I'm in Bleach, starting with Unlimited Blade Works.

"boom!"

……

"Dong dong dong..."

At the Kuchiki residence, Kuchiki Ginryu took a few rapid breaths, then knocked on the wall in front of the bed.

"Lord Yinling."

"It's Liangma! What time is it now?"

"Lady Ginryo, it is now the third day since Lord Morikawa went to the mortal world."

"Three days already? No wonder I felt like I was about to give up."

The rotten wood and silver bells sighed softly.

"Where are Erin and Byakuya? Have they returned?"

"Reporting to Lady Silver Bell, the young master and his son-in-law have not yet returned."

"That's it..."

Rotten Wood Silver Bell struggled to sit up and leaned against the headboard.

"Forget it, mastering Bankai in three days is simply impossible."

"Erin and Byakuya haven't returned yet, so it seems that Byakuya's training this time was unsuccessful."

“I may not be able to hold out for long. If the son-in-law and Byakuya arrive soon, I won’t have time to give you orders.”

"Ryoma, go and send a message to Morikawa right now, and tell him to inform Haruko that I have decided to appoint Erin as the 28th head of the Kuchiki family."

"Finally, let Morikawa tell Haruko for me that I have wronged her in this life..."

"go quickly."

"Yes, Lady Silver Bell."

……

"Hahaha, sorry, sorry, Urahara, I didn't expect Byakuya's final burst of power to reach that level. Also, your Heavenly Canopy is too fragile."

Inside the underground base, Erin apologized to Kisuke Urahara, but his words seemed to belittle Urahara and praise Byakuya Kuchiki.

After all, Erin remembered that the canopy created by Aizen Sousuke in Hueco Mundo only prohibited Espada of the fourth rank and above from unleashing their power.

According to Erin's estimate, the Espada No. 4 and above possess the strength of a captain who has been around for a hundred years.

Byakuya's final sword strike possessed at most the power of the captains' Bankai.

After defeating Senbonzakura, they were unable to break through Urahara Kisuke's 81st Binding Spell, Danku.

However, the massive roar generated by the collision of that slash with the void directly sent hundreds of thousands of Senbonzakura blades flying, causing even greater secondary damage to the underground base.

Well, more importantly, the most important facility in this underground base, which is Urahara Kisuke's most prized creation, "Sky Canopy," was destroyed by the Senbonzakura blades that were scattered everywhere.

This shows that the "Heavenly Canopy" made by Aizen is stronger than the "Heavenly Canopy" made by Kisuke Urahara.

"Hado #20 - Radiant Sphere!"

Erin's voice rang out from the darkness.

Instantly, nine orbs of light, each the size of a washbasin, appeared around Erin. Under Erin's control, these nine orbs slowly rose into the air, radiating dazzling light and dispelling the darkness within the underground base.

Seeing that Kisuke Urahara seemed to have lost his dreams, Erin offered a few words of comfort.

"Alright, Urahara, the quality of the canopy you made this time is too poor. It can't even withstand the blade of the mere Senbonzakura."

"Remember to add a defensive barrier next time you make it. That way, even a captain-level attack will have a hard time damaging the canopy."

However, before Erin could finish speaking, Kisuke Urahara grabbed his hand.

"Oh? Since Captain Erin also has knowledge of the 'Sky Canopy', then please ask Captain Erin to repair the Sky Canopy that was damaged by your nephew."

"what?"

"Captain Erin, you don't want me to leave Byakuya-sama here with me to repair the sky canopy, and make Ginryu-sama disappointed in you and Byakuya-sama, do you?"

"Urahara, you..."

Under pressure, Erin ultimately had no choice but to stay and work with Kisuke Urahara to repair the canopy of the underground base.

Fortunately, the two Shinigami most skilled at creating "Heavenly Canopies," Kisuke Urahara and Sosuke Aizen, both possessed Zanpakuto from Erin's collection, and Erin had completely absorbed their battle memories.

The creation of the Heavenly Canopy is not part of the battle memories, but Erin can still glean some insights from the two's mastery of the Kido (Demon Arts) and deduce the creation technique of the "Heavenly Canopy".

With Erin's current mastery of Kido, no one in Soul Society can compare to him.

Chapter 83 Wrath, Turning Against Each Other

In particular, Erin's mastery of Kido comes from the masters more than two hundred years later. Even Urahara Kisuke's Kido seems a bit immature in comparison to Erin's.

At first, Erin was just assisting Kisuke Urahara, filling in any gaps in his skills.

But later, seeing that the three days agreed upon with Kuchiki Ginrin were about to arrive, Erin simply kicked Urahara Kisuke aside and set up the barrier by herself to complete the creation of the canopy.

