"The boundary between Hollows and Soul Reaper has long since changed since a thousand years ago!"
"The enemy is not necessarily our enemy!"
"Friends aren't necessarily our friends!"
"A powerful being, a monster!"
" Soul Reaper, Menos Grande!"
"Our root cause is all about..."
"In other words, enemies and allies share a common origin..."
Wearing an ancient Egyptian pharaoh mask, Shinji Hirako spoke softly to the person in front of him.
"Enemies and friends share the same origin..."
The woman gently opened her mouth and murmured softly.
"Yes, the souls of us Soul Reaper can be made into Zanpakuto, and Hollows can also be made into Zanpakuto!"
"Don't you find it strange that Soul Reaper and Hollows can both be made into the same thing?"
"Therefore, from the very beginning, the only true anomalies in this world were the Soul King, who possessed innate divine power."
Shinji Hirako wrote a book that allowed him to speak freely.
"..."
"Are you now allowed to study these forbidden things?"
"Is the Central 46 Chambers no longer being managed?"
The woman opened her mouth slightly, hesitant to speak, as if her words contained a hidden taboo.
"Those things like the Central 46 Chambers have disappeared!"
Shinji Hirako smiled gently.
"Elder sister, I'll say it again: this isn't something that happened a thousand years ago; it's a thousand years in the future!"
"Things have changed; times have changed!"
Shinji Hirako continued his narration.
"The era of Central 46 Chambers is over!?"
"It's all over..."
"That means it's all over..."
The woman's eyes widened in disbelief.
"A monster has emerged from among us, single-handedly subduing an entire era!"
"This era is over..."
Shinji Hirako shook his head. He looked up at the massive mountain peak of the Second Division, where a monster lived—a terrifying monster, a monster powerful enough to subdue an entire era.
Soul Reaper, Hollows, Quincy —no matter who it is, even the Soul King or Yhwach, they all have to temporarily avoid its sharp edge and dare not confront it directly!
This is power, this is the feeling of being intimidated!
"A monster!? Stronger than Yachiru Unohana? Stronger than Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai?"
The woman's eyes widened in disbelief.
" Captain Unohana and Captain-Commander Yamamoto are not on the same level as him!"
"That's an existence that has surpassed even us, the Soul Reaper!"
" Captain Retsu Unohana Captain-Commander Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai are indeed stronger than us, but..."
"At best, it's still only at the level of the Soul Reaper..."
"But that person has completely transcended our existence, transcended Soul Reaper, and stood in the heavens as a true god!"
Shinji Hirako continued their conversation.
"Aren't you going to stop my companions!?"
"They went to attack your comrades..."
"There might be casualties next."
The woman seemed to be in a good mood as she reminded Shinji Hirako.
"Hahaha..."
"No need, absolutely no need!"
"They're much stronger than me; it's best if someone of my level doesn't try to help."
Shinji Hirako laughed loudly, then smiled modestly and slowly shook his head; in his eyes, his level was nothing at all.
"Really...?"
The woman's eyes widened. She hadn't expected that this man, who already posed such a formidable challenge to her, was actually not even considered a prominent figure in this era. If that were truly the case, then his companions were indeed in danger.
On the other side...
"This road is blocked..."
Kuruyashiki Kenpachi, wearing a Horus mask, frowned and stopped the group.
"Hey, hey, hey..."
The captains' eyes flickered slightly as they looked at Horus, who exuded an extremely oppressive aura.
First of all, they had never seen a human wearing Menos Grande Mask.
Secondly, they had never felt such powerful and terrifying Spiritual Pressure before...
"These people are mine now?"
Just as Kuruyashiki Kenpachi was about to make his move, a disheveled, monstrous figure approached. It was Kenpachi Zaraki.
" Kenpachi Zaraki..."
Kuruyashiki Kenpachi's eyes flickered as he looked at Kenpachi Zaraki. Although he considered himself strong, he honestly admitted that he was no match for Kenpachi Zaraki.
"Hey! You guys..."
"Fight me!"
"I don't care how you attack, I don't care what you do, you are no match for me!"
"As long as you can fight me and please me, that's all that matters!"
Kenpachi Zaraki, carrying his Zanpakuto, stood before the group.
