Playing with other Supernaturals

As Ichibei stretched his arm and reached out his 'Finger of Death' towards Serafall, Issei's right gauntlet's gem turned blue before its body turned white.

He then grabbed the spears piercing him and yelled, "Divide!"

[Divide!] Ddraig's voice also came from the gauntlet.

The spears in his body, including those he was not touching were instantly reduced to half of it. Issei repeated this several times until the spears were gone while also moving the fastest he could toward the outstretching arm.

Issei touched the giant's arm with his white gauntlet and shouted again, "Divide!"

As his [Dividing Gear], the [Divine Dividing] mode of his [Boosted Gear] that he got from absorbing Albion's crystal, worked its ability, Issei instantly realizes the vastness of what he's trying to take away, "!?"

Since he's not as efficient as Vali, his [Dividing Gear] was instantly overloaded and the excessive amount of energy that he was able to take from the slight contact immediately recoiled at him and worsened the wounds that he'd just received, "Shit! This is bad!"

Issei is not as good at reading the flow of energy as the others who specialize in it, however, he could easily tell that the giant's flow of aura was fully concentrated on the finger and he could easily tell that his defenses suffered from it.

The power contained within his finger was too much for him to deal with so Issei was contemplating if he should attack the main body. Although he took serious wounds, he's also charged up from it.

Fortunately, it wasn't just him who noticed the danger and the first one to move was actually Aizen as he released his Reiatsu, "...I can't pull them out. The space around them is too chaotic."

Ophis and Lilith also stopped powering the 'Hestia's' barrier and shot out in panic. They held each other's hand and a 10-feet wide blackish-purple Magic Circle, bearing the insignia of the Ouroboros appeared in front of them. A second later, a 10-feet wide and more than 200-feet long snake that matched the color of the giant.

But despite its size, it was able to wrap the tip of the finger and before it could even do what it intended to do, it exploded into a million pieces.

Ophis and Lilith placed a considerable amount of power within that snake so they were surprised that it was instantly destroyed with nothing left. They also tried teleporting to Serafall's side to pull her out but the same as Aizen, they couldn't even estimate the position that they have to come out due to how warped the space is.

Behind the Ouroboros Dragons are Tanis and Kunou, synergizing with the aura they're emitting and using that as a foothold to release their forbidden techniques, Fox Dragon Mode and Outrage for Kunou and Tanis respectively.

Kunou's hair and fur turned white and her 9th tail emerged. She then tossed all the talismans she could handle, numbering in thousands, into the air.

The numerous talismans hurriedly made their way toward Serafall and destroyed the part of the hand that was trapping her and Yamamoto.

While Yamamoto started falling, Serafall strangely stayed suspended and even after physically pulling on her, Kunou found out that she couldn't budge her from her position and if she forcefully dragged her out, she was afraid that it would worsen Serafall's already precarious condition.

Kunou couldn't think of anything to extract Serafall right now so she turned to Tanis who already lost most of her rationality, "Tanis! Don't touch it!"

Thankfully, Tanis could still register simple statements inside her head and her own instincts were telling her that the finger was in danger.

With insanity almost taking over her, Tanis' blue skin resurfaced and she also grew two Dragon horns on her forehead. In addition to that, the starry-black gem in the middle of her forehead became red. Her wings also doubled in size and her Soul Gear covered her entire arms which looked like the overlapping scales of a Dragon.

She placed both of her hands together in front of her before letting out a loud, deafening roar. In an instant, a blue beam of pure Draconic aura of ruination blasted out of her hands which isn't any weaker than Issei's 'Crimson Blaster'.

But instead of exploding on contact, the beam pushed against the finger which slowed it.

Ophis and Lilith followed her example and released an attack of their own aiming at the finger itself. It would actually be more effective to buff Tanis but with her current rationality, it's almost impossible for her to accept their 'Blessing'.

The black beam from Ouroboros Dragons also slammed against the finger and slowed it down further. However, that's it. All they could do was to slow it down and the finger was only a few miles away from Serafall.

