Between the sand dunes, Uehara Shirayuki was using his Death God power to crush fifty large hollow ice sculptures.
Blue spirit particles filled the entire space, and countless spirits, having been cleansed, began to return to Soul Society.
The power of a Death God can purify the sins of spirits after death, including the souls of hollows.
This wave of his Death God abilities will definitely greatly strengthen him.
Before, he could withstand the Cero of a low-level large hollow, Giliyan. Now, he might be able to take a Cero from a mid-level large hollow, Ajacucas.
At this time, a group of Death Gods surrounded him.
“Uehara-sensei…” Ise Nanatsuo was still teary-eyed at this moment.
Although she was also incredibly shocked by Uehara Shirayuki's strength, she was more worried.
Just now, she was really scared, thinking that she had truly lost Uehara-sensei.
“Well, Nanatsuo, why are you crying? Didn't we solve everything?” Uehara Shirayuki glanced at everyone, “Did they bully you?”
Everyone, including Bankai Ikaku, took a step back in unison, leaving Ayalasegawa Yumichika, who had been “strategizing” earlier, alone.
“You bunch of bastards, not only are you not beautiful, you are downright ugly.” Ayalasegawa Yumichika was dumbfounded.
If this guy had just slashed him with a sword at this moment, he would have been finished, maybe even turning into spirit particles like those hollows and ascending to the heavens.
Fortunately, Ise Nanatsuo rescued Ayalasegawa Yumichika: “Uehara-sensei, I was just too worried about you…”
“Nothing to worry about, stuff like this, no matter how many come, it doesn’t matter…” Uehara Shirayuki said with a calm expression.
At that moment, a wild and brutal voice came from a distance: “I heard something interesting, that’s really interesting.”
Everyone turned to see a tall, sturdy man, like a wild beast, standing in the moonlight, carrying a blade.
The man's eyes were fierce and his face was ferocious. He wore a black eye patch over his right eye, and his hair was divided into strands like swords, with small bells hanging from the ends.
As the man appeared, a substantial killing intent and spiritual pressure surged towards them.
In an instant, everyone except Uehara Shirayuki felt a chill in their hearts.
It felt like some cold blade was pressed against their skin, placed near a vital point.
At this time, Bankai Ikaku and Ayalasegawa Yumichika were the first to shout:
“Captain Zaraki!”
“Captain Zaraki!”
This ferocious man was the captain of the Eleventh Division, Zaraki Kenpachi, also known as “The Unkillable,” said to have an unbreakable body.
Other Eleventh Division Death Gods also recovered from the spiritual pressure shock, and greeted Zaraki Kenpachi.
Some of the more quick-witted ones even mentioned Uehara Shirayuki’s amazing achievements earlier.
After hearing those words, one of Zaraki Kenpachi’s golden eyes slightly contracted.
Then, he took a step forward, almost instantly reaching Uehara Shirayuki, with a crazed, excited smile on his face:
“Is it you?
Did you kill fifty hollows with one strike?
After finishing dessert, I’ve encountered a feast, what a lucky day!”
After speaking, his entire body erupted with terrifying aura.
Killing intent permeated, spiritual pressure surged!
The area where Zaraki Kenpachi was standing was like it was covered in a layer of blood mist. Even the moon in the sky seemed to have turned into a blood moon.
Amidst the crimson, the beast named Zaraki Kenpachi roared and laughed excitedly: “Come, let’s fight!”
Under the impact of the killing intent and spiritual pressure, Ise Nanatsuo truly felt like she was pierced through the chest by some cold blade.
Her already weak state caused her mind to go blank, her body softened, and she fell backward.
Uehara Shirayuki extended his strong and powerful arm, gently embracing Ise Nanatsuo. Then, he gently patted her head, and a white light flashed.
In an instant, Ise Nanatsuo felt her mind become clear and her eyes regain their focus.
Her body, which had been completely drained, was revitalized with life and energy.
Ise Nanatsuo looked at Uehara Shirayuki with grateful eyes, then quickly hid behind him, not daring to face Zaraki Kenpachi directly.
“Before we start, please allow me to ask a question.” Facing Zaraki Kenpachi, who was like a maniac, full of killing intent, Uehara Shirayuki remained calm:
“Kenpachi, what is the difference between a king and a mount?”
