Poison Man
Askin's resurrection caused Unohana Retsu to faint. She had intended to definitively confirm Askin's death, but was inexplicably revived by the rain.
"Yhwach?" It was precisely because she knew that Yhwach might be able to save people with the Auswählen that Unohana Retsu wanted to kill him with one blow, but she didn't expect that Yhwach would still save her.
"How dare you pronounce His Majesty's name?"
Askin retracted his protruding tongue, narrowed his eyes, activated the power of the Saint Letters, adjusted the Deathdealing target, and used Unohana Retsu's Reishi and blood.
Just as Unohana Retsu was about to draw her sword at Askin again, she suddenly lost her footing and fell to her knees. Yuzu quickly helped her up and asked anxiously.
"Unohana, what's wrong?"
"Lethal...dose...!" The words escaped Unohana Retsu's lips. Unexpectedly, even under Yuzu's protection, Askin's the Deathdealing still caused her harm.
Upon hearing this, Yuzu hurriedly activated the power of the Saint Letters within his body, only to find that the light within him was becoming increasingly difficult to shine, and was even suppressed back to the surface of his body by the surrounding forces, so that even the light could not shine on Unohana Retsu.
How could that be?
The Yuzu was completely panicked. Having experienced little combat, she had no idea what to do and could only anxiously stare at her hands, wondering why her strength was no longer working.
As he smoothed his hair, Askin calmly said, "It's undeniable that your abilities are a great counter to mine."
"But the essence of this world is still that spiritual pressure determines everything! No matter how strong your abilities are, as long as my spiritual pressure far surpasses yours, I can already suppress you!" Askin smugly smoothed his hair. "Unfortunately, His Majesty just allocated me a considerable amount of Reishi!"
After being revived, Askin immediately amplified the spiritual pressure of the Supreme Poison Orb, making the toxins within it even more concentrated.
As a result, the Saint Letters power within Yuzu's body had to bear a greater burden in order to protect her as the original owner, which meant that Unohana Retsu was unable to enjoy the effects of the purification power.
Before she could comfort the somewhat flustered Yuzu, Unohana Retsu left him with the words "protect yourself" and rushed towards Askin.
Blood and Reishi were rapidly being replaced within her body, and she had reached her current maximum speed.
However, under Askin's power, both blood and Reishi are deadly toxins for Unohana Retsu.
However, without blood one cannot survive, and without Reishi cannot fight. Faced with this dilemma, Unohana Retsu chooses to take the initiative. She must kill Askin before her body collapses!
"You can still move? Is it the power that girl left in your body?" Askin shook his head with a smile. Even so, he could tell that Unohana Retsu was already at her last gasp.
The blood pool surged even more violently, Unohana Retsu chose to squeeze out all the power in her body at this moment, making her move before the purification power of the Yuzu disappeared.
Faced with Unohana Retsu's renewed barrage of blood-red blades, Askin calmly shook his head. He did not choose to run away to buy time, but instead his veins bulged all over his body.
After being resurrected, Askin had already connected Pernida's evolutionary power to Pernida's nerves. His battle with Unohana Retsu was too swift, leaving no room for him to gradually display his power; all his abilities had to be unleashed simultaneously.
Just as the blood-stained blade was about to pierce Askin's face, a pair of enormous wings behind Askin completely enveloped his body. Each molecular dot on the wings marked the location of the Pernida ganglion.
At this moment, Askin looked as if his entire body was shimmering with the purple, perfect Blut Vene of Vollständig.
The sea of blood engulfed Askin, Unohana Retsu once again displayed her ultimate swordsmanship, each strike landing precisely on Askin's body, intending to cleave Askin into bones once more.
After landing, Unohana Retsu knelt on one knee. The Deathdealing force had exploded within her body, and she was enduring unimaginable pain every single second.
Unohana Retsu's face was pale after landing. Her hand holding the knife trembled, not from pain, but because the knife hadn't given her any feedback when it struck her.
In other words, Unohana Retsu's thousands of slashes didn't hit anything at all!
As the sea of blood fell, a purple arm emerged and Zanpakuto directly at Unohana Retsu's back. Blood gushed from her Unohana Retsu, propelling Unohana Retsu around, and she clashed swords with her opponent.
Although it was said to be a clash of swords, Unohana Retsu's sword instantly sliced through the purple arm, while the purple arm was already coming on strong, piercing through Unohana Retsu's shoulder with a palm strike.
The Zanpakuto felt the same as before, like cutting into water. Unohana Retsu's attack didn't harm her in the slightest; instead, her opponent injured her with a single palm strike.
With a thud, Unohana Retsu lost her balance and fell to the ground, sprawling like a carpet.
"You're truly resilient. You only lost control of your body after I injected more poison into it. You have every reason to be proud."
A small purple figure stood beside Unohana Retsu. He was Askin, who had emerged from the sea of blood and blades wielded by Unohana Retsu. After undergoing evolution, he was completely different.
