Yhwach transformed into a bald man with three eyes.
This was the Sternritter with the designation 'Y', Loyd Lloyd!
His ability was to copy everything about his target, including appearance and abilities!
And the one who had just fought Yamamoto was Loyd Lloyd!
"I see!" Looking at Loyd Lloyd, Yamamoto nodded. "I thought you, Yhwach, had become too weak, that you had spent these years in comfort."
"But it seems that's not the case!"
"Good!" Yamamoto nodded excitedly.
After no longer managing the Gotei 13, he had discovered that he enjoyed the feeling of battle.
Seeing that Yhwach was stronger, Yamamoto felt no displeasure, only excitement.
Seeing this, Yhwach frowned: "You bastard, after all these years, you still cling to that demonic visage?"
"Oh, you know about it?" Hearing Yhwach's words, Yamamoto looked at him.
Looking at Yhwach, Yamamoto's eyes narrowed!
His [Demonic Visage] was something he kept at home to remind himself. It was a painting depicting the darkest period of his life, the days when flames burned everything.
He hadn't expected Yhwach to have discovered this.
Yamamoto gained a new appreciation for the Wandenreich's intelligence capabilities.
Thus, Yamamoto became serious.
"You sewer rats have quite a deep understanding of us!" Yamamoto said.
"Mutual, I suppose. Didn't you strike first before I could fully recover?" Yhwach retorted with annoyance. "Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, how did you find out about us?"
"Heh heh!"
How did they find out?
What a joke. Would Yamamoto reveal that in the middle of a battle? How foolish would that be?
Shinigami abilities were best kept secret! Preferably like Sui-Feng's, where only her finger changed, with no flashy effects otherwise.
So, Yamamoto simply looked at Yhwach as if he were an idiot.
Seeing Yamamoto like this, Yhwach grew even more annoyed.
As if exasperated, Yhwach called Loyd Lloyd to his side.
"Loyd, together!" Yhwach commanded.
"Yes, my lord!" Then, the two Yhwachs, each wielding a Reishi Greatsword, charged at Yamamoto together!
Seeing this, Yamamoto smiled again: "Two at once? Just what I wanted!"
"Then, come!"
Facing the onslaught of two Yhwachs, Yamamoto finally brought out his trump card!
"Bankai... Zanka no Tachi!"
With Yamamoto's words, an immeasurable amount of Reiatsu erupted from his body like a volcanic explosion.
When a volcano erupts, the ash alone can kill.
And now, Yamamoto's eruption was similar. The heat capable of melting everything forced even those in the rear to retreat!
The heat waves came like a hairdryer, wave after wave!
But the situation of those behind him was no longer within Yamamoto's consideration!
Holding the Zanka no Tachi, all its flames concentrated on the blade, Yamamoto, without exaggeration, held the sun!
Because the sun's temperature was not higher than the Zanpakuto in his hand at that moment.
Then, gripping his blade, Yamamoto swung it forward.
"Zanka no Tachi, East: Kyokujitsujin!"
Facing Yhwach, Yamamoto announced the name of this technique.
"You should be very familiar with this technique, right?"
Hearing Yamamoto's words, Yhwach's face darkened instantly.
He certainly knew the name.
Because he had been slain by this very technique a thousand years ago!
The ability of 'Kyokujitsujin' was simple: compress all the flames of Ryujin Jakka onto the surface of the blade.
Under such conditions, the blade's surface reached an incredibly high temperature. Anything ordinary would melt upon contact.
Thus, such a blade could cut through anything!
In an instant, the Reishi Greatswords of both Yhwachs were severed by Yamamoto!
Boooooom—
The shattered Reishi currents formed a storm, blasting outward!
With a single slash, both Yhwachs were already forced to evade!
But Yamamoto wouldn't give them such a chance!
So, Yamamoto decisively turned his blade.
"Zanka no Tachi, South: Kaka Juman'okushi Daisojin!"
