"This world has East, so it must have West!" Yamamoto declared. "To make you feel the pain Chōjirō endured, I'll awaken the deepest fears in your soul, even if it means harming the entire Soul Society! Let the sinful bones of the past relive the despair of being incinerated!"
His aged body seemed reborn in flames, the temperature soaring past 10,000 degrees, approaching the sun's core. Crimson flames enveloped him, transforming into a radiant solar cloak. To the onlookers, Yamamoto became a living sun, radiating 15 million degrees of destructive heat.
The air crackled as all moisture evaporated. "Exaggerated! A Zanpakutō becoming a literal sun?!" Viewers were stunned, their souls shaken. Yamamoto wasn't just a Shinigami—he was a solar deity.
Yhwach, facing this "sun," suffered most. His Blut Vene weakened as the flames consumed the ambient reishi, igniting his cloak and searing his skin. "Feel the pain of being burned, Yhwach!" Yamamoto intoned. "Zanka no Tachi, West—Zanjitsu Gokui!"
His sandal stepped on the scorched earth, splitting the Seireitei. Hellfire spread through black fissures, and each step radiated blinding light, illuminating the sky. "Fifteen million degrees of flame—untouchable, unbreakable, melting anything it contacts. How will you counter it?"
Yhwach, desperate, tried to retreat but found an invisible flame barrier blocking him, fueled by the reishi in the air. Trapped, he could only watch as the world turned crimson.
In the Fifth Division's underground chamber, Gin, shielded by Aizen's Hadō 81: Dankū, gasped, "Fifteen million degrees? That's terrifying!" Aizen, unfazed, explained, "What we see aren't just flames but Yamamoto's spiritual pressure, so potent it manifests physically. This is beyond a Shinigami's limits."
Gin noted Yhwach's tattered state, likening him to a stray dog. Aizen disagreed, sensing Yhwach was preparing a counterattack. Sure enough, Yhwach leaped into the air, chanting, "Heiliger Gesang—Sankt Zwinger!"
A massive blue reishi cross erupted, dispelling the crimson flames and giving Yhwach a lifeline. "Sankt Zwinger—a Quincy barrier that slays any who enter!" Yet Yamamoto remained unmoved. "Futile. Since you don't understand despair, let the souls slain by Zanka no Tachi show you the truth…"
He plunged the rusted blade into the ground, his solar cloak roaring. "Fallen souls… ashes scattered by my flames… lend me your strength and revel in this battlefield's joy!"
