$ Chapter 275 Chapter 274: Swastika versus Swastika

Swastika.

A literal last resort.

It is used by the God of Death to defend against enemies and release the soul to its ultimate manifestation.

Among them, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's methods are the most important.

It has been a thousand years... No matter what kind of enemies or opponents he encountered, Old Man Shan never chose to release his Zanpakutō to this extent.

In the eyes of others, this kind of behavior may be a sign of weakness, or it may be a sign that his heart and spirit are getting old.

But no matter how many rumors there are, they can't affect his mind even half.

Because only the person involved, or those who have followed him or her for a long time, can understand.

This Zanpakutō is powerful enough to destroy the world.

If it weren't for a life and death crisis, Yamamoto wouldn't be willing to use his power when he collapsed.

But now that his ability has been revealed, it also means another thing.

——Arima Shizuya, his existence has indeed reached the level that the captain needs to use his real skills to deal with it.

Swastika.

hiss……

The next moment after the captain groaned.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and Arima Shizu could also feel an invisible force field gradually spreading, distorting things around him.

A slightly awkward feeling came to his mind, and he frowned slightly, subconsciously trying to adjust his posture at this moment.

But at the moment when he was about to start taking action, he heard a crisp echo.

Crack.

It seems like something is cracked?

It wasn't until he felt a little warmth on his lips that Arima Shizuya came back to his senses slightly, raised his hand and touched his lips.

"..."

There was a small wound in the corner of the lower lip.

It's not because of some kind of attack method, but because of normal physiological phenomena caused by changes in the outside world.

Lips are dry to the point of cracking due to lack of moisture.

Dry, muggy.

It was as exaggerated as if all the moisture in the air had been stripped away and evaporated. Arima Shizu could also feel the obvious heat, spreading in all directions.

Invisible strong winds began to blow, and like flowing water being drawn into a whirlpool, the air began to roll back, rushing towards the direction of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

can feel...

This is not the Zanpakuto's ability.

Rather, it is simply a natural reaction caused by a state of liberation.

What's more, it's not just the place where the two are confronting - at this moment, there is even a spirit barrier set up and reinforced by Aizen Soyousuke.

Everyone outside still clearly felt the change.

The first person to notice this strangeness was Ukitake Jushiro. His cough symptoms intensified so much that everyone else standing around them showed expressions of concern.

"Captain Ukitake, are you okay?!"

"Cough, cough, cough...I, I'm fine..."

It was not because of the intensification of the symptoms, but simply because of the dryness of the air, which caused a chain reaction in the throat.

The captain and deputy captain of the second division who landed next to him had different reactions.

Broken Bee wiped the fine sweat from his face. Although his expression was still alert, at the same time, there was an indescribable feeling of doubt.

In comparison.

Ohmaeda was more straightforward. He began to breathe heavily, took out a handkerchief and couldn't stop wiping the sweat on his face.

"Team, Captain! Do you feel like it's getting hotter?!"

"..."

Broken Bee didn't respond - she always responded with silence to these matters that she had no idea about.

Ukitake Jushiro's eyes were slightly sunken as he was helped to stand up.

He looked around weakly, his lips pursed into a thin line due to nervousness.

Still here.

"Teacher, do you really have to do this..."

At the same time, the whispers like talking to oneself cannot flow into the ears of the person involved.

On the other side, Ise Nanao fainted because she could not bear the impact of spiritual pressure.

At the moment, he is being looked after by Kyoraku Shunsui.

Separate your own spiritual power and form it like a parasol that protects you from the wind and rain, completely shielding the power that falls from the sky.

The captain of Division 8 looked melancholy.

I wanted to say before that Shanye should try not to do anything serious... After all, this Zanpakutō is too 'indistinguishable between friend and foe'.

Looking at Ise Nanao who was curled up into a ball and began to breathe heavily uncontrollably.

Kyōraku Shunsui showed no other expression except helplessness.

Lowering the bamboo hat, he could only pray in his heart at this moment.

End the battle as soon as possible, Master Shan.

Otherwise...the rest of the Gotei 13 team would be the first to be steamed alive before their opponents were wiped out.

at the same time.

