Chapter 171 - Chapter 167: Bankai—Minazuki!

Loki felt his scalp prickle with fear.

What he didn't know was that Unohana Retsu was one of the few beings who could almost see through "Kyōka Suigetsu"—

Years ago, there was an unfathomable ambitious individual in the Soul Society.

Using the absolute hypnosis ability "Kyōka Suigetsu," which could Control the five senses of others, he fabricated a corpse to fake his death and cover up his conspiracy.

Under these top-tier illusions that could even deceive soul perception, countless battle-hardened Captains and lieutenants were kept in the dark, believing them without a doubt.

Only Unohana Retsu, as the Medical Captain, noticed a sense of incongruity after just a few glances, thereby seeing through that ambitious individual's scheme.

Yes, that ambitious individual was the famous Aizen Sōsuke.

Aizen Sōsuke

However, the arrow was on the string and there was no turning back; the distance between the two sides was already less than three steps!

As a god who had lived for over a thousand years, the ruthlessness in Loki's bones was forced out.

He had absolute confidence in his assassination techniques; as long as it was a fatal blow.

No matter how strange you are, everything will vanish into thin air as the heart stops beating!

Without a hint of hesitation, Loki's figure peeled out of the air like a venomous snake.

The dagger in his hand turned into a streak of fatal green lightning, piercing through Unohana Retsu's left chest without obstruction, stabbing straight into her heart!

Squelch!

A hit with one strike, blood splattered everywhere!

It's about to end!

At the moment of piercing the heart, Loki exerted force with his feet and retreated several meters rapidly.

"Hahahaha... so that's all there is to it..."

He burst into a fit of wild laughter, seemingly trying to use his villainous laugh to mask the inexplicable unease surging within him; he completely dared not think deeply about the meaning behind Unohana Retsu's words just now, and was even more afraid to face the worst-case scenario in his mind.

Loki only knew that if the heart was pierced, even a god would not survive.

But reality developed in the most terrifying direction, the one Loki least wanted to see.

The woman whose heart had been pierced by the dagger didn't fall in panic; not even a ripple of pain appeared on her face.

She simply stood there quietly, letting the crimson blood soak through the thin modern white shirt she was wearing.

Then, the corners of her mouth actually curled upward slowly—not the gentle and compassionate smile Unohana Retsu usually wore, but a smile that would make one's hands and feet go cold at a glance, leaving only a thirst for slaughter.

A "kind" smile

Unohana Retsu gripped the hilt with one hand and held the curved Zanpakutō level in front of her.

Next, she reached out with her other hand, gently grasping it, and slowly wiped her palm across the sharp blade.

Blood gushed out, submerging the edge of the blade.

It hurts...

In the next second, she parted her red lips.

The voice was clearly very soft, yet it was like a clap of thunder that exploded in Loki's ears, making his head spin.

"Bankai..."

As the incantation fell, a spiritual pressure so thick it was suffocating surged into the sky like a bursting tsunami!

Under this heavy pressure, the surrounding air instantly let out an overwhelmed wail.

As her palm wiped across, a large amount of thick blood seeped from the blade like a spring, continuously dripping onto the asphalt road along the hilt.

Loki's perspective be like: an incredible amount of blood

Loki's pupils shook violently, and the blood in his whole body seemed to freeze at this moment.

What's happening?!

Before he could figure it out, the Zanpakutō in Unohana Retsu's hand, which had been wiped by her palm, suddenly underwent a transformation.

"—Minazuki."

The blade visibly curved and elongated until it nearly traced a hair-raising blood-colored semicircle in front of her.

Loki: Scared to tears

In just the time of a single breath.

The thick blood spread frantically in all directions like a living thing.

Transforming the entire ruined street into a churning sea of dark red blood.

Then, an even more terrifying scene occurred.

"Splash—Splash—!!"

From the doors and windows of the ruined buildings on both sides of the street, a massive amount of blood sprayed out like waterfalls.

The gushing blood did not scatter into the distance but gathered under an invisible heavy pressure.

Above was a churning blood-colored sky, and below was a thick sea of blood that reached past the ankles.

In the center of this blood-colored purgatory, the woman's figure also underwent a transformation amidst the dense blood mist.

The modern clothing on her body, stained with a bit of blood, faded away like a phantom.

In its place was a pure black Shihakusho, covered by a pure white Captain's haori fluttering in the wind.

Her gentle braid unraveled without wind, her black hair falling like a waterfall, revealing the hideous, crisscrossed fatal scar in the very center of her collarbone.

Only at this moment did the sense of despair, as if being stared at by an unparalleled beast, truly descend.

It also revealed a chilling truth to Loki—for a long time, everyone, including Loki, thought Unohana Retsu was just the gentle big sister in the team responsible for logistics and healing.

But who could have imagined that she was the deepest hidden trump card in Su Modie's hand!

Generally speaking, those who act as medical support often lack front-line combat capabilities, but Unohana Retsu was exactly the opposite; among the Villainess incarnations Su Modie currently possessed, her combat power was indisputably the strongest, without exception!

The reason Unohana Retsu painstakingly studied Kaido, became the Captain of the medical squad, and chose to be a support who silently contributed behind everyone... was not because of any doctor's benevolence...

It was simply because she craved battle too much and was too obsessed with slaughter!

It sounds contradictory: why study medical Kaido if she craves slaughter?

Actually, it's not.

She needed to use the most advanced medical techniques to constantly heal herself and even her enemies on the battlefield...

Only then would the prey not die too quickly, and she could endlessly enjoy the pleasure of a life-and-death struggle where every strike drew blood!

To be able to keep slashing people, she maxed out her healing skills!

The most unprecedented villain in the history of the Soul Society, the first Kenpachi—Unohana Yachiru, has arrived!

...

Meanwhile, on the rooftop of Fisk Tower a few blocks away, another small-scale battle had already come to an end.

With the cooperation of Kotetsu Isane and Kumashi, the two "Level 50s," the Chitauri forces attempting to storm the building were wiped clean.

Su Modie, who had been hiding in Kumashi's belly all along, had a flushed face from the thick, airtight plush environment, and the stray hairs on her forehead were soaked with sweat.

But when she scrambled out of the thick bear belly and clearly admired Loki's horrified expression through Unohana Retsu's eyes, she immediately burst into a hearty laugh: "Finally... finally, he fell for it!"

Su Modie excitedly pumped her small fist.

From the first day she drew "Unohana Retsu," she had been quietly planning this fishing tactic in her heart. And this self-important "number one brother-con of the Nine Realms," as luck would have it, happened to walk right into this fatal trap she had long since woven.

Who can be blamed for this?

Su Modie sat down cross-legged comfortably and rested her chin in her hands with satisfaction.

The real show is just about to begin.
