This moment, Sōkyoku Hill fell silent again.
The spiritual pressure flows released by over a dozen Zanpakutō—Segawa Shigure saw through them all in an instant and delivered precise counterattacks to each!
Suddenly, all the Soul Reapers' gazes toward Shigure filled with shock.
Though over past time, Shigure had already surprised them countless times.
But this moment, they suddenly realized—the trump cards Shigure concealed had long surpassed their imagination!
This also explained why, though they'd recognized this Kidō upon seeing the black pattern, they'd hesitated to confirm it.
Because no one could imagine he could actually accomplish something this unbelievable.
Moreover, from Shigure's mouth, it seemed... effortless.
He only said his "mastery level should be pretty decent"?
Hearing this, all the captains' faces darkened.
This guy... was he really being modest?
When clearly this was already the highest Kidō level we've ever witnessed, okay?
Come to think of it... did this guy really have no weaknesses?
Spiritual pressure, Zanpakutō, swordsmanship, flash step, Hakuda, Kidō...
Every single thing he'd displayed seemed undoubtedly at super-captain level.
This guy... what kind of monster was he?
This moment, everyone's gazes focused on Shigure.
Though clearly a familiar person, they completely couldn't see through Shigure.
Like fish observing the ocean—never able to grasp the full picture.
Candle Dragon nearby, at this moment, smiled intensely.
She suddenly placed her hand by her mouth, laughing lightly:
"Hehe, Shigure... everyone seems quite surprised by the power you've displayed."
"Say, if they knew that was barely a tenth of your strength..."
?!
At these words, everyone's bodies trembled simultaneously, looking over in disbelief.
Right now, everywhere was silent, so though Candle Dragon's voice was soft, it still reached everyone's ears.
This moment, everyone's expressions grew somewhat dazed.
Even somewhat unable to comprehend Candle Dragon's words.
A tenth?
What the hell?
Even Retsu Unohana nearby showed a somewhat uncharacteristic expression, staring blankly at Shigure.
Seeing this, Shigure didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He had no idea that after manifesting physically, Candle Dragon would have this strange personality.
Clearly in the Zanpakutō space, she'd often deliberately shown him disdainful expressions, but now she was like a loyal devotee.
This transformation was harder for him to accept than for anyone else.
But just as he prepared to explain, suddenly, he immediately sensed spiritual pressure fluctuation.
The next moment, he immediately focused on his Resonance Vision.
With one look, his eyes moved slightly.
Muramasa!
His body was actually becoming transparent and disappearing!
At this moment, the Zanpakutō above also began disappearing one after another!
Shigure realized this. The captains around naturally could too. Suddenly, everyone's expressions changed slightly!
"What?!"
"What's happening... the Zanpakutō's forms and spiritual pressure are all vanishing?!"
"Tch... trying to escape?!"
"We must stop Muramasa!!"
Almost instantly, the captains made their judgment, all flash-stepping toward Muramasa.
Yoruichi and Soi Fon reached Muramasa's side first, unhesitatingly launching Hakuda attacks from both sides!
They both knew—if they let Muramasa leave now, it meant missing a golden opportunity!
The captains around also took action.
But at this instant, something bizarre happened.
Yoruichi and Soi Fon's attacks actually passed straight through Muramasa's body, attacking each other instead!
Seeing this, both their expressions changed simultaneously!
They hurriedly withdrew their moves, flash-stepping away to opposite sides!
However, even after they'd separated, their spiritual pressure impacts still collided violently!
BOOM!!
The massive impact force, at this moment, directly pulverized surrounding stones!
Yet even so, Muramasa within remained completely unaffected.
"What?!"
All the captains' expressions changed slightly. Even Candle Dragon's gaze flickered lightly.
She was the only Zanpakutō not disappearing, so she'd also tried attacking Muramasa just now. Equally ineffective.
At this moment, Shigure's voice spoke.
"It's useless."
The instant he'd detected the spiritual pressure fluctuation, he'd wanted to stop Muramasa's escape.
But when Resonance Vision opened, he discovered he could no longer stop it.
Because right now, even Muramasa in Resonance Vision was gradually vanishing.
This meant this was spatial technique.
His current position was no longer here. What remained was only an afterimage.
Hearing Shigure's words, the captains' expressions all changed slightly.
At this moment, the dust below slowly cleared, revealing the disappearing Muramasa.
His expression blank, purple eyes like ice and snow, he said coldly:
"Though this time, I couldn't completely destroy and dominate you, this was merely a greeting gift."
"The true grand gift, please look forward to it."
"When I come to see you next time, I'll bring you this present—"
"Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's corpse."
The words fell. A bizarre smile suddenly appeared on Muramasa's face.
Hearing this, all the Soul Reapers froze completely. This moment, their gazes filled with shock again.
Muramasa, with this bizarre smile, swept his gaze across every Soul Reaper.
Finally, his gaze rested on Shigure's face. He said coldly:
"Farewell, Soul Reapers."
