Chapter 181: The "Vanishing" Sun
How terrifying is Fiander's Reiatsu at this time? After awakening the godhead within his body, he has completed the transformation of his life level. He has surpassed the boundary between Shinigami and Hollow, and his strength has exceeded even Ichigo in his Mugetsu state.
When he unleashed Hadō of the highest order released with all his Reiatsu, the entire earth of Fake Karakura Town trembled.
Five massive dragons transformed from Reiatsu rose into the sky and coiled overhead. Their ferocious faces roared in Genryūsai's direction, and the sound of dragon roars echoed through the huge space surrounded by icicles.
"Kido? You, who claim to be a god, only use Shinigami techniques to fight?" Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni laughed contemptuously. The flames released around him instantly surged and rushed toward the surrounding icicles.
Ignoring Genryūsai's sarcasm, Fiander raised his hand and waved downward. The five giant dragons hovering in the air kept roaring, their bodies exuding deadly coldness.
Under Fiander's control, they rushed straight toward Genryūsai below.
"ROAR!"
BOOM!!
The smoke and dust raised by the violent explosion shot straight into the sky. Standing in the air, Fiander looked at the massive smoke below with a solemn expression. The phantom behind him waved lightly, and a fierce cold wind struck, blowing the smoke away.
In Fiander's sea of consciousness, Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni's life flame still burned very strongly, like a vibrant volcano exuding hot and powerful presence. Obviously, the highest level Kido condensed from his own Reiatsu still hadn't dealt effective damage to his opponent.
"This is somewhat troublesome..."
Fiander murmured, beginning to think about countermeasures in his heart. But whether to admit it or not, this was indeed Captain Yamamoto—a man that even Aizen and Yhwach were unwilling to confront directly.
The smoke dissipated, but the crimson flames on the ground were still so dazzling. At the center of such a violent explosion, even the surrounding icicles had shattered. Genryūsai still stood on the spot like the sun itself. He hadn't retreated a single step.
"Hah..."
After taking a deep breath of cold air and exhaling heavily, Genryūsai slightly opened his eyes. A gleam of light flashed across them.
On his forehead, several bleeding wounds had appeared. But as traces of flames rushed past, the blood that flowed out instantly evaporated and disappeared without trace.
Suddenly, Genryūsai's figure vanished from the spot and appeared less than a few meters behind Fiander.
"You still dare approach me so rashly?"
Even without turning his head, Fiander could still clearly sense the scorching heat behind him. That heart flame beating like the sun was extremely hot—just getting close to the other party had already evaporated the moisture in the atmosphere.
"You're far too arrogant, brat!"
"Zanka no Tachi, North—"
Suddenly the flames covering his body subsided again. Genryūsai didn't dare delay any longer and raised his hand to strike directly.
At the moment when Genryūsai raised his arm and hadn't yet swung the blade down, his entire body was enveloped by dark blue ice crystals exuding an extremely cold aura.
Spreading from his legs to his upper body, in just a few seconds, Genryūsai's arms were frozen, rendering him unable to move for even half a minute.
"Arrogance? It seems you have some prejudice against me!"
Fiander turned his head suddenly, staring at the other party with a pair of crystalline white eyes. Obviously without any movement, he had silently frozen Genryūsai's body directly.
After a moment, Genryūsai, who was trapped by Fiander, had only half his face exposed outside. The flames around him had been extinguished, as if annihilated by the ice covering his entire body.
"Im...Impossible! My Bankai..."
"Hadō Number Nine—"
Even at the most dangerous moment, Genryūsai still wanted to resist. If the flames of his body were extinguished, he'd use his Zanpakuto. If his Zanpakuto couldn't be used, he'd use Kido chants.
The moment Genryūsai opened his mouth, his face that had finally been exposed to the outside world was also covered with ice. His entire body maintained the movement of holding his blade, transforming into a lifelike ice sculpture.
"It's an amazing ability. You are the only one with a Bankai that can affect the entire world, Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni!"
Fiander suddenly walked to Genryūsai's side, brought his face close to the ice sculpture the other had become, and whispered, "Do you wonder why your flames went out?"
"Obviously you possess sun-like heat, yet you cannot resist my ice. It's actually very simple. I simply froze your soul. With your soul frozen, how can you continue maintaining your Bankai?"
"Although your ability is admirable, the gap between our dimensions is too large. You cannot stop me from attacking at a higher level."
At this moment, Fiander extended his hand and swiped through the air. The space behind Genryūsai was instantly torn apart, and a massive Garganta appeared.
"Farewell, Captain-Commander. I was very pleased to fight with you. You allowed me to test my true strength—I'm very grateful!"
"Then my next goal will be the Soul King's Palace. I will completely destroy the Soul King and liberate this world. You will wander in boundless darkness until your soul is exhausted, then disappear from this world!"
After speaking, the phantom behind Fiander extended its fingers and pushed through the air. The ice sculpture transformed from Genryūsai fell directly into the Garganta behind him, falling into the boundless Dangai.
So far, Fiander vs Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni—Fiander Moros wins!
(Original Author's Note: Considering the important plot of Captain Yamamoto in the Thousand-Year Blood War arc, we can only have him exit early. The main reason is that my writing skills are limited and cannot describe overly exciting battle scenes. Instead of continuing to stalemate and stall plot advancement, it's better to present what I want to write to you faster!)
