The white banner, which appeared to be made of wood, withstood Aizen's Zanpakuto without sustaining any damage.
He staggered back two steps, his steps unsteady, and Gui Shi Bai's gaze grew even colder.
"Give it a try if you can."
"Unfortunately, they really do have that confidence."
Aizen effortlessly countered the other party's harsh words with his Hokushin Itto-ryu swordsmanship.
They immediately started fighting with the ghost messenger, Bai.
Surprisingly, this seemingly mage-oriented Ghost Messenger Bai is also quite good at melee combat.
Although not as ferocious as the Black Reaper, it had still exhausted itself.
"Tsk tsk, they're all incredibly talented."
Kisuke Urahara made sarcastic remarks but showed no intention of making a move. Instead, he observed the two battles with great interest.
Having obtained the information through words, he now planned to observe more information with his naked eyes.
For example, combat effectiveness is a good benchmark.
The others who weren't involved in the fight shared the same attitude; since Sakamoto Ryoma was in the lead, no one could criticize them if they didn't intervene.
Judging from their appearance, only captains who have fully mastered the D-type magic and demon kings are qualified to contend with them. It is clear that neither the Oni Brothers nor Okada Izou are the strongest heroes in their respective factions.
Based on their status, Black and White Impermanence, in the underworld system, are not just the Five Ghost Emperors or the Ten Kings of Hell, but are at least above judges like Meng Po, Ox-Head and Horse-Face.
Not to mention Heroic Spirits, these two modern human Heroic Spirits, excluding those nameless nobodys, would definitely be at the bottom among named historical figures, with Hattori Hanzo perhaps being a little better.
Thinking about it this way, Nura Rihan and Urahara Kisuke felt a heavy sense of pressure.
Furthermore, the new captain of the 11th Division has the air of the strongest captain, and his fighting style is extremely fierce.
In Urahara Kisuke's and Hirako Mako's understanding, the only person who could fight so fiercely with just a pair of fists was the female hooligan Yoruichi Shihouin.
However, compared to that instant-killer, this one's attacks were more ruthless and dangerous, using both hands and feet, with every move aimed at vital points: the life gate.
That fluidity, like a swift wind, is the rage amplified by the wind itself.
Knowing that Yoruichi Shihouin had developed Shun, Kisuke Urahara secretly compared them and suddenly realized that Joe Higashi, with his golden hair, was still more ferocious.
In comparison, the already defeated Oni Iwashiro Kenpachi truly failed to live up to the name "Kenpachi".
Its name.
"Wait a minute! Oni Yanjo Kenpachi!" Urahara Kisuke silently glanced at the unconscious, chubby black man, hesitated for a moment, then forgave his rudeness and went over to use his half-baked healing technique to try and save him. Whether he could be saved was up to fate; hopefully, it wasn't too late.
Just as the battle situation was becoming clearer, and Gui Shi Bai was the first to be unable to withstand the attack, a despairing aura filled with resentment and death swept over them.
Stop!
*Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!* Everyone present simultaneously spat out a mouthful of blood.
I fell asleep after writing 140 words last night. There should be another chapter before 1:01 PM. These are all from yesterday.
Nothing much to do today. I'll do some housework this afternoon and then I can finally write in peace and quiet.
Chapter 279 Three Hundred Thousand Times the Gold Glamour 3/3
Without a moment's rest, everyone coughed up a mouthful of blood as if they had been severely injured.
Aizen, who was overpowering the White Reaper, also stopped moving and coughed up blood quite naturally. The White Reaper, who had a chance to catch his breath, swung his banner horizontally and sent him flying.
"Lord Yama!"
After disengaging from the battle, the Black and White Brothers respectfully knelt down on one knee before a faintly appearing phantom.
The figure, whose appearance was vaguely recognizable as a woman, possessed a dignified and cold demeanor. The moment she spoke, her indifferent voice resounded in everyone's hearts.
"This time, we of the Underworld have been defeated. You two don't need to be stubborn."
"However, those who dare to harm the people of my Underworld, are you prepared to face the abyss?"
Just a slight increase in tone put pressure on everyone.
With blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, Kisuke Urahara forced a smile and said, "You're asking too much of me, sir. This whole thing wasn't... something we started."
"What does this have to do with me!"
