The Ice Palace, forcibly replaced by the Wandenreich, exuded a bone-chilling, extreme cold. The towering crystal spires refracted cold, hard glints under the pale moonlight, completely staining this territory that once belonged to the Shinigami with the murderous aura of the Quincy.
In the central plaza of this frozen architecture, four beautiful figures draped in white cloaks and wearing ultra-short military skirts stood bored, stepping on the rubble of the ruins.
"How boring. I thought the Shinigami of Soul Society could at least let us warm up a bit, but they're all just defective products that shatter at a single touch."
The girl speaking wore a pure white military cap, her long black hair dancing in the cold wind. She was beautiful, but her dark red eyes were filled with an extremely cruel and tyrannical glint. Sternritter code "E" (The Explode) — Bambietta Basterbine.
Beside her, the petite blonde girl Liltotto Lamperd (code "G", The Glutton) muttered incoherently while chewing on fries: "Stop complaining, Bambi. Compared to those weak Shinigami, the Spiritual Pressure fluctuations coming from Hueco Mundo just now are more concerning. Those two idiots, Bazz-B and Cang Du, went to scout, and there's been no movement since; they've probably already been killed."
"Tch, those two trash-talkers deserve to die."
Candice (code "T", The Thunderbolt), who had long wavy green hair, a scorching hot figure, and an equally fiery temper, put her hands on her hips, arcs of electricity faintly leaping from her fingertips: "If the guy who killed them dares to appear in front of me, I will definitely use my lightning to blast him into a pile of charred remains!"
Beside her, Meninas McAllon (code "P", The Power), who had pink curly hair and looked the most gentle, smiled while cupping her cheeks, saying the most terrifying things in the sweetest voice: "I really hope that person is sturdy enough; otherwise, it would be too boring if he just turned into meat paste with one punch."
These four elite female generals of the Sternritter represented the most destructive and arrogant combat power in the Wandenreich. They stood on this ruin, chatting and laughing unscrupulously, completely unaware that the Shinigami's scythe was already hanging over their fair necks.
Hum—!
Without any warning, the space directly above the plaza was torn apart extremely violently from both sides, as if by a pair of invisible giant hands!
There was no omen of reishi paving the way, nor the roar of a senkaimon opening. A silver-haired figure simply walked out of that spatial rift into this world of ice and snow, one hand in his trouser pocket, treading on the void as if taking a leisurely stroll.
"Found you, little birds in a cage."
Uchiha Tobirama looked down at the Sternritter girls below.
"Who is it?!"
Bambietta reacted the fastest. She lifted her head abruptly, her dark red pupils shrinking the moment she saw the person.
The man wore no Quincy cross medal, nor did he wear the black kimono of the Shinigami. His dark gold robe fluttered in the cold wind. Although there was no overwhelming Spiritual Pressure leaking from his body, just standing there caused the surrounding space to distort under the strain.
"Silver hair... So that's it. You're the anomaly that Your Majesty ordered us to be wary of, and the culprit who slaughtered that idiot Bazz-B, right!"
Bambietta showed no fear; instead, she licked her lips excitedly. A nearly pathological, fanatical smile appeared on her pretty face as she released the destructive power of her Schrift without reservation.
"Sisters, this is a big fish! No one is allowed to interfere; this head is mine, Bambietta's!"
Before her voice fell, the solid ice beneath her feet shattered instantly! Bambietta turned into a white afterimage, rushing straight into the sky, and swung her hand fiercely at Uchiha Tobirama in mid-air!
"Turn to ash before my power!"
Bambietta's ability, "The Explode," was not about releasing explosive reishi spheres, but directly converting all matter her Spiritual Pressure touched—whether air, buildings, or the enemy's body—into bombs themselves!
"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom—!!!"
All the air within a ten-meter radius of Tobirama was completely detonated in that instant!
