Chapter 326 The Old Savior - Yamamoto Shigekuni
As Asuka entered Rukongai.
Creation Mountain, second level.
A scorched area covered in obsidian, filled with lava and volcanic activity.
The air was thick with the pungent smell of sulfur, and the earth was shattered by rivers of scalding lava.
On the cliffs above this sea of lava, a life-or-death struggle concerning the fate of the world is reaching its most brutal stage.
"Hahaha! What's wrong, Little Dodo?! Is that all the strength you have?!"
The speaker was a purple-haired man with brass rings around his chin and dressed in avant-garde and daring clothes.
He was piloting a massive, dark green, ferocious demon god, emitting an extremely arrogant laugh.
This is the personal demon god Garuberan piloted by Doran, the son of the demon god.
Opposite him was a samurai-type demon god, Ryujinmaru, with a blue, white, and red color scheme and carrying a sword.
It knelt on one knee on the charred rock, its surface covered with craters and scratches of all sizes, and even several sections of its armor were damaged....
"Damn it... how can this guy's demon god be so strong?!"
Inside the cockpit of Ryujinmaru, Wataru, the boy known as the savior, wiped the sweat from his brow, his eyes filled with anxiety. "This is the second level of the volcanic area. The extreme heat not only severely limits the performance of Ryujinmaru's machine, but also rapidly depletes Wataru's stamina."
In contrast, Doron's Dark Demon God seemed to be in his element, each attack carrying the power to shatter steel.
It roared and its right claw transformed into a drill, smashing down fiercely towards Xiaodu.
Xiao Du had no choice but to grit his teeth, grip the control stick tightly, and desperately resist the terrifying force coming from above.
"Ryujinmaru! Can you still hold on?!" Wataru shouted loudly to his partner.
【Xiao Du, my power is limited here. We must find a way to turn the tide as soon as possible!】
Ryujinmaru's calm and authoritative voice rang out in the cockpit, but it couldn't hide the strain in it.
Despite Wataru's desperate efforts, Doro's demon was parried, but it quickly performed a backflip in mid-air.
"Want to turn the tide? Don't even dream about it!"
Doran laughed, his attacks becoming even more ruthless: "Little Dodo, although I like you very much, for your father's sake, you'll turn into ashes in this volcano! Explosive Kick!"
With its right leg thrusters fully engaged, Garubelan unleashed a ghostly blue tail flame.
The enormous steel foot, carrying overwhelming kinetic energy, slammed into Ryujinmaru's chest armor!
Bang-!!!
A deafening crash resounded.
A huge burst of dazzling sparks erupted from Ryujinmaru's chest, and the massive machine flew backward uncontrollably.
"Wow!"
Wataru, inside the Ryujinmaru, was violently thrown from his original position by the shock and crashed heavily onto the dragon's body, letting out a scream.
At the edge of the cliff, Ryujinmaru's heavy body had lost its balance, and the rocks beneath its feet shattered inch by inch under the force of the machine.
Finally, amidst Doro's triumphant laughter, Ryujinmaru plummeted off the cliff, falling straight down into the molten lava lake below, which was churning at temperatures of over a thousand degrees!
"Xiaodu!!!"
In the safe zone some distance away, his companions let out a gasp.
Xiao Mei, who always had a cheerful and carefree personality and wore her hair in a high ponytail, suddenly burst into tears.
She was still holding the unfinished rice ball in her hand, jumping up and down in a panic: "Oh no! Oh no! Xiao Du has fallen into boiling hot bathwater! He's going to turn into a boiled monkey!"
Beside him, the burly Master Shibaragu, with a face as big as a hippopotamus, was sweating profusely and frantically searching his body.
"Where's my phone?! Where's my SIM card?! Damn it, of all times, I can't find a phone booth, so I can't call anyone!"
However, no matter how anxious they were, they couldn't change the fact that Ryujinmaru was rapidly falling into the lava.
"Goodbye, poor little Dodo!" Doro stood on the edge of the cliff, looking down at the mech about to be swallowed by the lava, his eyes gleaming with victory.
Puff-!
Ryujinmaru's massive body crashed heavily into the lava lake, splashing up dark red lava waves tens of meters high.
In just a few seconds, most of the machine had sunk into the high-temperature liquid that could melt everything.
"Ryujinmaru..." Wataru struggled to get up in the cockpit.
Looking at the red warning flashing in Ryujinmaru's vision, and the scene outside that had completely turned into a sea of fire, the little savior felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
"Is this... the end for me...?"
7
The situation is extremely precarious.
Just as Doro was about to turn and leave, and Watari's consciousness began to blur in the high temperature, at the critical moment...
The lava lake, which had just begun to ripple slightly after Ryujinmaru fell in, suddenly began to boil violently!
Glug! Glug! Glug!
Those weren't ordinary bubbles; the entire bottom of the lava lake began to churn!
It's as if a super active volcano that has been dormant for hundreds of millions of years is erupting wildly in a way that defies the laws of physics!
The dark red magma began to change color strangely, first turning into a blazing bright gold, and then faintly revealing a chilling pale white!
"Huh? What's going on?"
Doran, standing on the cliff, stopped controlling the demon god and looked down at the abnormally turbulent sea of lava with a puzzled expression.
"Could it be that Ryujinmaru is making a last-ditch effort? That's impossible. At that temperature, even a demon armor would melt..."
