Boom!
Almost instantly, the pitch-black giant cleaver collided head-on with the Zangetsu in Kurosaki Ichigo's hands in a brutal clash of pure force.
With just that single strike, a shockwave visible to the naked eye, carrying extre savagery and violence, rippled outward in concentric rings.
At the sa ti, all the captains who until now had only sensed the bull-headed Hollow Ichigo's strength through spiritual pressure revealed looks of unbelievable shock on their faces.
They saw that the towering black-armored warrior shattered in a single blow, like pottery smashed by a heavy hamr, instantly collapsing as countless fragnts scattered along with broken spiritual pressure.
And as the master, Komamura Sajin, who shared synchronized damage with his Zanpakuto, was as if subjected to death by thousands cuts. In an instant, countless horrifying lines of blood burst across his entire body.
That powerful backlash not only completely shattered the steel helt on his head, but also dyed his shihakusho and captain's haori a shocking crimson red.
Bang!
Komamura Sajin's massive body lost all combat capability from just that one strike, crashing heavily and limply onto the blood-soaked ground. His life-force spiritual pressure flickered like a candle in the wind, on the verge of going out.
And his opponent, the bull-headed Hollow Ichigo clad in grotesque Hollow bone armor, was completely unscathed.
"ROAR!"
There was not a single wound on the bull-headed Hollow Ichigo's body. That violent spiritual pressure continued to surge wildly, roaring like a mad beast as he shot off once again at full speed toward where Rosse had been.
"Bankai! Suzumushi Tsuishiki: Enma Korogi!"
Tosen Kana's low and grave voice rang out abruptly.
Almost at the sa mont, a pitch-black circular domain silently expanded in front of him, like a giant maw devouring all light, instantly enveloping the rampaging bull-headed Hollow Ichigo within it.
This was the absolute domain of his Bankai. Any enemy within it would be completely stripped of sight and plunged into total darkness where all five senses were lost.
"Everyone, my Bankai can probably only trap him for a very short while!"
Just as Tosen Kana's warning rang out, Hitsugaya Toshiro's figure had already rushed to Komamura Sajin's side at maximum speed.
He bent down, lifted the severely injured Komamura, and quickly retreated toward the rear with him.
Before Hitsugaya had gone far, a shocking change had already occurred within the black domain ford by Tosen Kana's Bankai.
BOOM!
Along with an earth-shaking explosion, Tosen Kana's Bankai domain instantly shattered.
Countless strands of black-red Cero spiritual pressure, carrying violently destructive intent and fragnts of shattered space, scattered madly in all directions like an out-of-control teor shower.
It was clear that they were about to cause irreversible secondary destruction to the surrounding Seireitei.
At that very instant, Kyoraku Shunsui, Ichimaru Gin, Kuchiki Byakuya, and the late-arriving Aizen Sosuke almost simultaneously used Shunpo.
With coordination taken to the extre, the four each occupied a position, seamlessly enclosing the bull-headed Hollow Ichigo, who was rampaging like a nuclear explosion, at the center.
"Bakudo number eighty-one. Danku!"
Four chantless incantations exploded from the mouths of the four captains at almost the sa ti.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Four transparent yet resilient walls of reishi, carrying terrifying spiritual pressure fluctuations, ford almost simultaneously at the center where the bull-headed Hollow Ichigo had burst out, sealing him completely without a single gap.
The destructive Cero aftershock that had just torn apart Tosen Kana's Bankai scattered outward and slamd violently into the four reishi walls ford by Danku.
The violent energy collision made those transparent reishi barriers tremble intensely, letting out overburdened cries as if they might collapse completely under the impact of the Cero at any mont.
But in the end, this was a defense jointly deployed by four captain-level powerhouses with perfect coordination.
Those four wobbling transparent walls, under the onslaught of this space-overturning rampage of Cero energy, were ultimately able to barely hold on.
And after withstanding the Cero, the four reishi walls completed their mission and dissipated into nothingness.
"ROAR!"
At the very center, the bull-headed Hollow Ichigo let out another earth-shaking roar. His eyes, filled with destructive desire, completely ignored the captains restraining him around the edges. Like a beast locking onto its prey, he fixed his gaze on Rosse hundreds of ters away and charged straight at him with unstoppable ferocity.
His target, from beginning to end, had only ever been Rosse.
Rosse was the enemy he wanted to kill most of all.
This sudden charge caused Kuchiki Byakuya, who happened to be positioned between him and Rosse, to have his expression darken sharply. Without the slightest hesitation, he drew his Zanpakuto and shouted:
"Bankai! Senbonzakura Kageyoshi!"
BOOM!
In the next instant, countless cherry blossom blades exploded outward in front of him, instantly forming a vast pink ocean. Like a visible storm of blades, it sought to completely block that out-of-control monster.
However, the Kurosaki Ichigo of this mont was no longer the one he once was.
Facing the Senbonzakura Bankai that had once left him completely at a loss, the bull-headed Hollow Ichigo chose total disregard.
He neither dodged nor blocked, but like a tank, brazenly crashed straight into that sea of pink blades.
Screech! Screeech!
Countless cherry blossom blades, carrying the sharpness to cut through everything, slashed madly against the pitch-black, hardened Hierro of the bull-headed Hollow Ichigo, producing teeth-grinding tallic friction sounds as sparks flew everywhere.
But no matter how exquisitely Kuchiki Byakuya controlled them, those billions of blades capable of cutting reishi could not break through the bull-headed Hollow Ichigo's Hierro in the slightest.
Seeing this scene, the already pale face of Kuchiki Byakuya instantly beca unsightly.
He had just witnessed Rosse leave a massive, bone-deep wound on that monster, yet his own Bankai could not even break through the opponent's skin.
This was enough to prove the enormous gap between their strengths, and it also made him, the head of the Kuchiki family, feel a sha that could not be washed away.
"Final scene! Hakuteiken!"
Kuchiki Byakuya no longer hesitated in the slightest. He gave up continuing to futilely block the enemy with cherry blossom blades, instead gathering every last petal of his Bankai state onto the Senbonzakura in his hand.
Buzz!
In an instant, his Zanpakuto erupted with dazzling pure white light.
At the sa ti, two massive and magnificent reishi wings burst open behind him, like sacred arcs of light.
This was Kuchiki Byakuya's strongest strike, the ultimate secret of Senbonzakura, the embodint of all his pride and power.
Whoosh!
Almost instantly, Kuchiki Byakuya's figure transford into a streak of speeding white light. Carrying unwavering resolve and a willingness to die, he charged straight at that black monster without hesitation.
He knew very well that even in the strongest form of his Bankai, he was most likely still not a match for his opponent.
But as a mber of the Kuchiki family, there had never been an option to retreat in the face of a powerful enemy.
The Kuchiki family only falls on the path forward.
