Chapter 615: The Arrival of the Zero Squad
"!!!"
Even Genryuusai Yamamoto, in almost the same instant, had his pupils contract as he shifted his gaze to his Zanpakuto.
His first suspicion was that Feng Ye had tampered with his sword, as it was impossible for his Bankai's blade to make contact without causing any damage.
But...
Whether he looked at it or tried to sense it carefully, the charred blade of his Zanpakuto was indeed emanating an intense heat of 15 million degrees.
However, strangely, this heat was unable to pierce through Feng Ye's fingers, as if a being with lower spiritual pressure was attacking one with higher pressure, rendering even physical attacks ineffective.
But the problem was...
How could Feng Ye's spiritual pressure be higher than his?!
On one hand, he couldn't sense any spiritual pressure from Feng Ye at all, and on the other, he was the strongest Shinigami in a millennium, and in all that time, no being with higher spiritual pressure had ever appeared.
"What have you done?!"
Genryuusai Yamamoto, with both hands gripping the hilt of his Zanpakuto, glared at Feng Ye, their knuckles touching.
Feng Ye, with his finger pressing against the blade that contained the temperature of a solar core, replied calmly, "I haven't done anything. It's just as you see."
"Nonsense!"
Genryuusai Yamamoto's partially closed eyes snapped open, revealing a sharp gaze. He swiftly sheathed his sword and then slashed at Feng Ye once more.
It was impossible for someone to simply block his Bankai with their finger, let alone withstand it—it was a ridiculous tale!
Ding!!
Facing Genryuusai Yamamoto's second strike, Feng Ye curved his finger and, with a peaceful expression, tapped the sword's edge, creating a loud clap as the entire blade vibrated violently.
An overwhelming and irresistible force rushed forth, causing the veins on Genryuusai Yamamoto's arms to bulge. He gritted his teeth and roared, struggling to push his blade downward, but after a second of stalemate, he was still unable to withstand the force, and his entire body was sent flying backward.
In the distance...
The captains, including Kyoraku Shunsui, were all left stunned.
Even Unohana Retsu seemed to have forgotten about his illness, his mouth hanging open as he watched the scene unfold, his eyes wide in disbelief.
Even the Fifth Division Captain, Aizen Sosuke, as he witnessed this, had a brief moment of fixation, a rare look of shock flashing in his eyes.
"This feeling..."
"It's clearly the suppression of a higher spiritual pressure, crushing one with lower pressure, rendering all attacks useless..."
Among the captains of the Gotei 13, Aizen, known for his exceptional spiritual pressure and insight, immediately analyzed the situation between Feng Ye and Genryuusai Yamamoto. However, this realization still left him deeply disturbed.
So that's how it is!
No wonder I can't sense Feng Ye's spiritual pressure! It's not that it disappeared or doesn't exist, but that it has ascended to a level beyond our comprehension, reaching a realm far superior to ours!
Just as a lower-dimensional being cannot perceive a higher-dimensional one, Feng Ye's spiritual pressure has likely risen to a whole new height. Unless he lowers his spiritual pressure to our level, allowing us to perceive it, we won't be able to sense it at all!
"This is the only conclusion I can draw."
"However..."
Aizen took a breath, and the look in his eyes as he gazed at Feng Ye became more solemn than ever before.
The problem is, if it were just an ordinary captain, that would be one thing, but Genryuusai Yamamoto is also on the same level as us, below Feng Ye by an entire dimension. This indicates that Feng Ye himself transcends the Gotei 13—a being far superior to us.
And to be able to do this, to easily break the boundaries between Hollow and Shinigami, and even cause unrest in both Soul Society and Hueco Mundo...
Then Feng Ye's identity seems to point to only one possibility!
...
In the sky, a thousand meters away...
"Bankai: Zanka no Tachi South! Joketsu! Ikkakuju Gyakkou!"
Genryuusai Yamamoto roared, stabbing his Zanpakuto into the void below him. Flames immediately spread and wove in all directions.
Then, within those flames, a large amount of ash gathered frantically and transformed into countless black skeletons, climbing out of the ashes like an army from hell.
This endless skeleton army marched relentlessly toward Feng Ye.
But...
Facing this endless onslaught of skeletons, Feng Ye merely took a single step forward, and the vast sea of skeletons was instantly reduced to dust beneath his feet!
Although no spiritual pressure could be sensed from Feng Ye throughout, this shocking display caused a terrifying aura to seem to rise from him, as if he had become one with Soul Society itself, as if the entire Soul Society were pressing down on them!