It’s not just fake Karakura Town.

At this moment, even Urahara Kisuke and others who were in the outside world and used to maintain the barrier could clearly feel the change.

Sunlight…

It is becoming more and more dazzling and terrifying for no reason.

The former Daigui Priest, Gribi Tessai, was maintaining the structure and energy of the barrier nervously. Standing next to him, Urahara Kisuke frowned, his face completely devoid of the usual amusement.

Can't be happy.

Xiao Yu in the shop timidly held up a measuring instrument, and at this moment, she trotted up to Kisuke Urahara and whispered.

"The temperature of the present world... has risen by 2 degrees Celsius in the past fifteen seconds..."

A short silence.

Then, Urahara Kisuke stretched out his right hand and gently patted the other person's head.

"Thank you for your hard work. Please continue to observe in the future... Don't be afraid, we will find a way to solve it."

It seems that there is no more suitable solution at the moment except to comfort him.

The adjective "helpless" itself should not appear on Urahara Kisuke. However, at this moment, he is indeed helpless about the current situation...

There is no doubt that what the Gotei 13 did is a "just act".

However.

In terms of the results.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni seems to be gradually complicating things... Perhaps this is just a civil war.

Or perhaps, this is a disaster facing the three realms.

On the other side.

Looking at Ulquiorra who fell in front of him, Kurosaki Ichigo calmly removed the Hollow Armor wrapped around his body.

"Do you still want to continue fighting?"

Covered with wounds.

Even half of his body had been crushed and collapsed softly...

But even so, Ulquiorra still maintained a calm posture, because his neck was injured and he could no longer move.

He couldn't even observe the position of Kurosaki Ichigo by turning his head.

"..."

The sky of Hueco Mundo remained unchanged and had no appreciation value at all.

And Ulquiorra's brain was also fighting fiercely at this moment.

It was his duty to protect the Hueco Mundo Palace, to watch over Inoue Orihime and not let others take her away... This was the order of Aizen Sosuke.

It was something he had to protect even if he risked his life.

However, Arima Shizuya's advice should not be ignored.

If you can't beat it, should you give up?

I don't understand the meaning of doing so... Beasts with broken hands and feet can no longer continue to hunt, and will naturally be eliminated by the environment and become food for other predators.

Do you still have to rely on others to help you? This kind of thing is really too far-fetched.

If you lose your value, you should die.

But... Arima Shizuya's usual remarks also came to mind one by one at this moment.

Arrancars should also have their own lives, find the reason for the meaning of life... Don't die?

It seems that just living can make something change.

Staring at the sky of Hueco Mundo with lifeless eyes, Ulquiorra opened his mouth slightly, and then uttered a few short words in a bland manner.

"No need, you have already won."

Admitting defeat is another kind of compromise.

Just hearing this sentence, Ichigo Kurosaki's originally serious expression relaxed directly.

He turned his head to look at his side, nodded, and wanted to say something.

But a figure had already rushed up and kneeled down beside Ulquiorra.

It was Orihime Inoue.

Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)

"Woman, what are you doing..."

"I want to heal you!"

The firm tone shows a will that will not be shaken by others.

"Mr. Ulquiorra has no ill will towards me, and I don't want to see you get hurt like this...but I'm sorry, I have reasons to leave here."

Since the conflict in ideas cannot be compromised, Orihime Inoue will not be too entangled in such a place.

Arima Shizuya's teachings during this period have indeed changed her a lot.

Looking at the power symbolizing rejection manifesting in himself, Ulquiorra stared at Orihime Inoue calmly and said suddenly.

"Aren't you afraid that I will suddenly regret it?"

"You can't do such a thing!"

Orihime Inoue's expression was firm, she bit her lower lip slightly, as if she was concentrating on maintaining her strength.

"And even if I regret it...Kurosaki-kun can beat you down again!"

Simple and plain feelings.

Not to kill, but to subdue.

Ulquiorra looked at the generous smile that Ichigo Kurosaki showed him, was silent for a moment, and finally closed his eyes.

The careless person gave up thinking.

When all the treatments were over, Unohana Retsu, who was not far away, also rushed here.

