Crossover Anime: Starting with Bankai from Demon Slayer

Chapter 170 Support

Matsumoto Rangiku suddenly looked up, her pupils instantly contracting.

At some point, a mutated phantom, several times larger than before and resembling a giant ape, climbed to the towering top of the bridge.

Its entire body was covered in thick bone armor, from which flowed a viscous, corrosive, dark green venom. Its pair of giant, scarlet eyes were already locked on Shinobu Kocho in the battle formation below.

It opened its enormous mouth, filled with fangs, and deep within its throat, dark green light frantically condensed and compressed, radiating a terrifying wave of destruction.

That's a highly concentrated Cero!

"Damn it!" Without thinking, Matsumoto Rangiku instantly transformed the gray cat into sand mist, soaring into the sky like a waterfall flowing backward, attempting to intercept it.

But the distance was too great, and the giant ape was clearly planning this for a long time, its condensation speed far exceeding expectations!

Just as that destructive dark green beam of light was about to erupt, "Binding Spell #81: Severing the Void!"

A calm male voice, tinged with a touch of cynicism, suddenly rang out over the battlefield.

Om-!

A hexagonal light barrier, radiating pure spiritual light, instantly appeared between the giant ape and the battlefield below!

Boom!!

The deafening roar shook the entire bridge!

The holographic flash, powerful enough to erode steel and melt spirits, crashed violently into the dazzling light barrier.

The malevolent green energy burst forth, like a torrential downpour, but was firmly blocked by the seemingly thin wall of light.

The energy flow splashed and shot out along the arc of the light wall, corroding the surrounding bridge structure with a hissing sound and billowing thick smoke.

But after the light barrier was lifted, everyone, including Asuka and Shinobu, was safe and sound!

This sudden and powerful ghostly defense was astonishing in its intensity, timing, and precision!

Moreover, it seems he can instantly cast high-level demonic arts!

Everyone looked up in astonishment.

Suddenly, a figure appeared on the cable on the side of the bridge.

He wore a simple light green coat and a fox mask with a pointed nose that covered most of his face, revealing only his stubble-covered chin.

A terrifying spiritual power, as vast as the deep ocean, spread out without reservation, instantly suppressing all the chaotic spiritual pressure fluctuations on the battlefield.

Both the raging Hollows and the fiercely fighting Shinigami froze for a moment.

The air seemed to freeze, leaving only the masked man's imposing aura that weighed heavily on the soul.

Captain-level! First-class Spirit Might! Rangiku was greatly shocked.

Who is this?

The fox-man's palm still held traces of spiritual energy from the powerful binding spell he had just unleashed. He casually leaped down and landed lightly among the crowd.

"Oh my, it's so lively!"

Kisuke Urahara's voice came through the mask, carrying his usual flippancy.

Shinobu subconsciously looked at Asuka, only to see Asuka looking at Urahara wearing a mask, raising her eyebrows strangely, but saying nothing.

"Vice-Captain Matsumoto, and everyone in the 10th Division, thank you for your hard work. But now..." He tilted his head slightly, the pointed nose of his fox mask pointing towards the chaotic battlefield, "How about you listen to my commands? It'll be more efficient."

"Where did this madman come from!"

"Who are you! Why are you at such a high level of ghost cultivation? And why are you being so secretive!"

The two hot-headed team members questioned him, but were immediately punched on the head by Rangiku's old fists.

Those two idiots! If they really had ulterior motives, would we even have a chance to fight back before reaching the first level of spiritual power?

If the person in front of them truly harbored ill intentions, their 10th Division combat squad, along with the mysterious man and the 6th seat of the 4th Division, would probably not even have a chance to struggle.

A conspiracy? Faced with such an absolute disparity in strength, wouldn't it be pointless to resort to conspiracies?

She took a deep breath, suppressing her churning doubts and wariness of the unknown.

