The Same Script
Similarly, as long as Gremmy's imagination remains, Yhwach can continue to unleash his the Almighty powers and survive Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's attacks.
At the foot of that distant mountain, Yhwach was slowly shedding his charred skin. He was just a Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto. If he hadn't frantically extracted Gremmy's spiritual pressure at the crucial moment, he might not have survived.
This part of his the Almighty and omnipotence is really useless; if his true form were to fight Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, he wouldn't be in such a sorry state.
However, before the dust had even settled on Yhwach, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto appeared before him once more. Having endured a thousand years of deception, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto was not so easily convinced that Yhwach would die before his very eyes.
With palms joined together as blades, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto slashed at Yhwach, instantly shattering the mountain supporting Yhwach's body. Each palm strike was a rising Kyokujitsu Katana.
Yhwach's body, which had not yet fully recovered, was damaged once again. He desperately urged his omnipotent power to restore his body. He wanted the power of his prime. He wanted to kill Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto!
Yhwach unleashed his immense power, causing Gremmy's spiritual pressure to surge uncontrollably towards Yhwach, like a burst dam.
"Ah!!!"
The pain forced Gremmy to clutch his head and kneel on the ground. He wanted to cancel the illusion of Yhwach, but found that he could do nothing. He was just a prop in this illusion of Yhwach!
"Have you been devoured by your own creation?"
Byakuya saw through Gremmy's current situation at a glance. He didn't even have the interest to swing his sword and kill Gremmy. The key to the problem lay with that imaginary Yhwach. If he couldn't take him down, Gremmy couldn't be killed.
Because Yhwach's existence relies on Gremmy's imagination, no matter how badly Gremmy Byakuya, Yhwach will use a portion of his power to restore him.
As for Gremmy himself, he was completely used as a pump by Yhwach, who constantly extracted spiritual pressure from him. As long as Gremmy didn't die, that was fine.
Unfortunately, Byakuya couldn't go and fight alongside Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto. He had to stay behind to guard the tormented Gremmy. The Visionary Gremmy was full of tricks, and Byakuya worried that if he left, he might immediately lose Gremmy's whereabouts.
"Are you happy... Byakuya Kuchiki... Everything I have belongs to His Majesty... It's only right that I give it to His Majesty..."
Byakuya ignored Gremmy. He could tell that Gremmy was trying to distract himself from his pain by communicating with him. With a flick of his finger, dozens of Zanpakuto were positioned against Gremmy's vital points. As soon as Gremmy showed any signs of recovery, he would kill him immediately.
The rest depends on Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto; it remains to be seen whether Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto can surpass the level of power that Gremmy imagined.
Is this the best you can do?
Yhwach's expression was somewhat grim. Even after draining Gremmy, he had only gained a slight strength and could only rely on that portion of his the Almighty and omnipotence to fight Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto.
Seeing Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's attack trajectory once again, Yhwach dodged ahead of time, leaving a Great Saint Bow in his original position.
The massive Spirit Bow and Arrows rubbed violently against Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's body, but Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto managed to throw the attacking Spirit Bow and Arrows in another direction using only his physical strength.
When he finished doing all this, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto found himself surrounded by dozens of Great Saint Bow.
Yhwach launched an attack without hesitation. Even if Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's body was as hard as his Zanpakuto, he was determined to break it today!
The dazzling blue engulfed Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, but Yhwach wasn't satisfied. He grabbed two more Reishi beam swords and charged out of the Spirit Bow and Arrows ' encirclement, still ablaze Yhwach Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto already slashing at him with his swords.
It was the power of omniscience that allowed Yhwach to foresee in advance where Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto would break through the encirclement.
Yhwach and Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto quickly engaged in battle, with flames and blue light flying together, and scars rapidly overlapping and intersecting on their bodies.
"Yhwach, your sword has gone dull!" During the fight with Yhwach, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto even had time to taunt Yhwach, "Is it because you keep using your omniscient abilities that you've neglected the importance of omnipotence?"
After learning that Yhwach could use his Omnipotence to predict the direction of his attacks, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto simply stopped using any tricks in the fight and focused solely on increasing the speed and power of his attacks, using the most straightforward method to suppress Yhwach.
Yhwach, of course, was unaware of Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's thoughts. He had to constantly use his abilities to anticipate Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's attacks in order to ensure his own invincibility.
However, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's simple yet powerful attack could not be completely blocked by dodging and defense alone; the aftershocks of the collision alone were enough to injure Yhwach's body.
Seeing that Yhwach did not reply, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto became even more certain of his guess, "You can't use the omnipotent power right now!"
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's offensive intensified. He completely disregarded his own defense, allowing Yhwach to slash his body and inflict wounds. The moment the wounds appeared, he would use the intense heat to forcefully stop the bleeding.
