Fairy Tail: I Am the God

at the same time.

At another location, at the foot of the mountain, a group of uninvited guests had already arrived.

"Such formidable strength! It's no less powerful than that white-haired brat I encountered!"

Upon sensing this imposing aura, Orochimaru in the group narrowed his eyes, as if two arcs of light flashed past, and said in a high-pitched voice, "Hiss! Hiss! This aura... it should be that brat Kurosaki Ichigo's."

"In just two days, his strength has changed so dramatically. I really underestimated that kid Kurosaki Ichigo. He is definitely a genius in this world."

Jiraiya raised an eyebrow and clicked his tongue, saying, "No matter what, the power system of the Shinigami is not to be underestimated."

“Yes!” Tsunade and Mei Terumi nodded solemnly, agreeing with Jiraiya’s words.

"However, this might not be a bad thing for us!"

"How to say?"

"The stronger our allies are, the greater our chances of winning, right? Hehe."

"That makes sense!"

As they chatted, their figures flashed by, each step covering more than ten meters at incredible speed. The faint sound of wind whistling and the tearing of energy echoed in their ears.

Before long, the tiny figures gradually disappeared from the distance!

...

now.

"Bankai? How is this possible?" Byakuya Kuchiki's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Ichigo Kurosaki, who was caught in the spiritual pressure storm. He frowned and said with a frosty expression, "Only those who are Shinigami and have reached the pinnacle of power can have a certain chance of comprehending the ultimate secret of their Zanpakuto after putting in their heart and soul and effort."

In Soul Society, even among the four noble families who are born with extraordinary spiritual pressure that sets them apart from others, it is said that only one person in several generations can reach that level.

Without exception, those who can use it will have their names forever engraved in the history of Soul Society, leaving behind a magnificent legacy.

Lost in thought, sensing the spiritual pressure in the air, Byakuya Kuchiki stood there, his gaze, which had been looking down on him, now filled with astonishment and even a hint of disbelief. With a puzzled expression, he said, "But what's wrong with this kid? He absorbed Rukia's power and became a Shinigami. Not to mention nobles, even Shinigami can't be called one."

"Then why can he so easily talk about Bankai... and why can he release such terrifying spiritual pressure!"

"This is simply..."

Thinking of this, Byakuya Kuchiki's expression grew increasingly solemn. His face was like the chilling frost in an ice cellar, and his whole being exuded a terrifying aura, like a volcano about to erupt, with the surrounding power suppressed to the extreme.

"Om-"

The earth cracked and mountains collapsed; the atmosphere trembled!

The same scene, with an earth-shattering aura, happened to Ichigo Kurosaki.

The battle between the two sides was like a lit bomb, ready to explode at any moment!

Once his spiritual pressure had accumulated to a certain level, Kurosaki Ichigo coldly and solemnly declared, "Bankai!"

The moment he finished speaking, he pointed his sword, and a white bandage, fluttering in the wind, coiled around Ichigo Kurosaki's right arm like a snake.

Under the watchful eyes of Byakuya Kuchiki and everyone else, Zangetsu itself emitted a white light like the bright moon, and violent lightning burst forth along the edge of the blade.

"boom--"

In an instant, a white rainbow shot out, shattering rocks and collapsing the sky, carrying immense power as it rushed towards Byakuya Kuchiki and engulfed him.

Before the aftershocks had even subsided, new storms were brewing.

"call--"

A strong wind swept through, sending yellow mud, sand, and gravel flying into the sky like a hurricane, soaring towards the heavens.

Among them, white lightning flashed, extremely dazzling in the dust and mist, as if tearing the entire world apart, a terrifying and horrifying sight.

Chapter 136 Heavenly Lock and Moon Slayer

suddenly.

The yellow hurricane that soared into the sky, reaching a height of a thousand meters, trembled violently once more and suddenly broke apart.

The entire dark sky, like water from a pool with its plug pulled out, burst forth with a swirling, chaotic current of air that began to surge violently.

And at the heart of the storm was where Ichigo Kurosaki stood!

Its overwhelming power and might intimidated all directions.

