Chapter 213 Translate for me what a surprise is!? (Please subscribe)
Inside the dark cave.
"Why can't I just charge in and wipe out all those bastards?"
The burly, red-haired man sat there unhappily, looking resentful.
"Do you really want to be beaten to death?"
Beside the burly man was a catgirl with an exceptionally beautiful figure. At this moment, the catgirl was looking at the burly man with disdain; she hated muscular, simple-minded guys the most.
You think I'll get beaten to death?
"Are you kidding me...? Do you even know how powerful I really am?"
"How could a mere Soul Reaper possibly defeat me?"
As the burly man spoke, he exerted all his strength, causing his muscles to swell with blood, making him appear even larger.
"How disgusting..."
" Little White is still the cutest~"
The catgirl felt nauseous looking at the muscular man's body. She floated up and lightly flew to a handsome man with a frosty face, dressed in blue and white clothes.
"I... I think I've forgotten something extremely important."
The handsome man with an icy expression muttered to himself, constantly recalling things he had forgotten.
Although Muramasa's Zanpakuto is incredibly powerful, and in some aspects its Zanpakuto power even surpasses Sōsuke Aizen Kyōka Suigetsu, this hypnosis is not absolute. Against Soul Reaper with overwhelming Spiritual Pressure, his hypnosis cannot be perfect.
"What's there to think about?"
Why not cherish the present moment?
"As long as we're happy together."
As the catgirl spoke, she struck a sexy pose, enticing the tall, handsome man before her.
"No..."
"I'm going to find out what I've forgotten."
The icy handsome guy glanced at the catgirl and then shook his head in refusal.
The handsome guy wasn't interested in the catgirl; he was more interested in finding something he had lost.
"What? Let your big sister pamper you~ It'll be so much fun~"
After hearing the handsome man's words, the catgirl's interest not only didn't diminish, but actually increased.
"Get out of the way."
The icy handsome man's face flashed with displeasure as he was harassed by the catgirl.
"Why are you so angry? Aren't I cuter than your damn brat host?"
Despite hearing the words of the icy handsome man, the catgirl still had no intention of giving up. She planned to make good use of her stunning figure to seduce the icy handsome man she was riding.
"I'm going to make my move."
The handsome, icy man still looked displeased, and his hands emanated a chilling, bone-deep coldness.
" Hyōrinmaru, Haineko!"
"Please be quiet for a moment, Muramasa is here."
Just as the icy man was about to make his move, a sound echoed in the darkness.
"Um?"
The handsome, aloof man's movements abruptly stopped, following the echoing sound.
" Hyōrinmaru, Haineko, stop fooling around, we need to start a strategy meeting."
In the pitch-black darkness, where not a ray of light could be seen, a man piercing through a white leather coat slowly emerged.
"Get down here now!"
The icy handsome man gently patted the snow-white leg of the Haineko riding on his neck and spoke.
"And~"
"Boring..."
The Haineko sighed, reluctantly jumping off the icy handsome man's neck, looking displeased.
"Everyone!"
"I presume that your willingness to accept my call stems from deep dissatisfaction with your current hosts!"
Why should we be reduced to mere tools?
"By what right do the Soul Reaper have the audacity to manipulate us?"
"This isn't fair... this isn't the world we want!"
"We will use our own hands to create the world we want, defeat Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai, and defeat Sōgo Shihoin!"
"Let this world become our plaything!"
Muramasa spread his hands and shouted loudly to the Zanpakuto spirits all around him.
"Oh!!!"
Countless Zanpakuto spirits raised their hands and responded in unison to Muramasa.
"Therefore, we need more strength."
"Everything that can become our power... everything!"
Muramasa muttered to himself, "I've decided to go for something big."
Dawn breaks...
When the sun shines on the earth, Gotei 13 is a scene of devastation.
Inside the First Division Barracks.
"Report! Captain-Commander Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai, according to our statistics, the leaders of the Sixth Division, Byakuya Kuchiki; the Seventh Division, Sajin Komamura; the Tenth Division, Tōshirō Hitsugaya; and the Twelfth Division, Mayuri Kurotsuchi —all five of them have run into trouble with the enemy, and the spirits of their Zanpakuto have all escaped..."
An intelligence agent dressed in a black bodysuit knelt on one knee before Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai and recounted the information he had compiled.
"Um."
"Keep a close eye on things, and report to me immediately if anything else happens."
Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai gripped the scepter tightly. The current crisis could be described as... the greatest crisis the Soul Society had ever faced. The stronger the Soul Reaper Zanpakuto in the Soul Society, the greater the threat they posed to the Soul Society.
It's fine if other people's Zanpakuto are controlled by the enemy, but if even his Zanpakuto is controlled by the enemy...
Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai couldn't help but frown. If even his Zanpakuto, Ryūjin Jakka, could be manipulated by the enemy's Muramasa ability, and if the sword spirit could materialize... If Sōgo Shihoin could also be affected by the enemy's ability... then Soul Society might really be destroyed.
" Yamamoto..."
Just as Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai sighed in resignation, he heard whispers in his ear, and at the same time, he could feel the restless power within his body.
"Oh no!"
Although Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai was prepared for an enemy attack, he did not expect it to come so quickly.
"We can't let Ryūjin Jakka get out of control!"
Thinking this, Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai gripped his cane, sat down on the spot, and set up a super-powerful barrier around himself.
"This is..."
Emerging from the shadows, Muramasa stared at the barrier that isolated everything before him, momentarily stunned.
"As expected of Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai, he is indeed decisive in his actions."
Muramasa realized that he couldn't break through the barrier no matter what he tried, he shook his head with a sigh. Even though he and Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai were now enemies, he still admired Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai.
The barrier that isolates all things not only prevents external interference from entering, but also prevents those inside from sensing what's happening outside. In other words, Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai went to extremes to prevent Muramasa from entering his mind and communicating with the devastating Ryūjin Jakka. He chose to seal his five senses.
"We'll have to give up on Yamamoto for now, but what about the others..."
"The other objectives must be achieved."
Muramasa coldly observed Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai, who had entered a turtle-shell state, and decided to set his sights on the other captains of the Gotei 13...
At noon, the sun shone brightly on the earth.
Ah~
"Awesome~"
Finally awake, Sōgo Shihoin stretched his limbs, got out of his soft bed, opened his heavy door, and prepared to embrace the sun.
"Yo~ Sōgo- kun, you're finally awake."
When Sōgo Shihoin, what he saw was a group of squad captains who had been waiting outside the door for a long time.
"Hmm? Could it be that I'm opening it wrong?"
Sōgo Shihoin seriously suspected that he had awakened a spatial superpower... or he was just seeing things. Otherwise, how could he possibly see all the captains of the Gotei 13 standing menacingly in front of his gate? This was too strange...
For a moment Sōgo and the Gotei 13, including Shunsui Kyōraku, stared at each other in bewilderment.
" Sōgo? Has someone arrived?"
Just as Sōgo was looking at the group, unsure of what to say, staring at each other in silence, Shaoling Fon rang out in the room.
"Wait a mininute..."
Sōgo slammed the door shut and went back to tidy up.
What's wrong with Sōgo?
Inside the room, Shaoling Fon, barefoot and wearing a revealing nightgown, stared blankly at Sōgo Shihoin, a few messy, self-assured strands of hair sticking up on her head.
"There's no time to explain, hurry up and change your clothes."
Without offering much explanation, Sōgo Shihoin pulled Shaoling Fon directly into the changing room...
"Huh?"
"Wait... isn't it a bit inappropriate to do this in the morning?"
Shaoling Fon's face flushed red, and her previously drowsy mind instantly became more than half awake.
What nonsense are you talking about?
"Hurry up and get dressed, we have an uninvited guest."
Sōgo Shihoin threw the hoodie directly at Shaoling Fon's face.
"Ha?"
A hint of doubt flashed in Shaoling Fon's eyes, but she still followed Sōgo Shihoin's instructions and got dressed.
Five minutes later.
After quickly changing their clothes Sōgo Shihoin and Shaoling Fon pushed open the bedroom door once again.
"Looks like there won't be any problems this time~"
"Then I'll take my leave."
Shunsui Kyōraku Sōgo Shihoin, who was already dressed, and went into the house.
"Hey! Who let you in?"
Sōgo Shihoin was furious at the person who had entered his room without his permission.
"Haha..."
"Time is of the essence. What we need to discuss next is a matter of great importance that threatens the entire Soul Society, so I'm entrusting this to you, Sōgo Shihoin."
Shunsui Kyōraku smiled gently, then looked intently at Sōgo Shihoin as he spoke.
"Please, Sōgo-kun."
Behind Shunsui Kyōraku were Retsu Unohana, Jūshirō Ukitake, Byakuya Kuchiki, Kōga Kuchiki, Sajin Komamura, Kūkaku Shiba.
"Sigh... alright!"
Tell me what exactly happened.
Sōgo Shihoin knew that bringing together these people who would normally have no connection was a major event that would shake the entire Soul Society, so he made way for them and let them into his house.
"Okay, tell me what happened?"
In the spacious living room, Sōgo Shihoin sat in the main seat and asked the group a question.
" The Kōga Kuchiki brothers' Zanpakuto, the Demon Sword Muramasa gone berserk!"
"Everyone's Zanpakuto in the entire Soul Society has defected."
"Now, even Captain-Commander Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai went missing from the First Division Barracks around 9:00 AM this morning."
"The entire Soul Society is currently leaderless!"
