Blood War: The Sternritter Grandmaster / Absolute Zero

Katoru Hatsunoya swore to the heavens that she would never tell anyone about this.

However, after the great battle ended, the entire Soul Society knew about this, and as for whether she actually said it... well Katoru Hatsunoya was determined to deny it to the death.

Whatever!

Apollo fled in a disheveled state to an unknown corner, panting as he looked back. He breathed a sigh of relief only after realizing that the tide of corpses had completely disappeared.

"I didn't expect these Death Captain to be so terrifying. I think I'll just find somewhere to slack off until the war is over," Apollo muttered.

Most of them followed Yhwach to gamble on wealth and a better life in the future; who would want to risk their life?

There are indeed loyal and righteous people in this world, but unfortunately, Apollo was not one of them.

Even the vast majority of the Sternritter are not like that. Most people only think about their own interests, and they follow Yhwach simply because he is strong and can make people feel afraid, nothing more.

Apollo sighed as he walked on, not knowing where he had ended up, when he found himself in a dead end. In the shadow of the wall, there was a little girl of about twelve or thirteen years old.

The little girl had a face, held a short knife in her hand, and looked impatient. Judging from her clothes, she should be a grim reaper.

"Hmph, I can't beat the Captain of the Gotei 13! But I can't beat a little girl like you? I'll capture you and present you to His Majesty!" Apollo approached the little girl with a happy expression.

"I'm a gentleman and don't want to lay a hand on you. Just behave yourself and don't do anything." Apollo was full of superiority, thinking that this little girl was probably about to wet her pants in fear when she saw him, but he found that the little girl just had a cold face and looked at him like he was looking at an ant.

If Death were here, he would recognize the little girl's face at a glance; it was none other than Hane Hane Chiyo.

Apollo, who considered himself the sun god, believed that no one in the world, except His Majesty, could be his equal. He was very displeased to be looked at with such contempt by the little girl in front of him.

"I dislike your eyes! I'll gouge them out, then burn your limbs, letting you die in agony and screams. Hahaha, what a perfect plan! Sun God, thank you for your unparalleled power!" Apollo's hands erupted with golden light, instantly engulfing the little girl before him.

"Don't worry, I've controlled the crisis. I won't burn you to death." Apollo said smugly. The dead end had turned into a Sea of Flames, but the little girl walked out step by step through the flames, her eyes unchanged, looking at Apollo as if he were an ant.

At this point, Apollo was still unaware of the gravity of the situation!

Did I miss just now?

Should we try again?

Apollo had just raised his hand when he found the little girl already standing in front of him, slowly drawing her sword!

In an instant!

Apollo, the man who called himself the sun god, saw the sun blooming before him!

The unparalleled power and intense heat instantly burned Apollo to ashes, bones and skin intact. He probably couldn't even understand what kind of monster he had encountered before he died.

The "little girl" slowly sheathed the knife, her eyes still as cold as ever, as if she had casually crushed an ant.

"What on Yamabuki doing! How could he have made me like this!" the little girl muttered to herself.

Of course, if it's all for the sake of victory, then I can tolerate it.

Chapter 261: Blood War, Commander of the Sternritter

Yhwach was in the rear, could clearly sense that members of the Sternritter had been killed. Without hesitation, he devoured these souls to increase his own power.

This is Auswählen.

Whether it is a member of the Sternritter or an enemy slain by the Knight, their souls are devoured by Yhwach after death, thus strengthening its power.

Yamabuki Chidori knew that Yhwach's power was increasing every moment, but there was nothing she could do about it.

The Sternritter are all strangely powerful. If we tell Captain Captain about this, they will be hesitant to act, as capturing someone alive is much more difficult than killing them.

So let's just kill everyone in the Sternritter and then gang up on Yhwach.

Seireitei East District.

At the same time, four blazing, ice-blue pillars of fire shot into the sky, and countless Quincy appeared on the battlefield.

Shikkōgai Musashi and Saitō Fubōfu, along with their subordinates, coldly stared at the enemies.

"A troublesome person has arrived!" Saitō Fubōfu, whispered. Leading the attack on the East District of Seireitei was none other than Mardon, the Grand Master of the Sternritter.

Mardon's ability is hailed as the strongest shield, capable of easily blocking all non-physical damage.

Back when Yamabuki Chidori and Saitō Fubōfu stormed the Quincy's headquarters, if he hadn't intervened, the Quincy might have suffered heavy casualties.

