'A part of this Ōin's power is somewhat similar to Teleport, but much stronger.'
Shin listened to their conversation, deep in thought, when suddenly, a bright light flashed, and Sōjirō and the other three disappeared.
"Where are they?"
"Seireitei, we'll go home through the Senkaimon." Yoruichi said quickly.
From Sōjirō's words just now, he intended to seek revenge on Seireitei, so he must have taken Tōshirō to Soul Society with the Ōin.
—
Soul Society.
Sōkyoku Hill.
The Reiatsu of the Ōin surged, and golden lightning churned in the sky.
All the Shinigami in Seireitei noticed the anomaly here.
A Hell Butterfly conveyed the message—
"Urgent Order: Captain Hitsugaya and the Reiatsu of the Ōin have been confirmed at Sōkyoku Hill. Shinigami searching in the Human World and Soul Society are to return immediately and enter emergency defense status!"
After multiple attacks, Seireitei's response speed had significantly improved.
Tōshirō looked at the familiar surroundings. "This is..."
"That's right, Sōkyoku Hill. This is the power of the Ōin.
"Tōshirō, use your Bankai to cut it down. Then everything will be purified."
Sōjirō picked up the Ōin and looked at Hyōrinmaru in Tōshirō's hand.
He who cuts down the Ōin will gain its power.
"It seems we're the first to arrive."
"It certainly seems so, Ikkaku."
Ikkaku and Yumichika landed behind the two.
Sōjirō recognized the bald man. "Madarame Ikkaku, you possess excellent Hakuda and Zanjutsu, but you are still no match for me."
"Is that so?" Ikkaku drew his sword and slashed at Sōjirō.
Sōjirō said, "Yin, Yang."
The two Arrancar obeyed and stepped forward, blocking Ikkaku.
At this moment, more and more Shinigami arrived.
"This is as far as you go, Hitsugaya!"
Soi Fon was followed by a large group of Onmitsukidō.
"Hahahaha!"
"Ridiculous, Tōshirō, cut it down! This is our revenge!" Sōjirō laughed loudly as he raised the Ōin
"Take them down!"
At Soi Fon's command, all the Onmitsukidō swarmed forward.
"Wait!"
Yamamoto arrived with the captains, calling a halt to the Shinigami.
Byakuya and Shunsui were among them, both with bandages wrapped around their abdomens.
At this moment, Shin and Yoruichi, who had transformed into her human form, also arrived at Sōkyoku Hill through the Senkaimon and stood with Soi Fon.
The several exchanged nods.
Yamamoto looked at the familiar face and said, "Kusaka Sōjirō, so you're still alive."
"The Ōin granted me new life, and I shall become the King of Soul Society, controlling the Ōin." Sōjirō declared, raising his hands.
Shin glanced at him, not believing he could take on everyone like Aizen.
Yamamoto's eyes narrowed slightly. "You overestimate yourself!"
"Heh heh, Tōshirō, what are you waiting for?" Sōjirō was disdainful, intending to prove his point with action.
Tōshirō, however, drew his sword against him. "I never intended to seek revenge with you."
"What?"
Sōjirō thought that by pushing Tōshirō to the brink, Tōshirō would become his companion and seek revenge together.
"Hasn't Hitsugaya already betrayed Seireitei?" Mayuri still wanted to settle scores with him.
"Is that so? I misjudged you, Tōshirō." Sōjirō drew his Hyōrinmaru.
It was then that everyone noticed that the man named Sōjirō's Zanpakutō was identical to Tōshirō's.
"Why are there two Hyōrinmaru?"
"Could this guy be responsible for what happened at the SRDI?"
The Shinigami discussed animatedly.
Mayuri demanded, "Are you the one who attacked the SRDI?"
"Unfortunately, it wasn't me."
In fact, Sōjirō hadn't even had a chance to frame Tōshirō with Hyōrinmaru when news of Tōshirō attacking the SRDI already arrived.
Although he didn't quite understand the situation, he simply went with the flow, abandoning his original plan to attack the captains and instead went to the Human World.
"You won't admit it, huh? It doesn't matter. Once I capture you, I have plenty of ways to make you talk." Mayuri chuckled sinisterly.
"Big talk. Let me show you the power of the Ōin!" Sōjirō roared, about to cut the Ōin with Hyōrinmaru.
"Sit upon the frozen heavens, Hyōrinmaru!" Tōshirō tried to stop him, but it was too late.
A fierce storm erupted from Sōjirō's center, neutralizing Tōshirō's attack. When the storm dissipated, Sōjirō's appearance had drastically changed.
He had transformed into a massive ice dragon with a pair of ice wings on his back.
Shin looked at Sōjirō in his dragon form, which was very different from traditional dragons.
"Hahahaha!"
"This is the power of the Ōin!"
Sōjirō roared to the sky, and Yin and Yang returned to his side.
"Hmph!"
Tōshirō controlled his blue ice dragon to tear at Sōjirō.
Sōjirō actually grabbed the ice dragon with both hands and tore it apart.
"It's no use, Tōshirō!"
"Bankai, Daiguren Hyōrinmaru!"
"Is this Hyōrinmaru's Bankai?" Sōjirō had not yet learned Bankai.
Countless ice pillars rose from the ground, freezing Sōjirō solid, and then the ice pillars shattered.
Then, in the next moment, countless ice shards reassembled, and Sōjirō reappeared.
"I already told you, it's no use. The power of the Ōin will restore my state."
"Go, execute the serious criminal Kusaka Sōjirō on the spot!" Yamamoto finally gave the order.
"Yes!"
A large number of Shinigami rushed towards Sōjirō.
"Annoying!" Sōjirō roared, and the sound waves repelled the Shinigami.
Then, he flew to a nearby pillar, with the two Arrancar following closely behind.
He glanced at the two. "You are no longer useful."
Yin and Yang were instantly frozen along with the pillar.
Sōjirō's Reiatsu erupted, and a purplish-black hemisphere gradually expanded, seemingly about to engulf the entire Seireitei.
"Is this the full power of the Ōin being released?" Nemu couldn't help but ask at the sight.
"No, this is the Ōin running wild." Mayuri corrected.
He had once accessed the Ōin's data when he infiltrated the Great Archive, so he understood it very well.
"Kusaka Sōjirō's Reiatsu is growing stronger and constantly expanding. Once it surrounds Seireitei, it will be enough to destroy everything within it."
Shunsui was somewhat incredulous. "The Reiatsu is indeed strong, but it shouldn't be enough to destroy everything, right?"
Mayuri continued to explain, "The Ōin is a divine artifact that can control time, space, and even dimensions within a limited Reiatsu range."
"However, this guy didn't release the Ōin with Bankai, so he cannot control its full power."
"So, we can still stop Kusaka, right?" Tōshirō was the first to rush into the purplish-black space.
