Shoddy Version H
Feeling a different sensation beneath her, Giselle looked down, then placed her other hand on her chest in disbelief.
Slight undulations, no longer the flat expanse of the past; fingers traced down the neck, and the once barely perceptible protrusion had disappeared.
Could it be? Giselle raised her hands, her eyes widening, and she noticed many differences. Her fingers were more delicate and smooth; the skin she used to have to fake seemed to be a reality.
She's a woman now? Giselle's mouth gaped slightly; she couldn't accept this fact for a moment, until...
"I'm telling you, even if you're an enemy, don't think you can influence me like this. Hurry up and make your move!"
Hirako looked up and saw Giselle covering her eyes with her hand, but the way Hirako was trying to hide it made it clear that she knew exactly what was going on.
"Oh? I didn't expect an older man to be so lewd?" Giselle covered her private parts and said with a slightly amused smile.
"What a joke! How was I supposed to know you spent all your time thinking about becoming a woman! You sacrificed all your power to get something like this!"
Hirako seemed somewhat vulnerable. He was indeed a lazy, middle-aged man in Seireitei, but that didn't mean he wanted to see his reputation completely distorted.
"Oh! So you know, sir, that I'm no threat at all?"
Suddenly seized by a sudden interest, Giselle walked with alluring steps toward Hirako, her strides small, Hirako closer until she was right in front of Hirako blade.
Giselle gently Hirako aside the knife tip that Hirako was pointing at her face, a smile on her face. "Since I'm no longer a threat, why not just kill me? Why would I need to lift a finger?"
"Damn it! You really think I don't want to kill you?!"
Hirako Zanpakuto, aiming directly at Giselle's neck. The sight of blood splattering from the blade made Giselle instinctively close her eyes.
To die after fulfilling one's wish? That doesn't seem so bad...
The overwhelming spiritual pressure tousled Giselle's hair, Hirako's Zanpakuto was only a hair's breadth away from Giselle's neck; if he wanted, Giselle could die instantly.
A sigh woke Giselle from her closed eyes. When she opened them again, Giselle had just seen the back of the man who had returned to his short bob when a black undershirt was draped over her head.
"Put your clothes on and wait to be judged at the Sokyoku Hill."
At the last moment, Hirako stopped. Giselle had lost her ability to use the Saint Letters, and she was not skilled in other basic Quincy combat techniques. There was no need to continue the battle.
Hirako's next move was to notify the other Bleach to detain Giselle.
Considering that Giselle is now a woman, Hirako still took off his inner garment and gave it to her. He was still mindful of propriety; the outer garment was the Captain's Haori, which he couldn't give her.
Holding the clothes Hirako had given her, feeling their lingering warmth, and watching his retreating figure, a strange feeling welled up in Giselle's heart.
This guy doesn't seem so bad after all...
Perhaps because Hirako was the first man Giselle had met after her transformation, Giselle's impression of Hirako wasn't too bad. She casually threw on her clothes and hurried after him.
"Uncle, I'm about to be locked up by you guys. Before that, how about we have a short-lived romance?" Giselle rushed up and grabbed Hirako's arm with both hands.
Looking at the somewhat disheveled woman beside him, and feeling the soft touch on his arm, Hirako blushed for no apparent reason.
But the next moment, Hirako immediately regained his senses, broke free from Giselle's grasp, and shouted, "What are you doing! Get away from me, you know we're enemies!"
"Hehe." Giselle gave Hirako a playful and cute look. "But I just became a girl and now I'm going to be locked up by you guys. Before that, I want to have a sweet romance, okay~"
Giselle's actions and expression Hirako a chill down Seireitei, shouting, "No way! Absolutely impossible!"
"Wait for me, uncle, please grant me this one small wish..." Giselle stepped on Hirenkyaku and chased after Hirako's retreating figure.
The battle between Hirako and Giselle came to an end as Giselle was officially reversed by Hirako into Giselle, and attention temporarily returned to the Seireitei.
While wandering through the streets of Seireitei Bazz-B encountered a person dressed in Quincy attire. When the person identified himself as the Saint Letters H, Bazz-B immediately engaged him in battle.
Anyway, Bazz-B didn't know many people in the Quincy Corps, so to get revenge on Yhwach, he naturally had to start by eliminating his followers.
A wave of heat from the flames ripped open the other person's cloak, revealing their appearance: dark skin, light yellow curly hair, and ice crystals on their face. Their expression was stiff and unchanging, as if they were completely frozen.
