Steve Chapter 227

"In any case, let's meet again in the future."

Aizen didn't seem to care. He smiled, turned around, and walked into the darkness.

After he left, the focus of all the captains present shifted to Fang Mo.

Especially Head Captain Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, who had just been thoroughly enraged by Aizen. He looked around and saw the surrounding area covered in thorns, his anger escalating, clearly on the verge of losing control.

"If you want to fight, then fight. Stop sulking, okay?"

Fang Mo kindly advised, "You're not getting any younger. Wouldn't it be troublesome if you were to have a stroke or heart disease? It would be better to have a quick death on the battlefield fighting me."

"You… Ryoka…"

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni stared intently at Fang Mo: "You and Aizen are equally unforgivable. I will kill you here today."

"Are you sure?"

Upon hearing Yamamoto's words, Fang Mo also smiled: "What if you can't kill me? Then from now on, you'll change your name to Yamamoto Genryusai 'Light Country', how about that?"

"Burn it all down!"

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni didn't want to say another word to Fang Mo and immediately unleashed his power.

A huge fireball, the size of a building, flew out and engulfed Fang Mo in an instant, apparently intending to temporarily control him.

In the original story, Yamamoto had used this ability to trap Aizen and his party.

After trapping Fang Mo, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni raised his hand as if preparing for something. His spiritual pressure was steadily rising, and the temperature around him was increasing to the point where even steel started to melt uncontrollably.

But before he could release any skill,

Fang Mo poked his head out from the fireball, "Are you up for it or not, old man? You can't even burn people properly, and you call yourself the Head Captain?"

"What!?"

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was stunned upon seeing this. His attack was not an ordinary one; to escape, one had to withstand the flames of his Zanpakuto, which were as hot as the sun's surface. How did this guy come out unscathed?

Before Yamamoto could figure it out, several figures rushed towards Fang Mo.

These people were Unohana Retsu, Zaraki Kenpachi, Mayuri Kurotsuchi, and Yoruichi Shihouin.

Now, to fight with the Head Captain, Fang Mo had already put away his Snow Queen Ender Sword and was holding his reforged Laevatein. With just a single swipe, the flames surged like a tsunami, easily repelling the others.

"Fang Mo, stop fighting! These captains are our own people!"

Yoruichi Shihouin was forced back by flames and couldn't help but shout at him at this moment.

"Our own people?"

Fang Mo smiled and counter-asked, "Are you sure? You and Urahara Kisuke were driven to the human world by these 'Own People.'"

"That was all Aizen's scheme."

Yoruichi Shihouin couldn't help but say, "They now know the truth; continuing to fight is meaningless..."

"It's meaningful, very damn meaningful."

Fang Mo burst into laughter, "These guys came at me from the start. We've already fought to a point of true sentiment. If I stop now, believe it or not, these captains will be the first to disagree."

"Exactly!"

Kenpachi Zaraki burst into laughter after hearing this, "Today, nobody can stop me from fighting with this Ryoka!"

"..."

Yoruichi Shihouin felt a headache coming on after listening.

"Mutual combat?"

Unohana Retsu glanced at Fang Mo, hesitated for a moment, and then tentatively said, "I don't mind this, but can we change locations? Here we can't use our real strength, and I assume you wouldn't want to defeat us like this, right?"

"Oh? Do you have a dance practice room here too?"

Fang Mo asked.

"What?"

Unohana Retsu was also stunned, not understanding what Fang Mo was talking about. But the next second she turned her head to look at Mayuri Kurotsuchi: "Captain Mayuri, is there any way to send us somewhere else?"

"..."

Mayuri Kurotsuchi didn't speak but directly took out a strange device from his pocket.

"This technology isn't mature yet and carries the risk of destroying souls, even for captain-level beings," he spoke only after taking out the device. "But for transporting you bunch of monsters, it should be fine..."

With that, he directly activated the spherical device.

Then, a large amount of light directly enveloped the people present. When the light dimmed, the surroundings had turned into a wasteland.

Fang Mo looked around and found that the Head Captain, Kenpachi Zaraki, Yoruichi, and Unohana Retsu were all there.

But Mayuri Kurotsuchi was nowhere to be found.

However, there was no time to think too much, as Kenpachi Zaraki had already charged over. He held his sword with both hands and swung it at Fang Mo while laughing maniacally.

Retsu Unohana also started attacking Fang Mo at the same time.

