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

Chapter 294, Section 292: I can take down Kabuto Takuya!

A large number of ants can kill an elephant.

Having more people doesn't necessarily mean you can break through a defense.

The countless demonic paths rained down on the light barrier surrounding Shuichi Higashino.

It was a grand spectacle, but it only managed to create ripples on the surface.

In fact, the skill "Sacred Praise" was originally a defensive ability of Yhwach.

It's just that Higashino Hideaki took a liking to its integrated offensive and defensive characteristics and often used it as an offensive tactic.

Now, it's perfectly fine to let him perform his original job.

"What kind of ability is this?!"

"Was it because I didn't study hard enough when I was in the academy that I didn't recognize the Quincy's ability?"

"It shouldn't be, because I don't remember either."

On the periphery, the Shinigami who had tried to help Madarame Ikkaku found their Kido abilities ineffective, and their hearts grew even heavier.

"Hey, tell me, Yijiao, he wouldn't..."

"Shut up! Can you please stop saying such discouraging things at a time like this!"

"But."

Even through the light barrier surrounded by a dozen or so giant crosses, these Death Gods could still see the seemingly endless stream of holy arrows of destruction within.

They weren't actually there, but they felt as if they were there.

Just imagining that the Grim Reaper in that story is themselves is enough to send chills down their spines.

Madarame Ikkaku, a third seated soldier, probably wouldn't be able to survive an attack of this magnitude.
Almost no one would believe such a slim possibility.

But miracles often happen in such circumstances.

"Wait! Look inside!!"

A sharp-eyed grim reaper spotted it and shouted it out.

Then came the second one.

"Everyone, look!"

The third,
"The Third Seat of Madarame is still alive!!"

The fourth and fifth
In less than three seconds, all the Grim Reapers' gazes were focused on Madarame Ikkaku, who was being bombarded by endless holy arrows during the Holy Praise.

At this moment, Madarame Ichika held a huge axe-shaped blade in each of his hands and on his back, and the three blades were connected by a black iron chain.

That's not what Madarame Ikkaku's Zanpakuto looks like after its Shikai.

Absolutely not!

Every Shinigami present saw Madarame Ikkaku's Zanpakuto in its previous Shikai form.

So that's only possible.
“It’s Swastika!

Madarame, the third seat, has mastered Bankai!

A young Grim Reaper exclaimed excitedly!
Because in his still naive understanding, Bankai meant becoming a captain.

And the captain is already the strongest fighting force in the entire Soul Society!
Without a doubt, Madarame will win!

Hope filled the eyes of this young Grim Reaper.

The same emotion almost instantly infected the surrounding Grim Reapers.

At this moment, all the eyes of death were filled with an emotion called hope.

Yes, Madarame Sansai, who has mastered Bankai, will definitely win!

At this very moment, Madarame Ikkaku, in the eye of the storm, wielding his two large swords, was excitedly launching an attack on the holy arrows that were being shot at him!
Is that all?
Too little, too little!

As Madarame Ikkaku used terrifying speed to shatter those Sacred Annihilation Arrows, he shouted loudly at Higashino Shuichi.

Hurry, very quickly!

The current Madarame Ikkaku, in terms of both speed and strength, far surpasses the Madarame Ikkaku of Higashino Shuichi's memory.

No wonder he underwent a period of special training.

Having maintained scientific training and mastered superb combat skills, Ikkaku Madarame's strength far surpasses that of his contemporaries in the original storyline.

You have to understand that with Higashino Shuichi's current level of Sanctuary Praise, even an ordinary captain like Kensei Rokusha wouldn't stand a chance against him.

Even if Kensei Muguruma hadn't escaped in time, he might have been knocked down by this move.

However, Ikkaku Madarame is able to thrive even more in this environment.

Of course, Higashino Shuichi also knew that this was very likely related to Madarame Ikkaku's Zanpakuto ability.

Madarame Ikkaku's Zanpakuto Bankai, Ryumon Hozukimaru, is a Zanpakuto with a slow-burn attribute.

Although he is said to have unparalleled destructive power, that kind of extreme power requires a long period of battle to warm up.

Under normal circumstances, it would be very difficult for Madarame Ikkaku to complete this process.

