Reversed Confusion Flash Cannon

Within the triangular cone seal beside Ukitake, Pernida continued to shout. That was all he could do; sealed by Mimihagi's power of stillness, he was completely unable to move.

Ukitake ignored Pernida's commotion and immediately unfolded the Impermanence Diagram, using his spiritual pressure to sense everything around him.

"How could this be?" Ukitake frowned. The spiritual pressure he had sensed from the places where Pernida's evolved spiritual pressure was still strong, and it had not weakened at all because Pernida's actions were restricted.

Pernida heard Ukitake into laughter.

"Jūshirō Ukitake, you didn't expect this, did you? Your plan is useless. After those nerves left my body, they became independent entities containing the power of evolution. Don't even think about sealing me with Mimihagi's power. Even if you completely kill me, the power of evolution will still guide the Quincy forward..."

Pernida's voice was infuriating, Ukitake pressed his hand on the triangular cone as well. The Soul King's Right Hand power was injected once again, and Pernida's voice became softer and softer.

"Even if sealing you can't stop the other Quincy from changing, I believe my comrades will never be defeated by your so-called evolutionary power!"

The battlefield perspective first shifts to the wasteland outside Rukongai, where skeletons are scattered everywhere. Dozens of skeleton soldiers are assembled from the skeletons around the area. A long-haired man with a cockroach-like head is panting heavily among these skeletons, while in the sky opposite him, a blond man is hanging upside down, flicking his Zanpakuto with a single finger.

This is where Hirako Shinji and Giselle are.

Ukitake originally teleported Giselle to this desolate place because he didn't want Giselle to use his blood to turn any injured or dead members of the party into zombies.

In this situation, Giselle, who poses little threat, is more than Hirako.

Hirako himself had the same idea. When he was about to use Kido to kill Giselle directly in the air, Giselle actually activated his Vollständig, Death of God, and summoned several skeletons from the ground to block the attack for him.

Giselle's Saint Letters ability is that of a zombie, capable of turning people into zombies with her own blood. However, after activating her Vollständig, her enhanced Saint Letters ability allows her to control even skeletons.

In this desolate wilderness, there's no shortage of skeletons, even though they weren't particularly strong.

Even so, Giselle managed to withstand Hirako's attacks until Yhwach redistributed his power and bathed in the Auswählen Holy Rain, greatly reducing the pressure on Giselle.

"Damn old man, now I'll show you the power of war!" Giselle said fiercely, having gained power from Yhwach. Since only he Hirako were present, he didn't need to pretend to be a lady as usual.

"Don't be so arrogant." Hirako smiled as he put on his Visored, and with a light flick of his finger, Cero shot towards Giselle.

Hirako had already noticed that Giselle seemed to be under a great strain on her body after using the Vollständig. Based on their previous encounter, he believed that Giselle shouldn't have the strength to dodge his Cero.

However, to Hirako's surprise, after Yhwach's amplification, Giselle had completely shaken off the negative effects of the Death of God. She dodged Hirako's attack with the agility of a swallow, picked up a Spirit Bow the size of her forearm, and shot it at Hirako.

Giselle's archery skills were not particularly refined, and Hirako easily saw through the path of the Spirit Bow and Arrows. With Sakanade slash, he easily shattered the Spirit Bow and Arrows.

Seeing Hirako's movements, Jesel revealed a cunning smile. He had deliberately shot the arrow at a position where Hirako could easily make a move, all for the sake of his next action.

From the shattered arrows, several tiny drops of blood burst forth—a trap Giselle had laid.

His Saint Letters ability, Zombie, allows him to use blood to turn a target into a zombie he can control. Although Hirako's intact state makes it unlikely that he will become a zombie, that small amount of blood droplet is enough for Giselle to affect Hirako's ability to move.

Hirako also saw the bloodstains, and he couldn't help but curse under his breath as a lot of white liquid gushed from his body.

Using the power of the Hollowfication, Hirako created an egg-shaped protective shell in front of himself. Although the shell's defensive capabilities were far inferior to real Steel Skin, it was sufficient to block the blood droplets.

"Tch!" Seeing her plan fail, Giselle scoffed and then fired several more arrows at Hirako. "Let's see how you block that!"

Hirako couldn't withstand the Spirit Bow and Arrows containing Giselle's blood bead; he could only dodge it. This put Hirako in Giselle's kiting phase, allowing Giselle to easily suppress Hirako.

The idea was wonderful, but the middle-aged man's voice that came from beside her didn't follow Giselle's plan. "Why not just dodge over something like this?"

With a soft thud, a blade pierced through Giselle's chest, passing right through Giselle heart.

