When he first triggered the red-grade trait [God of War's Divine Essence] before, the trait fusion function had already been unlocked.
However, although the golden traits in the system were sufficient to fuse into a completely new red-grade trait, Kuzeha couldn't bear to do it!
Because the presence or absence of golden traits had a quite obvious impact on the level of his strength.
At least he had to wait until the numbers were greater.
Only then would he consider selecting some that weren't particularly useful.
And obtaining another red-grade trait at this time, he truly couldn't help but be happy!
Recalling information about [Zanka no Tachi], Kuzeha knew this was the Bankai of that strongest Shinigami, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto!
Yamamoto was the strongest Shinigami in a thousand years!
As Captain-Commander, he founded and led the entire Gotei 13!
His Zanpakutō was the strongest of the fire element!
Capable of burning the three realms!
In the original story, he was defeated.
Because he too had things he cared about and concerns!
No longer possessing the ruthlessness and dominance of his youth, he let enemies find an opening!
Kuzeha also had little sisters he needed to protect.
He would use this as the driving force and source of his protection!
"Why can you see me?"
Something's wrong!
Everything was wrong!
As a cursed spirit, there seemed to be too many people who could discern its traces.
This was one of their greatest advantages compared to ghouls, parasites, and demons!
After all, an invisible enemy was impossible to eliminate.
They were only natural enemies with jujutsu sorcerers!
However, Kuzeha and Azriel had given Jogo a harsh wake-up call.
Actually, the reason was quite simple.
This was a secondary ability brought by the trait [Spirit Summoning]!
After all, to achieve "spirit summoning," the prerequisite was being able to see spiritual entities to make it work.
Cursed spirits were also a type of spiritual entity.
Jogo naturally couldn't hide in front of Kuzeha!
"But it doesn't matter anymore, because you've truly angered me, you brat!"
Jogo roared in fury, its volcanic head instantly erupting!
Including the volcano-shaped opening on top of its head, all the holes overflowed with scorching flames.
The fully leaked cursed energy formed an aura around it that rivaled even Conqueror's Haki!
"Domain Expansion—Coffin of the Iron Mountain!"
Boom!
What exploded like thunder wasn't the sky's lightning, but the ground.
Jogo formed hand seals, manifesting its technique and encompassing both itself and Kuzeha!
Thick layers of earth's crust immediately surged up around them!
Inside and outside were instantly separated into two worlds.
The false ground beneath their feet also began to crack continuously.
Large amounts of fire erupted, and the domain began rapidly heating up, making it difficult for any living being to survive!
Lava surged and overflowed, surrounding the domain to form rushing rivers of magma!
It was completely a scene from the earth's core!
"What's going on? Why are you still alive?"
In a domain, attacks were absolutely guaranteed to hit!
This was why Jogo expanded its domain.
It had already continuously attacked Kuzeha with flame techniques, yet they had no effect whatsoever!
Kuzeha remained silent.
But a charred black blade had already appeared in his right hand!
This blade wasn't large, not even reaching one meter in length.
This size appeared quite weak even among close-combat cold weapons.
However, all the previous attacks had already been absorbed by this blade.
As long as they were flames, they completely couldn't harm Kuzeha's body!
Moreover, this temperature was nothing compared to the sun!
"Zanka no Tachi!"
In an instant, the world-burning power hidden within the blade ignited and burst forth!
Kuzeha merely stood in place, yet the entire domain trembled and wailed!
This was a magnificent fire that could burn even fellow flames into nothingness!
In the comparison of fire, it was undoubtedly Kuzeha's victory...
And this was still within Jogo's domain.
A reversal of fortune?
Not at all!
Because when had Kuzeha ever been at a disadvantage against Jogo?
"Withdraw!"
After the devastating destruction, Kuzeha restrained his power again.
Along with the power came the withdrawal of the remaining flames within Coffin of the Iron Mountain!
Even under Jogo's control, they were still seized!
The entire domain dimmed, leaving only the faint glow on Kuzeha's blade.
Crack!
Coffin of the Iron Mountain took only seconds from expansion to collapse.
Kuzeha immediately followed with a slash of his blade.
Zanka no Tachi still maintained its charcoal-black appearance.
It looked completely unlike something that could be used for battle, clearly appearing as a wooden sword that had been burned through.
But the moment it contacted Jogo, it wasn't cut in half.
Nor was it burned by flames.
The body formed absolutely no resistance, no matter how minute, in the path of Kuzeha's slash!
This part of the torso was like a pencil drawing directly erased with an eraser!
It completely disappeared!
The blade appeared slender.
But it fully concentrated the sun's energy within!
In terms of attack power, Zanka no Tachi was no less than Divine Strike.
But its advantage was that it didn't make too much noise when eliminating enemies.
Inside the orphanage rooms, except for the outside being somewhat too bright, everything remained peacefully quiet.
Suou Yuki, Kasugano Sora, and Sakura were sleeping soundly.
As their big brother, how could he bear to disturb the little sisters' sweet dreams?
