Whoosh!
The cone-shaped light arrows shot out at a speed difficult for the naked eye to capture, flying forth like bullets from a gun.
Jin, as if having foreknowledge, waved his hand and abruptly raised a wall of black flames in front of him.
However, these conical light arrows were like ghosts without substance.
They directly passed through the Amaterasu flames and continued charging towards Jin.
"Wha-!?"
Jin's face changed dramatically.
He then barely dodged the attack with a backflip.
However, the light arrows that missed their target flew about a hundred meters behind then turned 180 degrees in mid-air and continued pursuing Jin.
"An unseen technique, but insignificant."
Äs Nödt, on the other side of the Amaterasu wall, sneered contemptuously.
He controlled the light arrows to chase Jin.
"Damn it!"
Jin cursed angrily.
He used Flight Technique to fly into the air and flee.
"It's useless. Even if you flee to the ends of the earth, the [Fear Arrows] will never let you go."
Although the lower half of his face was covered by a black mask, from the way Äs Nödt's eyes were narrowed into slits, one could tell how smug he was at this moment.
"Wood Release: Hobi Technique!"
Jin tightly clasped his fingers together.
A demon-faced wooden shield over a hundred meters in diameter abruptly rose.
But the result was the same as before.
These conical light arrows passed through the wooden shield like Perona's ghosts, continuing to pursue their target.
"Physical barriers cannot stop his attacks!"
Rukia shouted a warning.
Although she still didn't know who Jin was, it's said that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Seeing him oppose the Quincy, she felt that compared to the Sternritter, this mysterious man of unknown origin could be considered an ally... right?
Just then, Jin made a 90-degree turn in mid-air.
He charged towards Äs Nödt below.
Rukia stared with her small mouth agape, "What is he trying to do?"
Äs Nödt maintained his expression of eyes narrowed into slits, sneering incessantly:
"Kid, don't think I don't know what you're planning. You intend to lure the Fear Arrows towards me, then change direction at the last moment, making me get hit by the arrows, right?"
As Jin dove down, getting closer and closer to Äs Nödt.
In the final instant, less than five meters away,
Äs Nödt suddenly mobilized the Reiatsu within his body.
On his left and right shoulders, he condensed two more light arrows and abruptly threw them.
"Do you think such a petty trick would work on me?!"
Instantly, Jin was caught in a pincer attack from front and back.
Rukia wanted to draw her sword to assist, but it was already too late.
She could only watch as Jin was struck by the Fear Arrows.
"Experience fear, you arrogant brat."
Äs Nödt laughed until his whole body trembled.
And Jin staggered and fell to the ground from high altitude.
"Ahhhh-!!!"
A few seconds later, Jin clutched his heart tightly.
He let out a heart-wrenching, frantic roar.
This was the power of [Fear]!
"Did defeating trash like BG9 and Cang Du make you so proud? They're only among the weakest in the Sternritter."
Äs Nödt walked up, looking down at the screaming Jin. He raised his finger, intending to reward the other with a Quincy-exclusive Heilig Pfeil to send him to Hell.
However, at this critical moment, Jin, who had been screaming incessantly just moments before, suddenly curled his lips into a strange smile.
"Just kidding~"
Whoosh!
At that very instant, the light arrow fired by Äs Nödt pierced through Jin's forehead.
However, the expected bloody scene did not appear.
Jin's body was like an illusory mirage.
"This is!?"
Äs Nödt's eyes widened like copper bells.
The next second, intense pain erupted in his chest.
He looked down.
A katana had already pierced through his heart.
Rukia, who had drawn her sword nearby, watched dumbfounded.
This scene reminded her of Aizen, who had once manipulated the entire Gotei 13 as he pleased!
"Co-complete hypnosis?"
Rukia exclaimed in astonishment, calling Aizen's ability.
"No, what you saw was real. I just reversed the reality unfavorable to me into an illusion and rewrote the illusion favorable to me into reality."
As Jin spoke, he twisted his wrist, shredding Äs Nödt's heart.
"Ugh ahhhh!!!!"
A scream that shook the worlds sounded again.
Only the person had changed.
And the Sharingan in Jin's left eye lost its characteristic red glow.
Only gray-white remained.
"So? How does fear taste? Feels good, doesn't it?"
Jin asked with a beaming smile.
...
Chat Group of the Dead:
[Hashirama: Th-this is!?]
[Izuna: Jin-boy actually used that move? The forbidden technique among forbidden techniques of our Uchiha Clan, Izanagi!]
[Tobirama: I've heard of it. The ultimate Genjutsu that can reverse illusion and reality at the cost of losing sight in one eye... Wait! Could it be that Madara used this...]
[Unohana: To think there is such an unbelievable technique. But isn't the price of losing an eye too great?]
[Jin: It's fine, this isn't my eye]
…
Jin's sudden reply left the group members bewildered.
'Not his eye?'
