Death: Captain Millennium

Shiba Kaiyan unleashed his own spiritual pressure and rushed towards Metastasia like a bolt of lightning. His eyes were filled with rage, and the Zanpakutō in his hand flashed with a cold light.

While Metastasia possesses humanlike intelligence, its strength is only comparable to that of a vice-captain. Facing Shiba Kaiyan's attack, it seemed unprepared.

Shiba Kaiyan swung her Zanpakutō, instantly severing both of its arms. The Hollow roared in pain, but Shiba Kaiyan didn't give it a chance to breathe.

He used instant step and flashed in front of the Hollow, reaching out and firmly grasping the tentacles on Stacia's head. It struggled desperately, but Shiba Kaiyan's strength far exceeded it.

"Let the water and sky reverse! Twist the flowers!" Shiba Kaiyan whispered, unleashing the power of her Zanpakutō. In an instant, the air around them seemed to solidify, and a powerful wave of spiritual energy spread.

As Shiba Kaien finished speaking, the Zanpakutō in his hand changed. The blade became transparent, like flowing water, and a blue light shone on the blade.

Metastasia suddenly stopped struggling and said something confusing to Shiba Kaiyan, "Although you are strong, you have caught my tentacles."

In an instant, the blade of Shiba Kaien's Zanpakutō disappeared.

Yes, it just disappeared out of thin air, leaving only the handle of the knife.

"Jie Jie"

Stacia laughed sickeningly, "Death God, you've fallen into my trap. Anyone who touches my tentacles will have their Zanpakutō disappear."

Then it used its tentacles to knock Shiba Kaiyan away. Rukia saw that the situation was not good and was about to rush into the battlefield with her sword drawn, but Ukitake stopped her.

"Rukia, this is Haiyan's own battle. If you intervene, where is Haiyan's dignity? Where is the dignity of the other? Just watch calmly."

Rukia had an anxious look on her face. "But Haiyan-sama's Zanpakutō has disappeared. It's very dangerous to face this Hollow!"

"Rukia, you have to know that there are two kinds of fighting. One is fighting for your life, and the other is fighting for your dignity. Haiyan is fighting for his dignity. If you help him, you can certainly save his life, but what about his dignity?"

Shiba Kaiyan steadied himself and looked at Hollow with firm eyes, "Even without my Zanpakuto, I can still defeat you!" He clenched his fists and a strong aura emanated from his whole body.

Metastasia lunged at Shiba Kaiyan again, but Shiba Kaiyan dodged the attack and then launched a flying kick into its abdomen. However, the attack didn't cause much damage, and it quickly counterattacked, lashing Shiba Kaiyan with its tentacles.

A fierce hand-to-hand combat ensued, with Shiba Kaiyan using his superb Hakuto techniques to maneuver around the Hollow. Despite being at a disadvantage, he managed to rip out several of its tentacles.

After the two sides separated, Metastasia observed quietly for a while, a playful smile on her face, and said to Shiba Kaiyan, "It seems that your companions will not come to support you."

At this time, Shiba Kaiyan was already panting, but his eyes remained firm as he responded, "Stop talking nonsense! Even if I'm alone, I'm enough to kill you!"

"Hehehe..." Metastasia let out a strange laugh and continued, "Then I will let you follow in your wife's footsteps. After I take over your body, I will use it to kill your companions and devour them."

With that, Metastasia's tentacles shot towards Shiba Kaiyan at lightning speed. Kaiyan instinctively raised his arms to block them, but the tentacles easily pierced his arms and burrowed straight into his body.

Instantly, Shiba Kaiyan stood frozen in place, motionless. His once pure spiritual pressure gradually turned pitch black, as if swallowed by darkness.

After Metastasia took over the body of Shiba Kaiyan, its body not far away was torn into pieces. It turned out that these tentacles were its true body.

The sudden change prevented Ukitake and Rukia from reacting, and they watched helplessly as Shiba Kaiyan was fused into the Hollow.

"Lord Haiyan..." Rukia's voice became trembling.

"Little girl, are you calling me?" There was a hint of perversion in Stacia's voice.

