Death: Captain Millennium

"There's a problem! There's definitely a big problem!"

Emperor Ziwei couldn't help but frown and mutter to himself. He was so busy today that he had just rushed back to Lin Yu's inner world from the Sun Star. Before he could even sit down, he sensed the sudden eruption of the Taiyin power on the Taiyin Star.

So he once again used his magical powers to cut through the void and descended to the Moon. After landing on the Moon, the Emperor Ziwei immediately saw the magnificent Moon Palace in the distance.

Just as he was about to step into the hall to find out what was going on, he was suddenly blocked by an invisible barrier.

"Hmm? This... the Lord of the Moon is actually awake?"

Emperor Ziwei showed a look of surprise. He slowly stretched out his palm and gently placed it on the barrier. An extremely powerful and icy Taiyin will surged through his palm, as if it wanted to swallow him whole.

Within the Moon Palace, Bayunsai gazed upon the reflections of ice crystals scattered across the floor—each fragment depicting the collapse of the Seireitei. Was this a future foreseen by Yuelun, or a reflection of her own inner fears?

"I'm here for the Moon Marrow!"

The cold voice of Bayunzhai was like a clear spring under the moon, echoing in this illusory space.

She broke off the laurel branch in her hand, which was emitting a faint silver glow, as if it were just an insignificant item.

However, just such a simple action caused the dreamlike scene around to instantly distort and shatter.

How could a mere illusion affect her now? After experiencing three illusions, her heart had long been as hard as a rock, and no false scene could shake it in the slightest.

The remaining soul of Wangshu, who had been gazing at her quietly, suddenly showed a trace of emotion in his beautiful and deep eyes for the first time.

Immediately afterwards, the broken laurel branch in Bayunsai's hand turned back into an extremely sharp Zanpakuto, and a gorgeous moonflower bloomed on the handle.

"He's much more interesting than the one chosen by Taichi..."

Wangshu's remaining soul murmured softly, and there seemed to be some appreciation in his tone.

She slowly stretched out her right hand, and with a light wave, a huge disc as bright as the moon appeared out of thin air.

Above the disc, three thousand strands of moonlight flowed down like water, quickly condensing into a blade emitting cold light.

"If you can withstand my 'New Moon Slash', I will grant you the Moon Marrow you've longed for."

A blade transformed from moonlight was already whizzing towards them at an astonishing speed, as if it could tear through the void.

Before the sword light touched the target, Bayunzhai, who was in the middle of it, only felt an extremely powerful force rushing towards him. His soul seemed to be swept into the torrent of time in an instant and drifted away involuntarily.

In this brief moment, she saw many strange scenes.

There was the self who would be alone and dying a lonely death a hundred years later; there was the beloved Lin Yu who gradually turned into a tiny speck of light in the vast starry sky, and finally disappeared; and there was the once glorious Soul Society, which was covered by a thick layer of ice after the moon fell, and turned into a dead and silent place...

Just as these horrifying illusions were about to devour her completely, Bayunzhai suddenly came to her senses and used all her strength to tightly grasp the hilt of the Moon Dial.

In an instant, all the illusions seemed to be gathered by an invisible giant hand and gathered on the cold light at the tip of the knife.

"Moon Dial: Tsukuyomi Eternal Calamity!"

Two streaks of cold light collided in mid-air, emitting dazzling sparks. At the moment the two blades clashed, Wangshu's incomplete spirit suddenly smiled and whispered, "You have a good character, and you are worthy of receiving my Taiyin power."

Wangshu seemed to completely ignore whether Bayunzhai was willing to accept this power. He suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Bayunzhai's arm tightly like an iron clamp.

Then, a powerful and heart-pounding force of the moonlight surged into Bayunzhai's body like a flood that broke through a dam.

“Stop… stop now!”

Faced with such a powerful energy impact, Bayunzhai screamed in terror, but Wangshu was already immersed in the process of transmitting power and turned a deaf ear to her shouts.

As the power of Taiyin continued to pour in, Bayunzhai felt that the spiritual power in his body was surging, and his body seemed to be about to explode.

She was originally in the early super stage, but her strength began to rise at an astonishing speed, and in the blink of an eye she reached the middle super stage.

However, this rapid improvement did not bring her joy, but endless fear and pain.

Because the power of Taiyin is too violent, the energy it contains is definitely not something that Bayunzhai can control at this stage.

She could clearly feel that this force was wreaking havoc on her body; every inch of her skin and every meridian was under tremendous pressure.

If this continues, it won't be long before she really explodes and dies.

"A spirit without a physical body is still too fragile. It can't even withstand my mere layer of Taiyin power. What a pity!"

Wangshu shook his head helplessly, and slowly stopped the endless influx of Taiyin power. As the Taiyin power stopped flowing, the surrounding light instantly dimmed, leaving only silence and darkness.

She stood there quietly, letting her already somewhat illusory figure gradually dissipate in the bright moonlight.

Just as the figure was about to completely disappear, a last faint voice drifted into Bayunzhai's ears like light smoke: "Remember, when the full moon comes, take this moon wheel and go find the Chaos Bell..."

The moon disc, emitting a cool and clear light, seemed to have received some kind of summons and automatically fell from the sky, sinking into the Zanpakutō tightly held in her hand.

In an instant, a dazzling light flashed, and a complete and clear moon phase ring magically emerged from the blade.

At the same time, the powerful barrier that had been blocking the progress of Emperor Ziwei seemed to have lost its support and quickly dissipated without a trace.

After noticing this change, Emperor Ziwei flashed and rushed into the Moon Palace like lightning at a speed that ordinary people could hardly imagine.

"Little girl! How are you?"

Emperor Ziwei leaned over anxiously to check on Bayunzhai who had collapsed on the ground.

At this moment, her face was as pale as paper, her body was trembling slightly, and the spiritual power around her was as violent and rampant as a wild horse that had broken free from its reins.

The originally steady breath became chaotic, as if it would get out of control at any time.

"Great...Great Emperor..."

Bayunzhai opened his lips with difficulty and wanted to say something, but his voice was as thin as a mosquito. Before he could finish his words, his eyes went dark and he fainted.
