Bleach: The Strongest Kenpachi Starting from Signing In

A hint of pity flashed in Yamamoto's eyes, but his expression immediately turned furious, and a scorching spiritual pressure erupted from his body.

Its temperature was so high that it distorted the surrounding air, making it look like a god of fire.

Without any warning, the Zanka Blade suddenly accelerated and fell straight towards Yhwach's location.

hum-

The blade touched the solid ground without any explosion or towering flames.

All that remained was a stretch of land, dozens of miles long, that had been wiped away in an instant.

A huge chasm appeared at Yhwach's feet, causing his pupils to shrink instantly.

He underestimated Yamamoto Shigekuni.

He thought that he, who was about to regain all his power and even become omniscient and omnipotent, would be able to easily kill Yamamoto Shigekuni.

I never imagined that reality would be so cruel.

We must not take this battle lightly.

A slight misstep could lead to a disastrous outcome, causing all previous efforts to be wasted and a thousand-year plan to be ruined in an instant.

"Yhwabach, this is the end of it."

Yamamoto Shigekuni said expressionlessly, "Your ambition, everything you have, will be annihilated and vanished without a trace!"

The surging momentum was as if the heavens and earth were collapsing, and the heavy, scorching air suddenly pressed down.

The earth, littered with ruins, seemed to groan in agony; at that moment, the world was reduced to only black and white.

Upon seeing this, Yhwach's expression changed drastically. Countless azure lines appeared on his body and extended wildly outward until they formed a huge protective barrier.

The Quincy's strongest defensive spiritual technique: the outer shell, the Bloodstained Armor.

Yamamoto's angry voice then rang out:

"Remnant Fire Taishou·North."

"The world turned to ashes!"

As the charred black blade fell, everything in front of it was annihilated; both tangible and intangible things came to an end at that moment.

The outer shell of the Blood Essence Armor couldn't even withstand the attack for a second before it shattered completely, turning into countless materialized spiritual particles that scattered in the air and were then annihilated by the extreme heat that followed.

Under Yhwach's incredulous gaze, the slash landed on his body.

A blazing wave of fire shot into the sky, engulfing the entire barracks.

The aftershocks swept through, leaving only ruins.

When the dust settled, all that remained was an endless expanse of grayish-white ashes.

Yhwach stood there, a large part of his abdomen was empty, and he could even see the sky behind him from the front.

His eyes were vacant, as if he had completely lost all signs of life.

Nevertheless, Yamamoto Shigekuni remained vigilant, his eyes burning with intensity as he stared intently at the person before him.

At that moment, Yhwach's stiff face trembled.

"No wonder he's an old monster who's lived for thousands of years."

"I couldn't fool you after all."

A slightly hoarse voice rang out, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. Yhwach raised his only remaining left hand, wiped away the blood, and slowly raised his blood-red eyes.

Yamamoto was not surprised. If Yhwach were so easy to deal with, then Akira and the others wouldn't have gone to such great lengths.

"Self-Given and Healing".

Yhwach placed his left hand on his broken body, and as black, mud-like spiritual pressure surged forth, his injuries healed at a visible speed.

A star emblem was tightly gripped in the palm of the newly grown right hand.

"It's over, Yamamoto Shigekuni."

"Your Bankai belongs to me."

As Yhwach pointed his star emblem forward, black spiritual pressure surged forth like countless tentacles, instantly crossing the gap between the two and forcefully injecting itself into Yamamoto's body.

Yamamoto's pupils suddenly contracted.

His Bankai is disappearing!

Immediately, intense spiritual pressure erupted again in an attempt to stop this action.

However, all of this was in vain.

With his power, he was powerless to stop the loss of Bankai and could only watch helplessly as Yhwach took it away.

After acquiring Bankai, Yhwach put away his Star Emblem and glared fiercely at the angry old man.

A massive holy bow appeared above its head, with a holy arrow of annihilation, tens of meters long, suspended above the bowstring.

With a loud bang, the azure beam shot straight toward Yamamoto.

With another slash, Yamamoto, having lost his Bankai, could only rely on his raw power to block the opponent's attack.

However, it was precisely during the brief interval between attacks that the battle came to an end.

Yhwach conjured the Quincy Cross once more and swung it forward:

"Farewell, Yamamoto Shigekuni."

The scorching spiritual pressure vanished from Seireitei in the next instant...

…………

"..."

Looking at himself lying on the ground, Yamamoto's expression turned serious.

He had anticipated that Yhwach would be very strong and had already overestimated him as much as possible.

Unexpectedly, I underestimated him.

Not only did it withstand his strongest attack without dying, it could even instantly recover its damaged body through some special power.

Can that kid really handle an enemy like that?

"As you all should have already seen."

"This is the Quincy's fighting style."

"Star Emblem Transformation, a deadly weapon against Captain Death."

Aizen calmly explained, "It's a technique for forcibly stealing a Shinigami's Bankai, developed by Yhwach and modified and optimized by Mr. Urahara."

"Originally, one could only steal a Shinigami's Bankai at the moment it was activated."

"Now it can be taken without using Bankai."

As soon as he finished speaking, countless gazes fell upon Kisuke Urahara in the palace.

Yamamoto was the most ferocious among them.

Sensing the murderous intent of everyone, Kisuke Urahara was on the verge of tears. "It was Aizen who ordered the optimization of the technology, so why am I the one who has to take the blame in the end?"

Aizen Sousuke, you deserve to die!

No wonder he could hang out with Ru Yueming; their hearts are just as black.

"Ahem, everyone, please don't take it too seriously."

Kisuke Urahara tried to salvage his image, saying, "The Star Seal cannot be used a second time, and with the death of the person whose power was stolen, the Bankai within it will also be destroyed."

Upon hearing this, everyone finally understood.

Fighting a group of guys who can steal your Bankai at any time is tantamount to cutting off your own limbs.

Fortunately, this technology is no longer usable, otherwise the outcome would have been uncertain.

However, upon further reflection, this technique seems ineffective against Ruyueming.

His fighting style is like that of a wild beast, so he doesn't need to rely on the power of his Zanpakuto at all.

A pair of iron fists swept across the entire wilderness.

If you calculate it this way, it seems he had anticipated this step all along?

For a moment, the team leaders felt a mix of emotions.

Being intellectually outmatched by this guy is truly the ultimate insult.

"Aside from star-studded transformations, the specific combat method involves manipulating spiritual particles in the air."

Aizen ignored the expressions of the others and continued speaking to himself:

"Although the spirit remains have depleted some of the Quincy's fighting strength, they won't make the upcoming war much easier."

"Because our task is more challenging."

"Whether they are low-ranking Quincy or members of the Sternritter, defeat them as much as possible, rather than kill them."

"As for the reason..."

Aizen's gaze swept around, and his calm voice reached everyone's ears precisely.

“Living Quincy are the greatest threat to Yhwach.”

Fanatical faith led the Quincy to be loyal to Asuka, not Yhwach.

In this way, with the blessing of Ruyueming's abilities, they will not be affected by Yhwach's sainthood.

However, once a Quincy dies, their soul and power will return to Yhwach, and all their previous efforts will be in vain.

After a brief explanation, the team leaders all nodded in agreement.

After such a dramatic turn of events, they no longer had any doubts about the third seat of the 12th Division.

If Akira Kisaragi conquered Soul Society with force, then Aizen won everyone over with wisdom.

Even in the racial war between Shinigami and Quincy, he was still able to manipulate things with ease.

Both Yhwach's actions and the Knights' actions were part of his plan.

Such a terrifying being is hard to find even in the millions of years of history of the Soul Society.