After all, real-life battles aren't like video games, where there are monsters that slowly wait for you to gradually increase your power.

But.

Higashino Shuichi gazed at Madarame Ikkaku, who was fighting with increasing ferocity and skill amidst countless sacred arrows.

He'll reluctantly play the role of that "foolish" little monster for once.
As the hymn ended, the giant crosses around them fell to the ground.

Higashino Shuichi glanced at Madarame Ichika across the street.

At this moment, the dragon pattern on the large blade behind the latter was completely stained red.

This signifies that Ikkaku Madarame's spiritual pressure and the destructive power of his Zanpakuto have reached their peak.

Around Madarame Ikkaku's body, the terrifying spiritual pressure even turned into a tangible black substance because it was beyond Madarame Ikkaku's control, covering the blades of his hands layer by layer.

"Such strong spiritual pressure."

Just standing around, some of the young Grim Reapers had already collapsed to their knees because they couldn't withstand the strain.

Even so, none of these Grim Reapers said they wanted to leave.

The Quincy, Kabuto Takuya and Kurosaki Masaki, had not yet fallen, and as Shinigami, they could not afford to lose face here.

Masaki Kurosaki glanced at the Grim Reapers nearby, who seemed to be acting strangely, with a puzzled look.

She vaguely sensed that the Shinigami opposite her, who was fighting Kabuto-senpai, was acting strangely.

But she didn't know what was wrong.

Because the pressure that should have been placed on her has now been completely taken over by Higashino Shuichi.

After all, she was someone with whom he had some connection, so the treatment of Kurosaki Masaki was naturally different from that of Shiba Isshin in Higashino Shuichi's eyes.

"Judging from your expression, you seem ready~"

Higashino Shuichi looked leisurely at Madarame Ikkaku and said.

"Hehe, are you ready?"
Quincy!

Madarame Ikkaku was too lazy to even think about the meaning behind Higashino Shuichi's words.

As far as Madarame Ikkaku was concerned, the other party said he was ready, and he was indeed ready, so that made sense.

He asked just the right question, and he cut just the right amount!

"Let me show you the true form of my Bankai, Ryumon Hozukimaru!" Madarame Ikkaku leaped high into the air and swung his sword down.

There were no fancy or unnecessary movements.

There is no need for any ghostly path as a prior preparation.

His overflowing spiritual pressure would automatically help him block all of Higashino Shuichi's escape routes.

It certainly doesn't possess any ghostly arts.

However, when spiritual pressure has reached a certain level, simply piling up spiritual pressure is enough to accomplish some simple tactical plans.

Unfortunately, Higashino Shuichi never considered running away.

He stood there, extending a finger toward a corner of Madarame in the sky, and a simple Holy Annihilation Arrow condensed at his fingertip.

Holy Script Ability I: Fiction, activate!
This time, an image of a black man with short white hair appeared in Higashino Shuichi's mind.

Its left eye, which is always closed, is covered with a black crosshair mark. It wears a pair of white gloves with "X" embroidery, and its upper body is covered with a sleeveless shirt with fur shoulder armor on the right side.

If someone familiar with the person were to witness this scene, they would immediately recognize that this individual is a future member of Yhwach's personal guard.

Lijie Barrow.

Imagine, then reconstruct!
Holy Script X - All Things Connected, activate!

This is not the first time that Shuichi Higashino has used this fictional ability.

Therefore, Higashino Shuichi is very fast.

The Holy Arrow of Annihilation flew out at an extremely fast speed.

Next, the scene you've been imagining should appear.

Madarame Ikkaku's Zanpakuto was pierced, his Bankai was broken, and he could only leave the stage in despair.

just,

"This is my Bankai!"
Quincy, don't look down on people!

Madarame Ikkaku's furious roar still echoed in the air.

Higashino watched helplessly as his Sacred Arrow shattered the moment it touched Madarame Ikkaku's Zanpakuto.

how can that be!

Shuichi Higashino could hardly believe this result.

Is it because the spirit body on his body restricts his spiritual pressure output too much that this result occurred?

impossible!
Back in the mortal world, when facing Harribel, Higashino Shuichi's compatibility with the spirit body on his body was even lower, but the ability to penetrate all things was still effective against Harribel's abilities.

