Chapter 633: Art is an Explosion
"So this is my current level of control over spirit particles..."
Bambietta commented as she gazed at the light emanating from the bedroom, illuminating the room and causing the wall opposite to crumble, along with half of the villa, which disappeared in the brilliant radiance.
Although her other skills and combat abilities were surely not on par with those of the Kommandants, with a little more training, it would be extremely easy for her to become one.
At her age, to possess such a level of mastery over spirit particles, coupled with her noble lineage as a pure-blooded Quincy, she would undoubtedly have a great chance of gaining Yhwach's recognition and becoming a member of the Sternritter.
That was the highest aspiration of all Quincies.
But.
Bambietta's reverie didn't last long. Her body gradually stiffened, and her gaze froze.
A hint of disbelief crept into her eyes as she looked forward. The wall in front of her, along with half of the villa, had collapsed and vanished, but the large bed she had blasted remained untouched, not even a strand of hair on Feng Ye, who lay on it, was out of place.
"!!!"
Bambietta's expression turned to one of sheer incredulity.
Before she could react further, she witnessed the shattered half of the building begin to restore itself as if the scene were being rewound. Crumbled bricks reassembled in the air and returned to their original positions, causing the collapsed half of the house to reconstruct at an astonishing speed.
Within seconds, the house, which had been reduced to rubble, was restored to its original state, leaving no trace of the previous destruction as if it had all been a dream.
Feng Ye opened his eyes.
He looked at Bambietta, who was frozen in shock, and asked gently, "Surprised?"
"You..."
Fear flashed in Bambietta's eyes, and she pointed a finger at Feng Ye. The spirit particles at her fingertip stirred rapidly, converging into a beam of light as she prepared to attack him again.
However, before she could release the gathered spirit particles, her control over them was forcibly stripped away, and all the spirit particles in the room suddenly became unresponsive to her commands.
Swoosh!!!
The condensed spirit particles twisted into a tentacle-like rope, wrapping around her finger and binding her left arm.
Bambietta's expression turned to horror as she struggled with all her might to break free, but she was lifted off the ground and spun halfway around, dangling above the bed.
Swoosh! Swoosh!!!
Countless spirit particles converged and transformed into six or seven glowing ropes, resembling tentacles that moved on their own accord. In an instant, they bound her remaining limbs.
With all four limbs immobilized and her body restrained, only Bambietta's head could move as she looked at Feng Ye, who had gotten up from the bed and now stood before her. She wore a look of utter disbelief.
"This level of control over spirit particles..."
She was well aware that her mastery over spirit particles had reached the level of a Kommandant. For someone to completely override her control over spirit particles and dominate all the spirit particles in this space was a capability possessed only by the Sternritter!
Moreover, it wasn't something an ordinary Sternritter could achieve. This was the power exhibited by the Sternritter after attaining the Quincy Vollstandig—
The Sanctum!
Also known as the Absolute Subjugation of Spirit Particles!
Witnessing the spirit particles manipulated by Feng Ye, moving as flexibly as living limbs, Bambietta stared at him in disbelief and whispered, "This is the Sanctum, the absolute subjugation of spirit particles. You're not a Sternritter, and you haven't activated your Vollstandig. How is it possible for you to achieve this level of control..."
Feng Ye smiled faintly and asked, "Then the question arises, why do you assume that only a Sternritter can attain this level of mastery over spirit particles?"
"!!!"
Bambietta's expression turned blank.
Indeed, there was no such restriction. Any Quincy could potentially attain the Vollstandig through self-cultivation, but aside from the Sternritter, very few had truly mastered it.
Furthermore, given that Feng Ye was a fallen Quincy, lacking proper guidance and training, it was understandable that she had overlooked this possibility, assuming that Feng Ye's abilities were at most on par with a Kommandant. However, it was now evident that his capabilities far exceeded that level.
This was indeed the power of a Sternritter!
Among the Sternritter, there was also a former fallen Quincy who, due to his exceptional talent, had earned Yhwach's recognition and became a member of the Sternritter. Feng Ye was likely similar, possessing the qualifications to gain such recognition!
"Enough of that," Feng Ye said as he looked at Bambietta, bound by the spirit particle ropes and hanging in the air. His tone remained calm. "Since you've meticulously planned this assassination attempt on me for so long, I can't just let you off that easily."
"No, don't... don't kill me..."
Hearing Feng Ye's words, Bambietta snapped out of her disbelief and looked at him with fear in her eyes.
She had carefully plotted to kill Feng Ye, only to have her plan exposed. She knew Feng Ye wouldn't let her live, especially since he possessed such formidable powers. Moreover, with his strength, he probably wouldn't care about her life at all. Even if he did kill her, once he gained Yhwach's recognition and joined the Sternritter as a fallen Quincy, no one would be able to punish him.
Her death would be in vain.
Even her noble lineage wouldn't matter, for once one became a Sternritter, they were beyond the jurisdiction of any noble family.
And she was already so afraid of death, especially now that she had glimpsed the possibility of becoming a Sternritter herself. She didn't want to die just like that.
"Rest assured," Feng Ye said, a slight smile playing on his lips. "I said I wouldn't let you die a simple death, so you won't perish that easily."
