Death: No cheats, take refuge in Aizen

"What is that?"

In the ruins, a newly rescued god of death looked up at the sky, and asked with a trembling finger at the broken sky.

"Isn't that Lan?"

The god of death who saved him was about to answer, but stopped halfway.

His body froze in place.

Because there was a huge gap in the dim sky. It was not the sun, and it was night now.

It was not the moon either, and the moon was just blocked by clouds in another direction.

It was a terrifying, huge body that exuded a rotten smell.

The body that had lost its limbs and head, who was hanging it high in the air, even broke a huge hole in the sky.

"Is this the means you use to maintain the operation of the three realms?"

Standing in the sky, Aizen, even though he was exhausted, still stood upright, looking at the distant hole with a firm gaze.

That was the body of the Spirit King.

In the Great Spirit Book Corridor, there was also Higashino Hideichi, who had told him this story.

Even Higashino Hideichi secretly sent Yushi Oshu to take over part of the former Tsunayashiro family's legacy to continue researching a substitute for the Soul King's body.

Such behavior is undoubtedly stupid.

At least that's what Aizen thinks.

How is it different from a child's play to entrust the survival of the world to a long-dead corpse?

Can the dignified Soul King only think of such a stupid solution?

Aizen sneered.

At first he couldn't believe that such a Soul King would come up with such a childlike solution.

But now when he saw this reality, he knew that he had overestimated the Soul King.

The latter is just a fool who happened to have great power.

"Aizen!"

Below, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni held a knife in the surrounding sea of ​​fire and glared at Aizen. He slashed and a fire dragon flew out, and the whistling flames attacked Aizen directly.

Maybe he had seen higher mountains.

Aizen was not interested in Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni at this time.

This man, who was once a threat to him.

Under the corrupt system of Soul Society, he can only stick to his strongest spiritual pressure under the rules and remain complacent.

And for Aizen now, such spiritual pressure can blow away the flames with a wave of his hand and a black wind of spiritual particles.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni looked at the scene in disbelief.

It was obvious that not long ago, Aizen had a hard time dealing with his attack.

Why was Aizen so relaxed after such a short time?

And he looked exhausted after a fierce battle.

Even so, could he break up his attack so neatly?

What kind of horrible improvement did the Hogyoku that Aizen took out of Nemu bring to Aizen? !

"Give up your meaningless struggle, old man. You now, including all the Shinigami in the entire Soul Society, are no match for me.

The only monk who had a chance to fight with me seems to have fallen with the fall of the Soul King Palace.

I said it before, I will stand tall above the heavens!"

Aizen did not launch a counterattack against Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

Because there is no need.

He is no longer in the same realm as the old-fashioned Shinigami like Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

Ants can test gods out of ignorance, but gods cannot trample ants to death for revenge, the latter will only show the narrow-mindedness and incompetence of gods.

"Bankai, Zankadachi!"

But obviously, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni is not the kind of Shinigami who is willing to accept the mercy of the enemy.

He is the strongest Shinigami in the Soul Society for a thousand years. He is the captain of the 13th Division of the Gotei. Behind him, he guards countless Shinigami in the entire Soul Society and the nobles who symbolize the order of the Soul Society.

He can't lose, and he can't retreat.

"Zanka no Tachi - East - Rising Sun Blade!"

Concentrate all the heat of the flame of Ryujin Jakka on the tip of the blade, without burning or emitting explosive flames, but will wipe out everything it touches without a trace. This is the first style after Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's Bankai.

He rushed to the sky at a very fast speed, and the tip of the blade pointed at the center of Aizen's eyebrows.

"Extremely boring!"

But Aizen just stretched out two fingers and clamped them in front of him, and then clamped Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's powerful blade. The tip of the blade, which gathered endless high temperature, was as obedient as a child between Aizen's fingers.

Is Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's blade not strong enough?

No, on the contrary, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's blade basically represents the peak of traditional death gods.

In the original work, even the peak Yhwach, using the Static Blood Suit, could not resist Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's blade.

He just lost to the spiritual pressure.

In the internal battle rules of the Shinigami where spiritual pressure is everything, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, who is bound by the upper limit of spiritual pressure, is completely impossible to be the opponent of Aizen, who has broken this limit because of the Hogyoku.