'What does that mean?'
The next second, Jin pulled the sword out of Äs Nödt's shredded heart.
Holding the sword in his right hand, his left hand suddenly clawed into his own eye socket.
Under Rukia's dumbfounded gaze, he forcibly gouged out his blinded left eye and threw it aside.
Then, Jin reached to the scroll pouch tied at his side.
Using the Summoning Technique, he summoned a portable test tube vial.
And an eyeball was quietly lying inside the vial filled with nutrient fluid!
Jin twisted the cap open, crushed the vial with his hand, then picked up the eyeball and reinserted it into his eye socket.
"See? Problem solved."
Jin said with a beaming smile.
Even old foxes from the Warring States period like the Senju brothers and Izuna realized what was going on when they saw Jin's maneuver.
First, remove your own eyes and preserve them.
Then replace them with spare Sharingan.
Use the spares as backups for casting Izanagi.
After the spare eyes go blind, reinsert your original eyes.
He didn't expect someone could actually play it like that.
...
While Rukia was still in a dazed state, Jin directly tore open Äs Nödt's white lab coat.
He roughly ripped off the Medallion pinned to the inner shirt on his left chest.
"I'll be taking Senbonzakura Kageyoshi."
Jin's left eye was still bleeding tears as he showed a satisfied smile.
"Wait!"
Just as Jin was about to leave, Rukia used Shunpo to appear in front of him, shouting angrily:
"That belongs to Nii-sama! You can't take it!"
"Finders keepers, little girl. That's society for you..."
Jin waved the Medallion in his hand.
"Who are you calling little girl? I'm at least ten times your age!"
Rukia said indignantly:
"Anyway, give that back to me now!"
"Don't even think about it."
Jin used Flight Technique and prepared to make a run for it.
Just as Rukia also prepared to use Shunpo to pursue, a massive amount of cherry blossoms enveloped Jin, who was airborne.
Rukia was momentarily stunned, then called out with a face full of joy and surprise:
"Nii-sama!"
Descending slowly from the upper right sky above Jin was none other than Kuchiki Byakuya, who ahs returned from his training in the Soul King Palace!
"Couldn't you have come a minute later?"
Jin made an exasperated expression.
'This trope of reinforcements arriving at the critical moment to save the day has been overused in Shonen Manga, alright?'
'Although in the Naruto World, there was a certain delivery guy who was always one step too late when saving people.'
'For that, he was resented by his student for a lifetime.'
"Vile person who meddles with others' possessions, release Senbonzakura. It does not belong to you."
Byakuya, floating imposingly in mid-air, pointed at Jin with a face full of stern coldness.
"The resources in this society are limited. To succeed, you must seize them. It's a principle a young master like you probably wouldn't understand, right?"
Jin had no intention of letting go at all.
"Stubborn and unyielding."
Byakuya's expression grew a little colder as he waved his sword hilt, controlling a sea of cherry blossom petals to surge towards Jin.
As long as the main characters went to the Soul King Palace, their strength would receive an epic boost.
The protagonist, Ichigo, goes without saying.
Rukia comprehended her Bankai.
Renji comprehended his true Bankai.
And Byakuya trained his Senbonzakura's Shikai to the level of Bankai.
Well, the Soul King Palace can be said to be the Hyperbolic Time Chamber of the Bleach World.
Facing the sea of cherry blossoms surging like a floral tsunami, Jin raised his sword horizontally in front of his chest.
Instantly, the temperature within a radius of a hundred kilometers rose sharply.
Some flammable materials even began to catch fire.
At this moment, whether it was the Kuchiki siblings in front of Jin, or the other Captains battling the Sternritter, their faces all changed dramatically.
'This, this familiar feeling is...'
Whoosh! Boom!!!
Finally, giant pillars of fire shot up into the sky from various areas around the Wandenreich.
And the blade of the sword in Jin's right hand burned with a terrifying high temperature comparable to the surface of the sun.
It illuminated the entire Wandenreich!
"This Zanpakuto is..."
Even with Byakuya's temperament, upon seeing this, his poker face couldn't hold up.
Then came the release incantation that made all Captains, no, the entire Gotei 13, even Yhwach himself, wary.
"All Things in the Universe, Turn to Ashes - Ryujin Jakka!!!"
The surrounding towering pillars of fire collectively erupted at this moment.
Whoosh-!!!
The crimson sea of fire and the pink sea of flowers collided, vying against each other.
For three full seconds, the two sides were actually evenly matched.
Jin looked down and laughed:
"Still far from old man Yamamoto..."
'Damn, I really don't understand how the protagonist Kurosaki Ichigo went from a clueless rookie to someone who could defeat Aizen in just one year.'
'Did he have a system too?'
However, in the fourth second, the sea of fire completely suppressed the sea of flowers.
Like a dam swallowed by a tsunami, the pink sea of flowers turned into endless points of light, completely consumed and dispersed.