"Kurosaki-kun, the battle in the present world is still going on. Do you want to get involved?"

The judgment of the captain of the fourth division also made sense - among the known combat forces, Ichigo Kurosaki is the only high-level combat force left who has not been hit by the Aizen illusion.

Reasonable use of this combat force is also something that the captain needs to consider.

"Of course I will go!"

The reconstructed black cavity opened again, and Unohana Retsu rushed in first, but at the same time showed a surprised expression.

"What's wrong, Captain Unohana?"

"... We have to speed up, Mr. Kurosaki."

After a pause, she emphasized.

"The battle over there has entered a white-hot stage."

...

Because of the appearance of the Zanka no Tachi, too many things and people were affected at this moment.

And Arima Shizuya, the person involved, was also in the range.

He slightly came back to his senses and stared at the front at this moment...

Then, Arima Shizuya saw.

A pale world.

Threads of air were distorted by the hot stance, and everything was constantly flipping and deforming.

And the source of all these changes comes from the hand held by Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni...

That inconspicuous long blade.

Compared with the initial version of Ryuken Ruohuo, this weapon is a step further. The weapon appearing in the posture of swastika is obviously more "low-key".

It's hard to describe what it was like.

Is it a knife?

It seemed too 'broken'... There were no traces of sharpness on its body and blade, but instead there were strange lines like rust all over it.

So, is that a collection just for viewing?

Neither.

Although it was only the first complete contact, at this moment, he just 'witnessed' the appearance of the other party, and the alarm bell in Arima Shizuya's head was screaming sharply.

Extremely dangerous, fatal threat!

"Swastika, residual fire sword."

"Seal all the flames of Ryukenruohuo until they are accumulated and formed in the sword... Such a simple ability, this is my swastika interpretation."

"Anyone struck by this blade will, without exception, be engulfed by boiling explosive flames until they are completely eliminated."

State objective facts in a calm tone.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's expression contained no sadness or joy in any sense, as if he was not a confrontational party at this moment, but some kind of high-altitude observer from above.

"My ability is quite simple, but at the same time, it also has its own unique properties."

"That is the flame that I have accumulated over the years through continuous training. It will brew in it without limit, making it more explosive and hotter."

"The last time I liberated it was a thousand years ago when I faced an old enemy."

Raise your hand.

Hold the residual fire sword horizontally in front of you.

The old man's eyes were as calm as lake water. He seemed to be looking at Arima Shizuya, but at the same time...

His eyes seemed to be looking through the other person's body at the same time, seeing something more distant.

"My body will wither and my spirit will decay."

"However, practice is the only thing that will not betray people."

"All the hard work I have put into training so far lies here, and my energy and spirit also lie here..."

There is Ma Jingye.

"Are you confident enough to take my attack?"

Ask questions.

Are you expecting a response? Or are you simply talking to yourself?

Arima Shizu also didn't know, but no matter what, he needed to give a corresponding reply at this moment.

"Indeed, it is a pretty powerful Zanpakutō..."

There is no fancy ability, it just simply stacks values, and it is a typical representative of this feature to the extreme.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's Zanpakutō is not inherently powerful.

He needs time to accumulate, and he also needs to practice day and night to refine the flame that belongs to him...

It's like a tool that has been tempered thousands of times in a furnace.

The curvature and sharpness on the blade are exactly the criss-crossing scars on Old Man Shan's body.

Keep hammering, hammering... stacking!

After accumulating to the extreme, it is the ultimate interpretation of power.

So, can I really resist this power? Arima Shizuya asked himself at this moment, and his expression became a little subtle in an instant.

To be honest...

"I'm quite confident."

It's not unwarranted confidence.

It’s out of a certain sense of confidence that ‘everything is under control’.

It is rude to come and go without reciprocating.

Arima Shizuya also raised the Sakara Dragon in his hand at this moment, and while turning the blade downward, his tone also exuded a layer of confidence.

"Swastika."

"The Eight Tribes of Heavenly Dragons·All the Heavenly Beings."

Swastika solution versus Swastika solution.

This is the battle of Tianwang Mountain.

It is also the highest peak of the Gotei Thirteen Team!