Shunsui Kyōraku simplified the situation as much as possible, summarizing the dire state of Soul Society in the shortest possible language.
"This is truly something new."
After hearing what Sōgo Shihoin Shunsui Kyōraku said, Sougo Shihōin's eyes lit up. He had never experienced anything like this before. The spirit of his Zanpakuto betrayed its master. This should be considered a once-in-a-millennium event.
"We're completely out of options now."
"That's why we've come here to ask Sōgo for your help in stabilizing the current situation."
Shunsui Kyōraku sighed helplessly. With Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai gone, the only person who could help them stabilize the situation was Sōgo Shihoin.
"All right!"
"In that case, I'll take charge of Soul Society for the time being!"
"I will temporarily assume the positions of Captain of the First Division and Captain -Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13."
Sōgo Shihoin slightly. In the current situation, only he could control everything and turn the tide.
"Grateful!"
Shunsui Kyōraku, Retsu Unohana, Kōga Kuchiki, and the others bowed slightly after hearing Sōgo Shihoin's words, expressing their deep gratitude for his Sōgo Shihoin to come out and help.
"It's alright... It won't be anything beyond my duties. Besides, I'd like to see if that guy who can materialize Zanpakuto spirits can also let my spirit out for a bit..."
"Ha ha ha ha..."
Sōgo Shihoin burst into laughter, looking as if he had discovered something new.
On the other side...
Just as the Soul Reaper of Soul Society were busy with their tasks, the Demon Sword Muramasa, which was coveted by countless Soul Reaper and sought to be slain, had arrived in the World of the Living.
What brings you here?
The man in black robes floated beside Muramasa, his eyes filled with incomprehension.
"There are people in this World of the Living who can be our helpers."
Muramasa was flipping through a small notebook and answering the man in black robes' questions.
"Who?"
The man in black robes asked, somewhat puzzled.
" Isshin Kurosaki and Ichigo Kurosaki!"
Muramasa put away the notebook in his hand. He had already decided on his target: the father and son, Isshin Kurosaki and Ichigo Kurosaki.
Are they strong?
The man in black robes was puzzled. He didn't understand why they would travel so far for just two people.
"Very strong!"
"As far as I know, both Ichigo Kurosaki and Isshin Kurosaki are descendants of the Shiba Clan."
" The Shiba Clan has no weak Zanpakuto."
"Those two people can be a help to us."
Muramasa certain and convinced that the Zanpakuto of the Kurosaki father and son could help them fight against Sōgo Shihoin.
"Alright! I'll wait and see."
The man in black robes nodded slightly, indicating that he was looking forward to seeing what kind of surprise the two people, who had been praised to the skies by Muramasa, could bring him.
"Hey! You two..."
"You just swagger onto my roof like this, aren't you being a little Isshin Kurosaki?"
Just as the man in black robes was chatting with Muramasa, an extremely powerful aura suddenly erupted behind Muramasa.
"Um?!"
The man in black robes sensed the aura behind him and felt a shock. The powerful force emanating from the person before him was among the best in their Wandenreich, even... The man in black robes felt a sense of crisis. This seemingly ordinary Soul Reaper possessed a powerful weapon that could threaten him, or even kill him! Extremely dangerous!
"The first one!!"
Just as the man in black realized that Isshin Kurosaki was unable to leave the ground and subconsciously retreated, Muramasa extended his slender fingers and activated his hypnotic technique.
In an instant, a man with fiery red hair, a muscular build, and an aura of wildness appeared before the man in the black robe.
" Engetsu?"
Isshin Kurosaki stared at the man who had suddenly appeared in front of him, a look of disbelief flashing in his eyes.
Having achieved a spiritual connection with his Zanpakuto, Isshin Kurosaki knew perfectly well that the man who had appeared out of thin air was none other than his Zanpakuto, Engetsu!
"I'm sorry, Isshin!"
Engetsu stared expressionlessly at Isshin Kurosaki, then gently drew his Zanpakuto from his waist and swung it down in an instant.
A flash of cold light, and a huge blade mark was instantly imprinted on Isshin Kurosaki's chest...
Blood gushed out like a fountain from the knife wound on Isshin Kurosaki's chest. Isshin Kurosaki stared in disbelief at his Zanpakuto spirit as it plummeted towards the courtyard...
"Father!"
As Ichigo Kurosaki returned home from school, he saw everything before him, and anger instantly surged into his head.
" Bankai! Tiansuo· Zangetsu!"
Using the power of his Substitute Soul Reaper license Ichigo Kurosaki instantly shed his physical body and soared into the sky. Driven by rage, his rationality nearly reached its peak, and he instantly completed the Bankai of his Zanpakuto!
In an instant, Ichigo Kurosaki coat, charged towards the demon Demon Sword Muramasa with overwhelming force.
"Too fast!"
