Thanks to Apollo instantly activating Blut Vene Anhaben, although the claws made him bleed a lot, he didn't die from it.
He could only use Hirenkyaku to quickly retreat.
Just as Shihōin Chika was about to give chase, he suddenly found his cat ears being rubbed by a pair of hands.
Shihōin Chika turned back, speechless, and saw Katoribatsuyunsai seriously rubbing his ears.
"These ears are actually real! This is too amazing! No wonder you never used your Zanpakuto's ability in front of us. Of course, I personally don't like cats." Although Katoribatsuyunsai's mouth denied it, her hands were anything but honest, rubbing Shihōin Chika's cat ears without stopping.
"That's enough! We're still in a war! Don't you have your own enemy? Hurry and get back to the battlefield!" Shihōin Chika was so angry he was practically bristling.
Katoribatsuyunsai's enemy was a soft, fleshy-looking Little girl, who raised her hand and asked, "Can I also rub your ears later? They look so cute! Don't worry, I won't hurt you."
What kind of outrageous things are these? We're currently enemies, don't you have any sense of propriety?
Speaking of which, are girls' thought processes always this bizarre?
Apollo coughed twice: "Leila, we are currently enemies. After I defeat this enemy, I'll capture him alive. Then you can rub his ears however you want."
Shihōin Chika wore a gritted-teeth smile. "What do you guys take me for? I'd rather be beaten to death than use Shikai! I, the dignified Shihōin Clan leader and Captain of the Second Division, am being treated like a mascot by these people? This is intolerable!"
Shihōin Chika pushed off with her feet and rushed forward at a speed that was completely incomprehensible to ordinary people. Apollo hurriedly used her Holy Text ability, which immediately shone brightly!
The instant his fist struck Shihōin Chika, Shihōin Chika vanished right before his eyes.
Apollo could vaguely sense the other's spiritual pressure appearing behind him. He turned around as fast as he could, but as soon as he turned around, Shihōin Chika once again entered his blind spot.
Apollo then realized that Shihōin Chika's use of Shikai not only improved his speed, but also significantly enhanced his reaction time.
It is well known that cats react seven times faster than humans.
After Shihōin Chika transforms into a cat-person, the biggest improvement is in her reaction time rather than her speed.
Especially on the battlefield where life and death are at stake, even being half a second faster than the opponent can give you a huge advantage. And now, Shihōin Chika's reaction speed is seven times faster than the opponent's.
Apollo instantly went into a passive state. In order to launch an effective attack on Shihōin Chika, it had to concentrate the scorching sunlight in one place. However, Shihōin Chika's reaction speed was too fast. It avoided the enemy's sharp edge and directly attacked the enemy's weakness.
Plus Shihōin Chika The Captain-level strength and spiritual pressure were so overwhelming that the opponent could hardly breathe.
Apollo was caught off guard when Shihōin Chika's claw pierced through his thigh, causing blood to gush out.
"Laila, stop standing there like an idiot and come help! I can't beat him!" Apollo said helplessly.
Each of the captains of Gotei 13 is extremely powerful. Unless the members of Sternritter awaken some strange ability, they are simply no match for the captains.
Leila was a cute little girl, about fourteen or fifteen years old, with chubby cheeks. She hopped and skipped over to me.
However, before they even reached the destination, a large axe came crashing down from mid-air, scaring the little girl so much that her hair stood on end.
This giant axe is none other than Setsu Getsu Maru, Katoribatsuyunsai's Shikai ability.
"Your opponent is me, so don't be half-hearted!" Katoribatsuyunsai said coldly.
Leila took a deep breath. Just as Katoribatsuyunsai was about to rush over and kill the little girl, Leila suddenly exhaled a cloud of black smoke.
Katoribatsuyunsai, unaware of his opponent's abilities, hastily retreated, fearing the smoke might be poisonous.
The Quincy soldiers nearby saw Lyra exhale black smoke and, terrified, abandoned the Shinigami who were engaged in battle and hurriedly left the battlefield. Katoribatsuyunsai looked grave. At that moment, a Shinigami accidentally inhaled a puff of black smoke. Suddenly, his face turned ashen, and he clutched his neck tightly with both hands, dying in excruciating pain within just two or three seconds.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Laila, a member of Sternritter. My syllabary is O." Laila smiled at Katoribatsuyunsai, then said with an envious tone, "Wow, you have such big breasts. If you lose, I won't kill you. I'll keep you in my room."
"…You must be a girl, right?" Katoribatsuyunsai looked at the little girl in front of him. Although she was still young and not fully developed, he could tell from her slightly protruding chest that she was indeed a girl.
Layla blushed slightly and said, "But shouldn't girls like other girls?"
"Huh???" Katoribatsuyunsai tilted his head, surprised that Quincy's roster had so many talented people.
Lyra's ability is called "Death Breath," which allows her to exhale a black aura of death. Anyone who accidentally inhales even a single breath will experience rapid organ failure and death.
" Shihōin, watch out, a wide-area attack is coming!" Katoribatsuyunsai warned Shihōin Chika beside him.
At this moment, Apollo also came to Lyra's side. Lyra handed her a small blue pill. Instead of eating the pill, Lyra took a deep breath and then exhaled a huge amount of black smoke.
Once the body comes into contact with this smoke, the aura of death will enter the body through the skin, and the person will die in just two or three seconds.
Although Shihōin Chika reacted quickly, he was still somewhat overwhelmed in the face of such a large-scale biological weapon.
As Yamabuki Toutan previously stated, Quincy's own strength is not particularly strong; their main strength lies in developing all sorts of amazing abilities.
In a direct confrontation, "it was me who harmed him." Even if Justin had been given a powerful pill, he still couldn't beat Yamabuki Toutan. However, he was able to transfer the poison directly to Yamabuki Toutan using his ability to transfer damage, almost killing Yamabuki Toutan.
Shinigami didn't know much about Quincy, so before the battle, Yamabuki Toutan repeatedly told everyone not to act rashly if they discovered any strange abilities, and to retreat if necessary, as the saying goes, "Where there's life, there's hope."
Assuming the war is lost, we can simply cede Seireitei to the Quincy, but we must preserve the strength of Gotei 13.
After all, as the great man said in "On Protracted War," "If you save the land but lose the people, you will lose both the land and the people. If you save the people but lose the land, you will save both the land and the people."
No matter where you go, people are the most important thing.
