A foreigner's journey

"Second stage... return to the blade?"

[Return to the Blade], also known as Sword Liberation, is a term for ‘Zanpakuto Liberation’ unique to Arrancar.

If the Arrancar is Daxu sealing his spiritual core into a sword and revealing his human face, then the Return of the Blade is the liberation of the Zanpakutō as the spiritual core, allowing the Arrancar itself to return to its original posture.

Shifouin Yoruichi has been with Urahara Kisuke for so long, so he is no stranger to Gui Ren. But the second stage of return... what is that? Is it a literal second-stage return?

She looked at Kaidou suspiciously: "You mean, the Arrancar also has a Zanpakutō similar to the Death God's 'Swastika' that was finally liberated?"

Kaidou focused his gaze on the giant of light that was gradually taking shape in the sky, and replied without looking back:

"It's not impossible if you insist on understanding it this way. But the 'Second Stage Return Blade' is not as popular as your Death God Swastika. Only I and the subordinate officer Ulquiorra have mastered this ability. So, do you think it is so rare? To what level can the advanced power increase the strength of the Arrancar?"

Terrifying spiritual power began to overflow from the surface of Kaidou's body, even producing bursts of creaking and roaring sounds!

Both Shifengin Yoruichi and Zaihou knew that this was just an auditory hallucination caused by the rapid flow of spiritual energy in the air due to the sudden huge spiritual pressure nearby, but this in itself was already very wrong.

In addition to the swastika and the perfect body, Xu also has the ability to instantly increase his spiritual pressure several times or even ten times!

I saw blue veins appearing on Kaidou's forehead, dragon scales began to protrude from the surface of his skin, and strange black flames appeared and burned around him.

Without the words of liberation, Kaidou naturally transformed into a ten-meter-tall dragon-like figure, and his body was still expanding simultaneously with the increase in spiritual pressure.

As if sensing a huge threat, the giant of light in the sky, which was enough to cover the entire sky, raised its giant arm hundreds of meters long and struck hard at the seaway below!

The mere downward pressure of the arm, which is as huge as a hundred-story building, is enough to bring about violent wind pressure that shreds everything in its path. The fire caused by the rapid fall and air friction spreads all over the surface of the light palm.

The atmosphere was rumbling and trembling, and Si Fengyuan Yoruichi and Sui Bee looked up in despair at the huge palm that covered the entire battlefield.

This is no longer an enemy that the swastika or any other type of sword can deal with. Even a breath from such a huge body can create a terrifying hurricane that can tear the human body. I am afraid that even the swastika released by all the captains present will not be enough to offset the enemy's attack. .

Then, they were shocked to see an astonishing scene.

The Void King, who transformed into a dragon-like form, lowered his body and expanded the muscles of his legs to the limit. As the earth cracked, Kaidou turned into a meteor and flew towards the huge palm falling in the sky!

Compared to the huge arm of light as big as a hundred-story high-rise building, Kaidou still looked like a small pebble even if he transformed into a ten-meter-tall dragon.

When gravel collides with meteorites, no one would think that gravel will win.

At the moment when the two sides came into contact, Zaihou couldn't bear to close his eyes, not wanting to see the tragic scene of Kaidou being crushed into pieces. Only Yoruichi Shifengin noticed something was wrong with his unusually sharp eyesight.

There is no real contact between Kaidou and the Arm of Light. There is a slight distance between them. This distance is as stable as the mutual repulsion of magnetic poles.

The pebble that bravely rushed towards the meteorite did not break!

Rolling thunder exploded in the sky, and it was the dark lightning transformed by the overlord's domineering energy that kept streaking across the sky.

Not only was the sea channel not crushed, the surging black flames and black lightning even grew stronger, spreading rapidly from the point of contact to the surroundings!

The falling momentum of the arm of light was restrained.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! That's it? So weak! So weak, hahahaha!"

boom----! ! !

The arm of light, which was like a pillar of heaven, was violently smashed back along the original path, and the giant body of light leaned back crookedly.

