Chapter 217: Steve



Chapter 217: Steve

Hitsugaya Toshiro is indeed a genius.

However, as previously mentioned, compared to other captains, he is still quite young.

His Zanpakuto, Hyorinmaru, is indeed very powerful, truly the strongest in ice and snow. However, it is precisely because of this strength that he is currently unable to fully harness its power.

In the original Bleach series, Hitsugaya Toshiro only mastered this power during the Thousand-Year Blood War arc.

Only after the three ice flowers behind him shattered did he truly complete his Bankai. Hitsugaya Toshiro then transforms into a young man, and his strength significantly increases.

However, before the Thousand-Year Blood War arc, the shattering of these three ice flowers usually signifies the disappearance of his Bankai.

Of course, from the readers' perspective, this all seems like a plot device. Ever since Aizen was defeated, there has indeed been some power imbalance and logical inconsistencies in Bleach. Readers have more or less gotten used to it: whoever falters first wins, whoever uses their ultimate move first loses.

"Yo, Captain Hitsugaya, your endurance isn't that great, huh?"

Fang Mo certainly doesn't care about any of this and starts to tease: "Your teammates were just about to engage, and your ultimate move is on cooldown? That's pretty bad, isn't it?"

"Damn it, you nuisance"

Hitsugaya Toshiro clenched his teeth, visibly angry but helpless.

Just then, a man's voice came from a distance: "Hado number 63, Raikoho!"

Ukitake Jushiro suddenly appeared nearby and launched a massive golden thunderbolt. At the same time, Kyouraku Shunsui, who had fallen to the ground, also suddenly propped himself up: "Hado number 78, Zangerin!"

Kyouraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro have been fighting side by side for many years, and their coordination was impeccable.

The Wheel of Light and Thunderbolt were shot from two different directions and cunningly aimed at Fang Mo, who immediately teleported. The two Kido spells collided in mid-air, and the resulting flash of light almost illuminated half of the Seireitei.

However, in the next second, an overwhelming spiritual pressure suddenly erupted.

"Senro Banken, reduce all to ashes... Ryuujin Jakka!"

Accompanied by an elderly voice, the surrounding temperature began to soar rapidly. An old man instantly appeared in front of Fang Mo, holding a flaming Zanpakuto and chopped it down without hesitation.

Fang Mo immediately raised his sword to block, but the old man's strength was clearly far beyond the other captains. The moment his Zanpakuto attack was blocked, the old man immediately raised his left fist and struck Fang Mo's chest. Taking advantage of the moment Fang Mo raised his other hand to block, he immediately activated his own Zanpakuto again, timing his moves impeccably.

"Torch!"

Blazing flames erupted from the old man, instantly engulfing Fang Mo's figure.

"The Head Captain has made his move!"

The crowd below saw this scene and finally breathed a sigh of relief. In their view, as long as Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni took action, the disaster would undoubtedly be averted.

After all, the strength of the head captain is just too strong.

Just in his initial release, his spiritual pressure and power already rival the Bankai of other captains.

However, just as everyone thought this, a fist suddenly emerged from the raging flames and struck Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's face hard, causing him to stagger back uncontrollably a few steps.

Following that, Fang Mo, who was unscathed, walked out of the flames.

"What... is this?!"

Everyone looked at Fang Mo's figure in disbelief for a moment.

"Old man!" Fang Mo carried a crystal greatsword and laughed arrogantly, "Your Zanpakuto is useless!"

Yes, although Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni is strong, his Zanpakuto is of the fire element. Fang Mo has a magical ring that theoretically grants immunity to all fire-based attacks, and this ring has even absorbed various artifacts from the Marvel universe, such as the Casket of Ancient Winters, Eternal Flame, and so on.

Even if it's just pure high temperature, even the temperature at the core of the sun, it would not harm Fang Mo at all.

"Is that so?"

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni showed no change in expression, even after taking a punch. Instead, he became more serious: "I wanted to ask you something about Quincy, but it seems I should sever your limbs first, and then interrogate you later."

Saying this, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni charged.

Fang Mo also narrowed his eyes; after all, the opponent was the head captain, and his strength was definitely not on the same level as ordinary captains.

The Snow Queen Sword clashed with Yamamoto's Ryujin Jakka, fire and ice counteracting each other. However, as Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni continued to increase his spiritual pressure, the flames began to take the upper hand.

