Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Gremmy Imagines Kenpachi's Power! Explodes and Dies!
In the chat group, everyone was still having heated conversations.
[Ulquiorra Cifer]: Maybe in another battlefield, with our Lord Aizen's leadership, you Shinigami weren't completely wiped out.
[Tier Harribel]: That's right, these Quincy are so powerful - their leaders must be even more terrifying. I guess only our Lord Aizen is qualified to contain them.
[Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni]: Hmph, I'm not dead yet! Don't be so arrogant!
["V" Gremmy Thoumeaux]: Damn it, I don't want to admit I can't defeat you, Kenpachi Zaraki! Since this meteorite isn't big enough, I'll use 3 of myself to imagine and create a bigger meteorite.
[Jugram Haschwalth]: Gremmy, that's enough! Stop talking nonsense.
[Kuchiki Byakuya]: Oh, has the person involved appeared? These Quincy are also in the chat group!? It seems you've been lurking for a long time.
[Hitsugaya Tōshirō]: You're sneaking around like rats! If you have the guts, come and fight us head-on!
For a time, the appearance of the Quincy attracted great attention from Soul Society!
[Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni]: Hmph, I don't care if you're under Yhwach's leadership or not - you Quincy can never defeat us Shinigami.
[Aizen Sōsuke]: I'm also warning you in advance! Don't touch my Soul Society! Otherwise, you'll bear the consequences!
At this time, many forces had joined the chat group, making conversations and quarrels increasingly complex.
Of course, under Yhwach's restraint, the other Quincy didn't speak impatiently.
Otherwise, this chat group would become a multi-party battlefield...
And after witnessing Kenpachi Zaraki's fighting power, the Shinigami's confidence was growing stronger!
In this battle, could they, the Shinigami, finally win?
[Unohana Retsu]: He truly is a beast who has unleashed his own strength. With such powerful capabilities, I really want to fight him... Never mind, at this moment, Captain Zaraki can probably only be restrained by the Captain-Commander.
[Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni]: Yes, perhaps this "imagination" user is so desperate because of our Soul Society's powerful fighting force, which has pushed them into a corner.
[Ichigo Kurosaki]: Great! Captain Zaraki is fully qualified to protect Soul Society and Rukia and the others! I was worried at first and didn't know whether I should take action.
...
In the scene, after being defeated by Kenpachi Zaraki repeatedly, Gremmy had lost his composure.
Was there really no object in this world that could withstand Kenpachi Zaraki's attacks?
With this thought, Gremmy, unwilling to admit defeat, became even more frenzied.
Since there was no physical object that could kill Kenpachi Zaraki, he could only use intangible methods!
With this idea, Gremmy created 10 more copies of himself.
With so many selves, he unleashed more powerful imagination and dragged Kenpachi Zaraki into outer space!
WHOOSH!
Gremmy declared proudly at this moment:
"In outer space, body fluids in your eyeballs and oral mucosa evaporate, and blood will boil when wounds are exposed to the vacuum!"
"If you try to breathe, your lungs will be destroyed."
"Your body will slowly collapse - prepare to die!"
This was one of the few moments when Gremmy could actually threaten Kenpachi Zaraki!!
And Kenpachi Zaraki was exactly as Gremmy described - water was evaporating from all parts of his body, and it looked like his life force would soon disappear.
...
The comment army attacked again:
'Wow, they actually imagined the universe.'
'This is very scientific!'
'It seems the Quincy truly are masters of advanced scientific concepts. If it were the Shinigami, how would they know this cutting-edge science?'
'The pattern is finally a bit bigger. It took 12 Gremmys to come up with it.'
'I really want to know if Captain-Commander Yamamoto could survive here.'
'Haha, I also want to know if Aizen could survive here.'
'It seems that no matter how strong this so-called imagination is, there are limits. No matter how terrifying something is, I guess his clone count isn't sufficient.'
...
At this time, members of Hueco Mundo and Soul Society were even more worried seeing Gremmy's bizarre abilities.
Gremmy's techniques were becoming increasingly strange.
He had summoned a meteorite before, and now he could imagine outer space.
It wasn't easy to teleport such a long distance with Kenpachi Zaraki.
He must have consumed enormous energy and spiritual pressure to accomplish it.
Many Shinigami and Hollows shook their heads, thinking they would never survive in outer space...
This was one of the few moments when Gremmy's imagination truly exploded!
At the same time, Aizen Sōsuke also fell into deep thought.
Although Aizen wasn't afraid of Gremmy's ability - he thought it insufficient to pose a threat to him.
But if Gremmy was this powerful, then wouldn't the King of Quincy behind him, Yhwach, be even more formidable!?
Facing such an opponent, one must be cautious!
