Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Devour It! Nozarashi! Kenpachi's First Release That Shocked the World!
At this moment!
Facing such a powerful Kenpachi Zaraki, Gremmy made a desperate move! He directly imagined a meteorite to attack Soul Society!
Of course, to be more precise, it was Soul Society that had been replaced by the Wandenreich!
Gremmy did this without distinguishing between friend and foe...
His degree of madness was approaching Kenpachi's level!
In addition to the Shinigami, the Quincy were also panicking.
They hadn't expected that Gremmy would use such a devastating attack.
Was he planning to perish together with Soul Society?
Yhwach really shouldn't have released him!
Haschwalth, second-in-command of the Sternritter after the almighty Yhwach, also wore a grave expression and lost his usual composed demeanor.
He couldn't remain calm facing Gremmy's attack and hurriedly ordered the other Quincy.
"Quickly, hurry and protect His Majesty!!"
He was worried that the palace where Yhwach currently resided would also be affected by the meteorite.
From this, it could be seen that Gremmy's claim of being the strongest Quincy besides Yhwach wasn't an exaggeration.
On the battlefield at this time:
"AHHHHHHH!!!"
Desperate wails, screams, and cries of terror came one after another, unable to stop.
Many people were sweating profusely, trembling, unable to stand firm! They didn't even have the will to flee.
Such an enormous meteorite - even if they gave their all, they might not escape its impact zone!
However, at this time, Kenpachi Zaraki showed no fear whatsoever. He even... laughed wildly.
That's right!
Just like in previous battles when he encountered worthy opponents, he was only delighted!
"Hahaha! So it's a meteorite!"
"Another thing I haven't cut yet!"
"Devour it!!! Nozarashi!!!"
Kenpachi Zaraki finally began releasing his Zanpakutō!
This was the ability he acquired after his battle with Unohana Yachiru!
As soon as he finished speaking, the Zanpakutō in his hand finally transformed!
BUZZ!!!!
A strangely-shaped giant sword with a handle wrapped in white cloth, massive in size - much larger than a human - appeared in Kenpachi Zaraki's hand.
Originally, Ichigo Kurosaki's Zangetsu was already much larger than normal Zanpakutō.
And Kenpachi Zaraki's Zanpakutō was several times larger than that!
He carried Nozarashi on his shoulder and grinned, the excitement in his heart beyond words.
"Hahaha..."
During this process, Yachiru Kusajishi on the sidelines fell into a daze.
A voice hidden in her heart began to emerge.
It was the scene when she and Kenpachi Zaraki first met.
"What's your name, kid?"
"No name?"
"Okay, then I'll call you Yachiru!"
"This is the name I want you to be called..."
In fact, at this time, neither Yachiru Kusajishi nor Zaraki Kenpachi himself could remember...
This was actually the name of the first Kenpachi, Unohana Yachiru!
...
After witnessing this scene, everyone in Soul Society and Hueco Mundo was shocked and began heated discussions!
[Hitsugaya Tōshirō]: Ah, Captain Zaraki is finally going to release his Zanpakutō!? We Captains all thought his Zanpakutō was in a permanent released state at first.
[Nnoitra Gilga]: He really hadn't released his Zanpakutō yet? He's only releasing it now... Damn it, wasn't I worthy of it?
[Kuchiki Byakuya]: Then if he completely releases his Zanpakutō and uses Bankai, wouldn't he be even stronger?
[Ichigo Kurosaki]: Yes, he never released his Zanpakutō when fighting me, and now he's at least ten times stronger than before! This Zanpakutō is also much bigger than my Zangetsu.
[Unohana Retsu]: Finally released his Zanpakutō... I can now feel at peace.
[Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni]: It seems that in this battle, we of the Gotei 13 will have to give our all, and Kenpachi Zaraki will have to show his full strength.
The Shinigami were all amazed at this moment!
On the contrary, Kenpachi Zaraki, the king of simple slashing who used to disdain Zanpakutō and only used a broken sword, felt somewhat awkward...
[Kenpachi Zaraki]: Oh, I have to release my Zanpakutō? I feel a bit uncomfortable. Do I have to rely on my Zanpakutō's power in the end?
Thinking of the scene when he fought Ichigo Kurosaki before, he was overwhelmed with emotions.
[Yachiru Kusajishi]: It's wonderful to be able to fight with a Zanpakutō, so don't worry about it. By the way, looking at it this way, Ken-chan's Zanpakutō is named Nozarashi, right?
[Madarame Ikkaku]: That's a really cool name!
[Kenpachi Zaraki]: Nozarashi? What a weird name, it doesn't resonate with me at all. I really don't want to call it that!
At this moment, in addition to Kenpachi Zaraki's Shikai, other things also attracted the Shinigami's attention.
[Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni]: Who is the blonde man calling "Your Majesty" in the previous scene? If nothing unexpected, it should be Yhwach, most revered by the Quincy!
[Kyōraku Shunsui]: They're actually worried about their Majesty getting hurt? It seems the power of imagination really is excessive...
[Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni]: Hmph, as long as I'm here, I can still handle this meteorite... But it would be troublesome to save Soul Society. After all, my attacks are too powerful.
[Ukitake Jūshirō]: Is this place really Soul Society? Why do these white buildings seem strange to me?
[Kuchiki Byakuya]: Are we all going to their enemy base to fight?
[Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni]: Are we launching a counterattack against the Quincy led by Yhwach? Excellent. In the previous Soul Society battle, we should have successfully protected Soul Society. After that, we have a chance to turn the tables!
[Kyōraku Shunsui]: That's truly cause for celebration! But objectively speaking, the Quincy who invaded before were still very powerful...
For a moment, everyone was confused by all the information.
And Kenpachi Zaraki in the scene was also looking at the meteorite in the sky, eager to try!
It was like a child who saw an interesting toy and couldn't wait to test it.
[Ichigo Kurosaki]: Wait, what is Kenpachi Zaraki going to do now? Is he really going to cut down this meteorite? I thought he was joking before... If he were going to cut Gremmy now, that would be understandable.
[Kenpachi Zaraki]: I want to cut interesting things. Is that hard to understand? Ichigo Kurosaki, I haven't fought you in a while. Have you forgotten me? It wouldn't be bad to let me cut you when I have time.
[Kyōraku Shunsui]: Stopping Captain Zaraki... that's impossible. For Captain Zaraki, not letting him cut what he wants to cut is more painful than letting him die.
[Ukitake Jūshirō]: I even doubt that if this imagination freak could make the sun fall on him, would Captain Zaraki cut that down too?
[Aizen Sōsuke]: Is this the peak of imagination? Very good. I also want to see the limits of Shinigami physical attack power. Kenpachi Zaraki, don't disappoint me!
[Ichimaru Gin]: Do you really want to cut it? Truly a monster. Don't die too soon, Captain Zaraki. I'm still waiting to see your Bankai.
...
At this time, in Hueco Mundo, Ulquiorra, Harribel and other Arrancar all had mixed emotions.
Was such a powerful attack really used by their Hollow's mortal enemy, the Quincy?
How could these Quincy be so strong?
If this Quincy came to their Hueco Mundo, destroying most of it would be no problem, right?
All the other Hollows combined might not be enough to defeat this Gremmy.
Baraggan thought about his Respira and shook his head.
Although he could decay everything he touched, the size of this meteorite was beyond his aura's coverage.
Even the arrogant Baraggan was somewhat frightened...
And Starrk thought about his abilities like Infinite Cero and soul division, feeling they couldn't play much of a role.
At most, they could only destroy a surface layer of the meteorite.
And Harribel was also ashamed, thinking her water flow wasn't enough to affect the meteorite.
Even after obtaining ice powers, she still felt uncertain.
After all, with her ability, affecting objects within a few miles was already the limit.
The meteorite was so massive that even if frozen, it would melt quickly.
It was impossible to stop it!
As for Ulquiorra, he also felt very insignificant.
Even if he activated Segunda Etapa and transformed into a black-winged demon, he could only protect himself at most and was completely unable to stop the meteorite's fall.
So at this moment, the Arrancar only felt very depressed.
The only thing worth being happy about was that Soul Society might be destroyed because of this.
In that case, it would barely be a good thing for them.
In addition, Arrancar like Harribel who worshipped Aizen couldn't help but wonder at this moment.
Although their Lord Aizen was very invincible... but could he summon such a terrible attack as a meteorite like this Gremmy?
And who was the leader of the Sternritter?
Who was stronger - him or Aizen Sōsuke?
If Aizen led them, could he defeat these Quincy?
These questions lingered in their minds and couldn't be shaken off.
...
As for the Quincy in the Wandenreich, they also caused a huge uproar.
Shouting and scolding were endless and couldn't be stopped.
"My goodness, this Gremmy really doesn't distinguish between friend and foe!"
"Even the Captain is worried about His Majesty. This shows what a problem this Gremmy is."
"Why don't we eliminate him now, before he kills us all later?"
"I asked you to destroy Soul Society, but I didn't ask you to destroy the entire Soul Society!"
"And looking at the image, this seems to be our Wandenreich's buildings, right? So it should be the scene when we replace Soul Society with the Wandenreich. He's going to destroy our Wandenreich!"
The Quincy were full of complaints about Gremmy.
Some Quincy even wondered...
The reason Yhwach imprisoned Gremmy was because Yhwach was worried he couldn't restrict him...
