Vimana possessed a solid body like a giant bird, composed almost entirely of gold and emerald gemstones.
In the Nasuverse, Vimana is a mythical flying vehicle passed down from Babylon to India and recorded in the two great Indian epics, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. It is also known as the King’s Soaring Throne.
Of course, it is one of the treasures stored in Gilgamesh’s Gate of Babylon.
Now, for the first time in the world of Bleach, Gilgamesh displayed this noble phantasm.
The King’s Soaring Throne, a radiant vessel soaring in the sky, was now shining in the world of Bleach.
At the same time, people who were about to go to sleep suddenly noticed that the sky seemed to be brightening.
Yet, they clearly remembered that it had just gotten dark. Could their memories be mistaken?
Some people, filled with curiosity, stepped out of their homes and looked towards the ‘light.’
What they saw left them stunned and speechless, their faces full of shock.
In their eyes, under the pitch-black night sky, a shining ‘giant bird’ floated above, like a myth brought to life.
At this moment, Gilgamesh sat on the King’s Throne of Vimana, looking down and casting a glance at Ōmaeda Marechiyo.
Without a word, Vimana seemed to sense Gilgamesh’s intent and flew in a certain direction.
Cold sweat had already started streaming down Marechiyo’s face.
No one knew how much pressure that one look from Gilgamesh had exerted on Marechiyo.
At the same time, Marechiyo understood from that look that Gilgamesh wanted him to follow.
Under normal circumstances, Marechiyo might have considered running away.
But for some reason, that single look from Gilgamesh gave Marechiyo the same heart-pounding feeling he had when facing his captain.
This puzzled Marechiyo.
After all, his captain, Suì-Fēng, wasn’t just the captain of the 2nd Division but also the Commander of the Executive Militia and the Head of the Secret Mobile Corps.
These titles alone were enough to showcase Suì-Fēng’s strength.
How could a young Gilgamesh compare to Suì-Fēng?
Marechiyo preferred to believe it was his own misjudgment.
Without thinking further, Marechiyo gritted his teeth, glared angrily at the collapsed Ichirō, and said irritably, “I’ll deal with you when I get back!”
With that, Marechiyo didn’t hesitate and used Shunpo to quickly chase after Vimana.
As for Ichirō, he was left trembling with only fear in his heart.
Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
Marechiyo was using Shunpo at full speed, darting through the air, but he couldn’t catch up with Vimana, only watching it move further away.
He even had the feeling that Vimana wasn’t at full speed yet.
This frustrated him even more, and he muttered, “Damn it, what is this thing? How can it be so fast? And who exactly is that kid?”
Soon, Gilgamesh piloted Vimana to a deserted area of Inuzuri.
Shortly after, Marechiyo arrived using Shunpo.
Hovering in the air, Marechiyo saw Vimana up close for the first time.
Though he didn’t know what it was, Marechiyo couldn’t help but be amazed.
He swore he had never seen anything so magical, so magnificent, so enchanting, so noble in his life.
It seemed like a miracle of creation, with every part of Vimana fitting together perfectly, giving a sense of perfection.
Marechiyo couldn’t imagine what kind of person could own and pilot such a vessel.
No, wait!
Marechiyo suddenly snapped out of his thoughts and looked up at the King’s Throne on Vimana.
There, Gilgamesh was sitting lazily, smiling down at him.
Gilgamesh and Vimana were so perfectly integrated that while admiring Vimana, Marechiyo had subconsciously seen Gilgamesh as a perfect part of it.
No, more accurately, Vimana possessed its unparalleled nobility because of Gilgamesh.
This feeling, this sense…
For some reason, a single word suddenly filled Marechiyo’s mind.
King!
Then, this word transformed into the image of Gilgamesh.
It was as if the word ‘king’ had taken on its own form.
Under the illumination of the Star of Omniscience and Omnipotence, Gilgamesh saw through Marechiyo’s thoughts directly.
The conquest had already begun.
Seeing the dazed Marechiyo, Gilgamesh spoke slowly, with an authoritative and undeniable tone, “Ōmaeda Marechiyo, come and show this king the strength of the 2nd Division’s vice-captain.”
Marechiyo snapped back to reality.
He knew this was Gilgamesh’s way of demonstrating his power.
Veins bulged on Marechiyo’s forehead as he grew increasingly irritated.
Despite sensing that Gilgamesh was no ordinary figure and unable to gauge his strength, Marechiyo had his own pride.
Who was he? He was the vice-captain of the 2nd Division of the Gotei 13, Ōmaeda Marechiyo!
Angrily, Marechiyo shouted, “Arrogant brat, I don’t know who you are, but I’m not a pushover!”
“If you want to see my full strength, then as you wish!”
“Hope you don’t regret it!”
With that, Marechiyo pointed at Gilgamesh on Vimana and began chanting, “Mask of flesh and bone, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of man!”
As Marechiyo chanted, his spiritual pressure surged, and terrifying spiritual energy gathered in his palm, forming a blazing fireball.
“Truth and temperance, upon this sinless dream, stand!”
“Way of Destruction No. 33: Sōkatsui!”
With a shout, the fireball in his palm transformed into fierce flames, blasting towards Vimana.
Boom!
The sound of a massive explosion echoed with smoke filling the air.
Hearing the explosion, Marechiyo couldn’t help but wonder, ‘Did it work?’
Before he could think further, the smoke cleared, revealing the intact Vimana and the fleeting light screen that had blocked Sōkatsui.
Marechiyo’s pupils shrank as he stared in disbelief.
Gilgamesh said nothing, merely watching Marechiyo with his calm crimson eyes.
Marechiyo gritted his teeth and said, “Kid, you asked for this. Hope you don’t die!”
With that, Marechiyo raised his hand again, aiming at Gilgamesh on Vimana, and chanted with more intensity, “Scattered beast bones, crystal red tower, steel wheels. Move and become the wind, stop and become calm. The sound of warring spears fills the empty castle!”
“Way of Destruction No. 63: Raikōhō!”
