Chapter 45

The next moment.

"Boom~" rang out.

The severed "Strongest Shield" crashed heavily onto the ground.

At the same time, several "spurt~" "spurt~" sounds rang out as seven heads flew straight up into the air, necks spraying like fountains, sending up great bursts of blood.

The cut surfaces of the seven broken Zanpakuto were smooth as mirrors.

……

"A single slash!"

"The strongest shield was cleaved clean in two!"

"Just how sharp is his Zanpakuto!"

Everyone stared at the broken shield on the ground, their backs drenched in cold sweat.

If they had faced that slash…

They simply dared not think further!

Unohana Retsu, Kyoraku Shunsui and the others wore especially bitter expressions — after years of bitter cultivation, they had been so easily surpassed by a junior.

Especially since—

That junior spent every day slacking off, lying flat, waiting to die, knowing only how to enjoy life!

As for Bai Zai, Yoruichi, Urahara and the others, they were so shocked they could not speak.

They could only stare woodenly at the severed limbs on the ground, at the battlefield ravaged by the storm of blades.

And at the "Strongest Shield" lying on the ground, stripped of all its spirituality, utterly ordinary…

Twin Fangs.

Possessing the attack power of a million Zanpakuto.

Still could not break through the Strongest Shield's defense.

Yet—

It was split open in a single slash by Kuchiki Senya!

Does this not mean that Kuchiki Senya's attack power has already surpassed that of a million Zanpakuto?

"His attack—"

"Relies, for the vast majority, on the sharpness of his Zanpakuto."

"This blade can be called the sharpest Zanpakuto in all of history!"

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni said calmly.

Even—

Sharper by countless times than Nimaiya Wang Yue's Sayafushi — that Zanpakuto so sharp it cannot be sheathed!

Nimaiya Wang Yue.

The Sword God, a member of the Royal Guard, and the original of all Zanpakuto, the creator of the "Asauchi"!

From this day forth—

The name of the sharpest Zanpakuto shall change hands.

"The strongest of the sharpness-type, then…"

Everyone present nodded.

Now—

Soul Society's strongest Zanpakuto had gained yet another blade.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni possessed the strongest of the flame-type, Ryujinjakka.

While Kuchiki Senya was the strongest of the sharpness-type — with the potential and combat power he had displayed…

Perhaps—

He truly could break through the millennium-old structure of the Soul Society in the future.

Surpass Yamamoto.

And become the strongest!

"Enough, stop staring — hurry up and clean up the battlefield." Muguruma Kensei looked at the members of the Gotei 13 who had just arrived.

The battle just now—

The corpses were scattered in pieces everywhere, and because of the overly sharp blade-light—

The terrain and environment had suffered devastating damage and had to be repaired.

"We came here to provide support."

"But who could have imagined we'd end up doing the cleanup instead…"

Off to the side—

The captains all sighed.

None of them had even lifted a finger — Kuchiki Senya alone had dealt with every enemy.

Simply terrifying!

"Today will surely be recorded in Soul Society's history, and this incident is not yet over."

Kyoraku Shunsui shook his head lightly.

Kuchiki Senya was unscathed, his combat power overwhelming — naturally that was a good thing.

Now—

It was time to hold the one behind it all accountable. The Tsunayashiro family is a colossal power.

If they refuse to admit anything and destroy all the evidence…

The Central Forty-Six Chambers — that group of rigid old fogies would absolutely do so to preserve Soul Society's strength.

Smooth things over!

Next, comes the clash between the two giants: the Kuchiki Clan and the Tsunayashiro Clan.

……

The battle.

It's over?

Inside Senya Pavilion.

The many girls stared blankly.

Everything just now was like a myth descending upon them!

One man, one blade, could unleash such terrifying combat power—even captain-level fighters would be powerless beneath that ultimate edge.

Were like chopping melons and cutting vegetables!

In the girls' hearts, a joy of having survived a calamity welled up.

Originally.

Everyone had already been in despair.

"Just what level has my lord Senya's strength reached!"

They had all originally been on the brink of death, starving — it was Senya Pavilion that gave them the Zuodeji Society and excellent treatment.

Following a boss like this, everyone felt immensely fortunate in their hearts!

Handsome and rich.

Of lofty status.

And so powerful as well…

It's simply an overwhelming sense of security!

040. Fame Soars!

The next moment.

As Kuchiki Senya lazily walked into Senya Pavilion, it sparked another cheer from the girls.

They eagerly gathered around him one after another, serving wine, bringing water, feeding him fruit…

Shizuka's eyes went wide as she gazed at Kuchiki Senya amid the flowers.

A plaid shirt, a casual outfit…

Even after such a brutal battle just now, even his hairstyle wasn't mussed!

And he hadn't taken a single injury!

At most.
