In just a few months, Kuruyashiki has completely stabilized Eleventh Division, who was originally in a state of uncertainty.
The vacant Seated Officer places were filled one by one, the complicated team affairs were handled smoothly, and the atmosphere in the team building became more relaxed and lively day by day.
As for the daily documents that Central 46 had previously ordered to be copied to First Division for filing, from the beginning Inquisitor used a magnifying glass to find faults, and later faced Jingjing You Tiao There was nothing to say about 's dossier, and in the end, it simply turned into a mere formality. The clerks of First Division and Central 46 didn't even look at it, they stamped their review stamps and turned back the way they came.
But in the iron-clad procedure for the promotion of Captain Soul Reaper, the most critical link is still missing.
That is the verification of Bankai.
In Underground Council Chamber, Rotating Speaker pushed forward an evaluation document about Eleventh Division, and the old voice echoed in the stone hall:
"Although he relied on the ancient rules of Blood Trial to achieve his position, the person who can suppress and crush Shibata Takanobu Bankai in the trial must have cultivated his own Bankai. Otherwise, Shikai alone cannot explain his ability to crush Captain-Class. Soul Reaper's huge Reiatsu."
The Sages present nodded their heads one after another. After a brief discussion on this topic, Central 46 officially issued a summons and called Kuruyashiki to the meeting hall.
Facing dozens of superior Sage, Kuruyashiki stood in the center of the hall with his Captain's Haori open. After listening to their inquiries, he didn't even hesitate for half a second and nodded happily:
"Yes"
Hearing this affirmative answer, Rotating Speaker stroked his beard with satisfaction and said seriously, "In that case, according to the rules of Gotei 13, you need to conduct a formal Bankai demonstration under the joint witness of First Division and Central 46 for the purpose of recording. As for the location of the demonstration..."
"Wait!"
Before Rotating Speaker finished speaking, Kuruyashiki suddenly raised a big hand like a cattail leaf fan and interrupted him angrily.
"Huh?" The Sages behind the case all frowned and looked at him with confusion and displeasure.
Kuruyashiki scratched the back of his head, with a somewhat honest and serious expression on his face, and asked tentatively, "The demonstration is fine... but is there a venue in the place you are talking about that will never cause any loss of property no matter how hard it is? If the land of the house is damaged and I have to pay for it, I can't afford it."
Sages suddenly looked at each other.
After hundreds of years of reviewing the appointment and removal of captains, this was the first time they heard such a strange request.
The discussion hall quickly erupted in low-pitched discussions, which lasted for less than a quarter of an hour.
It is definitely not possible inside Seireitei. Every inch of land here is precious, and there are noble mansions and key points everywhere. It is most likely to cause immeasurable property losses; if it is placed in the uninhabited wilderness of Rukongai, once this reckless man's Bankai spreads to the area If it is too large, it is very likely to damage the ground line Reishi, thereby affecting the balance of Three Worlds, and it will be more troublesome to clean up the mess. As for the Sōkyoku Hill where the execution platform is located, it is also in the center of Seireitei...
Just when everyone was arguing, Inquisitor in the corner suddenly spit out two words:
"Dangai."
"Dangai?"
"Dangai?! Is that possible?"
"Why not? Dangai is independent of World of the Living and Soul Society. The interior is vast, with no living beings living there, and no buildings or property that need to be preserved. Even if he pokes a hole in the sky, he won't cause any damage."
Rotating Speaker pondered for a moment, and finally made the final decision. "Then let's settle it there."
A few days later, Dangai.
There is no sky here, and there is no real earth. Looking around, there is only an endless stretch of oppressive gray-black void. Not far away, beside the passage barrier, Kōryū that can swallow and crush ordinary Soul Reaper in an instant rumbles past like a sticky purple tide.
Several representatives Sage sent by Central 46, under the strict protection of First Division elite Squad Member and high-level barriers, are standing on a temporary suspended platform.
Several pampered Sages wrapped their thick robes tightly, and their faces were a little unsightly. The air inside Dangai that isolated Reishi was too cold and too dull, with a disgusting Temporal Stasis, making people feel uncomfortable all over.