His domineering yet arrogant words forcefully interrupted her.
Kisuke Urahara's heart sank; the other party seemed to be an extremely domineering figure.
The mere presence of the opponent's aura exerted an unprecedented pressure on him; this was no simple opponent that they could easily defeat.
Perhaps it was a glance at Hattori Hanzo, where a deeper mark on his mask silenced Urahara Kisuke.
He was clearly injured as well.
The only difference was that this ninja god's aura was stable, much better than theirs.
However, the fact that Hattori Hanzo, who was originally unharmed, could suffer minor injuries simply from the leakage of his aura is already quite terrifying.
In this quiet atmosphere, Aizen, as the director behind the scenes, naturally noticed this detail.
Whether it's Urahara Kisuke or anyone else, they all seem to have had very few dealings with Hattori Hanzo, this "Heroic Spirit" who... rarely intervened.
It contains serious miscalculations.
He deliberately created the illusion that Hattori Hanzo was strong just to make it believable. No matter what, someone like Hattori Hanzo couldn't be weaker than Okada Izo or Sakamoto Ryoma; it's a matter of character setting.
This situation is unreasonable.
It's nonsense to say that Huang Zhong, the archer who could shoot an arrow through a willow leaf from a hundred paces, was inferior to the famous general and assassin Ma Zhong, or that Lü Bu, the greatest warrior of the Three Kingdoms, was inferior to Lü Fang, the Little Marquis of Wen.
Previously, when Gui Shi Bai overexerted his energy to unleash his full power, no one escaped unscathed, and Gui Yan Cheng Jian Ba was even knocked down on the spot.
Hattori Hanzo stood out from the crowd, instantly establishing his status as a top-tier expert.
As a result, everything turned out to be this so-called "Yama".
The background of the unknown woman.
Terrifying! Unrivaled! These thoughts kept popping into my mind, and some of the actors shared the same feeling.
In fact, this is not the case.
Yama, a god, is the god of hell, corresponding to Yama, the king of the ten courts of hell.
Hmm, that sounds pretty smooth.
It's basically just the setting of Onmyoji. There's no doubt that their strength is very strong, enough to destroy the world, but they're far from being gods or anything like that.
Ultimately, it's just a mutant monster. Not to mention comparing it to true mythology, even compared to the world of the Little Garden of the Moon, its worldview is far inferior to the "authentic" versions of those worlds.
Speaking of Type-Moon alone, although their combat power level appears to be at the Earth level, there is actually a suppressive force to control them.
Look at the Curry Stick. It's said to be a city-destroying Noble Phantasm, but judging from the dynamic footage, the range of that shot is barely enough to destroy an army. It's far from enough to destroy a city.
Gilgamesh's trump card, Ea: In the mortal realm, its usage is not much better than a curry stick, but within a Reality Marble, it instantly destroyed an entire small world.
Anti-world Noble Phantasms are not "anti-barrier Noble Phantasms".
It is not a "World-Class Treasure," but rather a "World-Class Treasure."
Didn't you hear the phrase "Heaven and Earth diverged, the star of creation"?
吗.
The difference is simply that there is no suppressive force within the inherent barrier; once the attack leaks into the real world, it is instantly suppressed.
However, even Gilgamesh, the pinnacle of Heroic Spirits, is fundamentally only of demigod blood. At first glance, the divinity of the Type-Moon world may seem to exist, but the concept that gods are necessarily stronger is definitely correct.
Just look at Tamamo-no-Mae and you'll know.
One tail has a value of 9, and each additional tail multiplies by 9. The value of a first-class Heroic Spirit is 100, so Tamamo-no-Mae with three tails already has a value of 729! Three tails are already the limit for Tamamo-no-Mae's body, which means that the Heroic Spirit body cannot contain her full strength.
Because her divinity is suppressed, Tamamo-no-Mae might only have a tough fight against Gilgamesh, rather than being crushed and defeated. Karna, who is also one of the three Gold Saints, even stated that Tamamo-no-Mae is above him. This at least shows that no matter how high Gilgamesh's strength is, it won't exceed Tamamo-no-Mae's by much. So let's take a look at Tamamo-no-Mae's true strength.
Over 300 million! That's 300,000 times more dazzling! Note: The above is an official setting and not an intentional exaggeration.