It could even be said that he was no longer human. At this moment, Askin's entire body was composed of toxins, making him a toxin life form with consciousness.
Therefore, no matter how Unohana Retsu cut, she couldn't cut off Askin's flesh, because Askin's body at this moment didn't have a trace of human flesh; it was all a polymer of venom.
Having dealt with Unohana Retsu, Askin turned to look at the wanderer standing in the distance, aiming a Yuzu at him.
Just now, Yuzu did try to struggle. In the instant that Unohana Retsu was about to fall, she tried to shoot Unohana Retsu with the Spirit Bow and Arrows containing the power of purification. However, the arrow was completely corroded by Askin's poison just three meters away from her body.
In other words, Yuzu can do is protect himself within this extremely poisonous sphere.
Now, if Askin wants to completely eliminate the threat to himself, his first target is not Unohana Retsu, but Yuzu Kurosaki, who can restrain him.
As Askin approached step by step, the Yuzu continued to shoot arrows at him relentlessly, but no matter how hard Yuzu tried, his attacks could never threaten Askin.
"Give up, the difference in spiritual pressure is insurmountable!" Askin spread his arms and walked towards Yuzu. "Although your ability counters mine, as long as it's a pure Spirit Bow and Arrows, your ability is meaningless, isn't it?"
Askin conjured a Spirit Bow from his body, and the folding bow from before became part of his body. A pure blue arrow was nocked on the Spirit Bow, and he shot it toward the Yuzu.
Yuzu quickly used his Blut Vene for defense, while continuously firing arrows at Askin 'Askin attacks in an attempt to stop them. Unfortunately, the difference in skill was absolute; Yuzu had only been Quincy for a short time and was no match for Askin, whom Yhwach had specifically looked after.
Askin's arrow pierced through the Yuzu twice in succession, heading straight for Yuzu face. In that instant, sticky liquid suddenly surged up from beneath the Yuzu's feet, and the stench of blood filled the entire space.
The crimson fountain, escorted by this crimson fountain, allowed the Yuzu to pass through the underground compartment of the Fourth Division and successfully leave this space.
Suddenly seeing the light of day again, the prodigal Yuzu immediately understood that this was Unohana Retsu's good intention. She could not waste Unohana Retsu's efforts, so she used her Hirenkyaku to quickly sprint through the Seireitei, she had to go and get reinforcements.
Witnessing the departure of the Yuzu, Askin did not chase after him. If it were before, he would have been wary of the Yuzu's abilities, but after Yhwach and Pernida's nerves were strengthened, the Yuzu was at most just someone who could move freely in his poison, and was no longer a threat.
Compared to the Yuzu, the person lying on the ground surprised Askin even more.
"I didn't expect that even though you can't move, you still have the ability to rescue people. Aren't you worried about your own safety, Unohana Retsu?" Askin turned around and asked Unohana Retsu was lying on the ground.
Unohana Retsu had no intention of answering Askin's question. Sending Yuzu away had already exhausted all her strength. With her body on the verge of death, all her mental energy was focused on her own spiritual world, communicating with her Zanpakuto, Meninas.
There was no answer. A look of boredom appeared on Askin's face. He had thought that Unohana Retsu could still put up a fight. If that was the case, then he would kill Unohana Retsu and go out to carry out the unfinished plan from the invasion.
Using his poison to control the entire Seireitei, the enhanced Askin no longer needs to bury poison orbs in the four corners of Seireitei as before; the supreme poison orbs he can now release can cover the entire Seireitei!
It was the same ordinary Spirit Bow and Arrows he'd used against the Yuzu before. Askin didn't even aim; he fired it at Unohana Retsu without saying a word. "Die!"
Askin, who possesses the Deathdealing, could naturally see Unohana Retsu's current state. This state of bouncing back and forth on the brink of death meant that with just a little external force, Unohana Retsu's death line would collapse instantly, and the battle would be over.
Askin turned around on his own, did not notice that while he was speaking, the flowing blood at his feet had disappeared, and there was no trace of blood in the entire Fourth Division's underground area. On the contrary, there was a faint fragrance of medicine.
Just as Askin's Spirit Bow and Arrows was about to strike Unohana Retsu, a giant green one-eyed manta ray suddenly appeared and swallowed Unohana Retsu whole. That was Unohana Retsu's Zanpakuto, Meninas!
The Spirit Bow and Arrows pierced through Meninas's body, and the green echo light immediately shone brightly. The slight damage had no effect on Meninas's movements.
The Deathdealing that Askin was entirely aimed at Unohana Retsu. Unohana Retsu's Zanpakuto is a biological type Zanpakuto, which inherently possesses the ability to move. Before Askin could react, it swallowed its master whole, using Soul Society's strongest technique, the Reidou, to counter the declaration of death.
Askin suddenly turned around, unleashing a flurry of Poison Balls and Spirit Bow and Arrows, aiming straight for Meninas. In the midst of his intense movements, he completely failed to notice the faint female voice coming from Meninas's abdomen.
"Beyond Bankai..."
