After Grayfia became serious, Kensei could feel an extremely terrifying aura from her. Without a doubt, the other party was not an insignificant small fry, but a strong individual with power.
"Bankai! Tekken Tachikaze!"
Boom!
Kensei's Reiatsu further increased, the ground began to constantly crack, and the surging strong winds blew off the warehouse ceiling and rushed in all directions.
The Reiatsu light pillar dissipated, and Kensei's dagger turned into two toothed blades, with a track appearing on each arm, extending to his back and connecting together.
At the same time, a mask appeared on his face. He entered Hollowfication, and his strength reached its peak.
"Here I come!" Kensei roared and charged forward.
The iron fists carrying explosive power fell, and in an instant, dozens of punches surrounded Grayfia.
"Is this your full strength?"
Dodging all of the attacks as if taking a leisurely stroll, Grayfia turned around and swept her leg horizontally.
Bang!
Kensei turned into an afterimage and smashed into the ground not far away.
"Not bad, but that's all."
After commenting lightly, Grayfia's gaze turned to the other members of the Visored.
"Everyone, if your strength is similar to Kensei's, then let's all come at once."
"Oh dear. It seems I can't just watch the show."
"Hey! Kensei, are you alright?"
"Since the other party said so, let's all go at once and finish this quickly."
Led by Shinji, the Visored who were originally watching became serious.
As companions who had known each other for a hundred years, they were very clear about Kensei's strength.
After activating Bankai and Hollowfication and using his full power, he was defeated so easily. Grayfia's strength was probably beyond imagination.
"Cough! It's not over yet!"
Kensei got up at this time.
Taking a deep breath to adjust his state, he raised his hand towards Grayfia and roared, "Continue! I'll definitely hit you this time!"
"It's time to face reality, Kensei."
Grayfia established a connection with the Vorpal Sword, and the aura on her body surged wildly, suppressing everyone in the blink of an eye.
"The gap between us is much larger than you imagine."
—
Inside Urahara Shop.
Yoruichi looked at Tatsuma, who was chatting halfway through and suddenly had a huge energy fluctuation appear on his body, feeling a little puzzled.
"Tatsuma, what are you doing?"
"Maintaining the barrier."
"Barrier?"
"Yes, Grayfia's side is fighting."
After ensuring that the barrier covered the area around the Visored, Tatsuma explained the situation.
"They started fighting so quickly?" Yoruichi was a little surprised by this reply.
Calculating the time, if they traveled normally, Kisuke and Grayfia would have just arrived at the Visored's base.
Did they start fighting directly without saying much?
She recalled Grayfia's rational appearance during their recent conversation.
After lamenting that appearances can be deceiving, Yoruichi asked, "How is the battle going now?"
"It's almost over."
Tatsuma glanced at the prompt in front of him that only he could see.
[Congratulations, you have obtained the purple trait: Tachikaze.]
[Congratulations, you have obtained the purple trait: Hollowfication.]
[Congratulations, you have obtained the purple trait: Kidō Enhancement.]
As former Captains and Vice-Captains of the Gotei 13, the members of the Visored were not weak. However, Grayfia's strength was even greater.
After being enhanced by Tatsuma, she was only one step away from the transcendent level. Coupled with Restia, who also received enhancements, the power that erupted when the two resonated was among the strongest even among the main gods.
In front of the fully serious Grayfia, the members of the Visored had no power to resist at all.
[Congratulations, you have obtained the purple trait: Sakanade.]
Another prompt sounded in his ear, and Tatsuma's thoughts moved, collecting the energy on his body.
"It's over."
"So fast!" Yoruichi let out a surprised exclamation.
From the moment the energy appeared on Tatsuma's body until now, it had only been a little over a minute. Such a short time could only indicate a huge disparity in strength between the two sides.
As for who won...
Just by Tatsuma's tone, the result was clear.
Picking up a piece of pastry, Yoruichi chatted while looking towards the entrance not far away.
After a moment, Grayfia returned with the others.
Looking past Grayfia, Yoruichi looked at Shinji and the others who walked in limping behind her.
"Yo! Hirako, why are you so disheveled? Could it be that you accidentally fell and were hit by a car while helping an old lady cross the road?"
"Yoruichi, now is not the time to tease me." Shinji sighed, looking helpless.
He was at home fine early in the morning, but was inexplicably beaten up, and afterwards he still had to help work. Who could he complain to?
"Actually, you can be more optimistic."
As if she had seen through Shinji's thoughts, Yoruichi raised her hand and pointed at Tatsuma, introducing him.
"Here. This is our employer. He's very generous."
"You are the Red Dragon Emperor?"
Shinji examined him carefully and nodded thoughtfully. "He's quite handsome, only slightly less so than me."
Bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, Shinji was kicked flying by the person behind him.
"Shinji, your skin is really thick."
Hiyori glanced at Shinji with disdain, then looked at Tatsuma from in front of the table.
"I heard that as long as we work for you, you can make us stronger. Is that true?"
"It's true."
Tatsuma chose a white trait and gave it to her.
As a Vice Captain of the Gotei 13, Hiyori was considered a genius, no matter what.
With her potential activated, her aura surged significantly in just a few seconds, showing remarkable results.
"Such powerful strength." Hiyori let out a cry of surprise.
After carefully feeling the increase in Reiatsu within her body, Hiyori's mood improved considerably.
"Hey! Can I get a reinforcement too?" Shinji climbed up from the ground and waved his hand.
"Of course, every one of you will get one."
Tatsuma took out some more white traits and granted them to Shinji and the others.
A moment later, the strength of Shinji and the others was boosted, and the resentment in their hearts also lessened considerably. Although they were beaten up, compared to the strength they gained, it was still acceptable.
Beside them, Kisuke watched with some envy, pulled out his fan, and fanned Tatsuma.
"Tatsuma, may I ask if I can receive my payment in advance?"
"Your payment has already been advanced."
"Eh? But regarding the medical expenses, didn't you say you would give me another chance?"
"I did give you a chance."
Tatsuma chuckled lightly. "Claiming not to take sides, but secretly instigating Grayfia to report on me."
"Kisuke, acting one way on the surface and another way in secret is not good behavior."
"!!!"
Kisuke was instantly stunned.
Realizing what Tatsuma was saying, a drop of sweat trickled down his forehead, and the smile on his face stiffened.
"You saved your life. I hope there won't be a next time."
Tatsuma put down the teacup in his hand, raised his hand, and snapped his fingers, summoning a Teleportation Magic circle.
A massive demonic power fluctuation rose, and Tatsuma led everyone back to the Akatsuki Headquarters.
He pressed the button on the table, and after a moment, Sho hurried in from outside.
Seeing so many people in the room, Sho was stunned for a moment before looking at Tatsuma.
"Leader, is there something you need?"
Tatsuma said, "These people are the experts I found. This afternoon, they will be responsible for leading the team to encircle and suppress the Hero Faction branch. Arrange some subordinates for them."
"I understand."
Sho nodded slightly and called Shinji and the others to leave the office.
A large group of people left, leaving only Tatsuma and Grayfia in the office.
"This morning's action ends here. Next, we just need to wait for everyone to arrive."
Tatsuma looked at Grayfia. "There are still a few hours left. You can find something to pass the time."
Grayfia was a little surprised. "Don't you have anything you want to ask me?"
"Ask what?"
"Since you heard the conversation between me and Kisuke, you should know that I have a mission to monitor you. Don't you have anything to say?"
Tatsuma thought for a moment and said, "Your mission attitude is a bit lacking. Come to my room tonight for close-quarters monitoring."
Grayfia: "..."
