The shattering of the soul-blocking membrane brought with it a roar like thunder.
Below, the Shinigami of the Gotei 13 gathered together immediately after the black cavity reaction appeared.
In recent years, they have performed countless rehearsals to deal with crises that may break out at any time, and they are quite familiar with these things.
When something unexpected happens, we enter a state of combat readiness.
However, the enemy's strength still exceeded their expectations.
However, at the first sight, the soul-blocking membrane covering the sky above Soul Society was shattered.
This is an extremely incredible thing.
It should be noted that in this world, although the invasion of Soul Society by Kurosaki Ichigo also occurred, because Yoruichi was not leading the team at the beginning and they did not get help from the Shiba family, there was naturally no incident of the Shiba family's cannon penetrating the soul-blocking membrane and sending them into the Soul Society.
In the eyes of many Shinigami, the soul-blocking membrane is extremely strong and indestructible, and is the best defense of the Soul Society. It is its existence, as well as the walls built with murderous stones on all sides, that isolate all unauthorized existences, including but not limited to the civilians of Rukongai, Hollows, and various guys with bad intentions.
Even though there was an incident in which Aizen's Hollows invaded the Soul Society, the soul-blocking membrane was not broken at that time.
The Hollows under Aizen's command used special means to open the black cavity within the Soul Society, which allowed them to invade it.
But today, everything is turned upside down.
"The soul-shielding membrane is broken..."
The body of the Grim Reaper was shaking, finding it difficult to accept this fact.
"Is this the Quincy?"
Some people also have a more intuitive understanding of the power of the Quincy.
It is not known since when, but the Gotei 13 began to spread all kinds of knowledge related to the Quincies to the Shinigami under their command. This knowledge was specially added to the teaching materials of the Shinigami Academy. It can be said that the current Shinigami of the Gotei 13 are no strangers to the Quincies.
He also knew that there would be a war between the Shinigami and the Quincies sooner or later.
Although it is unclear why those captains are so sure that there will be a war between the two, because according to the records in history books, the Quincy was almost wiped out two hundred years ago.
But the captains all said so, and they could only choose to carry out their mission obediently, treat the Quincy as a hidden enemy, and then actively carry out this kind of exercise.
It was not until now, after the Quincy actually showed up, that they realized the captains' vigilance was justified.
A lot of knowledge about the Quincies, especially the abilities they possessed, flashed through the minds of the Gotei 13's Shinigami, and then, returning to reality, their eyes suddenly became fixed.
The breaking of the soul-shielding membrane was shocking.
What is more worrying is the Quincy's next move.
After Yhwach broke the soul-blocking membrane and eliminated the barrier between the Soul Society and the outside world, the many Quincies that had been standing behind Yhwach dispersed at the same time. They used their flying sickle kicks and flew in the sky at an incredibly fast speed. Finally, they stood still in various places in the sky.
After arriving here, they simultaneously took out their respective Quincy Crosses.
The Quincy Cross is an extremely important thing to the Quincy.
Normally, they are very small things.
And when the necessary moment comes, as the Quincy uses their own abilities, this thing will transform into their respective weapons.
As the weapon was held.
Many Quincy scattered across the country began to use their own abilities.
The Quincy of the Stern Cross Knights all possess their own Holy Words, and each Holy Word is unique, but there are only a few Quincy in possession of Holy Words after all, and the vast majority of Quincy only possess relatively common abilities.
What is the core ability of the Quincy?
It's a gathering of spirit particles!
Xu can devour spirit particles and use the method of devouring to make himself stronger.
The God of Death can cultivate his own spiritual power by slowly absorbing spiritual particles, thereby enhancing his own strength.
Quincy don't have the same strong physiques as Shinigami and Hollows, but the abilities they do possess are far more dangerous.
They can manipulate spirit particles at will.
This ability is called lepton clustering.
At this moment, under the manipulation of these Quincies, the spirit particles that originally filled various places in the Soul Society all gathered towards the Quincies.
