From the Wandenreich's escape to One Piece

Chapter 82 Im Departs; Rukia is Kidnapped!

"Who told you to exert so much effort!"

Mayuri Kurotsuchi's pupils dilated; he was starting to panic.

This is a completely new species that he has never seen before!

These guys actually used such powerful force to attack!

What if we kill this black bird?!

Even the slightest injury makes him feel like his heart is bleeding!

As for the demonized Grim Reapers and the subsequent disasters, that's none of their business!

But whatever he was thinking, it's too late now.

boom!

With a deafening roar, the captains unleashed their ultimate moves.

Even the captain, who was unable to use Bankai, still managed to unleash a high-level Hado.

Lightning, flames, spears shot out, giant blades swung out, and long swords slashed out with scorching flames, all crashed towards the black Im!

puff!

The black giant bird endured such a powerful force in an instant. This force was so strong that the spiritual energy it released even shattered the clouds above!

Because the Five Elders arrived so suddenly, the Cleansing Wall was not lowered in the Cleansing Court at this moment.

Without the Cleansing Wall, there would be no Soul-Shielding Membrane generated by the Killing Intent Stone.

Otherwise, such intense spiritual pressure fluctuations would be blocked by the Soul-Shielding Membrane, preventing excessive damage.

But this moment is different, because without the protective barrier, the enormous force exploded from the air, creating a powerful airburst.

Black lightning bolts spread directly from the center of the explosion, instantly collapsing a large number of buildings below!

Many of the people fleeing from the demons simply rolled their eyes upwards and fainted!

'

'

The team leaders felt a bit nervous as they watched the explosion in the sky.

From the sudden appearance of those five monsters to their merging into a giant black bird with a human body, everything happened far too fast.

Many people in the Soul Society hadn't even realized what was happening before the Black Domination had already begun.

Smoke and fire filled the Soul Society as the Grim Reapers, now controlled by the Dark Ones and transformed into demons, continued to spread outwards. At this moment, there may already be hundreds of them who have grown demon wings!

The Gotei 13 only has a few thousand Shinigami in total. One hundred of them were converted right away, and the conversion is still ongoing. This is an absolute huge blow to them!

so----

Was that monster dead?!

If the black giant bird is dead now, and the strange state of these people cannot be resolved, is there any hope for these Grim Reapers?

And what's even more terrifying is—

boom!

As the smoke from the explosion cleared, a terrible thing happened: in the sky, there was a giant black bird—

Completely unharmed?!

No, he may have been pulverized in the previous explosion, but his immortality allowed him to fully recover!

"ah----"

A cold sweat broke out on Ukitake's face. Was this a bit too exaggerated?

How come all those attacks couldn't kill this guy?

"This monster—"

"It seems that killing him is no longer an option." Aizen pushed up his glasses, concealing his gaze, which was almost identical to Mayuri Kurotsuchi's. He said, "Choose to seal him."

"That's all we can do now," Chunshui said with a frown. But just as they were about to apply the seal, a strong aura of dominance erupted from the black giant bird once again. This time, the black lightning spread even further, causing more of the Grim Reapers who were still being chased by demons to roll their eyes!

Sensing the domineering aura released by Im, the captains' expressions darkened, thinking that this guy might be about to unleash some powerful move.

However, his body disintegrated at this moment, and the huge magic circle that had been engraved on the ground seemed to start operating again, emitting black lightning.

In the blink of an eye, the giant bird flying in the sky had disappeared!

Disappeared? !

They're gone?!

The team leaders' eyes widened in surprise.

Why did this guy suddenly leave?!

They came out of nowhere, suddenly appearing and then just controlling some Death Gods before suddenly leaving again?

He barely said a few words, making it really hard to understand his purpose!

"what!"

But the distant wailing of death brought them back to their senses. Yes, although the black giant bird had disappeared, the demons it controlled still existed.

We need to capture them first, see if we can restore them to normal, and find out what happened to them and why they suddenly turned into these demonic beings.

If possible, we should also try to find clues about the five monsters from them.

They are definitely not bluffing!

"Arrest them all!"

The captains dispersed at that moment, heading in their respective directions, ready to capture the blackened demon, Death.

In District 13, when the Five Elders appeared, all the Shinigami rushed towards that area.

However, most Grim Reapers don't have the same leg strength as the Captain.

The Soul Society is actually a very large area. Only captain-level Shinigami can cross the Soul Society relatively easily. For ordinary Shinigami, it takes a long time to travel from one area to another.

So even though the Grim Reapers started heading that way after the Five Elders descended, the vast majority of them are still on their way.

Rukia is one of them.

Since Jushiro Ukitake was not in the barracks when the incident occurred, they rushed to the battlefield according to the normal emergency procedures.

"What is that?"

Rukia, who was moving forward with her fellow Shinigami, suddenly sensed an unusual spiritual pressure coming from ahead.

Although an unprecedented spiritual pressure was constantly emanating from the battlefield, she could feel it intensely at this moment because of the close proximity.

"what!"

Soon a group of Grim Reapers appeared in front of her, and they were running away as if they had seen something terrifying!

There were probably dozens of Death Gods in total. They were covered in sweat, and their faces were filled with terror, as if they had seen something extremely horrific.

"What happened up ahead?!"

A Shinigami beside Rukia shouted, "Run! Or you'll turn into a monster!" The fleeing Shinigami, sweating profusely, still managed to say, "Get out of the way!"

Will it turn into a monster?

Rukia was taken aback. What was this?

She suddenly thought of Shiba Kaien, who had been possessed by Metastacia back then—

Back then, even Vice-Captain Shiba turned into a monster—

The thought of that scene brought a look of extreme pain to Rukia's face.

After all, it was she who had personally killed her beloved vice-captain.