It was not an ordinary explosion, but a forced collapse and release of the reishi structure. The blinding flames and violent shockwaves formed a massive red-black mushroom cloud with a diameter of over several hundred meters in a fraction of a second, completely swallowing Tobirama's figure!
The world shook!
The palace plaza below, made of sturdy ice crystals, cracked inch by inch like fragile biscuits under the aftermath of this close-range high-altitude explosion. The scorching high temperature instantly evaporated the wind and snow in the sky, and the deafening roar even made Kyoraku Shunsui and others, who were struggling to survive in the underground bunker, feel a tearing pain in their eardrums.
"Done! Hahahaha!"
Bambietta hovered at the edge of the smoke, hands on her hips, letting out an extremely arrogant and triumphant laugh.
"What is this? I thought the guy who could easily kill Bazz-B would be something special. Turns out he couldn't even dodge my Explode. How does it feel to be turned into a bomb and blown up from the inside? You're probably not even left with bone scraps!"
Candice, watching from below, curled her lips in dissatisfaction: "Hey, Bambi! You moved too fast; I hadn't even started warming up!"
"Who told him to stand there like a log and space out." Bambietta lifted her chin arrogantly, turning to land back on the ground.
However.
Her smile froze on her face without warning halfway through turning.
A breeze blew, scattering the thick, pungent smoke and dust in mid-air.
In the center of the area that should have been completely blown into a vacuum.
Uchiha Tobirama remained in his pose with one hand in his pocket, standing quietly in place.
He hadn't even changed his standing posture by a single millimeter. Not a single trace of scorch marks could be found on that dark gold robe, and not even a strand of the silver hair falling over his forehead had been ruffled by the earth-shattering explosion just now!
"How is that possible?!"
Her "Explode" was undefendable! Because it wasn't throwing bombs at the enemy, but turning the enemy's defenses and body directly into bombs! Logically, as long as it touched her reishi, any matter would disintegrate from within.
But why?!
Why was this man not only unscathed, but didn't even have a scratch?!
"Is that all the cheap fireworks you can set off, little girl."
"Injecting reishi into the interior of an object to trigger an explosion? The idea is not bad. It's a pity that your weak energy couldn't even penetrate the Armament Haki on my body, let alone touch my flesh."
On Tobirama's body surface, there was a layer of Ryou, an invisible armor that was imperceptible to the naked eye but strong enough to withstand the extinction of a star!
The moment Bambietta's reishi touched the Ryou, it was forcibly repelled and crushed by the overwhelming Armament Haki. And the meager impact and heat generated by the explosion were not even comparable to a gentle spring breeze for the Perfect Sage Body that had fused with the Origin of the Ten-Tails.
Absolute damage immunity!
The most savage, most unreasonable defensive crushing!
"This is impossible! My Schrift is absolute! It's impossible for anyone to block my Explode!!!"
Bambietta's mentality completely collapsed. Having always sailed smoothly and been used to killing enemies in seconds, she simply couldn't accept the cruel reality that her proudest ultimate Move wasn't even enough to tickle the opponent.
She fell into hysterical madness, waving her hands frantically in mid-air like she was having a seizure.
"Explode for me! Explode! Explode!!!"
Countless red reishi beams poured out like a torrential rain, turning the space around Tobirama into a purgatory of continuous explosions.
However, Tobirama just looked coldly at this lioness who had fallen into helpless rage, unable to even muster the desire to counterattack.
Just then, an extremely manic green lightning bolt suddenly tore through the air from below, heading straight for Tobirama's back!
"Move aside, Bambi! Your Moves are useless against this monster!"
Candice Catnipp finally couldn't suppress her inner belligerence and irritability. Her long wavy green hair stood on end in the violent electrostatic field, and a hexagonal lightning halo appeared above her head, like a female war god mastering lightning.
"Since I can't blow you up, I'll use hundreds of millions of volts of lightning to roast your internal organs completely!"
"Electrocution!!!"
Rumble!!!
