Chapter 191: Ryūjin Jakka!
Sensing the Reiatsu emanating through the air, several Quincies who had experienced the war from back then showed expressions of terror.
From the crowd, a red-haired mohawked youth leaped into the air.
His eyes wide, he stretched a palm toward the sky—
"Blazing... Inferno!!"
With the roar, several spiraling crimson flames shot out, flying toward the fissure in the sky.
On the other side, an elderly-looking Quincy abruptly drew two guns, firing a barrage of spirit arrows at the fissure.
Seeing these reactions, the younger Quincies exchanged puzzled glances.
With their side's strength, if any Shinigami dared to come, wouldn't they just kill them one by one?
Why did these seniors look as if they were facing an apocalyptic disaster?
Noticing several colleagues around him still frozen in confusion, the old Quincy roared:
"Don't just stand there! Buy time together!"
"If we don't open The Final District before Yamamoto Shigekuni gets in, everyone here will die!!"
At these words, the young Quincies jolted in shock.
The old man's name was Robert, a senior among the Sternritter.
Even among the knights, he was one of the top-ranked in strength.
For him to say such a thing, the Shinigami on the other side of the fissure must be truly dangerous!
Exchanging glances, they soared into the sky, charging toward the direction of the fissure.
Outside the fissure, at the Mikami Technical Bureau.
Bambietta, wrapped layer upon layer in Kidō restraints, could only stare wide-eyed with an incredulous gaze at the three individuals operating inside the room.
Satoru's eyes gleamed with excitement, a ferocious grin spreading across his face as he forcefully pried open the shadowy fissure before him with brute strength.
Beside him, Shunsui wielded his dual swords, releasing shadow energy to assist him.
Meanwhile, the white-bearded old man had, at some point, stripped off the upper half of his clothing, revealing a robust, aged physique.
The old man's face was as dark as iron, and he stood there like an enraged Vajra deity.
Gripping his long sword, his boiling, twisting Reiatsu continuously poured into the fissure.
To Bambietta, the old man before her resembled a ferocious tiger.
This savage beast pressed its murderous eyes and fang-filled maw against the crack of a partially opened door.
Should the people inside the door show the slightest negligence, the tiger would tear the door apart and charge in to destroy everything!
At this thought, she suddenly laughed.
These tigers probably had no idea.
On the other side of the door was a tiger even more ruthless and terrifying than them!
Just as she entertained this notion, a surge of Reiatsu erupted from the fissure.
The familiar Reishi fluctuations made her eyes light up.
Haschwalth!
He had finally arrived!
With Haschwalth taking action, these Shinigami were surely doomed!
Bambietta stared excitedly at the fissure, eager to see Haschwalth burst forth and eliminate the three Shinigami in the room.
Then, he would lead them, the Sternritter, to sweep through the Soul Society!
As if in response to her expectations, a terrifying Reiatsu shockwave erupted from the other side of the fissure the very next moment.
"Gah!!"
Satoru, struck head-on by the Reiatsu, let out a humiliating cry as he was sent flying upward, crashing violently into the ceiling.
The ceiling, constructed with sturdy materials to withstand experimental accidents, cracked extensively under the impact.
Yet, Satoru himself remained unharmed.
Beneath his torn clothing, his skin shimmered with a protective Reiatsu glow, completely unscathed!
Pushing off the ceiling with his back, Satoru executed a reverse flop-like launch, propelling himself back toward the fissure.
Shunsui, who had been assisting him, was also forced back several steps, barely managing to steady himself by driving his dual swords into the ground.
After repelling the two, the Reiatsu continued to surge outward.
In the next moment, this frenzied Reiatsu would breach the Mikami Technical Bureau, triggering a Reishi storm detectable across the entire Seireitei!
"Hah!!"
Yamamoto roared.
His Reiatsu surged once more.
What was already terrifyingly powerful now reached an unimaginable level.
The intense explosion triggered by Haschwalth's detonated sword was firmly suppressed by Yamamoto's Reiatsu alone.
Like an invisible pair of hands forcefully restraining a balloon on the verge of bursting, it neither allowed the balloon to explode nor escape, pressing it back with sheer force!
Bambietta: "…?"
Was she dreaming?
Haschwalth's full-power strike had been suppressed?
How was that possible?!
Yamamoto extended one arm, his muscles bulging.
With a forceful clench, he snuffed out the Reishi explosion released by Haschwalth, extinguishing it in the air.
After this astonishing feat, Yamamoto raised his Zanpakutō high.
Blazing flames erupted from the blade.
"All Things in the Universe, Turn to Ashes—"
"Ryūjin Jakka!!"
Amidst the furious roar, the blazing flames of Ryūjin Jakka surged violently into the shadow rift torn open by Satoru!
On the other side of the rift, Haschwalth's eyes widened—
"Vollständig!!"
Watching the flames erupt from the rift, Haschwalth let out an enraged shout.
Several Quincy ascending nearby instantly unfolded luminous wings from their backs.
The Quincy who had activated Vollständig, under Haschwalth's direction, simultaneously released their power, forming a ritual to block these hellish flames.
Feeling the terrifying force emanating from the flames, no one doubted Haschwalth's urgency anymore.
Just as everyone struggled to prevent the flames from invading, a short blade suddenly shot out from within the fire.
Trailing behind the blade was a long chain, resembling a fisherman's harpoon with an extended rope.
A burly Quincy sneered, spreading his thick five-fingered palm to meet the blade.
A blue glow shimmered across his palm.
Blut Vene!
The ultimate defensive ability representing the Quincy lineage!
Squelch!!
Under the astonished gazes of those around him, the burly Quincy's outstretched hand, along with his arm and shoulder, was cleanly split in two.
The shimmering blue Blut Vene proved utterly useless.
The burly man froze momentarily before letting out a agonized roar.
"Gaaaaahhh!!!"
Whoosh—clatter!
On the other side of the rift, Satoru retrieved Risō Jakumetsu.
Then he shook his head slightly:
"Pity, couldn't bring anything back."
Bambietta: "..."
For a moment, the young girl trembled uncontrollably.
Was this Shinigami treating them, the Sternritter Quincy, like fish to be hooked?!
What followed instilled even greater terror in her.
She sensed a Reiatsu fluctuation emanating from the other side of the rift.
That was... the trump card used to completely seal off the Wandenreich, cutting off all entry and exit for an extended period.
The Final Selection District!
This can't be happening?!
She was still on this side! How could they activate this?!
The acquisition and loss of Vollständig and Schrift, these two abilities, are precisely opposite.
Vollständig can be cultivated independently without Yhwach's blessing. It is a technique developed just over two hundred years ago based on the "Sanrei Glove."
However, once stripped away by Yhwach's Auswählen, it becomes unusable.
Schrift is the opposite—it cannot be obtained through training and must be granted by Yhwach's blessing.
Yet, after having one's power taken by Auswählen, there's a chance of retaining the Schrift, preventing complete incapacitation.
