Death: Captain Millennium

Outside the barrier, Unohana, Harusui, and Ukitake paced back and forth, their eyes fixed on the interior shrouded by the mysterious barrier.

Inside the barrier, the captain was concentrating on mobilizing all of his spiritual pressure, trying his best to resist the extremely terrifying and powerful force coming from the Sun Star.

Although the captain had made sufficient preparations, when he actually faced the surging power of the solar star, he was shocked to find that he had seriously underestimated its power.

As the unparalleled solar power slammed into Flowing Blade Jakka, the captain felt an unprecedented surge of pressure, like a tidal wave. Instantly, he felt as if he were engulfed in a blazing flame, his entire body ignited, the burning sensation nearly suffocating him.

Although Ryujin Jakka was hailed as the strongest of the fire element, even so, it seemed so vulnerable before the overwhelming power of the sun. Even the sword spirit, which was in tune with the captain's mind, was now being mercilessly scorched by the sun's true fire, emitting waves of shrill howls.

"what!"

Accompanied by a heart-wrenching roar, unbearable pain was continuously fed back to the captain's body through the Zanpakutō held tightly in his hand.

Even a man as powerful as him could no longer endure it at this moment and couldn't help but shout out.

He had no choice but to grit his teeth and continuously output his own spiritual pressure, trying to use it to fight against the increasingly ferocious sun fire and slightly alleviate the burning sensation on his body.

"Master Shan!"

Lin Yu looked at the captain's miserable appearance, and his heart tightened. He saw that the captain's body was charred, his clothes were tattered, and the aura emanating from him was even more chaotic. It was obvious that he had reached the end of his strength.

At this critical moment, Lin Yu unhesitatingly mobilized the star power within his body. The brilliant starlight instantly gathered into a dazzling ball of light in his palm. As long as he injected this power into the captain's body, it would quickly heal his injuries and help him suppress the violent and raging power of the sun.

"Boy! This is my own battle, I don't need you to intervene! If you can't even withstand this little bit of power, I'll be willing to be burned to ashes!"

However, just as Lin Yu was about to take action, the captain suddenly roared with all his might.

Although the captain had been roasted like a cooked lobster by the blazing sun's true fire, he still spoke with difficulty under pressure. His indomitable will moved Lin Yu.

"Remember this! If I'm ultimately unable to resist this power, the future of the Gotei 13 will be in your hands!"

The captain took one last look at Lin Yu, then closed his eyes, focused all his attention, and tried his best to fight against the surging power of the sun.

The captain's spiritual pressure continued to emanate from his body, colliding with the incomparably scorching power of the sun like a burning flame. Despite his best efforts, he gradually fell into a disadvantage in the face of such a powerful solar true fire.

"This stubborn old man, why is he so stubborn!"

Lin Yu was extremely anxious, but he did not intervene. He clenched his fists tightly, staring at the changes in the situation without blinking. If the situation was even slightly bad, he would not hesitate to save the captain's life.

Time slipped slowly in the tense atmosphere, each second seeming to stretch uncontrollably. The battle between the Captain-General and the Power of the Sun continued unabated, and the Captain-General was already panting, his spiritual pressure growing weaker and weaker, barely able to sustain it.

At this moment, the overwhelmingly dominant Sun Fire suddenly erupted, instantly enveloping the Captain in a giant fireball. The Captain seemed to have transformed into a blazing fireman, his situation extremely precarious.

If things go wrong in just a few seconds, the captain might be completely burned to ashes by this terrifying flame, and this thrilling confrontation will end with the captain's tragic defeat.

"Drink!"

With a roar, just when the captain's life was hanging by a thread and was about to be swallowed by the blazing sun true fire and turned into ashes, he burst out the little remaining spiritual pressure hidden deep in his body, ready to die together with the sun true fire.

In an instant, the Sun True Fire, which originally had an absolute advantage, seemed to have encountered an irresistible enemy and was miraculously suppressed at this moment.

Lin Yu, who had been closely watching this thrilling confrontation, clearly noticed that the vast and majestic power of the sun had begun to blend and merge with the power in the captain's body. Finally, they merged perfectly and completely transformed into a powerful force unique to the captain himself.

At the same time, the Flowing Blade, tightly grasped by the captain, underwent a startling transformation. This already immensely powerful Blade of Flame now blazed even brighter, its flames no longer a simple flame, but the supremely powerful and masculine True Fire of the Sun.

The most striking transformation was the Captain himself. The immense power of the sun had revitalized him, ushering in a second spring in his life. Reborn from the ashes of fire, he had successfully shed his former haggard, elderly visage, returning to the vigorous and energetic look of middle age. The "Sword Demon" who once dominated Soul Society had returned with a powerful force!

"Congratulations, Mr. Shan."

Lin Yu's face was filled with joy, his eyes fixed on the captain, unable to conceal his excitement. He quickly took off his haori and carefully handed it to the captain.

The captain looked truly disheveled, even rather unsightly. The blazing sun fire was so fierce and overbearing that it had already completely consumed his clothing.

At this moment, he was like an exhibitionist, completely naked. However, the captain's upright posture and unparalleled aura were not diminished in the slightest, but instead added a touch of wild and uninhibited charm.

In fact, at the last moment, it was not the captain who suppressed the raging power of the sun with his own powerful strength, but the recognition and acceptance of him by the will of the sun star.

At that moment, the captain no longer had any fear or intention to retreat. With a determination to die, he resolutely perished together with the power of the sun.

When he faced the power of the sun with such a resolute attitude, the will of the Sun Star felt the unshakable belief and fearless courage deep in his heart, and everything came to fruition.

"So this is the power above the God of Death?"

The captain clenched his fists. He clearly felt that this powerful force was baptizing his body. At the same time, the spiritual power in his body was also quietly changing, but he didn't know what this change meant.