If Gremmy went mad, he would destroy everything without distinguishing friend from foe!
Of course, Yhwach on the throne smiled faintly at this time and stopped the commotion.
"Enough arguing, just watch patiently."
"After all, this is a future scene, and Gremmy may have his own reasons."
"It just so happens we can find an opportunity to see if this Special War Potential, Kenpachi Zaraki, can handle this meteorite."
"Besides, I am here - what are you worried about? Do you really think Gremmy can harm me?"
Hearing this, Haschwalth and the others saluted respectfully, saying they didn't dare question His Majesty's ability.
After all, their Majesty was known to be omniscient and omnipotent!
Gremmy's actions might also be under his control...
Maybe he wasn't worried about him destroying the Sternritter.
Just like that, the Quincy continued watching the screen with complaints.
...
In the scene, when Kenpachi Zaraki laughed ecstatically, his figure quickly leaped up, transforming into a streak of light as he flew toward the meteorite.
Gremmy was also somewhat dumbfounded at this time.
Kenpachi Zaraki's madness had exceeded his imagination.
"This guy... is he going to rely on his own strength to deal with the meteorite?"
Gremmy was finally convinced by Kenpachi Zaraki at this point.
Facing such a desperate world-destroying blow, he showed no fear at all, even becoming more excited.
Such a monster was completely beyond his comprehension!
Was he going to use death to conquer this natural world-destroying disaster?
Gremmy subconsciously still didn't want to believe this scene and sneered.
"Zaraki Kenpachi, I don't believe you can destroy this meteorite! So you can only stop here and pay the price for your madness!"
Just like that, in full view of everyone, Zaraki Kenpachi approached the front of the meteorite.
...
At this moment, comments also floated by:
'Meteorite danger!'
'It's a pity that Kenpachi's most glorious period is when we're forced to say goodbye to Yachiru.'
'But for Kenpachi, Yachiru must be very willing!'
'The pattern is small - why not summon a sun to hit the earth?'
...
In a split second, Kenpachi Zaraki had completely exploded with the strength to contend with the meteorite!
BUZZ!!!!!
His spiritual pressure suddenly erupted.
The Quincy and Shinigami below Kenpachi Zaraki even felt as if they were surrounded by an ocean of spiritual power.
Only such vast and boundless spiritual pressure could fight against the meteorite!
Then, Kenpachi Zaraki transformed his infinite spiritual pressure into a terrifying slash.
SWISH!!!
Kenpachi Zaraki cut the meteorite completely like rotten wood!
BOOM!! BOOM!!
Countless people were stunned watching this scene, unable to imagine what they were witnessing.
Kenpachi Zaraki was so small before the meteorite, like comparing an elephant to an ant.
But he really did cut the meteorite in half!
The king of simple slashing, well deserved!
...
After seeing this extremely shocking scene on screen, everyone was more amazed than ever before and began heated discussions!
[Madarame Ikkaku]: Ah!! The Captain really cut the meteorite! It's incredible! Yumichika, Vice-Captain, did you all see it?
[Ayasegawa Yumichika]: Well, Captain Zaraki is so handsome!
[Yachiru Kusajishi]: Although I should feel very happy, for some reason, after hearing Ken-chan shout "Nozarashi," I felt my heart seemed a little empty...
[Kenpachi Zaraki]: Oh, Yachiru, why do you feel empty inside? Do you feel like you don't have the opportunity to show yourself?
[Yachiru Kusajishi]: I don't know either. I just feel I have a special mission to fulfill at this time. I can't just stand by and watch. I also feel many memories returning to my mind.
[Kenpachi Zaraki]: Haha, you can't interfere in a battle like this. But don't worry, I won't abandon you. Even if I become stronger, I'll still take you to fight.
In fact, Yachiru Kusajishi's sixth sense wasn't wrong.
She had mysteriously disappeared from the screen.
Yachiru had become part of Kenpachi Zaraki...
What she had become, even Kenpachi Zaraki and Yachiru Kusajishi couldn't accurately describe...
[Ukitake Jūshirō]: It's Captain Zaraki after all. Facing an opponent who looks like a creator god, he still managed to completely cut through it!
[Kyōraku Shunsui]: Captain Zaraki is indeed strong. If he's willing, he's definitely more qualified than me to be a candidate for future Captain-Commander.
[Kenpachi Zaraki]: I don't care about being Captain-Commander. After becoming Captain-Commander, can I cut whatever I want?
[Aizen Sōsuke]: You're really excellent, Kenpachi Zaraki! It seems I was right about you. When I'm gone, protect Soul Society! I can't stand it if Soul Society is damaged!
[Hitsugaya Tōshirō]: Come on, Aizen, please stop talking - it's really annoying!