Having abandoned his Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, Yamamoto aimed to completely defeat Yhwach, who was unable to utilize his omnipotence to enhance himself, within these few moves.
Yhwach's face was extremely gloomy. He had already foreseen the scene of his body being pierced through by Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's fists. It was all Gremmy. He had clearly granted him the power to imagine the Almighty, but he could only do so much.
Seeing Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's fists closing in, Yhwach didn't want the scene of being burned by Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto a thousand years ago to happen to him again.
With the Reishi patterns on his body shining brightly and his Blut Vene fully activated, Yhwach chose to relinquish the power of omniscience, using that spiritual pressure to enhance his omnipotence.
In that instant when omniscience transformed into omnipotence, a sharp blade pierced Yhwach's chest.
As Yhwach stared in shock at the slender blade that had suddenly appeared on his chest, his gaze flashed back to the scene from a thousand years ago.
That time, he and Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto fought fiercely amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Just as he was about to gain the upper hand, a corpse beside him suddenly moved and stabbed him.
The scene was exactly the same as now, and even the one piercing through the body was still this slender Zanpakuto, making its owner's name obvious.
"Chōjirō Sasakibe!"
Yhwach's roar echoed through the heavens and earth. It was him again, always him. Why was it always him who ambushed at crucial moments? Why couldn't his the Almighty see his presence?
After the question arose, Yhwach's anger suddenly vanished, because he realized that his omniscience seemed to be focused only on Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, and his incomplete the Almighty made him overlook other things besides Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto.
Not only that, but in that instant, he even shut down his omniscient power, preparing to confront Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto head-on. It was Sasakibe who seized that moment to launch a sneak attack on him.
It was all Gremmy's fault; his imagination was too poor. He couldn't even fathom the spectacle of Yhwach unleashing his full power. In his understanding, Yhwach's power was limited to this.
The pain in his body prevented Yhwach from completing his self-improvement, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto wouldn't let this opportunity pass. Flames flowed across his arms like lava as he unleashed a double straight punch.
"Retreat, Chōjirō!"
While shouting for the Sasakibe to leave, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto unleashed the Melting Double Bone on Yhwach.
Even more terrifying than a volcanic eruption is the combined fury of two volcanoes, with crimson pillars of fire shooting into the sky. These pillars are capable of incinerating everything except Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, including Yhwach, who is at the very center of the attack.
The Sasakibe, who appeared dozens of miles away as a bolt of lightning, was still terrified by the scene behind him. Fortunately, he had trained with Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto enough to avoid being caught in the crossfire when Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto unleashed his full power.
As Yhwach's body was incinerated, Gremmy's spiritual pressure increased instantly. Before he could even feel surprised by Yhwach's death, a white feather drifted down before his eyes—the last thing he ever saw.
Byakuya had been intently watching Gremmy, wouldn't let this opportunity slip by. If Gremmy were to conjure up Yhwach's image again, it would inevitably lead to another protracted battle.
Therefore, the moment Gremmy's spiritual pressure changed, Byakuya had already appeared in front of Gremmy.
That feather was merely a fleeting afterimage left by Byakuya's incredible speed. In an instant, eleven White Emperor Sword, including his own, were unleashed simultaneously, slicing Gremmy into pieces before he could even process what was happening.
Not only that, Byakuya also took special care of Gremmy's brain, using a dense Senbonzakura to completely shatter Gremmy's mind, utterly eliminating any possibility of Gremmy's revival.
A gust of wind swept across the battlefield, dispelling the last bit of Gremmy's mental energy. After a careful search, Byakuya, who found no Gremmy's spiritual pressure, could finally relax.
Just as Wangjing collapsed on Byakuya's body, he immediately fell to the ground, his clothes soaked with sweat. In order to fight Gremmy, Byakuya had maintained the Senbonzakura bone-forging technique.
Every movement was like being torn to pieces, and only Byakuya could endure it with a straight face. The moment the pressure was released, his body finally couldn't hold on any longer.
"Captain Kuchiki!" Sasakibe appeared beside Byakuya, and breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw that Byakuya was still able to maintain his rationality.
"Chōjirō, give Captain Kuchiki some basic post-traumatic stress relief to alleviate his pain, then immediately send him to the Fourth Division."
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto then appeared. He was not surprised by Byakuya's condition. Byakuya's battle plan with Gremmy had been unanimously approved by the several Seireitei Bleach Seireitei.
Byakuya is now numb with pain. As long as the basic circulation of the Sasakibe can stop the bleeding from Byakuya's wound, Byakuya will be fine.
"I'm going to check out other battlefields; perhaps I can be of some help."
After saying that, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto disappeared from the scene. He was still worried about the most troublesome Quincy, the Soul King's heart!
