The ice sealing technique used by Rukia was very similar to the "Spirit Coffin" that Yūsuke had once used to seal her sister, Hisana Kuchiki. Although the principles were not the same, the effects achieved were almost indistinguishable, both perfectly sealing living beings or spiritual bodies along with their life force.
When the seal was released, the state of the sealed person would still be perfectly restored, without any changes.
In the original Thousand-Year Blood War, Rukia, without the power of the Hōgyoku, only relied on her own ability to unleash the Bankai "Hakka no Togame" form, which was consistent with the current one, but her absolute zero's powerful force made it impossible for her to control it.
Not to mention developing such a perfect sealing technique as it is now, she couldn't even move normally, and it was called a 'extremely fatal Bankai' by Byakuya Kuchiki.
The 'extremely fatal' that Byakuya Kuchiki mentioned was not only aimed at the enemy, but also at Rukia herself.
"The rest is to find Inoue-kun and Sado-kun!"
Rukia put Sode no Shirayuki back into its scabbard, and the crystals on the inner walls of the frozen palace quickly receded at the same time, and soon returned to its normal state. The bone-chilling feeling disappeared, leaving only Ichigo's ice sculpture in the palace.
On the battlefield outside Las Noches, the all-out war had already begun, and the captains and the Espada members were already fighting together.
However, it was not difficult to see from the scene of the battle that the spiritual pressure of the captains was generally lower than that of the Espada, and almost all the captains were currently at a disadvantage.
At the center of the battlefield, the most watched battle was the one between Shunsui Kyōraku and Coyote Starrk, the first Espada.
As a veteran captain and regarded as the successor by Captain-Commander Yamamoto Genryūsai, Shunsui Kyōraku had always shown himself to be unfathomable, and Coyote Starrk, as the first Espada, was also regarded by most people as the top master in Las Noches, second only to Yūsuke.
At this time, Yūsuke and Yamamoto Genryūsai had both gone above the sky, so the most critical victory or defeat on the scene was likely to be between Shunsui Kyōraku and Coyote Starrk.
"Starrk! Charge, quickly kill him!"
Just as Starrk and Shunsui Kyōraku couldn't tell whether they were confronting each other or slacking off, Lilynette, who was riding on Starrk's shoulder, had already become irritable, banging Starrk's head with her small fists while shouting loudly to kill Shunsui Kyōraku in front of her.
However, Starrk was a master who was even more proficient in slacking off than Shunsui Kyōraku. Not only did he ignore Lilynette, who was making a fuss on his head, but he started chatting with Shunsui Kyōraku on his own.
"Captain, look, we're both so old, let's just skip the fighting, how about leaving this kind of battle to the young people around us?"
Hearing Starrk's words, Shunsui Kyōraku also showed a smile: "I didn't expect there to be such a sensible person among the Arrancar. It's really great. As expected of someone who ranks first among the Espada, you really have a very insightful view!"
Hirako had provided the information about the Espada to Kisuke Urahara, and Kisuke Urahara had also organized it all and handed it over to the Gotei 13 through Yoruichi's hands. Therefore, the rankings of the Espada were not a secret among the captains of the Gotei 13.
After Shunsui Kyōraku finished speaking, he actually used his strongest move, "Encouraging Drinking", and took out a sake bottle and two sake cups from inside his captain's haori.
As for Shunsui Kyōraku's encouragement to drink, Starrk was not so bold as to dare to drink the enemy's things.
The Gotei 13 also had a Research and Development Department. If they developed some kind of poison targeting Arrancar, he would be finished.
After being politely rejected by Starrk, Shunsui Kyōraku didn't get angry, and began to pour and drink for himself.
Although Shunsui Kyōraku seemed to be drinking, he was actually paying attention to the surrounding battle situation all the time.
"I didn't expect the power of the Espada to be so strong. Now, apart from hoping that the old man can defeat Uchiha Yūsuke, I can only hope for Kisuke Urahara's so-called backup," Shunsui Kyōraku thought with a lazy smile on his face, but his heart was very heavy.
At this critical moment, Shunsui Kyōraku's actions were not really to slack off, but to hold back the other party's strongest combat power.
He himself was not confident that he could defeat Starrk, so this kind of delay was the best strategy.
However, at this time, Starrk was much more at ease than Shunsui Kyōraku. He was also paying attention to the situation on the field, and the Arrancar had completely gained the upper hand.
As long as he remained undefeated, then Las Noches would win the overall victory.
The two uncles, who were slacking off while making their own plans, glanced at each other, and then silently looked away, as if they both knew what the other was thinking.
Apart from Starrk and Shunsui Kyōraku, these two slacking uncles, the other Espada and captains were fighting very hard.
Among them, Tier Harribel, the third Espada, was facing Tōshirō Hitsugaya, the captain of the tenth division. Comparing the intensity of their spiritual pressure, Tōshirō, who was not too old, could be said to be far inferior to Harribel.
However, fortunately, his ice-type ability perfectly restrained Harribel's water-type ability, which gave him the ability to deal with Harribel.
But even so, he was still firmly suppressed by Harribel, and had no room to fight back at all.
Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck, the fifth Espada, was facing Chōjirō Sasakibe, Yamamoto Genryūsai's lieutenant. Being valued by Yamamoto Genryūsai, Chōjirō Sasakibe's own strength could be considered to be at the middle level among the captains.
However, facing Nelliel, who surpassed him in all aspects of spiritual pressure, speed, and power, he had no power to fight back at all.
If it weren't for the fact that Nelliel was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to bully this elderly Shinigami who was between an uncle and an old man, this battle would have ended long ago.
Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez, the sixth Espada, had found Jūshirō Ukitake, the captain of the thirteenth division, as his opponent. Although Ukitake had always been plagued by serious illness, his strength could be said to be at the upper level among the captains.
Ukitake's Zanpakutō was called "Sōgyo no Kotowari", and it was a rare dual-sword type Zanpakutō in Soul Society.
One of his two Zanpakutō could absorb any energy-type attacks, and the other could enhance and release the absorbed energy to counterattack. It could be said to be an extremely simple but also the most practical ability.
In addition, Ukitake himself was a master of Kidō, and his swordsmanship was also very outstanding. If it weren't for his weak constitution that made his endurance poor, he could be considered a perfect Shinigami.
It was precisely because of his strength that he became one of the few captains who was not at a disadvantage, and fought fiercely with Grimmjow, even forcing Grimmjow to release his Resurrección.
Facing Zommari Rureaux, the seventh Espada, was Ikkaku Madarame, the captain of the eleventh division. At this time, Ikkaku, who had a tough fighting style, was already in critical condition.
Zommari Rureaux's ability was to control the body parts of his opponents through his gaze. Once he looked at his opponent, he could leave an eye mark on the opponent's body.
As long as there was an eye mark on the body, the part where the mark was located would be controlled by Zommari Rureaux.
If the mark landed on the head, then the entire body and mind would be controlled by Zommari Rureaux.
At this time, there was already an eye on Ikkaku's bald head, and it was clear that he had been controlled by Zommari Rureaux.
And Ikkaku's opponent at this moment was no longer Zommari Rureaux, but his lieutenant and friend, Yumichika Ayasegawa.
It could be said that this battle was purely Zommari Rureaux's game. If he wanted to end it, he could let Ikkaku understand his own life at any time.
