Chapter 86: Chapter 86 - Enuma Elish!
Chapter 86 - Enuma Elish!
The true power of Ea?
Could it be Bankai?
Such thoughts crossed the minds of Unohana, Suì-Fēng, Ōmaeda, and the members of the Royal Guard.
However, Byakuya, Ginrei, Sasakibe, and Ichibē did not think so.
They knew Gilgamesh's Zanpakutō was not Ea, but rather Kennō.
Thus, what Gilgamesh referred to as the true power of Ea could not be Bankai.
Among them, Ichibē found it peculiar that he had never heard of Ea.
He was the original namer of all things in Soul Society, including Zanpakutō, Shikai, and Bankai.
Thus, the moment Asauchi reached the hands of a Shinigami, Ichibē knew its name, even Kennō was no exception.
However, Kennō was unique.
Initially, Kennō had no name. It wasn't until Gilgamesh realized what he desired that it received a name.
Ichibē scrutinized the uniquely shaped Ea, pondering its mystery.
In the meantime, only Aizen, Gin, and Tōsen knew what Gilgamesh meant.
They had experienced it firsthand.
Their gazes were fixed on Ea, curious whether it was stronger than the Gungnir Gilgamesh had once used.
As everyone watched, golden ripples appeared around Gilgamesh.
From these ripples, magical gems emerged, surrounding Gilgamesh.
To unleash the full power of Ea, the magic reserves of Child Gilgamesh were insufficient.
Of course, the "full power" here referred only to the extent Child Gilgamesh could wield.
Of Gilgamesh's three phases, only the Tyrant phase could harness the greatest power of Ea.
But even that was not the weapon's true full power.
The only one who could unleash Ea's true power was the Great God Ea, who originally wielded it to create the world.
Gilgamesh looked down at Yamamoto, at the endless ranks of charred skeletons aiming to drag him to hell, and began his chant.
"Ea! Sing praise as you like! I will tell you of the beginning. Heaven and Earth split. Nothingness congratulated Creation... and my sword cleaved the world."
As he chanted, the gems around him burst with light, releasing immense magical energy visible to the naked eye.
This energy was absorbed by Gilgamesh and funneled into Ea.
The sword's blade began to spin in different directions, creating a red-and-white rotating field that generated violent winds.
Unlike before, the rotating fields converged at the sword's tip, forming an outer red and inner gold energy sphere.
Simultaneously, a wondrous phenomenon appeared around Gilgamesh.
At this moment, Gilgamesh seemed like the Great God Ea, who divided Heaven and Earth.
Everyone present felt an overwhelming pressure merely by witnessing this scene from afar.
The captains still rushing over saw a red star in the sky, symbolizing the beginning and end.
They didn't know what it was, but just a glance made their hearts tremble, as if witnessing a great terror.
Ichibē expression had drastically changed.
He sensed an ancient aura from Ea, older than himself and even the Soul King, akin to the primordial chaos before Heaven and Earth.
Before he could ponder further, he felt his Zanpakutō, Ichimonji, trembling uncontrollably.
It wasn't just him; everyone's Zanpakutō was trembling.
Yamamoto heard Ryūjin Jakka's trembling voice in his mind.
'This sword is terrifying. It feels like a true god, crushing everything from another dimension.'
'I can't imagine how devastating its attack will be.'
'But I know it must be stopped, Genryūsai. You must stop it. Do not let its attack land.'
Yamamoto did not doubt Ryūjin Jakka's words.
Even without the warning, his body and soul were screaming in alarm.
Without hesitation, Yamamoto drew his sword and slashed towards Gilgamesh, roaring, "Zanka no Tachi: Kita - Tenchi Kaijin!"
This move was Ryūjin Jakka's most powerful technique.
It released a slash from an extremely long range, erasing everything it touched to ash.
Everyone present could sense the terror of Yamamoto's move.
But their minds remained focused on Gilgamesh and his Ea.
Gilgamesh's chant reached its climax.
Ea's power peaked.
The outer red and inner gold energy sphere at the sword's tip shone brilliantly.
"Mortar of the stars, heaven's hell is the eve of creation's celebration."
"Enuma Elish!"
With the chant complete, Gilgamesh slashed towards Yamamoto Genryūsai.
In the next moment, a red-gold energy beam representing the power of creation and destruction blasted towards Yamamoto.
The slash that was supposed to obliterate everything was shattered and disintegrated by the beam.
In Yamamoto's eyes, the beam seemed both a creation and an end, hurtling towards him, his mind blanking out.
His survival instinct made him raise his sword to block.
As Ryūjin Jakka touched the beam, Yamamoto heard its voice, 'Genryūsai, farewell…'
Then, Ryūjin Jakka unleashed all its power, erupting into terrifying flames that momentarily held off the beam.
Before Yamamoto could react, the overwhelming force from Ryūjin Jakka sent him flying.
As he watched, Ryūjin Jakka shattered within the beam, along with the endless army of charred skeletons, all disintegrating into dust.
Boom!
The battle was over!!