Besides him, there were three other members of the Sternritter.

"It's you! We meet again." Mardon looked at Saitō Fubōfu, with a calm expression, showing no surprise whatsoever.

"I don't want to see you again." Saitō Fubōfu being, had a fierce expression on his face.

Mardon gently sensed the presence of only two people and shook his head slightly, discovering that they possessed Captain-level Reiatsu.

"The East District is the most important area, yet you only sent this small force. It seems your Staff Officer are nothing special. Everything was as I expected." Mardon lightly drew his knife. "Kill!"

Seeing the overwhelming horde of enemies charging towards them, Saitō Fubōfu raised his sword and ordered his men to charge with all their might.

But neither side's key generals made a move.

The Shikkōgai Musashi and Saitō Fubōfu, stared at Mardon and the three Sternritter members behind him.

He let his men kill each other.

However, the difference in strength between the Shinigami and ordinary Quincy members quickly became apparent. Because the Shinigami had developed new Shinigami Uniform, their defense was greatly enhanced, and the battle started off in a one-sided manner, with Quincy falling down in droves like wheat being harvested.

Mardon's expression turned grave; he had underestimated these grim reapers.

"Then I'll stop here! Kill them all!" Mardon said to the Sternritter members behind him.

But only one member of the Knight emerged.

Judging from his appearance, he should be a teenager, wearing a large hood, with his hands in his pockets and a smile on his face, like a sunny and cheerful boy.

"Three people coming at me at once is making a mountain out of a molehill! Leave it to me!" The boy smiled, looking so relaxed that he didn't seem to be there to fight at all, but rather like he was there for a vacation.

"Eski, don't underestimate the enemy. Their strength is no less than ours," Mardon warned.

The young man named Eski smiled and said, "Alright, alright, I understand! The battle will be over in a second!"

"How arrogant! You're asking for death!" Hearing the boy's boastful words, several Grim Reapers rushed over, swords in hand.

Even if I can't beat you, I'll still slash you!

However, the boy simply opened his arms wide, showing no sign of trying to stop him.

In that instant, a chill ran through Eski. Saitō Fubōfu his incredibly sharp senses, realized something was wrong and hurriedly shouted to his teammates, "Come back now! That's not an enemy you can handle!"

But it was too late.

An unseen force emanated from Eski, freezing the rushing Death Squad members in place.

Saitō Fubōfu nor Shikkōgai Musashi, was unaware of what had happened and took several steps back, remaining cautious and on guard.

Eski walked up to a motionless Grim Reaper, tapped it lightly with his finger, and the Grim Reaper's body shattered like glass, the pieces scattering all over the ground.

Saitō Fubōfu, observed that the bodies of these Grim Reaper members instantly froze, even their blood vessels and internal organs, so that they would crumble into pieces with the slightest tap.

"An ice-attribute ability user?" Saitō Fubōfu growled gravely. How exactly did the enemy use their ability? He hadn't seen it at all!

"Come on! Didn't you want to wipe us out? Then come over here now!" Eski opened his arms and smiled calmly.

"I'll make sure you don't laugh anymore." Saitō Fubōfu, instantly transformed her Zanpakuto into a giant hammer, which was her Shikai ability, Wolf Fang.

Saitō Fubōfu, raised the Wolf Fang in his hand and slammed it hard on the ground. After being released, the Wolf Fang not only changed its appearance, but also gained the power to generate shockwaves.

The giant hammer slammed into the ground, generating a massive shockwave that carried debris towards Eski.

"How terrifying!" Eski smiled slightly, gently stretched out his hand, and the shockwave and debris instantly froze in place.

"The shockwave only freezes within ten meters of his body, meaning his attack range is at most ten meters. Don't get close to him," Saitō Fubōfu shouted.

Shikkōgai Musashi is a pure warrior with no ranged attack capabilities, making him most vulnerable to being taken advantage of by this bizarre and strange power.

Eski maintained a smile and strode over.

"It seems His Majesty overestimated your strength. I could have wiped you all out by myself, sigh!" Eski looked troubled.

Saitō Fubōfu being, slammed his giant hammer into the ground once more, but whether it was shockwaves or rubble, any attack that entered within ten meters of the boy would be frozen.

"To catch the thief, first catch the king!" Shikkōgai Musashi gripped his Zanpakuto and roared in a low voice, "Dance, Blood Dance!"

In an instant, only half of the Zanpakuto's blade remained.