In this comparison of spiritual pressure levels, the two sides are no longer on the same level.

To defeat such Aizen, in the original work, the Shinigami who also has spiritual pressure close to the peak of traditional Shinigami, uses the most simple double attack, relying on this tricky method to break the constraints of the rules on them.

It is a pity that such a god of death has not been born yet, and may not be born in the future.

"Zanka no Tachi·West-Zanhi Prison Clothes!"

But Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni did not give up. Even though he saw the huge gap between him and Aizen now, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni knew that as the captain of the Gotei 13, he must not show the slightest fear in front of so many confused god of death below.

He knew that if he took a step back, the god of death standing behind him would fall into the abyss ruled by Aizen.

He turned his spiritual pressure into a 15 million degree flame, like a scorching sun, covering his body and blade.

If the enemy approached him without any defense, he would be turned into ashes in an instant.

In this state, he fought Aizen in close combat.

Is there hope?

"It looks like Captain Yamamoto can't hold on for much longer. Ahem."

In the ruins, Yushiro Oxu, who had not yet fully recovered from the previous battle, barely resisted the fragments that fell from the sky, and said to Sayaka Kabutoma beside him while coughing up blood.

The latter responded worriedly in a light curtain,

"Yeah, I don't know if this is also in Shuichi's plan."

Having said that, Sayaka Kabutoma basically had the answer in her heart.

Probably not.

As Shuichi Higashino's bedmate, Sayaka Kabutoma knew Shuichi Higashino's character very well. The latter would not do something that almost destroyed the entire Soul Society.

God knows how many Shinigami and civilians will die in the entire Soul Society after this skyfall.

So Kabuma Sayako turned to look at the Zaraki Futaba who was holding up the light curtain for her.

"Sir, can you please find a way to contact Shuichi-kun?

I think he needs to know the situation here."

Zaraki Futaba hesitated for a moment, but heard Yushi Ouxu not far away loudly assuring him,

"Don't worry, I have notified Shuji and asked him to come back quickly.

With Shuji and I here, it is absolutely impossible for Sayako-sama to get into trouble!"

Well, since there is a guarantee from Higashino Shuichi, a loyal disciple, Zaraki Futaba felt that even if he left for a while, there should be no big problem.

Besides, he didn't look like a Shinigami who would kill all the Shinigami in the Soul Society.

"I'll be back soon!"

Zaraki Futaba nodded to Kabuma Sayako, and then turned and left.

At this moment, the flames in the sky went out.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was hit by Aizen's palm.

This palm almost shattered his entire body and spiritual pressure.

The flame that was enough to burn everything was like nothing in front of Aizen.

"Captain!"

The second squad's vice-captain, Soi-Fong, used the flash step to come in front of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

She did not choose to catch Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, because that would damage Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's dignity, and Soi-Fong did not know whether the remaining power of the flame still existed on Yamamoto's body. Her small body was not as resistant to burning as Aizen.

Therefore, Soi-Fong just came between Yamamoto and Aizen, trying to use her body to stop Aizen from chasing Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

The flash-booming posture was activated, and the frenzied wind, mixed with countless ashes, raised a turbid curtain around Soi-Fong's body, enough to block all vision and spiritual pressure perception.

But what Soi-Fong never expected was that

Aizen did not chase;

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni also let her leave.

"Suifeng, I order you to find the head of the Shifeng family, Shifeng Yushiro Sakimune, and ask him to open the door to the hell for you. Go there, find Higashino Hideichi, and tell him everything that happened here!"

Suifeng was shocked to hear what the captain said to her, and answered intermittently,

"But the captain, what can you do if you tell all this to Master Hideichi? He is still bound in the hell."

"So you have to get the key from Shifeng Yushiro Sakimune to remove Higashino Hideichi!"

Suifeng was dumbfounded when she heard this.

Is this really what the captain would say?

She always thought that only death gods like Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro could make such a bold decision.

Captain Yamamoto, who always abides by the rules, obeys the rules, and accepts the rule of the nobles, should never make such a decision that violates the rules.

But how could she know that Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni owed Higashino Hideichi a life.

