Bleach: Soul Society Domination Through Check-ins

Meanwhile, back on Suì Fēng's side.

After Shigure left, she immediately engaged the surrounding Hollows in battle.

It only took her one use of the Lightning Sealing Device to realize just how overwhelmingly powerful it was.

In less than ten breaths, all the nearby Hollows had been annihilated.

Exhaling softly, Suì Fēng raised her hand and stared at the Lightning Sealing Device in her palm, her gaze flickering with thought.

"Even after unleashing such a massive thunderstorm, the spiritual pressure here hasn't diminished at all..."

As she marveled at its power, a terrifying Hollow spiritual pressure suddenly erupted.

Suì Fēng instantly turned toward the source, her expression sharpening.

The moment she focused on it, her pupils contracted.

This was... a massive conglomeration of Hollow spiritual pressures!

And they were all converging on one location.

That location... was none other than the depths of the Land of Dead Mist, where Shigure had just headed!

Her breathing hitched as she gritted her teeth and immediately used Shunpo to rush toward that direction.

The sheer density of these combined Hollow spiritual pressures... had completely exceeded her expectations!

Her face hardened with resolve.

The intelligence provided by Shinichi Kasahara of the Near Abyss Squad to the Seireitei was wrong!

The number of Hollows was far greater than just a few dozen!

Elsewhere, the combat unit led by the Eleventh Division, along with members of the medical and purification teams, had finally reached the outskirts of the Land of Dead Mist.

Standing before them was a line of members from the Stealth Force.

Seeing this scene, Ikkaku Madarame asked, "So, what's the situation here?"

The leading member quickly replied, "Captain Suì Fēng's spiritual pressure has reappeared. I immediately gathered the team and waited for Captain Zaraki's unit to arrive so we could provide support!"

Hearing this, Kenpachi Zaraki tilted his head back and sneered.

"Tch, who said we're here to back her up?"

The Stealth Force member froze. "Uh... I just assumed..."

He had only said that to rally morale. After all, the Eleventh Division was undoubtedly the main force for battling Hollows.

But he hadn't expected Kenpachi Zaraki to be so dismissive, even in this situation.

At that moment, a sudden change occurred.

From deep within the Land of Dead Mist, a terrifying surge of chaotic Hollow spiritual pressure erupted.

The twisted sensation it carried caused many team members' faces to pale.

Even the fierce warriors of the Eleventh Division couldn't help but feel momentarily intimidated by the overwhelming pressure.

"What's going on... Is that Hollow spiritual pressure?"

"I-I can't wrap my head around it... Why is it so dense?!"

"Just how many Hollows are there this time?!"

Many felt a chill run down their spines. This far exceeded their initial expectations.

Initially, they had assumed the Hollows were scattered and could be taken down one by one.

But now, it was clear—they had all gathered together.

Yet, as everyone else was overwhelmed by fear, Kenpachi Zaraki suddenly grinned widely.

His eyes gleamed with excitement and battle lust.

"Hahahaha!! Now this is fun!!"

With that, he took large strides toward the source of the spiritual pressure.

On his shoulder, Yachiru Kusajishi turned back and waved cheerfully. "Everyone, follow Kenny!"

Hearing her words, the medical and purification teams felt their scalps tingle.

But the Eleventh Division members could only grit their teeth and respond, "Yes!!"

As members of the Eleventh Division, they might feel fear, but retreat was never an option!

"Tsk tsk... There are slightly more than I expected."

Standing amidst the continuous storm of spiritual pressure, Shigure muttered to himself.

The thick white mist in this area had been completely dispersed by the combined spiritual pressure of the Hollows.

"Rooooar!!!"

"Awooooo!!!"

With various roars, countless Hollows charged toward him.

On the ground, Mitsuhashi's face twisted into a crazed expression.

This was the first time he had used Styx to create such a powerful "spiritual bait."

It had even drawn out numerous Hollows lurking in the depths of the Land of Dead Mist.

But this was exactly what he wanted!

However, Shigure remained utterly indifferent to the situation around him.

Raising his hand, a floating blue spiritual energy hovered in his palm.

A faint smirk appeared on his lips.

"Since that time... I haven't had a proper chance to unleash my spiritual pressure..."

Back when he had checked in at North Rukongai, he had tested his spiritual pressure by fully releasing it once.

That single release had evaporated nearby wandering souls and caused the ground to collapse.

In the Seireitei, such a level of power was strictly prohibited.

Thus, for the past twenty-something days, he hadn't unleashed it again.

But now, this was the perfect opportunity.

Extending his hand outward, Shigure prepared himself.

Last time, he had released his spiritual pressure diffusely, and its power was already immense.

However, after days of practice, he had discovered a technique to compress his spiritual energy, increasing its density and intensity upon release.

This charging technique required extremely refined control over spiritual energy, allowing the spiritual pressure to reach unprecedented levels of concentration and strength at the moment of release.

The moment he began compressing his energy, Mitsuhashi and Nakai, lying on the ground, froze completely.

They suddenly felt the immense pressure on their bodies vanish.

The suffocating force that had been crushing them moments ago was gone.

Not only that—despite Shigure standing right in front of them, they couldn't sense even a trace of his spiritual pressure.

Their bodies stiffened as they looked up at Shigure, seeing the blue energy floating in his hand.

He wasn't suppressing his spiritual pressure.

On the contrary, they could clearly see that he was preparing to release it.

But... why couldn't they sense it?

As the two of them stared at him, Shigure remained calm and composed.

Moments later, the compression reached its peak.

"About three times the usual power... I wonder how effective this will be," Shigure murmured, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Then, with a serene expression, he opened his palm.

In that instant, an invisible wave of Crushing Spiritual Pressure erupted outward.

All the chaos vanished in an instant.

The roars of the Hollows, the howling winds—everything fell silent.

The Crushing Spiritual Pressure seemed to freeze time itself.

And then, the deafening sound of explosions erupted in succession!

BOOM!!!

The combined spiritual pressure of the hundreds of Hollows was instantly obliterated by Shigure's Crushing Spiritual Pressure!

Within a hundred-meter radius, all the thick mist was cleared in an instant!

Every inch of ground, except for where Shigure stood, collapsed downward simultaneously!

As for Mitsuhashi and Nakai, who were closest to him, their souls were crushed instantly.

In the final moments before losing consciousness, they finally understood why they couldn't sense Shigure's spiritual pressure.

Because... this was a gap between dimensions.
