They traveled through time at the same time, but the villainous scientist

Chapter 246 Purpose Achieved
"torch!"

With his Shikai, Yamamoto pointed Ryujin Jakka forward, and the towering flames instantly transformed into a thick fire tornado, roaring as it completely engulfed and enveloped Mayuri Kurotsuchi.

The cage of flames spun wildly, its internal temperature instantly soaring to six thousand degrees, creating an inescapable inferno.

A raging pillar of fire stood between heaven and earth, distorting the surrounding air with its intense heat. Even the Grim Reapers in the distance could feel the burning pain on their skin, and they all exclaimed in awe.

"As expected of the Captain-General!"

"That traitor is dead!"

"Oh? As expected of the strongest Shinigami..."

Feeling the scorching heat that was enough to distort the laws of nature, Aizen on the other side smiled knowingly.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's power undoubtedly surpasses that of all Shinigami, but precisely because of this, he can't use his full strength.

The identity of a guardian is both his glory and his heaviest shackle.

"What are you looking at, Aizen?!"

Seeing that Aizen still had the leisure to watch the battle on the other side, Toshiro Hitsugaya's anger completely erupted.

He could naturally sense the difference in strength between himself and Aizen; the latter had been toying with him from beginning to end, like a cat playing with a mouse.

This humiliation was worse than death!
Since that's the case... then let's use everything we have!
"Swastika—Daigurren Hyōrinmaru!"

With a roar, an extremely cold spiritual pressure soared into the sky, creating a stark contrast with the intense heat of Ryujin Jakka.

Giant ice wings unfolded behind Hitsugaya, and three ice crystal petals quietly emerged.

He pointed the tip of his blade directly at Aizen, and endless cold air transformed into ice dragons that converged from all directions, instantly engulfing Aizen's figure and freezing it into a giant ice cross connecting heaven and earth!
Seeing the two vicious traitors, one imprisoned by the Captain-Commander's flames and the other frozen by the Tenth Division Captain's Bankai, the Shinigami present finally breathed a sigh of relief, and some even let out suppressed cheers.

However, before their cheers could subside, a sudden change occurred.

Around Yamamoto's fiery tornado, the ruins of buildings shattered by the sword and the scattered rubble began to emit a faint blue light. Then, at a speed visible to the naked eye, they decomposed and transformed into a torrent of purest spiritual particles.

"This is... a Spirit Particle affiliation?!"

Upon seeing this, Yamamoto Genryusai's expression changed drastically.

Death itself is a spirit, and the essence of its growth is to absorb spiritual particles from the outside world, imprint them with its own soul, and ultimately form spiritual pressure.

Slash, punch, walk, and demon—all are techniques that utilize one's own spiritual pressure.

The technology before us that directly decomposes matter and absorbs external spiritual particles for its own use... is the method of Quincy!

"Oh my, the Grim Reaper's fighting style is really crude and barbaric..."

"Aren't there more efficient and elegant ways to utilize spiritual particles?"

Mayuri Kurotsuchi's voice drifted from the flames.

Along with this sound, the enormous spiritual particles originating from the ruins rapidly reconstructed, transforming into an equally massive water dragon that roared as it crashed into the fiery tornado!

Sizzle—!!!
Water and fire are incompatible; a massive amount of steam erupted in an instant, forming a thick white fog that blotted out the sky, accompanied by a violent hissing sound, enveloping the entire battlefield.

Seeing this, Yamamoto subconsciously wanted to increase the output of Ryujin Jakka, using a more powerful flame to evaporate the water dragon along with the steam.

But when he glanced at the Grim Reaper beside him, writhing in agony from the heat and steam, and at the ruins of Seireitei beneath his feet, his tangled arms finally relaxed.

he can not……

A moment later, the fiery tornado and the water dragon were both annihilated in the fierce battle. The thick steam gradually dissipated, and Mayuri Kurotsuchi reappeared before everyone's eyes, completely unharmed, without even a single wrinkle on his clothes.

"This is really interesting..."

At the same time, Aizen's voice, full of admiration, came from within the enormous ice pillar.

As the words were spoken, a crisp cracking sound rang out, and the seemingly indestructible ice cross was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks.

"what?"

Hitsugaya's pupils constricted sharply, his face filled with disbelief.

Bang! ! !
The towering ice pillar shattered with a deafening roar, turning into countless shimmering ice shards. Aizen remained standing in the same spot, his hair perfectly styled.

