Chapter 102 - The Terrifying Ryūjin Jakka!
Chapter 102 - The Terrifying Ryūjin Jakka!
Gilgamesh's chant wasn't loud. Among those present, only Future Yoruichi, who was held in his embrace, could hear it clearly.
Immediately, Future Yoruichi's face showed an expression of disbelief, as if she was doubting her own ears.
Of course, Future Yoruichi knew about Ryūjin Jakka.
But the key issue was that Ryūjin Jakka was the Zanpakuto of Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, the Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13, and it should still be in his possession at this moment.
Although Gilgamesh's Zanpakuto, Kennō, could control the Shikai and Bankai of other Zanpakuto, Ryūjin Jakka wasn't here. So how could he control it?
As Future Yoruichi's thoughts ran wild, she suddenly realized that the golden staff-like Kennō in Gilgamesh's hand had transformed into Ryūjin Jakka following his chant.
Future Yoruichi had once witnessed Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto unleash Ryūjin Jakka with her own eyes. Although it was a distant memory, it was still vividly imprinted in her mind, like an indelible mark.
So, Future Yoruichi recognized that what Gilgamesh now held in his hand was indeed Ryūjin Jakka.
Without giving Future Yoruichi much time to think, Gilgamesh swung the blade horizontally and softly chanted: "Jōkaku Enjō!!"
In the next moment, massive flames as large as hands erupted from Ryūjin Jakka's blade, enveloping the Minotaur Ichigo in an instant.
This scene stunned everyone present.
They had originally thought that Gilgamesh's Zanpakuto was a unique type that could control other Zanpakuto.
They never expected that Gilgamesh's Zanpakuto could actually release flames.
However, they believed that with this level of flames, it would be almost impossible to cause any harm to Minotaur Ichigo.
In their eyes, the flames of Jōkaku Enjō didn't seem intense or scorching and were just ordinary flames.
But this assumption was quickly shattered.
Minotaur Ichigo roared as he charged out from the flames of Jōkaku Enjō.
Just as Minotaur Ichigo broke through, the flames of Jōkaku Enjō suddenly surged, exuding an overwhelming heat that chased after Minotaur Ichigo.
In the next moment, Minotaur Ichigo was engulfed in the inferno, screaming in agony as his bone-like skin was charred black and even reduced to ashes by the intense heat.
In an instant, thick black smoke billowed from Minotaur Ichigo's body.
Because of her proximity, Future Yoruichi felt the full intensity of the heat radiating from Jōkaku Enjō.
The flames Gilgamesh unleashed were utterly terrifying. Even someone as powerful as Minotaur Ichigo could barely withstand it.
If it weren't for Minotaur Ichigo's ultra-fast regeneration ability, he would have likely turned to ash in the scorching flames.
Future Yoruichi had initially doubted whether Gilgamesh could truly wield Ryūjin Jakka's techniques.
But now, she was completely convinced.
She knew that the most terrifying aspect of Jōkaku Enjō was that if the enemy forcibly broke through, they would be pursued by flames burning at 6000 degrees.
Clearly, this was the fate Minotaur Ichigo was facing now.
Gilgamesh did not stop his assault. He swung Ryūjin Jakka again toward Minotaur Ichigo and lightly chanted: "Taima!"
In the next moment, a vortex of flames burst from Ryūjin Jakka's blade and swept toward Minotaur Ichigo.
Sensing the lethal danger while being roasted by the flames, Minotaur Ichigo, driven by survival instinct, ignored his injuries and quickly dodged, escaping the area.
Despite being gravely injured, Minotaur Ichigo's speed remained comparable to Future Yoruichi's.
The flame vortex of Taima failed to catch up and eventually dissipated into thin air.
However, Gilgamesh had no intention of stopping. He gripped Ryūjin Jakka tightly, and his spiritual pressure began to surge, causing the surrounding atmosphere to drop dramatically.
At that moment, both Future Yoruichi, who was closest to him, and Urahara, observing from a distance, felt an unspeakable sense of dread.
It was as if something unimaginably terrifying was about to happen.
At this moment, Urahara realized something was wrong.
His gaze was fixed on Ryūjin Jakka in Gilgamesh's hand, and a flash of doubt crossed his eyes as he muttered: "That Zanpakuto's appearance… and the techniques he's using…"
"There's no mistake, that's definitely the strongest and oldest flame-type Zanpakuto, Ryūjin Jakka!"
"But isn't Ryūjin Jakka the Zanpakuto of Captain-Commander Yamamoto? Why is it in his hands?"
Meanwhile, hidden in the shadows, Ginjō and Tsukishima's expressions had darkened, uncertain since when.
Perhaps it was when Shinji used Sakashima Bankai.
Or perhaps it was when Minotaur Ichigo unleashed that terrifying Cero.
Or maybe it was when Gilgamesh launched an attack with Ryūjin Jakka.
Regardless, at this moment, both Ginjō and Tsukishima realized their own weakness.
Yes, weakness.
Not even considering Gilgamesh, even Minotaur Ichigo, who was being completely overpowered, could easily annihilate them.
No matter how special their abilities might be, in the face of overwhelming strength, everything would be destroyed.
After all, no matter how unique the ability, it must be activated before it can take effect.
This realization shattered the confidence they had built up until now.
Suddenly, blazing golden light illuminated their bodies, causing their pupils to tremble violently.
Through the reflection in their eyes, they could see towering pillars of scorching flames rising into the sky from the battlefield.
The terrifying scene looked like a natural disaster had descended.
At the same time, they finally heard Gilgamesh's voice.
"Shakunetsu Jigoku!!" (Inferno Hell!!)
At that moment, whether it was the heavily injured Shinji and Kensei, the disoriented Hiyori, Lisa, and Love, or the hidden Ukitake and Hitsugaya, they all trembled uncontrollably.
They had all been Captains of the Gotei 13, so they knew that this technique was one of the strongest abilities Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto had ever used.
Boom!
As the towering pillars of flames converged, a massive explosion erupted.
The devastating power was akin to a nuclear explosion, obliterating everything in its path and turning the ground to scorched earth.
Even Minotaur Ichigo, as strong as he was, was ultimately defeated by Shakunetsu Jigoku, collapsing with his fate uncertain.
Silence!
