The Unforgiven from Shinigami
Boom!
The giant of light slapped down, a simple action, yet with immense destructive power, the shockwave scattering tiny fragments of rock into bullets.
Tōshirō Hitsugaya raised his hand, freezing the nearby pebbles as he panted. He then used Shunpo to Shunpo to the feet of the Giant of Light and attempted to freeze him as well.
The cold air had absolutely no effect; the Reiatsu was too strong to allow any cold air to invade.
On the surface, the Giant of Light could easily tear apart the ice with a mere movement.
He dodged again in Shunpo.
The giant of light opened its mouth and shot out a beam of laser light that rushed towards that spot.
"Damn it, how am I supposed to defeat this guy?"
Tōshirō Hitsugaya landed, his brows furrowed tightly; the Reiatsu within him was about to give way as he tried to dodge.
Blade Sea attacked from the side, striking the giant of light's body to draw its attention.
Byakuya Kuchiki noticed that Tōshirō Hitsugaya was too exhausted, so he decided to cover for his actions.
At this moment, the Giant of Light paused, his white, childlike eyes gazing in one direction. A chilling Reiatsu seemed to rise from the ground, attempting to freeze one's soul.
Tōshirō Hitsugaya looked somewhat surprised. "This Reiatsu... Captain-Commander Shiraishi? Has he encountered an enemy?"
Something's not right. I didn't sense any intense Reiatsu emanating from that direction. There was some just now, but it was blocked by Ichigo Kurosaki.
That Quincy should be dead.
He couldn't understand it. His emerald-green eyes widened suddenly. "Could it be... a joke? We're over fifty kilometers away!"
As if to prove his words, a touch of orange rose from the horizon, and the entire azure sky burst into flames like dry tinder being ignited.
The flames moved at such incredible speed that they didn't even have time to disappear before they spread across the sky and fell upon Gerard's massive body.
His raised arm touched the Crimson Lotus Hellfire and quickly burst into flames. "Ah!"
Gerard let out a deafening roar, stepped back, and was engulfed in flames before vanishing completely amidst a wail.

Looking at the sky, Tōshirō Hitsugaya was astonished. "Is the difference really that big?"
The pride he felt from previously learning Bankai and unleashing his power was once again suppressed.
He still has a long way to go.
Thinking this, the outer barrier dissipated, and the Shinigami guarding the outside stormed into the ruins.
"Captain!" Rangiku Matsumoto leaped across the rubble and shouted.
"I'm here."
Tōshirō Hitsugaya shouted, then realized he was still in Bankai form and quickly released his power.
From tallest to shortest.
Seeing this change, Rangiku Matsumoto rubbed her eyes and asked, "Captain, why did you change like that just now?"
"What did you say? I've always been like this. Are you hallucinating?"
The reason Tōshirō Hitsugaya chose to keep it a secret was because he disliked Rangiku Matsumoto's Kog'Maw; if he told her, the news would soon spread throughout the Gotei 13.
Everyone knows that his Bankai will turn him into a handsome man.
He didn't want those kinds of rumors to spread.
"Is that so?" Rangiku Matsumoto narrowed her eyes slightly, feeling something was off, though she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
After all, she knew what the captain's Bankai was. Was she just hallucinating?
She was filled with self-doubt. Seeing Tōshirō Hitsugaya's weak appearance, she quickly stepped forward and said, "Don't move. Let the Fourth Division handle it."
"Compared to this, Captain Zaraki's situation is much more dangerous; he's shouldering too much burden alone."
Tōshirō Hitsugaya wanted Kenpachi Zaraki to be rescued first; in the battle just now, that guy went head-to-head with Gerard the whole time, and it was unclear whether he was still alive.
"Don't worry, Yin is being searched for. You should get some rest."
"Hmm." Tōshirō Hitsugaya nodded, feeling a weight lifted from his heart. Unable to continue, he breathed a sigh of relief and fell unconscious.
Rangiku Matsumoto caught him, looking at his tired expression, feeling helpless. It was all her fault as the vice-captain for being so incompetent, which made the captain take on so much responsibility.
Hey, she picked up Tōshirō Hitsugaya and ran towards the Fourth Division's medical ward.
" Captain Zaraki ~ Captain Zaraki ~"
Gin Ichimaru casually hopped among the ruins, like a child playing hopscotch, with an air of nonchalance. "Are you still alive?"
He called out again, and saw the stones in the ruins ahead move. He was about to go forward when...
A large slab of stone flew towards him, which he skillfully dodged, smiling as he said, "You look very energetic, that's wonderful!"
"Ha, is that guy dead?"
Kenpachi Zaraki was covered in blood, his Shihakushō and haori were tattered, and there were many gruesome wounds sticking out. He looked like he was in a bad situation.
His eyes, however, didn't look like those of a seriously injured person; they were full of passion, like a flame burning within them. "Who did this?"
I just woke up from a nap and was about to get back to work when Gerard disappeared.
Kenpachi Zaraki was quite depressed. He rarely encountered such a powerful enemy, and the fight was really exhilarating. At one point, he thought he was going to die.
Gin Ichimaru spread his hands and said, " Captain-Commander Shiraishi, from the base, landed a long-range attack on Gerard, burning him to death."
"Is that so?"
Kenpachi Zaraki muttered, a sinister smile spreading across his face, "He's really strong. I'd love to have a go at him."
"This is no easy task, after all, he's the Captain-Commander now."
Gin Ichimaru replied with a smile.
Kenpachi Zaraki ignored his words, sat down, leaned back, and said, "I'm going to sleep."
After saying that, he immediately started snoring and fell asleep in a second.
Gin Ichimaru scratched his head and said, "I need to go back to sleep. Ugh, I have to help you again."
Despite his complaints, he still chose to help carry the person on his back and take him to the Fourth Division's medical team.
"Is Gerard dead?"
In the Kuchiki District, the blond youth stopped in his tracks, looked up at the distant sky, and thought, "Shinigami is indeed not to be underestimated."
That was Shiraishi's attack, wasn't it?
However, who were the other people— Kenpachi Zaraki, Byakuya Kuchiki, and someone else—who were able to push Gerard to that point?
As Haschwalth thought this, he turned and disappeared into a dark alley.
His Majesty's order is to disperse and attack Shinigami.
He viewed this order as an attempt to escalate the situation and attract Shinigami's attention.
As for His Majesty's thoughts, he wouldn't speculate too much; he would simply obey.
Therefore, it is necessary for him to dig out the buried hidden pieces.
The alley leads to a dead end.
Haschwalth ignored him and barged in. Ripples spread across the walls, revealing a staircase leading down below.
He continued walking down, hearing loud music and seeing colorful lights flashing across the darkness as hundreds of people swayed their bodies on the dance floor.
Haschwalth turned towards the passageway outside the dance floor, and as he walked forward, someone raised a hand to stop him, "Wait, outsiders are not allowed here."
Tell Alexander that I, Glenn Haschwalth, have come to visit.
