Bleach: No cheat codes, he joined Aizen's side.

Chapter 106, page 105. Is it over? No, it's just warmed up! Double Bankai! (4k)

"That's an amazing ability."

On the street, which had been so badly damaged that it was unrecognizable, Kusajika Yachiru looked up at Higashino Shuichi, who seemed to have become a completely different person, and said in admiration.

In the distance, Kuchiki Ginryu stood in the air, her Zanpakuto, which resembled a scepter and had a pendant hanging from its top, already unleashed.

A gentle breeze gradually extended from the Kuchiki Ginryu Zanpakuto to Higashino Shuichi, softly enveloping him.

Then, it subtly influences Higashino Shuichi's perception, gradually making him lower his guard and slowly become engrossed in what he is doing, forgetting everything around him.

Enjoy, relax, until death.

If it weren't for the fact that Higashino Shuichi's Bankai ability is passively activated, Kuchiki Ginrin would have already taken action instead of letting Zaraki Kenpachi slowly grind Higashino Shuichi to death.

Fortunately, things are progressing very smoothly now, although at one point it was seen that Higashino Shuichi seemed to have briefly broken free from some control through his own willpower.

However, it was too late. Higashino Shuichi failed to grasp the crux of the problem and quickly returned to the state of being chased and slashed by Zaraki Kenpachi.

"Although I must admit that your spiritual pressure is somewhat beyond my original expectations, and your combat power seems to have even surpassed most of the captains, it is a pity that you have already embarked on a wrong path, Higashino Shuichi."

Death, and hell, is your destined destination.

Kuchiki Ginryu said softly without a trace of regret.

As the head of the Kuchiki family, one of the five noble families, Kuchiki Ginryu naturally knew about Hell and that Shinigami with spiritual pressure at Higashino Shuichi's current level would most likely go to Hell after death.

There is a possibility that it could transform into spirit particles and return to Soul Society, but the probability is low.

However, at that moment, he suddenly sensed something was amiss.

Hado #4, Wind and White Lightning!

An unseen attack pierced his abdomen, and the resulting paralysis prevented him from using Instant Step for a moment.

This also means that he simply cannot dodge the next attack, number 88, Fire Dragon Strike Thunder Cannon, or Rotten Wood Silver Bell.

You can only take it head-on!

A huge explosion resounded through the air.

Kuchiki Ginryu stared wide-eyed ahead. There, Higashino Shuichi, though not in much better shape, was covered in blood, panting heavily. His spiritual pressure was unstable due to his rapidly weakening strength, and faintly, one could hear Hollows roaring from beneath his mask.

However, the reason why Higashino Shuichi is in such a sorry state is because he has released his Bankai.

"You gave up Bankai just to use Shikai to break the deadlock? I truly underestimated your wisdom and courage, Higashino Shuichi."

Upon seeing the Zanpakuto in Higashino Shuichi's hand in its Shikai form, Kuchiki Ginrin, who was already well aware of Higashino Shuichi's Shikai abilities, immediately understood what Higashino Shuichi had done.

He uses the vision of the spirit beings created by his own Zanpakuto ability to break through the cognitive dilemma created by his Zanpakuto ability.

Because Kuchiki Ginrin's Zanpakuto Shikai ability, Kiyokaze, essentially only alters Higashino Shuichi's subconscious, causing him to unconsciously ignore things that already exist, rather than actually changing Higashino Shuichi's memories.

Therefore, the images transmitted to Higashino Shuichi's mind through the vision of the Spirit Person will not be ignored in a short period of time due to Higashino Shuichi's subconscious modifications.

However, this approach is not difficult to describe, but to actually think of it in battle and decisively release one's own Bankai at the cost of being severely injured or even killed by Kenpachi Zaraki, in exchange for a Shikai that may not be the correct solution.

Based on this alone, Kuchiki Ginryu felt that Higashino Shuichi was an excellent and charismatic Grim Reaper.

Unfortunately, they are now their enemies.

"What's wrong? Shuichi, can't you maintain your Bankai?"
Not enough!

Give me a new Bankai right now!
I was just getting excited!

Kenpachi Zaraki watched as Shuichi Higashino reverted his Zanpakuto to its Shikai state and shouted in great dissatisfaction.

However, his actions showed no sign of dissatisfaction. He didn't even wait for Higashino Shuichi to re-open his Bankai before enthusiastically swinging his sword at Higashino Shuichi.

Hmph, yet another hypocrite.

And Higashino Shuichi finally saw his current situation clearly through the Spirit Human's perspective.

Although he still didn't understand what had happened to him, seeing Kuchiki Ginrin's Zanpakuto, which had already completed its Shikai, he could roughly guess that he had been affected by an illusion-type ability similar to Kyoka Suigetsu.

This ability is not common among the Zanpakuto of the Soul Society's Shinigami, but it is by no means unique to Aizen.