"This guy..."
The crowd stared at Kenpachi Zaraki, their eyes Kenpachi Zaraki in shock. The oppressive aura emanating from him was overwhelming; they had never seen anyone like him before—powerful and terrifying.
"Hey! Don't steal our resources!"
"These guys clearly want to hunt us Menos Grande!"
"So leave these things to us!"
Lilynette suddenly appeared, and although Kenpachi Zaraki was very powerful, she was still unconvinced.
It's like someone could kill me, but I still won't accept it...
"Hey, hey, hey..."
"Could we split this up? There are so many people here!"
"If there are seven people, then seven people can go."
Aura Michibane originally didn't intend to get involved, but she felt it wouldn't be right not to participate; she absolutely couldn't let others steal all the credit!
In an instant, a terrifying sense of oppression!
It gave the seven original squad captains an unprecedented feeling.
"A thousand years..."
Has the enemy become this powerful?
The original seven squad captains trembled as they looked at the oppressive figures before them.
Have these people transcended Soul Reaper?
The thought couldn't help but cross their minds...
"Isn't that woman Soul Reaper or a Hollow?"
The presence of Aura Michibane instilled a profound sense of oppression in the seven original squad captains.
It was neither Soul Reaper nor a Hollow, yet its power surpassed that of the Soul Reaper and was superior to all the other Menos Grande they had ever seen.
The powerful figures of a thousand years ago are not on the same level as those of a thousand years later...
The powerful figures of a thousand years ago were formidable, but they pale in comparison to those of a thousand years later.
You guys are so noisy!
"Let's have a contest! Let's see who can cut someone down first!"
"The one who cuts first is the winner!"
Kenpachi Zaraki Zanpakuto and roared, believing that there was no need to share; whoever struck someone got to keep them.
"If that's the case, then it's fair..."
"In that case, let's see who's faster."
Lilynette drew her gun, still in its Resurrección state.
"Let's go then!"
Everyone agreed, and the next second, they all unleashed their abilities simultaneously.
Lilynette, wielding dual pistols, unleashed Cero in an instant!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
With a wave of her hand, Lilynette unleashed a series of Cero.
"That's Cero!?"
The team captains' eyes widened.
They knew about Cero; Cero was a signature move of the Menos Grande, and Menos Grande often had to charge it up before they could unleash Cero!
But the little girl in front of them was completely beyond their comprehension...
Cero ripped through the sky! Those beams of light were all Cero Menos Grande needed to charge up before they could unleash.
" Hadō #99: Goryū Tenmetsu!"
Aura Michibane unleashed a burst of Spiritual Pressure, immediately unleashing his strongest secret technique. With Hadō of his hand, his strongest Hadō, Hadō #99, ripped through the sky. A gigantic dragon roared, tearing through the sky, its jaws wide open, and devoured the captains!
Aura Michibane was extremely greedy; she attacked everyone in one fell swoop! Yes Aura Michibane's initial plan was to eliminate everyone.
From the very beginning until now, Aura Michibane's goal has been to eliminate everyone; all their achievements are hers!
Quincy, Soul Reaper, Menos Grande...
Haha, Fullbring is the most powerful!
"The most powerful thing is the Quincy!"
Suddenly, the Quincy Quincy, each wielding a massive bow, and instantly, countless beams of light tore through the sky.
Those are lightsabers!
When the powers of the Quincy, Soul Reaper, and Menos Grande merged, the terrifying force instantly destroyed everything!
"Disappear!"
Red steam billowed from Kenpachi Zaraki's body! Terrifying Spiritual Pressure tore everything apart!
The soaring Spiritual Pressure shattered the clouds in the sky!
Kenpachi Zaraki sprouted demon horns on his forehead. He gripped a sharp blade, and although the massive blade in his hand was broken, it could still cut through anything!
"Boom!"
In an instant, the enormous blade tore through the sky and the earth, and the massive sword energy destroyed everything in front of him!
Then...
Then it turned into a chaotic battle!
Soul Reaper, Hollows, Quincy began a chaotic battle.
The battle completely descended into chaos...
The entire Seireitei, no, to be precise, the entire Soul Society, is collapsing...
