Shiraishi reacted quickly, and before the impact of the explosion could hit, he used the Steel Tempest to leave the cave and reach the outside of the cave entrance.
At this moment, the setting sun was like blood, and the loud noise arrived late. The cave collapsed, and the tremor shook the entire mountain.
Thick smoke and dust billowed from the collapsed cave.
Shiraishi drew his sword without using any skills, simply swinging it once.
The smoke and dust split in two and dispersed.
Half of the mountain splits apart, creating a narrow passage between the mountains.
He didn't sheathe his sword, his eyes filled with a sinister look. Within the Gotei 13, only one person was capable of such a despicable act: Mayuri Kurotsuchi.
Before he could use his Spiritual Sense to expand his search...
"Oh, the flesh bomb didn't work at all. Was it that ability that passed through Captain Soi Fon's body? Interesting, I really want to take it apart and study it."
Mayuri Kurotsuchi stepped forward, his true face completely hidden beneath a fake. His appearance was bizarre, with an extremely ugly scissor-style haircut, his face painted black, and the edges of his cheeks painted pure white.
The ears and chin area feature conch shells shaped like gold.
The Shihakushō uniform features a purple high collar that turns outwards, Zanpakuto is distinctively tucked into the front of the crotch.
When did you find me?
"Ten days ago, the idiot who helped you cover for him died unexpectedly."
Mayuri Kurotsuchi spread his hands; he didn't object to his subordinates earning extra money, provided that it didn't affect his experimental projects.
Even after he personally asked to see Shiraishi, he still dared to conceal it; this was tantamount to courting death.
With just a little trickery, they could find out who was behind it all, and then, during a routine medical check-up, on the lab table, he would suddenly fall ill and die.
This is the statement submitted to the Central 46 Chambers.
He was a soldier after all; there should always be some reason for his death.
Shiraishi frowned and said, "Then why did you only make your move today?"
"It's simple, we need to make some preparations to deal with your abilities."
Mayuri Kurotsuchi of his own combat abilities, which were by no means very strong. To capture Captain-level powerhouse, he would have to rely on science.
"You think you can hurt me by using Uncle Kyōhei and the others?"
"No, they were just trying it out."
Mayuri Kurotsuchi answered easily.
His murderous aura surged.
Shiraishi couldn't hold back any longer. Steel Tempest, passing through Mayuri Kurotsuchi's body, followed by a Steel Tempest, a circular golden slash aimed at her neck.
He knew this man was a monster; he knew he wouldn't die unless his head was chopped off.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi was blind, but her Spiritual Sense detected a deadly danger. Her neck seemed to turn into a swamp, and her head was swallowed whole.
Did the slash miss?
Because his back was turned, Shiraishi had no idea why he had missed.
The Reiatsu was clearly coming from behind, and I wasn't trying to avoid it.
The ground in front of him suddenly exploded, and a rapidly spinning arm, resembling an electric drill, stabbed towards his abdomen.
Bang!
The golden vortex exploded; this was the passive shield he had accumulated through his Way of the Wanderer. The attacker's strike clearly lacked the power to penetrate the shield.
"Ah!" A soft cry rang out as the attacker was thrown back by the force of the impact.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi behind him was also thrown several meters away.
"You actually have this ability? I'm becoming more and more interested in you."
Mayuri Kurotsuchi's head sprang from his neck, his golden eyes filled with excitement, as if he couldn't wait to conduct a dissection experiment on the spot.
He wanted to know everything about Shiraishi —the structure of her body, her strange abilities—and to see how her body would react under various forms of mental torture and physical stimulation.
Skinning alive, relentlessly chopping and crushing...
As he excitedly conceived his idea, an extremely cold Reiatsu spread through the mountains, its silent heaviness affecting the residents of the Rukongai in Rice Village.
Shiraishi tried to turn around but found that he couldn't move his hands and feet. This space seemed to have solidified, no, it was as if a lot of glue had been injected into the air.
"You finally figured it out. It's so easy to guess what an idiot is thinking. I've already asked Captain Soi Fon about your abilities in detail: passing through a person's body and striking from behind."
Mayuri Kurotsuchi said this, her eyes were full of smugness. "So I modified the area beneath your feet beforehand, installing Reishi solidification device to restrict your movements."
In other words, you're now completely trapped.
As he spoke, Mayuri Kurotsuchi his head and slowly drew his Zanpakuto with his right hand. "Out of respect for you, I've decided to use equal power to bring you down completely."
"Power equal to mine?"
Shiraishi retorted, then added with a mocking tone, "Fool."
"Being able to recognize your own stupidity means you're better than 80% of idiots, but you're still an idiot."
Mayuri Kurotsuchi scoffed, then shouted, " Bankai, Konjiki Ashisogi Jizo!"
The blade rapidly expanded, transforming from metal into a lump of flesh. Two chubby golden arms first braced themselves on the ground on either side, a crimson cloak draped down, and a huge golden baby's head rose up, its pair of grayish-white pupils frightening, yet it was topped with an angelic halo.
Purple poisonous mist spilled from its mouth.
A non-lethal dose was used to completely incapacitate Shiraishi.
This was Mayuri Kurotsuchi's idea.
"When did you develop the illusion that you were equal in strength to me?"
Shiraishi sheathed his sword, and the massive Konjiki Ashisogi Jizo behind him split in two, splitting Mayuri Kurotsuchi from head to toe.
The situation reversed in an instant.
The Steel Tempest can not only be used on people, but also on wind. As long as the wind blows across the land and the Reiatsu is sufficient, he can continuously use the E technique.
The Reishi solidification device is completely ineffective unless a small, separate barrier space is created, which would restrict his movement.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi clearly uses the Steel Tempest ability as a technique to attack people.
One wrong step leads to a series of wrong steps.
" Mayuri- sama!!" A heart-wrenching scream rang out as the woman with her braided hair rushed over, grabbed the broken Zanpakuto it into the separated body.
Just as Shiraishi was about to speak, it was no use, when his vision flashed as the two halves of his body dissolved and merged into liquid. He exclaimed in utter astonishment, "You're still alive?! You fucking aren't dead?!"
"Heh, I already said I made some preparations. To deal with your vertical slash, horizontal slash, and three upward slashes, I relocated my brain, heart, stomach, and other organs. Your attack didn't even scratch my vitals."
Mayuri Kurotsuchi Mayuri Kurotsuchi, explained the situation, "It seems I misjudged your abilities. I definitely won't give them to you again next time. What are you trying to do? Stop! Stop right now!!"
Shh.
Shiraishi urinated on it.
"Don't you dare be so arrogant, you brat!!"
"You're the arrogant one, recklessly toying with life, not understanding its preciousness. All you ever talk about is experiments and research. I'll make you, you scum, understand what loss truly means."
Shiraishi finished putting on his pants, then hooked his finger around the red ring around the woman's neck. Overwhelmed by his Reiatsu, the woman was completely unable to resist and obediently lifted up. "This woman is mine now."
