Crossover Anime: Starting with Bankai from Demon Slayer

Chapter 172 Destiny

Crack—Boom!

The magic circle, which had only been cracked, completely collapsed, and a gigantic black maw that seemed capable of devouring everything took shape in the sky.

An indescribable, terrifying suction force descended instantly.

This suction force is no longer directed at the void, but at all spiritual entities.

The residual ghost energy in the air and the spiritual particles in the atmosphere began to fly uncontrollably toward that vortex.

The Death Squad members, who were running, felt their bodies become incredibly heavy, as if an invisible hand was dragging them down from behind.

"Ah!!" An injured team member slipped and his body was instantly lifted off the ground, flying into the sky.

"Grab him!!"

His companions reacted quickly, using ropes made of bindings to hold him tightly. It took several people working together to barely pull him back to the ground.

"Don't look back! Run!!"

Kisuke Urahara was at the back of the group, constantly wielding Benihime and using spiritual pressure slashes to shatter the invisible gravitational waves that tried to entangle him.

"Asuka! Hurry up!"

Shinobu Kocho grabbed Asuka's hand and called out anxiously.

Asuka nodded, then gripped Shinobu's hand tightly: "Let's go!"

The two exerted their strength simultaneously, using the Instant Step technique to escape rapidly towards the outskirts of the city.

But just as they were about to rush out of the suburbs...

Suddenly, Asuka felt the Fullbringer runes on her skin, which had previously disappeared, suddenly become as hot as a branding iron.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!

A sharp burning sensation instantly spread throughout my body.

Hmm!

The bird let out a muffled groan, its high-speed movement abruptly halting in mid-air as if it had crashed into an invisible wall.

"A bird?!"

Shinobu Kocho was propelled several meters forward by inertia. When she felt the pull in her hand disappear, she turned around in horror.

The bird hovered in mid-air, its body as stiff as a sculpture.

On his exposed skin outside the shihachi suit, the black lines seemed to come alive.

The black lines spread wildly, emitting an eerie light, and soon covered the entire body.

And this black light actually resonated with the black vortex in the sky that was devouring everything in some terrifying way!

Om-!

A visible black energy beam shot down from the center of the vortex, precisely enveloping the bird.

"What...is this?!"

The bird was horrified to discover that it could not move.

The old man's Fullbring technique was used to conceal his aura, to make his spiritual pressure disappear.

However, due to the influence of evil energy, the patterns were branded.

At this very moment, the malevolent intent emanating from the magic array actually followed the patterns on his body, as if it were tracking coordinates!

"Damn it... at this time..."

"9

Asuka gritted her teeth, desperately channeling her spiritual pressure to break free of the restraints.

But this force is too immense.

Not only because the Fullbring technique had just been completed and was at its most effective stage, but also because the power within it was extremely domineering, locking down his spiritual pressure fluctuations so that he couldn't resist in the slightest.

That was a suppressive force emanating from the entire plane, a grand will powerful enough to crush every individual.

The black markings on his body were like chains, deeply embedded in his flesh.

Even the Zanpakuto was suppressed by this power, emitting mournful cries.

"Asuka!!"

Upon seeing this, Shinobu Kocho turned back without hesitation, wanting to rush into the black pillar of light to save him.

"Don't come any closer!!"

The bird's eyes widened in fury as it roared loudly.

"This is aimed at me! You'll be sucked in too!!"

But Shinobu Kocho wouldn't listen. Her slender sword glowed purple as she stabbed fiercely at the pillar of light.

clang!!

With a crisp sound, the rapier was deflected, and Shinobu Kocho was sent flying backward by the huge recoil, crashing heavily to the ground.

"Endure!" Asuka cried out, enduring the pain.

"Oh dear, this is truly... the worst possible situation."

Kisuke Urahara appeared beside Shinobu Kocho and helped her up.

He looked at the bird locked by the black beam of light, his face extremely grim.

"That magic circle... it was used as a 'wedge' to correct this distorted spacetime."

Urahara's voice was low and urgent: "The Fullbring marks on his body are merging with the malevolent intent of that magic circle..."

"9

"If this connection isn't severed, he'll be torn to pieces and reduced to pure spiritual particles!"

"Then cut it off! Mr. Fox! You must have a way, right?!" Butterfly clung tightly to Urahara's sleeve, her eyes filled with desperate pleading.

Urahara gripped Benihime's hand tightly.

"There's probably only one way!"

He looked at the flying bird, a resolute glint in his eyes.

"Bird! Can you hear me!"

Urahara channeled his spiritual pressure, and his voice pierced through the roar, reaching Asuka's ears.

"To avoid being sucked in, you'll probably need to unleash your full power and find a way to stop the black hole from swallowing you up!"

"I don't know if it will work... but this is the only gamble I have!!"

The bird struggled to raise its head in the beam of light.

Forget about this and that, let's just do it!

Even if my soul is scattered, it's better than becoming a stone used to mend the sky here!

and...

He glanced at Shinobu Kocho, who was still struggling in the distance, unwilling to leave.

If I don't sever this connection, this suction force will eventually engulf the entire area, and then I won't be able to leave!

The bird took a deep breath, its lungs feeling as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

He closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking infinitely.

Hmm? The black-haired youth's half-open eyes narrowed, his pupils flickering slightly.

"Sigh... Is this fate...?"

In the end, the bird sank into that pure white mirror world!

"Hey! You bastard, White Shadow!"

He growled inwardly.

"No matter who you are..."

'

"There's no time to go through the procedures now!"

"If you don't lend me your power, we're all doomed!"

"Understood, you bastard."

boom-!

As if in response to his determination, an unprecedented spiritual pressure suddenly erupted from Asuka's body.

This spiritual pressure was so great that even the colorless Fullbring technique could not suppress it, and visible spiritual energy surged across the body's surface.

An even more ancient and violent chaotic force, a mixture of life and death, illusion and reality, creation and destruction, began to surge within him.

"This! This is..." Urahara was stunned.

He seemed to recognize something.

Asuka's skin began to crack, and blood instantly stained her Shinigami uniform.

But the Zanpakuto in his hand let out an extremely joyful roar.

The black markings on the blade began to spread wildly, instantly covering the entire blade and even extending to the bird's arm.

"卍!! Solution!!"

The bird suddenly opened its eyes.

His eyes had turned completely golden, with no whites and no pupils.

Only endless golden flames resounded in my eyes.

Sizzle—!!

No one could see what happened.

That was a strike powerful enough to sever even the concept of "common sense".

All that could be seen was that the magic array that spanned the heavens and the earth had actually been cleaved open!

Then, roaring golden-red flames ignited half the sky!
