boom.
The ground was torn apart, and the golden slash continued forward. The figure in shadow under the hood did not dodge. The street silently rolled up, its surface covered with black patterns.
That was Pernida's nerve; he could not only manipulate the ground but also amplify the power of the manipulated objects. Otherwise, how could an ordinary floor withstand the slashes unleashed by Kenpachi Zaraki?
Stone fragments flew everywhere with a loud bang, and black nerves spread along the ground towards Kenpachi Zaraki.
Having received information from Gin Ichimaru, he naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to rush in and attack; otherwise, the battle would end in an instant.
Kenpachi Zaraki dislikes one-sided, overwhelming battles. Whether he crushes the enemy or the enemy crushes him, it's not something he considers.
There's absolutely no fun in that kind of battle.
Kenpachi Zaraki leaped into the air and shouted, "Devour, Nozarashi!"
The Zanpakuto, which had been rough and jagged, suddenly transformed into a sharp, large blade as large as a door panel.
He immediately swung his hand downwards, severing the nerves that were trying to wrap around him, causing a large amount of blood to spurt out.
"This is bad!" Kenpachi Zaraki instinctively sensed danger. He pushed off the air with his foot, his towering figure instantly teleporting to the rooftop beside him. "Does he have nerves in his blood too? Interesting. Where should I start cutting?"
Drops of blood in the air transformed into tiny earthworm-like wriggling creatures.
Kenpachi Zaraki's excitement didn't diminish; he was unusually starting to think about how to kill his opponent while avoiding those obstacles.
" The Bakudō #61, the Rikujōkōrō."
Gin Ichimaru wasn't idle; he attempted to use Kidō to bind her. A flash of light appeared at his fingertips, and six golden light plates clamped around Pernida's waist—or rather, did this Soul King even have a waist on his left hand?
The answer is no.
Gin Ichimaru watched as the thing began to swell, the golden light shards shattered instantly, and even the hood outside burst open, evolving into a gigantic left hand that surpassed the size of a house.
There are iron chains connecting the five fingers, and there is an eye in the palm, but there are two pupils inside.
"Enemy."
Pernida always followed Yhwach's orders, keeping her nerves hidden within her body and not gathering any intelligence. She was only required to attack the enemy during battles.
[I recommend Wild Fruit Reading; it's really good for tracking books. You can download it here: yeguoyuedu. Give it a try!]
Such a command naturally stemmed from Yhwach's fear of his ability to evolve infinitely.
If he had started evolving a thousand years ago, even Yhwach probably wouldn't have been able to control his power today.
Therefore, like Gremmy, he was, to some extent, limited by Yhwach.
One is a sleeping brain in a vat, the other is a closed-off, shadowy person who doesn't communicate with anyone.
Unlike other members of the Sternritter, they were not given the opportunity to develop freely.
Bankai: Kamishini no Yari.
Seeing that Kido was ineffective, Gin Ichimaru Kidō to try attacking with Bankai. As long as it was within the effective range of his Bankai, there was little difference between 100 meters and 1 meter; both would reach maximum power.
The Kamishini no Yari transformed into a sharp white light and rushed forward.
Pernida's outward-radiating nerves extended to the houses on both sides, causing the houses, like noodles, to merge into the front, blocking the Kamishini no Yari from attacking his eyeballs.
Boom! A white light pierced through the wall and struck Pernida's eyeball directly. The Blut Vene covered the surface of his eyeball, allowing him to withstand the attack for a short time.
Then, he moved slightly away, allowing the Kamishini no Yari to continue piercing forward, while his nerves tried to take the opportunity to cover it and invade the Kamishini no Yari.
Kenpachi Zaraki closed in a flash, dodging his black nerves, and brought his sword down with a swift motion.
The golden slash from a distance severed two of Pernida's fingers, causing a large amount of blood to spurt out.
The black nerves on the ground sprang up, transforming into spears that pierced straight at the ground.
Kenpachi Zaraki kicked off and quickly retreated from the spot, landing on the roof with a displeased expression. " Ichimaru, don't interfere, just watch from there!"
"I don't want to get involved either, but it seems the enemy outnumbers us now."
Gin Ichimaru replied with a smile, his tone devoid of panic, but he was clearly feeling quite troubled.
If Kenpachi Zaraki hadn't seized the opportunity to attack, his nerves would have invaded the interior of his Kamishini no Yari.
This is tricky; it means that while the Zanpakuto injure him, there's also the risk of it being covered in nerve energy.
If the enemy were to invade his mind, not only would the knife become useless, but he himself would also be in danger.
"Oh dear, it's better to contact Nemuro to resolve this. He's full of tricks and doesn't seem to value his Zanpakuto."
Gin Ichimaru complained, then sensed the Reiatsu emanating from the Research and Development Institute. He sighed, "But things aren't peaceful there either. Even Ichigo Kurosaki couldn't defeat this opponent... judging by the Reiatsu, it's Haschwalth."
The two severed fingers began to swell into fleshy clumps, transforming into fingers and arms.
Pernida, who had previously lost a finger, also regrew two very powerful fingers due to evolutionary traits.
The three Soul King ' left hands were positioned in front, with only the middle hand able to speak, indicating that they were not yet three independent entities. "It is indeed Haschwalth's Reiatsu. The all-out war has begun, and we Quincy must annihilate the Shinigami."
"You've become quite fluent in your speech."
Kenpachi Zaraki's face showed solemnity, but his eyes were unusually excited as he said, "Judging from your appearance, you must have become even stronger."
"That's right, I'm stronger than all of you."
Pernida spoke in a tone that mimicked Gin Ichimaru, and her personality seemed to be the kind that starts collecting information about Kenpachi Zaraki.
In his judgment, anything that could help him evolve should be absorbed. He had an advantage in speaking, and as for personality, Zaraki Gin Ichimaru was better suited for survival in battle. "I'm going to kill you all."
The Quincy's light bow appeared on each fingertip, and beams of Heilig Pfeil shot outward like rain.
Kenpachi Zaraki his sword, severing the incoming Heilig Pfeil, and the Black Nerve pierced towards him.
He quickly leaped backward and unleashed a slash through the air.
Immediately afterwards, the roof was suddenly lifted off, and black nerves from another hand spread across the roof.
Kenpachi Zaraki was forced to jump to the side, "Ha!"
He roared, stomping his foot and cracking the roof, sending the flying pebbles flying into sharp fragments that flew forward.
The nerves swept away those.
Kenpachi Zaraki bought himself a brief moment to retreat, leaping to the other side once more. Pernida used the same old tactic, with Heilig Pfeil clearing the way ahead, while Black Nerves spread forward at an even faster pace.
It's an old trick, but very practical and effective.
If Pernida continues to improve, evolve at an ever-increasing speed and with increasing power, and continues to maintain the status quo, it will definitely be defeated.
We must find a solution.
Bankai?
Kenpachi Zaraki thought to himself, but he didn't particularly like that kind of violent power.
Outsiders call him a beast, which he doesn't care about, but he wouldn't want to become that kind of beast who loses his mind.
Bankai, he is completely unaware of the outside world and cannot enjoy the pleasure that battle brings.
Unless he can control the berserk state brought about by Bankai.
"There's no other way, but we'll give it a try."
Kenpachi Zaraki, no longer wanting to run away, decided to unleash his Bankai during the battle.
