I never expected to run into you here.

No wonder it's so powerful.

Saitō Fubōfu, flicked his finger, and a black Hell Butterfly flew out. "Yamabuki, this is Saito. I'm in a bit of trouble. The Grand Master of the Sternritter and one of his Sternritter are no match for them! There are also two other members of the Sternritter. Requesting backup!"

At this moment, Yamabuki Chidori was sitting in the First Division Barracks, surrounded by many Hell Butterfly, giving overall command of the battlefield.

Upon hearing Saitō Fubōfu, Yamabuki Chidori was surprised that the other party would actually send a member of his Sternritter in order to take over the East District of Seireitei.

"Hold on, I'll be there soon," Yamabuki Chidori said in a deep voice, while simultaneously notifying Shijima Chiru had been roaming and farming in the jungle. "A big fish has appeared in the East District, take all the team members and head there to provide support immediately!"

By this time, Shijima Chiru had already led his team to assassinate a large number of Quincy. With a flick of his wrist, blood beads rolled down his face.

"Yes, sir."

Meanwhile, Yamabuki Chidori informed Zendouji Yuuhin of the 12th Division.

"Shouldn't you bring out the poison you've been researching for half a year?" Yamabuki Chidori asked.

However, Zendouji Yuuhin's situation was not good. She seemed to be engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy. After more than ten seconds, her breathless voice came from the Hell Butterfly: "The Twelfth Division Barracks were attacked. The entire Barracks collapsed. The poison I researched is buried underground, and I can't get it out now!"

Blanch!

Yamabuki Chidori's expression was quite interesting. As the saying goes, things can change in an instant on the battlefield, and it's impossible for everything to go according to your plan. Yamabuki Chidori hadn't expected that the Quincy wouldn't attack the nobles of Soul Society, but instead would directly attack the Twelfth Division Barracks.

And why did you, you fatso, bury something so important underground?

"Who's taken care of the enemies they have now? To provide support to the East District as quickly as possible," Yamabuki Chidori asked the dozen or so Hell Butterfly in front of her.

Soon, the voices of Shunshun Shidō and Katoru Hatsunoya came from the Hell Butterfly.

"We just dealt with the enemy, now we'll go reinforce them!" said Shunshun Shidō.

The area they were in charge of was Central 46, but now Central 46 was in ruins, and there was no need to continue the procedures for this godforsaken place.

"My Flash Step is fast, I'll go provide support first," said Shunshun Shidō.

Katoru Hatsunoya slightly, and Shunshun Shidō quickened his pace, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye.

Katoru Hatsunoya's Flash Step is actually quite strong, but the main problem is that he's carrying a heavy load! Of course, it's not easy for him!

Katoru Hatsunoya ran, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

Logically, Seireitei should be in the midst of war and devastation, so why is this area so peaceful? Not even the chirping of an insect can be heard.

Chapter 263: The Fate's Dice

Katoru Hatsunoya stopped in her tracks, cautiously surveying her surroundings. She sensed that she might have fallen into an enemy encirclement.

Just as she was on high alert, a child's voice came from the side. "Big sister, you're so vigilant! I haven't even activated my ability yet, and you're already on guard."

Katoru Hatsunoya turned around and found a child of about eleven or twelve years old standing behind him.

This is a very handsome boy wearing a very cute hat with two big cat ears on it.

Although he was a boy, he was very slender, with a faint smile in his eyes, and his emerald green pupils shimmered. His golden hair cascaded down his shoulders like a waterfall.

He's a boy, but he's so cute!

"Are you here to ambush my enemy?" Katoru Hatsunoya, holding the Setsugetsumaru in his hand.

The boy smiled and said, "Big sister, don't worry. I dislike fighting and killing. I like playing games. How about you play games with me?"

Katoru Hatsunoya didn't give him a chance to waste words. Although the other party was a very cute child, there was no time to care about that on the battlefield. Katoru Hatsunoya chopped the child in half at the waist with one axe.

However, Katoru Hatsunoya did not feel any real impact. When he turned around, he saw that the child was indeed looking at him with a smile.

"As long as you're inside my territory, such attacks are useless. So come play a game with me!" the little boy said with a grin.

"State your name!" Katoru Hatsunoya looked at the little boy in front of him with a solemn expression.

The little boy took out three dice from his hand.

"My name is Karachi, a member of the Sternritter, and my Schrift is K." The little boy casually tossed the three dice in his hand onto the ground. The dice spun around and eventually rolled three numbers: "665".