At least the Zanpakuto ability of Hirako Shinji, the former captain of the Fifth Division, was also an illusion type, and in some ways, its effect was even more overpowered than Aizen's Kyoka Suigetsu.

"This ability isn't very lethal, but it's really disgusting."

Higashino Shuichi thought to himself silently.

He had unwittingly fallen into the trap set by the rotten wood and silver bell.

No wonder he had been a vice-captain in Soul Society for so long and had never heard of Kuchiki Ginryu's Zanpakuto release ability.

This ability is indeed not suitable to be exposed.

However, he already knows about it.

Compared to Aizen's Kyoka Suigetsu, Kuchiki Ginrin's ability is clearly much less comprehensive.

Furthermore, the abilities of Shuichi Higashino's Zanpakuto are a perfect counter to it.

All we need to do is let the Spirit Person continue to be his eyes.

Furthermore, the Bankai of a Zanpakuto only prevents the use of its Shikai ability; it has no restrictions on things created through Shikai.

"Then, Kenpachi Zaraki, as you wish, the origins of military strategy, Bankai, self-inflicted injury!"

As Higashino Shuichi watched Kenpachi Zaraki rush towards him, the immense spiritual pressure within him was released once more.

"Hahaha, good, good! This is the kind of person I've been looking for!"
Come again! "

Faced with Higashino Shuichi's completely renewed aura, Kenpachi Zaraki was not surprised but delighted.

I was worried that Kuchiki Ginrin's intrusion might cause Higashino Shuichi to be quickly defeated, depriving him of a worthwhile battle for no reason.

Now it seems there's absolutely nothing to worry about!

However, unlike Kenpachi Zaraki, a single-minded Shinigami whose mind is only focused on battle, Ginryu Kuchiki, who was being ambushed by two Spirit Particles from afar and continuously harassed by Shuichi Higashino using Kido, had a bad feeling when she heard Higashino's completely unfamiliar release phrase.

Moreover, generally speaking, if you have a bad feeling during a battle, it means that it is not a premonition.

The spiritual pressure gathered, and even the slightest leak of spiritual pressure created a large crater in the ground.

Higashino Shuichi watched as Kenpachi Zaraki approached, brandishing his sword.

A knife was swung out.

Slay him!

The sword strikes were sometimes fast, sometimes slow, and the whole world seemed to stand still for that moment.

Silence fell, and after a moment the sound of countless houses collapsing in the distance could be heard.

When I looked at Kenpachi Zaraki again, his body had been almost cut in two, and he was holding on only because of his tenacious vitality and willpower.

He is still alive.

But death is not far off.

At this moment, with just a flick of his wrist, Higashino Shuichi could unleash a single white lightning bolt, and Kenpachi Zaraki might be dead right here. He would pay the price for his foolish act of suppressing his true strength for centuries.

Unfortunately, even Higashino Shuichi couldn't do it.

Because of the distant decaying wood and silver bell. The swastika was released.

"A shining spirit, always with me, Bankai, Kamikaze!"

A tangible black gale swirled around the rotten wood and silver bell.

Just a glance from afar is enough to make one feel an immense sense of oppression.

The spirit beings who had been responsible for besieging Kuchiki Ginryu were simply touched by the black gale around Kuchiki Ginryu and were no longer under Higashino Shuichi's control. They knelt down, trembling all over, and then disappeared.

But this was not the direct reason why Higashino Shuichi stopped finishing off Kenpachi Zaraki. The mere Bankai of Kuchiki Ginrin was not enough to make Higashino Shuichi stop.

"I heard that Shuichi-kun, you were once a kind person who treated your subordinates gently, dreamed of becoming a captain, and protected the other Shinigami. Have you forgotten your past after becoming a Hollow?"

Because this silver-haired man stood silently between Higashino Shuichi and Zaraki Kenpachi.

"Captain Ukitake, I have never forgotten you for a moment, but now, it is Central 46 that has denied my existence!"

Higashino Shuichi looked at the captain of the 13th Division, who was wearing a captain's haori and looked very weak. Higashino Shuichi had met him once before and a pained expression appeared on his face.

"There's still a chance, Shuichi Higashino. They just thought that all the Hollowfied Shinigami would completely lose their minds like those people in the past and eventually become Hollows through and through.

But you're different. You have reason, and that alone is enough.

Jushiro Ukitake advised.

Having suffered from illness since childhood, and even after receiving the Soul King's right arm from the great god Mimihagi, this situation did not change in the slightest. He was extremely unwilling to see such a tragedy of death gods killing each other.

"Do you think it's possible, Captain Ukitake?"

Unfortunately, Higashino Shuichi's words directly shattered Ukitake Jushiro's illusions about the Central 46 Chambers.

silence.