It's worth mentioning that her appearance and aura had completely changed. Initially, she looked like a gentle and kind older woman with thick braided hair. Now, her hair was unbound, flowing like a waterfall. Coupled with her black combat outfit, she gave off an inexplicably terrifying vibe.

Fang Mo effortlessly fended off their combined assault, holding his sword, Laevatein, with one hand.

The sword he had crafted was incredibly effective. With the speed of the redstone and the efficiency of the original enchantment, the giant sword felt extremely comfortable in his hands. Normally, swinging such a heavy, door-like sword would be strenuous, but Fang Mo felt as if the weapon was an extension of his own body, a perfect unity of man and sword.

Even as Retsu Unohana and Kenpachi Zaraki intensified their attacks, they couldn't break through Fang Mo's blade.

He merely activated some of the power of Surtur within the sword, and the resulting heatwave forced them back, severely damaging their Zanpakuto in the process.

The sword was simply too sharp, its edge enhanced by both craftsmanship and enchantments, capable of cutting through anything.

"If you get too close to the sun," he said, watching the two captains, whose hair had curled from the heat, "you'll be burnt to ashes."

In terms of appearance, Fang Mo now resembled Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto. His sword, Laevatein, had turned into a weapon similar to Ryūjin Jakka, engulfed in flames, but evidently larger and more ferocious. The flames spewing from him painted half the sky orange-red.

Just then, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto finally activated his ability, shouting, "Inferno!"

The ground shook, and dozens of massive pillars of fire shot up into the sky, each hundreds of meters in diameter, enclosing them like a massive cage.

"Oh?"

Seeing Yamamoto get serious, Fang Mo also became serious. He teleported behind Retsu Unohana and pierced her with his sword, instantly defeating her. Then, he pivoted and punched, a black spherical force field covering his fist. At the same moment Kenpachi Zaraki slashed at his neck, he blasted a hole through Zaraki's stomach.

In an instant, he had defeated the last two captains. Yoruichi Shihouin frowned but left without engaging Fang Mo.

"Now that the small fry are dealt with, let's not beat around the bush," said Fang Mo, looking at Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto. "Use your Bankai. You don't plan to defeat me with just Shikai, do you?"

"Are you teaching me how to do my job?" Yamamoto retorted coldly. "This one move is enough to blast you to pieces!"

"After this battle is over, you should have Ichigo Kurosaki go to the human world and buy you some brain supplements," Fang Mo said, touching his forehead. "Your brain really isn't that good. Don't get dementia or something; life would be really miserable..."

"Inferno!"

Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni didn't speak, directly manipulating the pillars of fire around him.

Upon seeing this, Fang Mo also had no choice but to swing his Laevatein.

"Infernal Hell!"

The power of the fire giant Surtur burst forth, and in an instant, dozens more pillars of fire rose from the ground. Although there was no fluctuation of Reishi, their power was absolutely not weaker than what Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni had unleashed.

"...What?"

Seeing this, Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni immediately furrowed his brows, but he quickly realized what was happening and subconsciously looked at the giant sword in Fang Mo's hand.

As the Head Captain of the Gotei 13, Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni didn't understand any MC rules, nor did he know who Surtur was. He was now somewhat suspecting that Fang Mo had the means to copy Zanpakutō abilities.

He had also seen the Snow Queen Ender Sword before, which looked a lot like Hitsugaya Toshiro's Hyōrinmaru. But now Fang Mo had another sword of flames, which was obviously his own ability. He suspected that the opponent could copy Zanpakutō abilities, which could also explain why the opponent could unleash his unique skill, "Infernal Hell."

"Do you think that by copying my abilities... you can defeat me?"

After figuring this out, Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni snorted coldly, and then, with a flash step, appeared in front of Fang Mo: "I already know your strength, but I... have many more tricks up my sleeve!"

"Oh?"

Fang Mo raised Laevatein and easily blocked the opponent's Ryūjin Jakka: "Have you... seen all of my strength?"

Two fire-attributed weapons collided, causing a violent explosion. The entire ground instantly turned into a chasm, but at the same moment, a layer of golden-red energy flames also ignited on Fang Mo's body.

This was not the power of the demonic sword Laevatein.

It was the chakra cloak of the Tailed Beasts.

Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni felt a hard-to-resist force coming from his Zanpakutō, and his entire person involuntarily flew out. However, Fang Mo then instantly appeared above him, his fist covered in a spherical force field, and without saying anything, smashed it down toward his head.

"Bankai, Zanka no Tachi!"

