Chapter 493 The Second Battle

"Whoosh whoosh..."

"Whoosh whoosh..."

In the Seireitei, a stream of spirit arrows flew out of the darkness of the Seireitei, attacking the patrolling Shinigami.

"Ahhhh..."

"Dang Dang Dang——"

The last time the Quincy attacked, the Death Gods were unprepared, and many lower-level team members were attacked and killed immediately.

But this time, the captains did not hide the Quincy's coming attack from the Shinigami soldiers in the squad. Therefore, the Shinigami patrolling these days have paid 200% of their attention. to observe the surrounding environment.

Under such circumstances, although the Death God's side was caught off guard, not many of the team members were actually killed.

Most of the Shinigami team members were able to block the incoming spirit arrows.

However, among the Shinigami team members, the strength was uneven. The Shinigami who couldn't escape the Quincy's attack and died could not blame others.

Even if they survived the previous attack, they were unlikely to survive the subsequent battle.

After firing the first round of attack arrows, the Quincys of the Invisible Empire emerged from the shadows of the Seireitei and fought with the Shinigami.

The Quincy at the bottom did not receive the "holy text" given by Yhwach.

At the same time, they are not qualified to learn the "blood costume" created by Yhwach for the Quincy.

Therefore, the Quincy soldiers are about the same strength as the Shinigami soldiers who have not released the Zanpakutō.

The powerful elite Quincy is not without its strength to fight against the chief among the Shinigami.

…

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Violent roars continued to sound in Seireitei.

Fire, explosions, screams, and smoke of war rose into the sky from every position of the Seireitei Gotei Thirteenth Team.

Obviously, the Invisible Empire's attack on Seireitei this time was much more violent than the battle three days ago.

After all, the Invisible Empire three days ago could be said to be a two-front battle, with the Hueco Mundo combat force headed by Kiruge Opi, and members of the female knights such as Gadis Katnip and Minina Macanon. They all joined the Hueco Mundo combat force to destroy the Hollows in Hueco Mundo.

Today, in addition to the number of Quincy soldiers several times greater than before, many members of the Star Cross Knights also joined this battle.

In the second team, Broken Bee's figure flashed, fighting with Bi J Nain from the Star Cross Knights. The Broken Bees, who had already begun to recover, attacked Bi J Nain one after another.

However, what shocked the Spirit Breaker Bee was that its bird wasps were unable to cause any harm to Bi Jie Nain, not even Bi Jie Nain's skin.

"This guy's defense is so strong!"

Broken Bee took an instant step and avoided B.J. Nain's attack, with a solemn look on his face.

"Such a guy is not an opponent that I can defeat using the initial solution."

"but……"

"Boom boom boom boom..."

While Zombie was dodging the attack from B.J. Nain's rocket launcher, he was thinking about the countermeasures in his mind.

In the captain meeting two days ago, the captains already knew that when fighting the Quincy, they should never use Swastika.

Because these Quincy can always seal or take away the power of the Death God's swastika ability.

"What if there is that?"

…

"Roar, Shebimaru!"

Renji Abarai roared and released his Zanpakutō, and snake-tailed pills snaked towards Ace Nott one by one.

"Clang clang clang clang!"

"What?"

Renji Abarai was shocked when he saw that his Zanpakutō attacked Ace Nott's body without even scratching Ace Nott's skin.

What ability is this?

His own Zanpakutō can't even hurt the opponent?

It’s not just Soho and Renji Abarai.

In fact, at this moment, all the Shinigami who fought against the members of the Quincy Star Cross Knights suddenly discovered that the defenses of these Quincies were horribly overwhelming.

Their attacks couldn't even break through the opponent's defense and couldn't cause any harm to the opponent at all.

Nanana Najakup, captain of the third division, Hobashiro Juro encounters him.

Jerome Kizbat, Captain of the Fourth Division, Unohanaretsu.

Ace Nott encountered by Captain Kuchiki Byakuya and Vice-Captain Renji Abarai of the 6th Division.

Captain Komamura of the 7th Division encounters Bumbi Aita on the left side.