The air flow caused by the shaking of the huge body turned into a hurricane, stirring up the clouds in the sky and swirling rapidly.

After transforming into [God's Power·Final Form], Gerald Valkyrie seemed to have lost his mind and language skills and acted only on instinct. The arm of light recovered in an instant, and his giant body of light was completely condensed into shape.

This is a giant god of light that covers the sky and the sun. His body outline is extremely strong, his face is completely integrated with the Roman war helmet, and his shoulders have sharp protrusions like wings of light. His whole body is made entirely of light and is constantly moving toward The lower world drips with dense rain of light.

A dull, non-human sound came from behind the Roman war helmet, like a mechanical giant roaring something with a throat made of gears.

In front of the Giant of Light, another figure caught the attention of Yoruichi and Zhihou. It was Kaidou who had completed the 'Second Stage Return to Blade'.

Kaidou's image at this time is not that of a dragon-man with the Blue Dragon Fruit beast, but a more bizarre posture.

Compared with the dragon-like posture that was often eight or even ten meters high, the current sea channel is only five meters high. The surface of his exposed skin was no longer cyan dragon scales but black flame-like patterns. The patterns completely covered his arms and spread to his shoulders.

The legs are similar to those in the dragon form but stronger, the hands are sharp five-fingered dragon claws, and a thick dragon tail with black flame dragon mane swings behind him.

His long black hair turned into a flame-like shape and burned fiercely. The huge ghost horns on both sides of his forehead remained unchanged, and at the same time, two sharp black dragon horns spread upward from the top of his forehead. His face is more ferocious than in dragon form. Both his nose and sharp teeth resemble that of a dragon. His pupils are vertical dragon pupils, and black flame eye shadow spreads from the corners of his eyes toward his temples. The original sparse stubble on his chin turned into a black goatee that burned like a flame cloud, and the upper lip mustache also extended into two long black beards that fluttered like real dragon beards.

The black flame cloud formed a huge flame ring and floated behind Kaidou's head, like the halo behind the head of the secret sect Fudo Myooh.

The tip of each spike on the mace he held tightly burned with black fire.

The fruit awakening form of the animal-type fish-fruit phantom beast species [Blue Dragon Form]——

[Acalanatha]!

After referring to the old wolf's "Returning Blade Stance" and integrating the return of life, Kaidou's overlord-colored domineering and Qinglong Fruit, which he has continuously trained to the limit, complement each other, and finally achieve a new awakening stance that has never appeared in the original work.

At this moment, Haidao stepped on the flame cloud, standing high in the sky and looking at Gerald from a distance.

"I have seen through your 'infinite resurrection' trick. As long as you are dealt a decisive blow that exceeds the limit of resurrection, you will never be resurrected again."

Kaidou opened his mouth, revealing a mouth full of sharp fangs, with a ferocious smile:

"Feel honored! You are the first enemy defeated by this move. Remember to send me a [Reflection after Beating] after you go to hell!"

As if he understood Kaidou's words, the giant roared and rushed towards Kaidou, raising his arms to beat Kaidou to death.

Kaidou just held the mace burning with black flames with both claws and assumed a classic home run posture. The black flame aperture behind his head quickly enlarged and formed into a black-scaled dragon shadow under the link of dark lightning. The seaway is wrapped in it.

Facing the huge arms waving towards him, the black dragon laughed and turned into a swift shadow that could not be caught by the naked eye and shot towards the giant of light——

"[The Great Wrath Bagua] (maha^ros!an!a)!!"

The giant of light was struck to pieces by the dragon of shadow.

The sky was full of light and rain, and the heavy clouds in the sky exploded together. The giant's upper body and two arms were completely destroyed into the most basic spiritual pieces by this 'Great Wrath Bagua'.

This time, Gerald could no longer be resurrected, which represented the complete death of the 'miracle' in the Heart of the Soul King.

The winner - [Hundred Beasts] Kaidou!
