Chapter 262 The Gap is Too Big

On this day, the Double Killing Hill collapsed.

It was as if a mountain had disintegrated. Under the overwhelming bombardment of countless Zanpakutō, the Hill of Double Death collapsed without any suspense, turning into countless pieces of rubble that rolled to the ground.

Smoke and dust rose up and spread like a sandstorm.

"Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!"...

The Grim Reapers that were originally on the Double Killing Hill quickly fled out from the crumbling Double Killing Hill.

"Oh!"

A large area of ​​raging flames was also boiling from it, breaking through countless fallen rubble and flying out from the bombardment of countless Zanpakutō.

It was not until they left the collapse site that Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, who was in the flames, slowly emerged. His captain's haori and Shinigami suit had become tattered, revealing a body covered in scars. He looked a little disheveled.

"Captain!"

"Captain!"

Many Death Gods saw this scene and showed surprised expressions.

Obviously, they had never seen Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni in such a miserable state.

As the strongest god of death in a thousand years and currently the most powerful force in the entire Soul Society, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni represents not only the pinnacle of the god of death, but also the pinnacle of the entire Soul Society.

Even the Gotei 13 and the Shinō Academy of Spiritual Arts were founded by this person. The reason why Soul Society is in its current form can be said to be created by this person.

Such a person has survived for more than two thousand years and has been invincible in the world for a thousand years. How many people have seen him in such a miserable state?
Therefore, the God of Death who saw this scene was basically shocked, and his mind was in a state of shock for a moment.

However, reality is not determined by individual will.

A figure surrounded by countless swords rushed at a very fast speed and caught up with Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni in an instant. The Zanpakutō in his hand, which had countless phantoms of Zanpakutō that kept appearing and disappearing, suddenly chopped down and hit the Ryujin Jakka that Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni had hastily set up.

"boom!!!"

At the moment when the swords collided, there was no sound of metal, but instead a deafening roar.

The power formed by all the Zanpakutō in this world gathered together and exploded on the flaming Ryujin Jakka, causing the blade of the Ryujin Jakka to tremble and the blazing flames on it to be blown away and disappeared into sparks.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni only felt that he was blasted to the ground by an unrivaled force, crashing straight into the earth, smashing it to pieces and collapsing, stirring up billowing smoke and dust.

Aize, who was surrounded by countless swords, was ruthless, or rather, he was completely in an excited state. With the help of the unparalleled instant step technique, his body flashed down as if teleporting and rushed into the billowing smoke and dust.

"Bang!!!"

As if hit by a meteorite, the billowing smoke and dust were blown away in an instant, and the shattered and collapsed ground also encountered a second impact, raising countless dust and rubble, like a volcanic eruption.

Aize and Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni started a fierce battle in it, their swords intersected, their bodies staggered, and countless swords and fierce flames burst out.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's body was covered with wounds, but his eyes were burning with an unprecedentedly bright fire. While shouting angrily, he slashed out with Ryujin Jakka, causing endless flames to attack along with the slash, impacting and exploding again and again.

Even the captain-level Grim Reaper did not dare to face such fierce firepower, but Aize rushed into it without dodging, and headed straight for Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni in the face of the extremely fierce explosion.

The countless swords surrounding it shattered and gathered together, gathered and shattered again. After one sword shattered, another would immediately appear and block all the incoming explosions.

Relying on the protection of the Arrow Blade Matrix, Aize completely ignored the attack of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni. The Heavenly Crown King in his hand was carrying enormous power, and slashing with the power of all the Zanpakuto in the world. Every slash could set off a torrent of power, and knock Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni away.

"Bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-"

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's body smashed into countless rubble and rocks one after another, as if he was smashing into buildings, creating destruction.

“Haaaaaaah…!”

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's expression had become completely ferocious, like an angry King Kong. He roared and slashed out with Ryujin Jakka, making the flames grow bigger and stronger, trying to break through the arrow blade matrix on Aize's body.

But even for Ryujin Jakka, who is known to have the strongest attack power, it is almost impossible to break all the Zanpakutō in the world with one blow, at least it is impossible to do so in the state of Shikai. Therefore, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's attacks were basically in vain. On the contrary, each of Aize's attacks could burst out with tremendous power, constantly creating scars on Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's body.

“Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang——!!!”

Not long after, the countless swords surrounding Aize suddenly attacked under his control, turning into a violent offensive that enveloped Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, destroying, smashing and ravaging the earth.

“Ding ding ding ding ding…!”

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni wielded Ryujin Jakka and chopped off the attacking swords one after another, but there were too many swords, and even with his superb slashing skills, he could not block them all. So he could only dodge with instant steps, blocking and running away, allowing the swords to smash the ground or rocks around him.

"Puff!" "Puff!" "Puff!"...

After a while, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's defense gradually weakened, and some swords broke through his defense, brushing against his thighs, flanks and even cheeks, leaving deep bloody wounds on them.

Aize's figure rushed out from among the countless flying swords, holding the Heavenly Crown King, and slashed at Ryujin Jakka with one sword, dispersing the flames on Ryujin Jakka again and knocking Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni away.

The fighting figures of the two men moved from the original location of the Double Death Hill to a place several kilometers away in the blink of an eye. Everything they passed was caught up in the aftermath of the battle and was either destroyed or shattered, turning a large area into ruins.

This scene made countless spectators tremble.

"The captain... was suppressed?"

The Grim Reapers couldn't believe their eyes.

Even the captains of the Gotei 13 are like this.

"That person...has he become so strong?"

