The journey from the Quincy

Page 58

“Sainthood, taking the life and power from the Quincies that are no longer needed and giving it to those who need it, this is the redistribution of power. Those whose power is taken away will die, and those who are given power will gain further power and be reborn.

This is the power of your majesty’s ability. The balance has tilted. It’s time to eliminate the Zero Squad.”

Haschwald drew his sword, pointed it at Wang Yue, and declared battle.

For some reason, Hasward felt that at this moment, his whole body was filled with excessive strength, as if for the first time in his life his body felt so light and his arms felt so strong. He even inexplicably developed a desire for more strength.

No, it should be the desire to obtain the essence of that power. This desire is like the instinctive desire of living things for evolution.

“This power feels so familiar, could it be… Kurosaki?”

Ishida Uryu lowered his head in thought, feeling vaguely uneasy.

And for some reason, some strange images began to emerge in my mind. Among those strange images, there was a scene of myself playing in the yard with Kurosaki Ichigo when I was a child.

What is going on here?

Ishida Uryuu became more and more anxious, as strange images and memories continued to impact his brain.

“It is an evil power that can take away the life and strength of one’s companions to keep oneself alive, or even turn back the aging process to regain youth.”

Nimeiwu Wang Yue narrowed his eyes and looked at Yhwach on the monk’s side. He didn’t really care about the guards whom he had just killed.

“Um… Your Majesty?!”

Only then did Haschwalth notice that Youhabach’s appearance had changed drastically.

“This is really a headache. Did I accidentally steal part of Kurosaki Ichigo’s power? However, just a part of the power has such an effect…”

Hyoshubu Ichibei scratched his big bald head.

He knew very well that Kurosaki Ichigo would definitely come to the Soul King Palace, implicitly following the Soul King’s will.

However, on the way here, Ichigo Kurosaki accidentally delivered a wave of takeout to Yhwach, leaving the cruel monk at a loss for words.

Is this also what Lord Ling Wang expected?

I always feel that the situation has become more complicated.

Originally, Hyoshubu Ichibei thought that a human like Kurosaki Ichigo alone could not defeat Yhwach, and he was too lazy to put in more effort to save time and effort, so he had already begun to think about making Kurosaki Ichigo the new Soul King.

However, after discovering the blood relationship between Kurosaki Ichigo and the alien brat, Hyoshubu Ichibei changed his original idea and wanted to do his best to kill Yhwach, instead of letting Yhwach go with the thought that Kurosaki Ichigo would be the backup of the Soul King.

It’s not that he had a change of heart, nor did he want to please Bai Yuetong and not offend Bai Yuetong, but he guessed that Bai Yuetong’s ability might be able to take effect through blood ties.

If this is the case, unless he captures Byakutsuki Hitomi, all her relatives and everyone related to her in one fell swoop, it would be almost impossible for him to leave Byakutsuki Hitomi aside and make Kurosaki Ichigo the new Soul King alone.

If Ichigo Kurosaki cannot serve as a substitute and take over when needed, then Yhwach must be blocked here, otherwise it will be difficult to find a suitable replacement for the Soul King in a short time.

However, just as he was about to use all his strength and give up the idea of slacking off, Yhwach was greatly strengthened, which made Hyoshubu Ichibei a little confused.

Is this also what Lord Lingwang meant?

Now it was no longer a question of whether he could give his full strength or not. Yhwach in this posture was able to make Hyoshubu Ichibei clearly feel a sense of pressure. He was already visibly powerful, so powerful that he had to put away his contempt.

However, even so, Hyoshubu Ichibei still did not think he would lose.

“No one can take it from me. Everything in the world exists to be taken by me. Even the Soul King is no exception. Kurosaki Ichigo naturally cannot transcend this category.”

The young boy Yuhabach said domineeringly, “However, Ichigo Kurosaki’s power, just a part of it has such an effect, almost transforming a person, which is beyond my expectation.”

Even Yhwach himself was surprised that he could regain his youth with the nourishment of Ichigo’s power.

What was even more unexpected for Yhwach was that Ichigo’s power seemed to be able to slow down his “exhaustion”.

Yhwach was a born incomplete person. He could not see, hear, speak, or even move when he was born. He relied on the abilities of “soul sharing” and “soul recycling” to survive and grow up tenaciously.