Bambietta's heart relaxed slightly at his words, even though she knew that what awaited her might be a torture far worse than death. But as long as Feng Ye didn't kill her, that was all that mattered to her.
Feng Ye smiled faintly and raised his hand, gathering a large amount of spirit particles in his palm, which condensed into a massive glow, exuding an unnerving aura.
He held this condensed mass of spirit particles, resembling a pillar of light, in one hand and said, "This is what you used to shoot at me earlier. I believe it's a hand-released spirit energy cannon, comparable in power to the average Gillians' Cero."
Bambietta's body trembled slightly.
Was Feng Ye going to use the attack she had just unleashed on her? That would undoubtedly be extremely painful... But the question was, would it be that simple?
As expected, the moment this thought crossed her mind, Feng Ye chuckled and waved his hand casually. The spirit energy pillar reappeared in the air, layering itself nine times.
"No...
"Th-That's... too much..."
Bambietta looked on in terror, her voice shaking as she spoke.
Feng Ye smiled calmly and said, "No, it's not too much at all. After all, you meticulously planned this ambush, so returning it to you tenfold is only fair. But I think simply reflecting your attack back at you tenfold would be a bit too boring."
At this point, Feng Ye pinched the air, and the pillar of spirit energy abruptly contracted, becoming much smaller and transforming into a ball of light about the size of a fist.
Then...
Feng Ye took a step forward, pinching Bambietta's chin with his fingers and forcing her mouth open despite her fearful gaze. "So, I'd like you to swallow what you used to shoot at me. Only then will the punishment be considered fair."
Bambietta's eyes widened in shock.
She struggled with all her might, trying to say something, but before she could utter a word, Feng Ye gestured with his left hand, and the densely packed ball of spirit energy flew into her mouth, silencing her pleas for mercy.
What happens when you swallow a Cero?
Buzz!!!
Bambietta's slender waist suddenly expanded outward, becoming round and plump as if she were pregnant, while cold sweat poured down her forehead.
While the basic ability of a Quincy is the manipulation of spirit particles, Feng Ye had taken the limit of what she could control and compressed it even further, then forced her to ingest it. Controlling a mass of spirit particles at this level was extremely challenging for her!
She couldn't match Feng Ye's ability to compress the spirit particles into such a small sphere, so the moment it entered her stomach, the mass of spirit energy showed signs of exploding.
Fortunately...
Her control over spirit particles had reached the level of a Kommandant, and as the spirit energy expanded instantaneously, growing from the size of a fist to that of a basketball, its density decreased, reaching a level she could just barely manage. With gritted teeth, she forcibly restrained it and attempted to disperse it bit by bit.
"What is this?"
"It's similar to when a tailed beast consumes a Tailed Beast Ball."
Feng Ye smiled gently as he watched Bambietta, her body taut and drenched in cold sweat, struggling to control the mass of spirit energy. "After all this time and training, you can still manage to control it, but... what will you do with the second one?"
Buzz!!
As his words fell, another spirit energy pillar rapidly contracted, transforming into a sphere of light that landed on Feng Ye's fingertip.
Seeing the second sphere of light on Feng Ye's fingertip, Bambietta's face contorted in terror. She struggled to suppress the mass of spirit energy within her and pleaded, "No... no... mm... gulp..."
Unfortunately, her pleas fell on deaf ears as Feng Ye, with a gentle expression, fed her the second ball of highly dense spirit energy.
As the second sphere of light entered her stomach, Bambietta's rounded belly swelled even further, and one could even see the glowing light through her skin, as if she had swallowed countless fireflies.
Perhaps due to having already swallowed one and her innate talent manifesting in this dire situation, she managed to maintain control even after ingesting two of them.
However...
All she could do was control them; she couldn't disperse the highly dense masses of spirit energy, nor could she make any other movements. She couldn't even utter a sound, her body taut to its limit, and sweat dripped from her forehead.
Seeing the third sphere of light on Feng Ye's smiling fingertip, Bambietta, unable to speak, could only look at him with pleading eyes.
But Feng Ye calmly fed her the third one.
Buzz!!!
The three highly dense masses of spirit particles far exceeded Bambietta's ability to control them, and they instantly expanded within her body. Countless spirit particles gathered and rampaged through her, gradually transforming her into a replica of Uchiha Madara after being ambushed by Black Zetsu.
The agony of being compressed by spirit particles and losing human form was intense, but with the endurance she had built up over the past few days, Bambietta managed to maintain her consciousness even in this excruciating pain. As the mass of spirit energy continued to expand and its density decreased, she was able to halt its progression once again.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Feng Ye raised his hand and smiled as he applauded.
Then, with a gentle push of his hands, the remaining seven pillars of spirit energy instantly transformed into fist-sized orbs of light that floated towards Bambietta, resembling a string of dumplings, and entered her mouth one after the other.
Unlike in the case of Hagoromo Otsutsuki, there was no Otsutsuki Hagoromo within Bambietta's body to help her control such a vast amount of spirit energy and regain her form.
Thus...
Boom!!!
She ruptured.
The towering spirit energy pillar exploded through the second and third floors of the villa, finally being stopped by the barrier covering the estate.
Feng Ye stood at a close distance, his hands behind his back as he watched the scene unfold with a slight smile, whispering to himself, "It would've been quite fitting if you had said, 'Art is an explosion' at this moment."