Before Doro could finish speaking, a roar a hundred times louder than when Ryujinmaru fell earlier exploded from the very center of the lava lake!
"Drink it!!!"
With a hoarse roar, the turbulent currents of time and space swept in like a raging tsunami!
A terrifying pillar of magma, over tens of meters in diameter, roared into the sky like a waterfall flowing backwards, piercing straight into the clouds!
The scorching heatwave even blasted a huge hole in the thick volcanic ash cloud in the sky!
Under this earth-shattering explosive force, the Ryujinmaru, which was originally sinking, was actually lifted up by the upward-spurting pillar of fire and thrown back into the air!
"What...what's going on?!"
Doron's eyes widened in disbelief.
Xiao Mei and Master Shibaragu were both stunned, their jaws nearly dropping to the ground.
But what truly shattered their worldview and left them bewildered were the scenes that followed.
As the towering pillar of magma and fire gradually dissipated.
boom!!!!!
In the heart of that churning lava, where temperatures reach thousands of degrees, in that extremely hot hell where even steel can instantly vaporize.
A human figure slowly emerged.
It was an old man.
He was shirtless, his upper body covered with a dense, shocking array of cross-shaped and striped scars.
The long white beard and eyebrows danced wildly in the heat, yet strangely, they weren't ignited by the intense heat in the slightest.
The old man closed his eyes and his hands hung naturally at his sides.
His feet were firmly planted on the churning molten lava, as if walking on flat ground!
Every inch of his skin radiated a heat more terrifying and profound than the surrounding magma.
It was as if... this volcanic lava, powerful enough to incinerate everything, was nothing more than gentle bathwater in front of him.
This person is none other than Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, who just shattered the prison gates and tore through space and time to arrive!
"...Where is this?"
Yamamoto Genryusai slowly opened his eyes, still filled with confusion after experiencing the spatial turbulence.
"I remember... I used the Zanka no Tachi to shatter Aizen's strange box..."
",
"...It seems the force of that explosion threw me out of the rift and randomly banished me to some unknown region..."
Yamamoto frowned, exhaled a breath of stale air, and recalled everything that had just happened.
Just as Yamamoto Genryusai was analyzing his own situation, Doro above the cliff was completely bewildered.
"Hey! What kind of cosmic joke is this?!"
Doron frantically grabbed his hair in the cockpit, letting out a distorted scream through the demon's loudspeaker: "Where did that old geezer come from?! Why isn't he piloting the demon...? He's still bathing in lava and hasn't been scalded to death yet?!"
"This isn't magic! This isn't scientific! This doesn't fit the lore!!!"
Doro's screams successfully attracted Yamamoto Genryusai's attention.
The old man slightly raised his head and swept his majestic eyes over the demon god in mid-air, as well as Ryujinmaru, who had just been thrown into the sky by the lava fountain and was now hanging miserably on the edge of the cliff.
"Um?"
A deep sense of confusion flashed in Yamamoto Genryusai's eyes.
He gazed at those strangely shaped, brightly colored creatures... with exaggeratedly large heads and short limbs, resembling giant toys from some kind of festival, and fell into deep thought.
"What is this? It exudes an unsettling, evil aura..."
"6
"Its size is comparable to that of a Kylian, but it lacks bony surfaces and an empty chest cavity... Its entire body is covered in strange shells, each displaying a different form..."
In Yamamoto's mind, the greatest enemy of Soul Society immediately came to mind...
"Could these be some kind of newly evolved Hollowfidel?"
However, before Yamamoto could figure out what was happening, Doro launched an attack first: "I don't care where you came from, you weird old man! If you dare to play tricks on my turf, you'll die along with that little Dodo!"
""
"Take this! Demonic Flame Slash!"
The thrusters on the back of the demon mech spewed out long tongues of fire as it roared toward Yamamoto.
"Grandpa! Watch out!!!"
Having already climbed to the top of the cliff, Xiao Du looked at the terrifying attack that was powerful enough to split the mountain in two and couldn't help but shout a warning to Yamamoto below.
However, Yamamoto Genryusai, standing on the lava, showed no sign of panic.
His gaze didn't even linger on Doron's claws.
"Too slow."
""
Yamamoto Genryusai simply uttered three words.
Swish!
Yamamoto Genryusai's figure vanished into thin air from Doro's attack.
"What?!"
Doron's pupils suddenly contracted, and the gale-force winds from his claws slammed into the lava lake, stirring up a giant wave of lava tens of meters long.
They didn't even touch a hair on Yamamoto's head.
"That traitor Aizen actually banished me to some hidden corner of Hueco Mundo?"
An aged and dignified voice suddenly rang in Dolan's ears.
To be precise, it rang out right above Garubelan's head!
Doron suddenly looked up and saw that the bare-chested old man who had been in the lava was now standing steadily on Garubelan's sharp, knife-like shoulder!
He had one hand behind his back and the other hand resting on the seemingly worn-out longsword, his eyes coldly fixed on the massive creation.
Clang! Clang!
Yamamoto tapped Garuberan's metal shell with his Zanpakuto, his brow furrowing even deeper.
"Not only that, but they have also secretly cultivated this new type of Hollow here, which possesses special steel-skinned armor..."
'
"This is truly an unforgivable crime; they should all be eradicated!!"
"All things, nothingness, turns to ashes—Ryujin Jakka!!"