However, he has not gotten rid of his congenital defect and must continue to absorb the souls of others, otherwise he will return to the weak state at birth, or even die of exhaustion.

If he could gain Ichigo’s full power, perhaps he would be able to completely eliminate the fear that he was constantly being chased by death and degradation.

However, having already arrived at the Soul King Palace, Yhwach did not intend to jump down from here to find Ichigo to seize power and completely solve his own shortcomings. Instead, he decided to continue with the original plan.

He still has to continue to kill and liberate the Soul King, destroy this abominable world that makes him fear death, and return the world to its original state, the chaotic state without the fear of death!

……

Ichigo, who was about to faint from the pain, fell powerlessly from the sky like an angel with broken wings.

In a daze, he found that he seemed to have fallen onto a soft cushion, and someone seemed to be calling him. He vaguely heard bursts of familiar voices.

“Ichigo, how long are you going to sleep?”

Rukia’s familiar voice made Ichigo shudder and he forced his eyes open.

When I opened my eyes, I saw my familiar companions.

“Rukia? Why are you here?”

Ichigo asked in surprise, “Eh, Chad? Inoue? Miss Yoruichi? Mr. Urahara? You guys…”

“Oh my, Mr. Kurosaki, you finally woke up~”

Urahara Kisuke gently waved his fan, and it was he who controlled the flying carpet and caught the falling Ichigo.

To be honest, he was still a little confused as he was hurriedly transferred to Soul Society by Byakutsuki Hitomi and happened to catch Ichigo.

“It was that bastard Bai Yuetong who asked us to support you. Even a man like him wouldn’t want to see this world completely destroyed by Yhwach.”

Rukia explained, “The flying carpet we are on now will fly to the Soul King Palace unimpeded along the established trajectory.”

In fact, even Bai Yuetong himself was ready to go to the Soul King Palace at any time, but he had to create some time and wait for Ichibei of the Hyoshubu to be killed by Yhwach.

Chapter 123: Monk Hongwen, Youha Cunzhi.

“So that’s it? I understand.”

Ichigo Kurosaki calmed down from his excitement, and his confused eyes became firm again.

He realized that if he couldn’t defeat Yhwach, then he would be unable to protect anything, including his companions in front of him.

Bai Yuetong saw through this point and released his companions at this time. This gave Ichigo motivation and also urged him.

“Ichigo, are you okay?”

Chad asked worriedly.

“Ah, I’m just a little weak. I’ll be fine after a while.”

Ichigo Kurosaki waved his hand and said, “Chad, you’re okay. That’s great. Now we can fight side by side again. It would be even better if that Ishida guy was here too.”

“Kurosaki-san…”

Inoue Orihime seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Shiratsuki Hitomi is the father of Kurosaki Ichigo and Ishida Uryuu, and now I am Shiratsuki Hitomi’s woman, so doesn’t that mean I have become Kurosaki’s stepmother?

In short, Orihime’s mind is a little confused now. She doesn’t understand why Kuchiki-san can face everything so calmly, as if nothing happened. Orihime Inoue is really unable to hold it anymore.

However, whether as Ichigo Kurosaki’s companion or as Ichigo Kurosaki’s stepmother, Orihime will fully support Ichigo and try her best to protect him from getting hurt.

However, Orihime, whose identity and mentality have changed drastically, can no longer have the same feelings for Ichigo as before. She is now Byakutsuki Hitomi’s person, and nothing can go back.

“Then take advantage of this time to adjust yourself. We have a tough battle to fight next. Yhwach has absorbed your power and has become stronger than before.”

Yoruichi reminded, “Be careful when fighting, don’t let others take advantage of the opportunity to absorb your power.”

“I understand, Miss Yoruichi.”

Ichigo nodded, “I will never let anyone take away my power again.”

……

The battle situation in the Soul King Palace became increasingly intense.

“Hundred-step railing!”

Hyoshubu Ichibei rushed towards Yhwach from high above, releasing the Binding Technique that destroyed the Chant, trying to control Yhwach.

“Shell Still Blood Suit.”

Yhwach stood still, a hemispherical shield covered him tightly, and all the flying light sticks were bounced away.

“Li Po Dao San Dao Iron Wind Kill!”

Seeing this, the monk continued to use more powerful ghost arts. A huge golden dragon head condensed in front of him, and the chubby dragon mouth spit out a powerful hurricane, which actually blew away the outer shell of Yhwach’s Static Blood Suit.

