Bleach: From Rugum to Thousand-Year Captain

Suddenly, countless icebergs rose up from the ground, covering the earth. Now everyone finally understood where the icebergs on the mountain peak came from.

"Show me your power, what kind of power?"

Before Tsunayoshi Tokida could finish speaking, he saw Tengetsu Sukusai disappear from his sight.

Hearing Tianyue Quezhai's voice behind him again, he was startled and swung Yanluo Mirror behind him.

However, this blow felt like hitting a hard diamond. He turned around abruptly and saw that Tianyue Quezhai had grabbed Yanluo Jingdian's blade.

"What? When?"

"Tsunayoshi Tokinada, stop with the nonsense. Show me the full power of your divine weapon and Hyōrinmaru! If you can't give me a good fight, I'll kill you right now!"

Tengetsu no Sukuzhai, like a ghostly figure, sent chills down Tsunayoshi Tokina's spine.

If Tengetsu Quezai had swung his sword at me just now, I wouldn't have been able to defend myself at all.

I'll die! If I don't use all my power, I'll definitely be killed!!!

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Amatsuki Sussai, you'll regret this!!! Go, Hyōrinmaru, unleash all your power."

Upon receiving the divine artifact's command, Hyōrinmaru's body erupted with intense spiritual pressure. The blue-white spiritual pressure shot straight into the sky, transforming into a pillar of spiritual pressure standing beneath the dark clouds.

This level of spiritual pressure is still rising, and has already surpassed the spiritual pressure level of a typical team leader.

It even reached the level of a super captain, a captain who has been around for a hundred years. The power within Hyōrinmaru seems to be endless, and it continues to vent its power recklessly.

Not only had Hyōrinmaru surpassed Captain-level spiritual pressure, but Tsunayoshi Tokinada also seemed to be truly feeling the life-or-death pressure brought by Tengetsu Sussai, and began to devote all his strength to preparing for a desperate fight.

Countless white souls surged and surged around Tsunayoshi Tokina, and the power within his body began to rise suddenly.

With the help of the divine artifact to absorb the power of countless souls, Tsunayoshi Tokinada quickly surpassed the spiritual pressure level of a captain, and like Hyōrinmaru, he continued to increase it! Soon, another purple pillar of spiritual pressure appeared on the ground.

Two Captain-level spiritual pressures raged through the Yasaka Ward, sending trees and sand flying everywhere. The gusts of wind whipped up by the spiritual pressures flung everyone's shihaka suits, making them explode like firecrackers.

Such intense spiritual pressure forcibly ended the battle between Kyoraku Shunsui and Kashima Seikiyo, and both of them stared wide-eyed at the two pillars of spiritual pressure.

Kyoraku Shunsui, holding his straw hat to prevent it from being blown away, flashed to Shihōin Chiaki's side.

"Hey, hey, hey, this looks like things are getting serious. Can Captain Tianyue handle this?"

"As Captain Tianyue's former student, don't you know Captain Tianyue's personality?"

"Personality? I don't really know Captain Amatsuki's personality... his fighting personality."

Chiaki Shihōin shook his head and smiled slightly; "When faced with a battle that I can enjoy, Tengetsu Sussai will immerse himself in the battle. However, if the strength of the opponent exceeds expectations, then Tengetsu Sussai will use any means necessary and decisively take the victory."

"It sounds... a bit..."

Kyoraku Shunsui couldn't think of a word, so Shihouin Chiaki provided the answer.

"Contradictory...awkward, isn't it? This is Tengetsu Sukusai, his self is full of contradictions. It's like he's holding the strongest sword and the strongest shield, but the sword and shield will repel each other. It's not surprising that he swings his sword when facing an opponent he can slash at will, and raises his shield when facing a powerful enemy he can't withstand."

"At this moment, Tengetsu Quezai has picked up the strongest sword and put down the strongest shield. What do you think he is doing now?"

Shihōin Chiaki's explanation made Kyōraku Shunsui suddenly understand.

......

