Anti-God Special Attack

As Gerard's past is rewritten, the colossal Light Giant is rapidly shrinking, and the light emanating from its body is quickly collapsing as it transforms into Reishi.

Gerard had no idea what was happening to him or why his power was disappearing.

As his body shrank, Gerard looked down and saw Shukuro Tsukishima, who had just left his chest. Gerard's instincts told him that this man was behind it, but his reason told him that it could not possibly be Tsukishima's fault.

How could Shukuro Tsukishima, Gerard Valkyrie's lifelong best friend, be wrong!

While rewriting past events, Tsukishima also inserts her own existence into Gerard's past.

In Gerard's mind, since his birth, this man named Shukuro Tsukishima has always been by his side, his best friend with whom he could confide everything. In some ways, Tsukishima is even more important to Gerard than Yhwach.

This is the terror of the Book of the End: it silently alters the target's consciousness, rendering the enemy utterly devoid of hostility.

Gerard's power collapsed, and in the blink of an eye, he returned to the size of an ordinary person. All the power he had accumulated since the start of the battle had been wasted.

Looking at his weakened self and the powerful enemies before him, Gerard felt little fear. To him, he could accumulate power in the same way he had before. As long as Kyōraku and the others couldn't break the power of the Miracle, he was invincible!

"Tsukishima- san, could you please return my equipment to me?" Gerard asked Tsukishima politely.

"I'm sorry, I'll definitely pay you back after this battle is over."

In Gerard's past, Tsukishima witnessed Gerard gaining the Miracle power through self-harm. He would never return the sword and shield to Gerard unless Gerard died...

Gerard wasn't angry; in his heart, Tsukishima was his best friend. He turned to the men surrounding him and said, "Do you think you can defeat me like this? I'll try and make a move here!"

Gerard patted his left chest, where his heart was; as long as his heart didn't break, the power of the Miracle would continue.

Jinta's vision went black as he recalled the scene of him gently stabbing Gerard in the heart. Without that stab, Gerard would not have become the Light Giant.

"Don't be arrogant, we have people who can handle you!" Jinta shouted, clenching his fist.

"Really? Where are they? Come out and let me see them!" Gerard still didn't believe it; he didn't sense any threat from the people in front of him.

"The person has arrived, thanks to Jinta," Kyōraku said. He had sent Jinta to pick up the person, Jinta's return meant that the person had arrived. "Come out, Nanao!"

A shadow appeared at Kyōraku's feet, and Nanao slowly emerged. Unlike her usual Shinigami Uniform, she was wearing a kendo uniform. It was she who Jinta had picked up halfway.

After Jinta picked up Nanao halfway, he carried her back to the battlefield quickly using four advanced footwork techniques. When Kyōraku noticed this, he immediately hid Nanao in the shadows to protect Nanao until Gerard returned to normal human size before letting Nanao appear.

"Her? Someone even weaker than all of you!"

Gerard laughed. These people were getting more and more unreliable. They had sent a woman with a spiritual pressure far lower than his to be his opponent. Even without using the power of the Saint Letters, Gerard could easily kill this woman who annoyed him.

However, Gerard did not notice that Nanao had a rectangular scabbard at her waist. Nanao walked towards Gerard Nanao by step, introducing herself as she went.

"Ise Nanao, the Vice-Captain the First Division of the Gotei 13, please guide me." Nanao gripped the hilt of the sword at her waist, and the black scabbard dissipated, revealing a rectangular Zanpakuto with four prisms embedded in the center, which she pointed at Gerard.

"I'm not interested in your name!"

Gerard's feet exploded with Reishi. He realized that those surrounding him wanted him to fight this woman, so he decided to kill this woman who had appeared out of nowhere first!

As he sprinted forward, Gerard's muscles were already tense. He was prepared to kill Nanao with a single punch. He didn't use the Spirit Bow and Arrows because he saw the weapon in Gerard 'Nanao hand. Even if he missed his first strike, he could still use that seemingly unsharp Zanpakuto to unleash its the Miracle power.

Faced with Gerard's attack, Nanao very properly retracted one leg and dodged to the side, while simultaneously slashing her knife at Gerard's outstretched arm.

Just as the blunt knife was about to touch his body, Gerard suddenly felt a chill run through him. It was a feeling he had never experienced before, yet it felt strangely familiar. His body was trying to warn him, but Gerard had no idea what that warning meant.

With a whoosh, blood splattered as Gerard's right arm, the arm through which he threw his punch, was completely severed by Nanao. Having completed this action, Nanao stepped forward, Zanpakuto high and slashing at Gerard.

The injured Gerard didn't have time to think. He rolled away to avoid Nanao's attack and then tried to use the Miracle's power to gain even greater strength.

The Miracle?

Gerard cried out in his heart once more, but the Saint Letters gave him no response whatsoever. His injuries were even more irreparable, and his arm was lost in vain.