He didn’t want to fight this hung-up guy, Zaraki Kenpachi.
A super-blood-bull with incredible defense was annoying enough, and this guy could keep unlocking his power in battle, getting stronger with each fight.
Although Uehara Shirayuki could use all his methods to deliver a one-hit kill, he might still be able to take this guy down.
But what was the point of winning if there was no reward?
Even if he did win, he would have to suffer retribution because, according to tradition, killing Kenpachi would make you the new Kenpachi.
Looking at this group of ruffians with their vulgar faces and terrible hairstyles, even if they were crazy, Uehara Shirayuki wouldn’t take over as their captain.
Zaraki Kenpachi’s expression remained indifferent:
“I don’t know, things like that don’t matter.
Are you scared?
Or have you run out of energy?
I can give you time to recover.”
“It seems you don’t understand at all, someone like you isn’t qualified to make me draw my sword.” Uehara Shirayuki knew that this guy was a natural-born fighting machine.
For Zaraki Kenpachi, the only joy was killing and fighting.
Life-and-death battles were the meaning of his life.
However, Zaraki Kenpachi sought a completely engaged battle from both sides, so simply refusing was enough.
Sure enough, Zaraki Kenpachi just said with disappointment:
“You’re so strong, why don’t you like killing and fighting? Such a shame!
Come find me when you change your mind, I’ll be waiting for you.
I’ll give you a ‘discount’ then, let you strike me first.”
“A-Ken is so generous!” At that moment, a pink-haired little girl suddenly popped out from behind Zaraki Kenpachi.
Bankai Ikaku and the others were startled and exclaimed:
“Vice-captain!”
“So you were here all along!”
…
Ise Nanatsuo looked curiously at the little girl with big eyes and pink hair.
The Vice-captain of the Eleventh Division was actually a “plain and ordinary” little girl.
So strange!
“I was sleeping on A-Ken’s back just now, Little Light, Little Kiss, nice to see you!” The pink-haired little girl still had two symmetrical red circles on her face, like rouge.
Then, the pink-haired little girl introduced herself to Uehara Shirayuki and Ise Nanatsuo:
“Hello, my name is Kusajishi Yachiru, don’t look at me like this, I’m the Vice-captain of the Eleventh Division!”
“Yachiru, what a good name!” Uehara Shirayuki didn’t want to stay with this group of ruffians any longer, so he said directly:
“Everyone worked hard today, return to your territory for a short rest.
When we get back to Seireitei, Captain-Commander Yamamoto will reward everyone, plenty of gold tickets!”
After speaking, he ignored Zaraki Kenpachi’s “reluctant” gaze and immediately Shunpo-ed away.
“Captain Zaraki, see you at headquarters!”
Ise Nanatsuo gave Zaraki Kenpachi a slight bow, then quickly left as well.
Looking at their backs, Zaraki Kenpachi nodded dismissively:
“There are so many more prey waiting for me, how can I rest?
Uehara Shirayuki, you can’t escape, one day you will fight me with all your strength!”
…
At this time, in the sand dunes, Aizen, wearing a concealing cloak, and Gin Ichimaru were watching the former battlefield.
Gin Ichimaru’s eyes actually opened slightly, looking at the blue spirit particles still dissipating in the distance, he said in surprise:
“Aizen-sama, another powerful force has emerged from the Death God side.”
Previously, he suspected that Uehara Shirayuki had been hiding part of his strength.
Now it seemed that he wasn’t hiding part of his strength, but an entire “iceberg” was hidden, and only a tip of the iceberg was exposed.
Aizen pondered the distance for a moment, then said warmly:
“It doesn’t matter, the stronger the Death God side, the faster we can clean up Hueco Mundo.
This way, we can conquer Hueco Mundo even faster.”
Gin Ichimaru narrowed his eyes again, revealing his familiar insidious smile:
“Once Aizen-sama conquers Hueco Mundo, perfects the Hollowfication experiment, you will surpass all Death Gods.
It’s truly exciting to think about.”
“If that’s the case, then let’s speed things up, let’s invite those from Las Noches to visit.” Aizen’s eyes flickered, a plan forming in his mind.
