A huge hole appeared in Pernida's palm, and her arm below lost all strength, causing her to collapse to the ground.
Gin Ichimaru hesitated to step forward. The true Bankai of the Kamishini no Yari was a deadly attack that could kill in one strike. Even Aizen would have to sacrifice his life to recover after being hit.
Could Pernida live again?
This was a problem that troubled him deeply, something that, according to common sense, was simply impossible.
But the Schutzstaffel are often unpredictable; their abilities are like cheat codes, beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
"Ah!" A violent sound wave rang out, shaking the atmosphere and Reishi. Kenpachi Zaraki landed next to Pernida's corpse. The pain of blood spurting out and the ever-growing destructive desire in his heart overwhelmed his remaining rationality.
If you want an enemy, anyone can become one.
His scarlet eyes swept over Gin Ichimaru's body.
"Really?" Gin Ichimaru felt a chill run down his spine, his smile unchanged, but sweat was already beading on his forehead. Could it be? Even his teammates were going to get attacked?
Kenpachi Zaraki black nerves suddenly covered his feet. Sensing danger, he hurriedly swung his broken blade, only to be controlled by even more black nerves. "I... I won't die!"
Thanks to Pernida's evolution, he came back to life. As long as he doesn't reach the critical point of evolution in a short period of time, no external attack can kill him.
The moment his power is activated, he becomes the strongest!
The writhing mass of flesh completely engulfed Kenpachi Zaraki, eventually forming his original left hand. "Once I absorb Kenpachi Zaraki's power, I will be able to annihilate all the dead."
Before he could finish speaking, his body began to expand rapidly. The continuous Reiatsu surged into his cells, which he could not withstand. It was too powerful!
Pernida realized that if she continued to absorb the energy, she would be internally disintegrated, and hurriedly tried to spit out Kenpachi Zaraki.
"Don't want to get stronger? Then try and see who dies first!"
Kenpachi Zaraki gripped the octopus-like mass of flesh with its suckers, refusing to let go and continuously channeling his Reiatsu into it.
You bastard!
Pernida's body swelled from two stories high to four or five, then seven or eight stories.
"Hey, hey," Gin Ichimaru sensed something was wrong and quickly Shunpo to leave.
Bang!
With a deafening roar, Pernida exploded from within, every nerve ruptured, and cells burst from the Reiatsu.
The powerful impact should have swept through the entire District 26, but Kenpachi Zaraki forcibly contained it within a one-kilometer radius. All the buildings disappeared, and not even a speck of dust could be seen.
Kenpachi Zaraki stood alone in the center, covered in blood, his bones protruding outwards. Even after releasing his Bankai, he was still unrecognizable as a human.
" Zaraki, are you still alive?"
Gin Ichimaru Shunpo to return and tentatively asked a question.
"..." Kenpachi Zaraki was unable to answer. His eyes rolled back, and he fainted. His Reiatsu was barely perceptible.
"Unconscious, still standing... tsk tsk, I can't even tell who's the monster, this guy or Pernida."
Gin Ichimaru remarked, "Don't touch this person," and turned to call the Fourth Division's medical team forward.
He wasn't a medical professional and didn't know whether the man's injuries were suitable for movement; he suggested leaving it to a professional to assess.
"It looks like a pretty intense fight over there. Haschwalth is no easy opponent."
Gin Ichimaru shook his head from side to side, as a suffocating Reiatsu surged from an unseen place.
He hopes it will end soon; he prefers the leisurely days of brewing tea and eating bread every day.
" Getsuga Tenshō!"
A jet-black crescent moon tore through the earth. Haschward did not dodge; with a gentle swing of his spirit sword, he deflected the attack, which had a higher spiritual pressure than a Cero.
The Balance can turn the world's strongest defenses into tofu, and the world's softest leaves into the sharpest weapons.
Haschwalth turned his head and saw that Pernida's Reiatsu had disappeared, Kenpachi Zaraki's Reiatsu was also undetectable. Had they perished together?
That's actually a pretty good ending.
If you fight to the death for His Majesty, with that mindset, you won't face the despair of the subsequent Auswählen.
good.
Haschwalth lowered his eyes, took a step forward with his Hirenkyaku, and moved closer to Ichigo Kurosaki.
The speed in that instant allowed Tong Kong to amplify, and the Reishi Sword swung forward violently.
Ichigo Kurosaki dared not resist, fearing that his Tensa Zangetsu would break in two, a probability that, according to Mayuri Kurotsuchi, was very high.
[Honestly, I've been following the updates lately, switching sources, and using various reading voice options. yeguoyuedu is available for both Android and iOS.]
We can't take any of Haschwalth's attacks head-on, nor can we kill him too ruthlessly. The only option is to stall him until Mayuri Kurotsuchi is ready.
So, how long are they going to drag this out?
Ichigo Kurosaki felt he was nearing his limit. His Shunpo was barely managing to dodge Haschwalth's Hirenkyaku; he could practically just brush past him.
The Reishi sword sliced across his chest, and he retreated again, panting and sweat beading on his forehead. "Was it worth it to lose your companion?"
He wanted to stall for time by talking to see if the other person would respond; if not, he would have to keep calling.
Haschwalth did not continue the attack, saying, "For the sake of our long-cherished wish of a thousand years."
It was all worth it, Ichigo Kurosaki. You also have Quincy blood flowing through your veins, so why did you stand on the side of the Shinigami?
"I will not stand by Yhwach wanted to kill Ishida's mother. Don't tell me you've forgotten that cruel Auswählen."
Ichigo Kurosaki shouted loudly.
" Auswählen?" Haschwalth looked somewhat surprised. "Is that so? I see. So Uryū Ishida went to the Wandenreich from the beginning with revenge. Are you friends with him?"
"Yes." Ichigo Kurosaki. "Although he might not admit it, we're neighbors and childhood friends, that's a fact."
"My dearest friend..."
Haschwalth suddenly remembered the boy he met in that forest, Bazz-B, and suddenly understood why he hated Uryū Ishida —the two were too similar.
It's not quite like that, at least Uryū Ishida never gave up on his friends.
Did he give up?
Haschwalth's eyes flickered with uncertainty, then hardened. Those were unnecessary emotions, utterly insignificant before His Majesty's grand cause. "I've changed my mind. You will all die here."
As he spoke, a shield appeared in his hand; it was white with gold diamond-shaped star-cross protrusions.
The Misfortune Shield allows him to take the brunt of any enemy attack.
This includes toxic substances.
" Mayuri Kurotsuchi, would you like to try what it feels like to make your own poison?"
Smack
Cracks appeared on the Misfortune Shield. Haschwalth's eyes darted around, and using his ability to the Balance, he instantly doubled the damage and returned it to Mayuri Kurotsuchi.
"Ugh!" Mayuri Kurotsuchi, who was secretly making arrangements nearby, coughed up a mouthful of blood. "You, you bastard!"
" Captain Kurotsuchi!"
Ichigo Kurosaki shouted in alarm.
