Chapter 897 - Yamamoto vs Yhwach

"Finally, after thousands of years, we can end our hatred for each other," Yhwach took his sword and said.

"Are you ready to annihilate? It thIs time I'm not going to hold back." Yamamoto asks.

"Annihilate? That's not going to happen."

"Bankai"

"Zanka no Tachi"

His Bankai blade takes the form of an ancient and worn katana, severely scorched by fire; it looks pretty worn out but still full of power.

"Still ugly as you Yamamoto, your Bankai never change even right now." Yhwach said.

"The Zanka No Tachi is a Bankai that incorporates in this little blade all the flower on the flame is concentrated into it as you know, the image is not important, what is important is how useful it is."

"Your right, your Bankai can burn anything in one cut, it's a sword with a tremendous flame compressed inside," Yhwach said.

"Indeed, you have already seen this for me after all, and at the same time, I will lend you as I did back then."

"Will it be the same? Yamamoto?"

"You can try this on your own body to check whether it's the same as 1000 years ago or not."

Switch

Yamamoto tried to cut in at a fast speed horizontally but Yhwach back stepped after sensing his movement. He tried to read his movement to see if he could count but he realized something.

'Why doesn't his blade produce any flame? What did he do?'

'How come? Did the Bankai really change compared to 100 years ago?'

'But no Bankai has a Shikai and a Bankai that uses different abilities?'

'The power of this Bankai is fire, there's no mistake about it, in this case… where did the flame go?'

"Where are you looking?" Yamamoto suddenly grabs his neck and stabs his head with his Banka, but Yhwach easily dodges it.

Every stab is like rainwater, it's fast in a small movement, he never lets his hand on his neck while trying to squeeze it to choke him.

Yamamoto then smash him on a cliff and then stab his stomach again, with the special movement ability of Quincy, Yhwach disappears.

And then, the cliff disappears in a blink in the eye, it disappears just from my casual poke of Yamamoto.

"I got it now, so all the firepower of your Znapakuto is in the endpoint of your Bankai," Yhwach said.

"Zanka no Tachi, Higashi: Kyokujitsujin, this ability concentrates the intense flames of the sword along the tip of the blade. It neither burns nor erupts, but anything it touches is eradicated to nothingness."

"In other words, I just have to cut you without touching that sword!"

Yamamoto tries to cut him vertically this time, but Yhwach tries to fight back and wave his sword to parry his attack.

Clang!

"You're too overconfident, listen to what people say, i just said, Zankai no Tachi East, east means that there's a west too, i guess that i will make it visible to your eyes."

"Zanka no Tachi, Nishi: Zanjitsu Gokui"

Yammoto engulfs his body in heat which reaches a temperature upwards of 15,000,000 degrees. Therefore, it becomes impossible to even touch him while he is using his Bankai.

The level of heat produced by this technique is so high, it would not actually appear in the form of flames.

"Its heat reaches 1,500,000 degrees, you cannot even touch me when I'm using my Bankai, it's as if my body and sword are clad in the sun's flames."

"You really got change, maybe it's the end of this play," Yhwach tosses the broken sword away, he finally sees all his power, it's time to fight him seriously.

With a simple, horizontal cutting motion directed at the sky, Yhwach manifests an enormous bow in the air above himself, which in turn fires an arrow back towards the ground in front of him.

The length of this arrow is comparable to Yhwach's own height and, by gripping it near the base of the shaft, he can wield it in a manner similar to a large broadsword.

Two protrusions jutting out diagonally on either side form the sword's cross-guard which, alongside the handle, form a shape reminiscent of the Wandenreich insignia.

"Reishi made a sword? That's good," Yamamoto said.

"That's right, and I think it's time to open my eyes to fight you."

"The Almighty"

Yhwach activates The Almighty, his irises and pupils split in two.

Yamamoto suddenly looked serious, this time not playing around, the vibe and the power he showed is on another level that he never felt before.

Even fighting him 1000 years ago is different compared to today, it's like surging ocean waves, it's unstable and powerful.

"I can't control it last time we fight, that's why i choose to sleep for more than thousand years, but because of that, i finally master my power, and this time, it's different,"

"Let's try."

"Zanka no Tachi, Kita: Tenchi Kaijin"

Yamamoto attacks him using the most powerful attack that he can master, using all the heat on his blade he cuts.

Crack~!

He is surprised to see Ryūjin Jakka suddenly break into two, he looks at Yhwach's hand that is holding the other half.

"What did you do?"

"I just casually change the future."
