In the courtyard of the Eighth Division barracks, Iba Tetsuzaemon, who had become the new Captain, was kneeling on the ground, supporting his injured body with his Zanpakutō in one hand.
At this time, blood was constantly overflowing from the corner of his mouth, and his body was covered with charred scars, as if he had been injured by some gunpowder or heat weapon.
Since Yamamoto Genryūsai had died in battle, the original Captain of the Eighth Division, Shunsui Kyōraku, had inherited the position of Captain-Commander.
Shunsui Kyōraku's Lieutenant, Nanao Ise, naturally replaced Iba Tetsuzaemon as the new Lieutenant of the First Division.
In this situation, Iba Tetsuzaemon took over the Eighth Division, which had been in charge of Kyōraku Shunsui, and became the new Captain of the Eighth Division.
At this time, in front of Iba Tetsuzaemon, a slender figure was standing here with his back to him.
"Kuchiki Byakuya, Uchiha Yūsuke, whom you have defected to, killed the Captain-Commander. Even if you save my life now, I will never be grateful to you!"
Iba Tetsuzaemon said to Kuchiki Byakuya in front of him.
Kuchiki Byakuya ignored Iba Tetsuzaemon, but looked at the Wandenreich Quincy who had seriously injured Iba Tetsuzaemon.
The Quincy that Kuchiki Byakuya was facing was a bit special. He was not a human, or even a living being, but a robot with self-awareness.
This robot was named BG9, and the Schrift he possessed was "K", which stood for "The Knuckle".
With this ability, he could transform various mechanical weapons on his body to attack the enemy. He was an alien Quincy who was very good at attacking.
Kuchiki Byakuya looked calmly at the enemy in front of him and said slowly: "I don't need anyone to be grateful to me. I'm here just to solve my own enemies."
Kuchiki Byakuya's words were not for the mechanical Quincy in front of him, but were answering Iba Tetsuzaemon behind him.
At this time, although Iba Tetsuzaemon was very dissatisfied with Kuchiki Byakuya, who had defected to Yūsuke, he still had some gratitude in his heart, thinking that the other party had also saved him and the subordinates of the Eighth Division.
Then he snorted coldly and said with a solemn expression: You have to be careful of this guy in front of you. He has the ability to take away Bankai.
I was unfortunately defeated because he took away my Bankai and my spiritual pressure dropped sharply.
After speaking, Iba Tetsuzaemon snorted again and said: "I'm telling you this just to defeat these enemies who are invading the Seireitei. Don't think that I'm helping you!"
Kuchiki Byakuya was slightly stunned when he heard this. He was not surprised that the enemy had the ability to take away Bankai.
Yūsuke had already told all the members of Las Noches about this in Las Noches.
He was stunned because he didn't expect that this old man who had always been the Captain-Commander's adjutant was actually a tsundere.
After reminding himself, he still pretended to be tough and said that he was not helping him.
Just as Kuchiki Byakuya was stunned, a dimensional hole similar to a Garganta directly appeared beside him, and a very delicately crafted ring was quietly suspended inside.
Although this ring was very well-made, and all the textures, patterns, and carved decorations on it were exquisitely lifelike, this made Kuchiki Byakuya even less want this ring.
It could be seen that the decoration on the ring was a strange baby's head, and the appearance was exactly the same as the huge baby's head of Mayuri Kurotsuchi's Bankai, "Konjiki Ashisogi Jizō".
And the ring part of the ring was like the body of a worm. The whole ring looked like a Konjiki Ashisogi Jizō that had been reduced tens of thousands of times, coiling its body up.
"Clan Chief Kuchiki, this ring is used to resist the Sternritter's ability to absorb Zanpakutō Bankai. Please put it on quickly! In addition, this ring of yours is a limited edition personally designed by this Director. It is very collectible, and I believe you will like it very much!"
After this strangely shaped ring appeared, Mayuri Kurotsuchi's voice also rang in Kuchiki Byakuya's ears at the same time.
It turned out that after Bazz-B defected, he not only helped Mayuri Kurotsuchi maintain and activate the Dragon's Fold device, but also handed over the Stern, which could absorb the Shinigami's Bankai ability, to Mayuri Kurotsuchi for research.
In the original Thousand-Year Blood War, Mayuri Kurotsuchi had only heard of the existence of the Stern, and spent a few days researching a method to restrain it.
Now that a Stern was sent to him, it was really just a matter of minutes to crack it.
Looking at the baby's head decoration on the ring, which had a crying and laughing expression that looked like it was constipated, countless unspeakable thoughts floated through Kuchiki Byakuya's mind.
However, in order to defeat the powerful enemy in front of him, he finally forced himself to endure the discomfort, took out the ring, and put it on his finger.
With the protection of this ring, Kuchiki Byakuya was no longer afraid of the other party's Stern that could absorb Bankai, and without saying a word, he directly activated his Bankai ability.
After putting on this ring, he had an nameless fire in his heart. Since this fire could not be vented on Mayuri Kurotsuchi, then let the enemy in front of him bear it!
"Scatter, Senbonzakura Kageyoshi!"
