The Strongest Fall

Elsewhere, in Soul Society, the battle between Yhwach and Genryūsai Yamamoto was still raging fiercely.

Genryūsai Yamamoto once again unleashed Soul Society's strongest Bankai—Zanka no Tachi.

The scorching heat nearly set Soul Society ablaze. The air was entirely warped and evaporated, and ordinary Spirit Bodies could barely survive within it.

Though it was not his first time facing Genryūsai Yamamoto's Bankai, Yhwach's expression remained grave.

Not only because Genryūsai Yamamoto's Bankai had defeated him once before, but because Genryūsai Yamamoto's Bankai had changed once more compared to a thousand years ago.