He slowly raised his eyes, looked at the shocked Hitsugaya, and calmly declared:

"The farce must end."

Before he finished speaking, his figure vanished from the spot.

When it reappeared, it was already in front of Hitsugaya.

He didn't even draw his sword; he simply threw a punch casually.

With a single blow, the ice wings behind Hitsugaya shattered, as fragile as glass.

He didn't even have time to scream before he was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, and he completely lost consciousness in mid-air.

"Toshiro!"

Seeing this, Komamura Sajin's eyes widened in fury, and he roared as he activated his Bankai. "Bankai—Kurojuu Tenken Myōō!"

A gigantic black-armored warrior rose from the ground, his massive body casting a mountain-like shadow. The giant blade in his hand, capable of splitting mountains and cleaving seas, slashed down at Aizen with boundless fury and destructive power!

However, faced with this earth-shattering attack, Aizen simply extended one index finger.

The enormous blade came to an abrupt stop an inch above his head.

Time seemed to stand still.

Immediately afterward, starting from the point where the fingertip touched the blade, a huge crack spread out like lightning, instantly covering the entire giant blade.

"Chong-"

With a mournful cry, the Black Rope Heavenly Punishment King's giant blade shattered.

Aizen casually waved his hand, and a "Hado #33: Azure Fire Drop" spell, which was not chanted, roared out and slammed into the chest of the black-armored samurai, sending his massive body flying backward and disintegrating with a bang.

After doing all this, Aizen leisurely walked to Mayuri Kurotsuchi's side and looked with great interest at Yamamoto Genryusai, whose face had turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

"..."

Yamamoto did not speak, but the spiritual pressure emanating from his aged body was rising steadily, so violently that the surrounding space began to groan.

"Heh~ Shouldn't we be going by now?"

Mayuri Kurotsuchi, however, seemed oblivious to the earth-shattering pressure and asked Aizen.

"Yes, it's already finished over there."

Aizen nodded.

The moment he finished speaking, a dark crack appeared in the night sky above without warning.

The gap rapidly widened, revealing a bizarre and surreal scene on the other side, along with countless eyes hidden in the darkness, gleaming with a scarlet light.

It's all an illusion! Utterly an illusion!
Amidst the horrified gazes of all the Shinigami, several golden beams of light pierced through the cracks in the sky, like sacred spotlights, precisely enveloping Aizen and Mayuri Kurotsuchi.

"This is... a reverse coating?!"

Upon seeing this, Yamamoto's impending spiritual pressure abruptly halted.

He recognized the light; it was the absolute defense mechanism the Hollows used to save their comrades. Once enveloped in this light, the inside and outside would be completely isolated, and no attack could penetrate it.

Unless... he uses power sufficient to destroy this area, along with the entire Seireitei.

"..."

silence.

Dead silence.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni slowly lowered the Zanpakuto in his hand, the one that had once burned with raging flames.

The flames quietly died out.

He is the captain of the Gotei 13, whose mission is to protect the Seireitei.

He could only watch helplessly as the four figures, drawn by the golden beam of light, slowly rose into the air and disappeared into the dark crack.

The crack slowly closed.

All that was left was a mess...

……

The next day.

The atmosphere in the First Squad's barracks was so oppressive it felt as if it had frozen in place.

Wearing a straw hat and with an unusually solemn expression, Kyoraku Shunsui reported in a low voice to Yamamoto Genryusai, who was standing with his back to the window, the results of the investigation since the previous night.

"Teacher... it has been confirmed that all the sages and judges of the Central 46 have been killed, and their time of death was before the invasion of the travelers."

"The Twelfth Division's warehouse has been emptied; all research equipment and data have disappeared."

"Furthermore... the Third Division Captain Gin Ichimaru, the Ninth Division Captain Kaname Tōsen, and the Twelfth Division Lieutenant Nemu Kurotsuchi have been confirmed to have defected..."

Every word was like a heavy hammer, striking the foundation of Seireitei, a foundation built over a thousand years.

He then realized that from the moment Chamber 46 issued the order to arrest Rukia Kuchiki, it had all been a conspiracy.

He faked his death, manipulated people's hearts, seized the Hogyoku, calculated combat power, exploited the rules, and finally calmly left right under everyone's noses.

Yamamoto Genryusai listened quietly, without saying a word, but his expression grew increasingly gloomy...

"Pass the order to the whole team."

"From today onwards, the Gotei 13... enters a state of war."