"Wow! Looks like I'm in really good luck today! Big sister, I've been waiting for you!" the little boy said to Katoru Hatsunoya.

Katoru Hatsunoya Flash Step beside the little boy and swung his axe at his head. However, the axe simply passed through the little boy's body, as if the boy's body were a phantom.

"Yamabuki once said that once many rule-based abilities are activated, they must be used in accordance with the rules. It's indeed troublesome." Katoru Hatsunoya frowned. Her strength was destructive power, but once she was caught up in rule-based abilities, she could not fully utilize her strength.

Bankai: Sun Moon Flying Wheels!

Shikatori Hakunsai, refusing to believe in superstition, Bankai Katoru Hatsunoya, Sun Moon Flying Wheels at fifteen times the speed of sound, instantly severing the little boy's arm, but still failing to cause him any harm.

"It's no use! Big sister, it's your turn. Let's see what number you can roll. If you don't roll, you'll be considered to have forfeited!" Karachi looked at Katoru Hatsunoya with a smile.

Katoru Hatsunoya suddenly discovered that he had three dice in his hand without knowing when they appeared.

Although she knew something was amiss, she didn't want to follow the enemy's lead.

Just then, Karachi said with a helpless expression, "Time's up! Big sister, you've chosen to forfeit! Don't blame me!"

He pulled a small knife from his pocket, which looked like just a fruit dagger, and swung it lightly.

In an instant, an indescribable, ferocious slash struck Katoru Hatsunoya. In that instant, time and space seemed to be distorted. Katoru Hatsunoya hurriedly sent the Sun Moon Flying Wheels back to use as a shield in front of her. However, her body was still directly blasted away by this terrifying force. Even through the Sun Moon Flying Wheels, the sharp Sword Pressure tore through her skin. Blood seeped out continuously from under her white Captain's Haori, and her internal organs were also severely damaged.

He opened his mouth, and blood gushed out!

"What happened? The defense of the Shinigami Uniform is completely ineffective!" Katoru Hatsunoya looked at the little boy in front of him with a look of horror.

At this moment, the little boy threw the three dice in his hand again.

The three dice spun around on the ground like tops before finally coming to a stop.

"556! Looks like my luck is pretty good this time too, big sister, it's your turn!" Katoru Hatsunoya endured the excruciating pain in his body and looked at the three dice in his hand.

Yamabuki Chidori once analyzed that the Sternritter members' raw strength was not comparable to the current Captain. Even if this boy was incredibly strong, he could not possibly overwhelm Katoru Hatsunoya after his Bankai.

There is only one answer!

That was the game the boy was talking about.

Katoru Hatsunoya stared at the three dice in his hand, and then all of this was related to these three dice?

I didn't choose to roll the dice, and as a result, I was hit hard.

If my score is higher than this boy's, will I be immune to the attack?

Although Katoru Hatsunoya didn't want to follow the opponent's rhythm anymore, he had no other choice. Given the intensity of the attack just now, if he were hit again, his life would be in danger!

Katoru Hatsunoya casually tossed out the three dice in his hand. The three dice bounced around on the ground like candy beans, and finally landed on three numbers.

233.

"Looks like big sister's luck is really bad!" The little boy raised the knife in his hand again and swung it lightly. The terrifying electric current of spiritual energy struck again. Katoru Hatsunoya could only barely resist. When she realized that the enemy's attack was obviously not as strong as before, although she was also injured, the injury was not very serious.

"Numbers... Does that mean the smaller the difference in numbers, the less damage he can cause?" Katoru Hatsunoya's mind raced. In other words, as long as I can throw a higher number than this boy, I can turn the tables and go on the offensive!

"Again!" Katoru Hatsunoya waved his hand lightly, and three dice shot out at the little boy like bullets. However, when the three dice landed in front of the little boy, they suddenly lost all momentum and fell straight to the ground.

664.

There are sixteen points in total.

Katoru Hatsunoya sneered, "Let's see how you think you're older than me now."

The little boy casually tossed the dice, and the three dice spun wildly.

The first die stopped rolling quickly, even though it only rolled one.

A hint of smugness flashed in Katoru Hatsunoya's eyes.

"I've always been very lucky, big sister, don't be too smug."

The second die also stopped rolling, revealing only one dot.

Katoru Hatsunoya controlled the Sun Moon Flying Wheels, and as soon as the third die stopped rolling, she would tear this little bastard to pieces!

After a long spin, the third die finally stopped spinning, also showing only one dot.

However, even after Katoru Hatsunoya launched his attack, he still failed to cause any harm to the little boy; the Sun Moon Flying Wheels simply pierced through the little boy's body.