Ophis, Lilith, and Tanis kept increasing their output and Kunou even joined in. This slowed it down more but didn't stop the threat. They tried changing its trajectory but to no avail. Despite their concerted effort, Serafall's death seems to be inevitable, and as the finger approaches, the calm and collected Ophis and Lilith actually begin panicking.

Aizen also isn't about to give up and joins the effort and sends in his own attack, "Hadou no 99, Goryuutenmetsu (Five Swirling Dragons of Destruction)"

Upon the materialization of five purple Dragons made out of his Reiatsu, the entire Soukyoku Hill was ruptured and everyone on it had to jump off.

The entire Seireitei shook upon the five illusionary Dragon's flight as they approached the finger.

Aizen first controlled to go around Serafall to see if he could remove any restrictions on her but to no avail, 'This isn't just a simple anchoring.' He thought to himself before letting his Kidou join the pushback. The giant's hand slowed even further, but that's it, 'This is hopeless.'

To Aizen and everyone else's surprise, however, Yhwach suddenly lifted his own arm and pointed it towards the sky, "Kirchenlied: Sankt Schwert (Church Hymn: Saint Sword)."

Five towering crosses of pure Reishi appeared all around the Seireitei before each of them shaped themselves like double-edged swords. They then shoot towards the sky. But instead of the finger, the shining blue swords flew towards Issei who was using his Ascalon trying to cut off Ichibei's arm to assist him.

The Gotei 13's pride, naturally, wouldn't allow them to stay quiet after Yhwach's display. With Mayuri in the lead, the prominent members of the Gotei 13 released their Reiatsu and combined their efforts to produce one of the most powerful spells at their disposal, "Kidouhou (Kidou Cannon)!"

Lastly, Azazel, Michael, and Gabriel also pitched in in this do-or-die situation.

Upon seeing all these awe-inspiring lights that bring hope to the world, the eyes on Ichibei couldn't help but curve into a crescent as if he were smiling, mocking everything that he was seeing.

'Ah~ Too easy.' Ichibei thought to himself. He didn't just target Serafall but also spent the majority of his power in this attack. However, what he wanted wasn't Serafall's ensured death, but for every pest in this realm to tire themselves out, 'I didn't think I'd get everyone on this bait. I underestimated that foreign woman's importance.'

If Ichibei had to deal with all of them separately, he could have been in danger no matter how powerful he was since he didn't know what sort of tricks they might pull off. But by using Serafall as bait, he forced them to play on the same field as him, a pure power struggle. He would have to use a large portion of his power and would be vulnerable for a short amount of time, but it's a risk he's willing to take if it means dealing with the aftermath a lot easier.

After all, once Serafall is dead, it won't just be him who would be vulnerable.

If he had a complete face, he would be making a mocking smile to all of them. If not for their stupid camaraderie that even dragged Aizen and Yhwach into the fray, there might have been a chance for them to repel him.

Unbeknownst to him and everyone else, however, Yhwach could see an illusion only available to him. An illusion of a young woman lethargically floating in front of him, [Wow~ That idiot really thought that he'd already won. Ahh~ I really wish I had popcorn right now.]

She was the reason why Yhwach decided to make his move.

[I don't see any chance of Serafall Sitri surviving this ordeal. Are you really just going to lay down in your seal and watch?] Yhwach tried sending his thoughts to her.

Thankfully, she heard him and turned her head to him with a grin, [Do you know who's the easiest to fool?]

Yhwach thought about it for a second before answering, [Someone who thinks he already knows all the answers.]

Flanna's grin grew larger, [Correct~ And thanks to that idiot focusing on baiting everyone, he himself didn't realize that he was baited.]

Yhwach didn't know what Flanna meant, but it's also at this moment, Ichibei's finger was just a few hundred feet from Serafall, and everyone was already desperate that they heard a weirdly annoying voice ringing to their ears, [Iyaa~ Thank you so much for making this a lot easier for me, Hyousube-san~ That went a lot smoother than I thought... Weirdly so. Makes me think that you're actually helping me out here... Tsundere?]