"So you're the Yhwach found to replace me? You know me, right? State your name!" Bazz-B said arrogantly to the Quincy.
In fact, since entering the Soul Society, Bazz-B had not shown himself in this manner for a long time. He mostly presented a humble and friendly image until he encountered someone he looked down upon, at which point his true nature resurfaced.
"Haier... kill... Bazz-B..." The other person's speech was already so stiff, but his purpose had been made clear.
Hale wasn't transported here by Ukitake; he was originally treated as an ordinary Ukitake and handed over to the Bleach Quincy with them.
Unexpectedly, Hail proved to be exceptionally strong, wounding a Bleach with a single shot before breaking through the encirclement and charging into Seireitei.
Hale's primary purpose in coming to Soul Society, as he stated, was to find Bazz-B and then kill him.
When Yhwach recreated the Saint Letters H to fill the void left by Bazz-B's absence, he learned that Bazz-B was not dead, nor had his power returned to him.
This results in the H created by Yhwach being flawed; Hel's power is incomplete, and he can only obtain the complete power after killing Bazz-B.
Because Hel was forcibly modified, if it were replaced by Bazz-B, a more talented member of the Knights, the question of whether H's power was complete would not exist.
Ultimately, it comes down to Hale's lack of talent, as evidenced by the fact that he wasn't selected as a member of the Knights before.
Upon hearing Hale's words, Bazz-B laughed. He didn't believe that such a thing could kill him. A Scorching light flashed across Hale's body, and a fiery hole appeared in Hale's chest.
"Burning Finger 1," a single, instantaneous fireball ended the battle. Bazz-B walked past Hale, saying, "Sorry, I'm in a hurry."
However, the moment Bazz-B stepped out of Haier's sight, a chilling aura assaulted his face, forcing Bazz-B retreat.
Flames burned on Bazz-B's palms, the hands he used to deflect attacks, yet the temperature of the flames was far lower than his usual temperature.
Looking at Hale's body again, with his shirt off, his upper body was clearly encased in ice, and the hole that Bazz-B had pierced through his heart was gradually healing.
"Did you turn yourself into an ice cube? That's quite a feat!" Bazz-B commented.
Hale's body is clearly no longer that of a normal person; his upper body is entirely made of ice with defined muscles. From the beginning, Hale has been an ice man, which is why he was immune to Bazz-B's Burning Finger.
The ice crystals on Haier's face were clearly from his own body being frozen.
The pure ice body was still shimmering with Blut patterns. Clearly, Hale knew from the beginning that he might not be a match for Bazz-B. He only made his move against Bazz-B after activating his Vollständig.
As a Quincy, Bazz-B was very familiar with Quincy. Hel's Vollständig looked somewhat similar to the style of the World of the Living, but Bazz-B knew it was completely different.
"Can something without even wings really be called Vollständig?" Bazz-B mocked without any politeness. Inferior is inferior; even Vollständig cannot be fully restored.
Two wings resembling burning sticks unfurled behind Bazz-B, amplifying his fiery power. Bazz-B arrogantly challenged Hale, "Let me show you what a true Vollständig is! Burning Finger 2!"
Two flames shot from Bazz-B's fingers, converged in front of Hale, and collided instantly, causing a powerful explosion.
Watching the slowly rising charred cloud, Bazz-B nodded with satisfaction. Compared to when he was captured from the Wandenreich, his strength had far surpassed that of him back then.
It wasn't for nothing that he had been dawdling around with Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto for over a year; after all that time, Bazz-B finally gained some understanding of Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's power of fire.
"Hey, stop pretending! If you want to kill me, show me your power!" Bazz-B shouted into the smoke and dust. The heat of the flames told him that his opponent was not yet dead.
The spiritual pressure rippled slightly, and the smoke from the flames dissipated, revealing a massive, cracked block of ice. Hale placed himself inside the ice to evade Bazz-B's attack.
"Tch! Ice? Yhwach, if you want to copy me, why don't you just use fire?" Bazz-B said somewhat unhappily, seeing a power completely different from his own.
The Quincy Hel, a substitute for the Sternritter H, the Saint Letters H, Hail-Hail, and the completely opposite power of Bazz-B.
The instant the ice shattered, Hale instantly conjured a longbow, nocked an arrow of hail, and shot it toward Bazz-B.