Candice put her hands together, and a yellow-green lightning pillar, several meters thick and containing destructive high temperature and high pressure, struck Tobirama's back at the speed of light with a deafening thunderclap!
The power of this lightning was so great that even the distant Ice Palace tower was shattered by the aftermath.
"A lightning-attribute attack, huh."
Feeling the violent current behind him, the corners of Tobirama's mouth finally curled into a long-lost, cruel smile.
"Playing with lightning in front of me, who has mastered the ultimate Yin and Yang Five Elements? It's laughable to the point of being ridiculous."
Tobirama didn't even turn around; he just pulled his fair, slender right hand out of his pocket very casually.
He didn't form any hand seals; his five fingers just opened slightly backward.
"Let me show you what the true power of thunder is."
"Sage Art: World-Extinguishing Black Lightning."
Zzzzz—!!!
Following these calm words falling.
An extreme darkness that could completely swallow even light burst forth from Tobirama's palm!
That was not ordinary lightning; it was a pitch-black thunder that fused Sage Art Chakra with the ultimate changes of Yin-Yang Release! It carried no blinding light, nor any deafening roar, only a feeling of extreme heaviness, as if it were about to tear the entire space apart—an aura of extinction.
The next instant.
That pure black thunder, like an awakened ancient venomous dragon, headed straight for the yellow-green lightning pillar Candice had blasted, flowing directly against the current!
A shocking scene occurred.
The moment the black lightning touched the hundreds of millions of volts of lightning, there was no explosion of mutual cancellation; instead, like a giant python swallowing a thin snake, it opened its black abyss-like mouth and completely... devoured Candice's lightning!
"What?!! My lightning was eaten?!"
In Candice's wild eyes, the emotion called "horror" appeared for the first time.
But this was just the beginning!
The black lightning that had devoured all light followed the trajectory of the current and struck Candice's chest with absolute speed that was impossible to dodge!
"Aaaaaah—!!!"
A scream of extreme misery rang through the clouds!
Candice's prideful Quincy Blut Vene couldn't even hold on for a ten-thousandth of a second in front of this Sage Art Black Lightning, collapsing directly!
The pitch-black current instantly pierced through her limbs and bones!
This black lightning didn't directly vaporize her, but carried an extremely domineering, aggressive paralyzing force, frantically destroying every nerve and reishi circuit in her body.
"Ugh... My body... can't Move..."
Candice widened her eyes. Her pretty face, originally filled with arrogance, was now flushed with an abnormal flush due to extreme numbness and pain. Her eyes lost focus, and her tongue stuck out slightly, uncontrollable.
That violent black lightning not only shattered her self-esteem but also made her experience an extreme weakness, like ten thousand ants biting her heart, causing her to completely lose control of her body.
Thud.
Candice's hot, sexy body fell from mid-air like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the cold plaza.
She was charred all over, and pitch-black electric arcs were still jumping and wandering on her smooth thighs and abdomen. This female knight who claimed to be the master of thunder could only twitch on the ground without dignity, like a dying fish, unable to even lift a finger.
Controlling lightning with lightning.
The purest attribute suppression, the most thorough physical and mental crushing!
"Candice!!!"
Meninas McAllon and Liltotto Lamperd below saw this scene, and the ease and banter on their faces finally disappeared completely.
Too fast!
From the moment this man descended, to Bambietta's Explode being ineffective, to Candice being reversed-killed by her own proud attribute.
The whole process took less than ten short seconds!
In mid-air, Bambietta, who was still frantically releasing bombs, also stopped her ridiculous attack. She froze in the void, looking at her twitching companion below, and then at the silver-haired man whose breathing frequency hadn't changed even a bit.
An ultimate despair spreading from the depths of her bone marrow, like a cold viper, tightly coiled around the heart of this Sternritter girl leader.
"Too weak. Do you half-baked powers deserve to call yourselves vanguards?"
Uchiha Tobirama slowly turned around, his deep gaze like a tiger patrolling its own territory.