Chapter 100 1v3 (A combined 7000-word chapter)

At this moment, Tengetsu Sussai is facing the strongest ice-type Zanpakuto, Hyōrinmaru, and Tsunayoshi Tokinada, who is carrying the divine artifact, Enrakyo-den.

He remained completely unfazed by the presence of two Super Captain-level enemies, having already surpassed the limits of a typical Grim Reaper.

A century has allowed Tengetsu no Sukesai to reach unprecedented heights of power. Even the game's bosses, such as the Grim Reaper Aizen and Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, can be killed by his divine power.

He has collected most of the cards in the Shinigami faction, including the Shinigami Aizen Sousuke and Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, who stand at the pinnacle of pure Shinigami cards.

Tengetsu Sukusai's current strength, judging solely from his spiritual pressure, has already surpassed that of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

If we take the evolved form of Aizen Sousuke of the Hogyoku as a benchmark, then Tenzuki Suzaku probably surpassed his original potential limit with his spiritual pressure, but the dimension is still at the level of a Shinigami.

Aizen's evolution has several stages: the Shinigami Aizen form, the Hueco Mundo leader form, the Hogyoku fusion forms one through four, the final Hogyoku fusion form, and the chair Aizen sealing form.

The spiritual pressure of Aizen's Shinigami form and Hueco Mundo leader form is similar, the difference being whether or not he carries the Hogyoku and is affected by it.

The first stage of Hogyoku fusion;

It combines the stable but not powerful Hōgyoku that Kisuke Urahara successfully created with his own Hōgyoku, which was created by carrying the Spirit King's fingertip but was unstable internally, thus forming a more perfect new Hōgyoku.

She then used Orihime Inoue's power of rejection of all phenomena to stimulate the growth of the Hogyoku, and then initially fused with it.

At this stage, Aizen is more powerful than before his betrayal, with significant increases in attack, defense, and recovery.

The new Hogyoku instinctively protects its host, making it "almost impossible to kill Aizen." Aizen claims that his power at this stage surpasses the combined power of the Espada.

The second stage of Hogyoku fusion;

At this stage, Aizen stopped using his own power and relied entirely on the power of the Hogyoku to fight.

Aizen's entire body was enveloped in a milky-white, solid spiritual pressure, resembling a pupa during insect evolution.

Although he is still a Shinigami, his spiritual pressure, slashing ability, speed, defense, and recovery ability far surpass those of the previous stage.

Even those with a level 90 or higher Breakthrough skill would find it difficult to harm him.

It can be said that Aizen at this stage has far surpassed the strength of a captain.

The third stage of Hogyoku fusion;

At this stage, the Hogyoku had merged into Aizen's body. Although his entire body was still enveloped in milky-white spiritual pressure, his head had become visible.

He exists in the Shinigami dimension, at the pinnacle of Shinigami or Hollow power, just one step away from a qualitative leap.

His spiritual pressure, slashing ability, speed, defense, and recovery are all far superior to the previous stage. Ordinary humans would turn to ashes if they got close to him because they could not withstand his spiritual pressure.

The fourth stage of Hogyoku fusion;

At this stage, Aizen evolved to a dimension higher than that of a Shinigami. Even if the Hogyoku is not in the host's body, he will call upon the host and try to return to the host's body.

His appearance had changed dramatically: he now had slits resembling eyes on his forehead, and his eyebrows had disappeared.

Three pairs of enormous butterfly wings grew from his back, and there was a hole in his chest with the Hōgyoku embedded in the center. His right hand had merged with his Zanpakutō, and he was no longer in the form of a Shinigami.

The evolution from a pupa-like appearance to a butterfly form represents the rebirth and transformation of indigo dyeing.

The final state of Hogyoku fusion

This stage refers to the period when Aizen evolved again beyond the Shinigami dimension: his appearance underwent a huge change.

A slit resembling an eye appeared on his forehead, his face turned black, and the skin on his face was torn in the middle.

Located on either side of the black face, three holes appeared on the upper body, with the Hogyoku inside the top hole, and the Zanpakuto fused with the right hand.