Although in the eyes of Zaraki Fuuya and Higashino Hideichi, on the day when the Tsunayashiro family was destroyed, Zaraki Fuuya used his promise to exchange for Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's life.

But in the eyes of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

Even if Zaraki Fuuya was added at that time, they could not be the opponent of Higashino Hideichi in that state.

But Higashino Hideichi still chose to let him go, that is, he owed Higashino Hideichi a life.

And after that, Higashino Hideichi also fulfilled his "wish" and willingly accepted the punishment.

In public and private, he deserves this decision now.

Even more worthy of the current Soul Society.

After all, apart from Higashino Hideichi, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni could not think of any other death god in the entire Soul Society who could stop Aizen Sosuke.

Not to mention that in the present world, when the group of Shinigami in Soul Society were still kept in the dark, the former Yhwach had already returned with a group of Quincies.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni believed in the judgment made by his former disciple with his life.

"Please release Higashino Hideichi from the seal, teacher!"

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni seemed to see Ukitake Jushiro and Kyoraku Shunsui kneeling in front of him with blood all over their bodies, making their last plea to him.

As for now

After Soi-Fong accepted the order and left without asking any more questions, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni staggered to his feet.

Although his body was almost crippled, his will was not.

"Let me stand guard for the last time for this Soul Society.

Zankadachi·South-Fire Fire Ten Trillion Deaths Great Burial Formation!"

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni inserted the blade of the Zankadachi into the ground. The high temperature of the Zanpakutō awakened the ashes of the dead who had died under Yamamoto's sword in the past, turning them into a charred army of skeletons that appeared one after another on this broken land.

Roaring, angry, and crazy, these skeleton armies, carrying the anger of the people in front of them towards Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, launched their fearless charge towards Aizen in the sky!

Round after round of attacks, these dead souls accumulated by Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni for thousands of years died one after another under Aizen's counterattack.

Aizen was like a child who found a new toy, watching these skeletons emerge from the ground one after another with great interest.

He wanted to see if this so-called Ten Trillion Death Burial Formation really had ten trillion skeletons.

The result disappointed Aizen a little, the number of these skeletons did not even reach ten billion.

"That's exaggerated, Yamamoto!"

Even if it was to kill ten billion pigs, it would take a lot of time, not to mention ten billion skeletons that inherited a lot of strength from their previous lives.

I don't know how much time has passed, anyway, the sky has been dark.

But Aizen recovered a lot of his fatigue in the process.

On the other hand, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was in a critical state because of maintaining this formation.

His already broken body seemed a little reluctant to even maintain his standing posture at this time.

Yamamoto raised his head, his eyes full of determination and resoluteness.

What he used to respond to Aizen was his last swan song.

It was a trick that released a slash at a very fast speed from a very long distance, and everything touched by the slash was turned into ashes.

If it was used in Yamamoto's heyday, he would still have some spare strength afterwards.

But in Yamamoto's current state, there is no need for Aizen to do it himself. His body will collapse first in this slash because he cannot bear the pressure from the feedback.

Yamamoto himself is very clear about this.

But he must do this. He must let Aizen see his determination, and let other Shinigami see his determination!

He wants all Shinigami to understand one thing.

That is, Shinigami are not so easily defeated by a guy like Aizen!

"Zanka no Tachi·North-Heaven and Earth Ashes!"

On Yamamoto's body, an extremely terrifying spiritual pressure suddenly erupted, accompanied by the scorching slash that penetrated the sky and the earth.

Every slash destroyed the world.

Every slash took away part of Yamamoto's body.

Until the end, the sky and the earth were clear, and the thick clouds were cut into a gap by Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni in this terrifying slash.

Above the clouds, it was already dawn.

The sun shone through the gap and shone on Yamamoto's body.

A Zanpakutō that had degenerated into a shallow sword fell to the ground, and next to it was a skeleton that was no longer in human form.

A little flame could still be seen burning tenaciously on it.

It seemed to be trying to continue the unyielding will of its owner.

Silence and solemnity.

An unprecedented heavy emotion weighed on the hearts of all the Shinigami in Soul Society at this moment. (End of this chapter)