At the same time, his body was strengthened, and he pushed off the ground with both feet, charging towards Mardon.

Mardon drew his sword and fearlessly swung it at the enemy's head.

Swords clashed!

A devastating shockwave swept across the entire area!

The earth cracked instantly, and all the surrounding buildings were damaged. However, it was the one who was at a disadvantage that was the Shikkōgai Musashi.

"I am, after all, the Grand Master of the Sternritter, whose strength is unparalleled in the Sternritter. To think you can defeat me all by yourself is a bit too arrogant, Death!" Mardon said coldly.

Chapter 262: Absolute Zero

To fulfill Yhwach's dream and bring his sister back from the dead, Mardon was absolutely ruthless at this point!

Shikkōgai Musashi flying backward, his feet barely touching the ground when countless arrows of light rained down like a storm.

The power of the Quincy is inherently effective against the power of the Shinigami. Once the power of both sides reaches the same level, it is very difficult for the Shinigami to defeat the Quincy.

Shikkōgai Musashi suddenly swung the half-sword in his hand into the sky, the powerful Sword Pressure sweeping in all directions. But in the gap of his attack, Mardon, like a leech, suddenly appeared and pressed a hand against Shikkōgai Musashi's face from the front.

Then, a powerful Reiatsu erupted from his palm, Shikkōgai Musashi flying backward once again.

Saitō Fubōfu gritted her teeth. She never expected the enemy to send such a powerful fighting force. Seeing that Shikkōgai Musashi was at a disadvantage, Saitō Fubōfu hurriedly swung her giant hammer to go to the rescue.

But when she struck with all her might using both hands, Mardon blocked it with just one hand.

"It seems you still don't understand just how vast the difference in strength between us really is." Mardon looked at Saitō Fubōfu with an indifferent expression.

"Bankai, Dragon Lion Roar, Heavenly Demon Sound."

Saitō Fubōfu, transformed his giant hammer into a large golden trumpet.

"Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow!!!"

Instantly, a terrifying sound wave crashed down on Mardon.

"Looks like you're not quite right in the head. Do you remember when we fought before? This move is useless against me! The Impervious!"

Mardon activated his Schrift ability, negating Saitō Fubōfu Bankai.

Saitō Fubōfu of her powers; after using her Bankai once, she needed a period of time to recover before she could use it again.

How could such an outrageous ability possibly exist in the world?

Eski chuckled and said, "It seems we're all superfluous. The captain alone is enough to handle the two Captain of the Gotei 13."

Saitō Fubōfu being, looked grim as he pondered a solution when suddenly, Reiatsu several times that of Captain-level erupted from the ruins beside him.

"Bankai! Eight Directions Annihilation!"

Shikkōgai Musashi transformed from a human into a monster, instantly charging towards Mardon at a speed beyond reason.

Mardon frowned slightly, neither dodging nor avoiding, and exchanged a punch with Shikkōgai Musashi. However, this time, his strength was clearly no match for Shikkōgai Musashi after his Bankai. He felt a sharp pain in his fist and his body couldn't help but retreat backward.

Just as Shikkōgai Musashi was preparing to press his advantage and charge forward, Eski suddenly blocked Mardon's path.

As for the Shikkōgai Musashi, due to its excessive speed, half of its body had already entered Eski's attack range.

In an instant, an indescribable chill swept over me.

The entire left arm that entered the attack range instantly became immobile, frozen into ice shards by the extremely low temperature. Shikkōgai Musashi made a decisive move, tearing his own left arm apart and retreating rapidly, facing the terrified Eski.

Yamabuki Chidori knows best how strong her body is after Shikkōgai Musashi's Bankai, but now, her body, which she is so proud of, can't even last a second in front of the enemy, forcing her to cut off her arm to survive!

Shikkōgai Musashi looked down at his severed arm. There wasn't even any blood at the break, only shards of ice!

"I understand now. His ability isn't ice-based, but rather extremely low temperature. The moment my arm entered that area, I was unable to move at all!" Shikkōgai Musashi said with difficulty.

Eski clapped lightly. "As expected of the Captain of the Gotei 13, you figured out my secrets after only one attack. My superscript is G, and my ability is Absolute Zero. By the way, I am also a member of His Majesty's Sternritter."

Upon hearing Eski's self-introduction, both Saitō Fubōfu and Shikkōgai Musashi's expressions turned extremely ugly.

As Yamabuki Chidori previously mentioned, Yhwach's four strongest subordinates are known as his Sternritter.
