The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)
Chapter 447 - Hela VS... (III)

Hela's whole body trembled in rage but she was battle-hardened and immortal if nothing else so she took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She knew that her senses were messed up and couldn't depend on them any longer. 

Kisuke Urahara and Kurosaki Isshin released a relieved sigh when they noticed Hela closing her eyes but before either of them could react. Hela's left hand shot up and grabbed Kurosaki Isshin's face. 

Urahara noticed that twisted his Zanpakutou but Hela didn't even react to that. Even Kurosaki Isshin pushed his Zanpakutou trying to inflict more damage and pain but Hela didn't even flinch. 

"Hado #63, Raikoho" a yellow flash erupted from her hand engulfing the trio. Kurosaki Isshin was thrown out of the dust cloud with a bloody face. One side of his face was completely charred. 

Next was Kisuke Urahara who only had the hilt of his Zanpakutou in his hand. "Mashiro Kick!!" a small girl named Mashiro Kuna who had a mop of green hair on top of her head jumped into the dust cloud with the intention of smashing Hela.. 

A hand came out into the view from the dust cloud and grabbed the girl's leg. Hela swung down her Zanpakutou and before anyone else could react the girl's leg was separated from her body. The girl screamed out in pain and Hela threw away the severed leg as it was thrash. 

Hela still had Urahara's Zanpakutou sans hilt embedded inside her chest. Ryuken Ishida wanted to fire an arrow but found himself unable to move his hands. He finally noticed that Hela was no longer where she previously was. 

Ryuken slowly turned his head and found Hela was grabbing her release arm with a massive grin on her face. He almost had an idea what was coming but nothing could have prepared him for the pain when his arm was ripped off from his body. 

Ryuken Ishida grabbed his shoulder and dropped to the ground howling in pain. Hela sidestepped as a girl named Lisa named Yadomaru passed by her side with a polearm. Hela wanted to get rid of the woman but found herself unable to do that because she had to dodge another attack. 

Hela twisted her body as she dodged a giant metal club and trusted her Zanpakutou towards her attacker. 

"Nooo!!" Several screams were heard but it was too late for Love Aikawa as he found Hela's Zanpakutou embedded in his chest. Hela pulled out her Zanpakutou with a vicious grin on her face. 

Love Aikawa spat out a mouthful of blood as he plopped down on the ground. Hirako Shinji found himself swinging down his Zanpakutou at Hela. Hela still had her eyes closed as she was still fighting through pure instincts and her battle sense. 

He didn't even know how he reacted due to the rage he was feeling. Hela simply sidestepped and Hirako Shinji's Zanpakutou completely missed the target. He frowned when he noticed a small grin made its way to Hela's face. 

Hela raised up her left hand and pointed two fingers towards Hirako Shinji. Purple lightning erupted from her fingers. "Hado #90, Kurohitsugi" Hela gushed out in glee and everyone froze as Hirako Shinji was engulfed in a black coffin. 

To everyone's complete horror, the black coffin disappeared after a second and Hirako Shinji could be seen standing, he stood there completely still. All of a sudden blood splattered everywhere as Hirako Shinji plopped on the ground, probably dead. 

Hela finally opened her eyes and grabbed the Zanpakutou still lodged inside her chest and pulled it out. "Ah, much better now" Hela said as she stretched her body. She didn't get to enjoy it for long as the black-skinned woman attacked her. 

The woman was wearing a black leotard. She had long purple coloured hair and her eyes were yellow similar to a cat. Hela simply danced through the woman's blows.

"Scream Benihime" Urahara Zanpakutou was fixed as fixing a Shikai wasn't a big deal. Hela once again swatted away the attack using El Escudo.

Hela tilted her whole body to dodge a golden whip but she used her free hand to grab the whip and pull the user towards her. She was careful not to grab the tip of the whip. She knew its weakness due to her Zanpakutou. 

Rojuro Otoribashi throws away his Zanpakutou to save himself but it didn't help as Hela's fingers pointed towards him. "Hado #32, Okasen" Hela muttered and Rojuro Otoribashi was engulfed in a yellow flash. 