Faced with Higashino Shuichi's question, Ukitake Jushiro didn't know how to refute it.

Is it possible that Higashino Shuichi's request will be fulfilled?

At least for now, it's simply impossible.

Jushiro Ukitake himself was well aware of this.

Meanwhile, from another direction, the late-arriving First Division Vice-Captain, Chojiro Sasakibe, also arrived at the battlefield.

"Higashino Shuichi, you have nowhere to run. Surrender now!"

With his Zanpakuto in hand, Chojiro Sasakibe addressed Higashino Shuichi with righteous indignation.

"Heh!" Higashino Hideichi laughed, using such familiar rhetoric, "If you want me to surrender, fine, but you can either defeat me or kill me. Today, I'm only giving you these two choices."

"Stubborn and arrogant brat."

Perhaps she finally couldn't bear to watch anymore, or perhaps she sensed that Higashino Shuichi had relaxed his guard a little.

Kuchiki Ginrin used Shunpo to dash in front of Higashino Shuichi.

A black gale swept in, accompanied by the howling of the Zanpakuto.

Higashino Shuichi, however, was prepared and parried with a single strike.

It was not easily stopped.

However, when Higashino Shuichi tried to retaliate, he found that his right hand, which was holding the knife, was trembling uncontrollably.

It was heavy, like a mountain pressing down on it.

Without a doubt, this is another troublesome ability from Kuchiki Ginrin.

"Sixty-one of the Dao of Binding, the Six-Stand Light Prison!"

Higashino Shuichi attempted to use Kido to restrict Kuchiki Ginryu's movements, but all six spirit particles were blocked by the black wind surrounding Kuchiki Ginryu.

During the brief moment when Higashino Shuichi unleashed his Kido, Kuchiki Ginryu's Zanpakuto reached in front of him.

"Bury yourself in the abyss, Yu Yu Shen Feng!"

A black wind enveloped Higashino Shuichi, and boundless fear and pressure surged towards him from all directions.

My body felt heavy and my thoughts became sluggish.

It fell from the sky.

"Is this the ethereal transformation that comes after maintaining rationality?"

Jushiro Ukitake looked at Shuichi Higashino falling from mid-air, then at the Seireitei streets that were no longer intact, and at Soi Fon, the third seat of the second division, who had almost died before he arrived, and Kenpachi Zaraki, the captain of the eleventh division.

It is truly remarkable that Higashino Shuichi has achieved such results as a mere vice-captain.

"If he hadn't been Hollowfied, Soul Society would have had one more kind-hearted Shinigami captain, right?"

Jushiro Ukitake was filled with regret.

After dealing with the problem of Higashino Shuichi, all that remained were Urahara Kisuke, the former captain of the 12th Division; Kishinaki Tessai, the former great kendo master; and Shihouin Yoruichi, the captain of the 2nd Division who helped them escape.

Jushiro Ukitake remembered that figure, the woman who usually liked to transform into a cat and wander around Soul Society.

She has a pretty good relationship with both him and Kyoraku Shunsui.
But now, he has to think about how to subdue her.

Kyoraku Shunsui must be having the same headache as him right now, right?

Ukitake Jushiro thought to himself.

Knowing full well the Bankai ability of Kuchiki Ginryu, he knew that it was the first encounter kill.

It was truly remarkable that Higashino Shuichi was able to use his Shikai ability to break free from control.

But facing Kuchiki Ginryu's Bankai.
At least so far, Jushiro Ukitake has never seen a Shinigami or Hollow escape from that abyss of despair.

Just as Jushiro Ukitake turned around, preparing to personally treat Kenpachi Zaraki behind him, and the First Division Vice-Captain Chojiro Sasakibe was about to finish him off, a few words were clearly uttered from the black gust of wind that fell to the ground.

"Bankai: Tree Blossoms!"

At the same time, far away in Hell, where he was engaged in a fierce battle with those ancient Hollows, Ikeda Yukisa felt a tremor in his soul.

This time, the unease did not come from the divine mark on his body, but it brought Ikeda Yukisa even greater anger.

"You little devil, you've gone too far! Are you trying to fleece me?!"

Before Ikeda Yukisa could finish speaking, the Zanpakuto in his hand had already disappeared.

In Soul Society, on Higashino Shuichi's body, the ghostly figures from hell howled, screamed, and went mad, clinging to him. Even the black gale exerted by Kuchiki Ginryu's Zanpakuto could not erode them by a fraction.

Immediately afterward, under the shocked or excited gazes of Kuchiki Ginrin, Sasakibe Chojiro, Ukitake Jushiro, Kusajishi Yachiru, and Zaraki Kenpachi, who had just barely regained some consciousness, Higashino Shuichi stood up from the ground.

"The screams of hell, the burning of sins, the endless pain, the endless fate, the double swastika, and the haunting of evil spirits!"
