Bleach: No cheat codes, he joined Aizen's side.

Chapter 85, Section 84: Count Me In, Let's Make a Melee!

What's that saying again?

"I'm not here to break you up, I'm here to join you!"

Five fiery red dragons burst forth from the ground, enveloping all the ancient Void beings who were engaged in fierce battle and completely unprepared.

Then a dragon's roar resounded, and these ancient Void beings were either killed or seriously injured by Higashino Shuichi's sudden attack.

Meanwhile, Ikeda Yukisa, who was in the most critical position of Higashino Shuichi's attack, also had one of his arms bitten off by one of the dragons.

Without hesitation, Higashino Shuichi used Shunpo to dash forward and strike.

This was an attack technique that had long been ingrained in his bones, but Ikeda Yukisa had far more combat experience than Higashino Shuichi.

Especially in the art of cutting.

Unable to learn Kido and Shunpo, they devoted their entire lives to studying swordsmanship.

You can say they don't have many tricks up their sleeves, but you can't say they're not strong enough.

Because in battle, sometimes all that's needed is a simple, decisive strike.

Seeing that Ikeda Yukisa had blocked his attack with just one hand holding the sword, Higashino Shuichi did not hesitate for a moment.

"Hado #11, Lightning Bolt!"

This is only the eleventh breach, the effect of which is to conduct high-voltage lightning along the object.

Its simple effects make it a very ineffective Kido when dealing with Shinigami (death gods).

Because it is different from white lightning, which directly transforms into a paralyzing effect, but lightning is essentially still an electric current.

If the Shinigami reacts quickly enough, they can simply use a Kido of the same attribute to redirect the lightning.

Therefore, Higashino Shuichi rarely uses it except occasionally when sparring with the Arrancar in Hueco Mundo.

Ikeda Yukisa is clearly not much different from the Arrancar. Since he doesn't know Kido, he has no way to transfer lightning.

The sudden high-voltage electric shock caused Ikeda Kosuke to suffer cardiac arrest and paralysis.

Although he was strong enough to recover from this negative state quickly, Higashino Shuichi was also quite fast.

With a flick of his wrist, he knocked the Zanpakuto from Ikeda Yukisa's hand.

Like a certain boy from Rukongai, this Zanpakuto was also obtained by Ikeda Yukisa from a dead Shinigami.

"You look like you've only been in hell for a short time."

However, instead of showing any surprise, Ikeda Yukisa loudly mocked Higashino Shuichi.

"Grim Reaper, you still don't understand the rules of Hell?"

Higashino Shuichi frowned; he didn't feel he had done anything wrong with his series of attacks.

Isn't the rule of hell that you can be reborn infinitely?
The scapegoat, who was given special powers, might have something that Hideaki Higashino didn't know, but Yukisa Ikeda was clearly not the scapegoat.

"Oh no, we only took Shuichi to deal with those ancient Hollows before, and we didn't let him fight against other Shinigami. He probably doesn't know about that trait yet."

Kenpachi Kuruyashiki, who was watching from a distance, also felt a sense of foreboding upon seeing this scene.

Indeed, Ikeda Kousuke did not keep Higashino Shuichi waiting for long. Just as Higashino Shuichi was about to subdue him and inscribe a divine mark on him with the Seimei Basha.

"Be greedy, roar, be envious, laugh and cry, go mad! Become hellhounds, manifest in this world! Bankai, Demon Possession!"

Ikeda Kosuke even arrogantly spread his arms, allowing Higashino Shuichi to "paint" on his body using the Seiya Basho technique.

Higashino Shuichi listened to the extremely familiar incantation, which was almost identical to Maki Kurato's Bankai, yet with subtle differences. Could one use Bankai without directly contacting the Zanpakuto as a medium?

Higashino Shuichi didn't believe that Ikeda Yukisa was clever enough to use an empty city tactic to deceive him, so he decisively abandoned the half-engraved divine rune and retreated.