Just as the Soul Society was in chaos, a Senkaimon suddenly opened...
A bald man slowly walked out.
"..."
"Hahaha..."
"So where is this place!? The Sasakibe!"
The bald man was none other than Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai. He felt the overwhelming pressure, his eyes tightly shut. He knew nothing of this chaotic mess. The Soul Society he desired—no, to be precise, the Soul Society he knew—wasn't like this. He remembered that world: beautiful, with perfect architecture...
But what is all of this now!?
" Genryūsai, this is the Soul Society!"
Chōjirō Sasakibe nodded Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai and asked.
"No! Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
" The Soul Society I know, my Soul Society, how did it become like this!?"
"I remember... there was a tower there before I left!"
"But where the hell is the tower now?"
Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai asked angrily.
"It was probably destroyed by Cero, right?"
Chōjirō Sasakibe looked at the destroyed tower and opened his mouth.
"Oh! Destroyed by Cero..."
"Where!?"
"I remember there was a lake there!"
Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai then pointed to the other side.
That lake...
"It should have been destroyed by the Hadō #99: Goryū Tenmetsu!"
Chōjirō Sasakibe looked at the lake and spoke softly...
"Oh! Hadō #99..."
"What about the mountains over there!?"
Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai continued to inquire.
"Oh! Where is it! That's Byakuya Kuchiki's Bankai!"
"It was definitely destroyed by Senbonzakura..."
Chōjirō Sasakibe smiled slightly and spoke while looking at the mountain peaks.
"The world has been destroyed..."
"This era has changed!"
"A bunch of little brats!"
"Come on! Let's have some fun!"
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto spoke, he drew his Zanpakuto from his waist.
" Bankai: Zanka no Tachi!"
In an instant, it seemed as if the sky and earth were about to be destroyed, the temperature soared, and the entire Soul Society was burning—flames, a blazing sun!
It seemed as if heaven and earth were about to be destroyed...
"This Spiritual Pressure..."
After Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai's Bankai, the world fell silent, and everyone stood still, beads of sweat dripping from their foreheads.
"That man is back..."
Everyone knew that the number one Soul Reaper in Soul Society, Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai, had returned.
"You little brats!"
"And my friends from a thousand years ago!"
"What the hell are you doing?!"
Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai's eyes blazed with fire, the temperature around him continued to rise, water was disappearing, and his soul was evaporating!
"..."
Everyone's eyes flickered as they looked at Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai.
"This Spiritual Pressure..."
"This powerful force!"
"Oh my god..."
As everyone looked at Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai, they realized the gap in strength between themselves and Yamamoto when they faced Yamamoto directly.
Powerful! Monster! Terrifying!
"What are you all doing?!"
Yamamoto inquired.
"You're destroying my world!"
"So..."
Are you ready to be taught a lesson?
Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai. The moment he Batto Sword Drawing, everything was already destined. Terrifying Spiritual Pressure erupted, and heaven and earth were ablaze!
" Yamamoto..."
Kenpachi Zaraki stared at Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai with eyes filled with boundless fighting spirit.
" The Roar! Power! Formidable strength!"
"Now that the ultimate warrior has entered, our battle will begin."
Aura Michibane's eyes flickered as he looked at Kenpachi Zaraki and Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto.
" Yamamoto..."
The seven original squad captains looked at Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai.
"Powerful..."
"The First Soul Reaper..."
"We're retreating!"
Seeing the oppressive aura emanating from Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai, the Quincy chose to retreat!
"Kids! If you want to fight, then come on!"
"I've always been here! Come and fight me!"
Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai's eyes were sharp, and he held a sharp blade in his hand; the world seemed to be distorting.
"..."
For a moment, everyone except Kenpachi Zaraki fell silent, beads of cold sweat trickling down their foreheads.
"Come on, Yamamoto..."
Kenpachi Zaraki, blade in hand, approached Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai.
For a moment, the enemy seemed to stop fighting. Everyone calmed down and focused their attention on Kenpachi Zaraki and Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai. This would be the final battle to determine the strongest fighter...
"Ha!?"
Sōgo Shihoin aback.
"Am I not the strongest fighter?"
Sōgo Shihoin, sighing.