Could it be that.
Higashino Shuichi thought of a possibility.

That was the limitation of his ability that he learned incidentally when he first mastered this sacred script ability.

His ability to create fictions must be an ability that is theoretically possible or certain to exist in the future. Needless to say, Higashino Shuichi had already memorized this rule by heart.

However, the other one has not been triggered yet, so Higashino Shuichi has almost forgotten about its existence.

That is, this fictional ability must be an ability that does not exist in reality.

If this ability already exists in reality, then Shuichi Higashino cannot fabricate it.

Because that's reality, not a fictional imagination!

In other words, the reason why Higashino Shuichi was able to successfully fabricate the power of the Holy Symbol I: Steel was because, in reality, the power of the Holy Symbol I had not yet been granted by Yhwach.

However, the Sacred Symbol X: All Things Penetrate that Higashino Shuichi is about to use may very well have already been given to him by Yhwach during this period.

This is why the ability that Higashino Shuichi has created is now ineffective.

"Ah"

It took Higashino Shuichi quite a bit of time to figure this out.

However, this did not prevent Higashino Shuichi from counterattacking Madarame Ikkaku's attacks during this process.

Admittedly, using the power of the Holy Script that connects all things is the simplest and most convenient approach, but even without the Holy Script's power, Higashino Shuichi had already made a backup plan.

After a past defeat, never fight a battle unprepared—this has become Higashino Shuichi's life motto.

Therefore, when faced with the seemingly unstoppable slash of Madarame Ikkaku, and after his Sacred Annihilation Arrow was easily shattered, Higashino Shuichi quickly bent over and placed his hands on the ground.

Have you ever heard of the Shadow World?

A sentence that left all the Grim Reapers around them completely baffled came out of Higashino Shuichi's mouth.

Only Kurosaki Masaki instantly understood the meaning behind Higashino Shuichi's words.

"Senior Kabuto, do you mean to..."

Masaki Kurosaki thought that Shuichi Higashino was planning to escape into the shadow world.

This move is incredibly effective; Masaki Kurosaki used it repeatedly when facing Hollows in the real world.

But she was wrong.

Is Higashino Shuichi that kind of person?

"Open the door."

As Higashino Shuichi uttered those two words, a pitch-black door suddenly opened beneath his feet, revealing a deep and unfathomable black realm within.

Strangely, all the Grim Reapers or objects standing on the ground remained unharmed and did not fall, as if Higashino Shuichi had only opened a door to the environment.

However, as Higashino Shuichi spoke next, the expressions of all the Grim Reapers around, including Kurosaki Masaki, changed.

"The Endless Great Sage Bow!"

Those were countless Great Sacred Bows, seemingly spanning the entire Soul Society, with no beginning and no end in sight.

The surrounding Death Gods could only see countless enormous holy arrows of destruction already drawn and ready to be released on these great holy bows.

What does it mean to come prepared?

That's what it means to be prepared!

Creating entirely new techniques might be a bit difficult for Shuichi Higashino, a time traveler.

However, if it's just a matter of rearranging and combining some existing moves, then it's perfectly fine for Shuichi Higashino.

Even if it's just a matter of violently recombining them using powerful spiritual pressure, that's something that can be done.

Originally, Shuichi Higashino intended to save this move for a certain unlucky captain.

But now that such a sudden situation has occurred.

The situation didn't allow Higashino Shuichi to consider anything else, so it was just a pity for Madarame Ikkaku.

The Holy Annihilation Arrows fired from this Great Holy Bow are different from the numerous smaller Holy Annihilation Arrows that were used in the previous Holy Domain Praise.

It's not easy for Madarame Ikkaku to defeat these Sacred Arrows as easily as before!
Or rather, with his current abilities, it's simply impossible for him to do it!
After all, this was a temporary power-up that Higashino Shuichi created for himself a day in advance, by separating himself from his own spirit body and relying on his original spiritual pressure.

Let alone Madarame Ikkaku, even Captain-Commander Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni would have to have a good drink!
A terrifying explosion and a flash of light rang out.

The knife shattered, but the man survived.

In the end, Higashino Shuichi still gave Madarame Ikkaku, who could be considered half his student, a little bit of face.

But not much.