"Lord Haiyan" was called again, Rukia tried to awaken Shiba Haiyan's consciousness.

"Since you care so much about this guy, let me eat you." Stacia rushed towards Rukia.

Ukitake drew his sword and stepped forward to block its attack, "Rukia, get out of the way!"

Ukitake's loud shout startled the bewildered Rukia, who began to flee the battlefield frantically.

After Stacia and Ukitake exchanged a few moves, she realized that he had no intention of killing her.

"You're thinking about how to separate me from this guy, right? I'm a spiritual being, and he's also a spiritual being. You can't separate us."

Upon hearing this, Ukitake immediately changed his attack. Since he couldn't save Shiba Kaiyan, he had no choice but to kill him together with the Hollow.

After changing his attack, Ukitake slashed Stacia's shoulder with a single blow, causing blood to spurt out. After being struck, it retreated violently.

From the memories it acquired, it knew that this Grim Reaper was a captain-level warrior and that it was no match for him at all. It seemed that it had to find a way to retreat.

Ukitake was just about to kill Stacia in one go, but he suddenly felt a throbbing in his body and a few mouthfuls of blood spurted out of his mouth.

"Damn it, my health has deteriorated at this time, not earlier or later." Fuzhu half-knelt on the ground with a knife in his hand, gasping for breath.

Seeing this, Stacia was delighted. For some unknown reason, the captain had lost his fighting ability. After a moment's thought, he decided to chase the little girl and devour her first.

After all, the Grim Reaper in front of her is a captain-level warrior. Although he looks weak now, Stacia will not bet that he can devour him. Who knows if the Grim Reaper has any other cards up his sleeve. It is much safer to chase after the little girl.

Stacia abandoned Ukitake and chased after Rukia, and soon caught up with Rukia.

Looking at the chasing Stasia, Rukia's heart was filled with fear. The extreme fear forced her to draw out her Zanpakuto and stand still. At this time, Lin Yu's figure appeared in her mind.

"Rukia, draw your sword and kill!" the voice in her head said loudly.

Rukia overcame her fear in an instant. Long-term practice formed muscle memory, and she swung the sword and hit Stacia.

After calming down, she found that the strength of the enemy in front of her was not that scary. It was only because it occupied the body of Shiba Kaiyan that she felt fear due to the influence of multiple factors.

Rukia launched a counterattack against Stacia, and after a few moves, she began to gain the upper hand.

Stacia was stunned for a moment. She had always thought that the little girl wasn't strong, otherwise why would she have been so frightened? She regretted it now. She hadn't been able to take down the little girl in a few moves. By the time the captain recovered, she would be finished.

While it was thinking, the consciousness of Shiba Kaiyan in its mind suddenly took over its body, driving its body towards Rukia's Zanpakuto.

Rukia keenly noticed this unusual action, and before it hit her, she slashed it diagonally with the Zanpakutō in her hand, cutting it away and causing a large amount of blood to splatter on the wound on its chest.

As Stacia fell to the ground, Rukia immediately activated the Binding Technique to control her.

Ukitake also rushed over at this time, ready to kill Stacia with one sword.

"Captain! Don't." Rukia shouted to stop Ukitake.

"Rukia, it has merged with Haiyan, and the only way out is to kill it." Ukitake did not see the scene where Haiyan regained control of his body just now, and insisted on killing this Hollow.

Rukia said anxiously, "Captain, Brother Haiyan is still conscious and has just regained control of his body."

After hearing this, Fuzhu felt very complicated. Even if Haiyan was still conscious, he had no way to separate Haiyan.

"Rukia, I have no way to separate Haiyan. I have no choice but to kill him along with this Hollow."

Rukia suddenly thought of something, and a hopeful smile appeared on her face. "Captain, let's go find Captain Lin Yu. He might have a solution."

"The fourth way to bind, this rope!"

Fuzhu hesitated for a moment, then applied another binding technique to Stacia. "Alright, let's take it back first. I hope Lin Yu can find a way to deal with it. If not, we'll just have to kill it."

Hearing Captain Ukitake's agreement, Rukia breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that Teacher Lin Yu could save Lord Haiyan.
