Chapter 118: The Strongest Shinigami Defeated, the Three Realms Shocked

After all, one of them was the biggest obstacle to the plan, and the other was an unpredictable variable.

So Aizen was very concerned about their combat data and psychological habits.

"It's really scary!" Gin Ichimaru pretended to be very scared and said:

"Uehara Shiroha can actually suppress the strongest Shinigami. Such talent is too exaggerated. Captain Aizen, this test has caused big trouble!"

He was getting more and more confused about Uehara Shiroha.

Aizen, the "riddle man," was better. After all, he had been lurking beside him for such a long time.

Recently, with Aizen's frequent and even overloaded use of Kyōka Suigetsu, he had almost figured out a way to counter it.

However, he couldn't be sure whether his guess was correct.

As for Uehara Shiroha, it was even more outrageous.

Not only was his strength outrageous, but his scheming was also outrageous.

Until now, Gin Ichimaru couldn't grasp the other party's true thoughts.

Perhaps only someone like Aizen could guess Uehara Shiroha's intentions.

"Uehara Shiroha is indeed an immeasurable and unfathomable person." Having said this, Aizen looked up at the entrance to the underground council hall and said in a gentle and elegant manner:

"I think even in your era, Uehara Shiroha's ability is outstanding and extraordinary. Am I right, Captain Unohana?"

At this time, the captain of the 4th Division, Retsu Unohana, and the vice-captain of the 4th Division, Isane Kotetsu, walked in slowly.

When she saw Aizen and the unconscious Tōshirō Hitsugaya, she frowned and said in a clear voice with a hint of severity:

"What's going on? Why did you hurt Captain Hitsugaya? Why did you use a specially made corpse doll to pretend to be dead and hide here? Captain Aizen? No! Now you can't be called the captain, but a treasonous offender, Aizen Sōsuke!"

The more she recalled Aizen's "corpse," the more she felt something was wrong.

And the appearance of Uehara Shiroha proved that Rukia's execution was definitely not simple.

With his status and position, he only needed one sentence to rescue Rukia.

However, Uehara Shiroha chose the most radical way and showed up in person to save people.

This meant that something had happened in the Central 46.

The whole thing was a conspiracy.

The most suspicious one was Aizen, who faked his death and escaped.

And in the entire Soul Society, the best hiding place was this forbidden area that even the captains must not step into.

Aizen still looked like he had a good grasp of the matter and said softly:

"It's about time for you to come. It's really remarkable that you discovered the corpse and found this place. But unfortunately, you are wrong in two places. First, I came to Central 46 not to escape from anything, but for other purposes; second, is this the corpse doll you mentioned?"

As his voice fell, an extremely realistic "corpse" of Aizen himself immediately appeared in his hand.

Seeing this scene, Retsu Unohana's pupils shrank, realizing that things were not simple.

"How could this happen?" Isane Kotetsu was shocked and panicked:

"When did it get in his hand and why didn't I notice it at all?"

"When, in fact, it has always been there, I just didn't let you see it." While saying this, Aizen threw away the "corpse" in his hand and released the ability of Kyōka Suigetsu:

"Shatter, Kyōka Suigetsu!"

After the corpse fell to the ground, it immediately turned into a katana-like shallow sword.

This sword was exactly Aizen's Zanpakutō Kyōka Suigetsu.

Seeing Aizen perform a "corpse transformation" on the spot, Retsu Unohana's cold expression finally showed some ripples.

She had a very scary guess in her heart.

Combined with some of Aizen's special behaviors, this guess became more and more real!

Seeing Aizen's "corpse" turned into Kyōka Suigetsu, Isane Kotetsu was dumbfounded and asked: "What is going on?"

This "corpse," she had personally checked it, there was nothing abnormal, even Captain Unohana didn't see the problem.

The only explanation was that Aizen used very powerful technology to make the corpse doll seamless.

But now, the flawless "corpse" had turned into a sword.

This was really too incredible.

She felt like her brain was about to explode.

"The ability of Kyōka Suigetsu is complete hypnosis!" Because there was still some time, Aizen explained:

"The so-called complete hypnosis is the ability to control the five senses. In other words, Kyōka Suigetsu can change the shape, size, touch, and even smell of an object. It can turn a fly into a dragon and a swamp into a flower field! This is Kyōka Suigetsu!"

After a conversation, Retsu Unohana guessed the conditions for the activation of Kyōka Suigetsu and realized that there was something wrong with Tōsen.

