How... could this be...
His hand... clearly already touched that white Reishi sphere...
Why...
Why no explosion...?!
Bambietta's pupils constricted, smile completely frozen.
This was the Schrift Yhwach granted her. Since joining the Sternritter, it had never failed.
Even opponents' Reiatsu, upon touching her Reishi, could likewise become explosions. Even Zanpakuto were the same.
But now, what was happening...
Bambietta stared blankly ahead. Just then, Shigure slightly opened his hand.
Above his palm, the white Reishi still floated.
However, its Reiatsu no longer belonged to Bambietta, but had become Shigure's own Reiatsu.
Seeing this, Bambietta's heart immediately shook.
However, before she could think further, Shigure said flatly:
"Such inferior Schrift ability—on me, it doesn't work."
Hearing this, before Bambietta could speak, Sternritter W Nianzol beside suddenly cackled strangely.
His two tongues hung outside his mouth, trembling as his body shook with laughter.
"Keh..."
"Hehe... so Shinigami are all such arrogant creatures..."
"Even disdaining His Majesty's supreme power granted to us, tsk tsk tsk..."
Speaking here, Nianzol suddenly raised his head, grinning. Gray light flashed in his pupils.
Instantly, all surrounding space seemed to distort.
"Then, try it... hehe..."
As his words fell, Nianzol suddenly used Hirenkyaku, rapidly shifting, directly appearing among the Gotei members—behind Shigure!
Beneath that wide uniform, a gleaming blade instantly thrust out!
However, this speed was naturally noticed. The nearest Soi Fon and Kensei Muguruma unhesitatingly struck instantly!
The two achieved perfect coordination this instant, directly forming absolute pincer attack on Nianzol!
Whether Shunpo or Hirenkyaku, fundamentally impossible to dodge!
But just then, Nianzol's smile suddenly grew more brilliant.
Next moment, abnormality suddenly occurred!
Just as Kensei and Soi Fon's attacks were about to contact Nianzol, they suddenly underwent bizarre deflection!
Simultaneously shooting past Nianzol's sides!
BOOM!!
This pincer attack completely missed!
This moment, not just Soi Fon and Kensei—surrounding Gotei Captains' expressions immediately changed.
They naturally also recalled intelligence Shigure had provided—
Schrift W—The Wind! Detour!
Could forcibly make him "instinctively" perceive enemy attacks, thereby 100% driving himself to evade attacks around his body!
Even attacks from invisible enemies couldn't harm him at all!
"Hehe... as expected... only this degree..."
Nianzol spoke incoherently while laughing wildly, unscrupulously charging toward Shigure.
Gleaming blade directly thrust out!
But next moment, the situation reversed again!
The instant Nianzol stabbed toward Shigure's back, Shigure didn't turn around, but unexpectedly reached back directly!
Clang!
He actually instantly grabbed Nianzol's arm!
This moment, whether Captains or Sternritter—completely stunned.
Nianzol especially—expression frozen, mind completely blank!
Because the instant Shigure grabbed his arm, his entire body seemed completely restrained!
As if invisible air shackles bound his whole body!
Only then did Shigure slowly turn his head, looking at Nianzol, chuckling:
"Heh, don't misunderstand."
"I'm not targeting just her. I mean... everyone present's Schrift is trash."
As his words fell, before Nianzol could react, a burst of explosive golden lightning suddenly surged from Shigure's palm!
BOOM!!
Nianzol didn't even have time to cry out. His body was already completely pierced by lightning!
Shigure released his hand. Nianzol unconsciously fell toward the ground.
Reiatsu—completely vanished.
Everyone froze.
This battle—less than two seconds—directly ended.
They didn't even have time to process what happened.
The three distant Sternritter were completely stunned in place.
Next moment, when Shigure turned back to look at the three—
They suddenly felt fear from their souls!
Reacting instantly, the three unhesitatingly used Hirenkyaku, attempting to flee toward the Ice Palace.
Are you kidding?! How to fight this?!
All Schrift—before him—seemed completely ineffective!
This Shinigami... completely... completely a monster!
The three terrified used Hirenkyaku, rapidly distancing from the Gotei.
However, next moment, they only heard Shigure's mouth utter faint words—
"Binding Lock."
CLANG!!
As his words fell, invisible storm walls instantly surged, directly completely restraining the three Quincy!!
Simultaneously, heavy storm shackles instantly bound their limbs!
This moment, the three felt like falling into ice, faces immediately pale.
Originally, they four were dispatched by Haschwalth to scout the situation.
Only needed to understand circumstances. No combat required.
But now, they could no longer return.
Next moment, above the black sky, golden lightning began leaping.
Shigure walked forward unhurriedly while saying flatly:
"Candle Dragon's Spirit-Collapsing Thunder Sword."
BOOM!!
The instant his words fell, three pillar-like thunder dragons instantly descended from heaven, directly bombarding the three Sternritter.
Restrained by Binding Lock, they fundamentally couldn't dodge or resist.
Awaiting them—only death.
BOOM!
Thunder dragons fell, engulfing the three's figures.
Deafening thunder sounds also swallowed their screams.
The Spirit-Collapsing Thunder Sword, in killing them instantly, also shattered their souls. No resurrection possibility remained.
Four Quincy possessing Schrift—in less than one minute—all died.
But from beginning to end, Shigure seemed to have no emotional fluctuation.
He still walked forward, toward the Ice Palace.
