[As the false Yhwach completed his incantation, massive dark blue crosses erupted from the ground, forming a formation resembling a field of tombstones.]
[This was Kirchenlied: Sankt Zwinger—a powerful Quincy technique designed to tear apart anything that entered its domain.]
[The formation appeared poised to inflict serious damage on Captain-Commander Yamamoto, who was now surrounded within its perimeter.]
[However, Captain-Commander Yamamoto remained completely unafraid, instead continuing to activate his own devastating technique—Kaka Jūmanokushi Daisōjin!]
The sight of Yamamoto's necromantic technique sent shockwaves through the viewing audience:
[Matsumoto Rangiku: This is another technique from Captain-Commander's Bankai... It's genuinely unsettling!]
[Kuchiki Rukia: I never expected Captain-Commander Yamamoto would have moves that don't rely solely on destructive power. This is completely different from what we know about him.]
[Shiba Isshin: It seems Captain-Commander Yamamoto has been hiding his abilities deeply. Did this technique pull out vengeful souls from hell itself? It's terrifying...]
The Quincy of the Wandenreich immediately launched into complaints:
[Gerard Valkyrie: You can even summon the undead—do you Shinigami still dare claim you represent justice?]
[Lille Barro: Perhaps you yourselves are the evil side, merely slandering us as if we were the worst sinners.]
[Jugram Haschwalth: Calling our Majesty inhumane—how do you think you're any better? As a soul-purifying Shinigami, it's truly contemptible that he would disturb the peace of the dead this way.]
[Pernida Parnkgjas: Indeed. These were our Quincy compatriots, which makes us feel very unpleasant.]
[Askin Nakk Le Vaar: I hope our Majesty quickly eliminates this Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni and shows him how excessive his wrongdoing has been. Such a person must be completely destroyed.]
[Ulquiorra Cifer: In all the previous scenes we've witnessed, Captain-Commander Yamamoto never used such grim techniques. It truly befits the title "Shinigami"—Shinigami indeed!]
The Shinigami of Soul Society loudly refuted these accusations:
[Hitsugaya Toshiro: Hmph! As long as it's a technique that can defeat you, even comparatively underhanded methods are justified!]
[Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni: Most of these resurrected bones originally belonged to you evil people. Using them as tools is perfectly reasonable. Remember, a thousand years ago, if you hadn't initiated attacks on our Soul Society, how could we have been forced into war?]
[Orihime Inoue: That's right! We stand for justice. Our war is a righteous conflict defending Soul Society—definitely not comparable to you aggressors.]
For a time, the audience argued endlessly without resolution. Shinigami from Soul Society, Quincy from the Wandenreich, and even members from Hueco Mundo were all quarreling intensely.
However, the hearts of many Shinigami were also troubled—having their Captain-Commander use such techniques was indeed somewhat uncomfortable to witness.
But to defeat Yhwach, we can't afford to be concerned with such matters.
Some Shinigami even found themselves wondering: If we died under Captain-Commander Yamamoto's blade, would we also be resurrected by him?
Captain-Commander Yamamoto's Zanka no Tachi is so powerful... it wouldn't be surprising if he'd accidentally harmed many teammates in the past, would it?
The Captain-Commander from a thousand years ago was indeed a legendary, peerless warrior who would do anything to defeat enemies—even sacrifice his own side if necessary.
Then among these resurrected undead, there should also be members of the Gotei 13, right?
The more they thought about it, the more emotional the Shinigami became.
If we hadn't seen this projection, we really couldn't imagine that this elderly, kind Captain-Commander... was truly the merciless demon from a thousand years ago.
[While everyone debated, the summoning ritual in the projection was rapidly completed.]
[Countless dead souls, radiating an eerie ghostly aura, slowly climbed out from the formation.]
[They emerged like writhing maggots—it was impossible to determine their exact number. They were densely packed together in horrifying masses.]
It's conceivable that everyone who ever died at Captain-Commander Yamamoto's hands... truly represents a mountain of corpses and sea of blood!
Calling it "Kaka Jūmanokushi Daisōjin" (Great Cremation of Ten Trillion Deaths) isn't an exaggeration at all!
[The dark scene created a stark contrast with the previous fiery display. This time, it wasn't Captain-Commander Yamamoto's overwhelming attack power causing fear—rather, the terror emanated from the very depths of one's soul.]
[Even Shinigami who had encountered countless souls and fought numerous powerful opponents found themselves momentarily stunned.]
Some Shinigami began wondering: could all the undead killed by every Shinigami in Soul Society's history even compare to the undead killed by Captain-Commander Yamamoto alone?
It seems his former title as a demon was indeed well-deserved.
[Captain-Commander Yamamoto spoke to the false Yhwach in an indifferent tone.]
[Yamamoto: "The ashes of everyone I have killed will be awakened by the heat radiating from my blade!"]
[His voice carried absolute authority.]
[Yamamoto: "These undead will become my soldiers! Anyone who identifies me as an enemy will be completely destroyed."]
[Upon hearing this, the false Yhwach couldn't help but curse.]
