Chapter 325: Chapter 325: Zanka no Tachi!
Yamamoto's voice echoed.
Nobody expected Yamamoto to unleash his Bankai.
There was no doubt that as the head-captain of the Gotei 13, he had mastered Bankai.
But no one had ever seen him use his Bankai, this was true for almost everyone.
Either there was no chance, or there was no need.
Originally, in the battle of Karakura Town, he personally went out to deal with Aizen, and had considered using Bankai, but because of Wonderweiss, Ryūjin Jakka was sealed, and so, he missed the opportunity to use his Bankai.
Now, after seeing Mazuru summoning Muramasa and causing all of the shinigamis' Zanpakuto to rebel, Yamamoto finally didn't hold back.
Soul Society knew that there were two ways to defeat Mazuru.
One, was that he must be dragged down to the point where his reiatsu would not be enough to sustain his Bankai, and the enchantment would shatter.
Second, directly use brute force to break the enchantment.
According to Byakuya, in the last Hueco Mundo battle, Zaraki did exactly this after releasing his Bankai.
Now, after many shinigamis' Zanpakuto had rebelled, but for some reason, Zaraki's Zanpakuto had not moved at all, and there was no such thing as a rebellion.
If Zaraki was allowed to use his Bankai, it could actually break Mazuru's enchantment just like the last time.
But Yamamoto felt that since he had already made the resolve to fight Mazuru himself, Zaraki didn't need to release his Bankai.
To be honest, Zaraki, who was fighting Grimmjow, was also a little puzzled. After Muramasa used his ability, Yachiru actually flashed in his mind. Though he didn't get any answers from her, but he did heard her telling him to defeat the opponent in front of him.
Although he didn't know why she appeared in his mind, since it was her idea, he followed suit.
So Grimmjow felt the endless pressure brought by the real Zaraki Kenpachi.
Zaraki was just too strong.
Even Grimmjow couldn't help but complain secretly that other shinigami's Zanpakuto had rebelled, why the hell are you special, why doesn't your Zanpakuto rebel?
But at the moment, Grimmjow didn't have the time to think much about it, because he too heard Yamamoto's voice.
After the sound came out, a powerful and suffocating reiatsu swept out from Yamamoto's body in an instant.
With the spread of his powerful reiatsu, whether it is shinigami, arrancar, or Bount, whoever was present on the field, they all felt that the air there had become extremely hot, almost too hot to bear.
Even the blood mist that filled the air after Mazuru activated his Bankai appeared to be evaporating under the heat.
After the powerful reiatsu erupted, it then quickly returned to the previous calm. The flames above the Ryūjin Jakka, which were originally flickering and spreading wildly, seemed to be completely burned out in Yamamoto's hand, leaving only a scorched black sword.
Compared to Ryūjin Jakka at the time of its Shikai, the sword after performing Bankai, seemed rather mediocre.
"Huh…"
*Grunt*
"Ugh…"
"My throat feels dry."
There was a shinigami who wanted to gulp down to calm himself, but found that the inside of his throat was so dry that he couldn't even produce saliva.
Not only him, but the rest of the shinigami also found that the surrounding temperature suddenly increased a lot, it was drier and hotter, which made all of them feel uncomfortable.
Originally, the Hueco Mundo is a desert, which was always illuminated by the scorching sun every day, and the temperature was quite high and it rose even higher after Yamamoto started to fight. However, after he released his Bankai, the temperature of this desert was continuing to rise.
"Old man Yama..."
Shunsui looked at Yamamoto who had released his Bankai, and couldn't help but being dazed for a while.
"This is the Bankai of the head-captain?"
Byakuya also looked at Yamamoto in a daze.
Before meeting Ichigo, he didn't believe that such a small Bankai existed in the world, because the existing Bankai of the Soul Society, after liberation, every one of them were grandiose until Ichigo taught him a lesson with Tensa Zangetsu, but at this moment, after seeing the Yamamoto's Bankai, he found that not only was Ichigo's Bankai so "small", but the head-captain's Bankai was also like that.
But despite its small size, Byakuya did not underestimate Zanpakuto in the hands of Yamamoto.
He also felt that the surrounding temperature had risen sharply, and was still rising, it had risen to an almost unbearable level.
"So this is Ryūjin Jakka's Bankai, the oldest and strongest Zanpakuto's Bankai?"
Byakuya whispered to herself.
When it comes to Bankai, the oldest and strongest Zanpakuto in the fire-department, it must be mentioned that on the shinigami side, there was also the strongest Zanpakuto of another certain department.
It was Hyōrinmaru in the hands of Toshiro, the strongest Zanpakuto of the ice and snow-department.
Under Muramasa's Bankai, Hyōrinmaru once again betrayed him, and he had to deal with the rebelling Hyōrinmaru and Sojiro who had "resurrected from the dead" together.
Originally, Toshiro was still thinking about how to break the game, but after Yamamoto's Bankai, he suddenly found that Hyōrinmaru, who had become concrete in front of him, had disappeared.
"What the hell happened?"
Toshiro was puzzled.
Sojiro was also a little puzzled, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He was about to launch another attack on Toshiro, only to find that the power of his attack had weakened a lot
"Is... the change brought by releasing the Bankai?"
Sojiro immediately realized the reason.
Hyōrinmaru had a basic overriding skill which was that it could affect the weather, which was one of the symbols of the strongest Zanpakuto in the ice and snow-department.
After liberation, the weather would change and become extremely cold, and then provide Hyōrinmaru with the perfect home field for battle.
Ryūjin Jakka, as the strongest Zanpakuto in the fire-department, obviously also had such over-bearing abilities.
'The power of Hyōrinmaru has weakened, and the Hyōrinmaru that had been concretized to reality also disappeared suddenly, all of this is probably because of the spike in temperature after Ryūjin Jakka's Bankai, which made Hyōrinmaru unable to adapt to it.'
'But!'
"How could such an outrageous thing happen?"
Sojiro felt that it was a little hard to accept, his Zanpakuto was also the strongest in a certain department, why was Hyōrinmaru not as good as Ryūjin Jakka?
In fact, not only Toshiro and Sojiro were affected, but Harribel and Rukia were also the same. Harribel's Resurrección was of the water-element. At this moment, she found that she couldn't even summon a drop of water.
Rukia was similar, Sode no Shirayuki couldn't summon ice anymore, in other words, it couldn't 'dance anymore'.
In comparison, although Hyōrinmaru's power was weakened, at least it could still summon some ice.
In contrast, the fire-element powers had been strengthened at epic-levels.
For example, Harribel's opponent Shusuke, his Zanpakuto Raika was of the fire-department, and as the surrounding environment changed, its power suddenly increased, but he was not happy.
Because his Zanpakuto had rebelled.
He was able to handle his own Zanpakuto before, but after the environment changed and its power was boosted, he immediately felt that the difficulty of the situation.
Yamamoto held the scorched black sword in his hand, looked at Mazuru, and said calmly, "When all the flames released by Ryūjin Jakka disappear, the blade forms a simple and small sword, this sword is called Zanka no Tachi."
Zanka no Tachi, it was the name of Ryūjin Jakka's Bankai.