Fortunately.

As the dust settled, Byakuya Kuchiki was revealed to be unharmed, his black robes fluttering in the wind.

The pink barrier in front of him, formed by countless cherry blossoms, collapsed in no time under the gravitational pull of the wind!

A shower of petals filled the air, and fallen leaves mingled in profusion.

Byakuya Kuchiki stared at Ichigo Kurosaki with a solemn expression, his eyes flashing with a hint of shock. He remained frozen in place without uttering a word.

That aura was undoubtedly the spiritual pressure possessed only by a captain-level individual.

Has Ichigo Kurosaki really achieved Bankai?!

Thinking about this, his cheek stung a little!

I just said that Ichigo Kurosaki would never be able to master Bankai, but I didn't expect to be proven wrong so quickly!

...

In front.

Kurosaki Ichigo landed with his sword, parting the surrounding dust and mist. What had originally resembled a large cleaver, the white Zangetsu, had completely transformed after Bankai, becoming a slightly longer, jet-black Japanese sword.

A pure black outfit, contrasting with the black sword.

He appeared clean and efficient, wielding the Moon Slayer sword like a lone traveler in the night, out of place with the world, possessing an extraordinary demeanor and overwhelming power.

He waved it gently.

"Om-"

The blade was covered with a chilling white light, and a clear, resonant sound rang out. An invisible pressure suddenly arose in the void, sweeping across all directions and scattering the remaining sand and dust in the world.

The world has been restored to its former clarity!

"Heavenly Lock Slashes the Moon".

Standing with his sword in hand in the breeze, Kurosaki Ichigo glanced sideways at Byakuya, striking a pose of great style, and said with a touch of nonchalant arrogance.

Upon hearing Ichigo Kurosaki's words and glancing at him a few times, Byakuya Kuchiki's expression froze, and he stood there stunned for a few seconds.

and many more.

This...this is your Bankai?!

There was no overwhelming or terrifying aura, no horrifying or invincible creatures, and no other horrifying phenomena...

Everything was calm and peaceful, as if nothing had changed.

"Flashy!"

Seeing this, Byakuya Kuchiki frowned slightly, a hint of anger appearing on his face. He clenched his fists, making a cracking sound.

So all this time I waited, and you just showed off like this to make me watch this?!

"what is that?"

After a long pause, Byakuya Kuchiki finally spoke with a grim expression: "You dare to call something so small a Bankai! It's just an ordinary Zanpakuto!"

He had never seen a Shinigami who possessed this type of Bankai; it was completely unchanged.

After thinking for a moment, Kuchiki Byakuya took a deep breath, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes, filled with killing intent, and said indifferently, "So that's how it is. Whether it's Getsuga Tenshou or Tensa Zangetsu, it seems you really enjoy trampling on our dignity."

With each word uttered, Byakuya unleashed a chilling, undisguised captain-level aura from his eyes, his overwhelming power crushing the entire world.

This time, he wasn't going to play hide-and-seek with Ichigo Kurosaki anymore; it was too boring, and he was also getting a little impatient.

"Go to hell!"

The cherry blossoms, with a single glance from Byakuya Kuchiki, cascaded down like waves, an unstoppable torrent of steel, the cherry blossoms swirling wildly.

The entire world was swallowed up by it!

Extremely terrifying.

However, in the next instant, the plot completely reversed.

"Whoosh!!"

As soon as Kurosaki Ichigo moved, he seemed to merge into space, moving with incredible speed and without a sound. Kuchiki Byakuya didn't even notice before he was suddenly subdued.

This result caused Byakuya's pupils to contract sharply, and an expression of disbelief and shock appeared in his eyes.

In an instant, there was no time to react.

Even Senbonzakura can't keep up, how is that possible!?

How could such terrifying speed appear on Ichigo Kurosaki? Is this really his Bankai?

So-called speed!

No, impossible, absolutely impossible...

Kuchiki Byakuya's eyes flickered, his heart filled with disbelief or doubt. Of course, this was merely wishful thinking on his part. Kurosaki Ichigo was unaware of this, and even if he had, he would have simply smiled.