As long as you have seen the Kyōka Suigetsu Shikai ritual once, you will be permanently controlled by the power of Kyōka Suigetsu.

Then conversely, if you can't see, you won't be hypnotized.

Then, Kaname Tōsen, the captain of the 9th Division who can't see anything, would definitely not be affected by Kyōka Suigetsu.

However, the other party "saw" the "corpse" that Aizen had transformed with Kyōka Suigetsu, but he had no objection.

The only explanation was that the two had colluded with each other a long time ago.

At this time, Aizen had nothing to hide, and said openly:

"Yes, Tōsen has always been my man. Now he is loyally completing the task for me!"

At this point, his face changed: "But it seems that he is in trouble, Gin!"

Hearing Aizen's call, Gin Ichimaru waved his right hand.

A long white bandage flew out from his sleeve, forming a cylindrical barrier that enveloped the two of them.

"What!?" Seeing this, Isane Kotetsu, true to her name, rushed forward bravely.

However, when the white bandage disappeared, Aizen and Gin Ichimaru had already disappeared.

"This is a forbidden space technique, they have already left!" Faced with such a dramatic change, Retsu Unohana remained calm.

She drew out her Zanpakutō, slowly walked towards the seriously injured and unconscious Tōshirō Hitsugaya, and told Isane Kotetsu:

"Isane, I'm going to give Captain Hitsugaya emergency treatment. You're responsible for informing the captains and Vice Captains of Aizen's action and the truth of the matter. Oh, and inform all the Ryoka as well."

"Yes, Captain!" Isane immediately began to locate the positions of the captains, Vice Captains, and the other members of the group.

At this time, Uehara Shiroha was swinging Shunkyō at Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto.

His Observation Haki activated, and a series of future scenes flashed through his eyes.

He caught the opponent's sword trajectory and the only flaw.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Shunkyō and Ryūjin Jakka slashed at each other again, like a meteor hitting the earth, with amazing momentum!

The flames and ice melted and collided, forming a shock wave that crushed everything!

The slashing wave carrying cold currents and flames had unimaginable destructive power.

Everything along the way was crushed into powder, and then collapsed and disappeared.

The sky collapsed, black cracks appeared, and the earth was crumbling.

This doomsday-like scene was shocking, and all the Shinigamis who perceived this scene trembled.

Shunsui Kyōraku and Jushiro Ukitake next to them were even forced to open their Shikai and form a barrier for defense.

Although they were already some distance away from the battlefield where the two were fighting.

However, the moves of the two were too strong, and they could not withstand it in their normal state!

It was just that this time, Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto relaxed a little.

He was old and physically exhausted, so he revealed a fleeting flaw.

Shiroha, who had been prepared, did not miss this opportunity.

He stretched out his left hand: "Ice Sword!"

A sharp ice blade condensed in his hand in an instant.

By the time Yamamoto realized that something was wrong, it was too late.

With a flash of cold light, he had been hit.

Looking at the wound on his arm, Yamamoto put down Ryūjin Jakka: "I am defeated!"

He had a premonition that Shiroha might surpass himself one day.

However, he did not expect that this day would come so soon.

After defeating the strongest Shinigami, Shiroha was very calm: "You only release your Shikai, there's no question of winning or losing."

In this battle, both of them were holding back.

This was just a duel of slashing techniques, and the old man only used Shikai.

And Bankai is the most terrifying and unstoppable power of Ryūjin Jakka.

At the same time, his White Album actually has no restrictions on Shikai and Bankai, and can release its power to the fullest.

From this perspective, Uehara Shiroha took advantage.

However, the opponent only hid one card, but he hid many trump cards.

With so many powerful abilities, let alone winning against Shikai Ryūjin Jakka, even if he won against Bankai [Zanka no Tachi], there was nothing to be proud of.

Seeing Uehara Shiroha's calm appearance, Yamamoto admired him even more.

Whether it was strength, mind, or capacity, Uehara Shiroha was first-class strong.

His loss was not unfair.

"The teacher actually lost! How is this possible?" Jushiro Ukitake stood there in shock.

Until now, he still couldn't believe that the invincible teacher actually lost.

"This is a good thing for the old man. He should take a break." Shunsui Kyōraku was quite open-minded.

The title of the strongest Shinigami, the interests of the nobles of the Soul Society, and the Gotei 13 had gradually become a burden for the old man.