"It seems you don't gamble often, big sister! Don't you know that three dice with the same number are called a 'leopard'? It wins everything!"

Chapter 264: You want to compete with me in luck?

"Leopard? All-conquering?" How could Katoru Hatsunoya, as the eldest daughter of High-Ranking Noble family, possibly have been exposed to such terms?

Today was even her first time playing dice, so of course she didn't understand the rules.

But the general meaning is that they lost again!

This time, even defense became a luxury for Katoru Hatsunoya. The sharp blade instantly sliced through her abdomen, and blood almost gushed out of her wound. Katoru Hatsunoya quickly took off her Captain's Haori and tightly wrapped it around the wound to prevent her internal organs from being exposed!

At the same time, her body lost its strength, and she knelt on the ground.

After two or three exchanges, Katoru Hatsunoya roughly understood his opponent's abilities. The boy before him had created an illusory space where victory or defeat could only be determined by the roll of dice.

Furthermore, the closer the numbers rolled by both players on the dice, the less damage is inflicted on the other player.

The greater the point difference, the greater the damage.

At the same time, three identical numbers are called a "leopard" and can notify the other numbers.

After roughly figuring out these abilities, Katoru Hatsunoya sat trembling on the ground, blood gushing uncontrollably from his wounds.

"Big sister, you're so resilient! I thought that stab would kill you instantly. But how much longer can you last? If you don't get treatment in time, you'll die in seven or eight minutes at most, right?" the little boy said with a grin.

"Pretty much! But enough for one last round!" Katoru Hatsunoya held three dice in his hand and gently tossed them on the ground.

The three dice rolled around and eventually landed on "666" at the same time.

The little boy's expression changed slightly.

Katoru Hatsunoya gazed at the boy before him. "This time, I've finally won, haven't I?"

The little boy shrugged slightly and said, "I haven't even rolled the dice yet, how do you know you've already won?"

As he spoke, the little boy gently tossed the dice in his hand, and the three dice continued to spin wildly like tops.

Then, all three dice Time Stop.

The number of points he earned was the same as that of Katoru Hatsunoya.

It's also three sixes.

draw?

Katoru Hatsunoya looked at the little boy. "How do you calculate this?"

The little boy smiled smugly, "Big sister, don't you know what 'the banker takes all' means? I'm the banker, you're the player. When our scores are exactly the same, I win."

A bitter look appeared on Katoru Hatsunoya's face. Due to excessive blood loss, she could barely move a finger, let alone launch a counterattack.

"Big sister, I had a lot of fun playing this game. Goodbye!" A cruel glint appeared in the little boy's eyes as he slashed down with his knife.

Suddenly, a sword flashed in front of the little boy. The boy raised an eyebrow slightly. Had another new prey appeared?

But physical attacks are useless in the face of absolute rules. He let the sword light pierce through his body, while the knife in his hand pierced through Katoru Hatsunoya's chest in mid-air.

"Really, you're still a step too late!" A clear, cold voice came from the side. The little boy looked over and saw a young man wearing a straw hat, none other than Ōtōgawa Utsugi, the Captain the Tenth Division of the Gotei 13.

There are also six members of the Tenth Division.

"Captain Katori?" The team members' expressions turned extremely grim when they saw the seriously injured Katoru Hatsunoya.

"Another Captain? I'm so lucky today!" the little boy said with a grin.

Ōtōgawa Utsugi glanced at Katoru Hatsunoya Katoru Hatsunoya was covered in blood with two fatal wounds on her chest and abdomen. She lay motionless on the ground, her chest rising and falling slightly, indicating that she was still alive.

"Take Captain Katori to get treatment immediately, leave this to me," Ōtōgawa Utsugi said to his team members.

"Yes." The team members immediately took Katoru Hatsunoya away from the battlefield and headed to the First Division Barracks, while simultaneously using the Hell Butterfly to notify Yamabuki Chidori.

"My Chief Strategist, Captain Katoru Hatsunoya is seriously injured. Please treat him immediately."

As Yamabuki Chidori was preparing to head to the East District, she felt a pang of anxiety upon hearing this news from the members of the Tenth Division.

"I'm near the Sixth Division Barracks right now. Bring him here immediately," Yamabuki Chidori shouted.

At that time, the Gotei 13 did not have a dedicated medical team, so they had to temporarily assign Yamabuki Chidori to the position of doctor.

When Yamabuki Chidori saw Katoru Hatsunoya, she gasped and hurriedly began to treat her.
