Bleach: Shadows of Destiny

Alien: I'm Back!

--------------------------------------------

The technique known as "Mukyū Shunkō" is characterized by its powerful explosive force and long-lasting effect. When employed in combat, the wind unleashed upon impact has the ability to easily damage rocks and trees.

The origin of "Mukyū Shunkō" is not confined to Kido conversion alone; it also harnesses the flow of the surrounding air, giving it an indefinite duration*.

[*Meaning: It allows him to maintain his Shunkō for as long as he wishes once he activates it.]

After Yamahiko utilizes Mukyū Shunkō, his speed undergoes a significant increase. With each step he takes, the force generated by the explosive wind propels him instantly towards his opponent.

Boom.

Yamahiko threw a punch, and the blue figure mirrored his motion.

Their fists collided, and the blue figure's fist suddenly exploded, its forearm vanishing without a trace amid a burst of blue arcs.

"Oh?"

The blue figure tilted his head slightly, surprised that Yamahiko could trigger an explosion capable of shattering his arm directly.

However, his surprise was only fleeting. In the next moment, lightning flickered, energy flowed, and his arm returned to its original form.

As long as there is lightning, he could repair himself without limits.

Yamahiko found the situation difficult, yet he pressed on with his attack. He lunged towards his opponent, but the blue figure's lightning flashed, and in the next moment, the figure had vanished, reappearing in the distance.

"I've got you."

As soon as his opponent reappeared, Yamahiko was already there, delivering a powerful kick.

Bang!

Yamahiko's kick cleaved his opponent in half from head to toe. A surge of wind energy radiated from his feet, enveloping the opponent's body and causing it to explode.

Snap.

With a snap, the blue figure shattered like broken foam, scattering on the ground and transforming into arcs of electricity that continued to surge.

"Is it over?" Kensei Muguruma raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised, as he observed the scene.

"Is it really that easy?" Love Aikawa asked.

Shinji Hirako shook his head. "It's not easy. With his current state, Yamahiko can counter all of our Bankai using only his ability, including mine."

Yamahiko, without resorting to his Shikai, is much stronger than any of them present, relying solely on "Shunkō," "Hollowfication," and "Kidō."

Yamahiko currently possesses formidable combat prowess, sufficient to contend with experts at the level of a captain.

Just then, the underground electric lights continued to converge, once more sculpting a human figure with crackling lightning.

"Since you insist, then I'll have to kill you myself," the blue figure sighed, the lightning flickering before disappearing once again.

Now, what is he up to?

Yamahiko turned around, kicking out with his foot, and the blue figure reappeared, Yamahiko's foot accurately striking the opponent's body.

Boom.

However, what got hit wasn't the opponent but a blue lightning column infused with Yamahiko's wind energy, causing a massive explosion.

Crack.

The ground cracked as Yamahiko was sent flying, crashing heavily some distance away.

"Cough, cough," he uttered as he spat out a mouthful of blood, yet his bones remained intact. Despite his body having attained skin as tough as steel, his resistance to impacts had significantly increased, leaving his internal organs vulnerable to shock.

Amidst the lightning, the blue figure reappeared, slowly approaching Yamahiko.

Swoosh.

Yamahiko's figure trembled and disappeared once more, only to be followed by a sudden numbness spreading through the air. In an instant, a massive electrical net materialized, enveloping the entire space and blocking any possible escape routes.

As Yamahiko collided with one of the electrical currents, they surged towards him, completely covering his body.

"Ah!" Yamahiko let out a painful groan as the electrical surge knocked him down to the ground, his body charred.

The blue figure slowly approached him and said gently, "You see, you can't defeat me at all."

Yamahiko, gritting his teeth and enduring the intense pain in his body, looked at the figure and asked, "Why won't you acknowledge me?"

"Because you are too weak."

The blue figure looked at Yamahiko and said, "I'll give you one more chance. Give up, and I'll spare your life."

Upon hearing this, Yoruichi shouted, "Yamahiko, give up!"

"It's okay. If you do not achieve your Bankai this time, you can train until you're stronger before trying again," said Lisa Yadōmaru as she looked at Yamahiko, trying to persuade him.

Yamahiko, determined, replied, "I won't give up unless you acknowledge me."

"Acknowledge you? Why should I acknowledge someone so weak?" came the retort.

The blue figure took another step toward Yamahiko, his right hand rising as a spear of lightning slowly took shape. "I'll ask you one last time, won't you admit defeat?" he asked.

Yamahiko looked at the blue figure and smiled defiantly, saying, "I won't admit defeat."

"Then die," the blue figure retorted.

The lightning spear in the blue figure's hand fell, piercing Yamahiko's left chest.

However, to everyone's surprise, the lightning did not harm Yamahiko. Instead, it slowly dissipated, turning into countless sparks.

"Why are you so sure I won't kill you?" The blue figure looked at Yamahiko and asked softly.

Yamahiko smiled and replied, "Because you have spared me many times. From the beginning until now, you have wanted me to give up more than once. Even though you say you want to kill me, you have given me chances time and time again."

The blue figure asked, "Then how can you be sure that this time I won't kill you?"

Yamahiko replied, "You don't acknowledge me because my abilities don't meet your requirements. You don't kill me because you don't want me to die. However, if I can't obtain your power, I will surely die. So why don't you let me use your abilities? When I observed all your abilities, I found that the lightning energy in your body is too powerful for me to handle. So fundamentally, you don't acknowledge me because you don't want me to die."

The blue figure nodded and said, "That's right. If I teach you the Bankai, you will die."

Yamahiko sighed and asked, "Is there really no other way?"

The blue figure replied, "I've seen your determination. I can grant you the power, but you can only use it for five seconds. After that, your body will be on the verge of collapse."

"Only five seconds?" Yamahiko looked at the figure with a hint of disappointment.

The blue figure spoke softly, "If it were your strongest form, five seconds would suffice. However, remember, you must not exceed five seconds under any circumstances."

His strongest form, known as "Dual Lightning Wing Hollowfication".

That would be sufficient, even if it was only for five seconds.

Yamahiko nodded and said, "Okay, I'll be careful."

"Then I'll tell you my name."

The blue figure walked up, leaned down, and whispered softly in Yamahiko's ear, "Remember my name is..."

With his final words, his body slowly disappeared, transforming into a Zanpakuto.

Yamahiko walked over and grasped the Zanpakuto tightly. 

Finally, he had the confidence to defeat Aizen.