"Kill them!"

While she was in agony, the demon had already caught up with her!

Dozens of death gods, several meters tall with black wings on their backs and fangs, charged toward this place, wielding knives!

They were fast enough to catch up with several lone Grim Reapers, who felled one with a single strike and then left him alone as they passed by.

The fallen Grim Reaper seemed to fall into the ground, its body flipped over, and when it emerged again, it had transformed into a monster just like those demons!

Then they joined the demons' ranks and charged together toward the Grim Reaper ahead!

! !

At this moment, Rukia finally understood why they said it was about turning into a monster.

"Quick! Stop them!"

The Grim Reaper of the 13th Division, sword in hand, said nervously, "Although we don't know what's going on, we know we can't let these demons advance any further!"

Rukia also gripped her Zanpakuto, but at that moment, the image of Shiba Kaien being possessed resurfaced in her mind, causing her body to tremble involuntarily.

"ah!!"

As the demon drew closer, Rukia screamed and swung her sword forward!

The Grim Reapers have clashed with the demons, but the Grim Reapers are clearly no match for the demons.

Originally, everyone's strength was about the same, but under the control of the Black One, they were transformed into demons and gained great power and immortality!

"Demon Contract: Dark Domination, this is Im's ability, which, according to Im, can grant others divine power."

It is said to be "divine power," but it is actually "demon power," since even a demon wouldn't admit to being a demon.

Even demons can use the name of gods to disguise themselves, so the power of demons becomes the power of gods.

This ability also has the effect of "Othello". The demon is the black piece and the others are the white pieces. Once the black piece sandwiches the white piece in the middle, the white piece in the middle will turn into a black piece.

In other words, once you are caught in the middle of demons, you will be transformed into a demon just like them!

Rukia felt that the demon Grim Reaper in front of her was incredibly strong. She swung her Zanpakuto to meet him, and her arm went numb from the shock!

However, Rukia's strength is actually quite strong. Although she hasn't been in the 13th Division for very long, she has been trained by the lieutenant, which has led to her rapid progress.

However, their opponents were, after all, their colleagues from the Gotei 13. Even though they were under control, they were still wearing their Shinigami uniforms and holding their Zanpakuto, so they couldn't kill them for the time being!

Rukia was sent flying by a slash, but landed safely. Just as she was about to unleash her Zanpakuto, a shadow suddenly appeared above her.

What?

Rukia instinctively looked up, only to see a giant dragon suddenly flying towards her from afar?!

What is that?!

Rukia's pupils dilated. The shock caused the black-clad Reaper in front of her to move closer and strike her directly with its blade.

Rukia quickly held her sword in front of her, but caught off guard, she was still slashed away, leaving a cut on her shoulder from which blood flowed.

Join us.

Rukia then realized that the person who swung his sword at her was also a Shinigami from the 13th Division, but he had now been transformed into a demon.

Am I next?

Fear gripped Rukia's heart.

After Shiba Kaien's death, she lived in constant pain, so she was not afraid of death.

Perhaps death was a relief for her.

But she couldn't accept becoming this terrible demon!

Just as the demon army was about to catch up, Rukia was about to retreat, but the dragon that had appeared earlier suddenly spat out a breath of dragon fire!

boom!

The dragon's breath exploded directly in front of Rukia's demon, the Grim Reaper, and the huge explosion blew Rukia away. She rolled several times after landing on the ground.

Hiss, it hurts!

Rukia gritted her teeth, but thanks to the dragon's breath explosion, she was blasted out of the demons' territory.

She was about to stand up when she realized that the azure dragon was heading straight for her.

Varied----?

Before she could react, the enormous azure dragon swallowed her whole and then quickly headed away from the Pure Spirit Court!

Although the Azure Dragon swallowed her, Rukia was not swallowed whole; instead, the dragon's body remained lodged in her mouth.

Surrounded by darkness, Rukia panicked and hurriedly tried to use her sword to pry open the dragon's massive jaws. However, just as she was about to swing her sword, an invisible force entered her brain.

This thought had a hypnotic effect; her mind became sluggish, as if it were a jumbled mess.

Soon, Rukia lost consciousness and collapsed into the mouth of the Azure Dragon.

"stop!"

Jushiro Ukitake, who was rushing back to the Thirteenth Division, also saw the giant blue dragon appear in the sky. He couldn't help but see it, after all, the dragon's body was just too big.

Even from a great distance, you can see it clearly!

However, because of the distance, Fuzhu didn't see who the Azure Dragon ate, but whoever it ate was likely an enemy related to this unusual event!

Is this monster part of the same group as the previous five monsters?

Ukitake was about to give chase with all his might, but the horrific scene of death below made him feel conflicted.

The Grim Reaper ahead is being chased by demons, and is being transformed one after another!

If he leaves, what will happen to these Grim Reapers?

These Grim Reapers are all his subordinates!

In the end, Jushiro Ukitake stopped.

Compared to finding out the truth, Ukitake believes that protecting his subordinates is more important!

He was heartbroken ever since Shiba Kaien had his accident in front of him.

After all, he had always regarded Shiba Kaien as his successor, and even four days before his accident, he had already prepared the new captain's haori for the 13th Division.

He has already prepared to retire and let Shiba Kaien take over as captain of the 13th Division.

However, just four days later, Haiyan died.

Ukitake decided that the same thing could not be allowed to happen again!

Meanwhile, Beltz, who was frantically trying to escape the Soul Society, was experiencing immense excitement.

That guy Yhwach—

That's so insane!

They even brought out Im!

Although Haschward had told him not to go near the Soul Society in the near future, how could he possibly miss such a spectacular show?

Rukia has always been his target!

She has the Hogyoku inside her!