On the ridge of each of the original giant butterfly wings, a "skull" has grown out, completely lacking the characteristics of the Grim Reaper, and its appearance is very similar to that of the Hollow.

At this stage, Aizen possessed true immortality.

And finally, the Aizen Chair form, a fully evolved Aizen whose Kyoka Suigetsu power can hypnotize Yhwach.

Tengetsu Sukusai felt that with his current strength, he could match Aizen's power at the Hogyoku.

Without considering the degree of life leap, and judging solely by pure strength, Tengetsu Chosai believed that he should have reached between the second and third stages of Aizen's Hogyoku.

Even if we disregard the degree of life leap, Tianyue Quezhai, which did not undergo life leap, would essentially be downgraded by one level.

To be conservative, Tengetsu Sukusai thinks he's probably somewhere between the first and second stages of the Hogyoku Aizen technique.

Although countless spiritual pressures may overflow, the amount of spiritual pressure, no matter how much is added, is still insufficient to cause a qualitative change in life.

If he, Tianyue Quezhai, can achieve perfect harmony between man and sword, then he can at least take another step forward.

But to take it a step further, even if the spiritual pressure of all the Shinigami characters were combined...

The spiritual power became incredibly strong, but it still couldn't compare to the power of the Spirit King's rules.

Ultimately, this world was created by the Spirit King, so how could any power born in this world surpass the power of the fully-formed Spirit King?

Leaving aside other things, the ability of the monk's true white pen to corrupt all darkness is a natural counter to the Grim Reaper who manifests power by giving his name.

With his current strength stats, Tengetsu Sukusai has indeed surpassed Yamamoto, the strongest Shinigami.

His next phase will be to advance towards the power of the monk and Yhwach, which is the next target he needs to work towards.

However, if the monk is the hypothetical enemy, then one cannot rely solely on the power of death.

The power of rules is truly difficult to deal with.

With just the Soul King's fingertips, he was able to create a semi-invincible Aizen Sousuke. The Soul King's stuff is really amazing.

Enough of the small talk; Hyōrinmaru continued to raise his power to an unprecedented level.

The dark clouds brought by the arrival of the heavenly signs began to fall, and a dense drizzle began to fall, mixed with the terrifying, icy spiritual pressure of Hyōrinmaru.

"How arrogant you are, Tenzuki Sukusai! Is it really okay to just let Hyōrinmaru increase his power like this?"

"With your current strength, you will definitely die under Hyōrinmaru's blade. Just slowly turn into an ice sculpture, bearing your arrogance."

"I will send your cold corpse to Seireitei as a declaration of war against Seireitei. The deaths of the three of you are just the beginning."

"A thousand-year-old ice prison!"

Before Tsunayoshi Tokina could finish speaking, the several icebergs formed by the condensed spiritual pressure of Hyōrinmaru's rain and mist instantly transformed into icy pillars that began to press down on the surroundings of Tengetsu Sussai.

Judging by this fierce momentum, it seems they're going to crush Tianyue Quezhai to death!

"I've been waiting for this for so long, and all you've done is make me a few icebergs to cool off? You've completely wasted my time!"

"Wang Xu's Flash!"

Tengetsu Sukusai held his Zanpakuto horizontally with one hand, and an incredibly dense black-red spiritual pressure immediately condensed on the blade.

In just three seconds, the explosive spiritual pressure energy surged towards Hyōrinmaru.

Wang Xu's flashing black and red energy instantly engulfed Hyōrinmaru's figure, and at the same time, several icebergs hundreds of meters high that had blocked his view also disappeared.

The hundred-meter-high iceberg was evaporated and disappeared by terrifying energy, as fragile as a piece of paper.

The so-called "Millennial Cage" move was interrupted by Tengetsu Quezhai before it could be completed.

It's not that Tengetsu Quesai is showing off or bragging, but these slow-moving and sluggish ice pillars are not even capable of resounding through the Great Hollow.

Even a regular captain-level Shinigami who is proficient in Shunpo could easily dodge it if they reacted and dodged immediately.

He's not a stationary target, just standing there waiting to be hit.
