Boom!!
The moment Shigure Segawa shouted, his hand burst into radiant lightning.
In that instant, the entire world was filled with wildly dancing lightning!
The brilliant and dazzling golden light illuminated the entire gray world, occupying every corner of the sky!
Ahead, the dragon suddenly spread its wings and then immediately transformed into a vast stream of golden spiritual particles, surging into the lightning spear in Shigure's hand.
After absorbing all the spiritual particles, the spear shone even brighter, with lightning rapidly leaping from both ends, extending infinitely.
It seemed to connect the entire world.
At the same time, Shigure's spiritual pressure climbed to a new height!
Under this pressure, the surrounding ground began to collapse on a large scale!
Shigure looked at the blazing lightning in his hand, his lips curling into a deep smile, his heart filled with excitement.
This was his Zanpakutō!
Candle Dragon!
Feeling the immense power it contained, Shigure finally understood the system's naming of it as "Ultimate."
This was undoubtedly the strongest lightning-type Zanpakutō, embodying the ultimate power of lightning!
Even in its Shikai state, its power was already terrifying.
What kind of incredible form would it take in Bankai?!
Standing in this apocalyptic landscape, Shigure's understanding of his Zanpakutō began to deepen.
The ultimate Zanpakutō rewarded by the system was the ultimate dual-element power of "wind" and "lightning." In the moment he mastered the lightning Shikai, the wind Shikai was also imprinted in his mind.
He could switch between them at will in the future.
"I must say... your true name brings back memories..."
Shigure gazed at the lightning in his hand, smiling gently.
A Zanpakutō is not merely a weapon.
Every Zanpakutō, from the moment of its creation, possesses its own soul, thoughts, and personality.
And all of these are concentrated in its "true name."
The name "Candle Dragon" might be unfamiliar to the people of this world.
But for Shigure, a transmigrator, it was a name he knew well.
This name comes from the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
Of course, Shigure understood that the essence of this Zanpakutō was not the mythical dragon, and the nature of their powers was entirely different.
The true name arose because it manifested a certain degree of Shigure's soul and memories.
Nonetheless, Shigure was quite satisfied with it.
Whether it was the power or its various unique techniques, it perfectly exceeded Shigure's expectations.
As he pondered, a flash of white light appeared before Shigure's eyes once more.
In the next moment, he left the Zanpakutō's inner world, still standing on the streets of Karakura Town, with the full moon hanging overhead.
And before him remained the giant owl-shaped Hollow.
But this time, the Asauchi in Shigure's hand was no longer a nameless blade but a Zanpakutō capable of releasing its true name.
The Hollow seemed to sense something; it stopped its previous crawling motion.
Shigure smiled, lightning beginning to flicker in his eyes.
He slowly raised his hand, holding the Asauchi in reverse, the sharp blade reflecting the moonlight, casting a cold shadow.
He parted his lips and recited the Zanpakutō's release incantation—
"Deliver heavenly judgment... Candle Dragon!"
As soon as he spoke, the Asauchi in his hand shattered, and then, explosive lightning surged from Shigure's palm, shooting into the night sky!
In that moment, the entire night sky was illuminated by golden lightning.
Immediately following, a ferocious lightning dragon descended from the sky, striking directly at the giant owl-shaped Hollow!
Boom!!!
The massive sound of the lightning strike drowned out the Hollow's screams.
Countless lightning bolts burst forth, flickering like flames and surging like ocean waves.
This was the ultimate thunderstorm.
The obliterating spiritual pressure instantly declared the Hollow's death.
Moments later, the lightning dissipated, and the street returned to calm.
The owl-shaped Hollow didn't even leave a corpse; it simply dissolved into spiritual particles and vanished.
On the street, Shigure stood proudly, a smile on his lips.
In his hand, he held the leaping lightning, the blazing golden light brilliant and dazzling.
Candle Dragon: Lightning Shikai!
