A figure slowly emerged from the crater, dragging its body upward through the dust and fractured earth until it stood once more before Shiraha. But this was no longer the composed and focused Muguruma Kensei. His form had twisted—his appearance warped beyond recognition. Bone-white armor now curled across his back, and a jagged Hollow mask clung to his face like a curse. The spiritual pressure rolling off him was no longer that of a Shinigami—it pulsed with the wild, unstable energy of a Hollow.

The dual blades he wielded in Bankai had morphed. They were no longer Zanpakutō in the traditional sense; instead, they had transformed into skeletal gauntlets that encased both arms, resembling claws forged from bone and malice.

"…He's lost control?"

Shiraha's expression remained calm, though a flicker of surprise passed through his eyes as he used Observation Haki to scan Kensei's Reiatsu. He had assumed the battle was over—that Kensei had reached his limit. But now, it was clear: this wasn't a second wind. This was a complete breakdown of control. And Shiraha knew exactly why.

He had pushed too far.

By unleashing sixtyfold gravity on Kensei's already-wounded body, Shiraha had overloaded the man's threshold. His Hollowfication had spiraled out of balance, and now, Kensei was a puppet driven by primal instinct and Hollow rage.

"This is bad. His inner Hollow's gone berserk."

Hirako Shinji's face darkened, his brows drawn in a deep frown. "After all these years, he's been able to control it flawlessly. He mastered Hollowfication, maintained consciousness… but this—this isn't the same. It's a full breakdown."

If they didn't act fast, the Hollow within Kensei might completely overtake his soul. And once that happened—not even they could bring him back.

"Hurry up, baldy! Rōjūrō! Love! Get over there now and restrain him!" Hiyori's voice cracked with urgency, even as she struggled beneath the oppressive gravity still anchoring her body to the ruined battlefield.

Among the Visored, only the three remaining captain-level fighters—Shinji, Rōjūrō, and Love—were barely managing to stand. The rest had long since succumbed to the crushing pressure of Shiraha's spiritual force and couldn't take a single step.

The trio nodded silently, ready to flash-step forward.

Boom!

In the next instant, Shiraha manipulated the field again. Gravity multiplied around the three Visored captains, increasing tenfold. The force stopped them mid-step, locking their bodies in place and forcing them to unleash their Reiatsu just to keep from collapsing. The weight of sixtyfold gravity crushed down on them like a mountain.

"Kuchiki Shiraha! What the hell are you doing?!"

Shinji's voice rang out in protest, his tone sharp with frustration. Cracks spidered outward beneath the trio as the very ground beneath them started to give way under the pressure. All three glared at Shiraha, silently demanding an explanation.

But Shiraha only smiled, cool and confident.

"I'll deal with Kensei myself."

Yoruichi raised an eyebrow. "You're planning to subdue a Hollowfied captain… alone?"

Her tone carried a mix of intrigue and concern. After all, Kensei in this state was far stronger than a standard captain. Normally, it would take at least three Visored at full strength working in sync just to restrain him, much less defeat him.

"That's right," Shiraha replied with quiet certainty. "You three just stay back and watch. I'll handle Senior Muguruma's Hollowification myself."

He couldn't afford interference. Not now. This was the climax of his mission. Defeating a fully Hollowfied captain would fulfill the system's sign-in task, advancing the Fujitora template to 100% and unlocking the second combat template. And besides—Shiraha didn't need help. He had the power to face Kensei head-on.

Raising his staff-blade coated in Armament Haki, Shiraha addressed the berserk warrior.

"Senior Muguruma, can you still hear me?"

Only a guttural roar answered. The last trace of Kensei's reason had been consumed. The Hollow inside had taken full control.

A thick white substance began crawling across his skin, forming armor-like plating. The wounds that Shiraha's earlier gravity assault had inflicted were rapidly healing—almost instantaneously.

"High-Speed Regeneration," Shiraha muttered, unimpressed as his Observation Haki registered the cellular restoration happening in real time. Kensei charged through the field with a maddened howl, each footfall cracking the stone as his immense mass cratered the ground beneath him.

Shiraha watched impassively, then raised one finger.

"Sixty-five times gravity."

Before Kensei could close the gap, Shiraha's gravity control surged again. The pressure magnified.

Boom!

Kensei's body slammed into the ground like a meteorite, the increased force driving him flat into the earth. The sheer intensity of the pressure crushed bone and muscle alike.

Crack!

Flesh split apart, armor cracked, and Kensei's bones began snapping audibly. The Hollow's screams of pain tore through the battlefield, punctuated only by the grotesque sound of his body regenerating as quickly as it broke apart.

The watching Visoreds flinched. Even Shinji, usually composed, couldn't hide the wince that passed over his face.

Still, Kensei's will wasn't broken. Beneath the pressure, his right arm rose slowly. A Cero, blood-red and pulsing with murderous intent, began forming at the tip of his hand.

Shiraha vanished.

In a flash of Shunpo, he reappeared directly in front of Kensei.

With a precise swing of his black staff, he severed the outstretched arm.

Roar!

Kensei howled in agony, blood spilling across the cracked stone. But even that wasn't enough. Within seconds, the limb had regenerated fully—restored by that maddening Hollow trait.

"High-Speed Regeneration... truly annoying," Shiraha muttered. The speed of it was already on par with a fully evolved Adjuchas. Any ordinary strategy would've been rendered meaningless.

But Shiraha wasn't ordinary.

"Weightlessness Control."

Gravity within a ten-meter radius around Kensei was abruptly inverted. The earth and everything within that zone—stones, dust, debris, and Kensei himself—floated upward like marionettes on invisible strings.

Boom!

In seconds, Kensei was levitating high above the battlefield, suspended by Shiraha's manipulation of the gravitational field. And then—

"Gravity Chaos."

He reversed it instantly.

The sixty-fivefold gravity returned without warning, slamming down on Kensei from above.

Boom!!

The Hollowfied captain plummeted from the sky and struck the ground like a divine hammer. The shockwave blasted outward with brutal force, carving a crater hundreds of meters wide. Deep fissures fractured across the battlefield as the very earth quaked. The underground complex trembled like a dying beast, the entire structure collapsing into rubble and dust.

Everything was falling apart.

"Hell Brigade," Shiraha whispered.

Around Kensei's broken form, Shiraha directed gravity to its absolute limit—compacting space, twisting pressure, and condensing every ounce of force into a single brutal point. The very fabric of the battlefield twisted around Muguruma Kensei's body.

And Shiraha, standing above it all, unmoving and absolute, prepared to end it.