While forming a protective shell with Hollow's power, Hirako also blocked Giselle's vision. Using Hollow's Sonido, Hirako teleported behind Giselle and delivered the fatal blow.

After landing a successful blow, Hirako immediately retreated, using his spiritual pressure to shake off the blood from his sword. Knowing the intelligence, he fought very cautiously, not giving Giselle any chance to seize an opportunity.

Giselle, her heart pierced, quickly went into a dazed state, vomiting mouthfuls of blood, and collapsed weakly to the ground.

With a thud, a thin layer of dust rose from the ground, and Giselle looked as if she had been killed by Hirako with a single stroke.

Standing high in the sky, Hirako frowned as he looked at Giselle's corpse. It seemed a bit too simplistic. He raised his palm and began to chant, "Hadō 91: Senju Kōten Taihō!"

Pink cannonballs gathered around Hirako, about to hit Giselle, when Giselle suddenly rose from the dead, stood up from the ground, and quickly escaped the attack range of the Senju Kōten Taihō by using the Hirenkyaku.

"You despicable old man! You killed me, and now you want to desecrate my corpse!" Giselle pointed at Hirako and cursed.

"You're still alive, aren't you?" Hirako said with a grin, but his heart was far from calm. Tsuna's information only stated that this guy could turn into a zombie, but now he seemed almost unkillable.

"Damn it..." Giselle cursed as she pointed at the skeleton beside her. The skeleton transformed into Reishi, which she guided to her wounds, instantly healing them.

"You can heal?" Hirako's words had barely left his mouth when he immediately remembered Tsuna saying that Giselle could use the power of zombies to heal. He quickly dismissed that thought and asked another question, "You turned yourself into a zombie!"

Only this explanation can account for why Giselle is unkillable; he is an unharmable zombie, or rather, his Saint Letters ability gives him zombie-like characteristics.

"You guessed right, here's your reward!" Giselle's face revealed a sinister and terrifying smile. He didn't care at all about his abilities being exposed, or rather, he had never seen anyone capable of killing him.

As long as the power of the Saint Letters remains with him, Giselle is invincible.

Hirako's mind raced. He had to find a way to deal with this unkillable zombie. Tear it apart? Seal the different parts of its body in different places? Or perhaps use overwhelming force to blast the entire body to smithereens?

Just as he was racking his brains, Hirako heard a soft voice from the other side, "Evolve!"

The moment Pernida's nerves received the command, they activated immediately, and Giselle's body instantly changed.

This time, Pernida's nerves were not attached to Giselle's flesh, but rather to her bones. Apart from this skeleton, Giselle's body was rapidly shrinking, and all her flesh and blood were turning into Reishi and merging into the skeleton.

A skeleton with a cockroach-like head and long hair appeared in front of Hirako. Although she knew she shouldn't laugh, Hirako couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"What the hell? You call this evolution?"

Seeing Hirako laughing so hard, Giselle's anger was hard to suppress, but because his body was just a skeleton, he couldn't make any expression at all.

After receiving the information from the Pernida nerve, Giselle understood why she was evolving in this direction. There were no corpses around for Giselle to scavenge, and her blood control technique had lost its effectiveness. Therefore, the direction of evolution amplified Giselle's final ability, skeletalization, abandoning the power of zombies.

I understand, but that's no reason for Hirako to laugh at him!

Giselle herself hated becoming so ugly; it was all Hirako's fault. Wouldn't it have been better to be killed by him and become a beautiful zombie?

"Hirako Shinji!"

Giselle's rage reached its peak, and his spiritual pressure spread outwards. Under the control of this spiritual pressure, all the withered bones around him flew out of the ground and turned into star-like Reishi that gathered towards Giselle.

With the naked eye, Hirako could see Giselle's body constantly becoming fuller and stronger, and the skeleton's body was getting bigger and bigger. This so-called evolution was another form of Sklaverei for Giselle.

He gathered all the remaining Reishi from the skulls onto his body, making him an increasingly powerful Sklaverei.

They couldn't just wait like this. In terms of action, Hirako was very decisive after Aizen's betrayal, and he decided to unleash the power he had been hiding for a long time.

Hirako gripped his mask with one hand, his tone beginning to resemble that of Utsuho, "Beyond Bankai!"

The training method Beyond Bankai inherently requires the Hollow's power as a harmonizer. After mastering Beyond Bankai, Hirako never revealed his abilities. Firstly, he was used to hiding them, and secondly, he didn't want the other members of the Visored to be confused, since he was the only one in the Bankai who had completed the training of Visored.

"Reversed Confusion Flash Cannon!" Hirako, half-human and half-demon, appeared on the battlefield.