It was not easy to carry these burdens forward.

With Uehara Shiroha, the old man could be free.

After that, if they made changes, the old man couldn't say anything.

On the surface, the strongest Shinigami abided by the rules, but deep down, he still respected the strong.

Those nobles also thought so.

And now, Uehara Shiroha was the strongest.

Then in the Soul Society, didn't he have the final say?

While thinking, he looked at the flames and ice on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief.

This shocking battle was finally over!

The impact of the battle between the two not only made the onlookers miserable, but even the entire Soul Society was affected.

Now the place where the two fought had been completely changed, leaving only a few deep pits that were half ice and half scorched earth.

The terrain here had completely changed, and the remaining spiritual pressure, ice, and flames had not dissipated for a long time.

There were large pits burned by flames all around.

Some places were still being disintegrated and dissipated by flames.

If they continued to fight like this, it was really possible to destroy the Soul Society.

Before, Shunsui Kyōraku thought that the order of the Central 46 not to allow Shinigami captains to use Shikai at will was a bit stupid.

It's just Shikai, can it destroy the world?

Now it seemed that it could really destroy the world.

The Shikai of these two people was more terrifying than the Bankai of ordinary Shinigami captains.

If Shikai was so terrible, what about Bankai?

I'm afraid it would destroy the three realms!

...

At this time, all the Shinigamis and several Vice Captains felt relieved.

They began to breathe heavily, enjoying the fresh air that was neither too cold nor too hot.

As the two terrifying spiritual pressures and the cold and hot air currents dissipated, they finally came back to life.

However, the impression of Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto and Uehara Shiroha's strength and invincibility had already been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

At this moment, the strength of the two was equal to that of gods in their hearts.

...

At this moment, Sajin Komamura, who was running fast, suddenly stopped.

The wooden helmet that had been covering his face had been chopped off by Kenpachi Zaraki, revealing a furry face.

His eyes widened, his face full of disbelief:

"Lord Genryusai actually lost, this is impossible! Uehara Shiroha, has he become this strong?"

Unlike other Shinigamis who could only rely on instinct to feel the strength of the two, he used his spiritual sense to clearly feel the specific situation of the fight between the two.

Therefore, he saw Uehara Shiroha defeat Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto.

No tricks, no calculations, just a direct and upright victory!

Uehara Shiroha's strength and demeanor made Sajin Komamura have to admit it, but he couldn't help but choke up a little.

Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto lost, and he was more sad, more uncomfortable, and more shocked than the Captain-Commander.

...

Because of the special circumstances now, the news that Uehara Shiroha defeated Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto did not spread immediately in the Soul Society.

Otherwise, all the Shinigamis and nobles would be shocked and even dare not believe their ears.

Now only a few captains who have noticed the situation here know the news.

However, Uehara Shiroha, who intended to keep a low profile, would not take the initiative to spread the news.

After all, with his current identity, status and strength, he did not need to pursue fame, because fame would chase him.

And those old veterans hiding in the dark were once again shocked by Uehara Shiroha's powerful strength.

...

In the shadow of the Seireitei, in the Invisible Empire,

Jugram Haschwalth looked shocked:

"Your Majesty, the strongest Shinigami was defeated? The captain of the Gotei 13 has fallen to this level! It's unbelievable!"

"Genryusai Yamamoto is indeed old! His heart softened, and his sword became dull!" Yhwach on the throne snorted coldly:

"That's why I didn't include him in the top six special war potentials. Because he doesn't deserve it!"

The former opponent had become like this.

And he had become the person he hates.

Fate is really strange!

Haschwalth said worriedly:

"Uehara Shiroha is on the list of the six special war potentials. And up to now, we haven't collected any useful information. Will this person become an obstacle for us?"

"Before my eyes, both fate and the future must yield." Yhwach was full of confidence:

"No matter how talented Uehara Shiroha is, he is just a mere Shinigami. It is already his limit that he can defeat the aging Genryusai Yamamoto. In the face of fate and the future, he is powerless to resist."

Moreover, the opponent only defeated Genryusai Yamamoto in a sparring match.

Although this was also amazing, it was still under control.

Of course, now, Yhwach had raised the threat level of Uehara Shiroha to the highest.

On the list of the six special war potentials, Uehara Shiroha ranked first.

This meant that he was the one who needed special attention and was the most likely to threaten their plan.

This was a mark, a recognition of his strength, and also a reward!