As Genryuusai Yamamoto felt this dreadful aura approaching, along with the howling wind, his beard danced wildly behind him, and the violent gusts created by the intense air pressure made his clothes flutter like a kite.
Holding his ground against the fierce wind and aura, Genryuusai Yamamoto shouted, "Bankai: Zanka no Tachi West! Koukaku! Tenchou no Taikyoku!"
Boom!!
Scorching flames, too intense for the naked eye to behold, enveloped his body and spread across the nearby area, turning Genryuusai Yamamoto into what seemed like a blazing sun.
Facing Yamamoto Genryuusai, who was erupting with spiritual pressure and bathed in a vast, fiery aura, Feng Ye merely blew a breath forward.
An indescribable gale erupted, sweeping away everything in its path, with Genryuusai Yamamoto at the forefront.
Whoosh!!!
The gale was like a stellar storm, akin to a supernova exploding and releasing boundless energy as it rushed forward. It tore through Genryuusai Yamamoto's Bankai, reducing his charred robe to tatters.
"Ughhhhh..."
Gripping his Zanpakuto, Genryuusai Yamamoto roared with spiritual pressure, his voice like flames. He braced against the howling gale but was ultimately overwhelmed.
His body was swept away, flying horizontally backward. Unable to maintain balance, he tumbled through the air like a fallen leaf, blown hundreds of meters away.
In the distance...
Although they were not directly in the path, captains like Kyoraku Shunsui were still affected. They exerted their spiritual pressure to the fullest, trying to withstand the onslaught, but they were still blown back, their clothes and hats torn to shreds.
Yamamoto Genryuusai, buffeted by the gale and struggling to stabilize himself in the sky, tightly gripped his Zanpakuto. With great difficulty, he locked onto Feng Ye's position and let out a low growl. Giving up on defense, he swung his Zanpakuto.
"Zanpakuto—North! Ashes of the Heavens and Earth!"
Boom!!
A sea of scorching heat descended towards Feng Ye.
With this strike, it seemed as if the entire world had been split in two by the heat, and heaven and earth were instantly reduced to ashes.
Where the sword pointed, the air and spirit particles were erased, leaving nothing but a blank space.
The attack landed on Feng Ye.
Feng Ye didn't dodge or even lift a hand. He calmly looked forward as the heat washed over him, capable of eliminating anything it touched.
The surging heat made Feng Ye's hair dance behind him, and his clothes fluttered wildly, as if he were bathing in the gale. But his body showed no signs of melting.
He didn't use Time Peel.
He simply didn't need to.
How could the power of a miniature star, emulated by the Horizontal Strike, possibly harm him when he himself possessed the essence of a star, especially now that he had opened the door to an even higher level of transformation?
Finally...
When everything calmed down, Feng Ye still stood there, unmoved. The only change was a few strands of silver hair that had silently fallen from his head during the attack.
Yamamoto Genryuusai's body stabilized in the sky a kilometer away. His clothes were tattered, his beard was half-broken, his forehead was covered in scratches, and blood trickled down his cheeks. The vast spiritual pressure he had exuded earlier was now diminished.
"You..."
Genryuusai Yamamoto panted heavily, staring at Feng Ye from a distance.
Although he couldn't bring himself to speak a complete sentence, the look in his eyes was the same as that of the other captains.
"Old Man Yama's Zanpakuto, the 'Zanka no Tachi'... had absolutely no effect..."
"How... How is that possible...?"
Kyoraku Shunsui's hat and coat were in tatters from the aftermath of the attack, but he paid no heed to his appearance. He stared at Feng Ye with disbelief.
Standing on the other side, Unohana Retsu sheathed her Zanpakuto and gently closed her eyes, having come to the same conclusion as Aizen—a realization that left her silent.
In the ensuing silence...
Feng Ye didn't continue his attack on the heavily injured Genryuusai Yamamoto. Instead, he suddenly lifted his head and looked up at the sky.
This action caused Kyoraku Shunsui and the others, who were watching him, to unconsciously look up as well. In the sky, they noticed a ripple in space.
Immediately after...
A massive pillar silently appeared in the sky and began to descend, eventually landing on the ground of Seireitei with a thunderous crash.
Aside from the newly promoted captains, Toshiro Hitsugaya and Komamura Sajin, who were unsure of what was happening, the older captains, including Genryuusai Yamamoto, instantly recognized what it was and from where it had come.
"They've finally arrived," Aizen muttered, lowering his head to hide the glint in his eyes.
The pillar had come from the Royal Palace, known as the "Tenchurei," and it served as the carriage for the members of the Zero Squad. There was no need to guess who had arrived and descended upon Seireitei.
Zero Squad—
Arrives in Seireitei!