"What do they want to do?"
After noticing the actions of these Quincies, someone couldn't help but speak up and asked a question.
Haven't waited for an answer yet.
A dark blue flame suddenly appeared in the sky.
Then, they quickly transformed into terrifying pillars of fire and fell from the sky.
Boom boom boom! !
Pillars of blue flames stood in various places in the Soul Society. Wherever they covered, even the buildings made of spirit particles were unable to resist and were burned to ashes.
In just a short moment, the entire Soul Society became riddled with holes and in ruins.
at first.
In fact, Natsuki and Captain Yamamoto were trying their best to avoid the war from spreading to Soul Society, so Natsuki chose to tell Captain Yamamoto the hiding place of the Quincies. That's why Captain Yamamoto was determined to use the Kidō Cannon and would rather destroy the Dangai than to completely exterminate Yhwach and the Quincies under his command.
But the latter failed.
The former is itself an extremely difficult task.
It’s because Yhwach’s goal is the Soul King, and the Soul King Palace is hidden in the sky above the Seireitei. If one wants to go to the Soul King Palace, he must go through Soul Society.
This is also the reason why Yhwach invaded Soul Society a thousand years ago.
Unless all the Quincies, including Youhabach, can be eliminated before he invades Soul Society.
This is what Captain Yamamoto thought and did.
But in the end, they still underestimated Yhwach's strength and overestimated the power of the Kidō Cannon.
The price of failure was that Yhwach invaded Soul Society.
The blue flame was filled with extremely rich temperature.
This is a flame created by highly concentrating leptons and igniting them as fuel. It is itself a force derived from the destruction of leptons.
The blue flame illuminated everyone's face.
There are many gods of death, some are afraid, some are fearless.
And on the faces of the captains, there was only fearlessness.
"Now, the battlefield is ready. Everyone, please fight!"
In the sky, Yhwach spoke. He looked at the Seireitei that was completely destroyed by the blue flames, and a smug smile appeared on his face.
A hundred years ago, they, the Quincies, hid in the shadow of the Soul Society, and it took them an unknown amount of time to build up their magnificent empire.
However, hundreds of years of hard work were destroyed in an instant because of a ghost cannon fired by the god of death.
After Yhwach woke up, he naturally hated the God of Death very much.
So after discovering that the God of Death was once again preparing to repeat his old tricks and destroy the space where they were hiding again, Yhwach first stopped it, and then decided to teach the God of Death a painful lesson so that he would understand that there are some things that should not be done.
The destruction of Seireitei was his gift to the God of Death.
Logically speaking, with Seireitei suffering such destruction under the cover of concentrated spirit particle flames, these Shinigami should be angry and sad. In fact, such emotions were indeed reflected on the faces of ordinary Shinigami, but Yhwach did not see these emotions on the faces of those captains.
Even Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, who was extremely angry after seeing him before, now calmed down.
However, the Shinigami of the Gotei 13 did not sit there and do nothing.
After Yhwach's words were spoken, he saw a figure releasing his Zanpakuto, rushing up from below, and attacking him.
"You were the first to attack?"
Looking at the figure flying towards him, Yhwach spoke softly.
The figure that attacked Yhwach said nothing.
With just a swing of the long sword, the red slash flew through the air and came in front of Yhwach.
Youhabach raised his empty left hand, and a small holy arrow of destruction was released from Youhabach's fingers, and instantly collided with the slash.
A rumbling sound came from the sky.
It attracted many people to look up and stare.
Even though Soul Society is the home turf of the Shinigami, they cannot fly without special abilities. Fighting so freely in the sky naturally makes many people envious. Apart from envy, what they are more looking forward to is the defeat of Yhwach.
It was because the one who faced Yhwach was their Kenpachi.
Natsuki Kenpachi!
This is the most powerful Kenpachi in history.
After the sound of collision was heard.
Above the sky, Xia Mu was covered in a crimson glow. He suddenly turned around and swung his sword.
