Chapter 259 - Chapter 259: The Aura of Death

Many military strategists in later generations have said that war is all about intelligence.

Yamabuki Toutan knew that Yhwach's abilities were Omniscience and Omnipotence, so he used various methods to target those abilities.

Anyone who has read "JoJo" knows that there is no true invincibility in this world. As long as your abilities are exposed, there will always be a corresponding countermeasure.

Kars was supposed to be the strongest creature? In the end, wasn't he exiled to outer space?

At this moment, Leila sprayed death aura everywhere. Shihōin Chika and Katoribatsuyunsai ordered their subordinates to retreat immediately. In Captain-level battles, ordinary members are of no use; at most, they can only cheer from the sidelines.

As for those Great Sages of Central 46, nobody cared whether they lived or died; they could only hide in a corner, trembling and waiting to die.

Without the micro-management of these people, Squad 13 would have suffered far fewer casualties.

" Shihōin Chika, Katoribatsuyunsai, come quickly and save us! You are nobles too, right? Come quickly and save us! If you are willing to save my life, I am willing to give you my position!" A Great Sage cried out in a very sorry state as death approached.

Even at the very end of his life, he still thought the position of Great Sage was very important. Little did he know that, in the eyes of the Gotei 13 team members, the so-called Great Sage was no different from an old man selling vegetables on the street.

"Let's go. Do you have any ranged attack methods?" Shihōin Chika asked with a grim expression.

"My Bankai can attack from a distance, but…" Katoribatsuyunsai's expression was somewhat grim. He wondered if these death auras would affect inanimate objects. Once Bankai was damaged, it could not be restored. If his sword were to decay, he would have nowhere to turn to cry!

At that moment, Apollo, standing amidst the aura of death, began radiating light, its main strategy being to use its long reach to attack those with short reach, taking advantage of the fact that you lack ranged damage.

He had just taken a small pill, which should be the antidote, so he was able to stand unharmed amidst the aura of death.

"If he just took the antidote, then that means this death aura isn't a rule-based ability; it must be some kind of poison. If Old Man were here, that would be great," Shihōin Chika said helplessly. The Old Man he was referring to was Gyokotsu Saiin, a master of poisons.

Moreover, if this battle continues, the two of them will only be passively beaten.

If only we had Kido- like abilities at this time.

Shihōin Chika hesitated. Should she use Bankai here?

"I can tell from your eyes that you definitely have a backup plan. At this point, stop hiding your abilities and show them to Shihōin Chika." Katoribatsuyunsai said to Shihōin Chika while dodging the aura of death.

Shihōin Chika said in a very serious tone, "Of course I can use my hidden abilities, but there's one condition: no matter what happens, you can't laugh. I'll make you swear, or you'll never get married!"

Katoribatsuyunsai's lips twitched involuntarily. Just how bizarre is your Bankai ability? It actually made me make such a vicious oath!

"Okay, I promise I won't laugh, or my sister will never get married." At the most crucial moment, Katoribatsuyunsai didn't hesitate to throw his sister out as a shield.

"..." Shihōin Chika stared at Katoribatsuyunsai, "You're such a good older sister."

"Forget it, with the enemy at our doorstep, we can't worry about these things now!" Shihōin Chika softly called out, " Bankai!"

A powerful spiritual pressure erupted instantly, and Shihōin Chika's body underwent a dramatic transformation.

The other three stared at Shihōin Chika in shock, hardly believing their eyes.

Because Shihōin Chika... turned into a cat the size of a human!

And it's a black cat.

It has glossy skin, twitching whiskers, soft paw pads, and a large head and ears.

The two girls on the scene were almost melted by her cuteness.

How could there be such an adorable Bankai in this world?

Katoribatsuyunsai suppressed the urge to pounce on the cat and asked in a low voice, "What's the point of turning into this? Even if you become a cat, you'll still use melee attacks, right? We can't break through the aura of death at all right now."

At this point, Shihōin Chika had completely lost her ability to speak, and she managed to let out a meow!

"Meow meow meow meow!"

"..." Katoribatsuyunsai felt that Shihōin Chika, who could meow like a cat, was even cuter.

Apollo wasn't a cat lover, and although he found the large cat in front of him very cute, he still said cautiously, "Be careful, he might use some strange abilities. I wouldn't be surprised if he gave birth to a whole litter of kittens right there!"

Shihōin Chika was furious when she heard Apollo's words.

I'm a male cat!

You'll have babies, your whole family will have babies!

Although Shihōin Chika has turned into a cat, his abilities have nothing to do with melee combat.

Around the world, black cats are associated with many death myths.

For example, in China, there is a saying that a corpse will rise from the dead if it encounters a black cat.

In ancient Egypt, black cats were considered the ambassadors of Shinigami.

So Shihōin Chika's true ability after turning into a black cat isn't to pounce on people and bite them or play with a cat toy, but rather...

"Undead Summoning!"

Shihōin Chika pressed her enormous cat paws to the ground.

A very strange sound came from all directions.

"Giggle giggle..."

It felt like countless bones rubbing and colliding, sending chills down your spine.

Those Shinigami and Quincy who had died in battle also stood up in contorted positions.

They can even retain some of their abilities from when they were alive!

Apollo and Lyra's expressions changed slightly, but they quickly recovered!

"This little trick does look pretty impressive, but... I am the mighty Sun God. How could such a petty trick as controlling the dead possibly defeat me?" Apollo shot out a golden beam of light, and the corpse Mukuro that touched the golden light instantly turned to ashes.

"I originally thought you were very capable, but now I'm so disappointed. You're just destined to be a pet!" Apollo said arrogantly.

The cat sneered.

"Giggle giggle giggle..."

The sound of bones grinding together grew louder and louder. Suddenly, the earth cracked open, and countless Mukuro bones poured out from the ground, endlessly, as if opening a gap in hell!

Apollo unleashed scorching sunlight from his hands, turning corpses to ash wherever he went. At first, he was in control, but he gradually realized something was wrong. No matter how many he killed, the Mukuro corpses seemed endless, coming from all directions!

Most importantly, these already dead skeletons are not afraid of the "aura of death" at all.