Just like dealing with Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni, carefully explore Yhwach's intelligence and use special means to limit his strength in order to defeat him.
In addition, this Gremmy's imagination actually made Aizen feel kinship.
After all, the Hōgyoku he possessed was, to some extent, closely related to imagination!
The true power of the Hōgyoku could make things develop in the direction expected by the host.
Of course, it was impossible for all things to be realized - the host must have the strength to fulfill this wish.
However, Aizen wouldn't be like Gremmy, who only materialized specific things.
He pursued more abstract concepts, sought higher realms, and evolution to another dimension!
This was superior to Gremmy's imagination.
So after witnessing Gremmy's poor utilization of imagination, Aizen also strengthened his inner convictions.
Only by entering a higher realm could one truly change destiny and gain more powerful strength. Only then could one truly establish rules and let the world move forward in the direction one expected!
With this thought, Aizen's eyes became clearer.
At the same time...
Ichimaru Gin, Tōsen Kaname and other subordinates also clearly felt Aizen's momentum suddenly soar!
It seemed the battle between Gremmy and Kenpachi Zaraki had also greatly impacted Aizen.
They also had their own unique thoughts - either seeking revenge on Aizen, or fighting to the death to defeat powerful enemies for Aizen - so they all swore secretly!
Facing the unpredictable future, they really had to become stronger!
...
In the scene, when Gremmy was looking at Kenpachi Zaraki with arrogance and pride, a massive sword appeared through a spatial crack...
SWISH!
It sliced Gremmy in half at lightning speed!
Kenpachi Zaraki also escaped from space and said coldly:
"You forgot to harden your body!"
In addition to his absolute strength, Kenpachi Zaraki's ability to read situations and seize opportunities was also excellent! He immediately exploited Gremmy's flaw at this moment.
Gremmy ultimately failed and missed the opportunity to kill Kenpachi Zaraki!
But even at this point, Gremmy wasn't giving up.
He continued letting countless copies of himself embrace Kenpachi Zaraki tightly, restricting his movements.
And these bodies transformed into bombs to attack Kenpachi Zaraki!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!
Countless explosion shockwaves swept in all directions with overwhelming momentum!
The onlookers all stared at the screen intently, wanting to see if Kenpachi Zaraki could survive.
Of course, Gremmy wasn't truly dead and soon created himself again.
And after a burst of smoke, Kenpachi Zaraki reappeared! He wasn't directly killed by Gremmy.
Even though he was already covered in wounds, Kenpachi Zaraki still stood proudly with no signs of falling!
Whether it was combat power or defense, Kenpachi Zaraki was a spiritual pressure monster who stood at the pinnacle!
Seeing this, Gremmy was already panting, sweating profusely, and falling into madness.
Damn it!
The appearance of 12 selves, imagining the universe and self-destruction, had consumed enormous amounts of his spiritual pressure.
But he still couldn't completely defeat Kenpachi Zaraki!
Impossible!
Arrogant and conceited, he had always believed himself the strongest Quincy in his imagined world!
He refused to believe he couldn't defeat Kenpachi Zaraki!
And at this moment, what he imagined was ruthlessly torn apart by Kenpachi Zaraki!
Naturally, Gremmy's mentality would completely collapse!
His worldview completely shattered!
At this time, Gremmy's eyes were crazed, staring at Kenpachi Zaraki viciously.
Even if he had to use every means, he would completely destroy him.
Soon, he realized that since there was nothing that could kill Kenpachi Zaraki, the only one who could kill Kenpachi Zaraki was Kenpachi Zaraki himself!
He simply imagined himself as Kenpachi Zaraki!
"Hahahaha!"
With wild laughter, Gremmy's body began swelling more and more.
It seemed he was really going to become Kenpachi Zaraki!
Gremmy was so self-righteous that he thought he could finally defeat Kenpachi Zaraki next!
Unfortunately, before he could become Kenpachi Zaraki...
CRACK!
His body actually exploded.
For a moment, blood and flesh flew everywhere.
BANG!!!
This... How was this possible?
Gremmy's consciousness was blurred, and he couldn't believe what he was witnessing...
Could it be...
Had he really failed?
Kenpachi Zaraki sneered and said:
"Fool! You imagined yourself as me, with a monster's power inside you, and then you were killed by that monster."
"Are you kidding me? Can you imagine my power?"
"I can hardly remember it myself - it's been sealed in my memory!"
Gremmy laughed miserably as his body fell from the sky.
During this process, he muttered to himself unwillingly:
"Am I being killed by my own imagination?"
"I... did imagine Kenpachi Zaraki's power..."
"No, Kenpachi Zaraki! My imagination was correct!"