There was no choice; the Queen of Ice could only control part of the Twilight Forest in her settings, making her weaker compared to Ryujin Jakka.

But Fang Mo could cheat.

Fang Mo's thoughts shifted slightly, and the magical ring instantly switched to zero-degree mode. An ancient extreme cold close to the cosmic freezing point burst from him, flowing into the crystal greatsword in his hand.

The temperature in the entire Seireitei began to plummet rapidly.

A layer of frost covered the ground, and even Ryujin Jakka's flames were suppressed.

"What... is this?!"

Hitsugaya Toshiro was stunned, watching this scene. Could it be that the opponent has the strongest ice-based Zanpakuto, surpassing even the oldest fire-based Zanpakuto, Ryujin Jakka? What did that make him?

"So this is what you rely on?"

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was not afraid but spoke coldly: "You think using an ice-based weapon against my Ryujin Jakka will work?"

As he spoke, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's spiritual pressure began to rise even more, but the flames on his Zanpakuto started to shrink inward. It was clear that he was about to release his Bankai, Zanka no Tachi.

This was also inevitable.

After all, the Snow Queen combined with the Ring of Arcana was just too overpowered, especially since the ring had also absorbed the Casket of Ancient Winters, a divine artifact capable of freezing an entire planet in the hands of a Frost Giant. Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, with just his initial release, could at most destroy a few cities and could not compete with this.

However, just as Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was increasing his spiritual pressure and preparing his Bankai.

Fang Mo's peripheral vision inadvertently swept over several people on the ground and happened to see Ichimaru Gin lying there with a bitter expression on his face. Then, Rangiku Matsumoto was using her body to protect him while trying to perform some kind of technique.

Yes, the Captain-Commander's Bankai is extremely powerful. The moment it's released, it can evaporate all the water molecules in the Seireitei. Coupled with the extreme cold domain created by Fang Mo, the two contrasting forces are unbearable for others, making them feel as if they're caught between fire and ice.

Even captains-level individuals felt noticeably uncomfortable, let alone vice-captains.

The fact that they could hold on without falling is already a great display of willpower and determination. Rangiku Matsumoto was doing this entirely to protect Ichimaru Gin, especially after he had just been severely wounded by her own attack.

"What the..."

It wasn't until this moment that Fang Mo finally snapped back to reality.

He had gotten a little too excited and completely forgot about the injured Ichimaru Gin. If he had actually started fighting the Head Captain, Ichimaru Gin would probably die, which would be somewhat awkward for him.

Thinking of this, Fang Mo felt a headache coming on.

Just as Fang Mo was lost in thought, a giant floating fish flew in from a distance, carrying the Fourth Division Captain, Unohana Retsu, and the Twelfth Division Captain, Mayuri Kurotsuchi.

"The more people I fight, the more come," Fang Mo muttered, "So a whole division's worth of forces has been dispatched to deal with me? That's troublesome. Guess I'll have to kill you all next time."

"Do you think you can escape?"

Upon hearing Fang Mo's words, all the captains below finally got their spirits up. This was their chance to finish him off.

Jushiro Ukitake and Shunsui Kyoraku simultaneously started casting spells, and Soi Fong also rushed forward without a second thought.

However, a flash of black light occurred, and Fang Mo vanished into thin air. All of their attacks hit nothing but air.

"What... how is this possible?"

Soi Fong couldn't believe her eyes. She knew Fang Mo had some kind of teleportation ability, but were there no limitations?

"Crafty villain..."

Yamamoto, who was about to release his Bankai, also looked grim at this sight.

But while the captains were focused on Fang Mo's escape, two Shinigami were not. One was Rangiku Matsumoto.

She immediately looked up at the hurriedly arriving Fourth Division Captain Unohana Retsu: "Captain Unohana, please save Captain Gin!"

The other was Hitsugaya Toshiro. He was guarding an unconscious Hinamori Momo, pondering deeply.

If what this villain claimed was true, that he didn't kill Aizen, then who did? Was it Ichimaru Gin or someone else? What was their motive for framing him?

Now that the Quincies had invaded Seireitei and started a war, this villain, who called himself something like "Wang Moe," was extremely powerful, having already defeated almost half of the Gotei 13 captains. Yet the Central 46 did not order the combined forces to eliminate him, but instead were urging the execution of Rukia Kuchiki to be carried out ahead of schedule. What exactly was going on?
