Crossover Anime: Starting with Bankai from Demon Slayer

Chapter 303 The Curtain Is About to Rise

"All wiped out..." Kyoraku Shunsui squatted down next to a corpse and examined the condition of the dead bodies.

Some of them were lying face down on the table, some were lying on their backs, and some were still in the posture of struggling in terror before they died.

The dried bloodstains had long since turned black, covering the once sacred and solemn judgment seat.

"He's been dead for at least three days... no, even longer."

"If they were already dead..." Jushiro Ukitake felt a chill run from his feet to his head: "Then whoever issued the execution order for Rukia all this time... who was even giving us orders yesterday..."

"Who is it?!"

The two looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Just as the two were shocked by this terrible truth and were preparing to immediately set off to inform Captain-Commander Yamamoto.

Rumble—!!!

A violent tremor suddenly came from outside Room 46.

This was not an earthquake, but a spatial tremor caused by a burst of spiritual pressure.

Immediately afterwards, an incredibly hot and terrifying heat wave, as if it were about to set the entire sky ablaze, directly assaulted the spiritual pressure perception of the two.

"This spiritual pressure..." Kyoraku Shunsui suddenly turned his head, looking towards the direction of the gate, his expression changing drastically.

"It's Ryujin Jakka!" Ukitake exclaimed in surprise, "Master Genryusai is unleashing his Zanpakuto!"

The intense heat, as fierce as the sun and capable of burning everything, still made the two of them feel parched, even from this distance.

"This location... could it be the Hill of Twin Exterminations?! It's not time for the execution yet!" Ukitake immediately realized.

"Quick, let's go! Jushiro!" Kyoraku Shunsui could no longer care about investigating the scene and grabbed Ukitake. "The situation is completely out of control!"

The two rushed out of the underground council chamber.

As soon as they stepped out of the gate, they saw that the sky in the direction of Twin Peaks Hill had been dyed crimson.

A massive firestorm was raging there, with thick smoke billowing into the sky.

"The old man is getting serious... What exactly happened that forced him to unleash such power within the Soul Society?"

However, before Kyoraku Shunsui could get an answer to his question, a figure blocked their way.

The flow of spiritual energy in the surrounding area stopped in an instant, and even the scorching wind was frozen.

"This road is blocked."

A cool, clear voice rang in their ears.

The sound did not come from any particular direction, but rather from all directions.

The air around me, the stone slabs beneath my feet, and the wall behind me all seemed to be the source of this sound.

"Who?!"

Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro instantly assumed a defensive stance, back to back, and warily surveyed their surroundings.

At the street corner directly in front of the two, Mole City Shuang walked out unhurriedly.

Upon seeing this face, even the two most senior captains were taken aback.

Jushiro Ukitake looked at the newcomer warily: "You are... the Eighth Kenpachi, Souya Azashiro!"

Kyoraku Shunsui lowered his straw hat, concealing the cold glint in his eyes, and placed one hand on the hilt of the Katen Kyokotsu sword.

"Oh dear, what a...worrying surprise." His tone remained somewhat languid, but his spiritual pressure had sharpened. "Long time no see. Did you come to have tea with me?"

"Could it be that the massacre at Room 46 was your doing?"

This conjecture is not without merit. Back then, when Shizuka Shuang was developing the Vanguard Project, it was because the 46th Chamber was wary of him that they ordered his arrest.

But he only escaped from prison yesterday...

"I'm just an observer," Shiro Sou replied calmly. "To ensure the smooth opening of this show, I've been asked to prevent you from passing by."

"Entrusted by someone?" Kyoraku looked at the Zanpakuto in Azajo Sōya's hand and laughed, "Former Captain Azajo, aren't you underestimating us?"

"Even though you are a monster who inherited Kenpachi's name, do you think you can stop me and Jushiro by yourself?"

This is not a bluff.

Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro are the prized students of Captain-Commander Yamamoto, and are top captains with hundreds of years of experience.

The two of them together already constitute a top-tier fighting force.

Despite Kyoraku's questioning, Sōya Azashiro's expression remained unchanged.

He simply raised his hand, and the surrounding air instantly froze.

Countless invisible spiritual blades silently formed in space, pointing at the two captains.

"If we have to fight to the death here..."

Sōya Azashiro's tone was as if stating an objective fact, without any arrogance or humility: "It will indeed be very troublesome, and may even result in mutual destruction."

"but...

'

He abruptly changed the subject, his eyes radiating absolute confidence: "If it's just about keeping you here for a while, preventing you from interfering with the executions at Twin Execution Hill..."

"It's not difficult for me."

The moment the words left his mouth, Kyoraku Shunsui felt the spiritual environment around him become dangerous, as if Mochishiro Sou were standing right next to him.

Not only that, even the ground, walls, and surrounding vegetation and stones were radiating Sōya Azashiro's spiritual pressure.

His Zanpakuto, Amourakureku, can manipulate spiritual particles and inorganic matter in the atmosphere like hands and feet, creating sharp blades out of thin air to threaten enemies.

Furthermore, the ability to invade and control another's body is extremely dangerous.

Kyoraku Shunsui realized that the other party was serious, and finally could not remain calm. He asked in a deep voice, "What exactly do you want to do?"

""

Zhicheng Shuang did not answer.

He simply raised his head slightly and looked towards the distant horizon, as if waiting for some signal.

"here we go."

He said softly.

"What?" Kyoraku and the other two were taken aback.

boom!!!

A deafening roar suddenly erupted from above the Seireitei!

The sound was so loud that it was as if a hole had been blasted open in the sky.

Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro suddenly looked up.

The once indestructible protective barrier that shielded the Spirit Court was violently shattered from the outside!

Fragments of spiritual particles rained down like a meteor shower.

And in that shattered sky, a retrograde comet roared toward the direction of Twin Phantom Hill!

"That commotion... is that the Shiba family's Crane Cannon?!" Jushiro Ukitake exclaimed in surprise.

As Shi Cheng Shuang gazed at the pillar of light that pierced the sky, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

"Aizen... let me see if this is also part of your supposedly perfect plan?" he thought to himself...

The Hill of Twin Calamities lies deep underground.

A blue spiritual pressure storm is raging, sweeping across the entire underground space.

The sheer intensity of that spiritual pressure caused even the captain, Toshiro, to feel a pang of fear.

"This is..." Toshiro's eyes widened.

Within the blue spiritual pressure storm, the broken sword in Ichigo's hand began to change.

The damaged blade was rapidly repaired under the infusion of spiritual pressure, eventually transforming into a long, slender katana with a jet-black body and a swastika-shaped hilt.

"Heavenly Lock... Moon Slayer".

Ichigo slowly uttered those four words.

"This is my... solution."
