A golden light, capable of melting everything, instantly erupted from Apollo's hands. Shihōin Chika moved swiftly, avoiding the terrifying sunlight's attack in a flash.
Buildings hit by the golden light instantly melted.
"Do you see? This is the power the Sun God bestowed upon me!" Apollo said very happily.
Shihōin Chika muttered under his breath: "I understand your gratitude towards the sun, but why do you give your techniques such chuunibyou names? Heaven's Tyrant Blazing Sun Wave? Just reading it out loud makes the cringe factor explode! How do you manage to openly shout that name?"
Criticism aside, the power of this move was indeed very strong!
Several Shinigami who couldn't dodge in time were directly burned to ashes by this move, not even bones remaining.
"However, in the end, this is still just a long-range attack method! It doesn't change the fact that I have the advantage." Shihōin Chika rapidly maneuvered his body, constantly dodging the bombardment of golden sunlight. This was simply a super-large AOE bombing skill; sending you as an assassin is truly a waste of talent.
Suddenly, Shihōin Chika accidentally stepped on a fallen comrade's body, and his footwork slowed by half a beat.
"Now's the time! Heaven's Tyrant Blazing Sun Wave!" Apollo spread his arms, and the golden light instantly pierced through Shihōin Chika's chest. Shihōin Chika should have been instantly incinerated by the extremely high temperature.
Apollo saw that his formidable enemy had been killed, took off his hat, and bowed slightly towards the direction of Shihōin Chika's demise: "You were a worthy opponent. I will always remember you."
"Being remembered by you isn't a good thing!" Shihōin Chika's very irritating voice sounded from the side. Apollo quickly turned his head, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes. He was very confident in his abilities; how could someone survive being hit head-on by his power?
As soon as he turned around, his face was heavily punched, sending him tumbling dozens of meters away!
Shihōin Chika stood in place, chuckling, watching him. Just now, he had used the Empty Zen Step to create afterimages in place, which tricked Apollo's eyes and created this opportunity for a sneak attack.
Apollo activated Blut Vene Anhaben at the last moment, greatly increasing his defense. Although the punch directly broke his nose bridge, and blood gushed uncontrollably from his nose, overall, there was no major problem.
"A created illusion? I underestimated you!" Apollo clutched his nose, panting heavily.
"Your ability to control sunlight is indeed very powerful, I admit that, but in the end, it's just a long-range ability. If this is your trump card, you're dead." Shihōin Chika said with a chuckle.
Apollo's eyes became terrifying. He wiped his nosebleed with his sleeve: "If you really think so, then come over. I'll show you my true power!"
Shihōin Chika lightly tapped his foot, his body moving like lightning, and threw a punch directly at Apollo. He had already used Shunko for this punch. Judging by Apollo's previous performance, he absolutely couldn't block this punch.
However, Apollo's entire body began to emit golden light, and then all the golden light condensed on his wrist, striking down with a merciless punch at Shihōin Chika.
Although Shihōin Chika's fist was enveloped by Kido and spiritual pressure, he still felt an unbearable scorching heat emanating from his arm. He quickly retreated and looked down at his fist, finding that the back of his hand was already blistered from the heat.
"Instantly condensing excess power into a single point… Such terrifying control!" Shihōin Chika hadn't expected the opponent's reaction speed to be so fast.
"What kind of ability one gains is fate. But I believe that no matter what kind of ability, as long as one persists in training and developing it, it will surely become a powerful force. Shinigami, you are truly too arrogant. Your arrogance will kill you." Apollo said: "I know you Shinigami have the power of Zanpakuto. Aren't you going to release your Zanpakuto? Your strength would also increase then, wouldn't it?"
Shihōin Chika's expression instantly stiffened.
Of course, he had a Zanpakuto, and he had already trained it to Bankai.
But unless it was absolutely necessary, he really didn't want to use his Zanpakuto's ability. If others saw it, they would definitely laugh their heads off.
"Shinigami, you now know how big the power gap between you and me is, right? Use all your strength! Don't die with regrets!" Apollo seemed to have truly transformed into the sun god, looking down on everything.
"This is hopeless. I have to use such an embarrassing ability." Shihōin Chika said with a helpless expression, drawing a short blade from his waist.
Apollo watched Shihōin Chika warily.
A Shinigami who has released their Zanpakuto and one who hasn't are not on the same level at all.
Shihōin Chika tapped his toes, taking off his shoes.
"Stop being lazy, Nora Neko!" Shihōin Chika whispered. The blade in his hand actually turned into a wisp of dust and entered his body.
The next second, Shihōin Chika's body underwent a tremendous change.
Fur grew on the back of his hands, making them adorably fluffy, and his fingers also turned into sharp claws.
His feet transformed into cat hind paws.
Most importantly, a pair of cat ears actually grew on top of his head!!!
This was too cute!
Pick up a cat, folks!
Apollo also didn't expect Shihōin Chika's transformation after releasing his Zanpakuto to be so great, turning directly from a human into a strange half-human, half-cat creature.
The crucial thing was that those ears actually moved!
Can I temporarily call a truce and go pet them?
Apollo usually loved kittens!
Unfortunately, because he lived in Hueco Mundo for a long time, he didn't have the opportunity to raise cats.
So when he saw Shihōin Chika turn into a large cat, he burst out laughing.
"Don't laugh!!!!!" The usually calm and composed Shihōin Chika looked like he had exploded.
The reason he didn't use his Zanpakuto's ability in front of his comrades was precisely because of this.
If other Captain saw it, he would definitely be laughed to death!
Not only that, the Bankai ability was even more outrageous.
"I'll make you laugh!" Shihōin Chika instantly vanished from his spot. Apollo couldn't laugh anymore, because he found that the opponent's speed had surpassed his sensory nerves.
"Behind me?" Apollo quickly turned, but he hit nothing. Shihōin Chika rushed from the side at an extremely tricky angle, and his sharp cat claws, like daggers, pierced into Apollo's ribs.
Apollo swore he would never say cats were cute again!
This was too terrifying!