This example was given earlier, and I will emphasize it again in detail this time.
Although Aizen knew that the gap between levels would be enormous later on, it was impossible for the gap between just one or two levels to be 300,000 times.
If there's such a big difference in levels, it basically means you're at the very top of the pyramid in a high-level fantasy world.
It's easy to imagine that even a level 100 is far from being the true strength of Tamamo-no-Mae.
Therefore, it's questionable whether the level of this character can compare to the Unruly Gods in Godkiller.
Of course, for everyone present, this level still represents a combat power from another dimension.
However, intimidating everyone doesn't solely rely on sheer power. Even when Ichigo and Urahara Kisuke were fighting each other, they were able to hide and try to ambush others. The effect of this utter silence still depends on various foreshadowing and setups.
Hattori Hanzo is one example, used as a background figure.
Ghost Messenger Bai unleashed his ultimate attack, injuring everyone before Yama stepped in to finish them off, becoming the second to do so.
As a fellow powerhouse, Grandpa Yamamoto doesn't easily use his D-release; his normal spiritual pressure alone was enough to nearly suffocate the vice-captain.
Both Hirako Shinji and Urahara Kisuke possessed an aura that belonged to the third category, as they were facing a powerful opponent of this level for the first time.
"Ahem, do you think we don't have a backup plan?"
In this suffocating atmosphere, Aizen forced a smile through gritted teeth.
Enma's figure paused slightly, and Aizen's forehead sweated more profusely. Everyone knew that Enma, whose face was obscured, was looking at Sakamoto Ryoma alone and putting pressure on him.
"Oh, you can give it a try."
Enma said calmly, neither warm nor cold.
"Although it's embarrassing, there's no other way to resolve this matter except by asking someone from the Chinese pantheon."
No sooner had the words been spoken than a golden light fell down before anyone could grasp their meaning.
A soaring battle intent, no weaker than the opponent's death aura, suddenly descended.
A dazzling spear tip pierced through the light, and then, as the light gradually faded, a cool and aloof girl in red, riding on fiery wheels, flicked her spear in a flourish.
"Impersonators, dare you fight?"
It wasn't intentional procrastination; I've probably been too busy lately, which caused some dietary issues. I started having stomach problems around noon, and it hasn't gotten any better since. I've been to the bathroom three times while writing this chapter.
Today's update will be on, but the exact time is hard to say. I need to take a break after uploading this chapter.
The author is going to the hospital; update notes are free.
At first, it was just frequent trips to the toilet, but then the situation worsened and I started having watery stools. My stomach was upset and I felt nauseous, and my anus was also painful. Now I have to go to the toilet every four or five minutes. I guess it's impossible to update tonight, and my plan to resume updating the old book today has also been interrupted.
I'm going to the hospital emergency room later, so I'll be taking a break from today's update.
Chapter 280 Enma's Defeat 1/3
"Who are you"
The woman, known as Yama, paused for a moment, and her tone of voice changed slightly.
Everyone present stared at the suddenly appearing girl's figure, and for a moment they were all a little confused, but a few people had a feeling that she was very familiar.
Nezha tilted his head, his deliberately sideways gaze filled with disdain.
"Scared"
"Ridiculous! What do you think you, a mere heroic spirit, could possibly accomplish!"
The usually willful and authoritative voice of Enma sounded extremely furious, but there was also an underlying sense of embarrassment and anger.
Nezha's gaze was cold and aloof as he lightly touched the ground with the tip of his spear.
Whoosh! The overwhelming flames engulfed everything.
"A futile effort."
Enma suddenly calmed down, and with a cold wave of his hand, his chilling aura instantly neutralized the flames.
Even the aftershocks of a casual move caused others to feel pressure; this was the dimensional difference between those at the highest and those at the lowest level.
Thinking about it this way, Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro's willingness to join forces to stop Yamamoto was not only due to their confidence in their own strength, but also probably because the Captain-Commander was reluctant to use D-Solution and because of their teacher-student relationship.
As he pondered this, Aizen also began to reflect on his own actions.
Over the years, they have been hiding their strength too much, mostly playing against weaker opponents, and rarely facing strong opponents of a higher level. This has led to some inaccurate assessments of strength.
At the same time, Aizen also gained a deeper understanding of magic in the Type-Moon world.
