro wouldn't turn a blind eye. Those bombs buried in the surrounding buildings would always be frozen by frost the moment they reached their positions.
Unable to fight back, and with no hope of escape, Toshiro's complete Sennen Hyōrō sealed Bambietta and the two of them together within the stadium.
Toshiro's spiritual pressure continuously supplies energy to the Sennen Hyōrō. If Bambietta wants to get out, she must first defeat Toshiro. And if she wants Toshiro to make a move, she must first get past Karin, the first line of defense.
Everything has come full circle. If Bambietta could have defeated Karin's Vollständig so easily, she wouldn't be in such a disheveled state with her uniform torn in so many places.
At this point, Bambietta even extended her anger to Ukitake. Where did she find such a Vollständig that could counter her? If she had just been allowed to fight Toshiro alone, Bambietta didn't think the battle would have turned out this way.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long. Blue raindrops fell from the sky, and Bambietta, bathed in the heavenly rain, smiled again.
Under the influence of the rain, Bambietta's Vollständig also underwent some changes. Many curved lines appeared on her feathers, and the explosives Bambietta released were no longer straight, but could now be controlled by her own flight path.
With a whoosh, more than twenty more explosive bombs flew towards Karin. When Bambietta saw Karin make a catching motion, her smile became even brighter.
Just as the bombs were about to reach Karin, they accelerated, turned, and plummeted. These changes were all displayed on the twenty spheres that were launched. Each bomb had a different flight path, and they all bypassed Karin 'Karin catching position and flew towards her.
"Boom!"
The sound of Bambietta's voice rang out simultaneously with the explosion; presumably, the one who shouted was no longer capable of fighting.
As Bambietta was thinking this, the smile on her face stiffened again, because she heard Toshiro's voice.
"Bankai, Daiguren Hyōrinmaru!"
Amidst the smoke of the explosion, enormous frost wings were revealed. Toshiro used his ice dragon wings to shield Karin beneath him, but Karin's expression didn't seem particularly happy.
Karin pouted and lightly kicked Toshiro's shin, stubbornly saying, "I can handle it just fine without you."
Toshiro smiled and didn't argue with Karin. He had seen the hint of panic on Karin's face the moment she changed her move in Bambietta.
Feeling a little uncomfortable under Toshiro's gaze, Karin tidied her slightly disheveled hair and shouted at Bambietta in the sky, "Again! You absolutely can't score this time!"
Looking at the two people below, Bambietta felt inexplicably heartbroken. She didn't want to blow them up; she wanted to burn them alive.
Thinking of the changes brought about by her new Vollständig, Bambietta smiled again. After further improvement, she could completely control the explosive projectiles she fired, and it wouldn't be impossible for her to directly transform the projectiles into flames.
With that thought in mind, Bambietta launched another attack. A barrage of explosives flew from her wings like a barrage of bullets, heading down towards Karin and Toshiro below.
Just as the bomb reached mid-air, Bambietta detonated it prematurely, converting all of its energy into flames. In an instant, a fierce sea of fire split the Sennen Hyōrō into two parts.
Bambietta, located in the safe zone, watched the flames with a smile. She wanted to see how Shari would kick this invisible object back to her.
Bambietta was even more greedy; she wanted to use this tactic to force Toshiro into the battle, so that she could seize the opportunity to kill him and break free of the Toshiro cage.
Seeing the flames filling the sky, Toshiro was about to make his move; for him, flames of this magnitude were nothing to fear.
Over the past year, Toshiro has sought advice from Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto quite often. Their abilities are mutually restraining, and both have gained different levels of insight during their sparring sessions.
So for Toshiro, firestorms are just the norm. Karin has already done a great job, and Toshiro doesn't expect her to do any more.
"Wait!" Just as Toshiro was about to swing his sword, Karin stopped Toshiro, raising her hands above her head. "Leave it to me!"
Karin's gloves began to swell, growing to almost two meters in size. While this was quite large for Karin herself, it was insignificant compared to the sea of fire.
Toshiro was about to tell Karin not to push herself, but then he saw that Karin's gloves were emitting a strange spiritual pressure. Karin was stirring her hands above her head, and it seemed as if all the flames above her head were converging on her.
From Bambietta's perspective, a vortex appeared in the sea of fire below, and all the spiritual pressure flames generated by her explosion converged towards the vortex.
From Toshiro's perspective, he saw Karin kneading a giant dough ball. Between her two large gloves, a fire sphere more than two meters in diameter was taking shape, with all the flames being pressed into the sphere by Karin.
Compression, Karin's Saint Letters ability, her full-body Vollständig armor, the sneakers are just an extra, the real main thing is her gloves.
Using the power of Saint Letters, Karin can compress all the spiritual pressure she experiences into the shape of a sphere. The size of the sphere varies depending on the magnitude of the spiritual pressure and her control over it.
Normally, Karin's fighting style involves compressing the opponent's attack into the size of a soccer ball, and then using her soccer shoe to retaliate.
However, the Bambietta they encountered this time attacked with spheres, so Karin's Saint Letters ability has only been revealed now.
However, the spiritual pressure released by Bambietta this time was clearly beyond Karin's ability to withstand; there was no way Karin alone could kick back that two-meter-sized fireball.
Karin glanced at Toshiro, Toshiro immediately understood, "Leave it to me!"
As the sea of fire gradually subsided, Bambietta immediately became alert. The next moment, an ice dragon leaped out from the last remaining flame and charged towards Bambietta.
As expected, Bambietta smiled knowingly. Just as she had thought, the flames from the explosion forced Toshiro to take action. But it didn't matter; she had anticipated this situation.
Bambietta kneaded a bomb into the shape of an arrow and, after a long absence, took out her Spirit Bow and a crossbow.
Since Bambietta's attacks are ranged, Spirit Bow and Arrows is mostly ineffective; if one bomb isn't enough, just use more.
This time was different. Having mastered the control of explosive projectiles, Bambietta could combine the Spirit Bow and Arrows's power with the explosive Saint Letters, making this arrow more powerful than ever before—a mere Bankai ice dragon...
Bambietta fired an arrow, and the crimson arrow struck the ice dragon's head with a deafening explosion that shook the heavens and earth. Amid the explosion, Bambietta also heard the sound of ice shattering.
The Spirit Bow and Arrows, combined with its explosive power, was indeed quite formidable, easily deflecting even the captain's Bankai attack. Bambietta couldn't wait to blast Toshiro's cage apart with a barrage of explosive arrows.
As Bambietta was laughing, she suddenly felt a Scorching brush against her face, and the fiery red light in her vision grew brighter and brighter. She actually saw a huge fireball rushing towards her!
"The Ice Dragon is just a decoy; I'm not the real main attacker," Toshiro said with a grin, looking in Bambietta's direction. "Let's call this move 'Ice Dragon Spits Pearls.'"
"Hey, hey, hey, with this name you gave me, I feel like I have no presence at all," Karin expressed her dissatisfaction.
That fiery sphere was created by Karin using compressed Saint Letters power. Toshiro manipulated the ice dragon to hold it in its Dragon Mouth, using the ice dragon as a lure, and only released the real attack when it was in front of Bambietta.
Faced with this sudden fireball attack, Bambietta had no chance of escaping. She could only instinctively aim her crossbow at the large fireball and fire an arrow.
With a sudden roar, a sea of fire engulfed the upper half of the Sennen Hyōrō. The move that Bambietta used to attack Karin ended up being used against her, and she was completely swallowed by the sea of fire.
