Clang!
On another side of the Wandenreich.
Two white figures collided in mid-air.
After a spark burst forth, they separated.
They were none other than Hitsugaya of the Gotei 13 and Cang Du of the Sternritter.
Around Hitsugaya's body, faint gray mist surrounded him.
This was the ability of his Lieutenant, Rangiku.
Through the fusion of ice and ash, he could use a vacuum multi-layered ice combination technique, greatly enhancing the defensive capabilities of the ice.
This compensated for the lack of offensive power caused by losing his Bankai.
"Bankai..."
Realizing he couldn't easily defeat Hitsugaya, Cang Du's eyes sharpened.
Giant ice wings rose from his back.
"Daiguren Hyorinmaru!"
It was straight-up NTR right in front of Hitsugaya.
"Ryusenka!"
The next instant, Cang Du didn't hesitate to use the Bankai Hyorinmaru's ability.
An enormous ice pillar descended from the sky.
Seeing this, Hitsugaya swung his sword to block, while Rangiku's Haineko also activated its ability.
The ice + ash combination technique met the challenge head-on.
Whoosh- Boom!
A dull, heavy sound echoed in the sky.
The two sides were deadlocked for about two seconds.
Then the ice from Hitsugaya's side below was suppressed.
Even with his Lieutenant's assistance, the strength of Shikai and Bankai were simply not on the same level.
BOOM!!!
However, just as Hitsugaya and Rangiku were about to be overwhelmed, an ear-splitting, shattering sound almost deafened everyone present.
Cang Du turned to look.
He saw a golden warhead that split the clouds like a chasm, charging straight towards him.
"Is that Captain Sui-Feng's!?"
Rangiku below widened her eyes in shock, crying out.
Hitsugaya's expression beside her wasn't much better.
He, of course, recognized it too.
It was Sui-Feng's Bankai, Jakuho Raikoben!
"Sennen Hyoro!"
In this situation, Cang Du could no longer focus on dealing with the kid and woman below.
He quickly swung his sword backhanded.
Instantly, he created a massive ice pillar hundreds of meters tall in front of him, which rapidly arranged and combined to block his front.
Boom!!!
A mushroom cloud abruptly rose on one side of the Wandenreich.
A violent invisible shockwave madly spread out, blowing away the cannon-fodder-level Shinigami and Quincy.
Hitsugaya and Rangiku barely managed not to be blown away.
But the gale still whipped their Shihakusho about wildly.
"Hmm~ It seems Sui-Feng's attack power is still stronger than little Hitsugaya's defense~"
On top of a castle several kilometers away, Jin, shouldering the golden heavy cannon, said with a beaming smile.
The mushroom cloud opposite gradually dissipated.
Cang Du, who flew out from within, had one of the ice wings on his back half-shattered.
He had become a one-winged angel.
Blood also continuously dripped from his forehead, covering a third of his face.
Jin was also quite curious.
'In the original work, Ryujin Jakka was set as the strongest fire-type.'
'While Hyorinmaru was the strongest ice-type.'
'Logically, these two swords should be on the same level.'
'But when they fight... why is it like heaven and earth?'
Jin honestly couldn't recall Hitsugaya winning against anyone.
Every time he thought of him, the first thing that came to mind were his famous scenes of being beaten up.
Although Kyoraku once said that if given a hundred years, Hitsugaya could surpass him, based on little Hitsugaya's performance in the original, Jin felt that even given a thousand years, he wouldn't reach Yamamoto's level.
"Who is that guy!?"
At this moment, Rangiku also spotted Jin shouldering Jakuho Raikoben and cried out in shock.
She also knew Sui-Feng's Bankai had been stolen.
She instinctively thought Jin was a Sternritter's Quincy.
'But that didn't make sense.'
'If that man was a Quincy, why would he attack his comrade?'
"Wait! That Zanpakuto seems somewhat familiar?"
Hitsugaya, on the other hand, focused his gaze on Ryujin Jakka at Jin's waist.
The more he looked, the more familiar it seemed!
"You... killed BG9?"
Seeing the golden heavy cannon on Jin's shoulder, Cang Du guessed what had happened.
The next second, Cang Du, maintaining his one-winged angel state, charged towards Jin at extreme speed.
Clap!
Jin brought his palms together with a sharp clap.
A giant wooden humanoid, no smaller than the earlier Complete Body Susanoo, rose from the ground.
Wood Release: Wood Human Technique!
But that wasn't all!
As Jin clasped his hands together, the Mangekyo in his eyes also spun wildly.
Whoosh- Boom!
Silver-white Chakra burned over the wooden humanoid's surface.
And coated it with a layer of silver-white armor.
Wood Human clad in Susanoo!
The Susanoo Wood Human condensed a large Chakra Sword in its right hand.
Its right foot stepped back, its upper body twisted.
It swung the sword in a sweeping motion!
Cang Du's pupils contracted, and he manipulated his ice wing to dodge sideways in mid-air.
Whoosh- Rumble!!!
A deafening roar came from behind.
Hitsugaya, Rangiku, and many others on the battlefield turned to look.