"It's finally done."

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Erin let out a soft sigh.

Then, Erin channeled his spiritual pressure into the barrier in the sky.

"Om..."

In an instant, the soil and gravel above the underground base, which had been clearly illuminated by the celestial sphere, transformed into blue sky and white clouds.

Even a slight breeze in the underground base would cause the white clouds in the sky to sway gently.

"Amazing!"

Even Kisuke Urahara had to admit that his prized Kido style was no match for Erin's.

How exactly did this guy cultivate?

Kisuke Urahara's regard for Erin's abilities increased even further.

The four techniques of the Grim Reaper—the Slashing Fist and the Demonic Path—are far more demanding to master than the other three.

Whether it's free fighting, slashing techniques, or instant step, the requirements for the training space are not high. As long as there is an open space, you can train by yourself.

But the path of ghosts is different.

Kido, especially high-level Kido, has astonishing destructive power; even a single use can cause significant damage to the area.

To cultivate a demonic path to the point of abandoning chanting, one must practice over a thousand times and become thoroughly familiar with the spiritual structure of that demonic path.

Kisuke Urahara estimated that even if Erin abandoned chanting Kido No. 90 or higher, he could still possess at least one-third of the power of a complete Kido, given that he could create such a precise and vast Kido barrier.

Even at the Shinigami Academy, the students only practice low-level Kido techniques below number 30. Occasionally, they might practice a few Kido techniques with slightly higher numbers, but before they can be released, they must be supervised by their teachers.

Otherwise, the vast True Central Spiritual Arts Academy would probably have been destroyed by the students using Kido long ago.

Kisuke Urahara's current mastery of Kido is also thanks to his Zanpakuto, "Benhime".

Kisuke Urahara's Bankai, "Kannon Kai Benihime Kai," can reshape anything it touches.

This spacious underground base was created by Kisuke Urahara's Bankai, and its secrecy and practicality are self-evident.

Here, when practicing the Kido (demonic arts), no matter how much damage is caused, Kisuke Urahara can completely restore the damaged environment.

After being threatened by Erin, Kisuke Urahara and Yoruichi gathered a lot of information about Erin.

Kisuke Urahara believes that Erin's true Bankai is most likely an excellent auxiliary training ability.

Judging from Byakuya's performance in the past two days, it's clear that his Zanken Zouki is in no way inferior to some captain-level powerhouses.

Byakuya, on the other hand, only received three months of instruction from Erin.

Erin, who can activate Bankai training at any time, is truly more astonishing in terms of strength.

Even if Kisuke Urahara was very confident in himself, he didn't think he had much of a chance against Erin.

The unknown is always frightening.

According to existing information, Erin has used several Zanpakuto, including the Tessaiga, which can unleash wind-based slashes; the Bakusaiga, which controls lightning; the Tenchuan Tsurugi, which shone brightly when killing Hoshino Hibiki; and the Goshin Omni, which he used when examining Gikai...

It seems that no matter what the situation, Captain Erin can always pull out his Zanpakuto to break through the corresponding situation.

It was precisely because of this uncertainty that Kisuke Urahara and Yoruichi chose to help Erin in exchange for Erin's favor.

Now it seems that because of this favor, there is less suspicion between them than before, and they actually get along quite well.

"I'm so exhausted..."

Stretching, Erin loosened up his muscles and said, "Urahara, hurry up and check it out. If there are no problems, I'll be taking Byakuya with me."

"Yeah, no problem."

"On the contrary, Captain Erin truly lives up to his name; I am ashamed of my own inferiority."

"Then we won't bother you any longer."

"It's getting late. If Grandpa Yinling suddenly has a change of heart, I'll be in big trouble."

"See you."

"See you."

……

"Father-in-law, we're back."

Because they were in a hurry, Erin carried Byakuya directly to the Kuchiki residence.

After entering Kuchiki Ginryu's bedroom, Erin tossed Byakuya aside and said to the old man leaning against the headboard, "Let's test him out, Father-in-law."

"Byakuya has completed his Bankai training. Now, he's qualified to take on the responsibilities of the Kuchiki family, right?"

"what?"

Upon hearing Erin's words, Kuchiki Ginrin immediately turned her gaze to Byakuya: "Byakuya, is what your uncle said true?"

At this moment, Byakuya got up from the ground, straightened his clothes, and when he saw his grandfather looking at him, Kuchiki Byakuya immediately adjusted his posture and knelt down in front of Kuchiki Ginrin.

Over the years, Byakuya has been groomed by Kuchiki Ginrin as the heir of the Kuchiki family. Putting aside everything else, he has mastered the manners of a nobleman.