Feeling threatened, Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni also had no choice but to activate his Bankai: "Zanka no Tachi West! Zanjitsu Gokui!"

The moment his abilities were activated, a layer of golden-white flames covered Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni's body. These flames were converted from highly concentrated Reiatsu, with a temperature reaching 15 million degrees. The gravitational turbulence covering Fang Mo's fist was affected by this, reducing its power.

"Hmm?"

Fang Mo also frowned upon seeing this.

He also didn't understand the scientific principles behind these abilities. Was it some kind of interference to the force field caused by highly compressed Reishi?

However, it was just a moment of hesitation, and Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni had already counterattacked. The katana in his hand turned black and dry, but it emitted a tremendous threat.

"Zanka no Tachi East, Kyōkujitsuken!"

Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni let out a low shout, slashing his sword at Fang Mo like lightning.

Interested in testing the other party's attack strength, Fang Mo didn't dodge, but directly raised his arm to block it.

As a result, the power of the Remnant Flame Blade was beyond reason; Fang Mo's arm couldn't block it and was immediately severed. Steve also instantly lost four hearts.

"What the—!?"

Fang Mo was also taken aback.

He currently had a fire immunity effect. Theoretically, a flame-like blade should not harm him. Yet his arm was cut off, so did the attack from the Rising Sun Blade not count as fire damage?

"Utter foolishness."

Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni saw this and sneered, "You think my blade is no threat without fire?"

Saying this, he swung his sword at Fang Mo again.

"Damn!"

Fang Mo cursed and quickly used Laevatein to block the attack. "Hold on, let me pick up some equipment first..."

However, Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni didn't care at all. After releasing his Bankai, he wanted to finish off Fang Mo as quickly as possible, given the irreversible effects it would have on the Soul Society. His Zanpakuto swung rapidly, attacking Fang Mo from various tricky angles.

"How dare you attack a disabled person!?"

Fang Mo saw this and was obviously a little angry.

However, before he could unleash his big move, a flash of white light blinked, and the severed half of Fang Mo's left arm grew back.

"What!?"

Both Fang Mo and Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni were stunned.

Yamamoto was stunned by Fang Mo's regenerative abilities, his arm growing back in a matter of seconds was indeed a bit exaggerated.

As for Fang Mo himself.

He was completely stunned because of the ring on his hand.

Yes, when Fang Mo said he was picking up equipment, he wasn't lying. He had put on the Crimson Ring on his left hand, which had just been severed.

But the strange thing was...

When Fang Mo's arm grew back, the Crimson Ring was still on his hand.

Seeing this, Fang Mo was obviously stunned, but he quickly realized that he was now a data body. With such a body, like Steve, no matter how many times he gets attacked, as long as he's not dead, the ring would absolutely not fall off.

This is just a setting in the MC (Minecraft) world.

In other games, like DNF (Dungeon & Fighter), for example, I've never heard that when the Emperor Blood Tyrant dies, his earrings, rings, bracelets, etc., all fall to the ground. If equipment really dropped like that, could you even continue to play?

"Damn, is a digital body really that awesome?"

After realizing this, Fang Mo couldn't help but mutter to himself.

However, unlike Fang Mo's delight, Head Captain Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni is not of the same mind. He is getting a bit impatient; it can't be helped, as he's already quite old. Although his combat power is still off the charts, his stamina will soon be unable to keep up if the fight continues.

Thinking this, the spiritual pressure around Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni began to rise once again.

"Since you can regenerate, then next time I'll cleave you vertically."

Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni took a deep breath, then prepared to unleash his ultimate technique: "Zanka no Tachi, North..."

"You're going for your ultimate move?"

Fang Mo glanced at him and also slowly lifted the greatsword in his hand: "Fine, then I won't play house with you either."

As soon as the words were spoken, the Ring of Arcana lit up with a bright light. Instantly, the greatsword in Fang Mo's hand trembled, as if one could faintly hear the roar of Surtur within. The flames on the sword began to compress, like the Zanka no Tachi, changing from red to orange, and then to golden.

Finally, a greatsword with no flames, as white as if burnt out, appeared in Fang Mo's hands.

"After all this fuss, it's about time for me to go back."

Fang Mo looked at Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni in front of him and spoke with a smile: "I'll save Aizen and the Hogyoku for next time. This time... I'll finish you off first."

As soon as the words were spoken, both rushed towards each other at the same time.

The blades of pure white and burnt black collided, making no sound, yet everything turned to dust in the silence.
