As his words fell, Yhwach instantly raised his left hand. Blue-white Reiatsu storm instantly surged forth!
That dazzling Reiatsu pillar, the instant it burst from his palm, violently expanded, shooting toward Shigure like a column!
All air in the surrounding space was completely evacuated at this moment!
That high-density Reiatsu directly formed a vacuum around its periphery!
Endless sonic booms accompanied by piercing shrieks surged toward Shigure with overwhelming force.
However, even so, Yhwach opened his mouth, once again violently increasing his Reiatsu injection!
Suddenly, that blue-white Reiatsu pillar absorbed all spirit particles in the surrounding space like a storm, wrapping them together!
That Reiatsu pillar's volume instantly expanded again, almost enveloping the entire First Division barracks.
Seeing this, Yamamoto Genryusai's expression slightly darkened.
Originally, seeing the Yhwach imitated by Schrift Y Yourself, he felt the imitation of power had reached identical extremes.
So he held nothing back, releasing all his Bankai to end it.
But now, seeing the real Yhwach strike, Yamamoto Genryusai finally understood—
That was merely crude imitation.
This current spiritual power's density and oppressive force was the real Yhwach.
His strength... had long surpassed a thousand years ago.
Merely condensing Reiatsu to control spirit particle flow for attack already possessed Captain Bankai-level power.
That vast Reiatsu pillar arrived in an instant. Yamamoto Genryusai originally wanted to block it, but seeing Shigure's steady back, he suddenly calmed.
He decided to trust Shigure, entrusting the coming battle... to him.
The next moment, Shigure unhurriedly raised his hand, directly facing that surging Reiatsu pillar.
His expression was calm, lips still holding a faint smile.
The next moment, Annihilation Reiatsu instantly expanded!
BOOM!!!
Massive explosive sound erupted. Black Reiatsu like a dragon instantly surged forth, directly colliding with Yhwach's Reiatsu pillar!
BANG!!!!!!
Sky-shaking roar erupted. All of Seireitei trembled violently like an earthquake!
The next moment, Yhwach's pupils suddenly contracted violently!
Because at that collision moment, the blue-white Reiatsu pillar he'd condensed was instantly shattered!
Replacing it was Segawa Shigure's invisible Annihilation Reiatsu!
WHOOSH!!
Dragon-like black Reiatsu violently pressed upon Yhwach's body. At this moment, the ground beneath his feet instantly cracked!
He gritted his teeth, violently raising his eyes toward Shigure's direction.
Shigure smiled faintly, lowering his hand, then slowly said:
"A Reiatsu contest?"
"Compared to Aizen Sosuke, you seem still slightly lacking."
As his words fell, Yhwach's expression immediately darkened. A trace of resentment flashed in his eyes.
He indeed already knew Segawa Shigure possessed incredible Reiatsu, but hadn't expected it would be powerful to this degree.
If he hadn't injected Blut, even his internal organs would've been damaged by that condensed Reiatsu just now.
And this... was merely his... incomplete Bankai's Reiatsu...?
Indeed, the mysteries surrounding him... were too many.
However, while he pondered, Shigure spoke again:
"What are you thinking about?"
"Merely a Reiatsu gap—for you, it shouldn't matter much, right?"
"If so, why not continue attacking?"
"Like... this."
As his words fell, Shigure's figure suddenly vanished from his position!
No Shunpo, no Kido traces!
His figure, as if directly erased, even his Reiatsu instantly disappeared!
?!
Not only Yhwach—even Yamamoto Genryusai violently shook.
This bizarre movement technique... unheard of!
No matter how fast Shunpo or spatial Kido, they couldn't conceal Bankai in such short time!
Could this also be part of his Bankai's power... like back then, when dealing with Aizen Sosuke...
However, just as Yhwach vigilantly pondered, the next moment, sudden change occurred!
WHOOSH!!
From behind him, massive light wings interweaving storm and lightning suddenly appeared!
The instant they appeared, they directly tore through Yhwach's Blut, driving straight through!
Those sword-like light wings instantly completely pierced Yhwach's chest and heart!!
"Wha... what?!"
Yhwach's pupils suddenly contracted. His entire face became pale and rigid, mouth unconsciously making sounds.
The next moment, pitch-black clouds instantly appeared in the sky, completely obscuring the entire heavens.
Simultaneously, dazzling golden lightning instantly appeared, tearing through the entire sky. Storms raged.
Impossible weather phenomena appeared again.
Silent raindrops began falling. After merely half a second, they instantly transformed into clamorous downpour!
Rain struck Yhwach's body, mixing with blood, sliding down from his chest.
At this moment, at the light wings' end, Shigure's figure slowly manifested.
Around him, no raindrops existed.
All raindrops, the instant they fell, passed through his body.
As if he himself was rain.
However, his Reiatsu remained in a vanished state.
Only now did Yhwach rigidly slowly turn his head, pupils contracted, looking toward Shigure.
However, Shigure didn't look at him, merely slightly lowering his eyes, expression indifferent:
"This is probably what you've been seeking all along..."
"My Bankai."
"Candle Dragon's Reverse Scale, Final Form:"
"Ryusei Shigure."