Just as he stepped back less than ten meters from Ikeda Yukisa, the Zanpakuto that should have been high in the air, in the state of being launched away by Higashino Shuichi, returned to Ikeda Yukisa's hand in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, the familiar ghostly figure chuckled and climbed onto Ikeda Yukisa's body.

It sent chills down my spine.

First layer, second layer, third layer, fourth layer, fifth layer.

Compared to Maki Kurato, who had to summon and release these demons step by step, Ikeda Kosuke released the final form in one go.

Because he doesn't need to consider whether his body can handle such a trivial question.

At worst, one dies and is reborn.

This is the fighting style of Hell.

Looking at the ghostly figure wrapped around Ikeda Yukisa, which resembled the traditional art of a certain unlucky family in a familiar anime from a past life, the "Susanoo".

Although Higashino Shuichi was surprised, this would not be a reason to stop him from continuing to fight.

"Block the flow!"

He punched the air in front of him.

Previously, Higashino Shuichi was worried that this move would damage Ikeda Yukisa's body and prevent him from engraving the divine mark, but now he thinks he doesn't need to worry about that too much.

He had already witnessed the abilities of the first three stages of the demonic possession. If the fourth stage's ability was to summon this Susanoo-like creature, then this ghostly figure should be quite resilient.

Swords flashed and shadows gleamed.

Possessed by evil spirits is indeed a perfect fit for Ikeda Yukisa's abilities. With the protection of a ring of ghostly shadows on the outside, none of Higashino Shuichi's abilities can harm Ikeda Yukisa inside in the slightest.

"This is very wrong!"

After a series of battles, and with the resurrected ancient Hollows joining the fray, Higashino Shuichi realized the problem.
The ability of Ikeda Yukisa's fifth demon is very likely to help him absorb all the damage.

Otherwise, no matter how strong the evil spirit was, it would not have been possible for any of Higashino Shuichi's wide-range attacks to be ineffective against Ikeda Yukisa, who was hidden among the ghostly shadows.

Black Coffin, Thousand-Handed Heavenly Cannon, One-Sword Cremation, and even the Second Five Dragons Annihilation—all Higashino Shuichi could see was Ikeda Yukisa, who had devoured all of his high-level Hadokyu, laughing wildly inside.

"Because they are in hell, these demons, who are one with hell, can infinitely borrow the power of hell. Unless my spiritual pressure can reach the level of Kenpachi Kuruyashiki or even stronger, directly breaking the demon's limit in one go, he is invincible. That should be the meaning, right?"

Higashino Shuichi felt his condition beginning to decline. Although he had greatly improved his control over his own spiritual particles through training with Kuruyashiki Kenpachi, his sustained combat power was far beyond what he had been able to achieve in the past.

However, facing Ikeda Yukisa and so many ancient Hollows around him, the chaotic battle still left him somewhat overwhelmed.

Higashino Shuichi knew he couldn't drag this battle out any longer. Although his judgment might not be correct, he had no choice but to go all in now.

Success means achieving the established goal and returning in triumph to the Soul Society.

If it doesn't work out, just slink away, taking with you the strength that Kenpachi Kuruyashiki has honed; you won't lose too much.

"Hahaha, Death Kid, out of ideas now! No problem, this is just the beginning. We'll have plenty of time to play in the future."

As Ikeda Yukisa strolled leisurely amidst the Cero bursts launched by the ancient Hollows, he arrogantly taunted Higashino Shuichi, who was keeping his distance from him in mid-air.

Higashino Shuichi did not reply, but his gaze turned cold. A terrifying spiritual pressure gathered and compressed around him like a vortex, carrying with it the power of hell.

"Hado, Hell - Execution Song!"

I managed to snag a spot on Sanjiang (a Chinese e-commerce platform), so even though the average daily subscriptions haven't reached the figure I mentioned before, I'll still try my best to reach 10,000 per day these next few days.
P.S.: Don't get your hopes up too high.