"I imagined all your strength, but I didn't imagine... the only thing that can withstand your strength is your own body!"
"I didn't lose to you in imagination! It's just my body that lost to you..."
"Well, this is just an excuse. My imagination has indeed lost... Ah! I really wanted to win!"
As he spoke, the stubborn Gremmy's breath became weak and he was about to die.
Not long after, his spiritual pressure dissipated and his body disappeared...
In the end, only one object remained - his brain!
...
At this time, the comment barrage exploded again and kept floating by:
'Gremmy: I finally killed myself.'
'I want to eliminate myself. I have no understanding of my imagination versus physical strength.'
'Kenpachi: My full power - even my own body can barely handle it. What were you thinking with your small frame?'
'Kenpachi: It's all because of your appearance. I don't have Yachiru anymore - die!'
'Forcing Kenpachi to this point, Gremmy has no regrets in life. After all, not many can do it.'
...
In the chat group, countless Soul Society Shinigami were excited.
[Ichigo Kurosaki]: Great! Kenpachi Zaraki finally defeated this hateful enemy!
[Hitsugaya Tōshirō]: This was a tough battle. To be honest, among the other Gotei 13 members, probably only a few are qualified to defeat The Visionary.
[Kenpachi Zaraki]: Really boring. I wanted to show off my skills, but before I even started, he wanted to kill himself. Otherwise, I would have had a chance to finish him with one blow.
["V" Gremmy Thoumeaux]: Impossible... I, I failed. Is there something wrong with my ability? Ah!!! I really wanted to win!
Gremmy was truly furious at this moment!
[Jugram Haschwalth]: This Zaraki Kenpachi is indeed quite capable. But he's been fighting for so long, so it's inevitable he's covered in wounds and has consumed significant stamina. He'll soon be eliminated by the rest of our forces.
[Madarame Ikkaku]: Hmph, you're overthinking it. We in the Gotei 13 have plenty of talent. Someone will definitely come to help Captain Zaraki!
[Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni]: Are you Quincy going to speak up? Hmph! Tell your leader... provided your leader is still the Yhwach I beat half to death... Tell him that if he invades Soul Society again, I won't give him a chance to escape this time! His body and soul must be completely annihilated!
[Aizen Sōsuke]: Don't worry, Captain-Commander. If Soul Society were under my control at that time, I would use my spiritual pressure to crush Yhwach into powder!
[Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni]: Aizen! I will not let you off easily, you traitor to Soul Society!
...
At this time in the Wandenreich, seeing Gremmy defeated by Kenpachi Zaraki, Yhwach wasn't overly angry and still maintained the demeanor of a confident leader.
Although he was sometimes cruel to his subordinates, it was useless to be angry now. He should think about how to arrange the future.
He also wanted to boost his Quincy's spirits.
"Although Gremmy was defeated, he was only defeated by a Special War Potential, so it wasn't unfair."
"Previously, Äs Nödt and Gerard Valkyrie both had brilliant performances."
"Moreover, the scene currently shows that our Wandenreich is clearly in the process of replacing Soul Society."
"I believe the Soul King Palace will soon fall into our hands!"
"So don't worry, everyone. As long as I fully recover my strength, Soul Society will be completely destroyed!"
After hearing these words, the Quincy weren't too depressed.
They did have firm confidence in themselves.
"It's unfortunate that this Zaraki Kenpachi has obviously become much stronger. I don't know what method he used. At least compared to previous battles, it's obviously not on the same level."
"Next time, let me deal with Kenpachi Zaraki first and destroy him completely before he becomes stronger, so he can no longer grow!"
"This guy Gremmy is truly shameful. With such ability, he couldn't handle Kenpachi Zaraki and killed himself."
"I must find an opportunity to teach him a lesson and see if he dares to be so proud and brag about being the strongest Quincy again."
...
While everyone was discussing, a familiar voice sounded again.
[DING!!]
[Now let's start the question session!]
[Question: Which of the comments that appeared before became the selected comment?]
After hearing this, all audience members became excited.
After all, they still remembered the previous rewards vividly.
So they must not miss this opportunity to answer questions!
[Madarame Ikkaku]: The Eleventh Division's way of thinking: Although they don't know who this person is, they feel he deserves a beating... so they'll beat him up first.
[Yachiru Kusajishi]: For Kenpachi, Yachiru must be very willing!!
[Hitsugaya Tōshirō]: The domineering King of Simple Slashing finally appears!
[Kuchiki Byakuya]: Once Kenpachi Zaraki shows up, everyone feels secure!
[Ichigo Kurosaki]: Kenpachi: What are A-rank ultimate moves? I'm just too lazy to name them.
[Abarai Renji]: One of the few show-offs in Bleach who won't get face-slapped has appeared!