Captain Kyoraku Shunsui of Division 8 encounters Robert Akutron.

Berenik Gabriel, the captain of Division 9, encountered.

Buzby encountered by Toshiro Hitsugaya, captain of the 10th Division.

Aodu encountered by Captain Zaragi of the 11th Squadron.

The captain of the twelfth division, Neyuri, meets Giselle Jules.

Captain of the 13th Division, Ukitake Jūshirō, Minina McCannon.

Just when the captains who were at a disadvantage were wondering whether to use the swastika, the voice of Akon, the third seat of the 12th Division, sounded in the ears of many Shinigami.

"I would like to inform all captains, vice-captains, and chairs who have mastered the swastika, the third seat of our 12th Division, Akon."

"After a day of research, our Technology Development Bureau has analyzed the secret of how Quincy can capture the Death God's Swastika."

"According to Captain Nirvana's research, the star medals in the hands of the Quincy can take away the Death God's swastika and manipulate it."

"Therefore, I hope that all the Shinigami who have mastered Bankai will not rashly use Bankai when fighting against Quincies before we have figured out how to take back the Bankai that was stolen."

"Otherwise, your Bankai may be used by the enemy against us."

"That's all!"

...

"There is such a thing?"

After hearing the message conveyed by Akon using the 77th Binddo Tenjo Kuro, some captains who wanted to use Bankai to fight against Quincies secretly rejoiced.

Fortunately, they did not act rashly.

Otherwise, the power of their Zanpakutō would not only hit themselves, but also cause greater damage to other Shinigami in the Soul Society.

However, a large part of the captains' strength is above their Zanpakutō.

Without their Zanpakutō's Bankai, it is almost impossible for them to defeat the Quincies of the Sterncross Knights with only Shikai.

After all, no matter what, the Stern Cross Knights were created by Yhwach to fight against the captains of the Death God Gotei 13.

…

"Surrender, and accept your fate of failure and death."

In the second squad, Bi-J-Nine's mechanical voice sounded, and rockets flew out from the tentacles behind him and attacked Soi-Fong.

"We, the Stern Cross Knights, are the Quincies selected by His Majesty to deal with you, the captains of the Shinigami."

"You who cannot use Bankai can't even break our 'blood suits'."

"In front of us, you have no power to resist at all."

"Rather than fighting with us and getting hurt, it is better to give up resistance and let us grant you eternal sleep."

"Heh, Quincy, are you too arrogant?"

While dodging Bi.J.Nine's attack, Soi-Fong mocked Bi.J.Nine: "A thousand years ago, you were defeated by the Gotei 13, and even your emperor was killed by Captain-General Yamamoto."

"A thousand years later, your ending will not be different from a thousand years ago."

"It's just that we can't use Bankai. Although the captains of the Gotei 13 will weaken their own strength to a certain extent, who told you that without Bankai, you can defeat us?"

After saying that, Soi-Fong stopped dodging and took a deep breath.

When dozens of rockets came, Soi-Fong suddenly shouted-

"Shun Hong!"

"Boom!"

The burst of lightning bloomed behind Soi-Fong's shoulders.

Then, Soi-Fong's figure flashed and disappeared in front of the dozens of rockets.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

Under this fierce artillery fire, several tall buildings were destroyed.

However, such a powerful attack was ineffective against Soi-Fong.

After using "Shun Hong", Soi-Fong's own spiritual pressure and speed suddenly increased. The rockets fired by Bi-Jie Nain could not keep up with Soi-Fong, and could only eat dust behind Soi-Fong.

"Swish!"

In an instant, Soi-Fong's figure appeared behind Bi-Jie Nain and kicked Bi-Jie Nain.

Because her Zanpakuto Sparrow Bee couldn't even break Bi-Jie Nain's defense before, Soi-Fong thought that her kick might also be in vain.

After all, no matter how narcissistic Soi-Fong was, she didn't think that her attack could be compared with the sharpness of her Zanpakutō.

How could a defense that couldn't be pierced by her Zanpakutō be unable to defend against her own attack?

However, what surprised Soi-Fong was that her kick directly kicked Bi-Je-Nine away.