[Royd Lloyd: "As captain of the Shinigami, you actually bring the dead back to life—what a joke! You're so despicable! Do you think you can stop me with something like this?"]
[He quickly leaped upward, attempting to slash at Captain-Commander Yamamoto.]
SWOOSH!
[However, at that moment, countless undead rapidly stacked together, forming a towering human pyramid that blocked Yhwach's attack.]
[Even when he slashed with full force, there was no way to cut through all the layers of corpses—there were simply too many of them.]
It truly could be called "Kaka Jūmanokushi Daisōjin"!
[Even if individual bones were weak, when stacked together, they formed an unbreakable barrier.]
[Captain-Commander Yamamoto further mocked the false Yhwach, who was falling into madness, striking at his psychological state.]
[Yamamoto: "Hehe, although you have a sharp tongue, your eyes don't seem very bright! Look clearly! You just broke the arm and shattered the face of someone familiar!"]
[Following Captain-Commander Yamamoto's hint, the false Yhwach seemed to recognize former subordinates among the undead.]
[Royd Lloyd: "Äs Nödt? Berenice? You guys..."]
[The imposter found himself speechless with shock.]
[While the false Yhwach was entangled by his former subordinates, Captain-Commander Yamamoto quickly created distance.]
[Seeing this, the imposter grew even more vigilant.]
What is this Captain-Commander Yamamoto planning now?
[Captain-Commander Yamamoto spoke as he walked away.]
[Yamamoto: "You don't need to be nervous. I'm simply putting some distance between us. If you want to kill me, just catch up!"]
[His tone was almost mocking.]
[Yamamoto: "However, you'll have to deal with these subordinates first... Didn't you find it very annoying that you couldn't steal my Bankai?"]
[His voice grew more confident.]
[Yamamoto: "But I know very well—it's not that you didn't steal my technique. It's that you CAN'T steal it!"]
[Captain-Commander Yamamoto's declaration thundered across the battlefield.]
He was indeed supremely confident in his strength.
[Yamamoto: "You Quincy must fully understand a technique's power before you can analyze and steal it, am I correct?"]
[His analytical mind was as sharp as his blade.]
[Yamamoto: "That's precisely why you're so wary of Kurosaki Ichigo, isn't it? Because he hasn't been learning for long, and his power is still evolving. So you certainly won't be familiar with his capabilities."]
[He gestured to himself.]
[Yamamoto: "And I haven't revealed my true strength for a thousand years. Bottomless techniques... cannot be stolen."]
[Taking a deep breath, Captain-Commander Yamamoto prepared to end everything.]
[Yamamoto: "So this is the end, Yhwach!"]
[He was ready to unleash an unprecedented technique to completely destroy his opponent.]
The Shinigami watching were filled with extreme anticipation.
Since there are East, West, and South techniques, there must be a North one too!
Captain-Commander Yamamoto should use this final technique to completely eliminate Yhwach, right?
Although these revenants are troublesome, they're not enough to cause significant damage to Yhwach. Everything depends on a decisive attack.
No matter how strong Yhwach is, there's no way he can withstand this blow from Captain-Commander Yamamoto, right?
With such expectations, everyone stared intently at the screen, eager to see how terrifying this final technique would be.
[The false Yhwach hissed with frustration.]
[Royd Lloyd: "You bastard, don't pretend you know everything! Don't think this kind of thing can stop me!"]
[Captain-Commander Yamamoto spoke with deep emotion.]
[Yamamoto: "I can see your tears, Yhwach. You must be very uncomfortable right now, correct?"]
[His voice carried psychological warfare.]
[Yamamoto: "If you don't destroy all the bones of your subordinates, you won't be able to touch me at all. You must hate me intensely right now."]
[He continued his assault on the imposter's psyche.]
[Yamamoto: "Even summoning dead subordinates to this battlefield—you must think I'm incredibly vicious. However, this pales compared to the hatred felt by those Shinigami you killed!"]
[At this moment, Captain-Commander Yamamoto had prepared his final move.]
[The ultimate judgment against Yhwach was about to be rendered.]
[His eyes blazed with fury, his hair flowing wildly as he burst forth with unprecedented spiritual pressure.]
ROAAAAR!
[Zanka no Tachi in his hands displayed whale-swallowing momentum, absorbing all flames in the area and compressing them into the blade.]
[After accumulating power, this world-destroying slash swept out instantly.]
[Yamamoto: "Zanka no Tachi, Kita: Tenchi Kaijin!"]
This was a heaven-destroying attack!
[This technique could cut through not just the false Yhwach before him, but potentially everything in existence.]
BOOM!
[The false Yhwach was completely consumed by the ashes of heaven and earth!]
[In Captain-Commander Yamamoto's eyes, the "Yhwach" before him was clearly bisected by the attack.]
[The imposter's pupils dilated abruptly and lost their luster.]
It seems that facing Captain-Commander Yamamoto's final blow, he couldn't defend at all.
[Everything could only return to dust—ashes to ashes, dust to dust.]