They saw that everything within a range of over ten miles behind them: castles, buildings… had been cleanly sliced in two as if they were tofu.
They collapsed the next second.
"Destructive power is good, but too scattered."
Cang Du, having dodged, swung his sword backhanded.
Huge chain ice pillars thrust forward.
Ryusenka!
They pierced through the Complete Body Susanoo's armor and continuously advanced towards the user inside, intending to impale Jin himself along with it!
Just as the ice spike pierced through the Susanoo's armor, and was less than five centimeters away from Jin's forehead in its final instant, the fierce bandit from another world curled his lips.
"Are the Quincy who steal Bankai all trash like you? Even heaven is helping me."
Indeed, whether it was BG9, who stole Jakuho Raikoben, or Cang Du, who was cuckolding Hitsugaya right now, their strength within the Sternritter could only be considered mid to low tier.
If Jin didn't rank them in the bottom tier, it would only be because he was giving them some dignity.
'To have their Bankai stolen by such trash...'
'It seemed that after Aizen was imprisoned, the Captains of the Gotei 13 had grown lazy.'
The moment his words fell, the ice spike completely pierced through Jin's head.
"He's finished!?"
Rangiku exclaimed in astonishment.
Shing-
The sound of a blade being drawn rang out.
Cang Du's face changed dramatically, and he instinctively turned around.
But what greeted him was a drawn blade.
It slashed fiercely towards his throat.
Slash!
The blood gushing from his own throat blocked Cang Du's vision.
In his final moments, Cang Du used all his strength to turn his head and look back.
He saw that on top of the giant's head, Jin, who had been pierced by the ice pillar, was precisely at that moment turning into black flames and vanishing into the void.
Amaterasu Shadow Clone!
Just as Cang Du completely fell, Jin reached out and snatched the Medallion from his chest.
Then he kicked him away.
Thud!
He landed in front of Hitsugaya and Rangiku.
"I'll be taking Daiguren Hyorinmaru."
Jin looked down with a smile.
The cuckolder got cuckolded by an even better cuckolder!
Multiple layers of cuckolding!
"Just who are you!?"
Hitsugaya roared sternly.
"A passerby, just passing through."
Jin flicked his finger at the two below, revealing a sunny, cheerful big boy smile, then turned and flew away.
"Stop!"
Hitsugaya, seeing this, wanted to give chase.
"Ugh..."
However, at that moment, Cang Du's 'corpse' at his feet suddenly let out a groan.
Hitsugaya's steps halted.
'He's not dead!?'
That's right, Jin hadn't killed Cang Du.
After all, doing so could more or less divert Hitsugaya's attention.
Clearly, he succeeded.
In the five seconds Hitsugaya spent confirming Cang Du was alive, and hesitating between chasing the mysterious man or throwing this half-dead Quincy into prison…
Jin had already flown far away.
…
"Hello there, Rukia-chan~"
In another area of the Wandenreich,
Jin, having landed, greeted Rukia, who had cut her onion-head hair into shoulder-length short hair.
He felt that Rukia losing her onion-head made her lose a bit of her charm.
"You are... Do I know you?"
Rukia instinctively held her Zanpakuto horizontally in front of her chest, full of vigilance.
In the current situation, her reaction was normal.
But Rukia didn't immediately draw her sword.
Because she didn't sense the slightest Reiatsu from Jin.
'Not a Shinigami, not a Quincy, not a Hollow...'
'Is, is he human?'
'Why would a human appear in a place like this?'
"Kuchiki... Rukia..."
A voice like a demon's call came from behind the two.
They turned to look.
A Quincy wearing the Sternritter's signature white lab coat, with middle-parted long hair and a mask covering the lower half of his face, of indeterminate gender, descended from the sky.
"Äs Nödt..."
Rukia gritted her teeth, muttering the other party's name under her breath.
The Quincy who severely injured her brother and stole Senbonzakura Kageyoshi!
'But there's no need to worry!'
'Through my training in the Soul King Palace, I had found a way to counter the other party's [Fear] power!'
Thinking this, Rukia secretly drew Sode no Shirayuki, preparing to activate its ability.
By lowering her body's temperature below freezing, causing her body to enter a 'frozen to death' state, she could become immune to fear!
This method was somewhat similar to the one used by Sasuke and Itachi to break Genjutsu with Genjutsu.
However, before Rukia could activate Sode no Shirayuki's ability, she saw this mysterious man, who had no Reiatsu and seemed entirely human by all senses, step between her and Äs Nödt.
"You... what are you doing?"
Rukia asked in surprise.
"Hey, dead sissy~ You have Senbonzakura Kageyoshi on you, right?"
Jin asked with a beaming smile.
"Who are you?"
Äs Nödt asked coldly.
"You didn't deny it, so it seems you do."
Jin slowly walked towards the other.
"Since you're about to die anyway, why not give it to me? That way, I can even visit your grave on your anniversary every year."
Jin's smile remained.
"You're asking for death!"
Numerous azure cone-shaped objects materialized around Äs Nödt's body.
The next instant, they shot towards Jin like funnels.