SoiFong, Kyoraku Shunsui, Ukitake Jushiro and others who have worked with Aize for decades were all deeply shocked.

They knew that Aize was very strong, but they didn't expect that he was already so strong.

Can decades of time really make a student who just graduated from the Maou Spiritual Academy become so strong?

Or... is he just this strong?
"No! It's not!"

Many people were shouting in their hearts. Aize was very strong, and his growth over the past few decades was amazing, but the thing that really allowed him to unilaterally suppress Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, the strongest god of death in a thousand years, was his Zanpakutō, the Heavenly Crown King.

They all heard what Aize said and knew the true identity of the mysterious Zanpakuto.

He is the king of Zanpakuto, an existence that can gather the power of all Zanpakuto in the world into himself.

Its power is the power of all Zanpakuto in this world.

Its strike is equal to the strike of all the Zanpakutō in the world.

The more Zanpakutō there are in this world, the stronger the Heavenly Crown King is. The more Zanpakutō there are, the stronger the Heavenly Crown King is.

Even Ryujin Jakka is just one of all the Zanpakutō in the world. Even though it is the strongest and oldest Zanpakutō of the fire type, it can only be suppressed by all the Zanpakutō in the world combined.

Although the Heavenly Crown King only has the power of all the Zanpakuto in the world and does not have their special abilities, even if it is just pure strength, it is definitely not something that a mere Zanpakuto can match.

Everyone even saw that when Aize was attacking, he would sometimes grab one of the countless Zanpakutō surrounding him and either throw it or attack it. Just like Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro, he displayed a two-sword style of fighting. His fighting style was changeable and varied, which sometimes made Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, the extremely experienced leader of the Shinigami, unable to react in time and almost got seriously injured.

The difference in strength between Aize before he released his Zanpakutō and Aize after he released his Zanpakutō is too huge.

It was so big that countless death gods felt that Aize was now showing his true strength.

This perception is basically correct.

After all, there is a huge difference between Aize with weapons in his hands and Aize without weapons in his hands.

Before being liberated, the Heavenly Crown King was just a gorgeous and noble Zanpakutō. After being liberated, it suddenly burst out with the power of all the Zanpakutō in the world. How strong is this power?
Aize's authority is to enable him to perfectly exert the full power of the weapons in his hands.

This power is equivalent to the combined power of all the Zanpakuto in the world, and in his hands, it burst out without any leakage.

Therefore, he suppressed Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni without any suspense, changed his previous downward trend, became stronger and more powerful.

The captains were right. For Aize, who had ultimate authority over weapons, he showed his true strength only after releasing his Zanpakutō. There was basically no difference between him before releasing his Zanpakutō and when he was without a weapon.

Under such circumstances, a one-sided suppression war that shocked all the Death Gods appeared before their eyes.

"Bang!!!"

The raging flames spread like a raging fireball, colliding with countless swords and knives, and then exploded under the impact and destruction of countless swords and knives, and sprinkled down from the sky.

From afar, it looked like a flaming meteor streaking across the sky, and the blazing flames exploded into countless flames, sprinkling onto the earth.

The Sky Crown King in Aize's hand struck down like a thunderbolt, and the torrent of power it carried crushed the flames on the Ryujin Jakka and knocked down Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, knocking Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni down from mid-air. Even when his feet landed on the ground, he still crushed the ground and stepped out a big deep pit.

"cough……!"

Finally, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni coughed up blood again, his knees went weak, and he couldn't help but kneel on one knee on the ground.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni subconsciously wanted to stand up, but found that his legs had lost strength and he could not stand up at all.

This made an incredible look appear in his eyes.

“…Old man, you can’t even stand up?”

How long?
How long has it been since I was beaten like this?
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was feeling incredible emotions and suddenly found that his breathing became extremely rapid.

"As expected, you are getting old, Captain Yamamoto."

Aize descended from the sky with countless swords and landed in front of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

"After all, we have been fighting for more than two thousand years. Even you are no longer at your peak."

There is no doubt that Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's ability as a god of death has reached its limit.

If the abilities of the God of Death were quantified, with a full score of 100, then Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni would definitely have achieved a full score of 100 in all aspects.

Whether it was slashing techniques, byakutsu, shunpo, Kidō, or even the development and use of Zanpakutō, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni scored full marks.

The same goes for spiritual pressure. Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's spiritual power level is definitely the highest. He is undoubtedly a first-class spiritual power. There is no one in Soul Society or even in Hueco Mundo who can match him.

However, even if Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, who possessed first-class spiritual power and spiritual strength stronger than anyone else, had survived for more than two thousand years, he must have passed his prime and entered a period of aging.

This captain, who possesses overwhelming abilities in all areas, must be physically unable to cope with the situation due to his advanced age.

In other words, the battle was too intense and the elderly captain could no longer sustain it.

The evidence is that Aize seemed to be in great ease, without even taking a breath, while Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was already panting, as if he was at the end of his strength.

"I'm afraid the only way you can defeat me now is with Bankai, right?"

Ai Ze held the Heavenly Crown King in his hand, looked at Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, and said something meaningful.

"How about... you try Bankai again?"

Aize's remarks were no different from a provocation.

In response, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was not angry, but just spoke with a sneer.

"Why would I need Bankai to deal with a mere little devil?"

This response did not surprise Aize.

"That's right." Aize said without any surprise: "Ryujin Jakka's Bankai is extremely dangerous even for the entire Soul Society."

"How can you, who want to protect the order of Soul Society, use it casually?"

"If you are not careful, Soul Society will be destroyed in your own hands."
