Shūryō

'''Hadō #99. Shūryō' (終了, End'') is a Kidō spell.

Description
The practitioner holds their hands out in front of themselves, the left facing upwards and the right sitting below it and facing downward. Their fingers are stretched out and bend inward towards the palm. Several intricate seals appear on every portion of the body, appearing as black ink that pulses with a purple light every few seconds. The spell activates, generating six thin walls of spiritual energy that seals them into a large box-shaped prison. The user then inverts the seal, putting their right hand above the left. Four massive swords of reiryoku appear on either of the four cardinal directions before proceeding to impale the prison from those same directions. The practitioner shifts the hand seals to a horizontal angle and two large rings form above and below the box. They shrink inward, wrapping themselves around the top and bottom of the box before the user makes the last gesture. The user draws their hands up to face each other and creates a small rectanglular column of energy in the space between their hands. Crushing it activates the final step of the spell, transforming the impaled box into a massive pillar of light that extends far into the sky. The pillar explodes outwards from the center generating a tremendously powerful shockwave that can clear the sky and cause massive tremors through out the Soul Society. Once the spell is complete, the seals on the user's body expand to link up with each of the other seals before extinguishing the soul of the spell caster. Jaromira Dragan states that Shūryō is the most powerful spell because it accomplishes the most simple desire, to destroy.