As the Bankai was activated, countless pink sword blades that looked like cherry blossom petals surrounded the Eighth Division barracks, just like a huge pink whirlwind that devoured the entire barracks.
Seeing that Kuchiki Byakuya had activated Bankai, both Iba Tetsuzaemon and BG9's expressions changed.
Iba Tetsuzaemon, because he could not hear the transmissions that Mayuri Kurotsuchi used for the internal personnel of Las Noches, thought that Kuchiki Byakuya was too confident and ignored his reminder, and thought to himself that things were not good.
And the robot Quincy BG9's mechanical eyes flashed with excitement, and he directly took out a new Stern and emitted a white light towards Kuchiki Byakuya, attempting to take away Kuchiki Byakuya's Bankai power.
However, to the surprise of Iba Tetsuzaemon and BG9, when the light flying out of the Stern was about to hit Kuchiki Byakuya, a huge baby's head flew out from the ring worn on Kuchiki Byakuya's finger, crying and opening its mouth to swallow the white light.
This sudden change shocked everyone present, and Kuchiki Byakuya secretly slandered that damned Mayuri Kurotsuchi for designing this defensive prop to be so disgusting.
Putting aside the dissatisfaction in his heart towards Mayuri Kurotsuchi, Kuchiki Byakuya's spiritual pressure erupted, and all the Senbonzakura sword blades quickly swirled, transforming into a slender tornado composed entirely of pink sword blades, and strangled towards the robot Quincy in front of him.
Discovering that his Stern could not take away the other party's Bankai, BG9 quickly activated his Vollständig ability, and a pair of mechanical wings composed of spiritual particles formed on his back, looking very technological.
After activating Vollständig, four huge Gatling gun barrels immediately transformed on BG9's hands and shoulders.
In just an instant, the four Gatling gun barrels rotated rapidly at the same time, and thousands of powerful spiritual particle bullets densely greeted the pink blade whirlwind that had already rushed in front of him.
Because BG9's spiritual pressure after Vollständig was not inferior to Kuchiki Byakuya, and the Gatling's bullets were very amazing in terms of both power and the impact of the explosion, it actually forcibly blocked Kuchiki Byakuya's Senbonzakura Kageyoshi.
"A Shinigami's Bankai is the last trump card. Now you are a non-threatening opponent in my eyes. I originally wanted you to die under your own Bankai, but now it seems that I can only use my artillery to blast you to death!"
BG9's voice came from the mechanical speaker in his mouth, and his voice had no ups and downs in tone, just like the sound effect of electronic synthesized sound simulating human speech.
As a robot, BG9 had an electronic scanner in his eyes, and his brain also had a highly efficient processing analyzer, which could quickly analyze the enemy's abilities.
Now it had completely understood the ability of Kuchiki Byakuya's Bankai, and believed that Kuchiki Byakuya was no longer a threat to it.
However, what it never expected was that Kuchiki Byakuya, as a technical player, could be regarded as one of the Shinigami who played the Bankai moves the best in the Soul Society.
The form of the Bankai alone already had six known types, and what it was using to deal with it now was just the most basic form!
Too lazy to explain too much to a robot, Kuchiki Byakuya's spiritual pressure increased to another level, and the pink sword blades that were originally like petals actually began to change their form, forming tens of thousands of spiritual particle light swords.
Just from the spiritual pressure and sharp aura emanating from these spiritual particle light swords, it could be known that the lethality was definitely much stronger than the sword blades in the cherry blossom form before.
"Ikka Senjinka (One Bite Thosand Bladed Flower).
As Kuchiki Byakuya's voice fell, these tens of thousands of spiritual particle light swords surrounded BG9 in the center from all directions.
Each spiritual particle light sword exuded a chilling murderous aura, and also made cold oil drip from BG9's forehead.
"Impossible, how can there be such a move!"
Such a voice was issued from the speaker in BG9's mouth, and at the same time, the central processor in its head told it that it had to block every spiritual particle light sword, otherwise it had a 99.99% chance of being destroyed.
Receiving the message from the central processor, BG9 had to mechanically turn around in place, using the four Gatling gun barrels in his hands and shoulders to fire in all directions, using the most efficient way to block those spiritual particle light swords.
However, as Kuchiki Byakuya gave an order, all of BG9's efforts were in vain, and the mechanical body instantly turned into pieces under the attack of countless spiritual particle light swords.
After easily defeating BG9, Kuchiki Byakuya turned his head and said to Iba Tetsuzaemon: "The enemy has been resolved, I'll take my leave."
After speaking, he put the Zanpakutō into the scabbard at his waist and walked slowly towards the outside of the Eighth Division barracks. Just as he came quietly and left quietly, he gently waved his sleeves, not taking away a single cloud.
"Hmph, although you saved me and the members of the Eighth Division, don't think that I will thank you!" Iba Tetsuzaemon's voice rang behind Kuchiki Byakuya.
Then Iba Tetsuzaemon snorted coldly and continued: "But if you come to the Eighth Division as a guest in the future, I can reluctantly receive you."
Hearing Iba Tetsuzaemon's words, Kuchiki Byakuya didn't step steadily and almost fell.
The surrounding Eighth Division members also looked at each other in dismay, with a speechless expression on their faces.
