Chapter 230

As one of the few remaining original captains of the Gotei 13, this was not the first time she had seen Yamamoto's Bankai.

But compared to a thousand years ago, the opponent's Bankai today was clearly even more refined.

Occupying the position of the strongest Shinigami, not only did he not become slack, but he continued to practice diligently.

This will, which had never wavered for a thousand years, was something even Retsu Unohana had to bow down to.

"It seems this farce is about to end."

"End?"

Seemingly hearing Retsu Unohana's muttering, Lin Que nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, I've seen just about everything I needed to see, so it really should end."

"Did you deliberately let me release my Bankai?"

Not far away, Yamamoto frowned slightly upon hearing this: "What exactly is your purpose?"

"Hmm? Did I not tell you?"

Lin Que recalled for a second before nodding thoughtfully.

"Oh, I did forget to tell you all."

"Well~ it's not a big problem, it's not too late to say it now."

Lin Que raised his hand and pointed to the sky: "I have only one purpose, and that is to become the new master of this world."

Yamamoto narrowed his eyes: "Is your target the Soul King?"

"The Soul King? What kind of pathetic thing is that?"

Lin Que waved his hand with a smile: "I don't care about that stupid thing that likes to be slaughtered; I mean exactly what I said."

"I want to become the ruler of this world, do you understand?"

"It seems I cannot let you live."

Facing this goal that sounded abnormal, Yamamoto did not continue to ask.

Although the power of Longsword of the Remnant Flame is very strong, its shortcomings are also very obvious; it is too strong.

Maintaining it for a long time would even evaporate all the moisture in the entire world, leading to the world's destruction.

Taking a step forward, Yamamoto, who had truly exerted his full power, arrived in front of Lin Que in an instant and raised Longsword of the Remnant Flame to slash at him.

Longsword of the Remnant Flame, East: Rising Sun Edge!

The already extremely compressed flames were further compressed to the tip of Longsword of the Remnant Flame.

It neither burns nor releases explosive flames; a strike that could be called the ultimate fell, evaporating everything in the passage in front of him.

"Not bad, not bad."

A smile appeared on Lin Que's face: "I've been in Soul Society for so long, and finally, there's an attack that's slightly worth looking at."

Of course, it was only worth looking at.

Lin Que raised his right hand, and under the incredulous gazes of everyone, he directly grabbed the tip of Longsword of the Remnant Flame in his hand.

"Hmm... this temperature is not bad, quite warm."

"How is this possible?!"

Yamamoto, who had been full of confidence since the beginning of the battle, showed a look of shock for the first time.

This was his full power in the true sense, a strike carrying his conviction to kill.

Before swinging it, Yamamoto had considered that Lin Que would dodge this strike directly, or be arrogant and not dodge it completely, ending up severely injured and near death.

But Yamamoto truly had not considered that Lin Que would actually catch Longsword of the Remnant Flame head-on.

You must know that after entering Final Release state, the surface temperature of Longsword of the Remnant Flame, which compressed all the flames, was as high as 15 million degrees.

This was already equivalent to the core temperature of the sun.

To be able to catch this strike unscathed, wouldn't that mean Lin Que could take a bath in the core region of the sun?

"You dare to be distracted at a time like this."

Lin Que's voice came from the side: "Aren't you looking down on me a bit too much?"

Longsword of the Remnant Flame, West: Remnant Sun Prison Garb!

Watching Lin Que, who had quietly approached him, Yamamoto, realizing he could no longer escape, could only follow his instincts and release his strongest defense...

As if draped in the scorching sun, the surging Reiatsu turned into 15 million-degree flames, covering his body.

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably be burned to ashes just by getting close to this terrifying high temperature.

But for Lin Que, this naturally didn't count for anything.

Just like when he caught Longsword of the Remnant Flame earlier, his palm easily passed through the defense of Remnant Sun Prison Garb and landed on Yamamoto's chest.

A muffled sound rang out, and Yamamoto's body instantly slammed into the ground not far away.

Boom—!

The entire Seireitei trembled slightly at this instant, and a huge crater formed under everyone's gaze.

"Old Man Yama!"

Shunsui Kyoraku, not far away, subconsciously wanted to rush out to save him.

But as if anticipating his action, a roar came from the crater a step earlier.

"Don't come over!!!"

Relying on his tenacious willpower, Yamamoto, who had not fallen unconscious, stood up from the crater.

Dragging his body, which was nearly scrapped, he gripped Longsword of the Remnant Flame tightly with both hands and swung his final strike.

Longsword of the Remnant Flame, North: Heaven and Earth End in Ashes!

A strike that could be called god-speed fell in an instant, and the slash with terrifying high temperature rushed toward Lin Que from a distance.

Learning from the previous two lessons, Yamamoto did not aim at Lin Que's torso this time, but aimed at his head.

"You are truly tenacious."

Although he had deliberately controlled his strength, Lin Que truly didn't expect Yamamoto to be able to stand up again.

"The strongest Shinigami in a thousand years, you really do have something."

"It's a pity, it's only to this extent."

Without the slightest hesitation or pause in his footsteps, Lin Que walked straight toward Heaven and Earth End in Ashes.

Boom—!

A terrifying explosion rang out, and the Shakonki wall behind Lin Que collapsed instantly.

The indestructible Shakonki wall slammed onto the ground, bringing with it a huge sound and thick smoke.

And under everyone's desperate gaze, Lin Que, who hadn't even blinked, took the hit of Heaven and Earth End in Ashes and arrived in front of Yamamoto.

"It's over." ===== CHAPTER 232 =====