As the highest-ranking deputy captain on the scene, it is her duty to assess the current situation, make decisions that are most beneficial to the battlefield, and ensure the safety of everyone.

"Your Excellency is absolutely right." Matsumoto Rangiku, her nerves taut, said, "Matsumoto Rangiku of the 10th Division will temporarily assume command. Please give your instructions!"

She raised her hand to stop the two team members behind her who were about to question her, conveying the command of obedience with her eyes.

Kisuke Urahara nodded in satisfaction, then turned his fox mask towards Asuka and Shinobu Kocho: "Hey buddy over there~ has the location of the Celestial Array you mentioned been locked?"

Everyone turned their attention to the bird.

Asuka felt no pressure from the gazes and casually unleashed a sword slash, shattering the giant ape who had just tried to ambush Shinobu Kocho.

He pointed diagonally at the tip of the sword: "Right above that! If you look closely, it's like a giant vortex!"

"Understood!" Urahara snapped his fingers, as if confirming a simple delivery address.

His gaze immediately shifted to Matsumoto Rangiku, his tone instantly becoming authoritative: "Vice-Captain Matsumoto, tactical change! Execute the following orders immediately!"

"First: All combat squad members! Objective: Create an absolute safe zone for the Kido Squad! Eliminate all Hollows approaching our formation, especially those with ranged attack capabilities and regeneration properties!"

"Use defensive formations to push open the front line and draw the main threat away from the center! Don't aim to kill them; focus on isolating and driving them away!"

"Your mission is to ensure that the area behind me remains undisturbed from this point on!"

Matsumoto Rangiku immediately looked at the two experienced team members and directed them to carry out the orders.

"Second: All members of the Kido Squad!" Urahara pointed to the Kido experts of the 10th Division: "Assemble immediately behind me! Form a 'triangle cone' resonance formation!"

"Transfer all the spiritual power you can muster to me without reservation! Note, transfer, not release! Maintaining a stable and continuous flow of spiritual pressure is paramount! I need a sufficiently large and controllable energy source!"

The command was clear and urgent, and all team members understood his instructions.

The elite training of the 10th Division was on full display at this moment.

The combat squad members roared as they unleashed their Zanpakuto, forming a moving steel barrier centered on Rangiku. They forcefully pushed aside several mutated Hollows that tried to pounce, separated and drove away the other Hollows, clearing a relatively safe zone about ten meters in diameter behind them.

The members of the Kido Squad quickly formed a stable triangular pyramid formation with Urahara Kisuke's back as the apex.

They formed hand seals, and various spiritual pressure lights shone from their bodies, like stars ignited on the bridge.

Without holding back, they precisely and steadily directed their refined spiritual power through a specific Kido circuit to Kisuke Urahara in the center of the formation!

Buzz!

An immense spiritual pressure instantly formed behind Urahara, making his aura even stronger.

The air emitted a low rumble, and space seemed to distort slightly.

"Oh my, that's quite a generous portion." Kisuke Urahara's body seemed to become a conduit connecting heaven and earth, with a vast flow of spiritual energy swirling and dancing around him.

He slowly raised his right hand, fingers spread, aiming at the heavens: "A thousand hands' edge, an unreachable hand in the darkness, an archer of the heavens whose light cannot be reflected!"

"The path of radiant light, the wind that ignites the spark, let us gather without confusion, and follow my guidance!"

The massive torrent of spiritual particles surrounding him seemed to have found its final outlet, frantically converging on his raised arm.

The density and intensity of that spiritual pressure made the Kido Squad members who were standing close by feel suffocated!

"Light Bullet, Eight Bodies, Nine Stripes, Heavenly Scripture, Swift Treasure, Great Wheel, Gray Turret!"

"The bow is drawn and aimed into the distance, disappearing in a pristine, radiant glow!"

"Hado #91!" Kisuke Urahara's voice boomed like thunder, drowning out all the noise on the battlefield.

"Thousand-Armed Heavenly Cannon—!!"