And if Soi-Fong saw it correctly, under the area of ​​Bi-Je-Nine's false mask, a stream of blood dripped from it.

Obviously, Bi-Je-Nine was seriously injured by her kick.

"What's going on?"

"Why did his defense suddenly become so much weaker?"

Such thoughts flashed through Soi-Fong's mind, but now was not the time for Soi-Fong to think too much.

Years of combat experience allowed Soi-Fong to catch up with Bi-Je-Nine in an instant after kicking her away, and the sparrow bee on the fingertips of her right hand stabbed Bi-Je-Nine.

"Dang!"

As if the recoil force was stabbed on a steel plate, Soi-Fong's face showed a trace of pain.

This time, I failed to break Bi-Jie Nain's defense.

What happened?

Could it be that the defense of these Quincies is only against the Zanpakutō of the God of Death, and has no good protective effect against attacks such as Kidō and Hakutō?

Such a guess flashed through Soi-Fong's mind.

At that moment, Soi-Fong twisted her waist and kicked Bi-Jie Nain.

"Bang!"

"So hard!"

This kick landed at the same place as Soi-Fong's kick before.

However, unlike the previous kick that injured Bi-Jie Nain, Soi-Fong's attack this time turned into her being forced back by the powerful recoil force.

"Can't break the defense again..."

"What happened?"

After dodging Bi-Jie Nain's rocket, Soi-Fong responded to her previous attack on Bi-Jie Nain in her mind.

Soon, Soi-Fong came to a preliminary conclusion in her mind.

The defense of the Quincy in front of him was indeed very strong, but the Quincy could not maintain this level of defense forever.

At least, when Soi-Fong kicked Bi-Je-Nine, the opponent's defense was not so strong.

Now, what Soi-Fong needs to do is to find Bi-Je-Nine's flaws and investigate whether this defensive posture is based on the duration of time or something else...

...

Sixth Division.

Because his own Zanpakutō cannot cause damage to Es-North, in order to prevent Es-North from attacking other Shinigami in the Sixth Division and causing huge casualties among the Shinigami soldiers in the Sixth Division, Abarai Renji used his Zanpakutō Snaketail Maru to tie up Es-North and restrict his actions.

"A mere death god actually wants to tie me up in this way..."

Although he was tied up by the snake tail pill, Ace Nott was not panicked at all, and slowly said to Abarai Renji:

"Is it because you have seen the fear of your own defeat?"

"What?"

After Ace Nott said this, Abarai Renji suddenly felt a trace of fear in his heart.

The cause of this trace of space was what Akon, the third seat of the 12th Division, said before.

The most powerful thing for the captains is their own Zanpakutō's Bankai.

Now that they can't even use Bankai, will the Soul Society still have a chance of winning this time against the Quincies?

"No, how could I think so?"

Such a thought just came to Abarai Renji's mind, and Abarai Renji shook his head and wanted to get rid of this negative thought.

However, what shocked Abarai Renji was that at this moment, Es Nott seemed to have turned into countless black bugs. These bugs fed on his previous thoughts, adding to his fear, and more fear gave birth to more black bugs.

Abarai Renji's pupils dilated.

After just a moment of daze, he felt that his whole body was covered with these black bugs called "fear", and these "fears" seemed to be infiltrating into his body, wanting to eat him up.

"Are you going to die?"

At a certain moment, Abarai Renji actually felt that if death could end such fear, then death would be a good choice.

But the next moment, cherry blossom petals flew.

"Hoohoo..."

The cherry blossom petals all over the sky swarmed towards Es Nott along Abarai Renji's Zanpakutō.

"Renji, what are you doing?"

The voice of Byakuya Kuchiki sounded behind Abarai Renji, awakening Abarai Renji from the fear of failure.

"Although this guy is indeed quite powerful, this is not a reason for you to surrender."

"Captain Kuchiki!"

After Abarai Renji came back to his senses, he quickly bowed to Byakuya Kuchiki and apologized.

"Sorry, Captain Kuchiki."

"I won't do it next time." (End of this chapter)