The figure of Youhabach appeared behind him at some point. The black long sword that Youhabach had condensed with the Quincy Cross collided with the sword with a red glow in Xia Mu's hand, and the shock wave of spiritual pressure spread from the place where the two swords intersected.
Countless red arrows emerged from the void behind Xia Mu, aiming at Yhwach who was very close to him, and shot at him madly.
But he hadn't gotten close to Yhwach yet.
The spirit particles gathered around Yhwach's body and transformed into a powerful spiritual pressure wall, blocking all the attacks from the arrows.
The sword in Youhabach's hand and the sword in Natsuki's hand separated.
As he swung his sword, a crescent-shaped slash appeared in front of him, and then an arrow automatically appeared on the crescent. The sacred arrow of destruction condensed in an instant and flew towards Xia Mu.
This is a counterattack against Xia Mu.
Xia Mu attacked him with arrows, so he naturally had to respond with similar means.
Moreover, in the battle with Xia Mu, if such means were not used, Xia Mu would appear to be more like a Quincy.
As the founder of the Quincy, Yhwach could not accept such a thing.
After the battle between Natsuki and Yhwach broke out.
On the ground, the battle between the Quincies and the Shinigami also broke out.
The existence of the concentrated spirit particle flame is both Yhwach's revenge on the Gotei 13 and a barrier that covers and divides the battlefield.
Even though many people are unwilling to accept it, it is now an established fact that Seireitei has become a battlefield.
Except for Yhwach, the rest of the Quincies, after creating a massive flame of concentrated spirit particles to divide the Soul Society, flew down from the sky one after another and went to fight against the captain-level warriors of the Gotei 13.
And those ordinary Quincies also attacked the chief officers and ordinary members of the Gotei 13.
Captain Yamamoto was originally staring at the battlefield in the sky and was very concerned about the battle between Natsuki and Yhwach.
But after the battle started, a Quincy came to him.
He had to temporarily distance himself from the enemy and fight with the Quincy in a deserted place.
The same thing happened over and over again to each captain.
Although they had gathered together before, they instinctively distanced themselves after the battle broke out.
Fighting together is certainly a good thing.
But sometimes, soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, is also a way of fighting.
And those who can become captains are all fully confident in their own abilities. Before fighting, they naturally will not think that they are inferior to others.
"This is really exciting. I never thought that I would have the opportunity to fight a guy like you."
A tall young man with a purple-red Mohawk hairstyle, a screw on his left ear and a nut-like earring on his right ear, with an arrogant expression, who looked like a "Shamatte" looked like a "Shamatte" with his green eyes, looking at the extremely old Captain Yamamoto who was holding Ryujin Jakka in front of him, and said so.
The young man's name was Buzzby.
He was Haschwald's good friend when he was young. The two knew each other when they were very young, and later joined Youhabach's army together. However, unlike Haschwald, who was loyal and became Youhabach's adjutant, Bazby was just an ordinary member of the Stern Cross Knights.
And his purpose is to kill Youhabach!
Becoming a member of the Stern Cross Knights and killing Youhabach were not conflicting things for him.
This will allow him to gain experience and gain greater strength.
After so many years, he now believes that he is quite strong.
But he still did not challenge Yhwach because he did not have enough confidence at the moment.
Therefore, he needed to find an opportunity to measure himself and determine his current strength.
A thousand years ago, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni defeated Yhwach, and as a teenager at that time, Buzby witnessed the end of that battle.
Now, a thousand years have passed, and Yhwach is obviously more powerful than he was a thousand years ago.
But the fight with Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni is still of great reference value for Bazby.
If he could defeat Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, it would mean that he had the strength to fight against Yhwach.
Besides, the reason why Bazbee went to Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was because his holy word was "burning" and the power he controlled was also fire. Facing Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, the god of death who wielded the oldest and most powerful Zanpakutō of the heat type in Soul Society, he certainly wanted to fight him. (End of this chapter)