And in the desolate void outside the barrier platform, Kuruyashiki stood firmly alone.
After confirming that the witnesses behind him were ready, Kuruyashiki took a deep breath and held the handle of the knife at his waist with both hands. The original cheerful smile gradually faded away, replaced by a suffocating heavy pressure.
"Bankai"
"Starving Pleasure Corridor"
However, in the first few seconds, the surrounding scene did not change at all.
The Sages on the platform faced the heart-stopping Reiatsu, and their faces showed doubts: What's going on? It's obvious that the Reiatsu of the Bankai level has been completely released, why has the Bankai form of Zanpakutō not appeared for a long time?
The next moment someone is about to ask
"Then... what is that?!"
A sharp-eyed Sage suddenly pointed downwards and let out a changed exclamation!
Everyone looked down in shock, and saw that a bottomless black gap opened up without any warning on the Dangai ground not far away, which was made of high-density stones and turbulent flow of time and space! Immediately afterwards, a circle of terrifying jaws that were as white as bones and so huge that the edges could not be seen was slowly opening from the ground!
That was not a summoned object at all, but the entire land under his feet turned into a gluttonous mouth leading to the abyss!
A scene that made everyone's scalp numb happened -
The terrifying Kōryū inside Dangai that was originally unstoppable and that even Captain-Class Soul Reaper dared not touch easily, when passing by the edge of the giant jaw, seemed to have encountered a black hole. It turned around uncontrollably and poured into the bottomless mouth!
Once those violent Kōryūs fall into the giant jaw, the violent time-space turbulence and Reishi aura they originally contained will be completely wiped out in an instant, completely disappearing from this world!
"..."
Just when the group of powerful people were shocked speechless by this god-like scene, Kuruyashiki, who was standing on the edge of the giant jaw, explained his abilities:
"It's just like what you see now! Once my Bankai is opened, the big mouth on the ground will swallow up anything within the range without distinction, whether it is a living person, a dead thing, Reishi or Kidō, it can be chewed up and swallowed, even I can't control its picky eating! But, in the six months after Bankai was liberated, my Zanpakutō could not be liberated again."
Sage They swallowed and looked at the terrifying giant jaws at their feet that seemed to be able to swallow even the barrier platform they were on. They didn't even bother to say a word about the situation, and fled Dangai in a hurry that day.
On the afternoon of the day I returned to Seireitei, a ban was urgently issued by Central 46 at the highest level, heavily stamped with a bright red seal, and was quickly sent by Hell Butterfly to all divisions of Gotei 13:
[In view of the extreme destructive power of Eleventh Division captain Kuruyashiki Kenpachi and Bankai, in order to protect the foundation of Seireitei, from now on, Kuruyashiki is strictly prohibited from liberating Bankai within the territory of Seireitei!]
Almost at the same time, another personnel appointment and dismissal document that was in normal circulation followed this ban and was quietly delivered to the desks of each division.
Tenth Division's former deputy team Chang Huxiaoshan Gangwan officially retired due to injury. After being nominated by the captain and approved by First Division, Tenth Division is now the leader of Seated Officer and Five Great Noble Houses Shiba Clan, and Isshin Shiba is the official successor to Tenth Division. Lieutenant position.
Two official documents with large seals, one behind the other, were placed in the team buildings of each division at the same time.
However, when Seated Officer and Squad Member from each division got these two documents, everyone's eyes were almost fixed on the thin prohibition in front.
"Hey, look at this! Central 46 actually issued a special order prohibiting the new captain of Eleventh Division from driving Bankai in Seireitei?!"
"Oh my God, the use of Bankai has been banned because of its excessive destructive power... This is the first time in the history of Gotei 13, right?!"
"What kind of monster is that captain named Kuruyashiki? What does his Bankai look like, so that he can actually scare those old men like Central 46 like this?"
"Who knows... Anyway, when we see Eleventh Division people in the future, let's go around..."
The entire Seireitei community is agitated by this unprecedented Bankai ban.
As for the personnel document, which was originally considered big news, and said that Isshin Shiba succeeded Tenth Division Lieutenant, it was conveniently placed under the ban without any attention, without even a splash.