Hela Flash Stepped behind Lisa Yadomaru and swung down her Zanpakutou. Lisa didn't even know what happened but blood splattered everyone around her as she dropped to the ground.

All of a sudden Hela froze when she found herself surrounded by a translucent yellow barrier. She immediately recognized the barrier as Hachigyo Sogai. Hela's eyes focused on the fat man in green clothes. 

"Ryubi no Jomon" the man went through some hand seals as some white sheets came flying towards Hela. Hela wasn't impressed by the display. She simply placed her palm on the surface of the first barrier. 

"Koko no Jomon" the man went through another round of hand seals and another barrier appeared beside Hela. 

"Hado #99, Goryutenmetsu!" Hela exclaimed much to everyone's horror as the whole ground ruptured and the ground started to rise up in pillars destroying everything in their path. Finally, five-light purple dragons formed up in the air. 

Hado #99, Goryutenmetsu was a forbidden Hado because it drew energy from the ley lines. Well, at least the original one did that but Reo had modified the Hado Spell to draw energy from the user. Both Reo and Hela were more than strong enough to use this Hado from their own energy. 

"Don't do it!!!" Both Ryuken Ishida and Kisuke Urahara screamed in protest and Hela simply grinned as the five dragons descended and collided with the ground. A huge explosion erupted engulfing more than one-third of Karakura Town. 

When the explosion finally subsided, almost half of the Karakura Town was in ruins. Thousands of people had died in the blink of an eye but at least none of her attackers were dead. All of them were still breathing, even if barely. 

They would have died if a tall man with a moustache hadn't intervened. He had arrived just before the explosion and erected a barrier to protect them. The barrier did break before the explosion ended but it held up long enough to save their lives. 

Hela stood in the middle of the crater with a grin on her face. She had noticed that the whole group was making a hasty escape but she didn't care anymore as they weren't important anymore. 

Everyone among the group was either tired or they already had one foot inside their graves, fighting them won't be fun any longer and she had a lot of fun today… Well, it could have been more fun if she was allowed to kill. 

Alas, she wasn't allowed to kill so she decided to leave for now… Hela released a content sigh and disappeared in a wisp of greenish-black smoke… 

[Senkaimon, Seireitei] 

"The Senkaimon is ready!" the Captain of the 12th Division, Mayuri Kurotsuchi exclaimed when the Senkaimon finished powering up for their journey. 

The Captain-Commander gave a small hum as he acknowledged the statement. The Captain-Commander knocked his cane on the ground gathering everyone's attention. 

"Open the Senkaimon" the Captain-Commander command and the gates slowly opened as he was the first one to enter the Senkaimon. 

After a few minutes, all of them found themselves right in the middle of Karakura Town. The Captain of the 6th Division, Kuchiki Byakuya, seemed to be really tense. His sister Kuchiki Rukia had been appointed to Karakura Town. 

Half of the Town was in ruins… right in the middle, there was a giant crater. Sosuke Aizen had a neutral look on his face but he was seething in rage inside his mind. All of his plans were blown into smithereens with the presence of this new powerhouse. 

He knew that one of the resident Quincies had issued a duel against his obsession Kurosaki Ichigo. He wasn't able to watch the duel for long as he was being summoned by the Captain-Commander. The Quincy had used a Hollow Bait for the duel. 

Aizen had planned to send a Gillian to see Ichigo's development but it looked like something or someone had dashed his impeccable plans. 'How did I miss such a strong Hollow?' Aizen questioned himself. 

He was pretty sure that it was a Hollow because he had been peeping on Karakura Town and he would have known if there was a variable living in his playground. Everyone was looking at the destruction with solemn looks on their faces. 

Captain Unohana was already leading her squad to rescue and help anyone she could. Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi was already inspecting the crater. Captain Soifon had already sent away her squad to look around the city for more information. 

For now, Aizen simply decided to wait as he could still feel the Reiatsu of Kurosaki Ichigo… he didn't know if Rukia had survived or not but the chances were high since Ichigo on the other part of the town…