Faced with the lightning-fast Ichigo Kurosaki, the Demon Sword Muramasa couldn't react at all. Before he could even use hypnosis, Ichigo Kurosaki's sword was already in front of Muramasa.
" Getsuga Tenshō!!"
A terrifying crescent moon, black, mysterious, and powerful, took shape in mid-air, transforming into an immensely powerful slash that aimed straight for the lifeline of the Demon Sword Muramasa.
"Boom!"
The deafening sound echoed throughout the entire sky.
Ichigo Kurosaki didn't think much of it and went straight to the courtyard to check on his father's injuries.
"Father, are you alright?"
Ichigo Kurosaki picked up Isshin Kurosaki, looked at the deep, bone-revealing wound on Isshin Kurosaki's chest, frowned, and asked.
"Cough cough... It's nothing, just a minor injury."
Isshin Kurosaki lay in Ichigo's arms, coughing softly twice. The next second, the bleeding from his chest stopped at a speed visible to the naked eye and slowly began to regenerate... This was a special spell of the Shiba Clan, the kind that other Soul Reaper couldn't use.
"Damn it... who are these people?"
After hearing Isshin's words, Ichigo Kurosaki slowly breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the sky once more.
" Ichigo, listen to me, these people are not normal. They can steal the spirits of other people's Zanpakuto."
Isshin Kurosaki propped himself up on the ground and sat down, instructing Ichigo Kurosaki that he had been tricked by Engetsu due to carelessness and could not help Ichigo Kurosaki now. He could only tell Ichigo the information he knew so that Ichigo would not fall into the same trap as him.
"What?"
Ichigo Kurosaki aback. He hadn't expected these people to possess such terrifying power; it was indeed beyond his imagination.
"The second one!"
Just as Ichigo Kurosaki filled with surprise, the previously unnoticed figure in black robes appeared in the sky, single- Muramasa blocking Muramasa's Ichigo Kurosaki Getsuga Tenshō with one hand...
Meanwhile, the Demon Sword Muramasa took the opportunity to hypnotize Ichigo Kurosaki...
In the endless world of consciousness, Muramasa stared in astonishment at the two wisps of soul power before him. It was the first time he had ever discovered two wisps of soul power simultaneously emanating the power of Zanpakuto within someone else's soul.
Muramasa quickly grasped the situation and simultaneously activated his abilities against the two forces within Ichigo Kurosaki's body...
"Roll!"
The moment Muramasa activated his ability, Muramasa felt as if he had been struck on the head with a blow, and a violent dizziness washed over Muramasa.
"Forehead..."
The Demon Sword Muramasa, who had been calmly and confidently stating that everything was under control, suddenly covered his forehead, knelt down on one knee in mid-air, and stared fiercely at Ichigo Kurosaki on the ground.
"What? You failed?"
The man in black robes looked at the Demon Sword Muramasa, whose face was contorted in pain, and asked.
"No! I did it!"
Demon Sword Muramasa answered the black-robed man's question with certainty. He had indeed succeeded, but not completely. Of the two forces, only one responded to him; the other, an incomprehensibly violent force, had directly expelled him...
"Did it succeed?"
The man in black robes muttered to himself. For some reason, he suddenly felt a power that felt incredibly familiar surrounding him. The next second, a figure that shocked him appeared right before his eyes.
The figure had flowing black hair, regular features but a weathered look, and a pair of orange sunglasses perched on his nose, which made him look even more cold. He wore a black overcoat, making him look like Soul Reaper walking in the darkness of the human world.
"Ah... ah..."
The man in the black robe looked at the dark figure and suddenly felt his throat become hoarse. He wanted to say something, but it was as if his throat was locked by the Force, and he couldn't say a word. Even his breathing became extremely rapid.
Let me introduce you to Zangetsu!
"See? I wasn't lying to you, was I? Weren't you surprised?!"
Demon Sword Muramasa, clutching his head, stood up and smiled slightly at the man in black robes.
"A pleasant surprise! A real surprise!"
"This is such a fucking surprise! It almost made my heart explode and land me in the ICU!"
"So that's how it is! So this is the damn surprise?! Tuition fee! Tuition fee!"
The man in the black robe was so surprised that he felt a sharp pain in his heart.
Within the Wandenreich, Gerard Valkyrie, who was training his muscles, suddenly felt a sharp pain and was filled with confusion...
"..."
"My name is Zangetsu. Nice to meet you."
Dressed in a jet-black trench coat with a cold expression, Zangetsu walked gracefully to the side of the man in black robes, gently patted the man's shoulder, and introduced himself in a hoarse voice.
"..."
Pernida Pakaja is furious! She's on a mission when her boss's clone comes to check on her. What to do? Need help urgently...
"Was this also part of your plan, Haschwalth?!"
In her heart, Pernida once again greeted Haschwalth's parents with kind words.