At this moment, Youhabach was like a peeled egg in the eyes of the monk. He rushed forward, stretched out his strong arms, and wanted to lock Youhabach’s throat directly.

Unexpectedly, the young Yhwach was extremely fast. He moved behind him in the blink of an eye, raised the Quincy in his hand and shouted in a voice as cold as the wind: “Crescent Moon – Sky Strike -!”

A huge azure crescent moon was released from the pitch-black cross sword of annihilation and slashed towards Hyoshubu Ichibei with lightning speed.

After his body became younger, it seemed that Yhwach’s mentality was more inclined to take the initiative to attack, instead of waiting for the monk to strangle him. When the enemy touched his flesh, he would use the Blood Stasis Suit that could corrode the shell of others to invade the monk’s body.

“what?”

The monk did not expect that Yhwach’s speed could be increased so much. He was unable to dodge in time and was directly cut by the huge crescent moon.

Boom——!

After the loud explosion, the smoke cleared, revealing a monk with tattered clothes, blackened knife marks on his body, and looking extremely embarrassed.

It seemed that Yhwach’s spiritual pressure was too strong. After the monk was chopped, before much blood flowed out, the powerful spiritual pressure of the crescent moon burned the blood stains and even scorched his flesh.

It is obvious that the Shinigami are the ones who mainly use their internal strength to fight, and their basic statistics are much higher than those of the Quincy. However, just now, Hyoshubu Ichibei was completely crushed by the young Youhabach in terms of statistics. No matter in speed or strength, Youhabach is superior to the monk at this moment.

Is the power of Kurosaki Ichigo so great for Yhwach himself?

The monk couldn’t help but frown. He was a special being whose skeleton was reshaped by the power of the Spirit King. It was too absurd that he was in this situation now.

“What’s wrong? Is this the strength of the leader of the God of Death?”

Yhwach looked down at the monk from above, and with a simple wave of his hand, the terrifying sword pressure swept away all the clouds behind him.

That unruly, high-spirited look, and that look of contempt and disdain, all made Hyoshubu Ichibei very angry.

Not to mention that Buddha also has fire, the samurai attributes of Hyoshubu Ichibei himself are far greater than the Buddhist attributes of the monk in appearance.

In the words of Kirinji Tenshiro, that was a guy covered in blood that even he couldn’t wash clean.

“A mere human… I will punish you! Dye it black, Ichimonji.”

Hyoshubu Ichibei had a gloomy face and released his Zanpakutō as soon as they disagreed. Only the whites of his eyes were left, with no pupils, making him look very scary.

“Ok?”

Youhabach couldn’t help but frown.

In his eyes, Hyoshubu Ichibei’s Zanpakutō was in the shape of a brush at one moment, and then the hairs in front of it turned into a blade, changing constantly and making it impossible to see clearly.

“What’s wrong? Can’t you tell whether this is a pen or a knife?”

Ichibei, the commander of the army, sneered.

“Humph, I don’t care whether you have a pen or a knife, just kill him!”

Yhwach instantly released dozens of small holy arrows from the fingertips of his left hand.

Rumble!

The sound of violent explosions continued.

However, Yhwach never expected that this would kill Hyoshubu Ichibei, it was just paving the way for his next action.

He took out the star emblem on his chest, and the scorching spiritual pressure began to spread in the air, making everything dry, and a scorching sun might be rising.

“swastika……”

Before Youhabach could finish his words, countless ink dots shot out from the dust and smoke, wetting the star emblem in Youhabach’s palm and the Quincy Sword in his other hand like dense rain. The ink seemed to have a special power that caused him to freeze and forget his words.

This feeling of being stopped was extremely uncomfortable, and Yhwach’s face suddenly became extremely ugly, as if he was constipated.

“Well, what are you talking about?”

The smoke cleared, and the grinning monk deliberately put his hands to his ears as if listening.

“You don’t know what the name of Genryusai’s Bankai is. No, actually you do know it, but the Bankai that you took away has no name now.”

Hyoshubu Ichibei touched his Zanpakutō and explained, his eyes full of mockery, “Things that are smeared with an Ichimonji will lose their names, and without a name they will be powerless. You want to kill me with that nameless Bankai, that nameless sword?”