While Gerard was stunned, Nanao wasn't about to let the opportunity slip by. She advanced with perfect discipline and launched a preemptive attack, thrusting her Zanpakuto at Gerard.

Gerard's body immediately began to glow with Reishi energy, but even the Blut Vene couldn't truly protect him. After a sharp sound, a bloody hole appeared in his right chest.

"I stabbed the wrong person, what a pity." Nanao quickly rallied her spirits and continued her attack on Gerard.

This time, Gerard wasn't stubborn anymore. He quickly used his Hirenkyaku to create distance, and in the next moment, four tall earthen walls rose up around the battlefield, completely sealing Gerard and his enemies inside.

Tsukishima calmly sheathed his sword. Just moments ago, he had once again intervened in the past of this battlefield, piling up four walls here.

Blocked from retreat by the wall, Gerard turned around and saw Nanao chasing after him once again. He kept dodging Nanao's attacks, and the prism light flashing on that Zanpakuto made his heart tremble.

"Impossible! Why did the power of the Miracle fail!" Gerard could no longer contain himself. No matter how he called upon the power of his Saint Letters Saint Letters, it did not respond to him, as if it had sunk into the sea.

"Your power comes from the heart of the Soul King, can't you feel it?" A cold glint flashed across Nanao's glasses. "Its fear!"

In that instant, Gerard was stunned. He finally realized that the chill in his heart was the fear in his heart. What was he afraid of? People? No, it was that knife!

"What kind of Zanpakuto is this?!" Gerard roared in frustration, because of that moment of distraction, another knife wound appeared in his chest. All of Nanao's slashes were aimed at his heart inside his chest.

While attacking, Nanao replied, "This is a sacred weapon that my Ise Clan has worshipped for generations, the Divine Sword, the Eight Mirror Sword, which was once the ritual weapon of Lord Disintegration Soul King."

"Decomposition" is just a euphemism; in reality, it's just dismembering the Soul King.

Gerard now understood the source of his inner fear: his heart, which had withstood the attack of Jinta, the Soul King's substitute, was more fragile than a piece of paper in front of the Eight Mirror Sword.

Is death the only option left? Gerard is desperately searching for an opportunity. What he cannot touch is the Eight Mirror Sword in Nanao's hand, as Nanao's spiritual pressure is not particularly strong.

Given the opportunity, Gerard discovered that Nanao's strength wasn't particularly high. If he could bypass the sword and kill Nanao, he would have a chance to continue playing the game.

With one hand gathering Reishi, Gerard extended his Spirit Bow, preparing to revert to his old Quincy skills and use the Spirit Bow and Arrows to kill Nanao.

Seeing this, Yammy wanted to help Nanao defend against Gerard's attack. Gerard's strength had been greatly reduced, and he was confident that he could completely block Gerard's attack.

Not only Yammy, Jinta and Ginjo are preparing to take action. They don't have to launch an attack, but serving as meat shields is not a problem.

Just as they were about to set off, Kyōraku called out to them, "Trust Nanao. Nanao has poured countless hours of sweat into kendo for today."

"But..."

"Did you notice? Every move Nanao makes is perfectly disciplined. All her attacks are defensive sword techniques designed to protect herself. She understands better than her enemies that she can only rely on that Eight Mirror Sword!"

Kyōraku's expression was very serious. Only he knew how much effort he and Nanao had put into developing their defensive swordsmanship after Tsuna asked him to teach Nanao. Gerard thought he could take down Nanao so easily? Absolutely not!

The Spirit Bow and Arrows was fired, and just as it was about to strike Nanao, Nanao immediately flipped the blade, using the Eight Mirror Sword as a shield to block it in front of her.

The prisms on the Eight Mirror Sword shimmered with light, and Gerard's Spirit Bow and Arrows was completely swallowed by the Eight Mirror Sword, transforming into dazzling light that shot towards him.

In an instant, Gerard's left arm and left leg were completely engulfed by the light. Having lost three of his limbs, Gerard was nothing more than fish on Nanao's chopping board.

In an Flash Step in front of Gerard, the blade of the Nanao Eight Mirror Sword flying up and down, rapidly slicing through Gerard's body.

This is the only swordsmanship that Nanao learned from Unohana Retsu: Anatomy.

A fresh heart was swiftly ripped out by Nanao. The moment the Eight Mirror Sword carried the Soul King's heart away from Gerard's body, Gerard's eyes completely lost their light, his primordial power was removed, his life force was completely severed, and his body completely dissipated into Reishi.

Nanao hadn't stopped what she was doing after she finished all this. She threw the Soul King's heart onto the ground with her backhand, and the Eight Mirror Sword pierced through the heart fiercely.

The fact that the Soul King's severed left hand remained Activation indicates that the Eight Mirror Sword could only cut through the Soul King's body, not truly kill him.

What Nanao is doing now is using the Eight Mirror Sword to restrict the possibility of the Soul King's heart moving, and then using the Kido to seal it until the battle is completely over.
