Crossover Anime: Starting with Bankai from Demon Slayer

Chapter 350 The Yuanzi Academy in Another World

A distant shore in time and space.

The seventh level of Creation Mountain, which should have been towering high and overlooking the entire colorful world, was now shrouded in thick black clouds.

There were no stars or moon in the sky, only a suffocating, roaring chaotic storm.

This is the source of all evil that has polluted the entire Creation Mountain, the domain of Dark Lord, the King of the Demon Realm.

In this desolate wasteland where even light can be swallowed, several figures are enduring immense pressure, steadfastly gazing at the colossal demon god before them.

One of them, with white hair and beard, was calmly observing the other person while using a katana as a cane.

It was Yamamoto Genryusai.

For the Captain-Commander, who had lived for thousands of years and witnessed countless changes in the Soul Society, the few days that had passed were but a fleeting moment.

But his experiences at Chuangjie Mountain these past few days stirred up long-dormant emotions in his aging heart.

He still remembered it, in the second layer of the lava sea.

As he unleashed Ryujin Jakka, preparing to reduce these strangely shaped new Hollows, along with the entire mountain, to ashes.

The human boy, Wataru Ikusabe, disregarded everything and stood in front of his blade.

Those clear, innocent eyes, and that determination to protect their companions despite their fear...

Yamamoto managed to stop the blade, which was powerful enough to cleave through the void, at the last moment.

In the ensuing conversation, Yamamoto Genryusai finally understood the current situation.

The colorful yet riddled world before him was not the world he was familiar with, and those enormous creations were not Hollows made by Aizen, but rather a special kind of combat weapon of this world.

More importantly, he learned that the boy in front of him, named Xiaodu, was not a native of this world, just like him.

He is the savior summoned by the gods of this world from a place called the "Present World".

"Humans in this world...."

'

After learning the truth, Yamamoto Genryusai gazed at the distant sky for a long time.

The arrogant words Aizen uttered on Sōkyō Hill still echoed in his ears. He had to return to Soul Society as soon as possible to stop Aizen's insane ambition that would overturn the order of the three worlds.

Although he was powerful, he didn't know what to do.

The only way to break this deadlock seems to be to help the human boy in front of us save Mount Sokai, and then try to open a path back to Soul Society by using that power that connects dimensions.

Thus, the supreme commander of the 13th Gotei 13 temporarily became a member of this small punitive expeditionary force.

The third layer, the fourth layer, the fifth layer...

Unstoppable momentum.

Those were the level guardians and powerful demon gods who should have put Xiaodu and the others in a tough battle, or even brought them to the brink of death.

With the combined efforts of Yamamoto Genryusai and Kotori, it was as fragile as a paper puppet in a child's hand, easily destroyed.

Finally, after overcoming numerous obstacles, they arrived before the King of the Demon Realm.

"Hahaha! Finally here, my little savior, Wataru Ichibe!"

At the heart of that chaotic storm, an enormous, terrifying shadow, seemingly formed from countless desperate souls and the shadows of the abyss, stood upon the earth.

Even though those demonic mechs were already enormous, they were still incredibly small in the face of the demonic shadow before them.

"Dark Lord! Restore my kindness, and bring back the peace that everyone has lost!"

Wataru drew his sword, roared, and summoned Ryujinmaru, determined to fight the demon king before him to the death.

Master Shibaragu, Tiger King, and others also summoned their own demonic mechs, preparing to face the final battle together with Xiaodu.

Only Captain-Commander Yamamoto and Komi stood aside, not making a move immediately.

"Give it back to you? Hahaha!" Dark Da laughed maniacally, and at the center of that enormous demonic shadow, a faint white orb of light appeared: "Your kindness is the most delicious nourishment."

"Having lost your kindness, all that remains in your heart is anxiety and fear. What will you use to cut through the darkness?"

Before he finished speaking, dozens of thick beams of destructive death light shot out from the massive body of Dark Da Na.

"Xiaodu, watch out!"

Tiger King, piloting the Evil Tiger Maru, attempted to cleave through the death ray, but was directly thrown away by the terrifying impact.

The group immediately engaged in a fierce battle with Dark Da, with explosions and flames everywhere, constantly impacting everything on the earth.

But whether it's Master Shibaragu, Sparrow, or the reformed Duoduo, none of them can harm Darkness in the slightest.

"Victory is assured - Dragon Ascension Sword!"

Xiao Du seized the opportunity and shouted loudly.

