175 Chapter 175. * Spoiler *

" Bankai....

Zanka No Tachi! "

The world went silent, flames released from Yamamoto's Shikai completely vanished. His Sword turned pitch black with smoke rising out of it. Its blade was completely charred and rusted.

On the surface it seemed as if Yamamoto's Sword would crumble any moment but Ryu felt entirely different. His eyes changed to that of Chaos, his brows tightened when he saw Yamamoto's Sword.

It was a blazing inferno within his Sword, raging inside. The might of a Heavenly star that brings light to the world could be felt from his sword.

' So this is his Bankai, Zanka No Tachi..... it possess the temperature at the Sun's core. If that hits me, even with my defense I am afraid I would be seriously wounded.'

Before Ryu could think further Yamamoto waved his Sword. His sword seemed to have transversed the distance between them in an instance, before Ryu could react Yamamoto's Sword was already Infront of him.

' Sh*t, he cut space!! '

Quickly Ryu used Glacier Domain and shielded his body before teleporting away. His figure appeared miles away from Yamamoto.

Yamamoto " Good reaction speed."

Ryu chuckled " Not fast enough."

He raised his right arm, a slight wound now appeared on his arm. The sheer strength contained within Yamamoto's Sword destroyed the space around it. When he attacked Ryu, his Sword cut apart space reaching Ryu in a split second, if not for his amazing speed Ryu would be seriously wounded now.

Shunsui and the other Captains felt their body dry up, only now did most of them understood how terrifyingly strong their Head Captain is.

Jushiro' throat was dry " To have made Head Captain release his Bankai..... just how strong is he? "

Toshiro acknowledged " But it's over now, noone was able to make the Head Captain use his Bankai for over two thousand years."

Shunsui shook his head " You are wrong, Yama old man may have met his match today."

" Huh? "

Everyone was confused, Shunsui explained " That Ryu guy..... he hasn't even released his Shikai yet."

" WHAT!!!??? "

Toshiro was scared " Then.... then what was that flame domain? "

Shunsui shook his head " Don't know but I know for a fact that he hasn't released his Shikai and yet.... he can avoid Old man Yama in his Bankai."

Everyone understood what those words implied, even if all Captain's died as long as that man is alive then Soul society will be safe. This is not blind faith in their Captain but a fact, a fact they have known through his power.

This man before them is the pillar of Soul society, the strongest card they have, the man with the oldest and strongest Zanpakuto, the one who build Gotei 13 from the blood and bones of his enemies

Genryusai Yamamoto!!

Madara, Zoro and Law watching from a distance was also astonished when they saw Yamamoto's strength.

Zoro probed " Hey Madara, if you fought with him, who would win? "

Madara went silent before saying " If I use my Bankai then yes I can beat him but I won't feel any better after that battle."

Zoro nodded, that was to be expected. Both him and Law clenched their fists, they were the weakest among Titans but this didn't get them down instead it made them even more excited.

Ryu stood Infront of Yamamoto, the sheer amount of heat from his Sword was even affecting him.

' It seems there is no other choice, Navii release the eighth seal.'

Navii " Yes, master."

In an instant his powers increased tremendously but it wasn't enough.

He raised his sword and uttered

" Everything was born from Chaos, as shall everything return to it...

Heavens will rise and fall, Stars are born and as shall they perish...

Only Chaos remains....

Awaken....

Myriad Creator! "

The entire world was covered in darkness, Ryu Sword changed. It got darker with engravings all over it, creation and destruction depicted upon his Sword. A single Sword represented the origin of all.

Yamamoto's eyebrow furrowed, he feel a suffocating pressure emanate off of Ryu. His Riatsu blazed as he held his Sword

" Zanka No Tachi, east.... Kyoku Jitsujin."

He swung his blade at Ryu.

Clanggggg!!!

Unlike what Yamamoto expected, Ryu's sword didn't break. Both of them stood with their Swords against each other, Ryu's eyes churned as he focused on Yamamoto.

In an instant Ryu's body released tremendous amount of flames but the next second they vanished. Yamamoto's body jerked when he saw this but he was surprised even further when he saw Ryu's sword.

His Sword gave of smoke from its blade, Ryu smiled and said

" Zanka No Tachi, East.... Kyoku Jitsujin! "

Yamamoto was amazed " Your Zanpakuto can replicate others powers? Quite amazing."

Ryu " Thanks. Let's finish this in the next three moves, otherwise I am afraid this world will be destroyed."

Yamamoto " True."

The sheer power emitted by Zanka No Tachi is so great that everything around them was slowly starting to burn away. After all Zanka No Tachi harness the power of the very Sun itself.

Yamamoto held his sword and uttered, Ryu completely mimicked his actions...

" Zanka No Tachi, West..... Zanjitsu Gokui!! "

" Zanka No Tachi, West..... Zanjitsu Gokui!! "

Their bodies got engulfed in flames, these flames possessed a temperature of fifteen million degrees, it possessed the power of a Heavenly star. These flames brought their defence upto another level.

Both of them held their Swords and attacked, when their swords collided the entire world seemed to vibrate as if it would perish anytime. The ground beneath them was gone, only to be replaced by a gigantic hole with no bottom.

Their bodies moved so fast that very few people could track them. Yamamoto slightly changed his sword direction and cut at Ryu's throat.

Both of them didn't hold back and went for the kill. Ryu's eyes followed Yamamoto, his Sword hummed as he struck it a across Yamamoto.

Booommmm.

Both of them retreated from that clash. If anyone looked closely they would spot their clothes burned at certain spots.

Ryu " Guess that's a draw."

Yamamoto " It seems so. Its time to finish this."

He put his sword before him

" Zanka No Tachi.... Tenchi Kaijin! "

Yamamoto swung his sword at Ryu, a terrifying pressure seemed to have pressed against Ryu's body. He didn't hesitate and did the same as Yamamoto. His sword was swung forcefully at Yamamoto's figure.

BAAAAANNNNNGGGGGG!!!!!

An intent to destroy the world erupted between them. Everything within a hundred mile radius disappeared, not even ashes remained. They were wiped off from existence, most Captains needed to release their Shikai to even withstand the aftershocks.

The flames surrounding both Yamamoto and Ryu's body disappeared. Yamamoto sealed his sword again, his eyes showed a different expression, his right hand holding his sword was charred, he looked at Ryu and said

" You win, young one."
