"Sekizō!"
Aiyan retracted his fist, looked at the air as the earth, and stood firmly.
The blood-red steam that roared in all directions, like flames, rose violently, exuding pressure that made the space tremble.
The fist was withdrawn.
But the blaster, which was like a pillar in the sky, connecting Soul Society and the Soul King's Palace, did not disappear.
It still maintains the Sekizō posture visible to the naked eye, extending from Soul King's Palace to the land of Soul Society.
Stay for a long time.
at this time.
In the Soul King's Palace, which stands on top of the Soul Society.
Every Shinigami, no matter where they are, just needs to lower their heads and look down, and they can clearly see through the canopy that was directly split open by Aiyan with his fist. On the land of Soul Society, there is a huge dust pillar, like a countercurrent. Like the Milky Way above, it rushed towards the Soul King's Palace.
Blast the ancestor of Shihōin from Soul King's Palace to Soul Society.
Shattered the earth and created a pillar of dust that surged from Soul Society to the ceiling.
Just because of Aiyan's punch.
"Fifth Step!"
call out
Aiyan glanced at the bottom of the Soul King's Palace.
With just one action of looking down, the four ancestors were on high alert.
In an instant, the four ancestors of Kuchiki Sūjin, Tsunayashiro En'yū, Shiba Annei, and Amamiya Suiko disappeared from the place and appeared together in the four directions of Aiyan's southeast, northwest, and surrounded him.
Obviously.
The four ancestors were all on guard against the man in front of them and punched Shihōin Richū who fell to the ground of Soul Society.
"Don't be nervous."
"I want to kill him, but you can't protect him."
Aiyan looked around the four people, raised the corners of his lips, and said something that made the four ancestors furious.
"Shishin: Fūin no Jōgen!"
The four ancestors surged out of the Reiatsu, like the Ganga River, rolling out, and in an instant, the Soul King's Palace was dyed into four distinct areas.
Every area is filled with a wave of Reiatsu.
Immediately afterwards.
The four of them pulled out Zanpakutō at the same time and stabbed it into the mid-void.
boom
From the four areas, four behemoths that were different from each other but were all extremely huge flew out one after another.
White tiger.
Azure Dragon.
Vermilion Bird.
Black Tortoise.
The four Reiatsu giants soared into the sky and formed a large formation that could encompass the Soul King's Palace, imprisoning Aiyan within it.
"Um?"
The moment he was trapped in the barrier, Aiyan felt a sense of oppression filling his body and mind.
It's not aimed at the body, but at his ability.
Just like when he faced Shihōin Richū, it was exactly the same, even more intense.
"A Kidō barrier against Zanjutsu, Kido, Hakuda and Hohō?"
Feeling the pressure coming towards his face, Aiyan's eyes became clear.
"It seems you have noticed it."
Amamiya Suiko stared at Aiyan coldly.
That expression was like looking at a turtle in an urn.
"This is what you get for being arrogant and trying to confront us."
Kuchiki Sūjin said word by word.
"The reason why we are called the ancestors of Shinigami is not only because we were born at the pinnacle of Shinigami, but there is another reason."
"Kuchiki, Shiba, Tsunayashiro, Amamiya, and Shihōin."
"These five surnames represent Reiatsu, Kidō, Zanjutsu, Shunpo, and Hakuda."
Tsunayashiro En'yū raised five fingers.
"Just face us."
"The five powers belonging to Shinigami are equivalent to nothing."
Shiba Annei words made the Gotei captains in the distance tremble with fear.
"Goshin: Fūin no Jōgen!"
At this time.
A figure in ragged clothes and covered in blood, like lightning across the sky, flew through the air at an astonishing speed from a huge deep well on the Soul Society land, surrounded by spiral airflow, and rushed to the ceiling in an instant.
Immediately afterwards.
He joined the four ancestors, held Zanpakutō in his hand, pierced the sky, and spread out the Reiatsu to complete the barrier.
this moment.
The oppression, which was ten times more intense than before, was like an invisible mountain, oppressing Aiyan.
There seemed to be a voice telling him in his heart.
Using Zanjutsu, Kidō, Shunpo, Hakuda, and even Reiatsu to fight is meaningless as long as it belongs to Shinigami's power.
It is impossible to hurt the five ancestors.
"What was the name of that punch just now?"
After Shihōin Richū completed the barrier, his eyes were like daggers, staring at Aiyan.
"Sekizō!"
Aiyan spit out a name.
"I remember."
"Remarkable Hakuda indeed."
"Without Reiatsu's Hakuda, you can actually hurt me to this extent. Looking at the Three Realms and Ten Thousand Years, you are the only one."
Shihōin Richū clicked and remembered Sekizō's Hakuda:
"I know you should still be hiding stronger Hakuda, but."
"It's a pity that you have missed your only chance to defeat me."
"But even if you have a stronger Hakuda, you will no longer be qualified to use the ability called 'Hakuda'."
He held Zanpakutō in his hand and swung it down from the air.
"Cut! Aiyan Sōsuke, Hakuda."
The moment the blade fell and paused, a sound of shattering mirrors came from Aiyan's body.
Click!
If he was trapped in the Kidō barrier before, he had a feeling that the five Shinigami abilities of Reiatsu, Kidō, Hakuda, Shunpo, and Zanjutsu were suppressed, but then Shihōin Richū's Zanpakutō fell away.
He only felt as if an ability had been cut off in his mind and soul.
Forgot how to use Hakuda.
Whether it's Hakuda driven by Reiatsu, or Shunkō that doesn't rely on Reiatsu.
All in one moment, I forgot how to use it.
No.
To be precise, it is not forgotten. Aiyan still remembers the Shunkō, Shinigami Six Styles and many other Hakuda, but the strange thing is that he cannot use them.
It seems that fighting does not belong to his ability.
The body cannot use this skill at all.
I clearly remember it, but I can't use it. It's like I've lost this function.
This method of destroying Shinigami's Hakuda from the ground up, even if it is remembered, cannot be used. Compared with Ichibē Hyōsube's ability to kill names without killing flesh, although it is not as comprehensive, it is very effective in capturing Shinigami's Hakuda. On the one hand, there is nothing worse than worse.
If you are hit by Ichibē Hyōsube's Ichimonji, you will lose your name and forget how to use it.
But after being slashed by Shihōin Richū with his sword in the air, Aiyan could remember the Hakuda, but his body lost the ability to use the Hakuda. It was as if he was born with an inability to use the Hakuda.
Hiss
As the Hakuda were cut off, the blood-red steam lingering on Aiyan's body suddenly dispersed, as if it had never appeared.
"Don't expect to recover."
"As long as the five of us take over the Goshin: Fūin no Jōgen, all the Shinigami abilities that were cut off by us will never be restored."
"Not even The Almighty Soul King can do it!"
Kuchiki Sūjin raised Zanpakutō while suppressing Aiyan's fighting spirit:
"This is the power represented by the five surnames Kuchiki, Shiba, Shihōin, Tsunayashiro, and Amamiya!"
After saying that, the blade fell from his hand.
"Behead! Aiyan Sōsuke!"