The Sword King's Sword on Ryujinmaru's back erupted with dazzling golden sword energy, slashing head-on at Dark Da's body.

clang-!!!

Unexpectedly, the invincible Dragon Ascension Sword could not advance an inch when it touched Dark Da's armor!

"How could this be!" Xiao Du was shocked.

"It's useless! I'm wearing the armor of justice now." Dark Da's mocking voice echoed between heaven and earth: "This is a product infused with your goodwill; any attack you launch will be neutralized by its power."

"You can never defeat me!"

"Damn it... Even the Sword King's Sword can't cut through it..." Wataru felt the powerlessness in his hand, and panic flashed in his eyes.

He subconsciously looked at the old man who had been helping him, but the old man remained standing still, showing no intention of helping.

"Grandpa! Please help! That Dark Da's power is too strong, Xiao Du can't break that barrier at all!" Master Shibalagu pleaded loudly.

"Yes! Grandpa can definitely send that bad guy flying with just a swish!" Himiko exclaimed anxiously.

His white beard danced in the demonic aura, while Yamamoto's withered hands simply rested quietly on the hilt of his sword.

"I refuse."

"Why?!" Tiger King in the cockpit wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and shouted angrily, "You clearly have such great power, are you just going to watch Xiao Du be killed?!"

Yamamoto looked at Ryujinmaru, who was fighting in the sky, and cast his trust and expectation upon him.

He could indeed immediately lend a hand in the battle, and he certainly needed to return to Soul Society as soon as possible.

But he also understood that the true savior here was the boy in front of him who had lost some of his kindness.

This is the bond and connection between Wataru Ikusabe and this world; if he cannot achieve a breakthrough through his own strength...

So perhaps one day in the future, this place will encounter the same danger again.

Besides being the Captain-Commander, Yamamoto was also a teacher who instructed countless Shinigami and was the founder of the Shinigami Academy.

Its name is Yuanliu.

Can a heart that has been taken away by someone else, and which can only be won back through begging for help, still be called one's own heart?

Yamamoto's gaze pierced Ryujinmaru like a sharp sword: "Brawl! If you only hope for the mercy of the strong when you encounter an insurmountable predicament, then you are not worthy to hold the sword in your hand."

"Free your heart; your kindness cannot be truly taken away."

"In this abyss of despair, rebuild it with your soul!"

This stern reprimand, delivered with a thunderous tone, even startled the high and mighty Dark Lord.

"Hahaha! You old fool, you're really something, trying to send him to his death!"

"Humans who have lost their kindness cannot even overcome their own fears; how can they possibly fight against the demon realm?!"

Dark Da suddenly opened its abyssal maw, transforming endless dark miasma into thick chains that tightly bound Ryujinmaru's limbs.

Intense corrosive magic began to frantically destroy the machine's armor, and a bright red light shone across the entire sky.

"Ughh ...

Xiaodu was enduring intense pain, her body trembling uncontrollably.

However, Yamamoto Genryusai's words did indeed ignite a forgotten corner deep within his heart.

To reforge one?

Wataru struggled to lift his head, and through Ryujinmaru's eyes, he saw the figures of his companions.

That was the Tiger King, who was desperately trying to resist the demonic energy; Master Shibalagu, who was rushing to his rescue at all costs; and Sparrow and Himiko, whose eyes were filled with tears.

He recalled every moment from the moment he stepped into the first level of Creation Mountain.

Those villagers who, despite being oppressed, still managed to smile; those companions who were wounded while protecting him...

"You have indeed stolen my kindness..."

1

Xiao Du slowly closed his eyes, no longer paying attention to the glowing bead inside Dark Da's body.

Instead, he immersed all his consciousness deep within his soul.

"But my feelings for everyone haven't disappeared! My desire to protect everyone and to protect this world has never left me!"

"Similarly, everyone's hearts always beat in unison with mine!"

Even if it's taken away, as long as I still believe in my comrades, as long as I haven't given up hope.

"The flame in my heart... will never be extinguished!"

Buzz—! ! !

At that very moment, Ryujinmaru, who had been tightly bound by dark chains and whose light had dimmed, was...

A powerful and pure holy light suddenly erupted from within him.

"What?!" Dark Da's maniacal laughter abruptly stopped.

He was shocked to discover that the kindness within him, which had been taken from other humans and originally belonged to Xiaodu, had begun to tremble violently.

Then, with a crack, it shattered on its own!

At the same time, his absolute defense built on kindness began to shatter!

"How is this possible?! What did you do?!" Dark Da roared in shock and rage.
