Bleach: The Captain of the Fifth Division Becomes Stronger Through Training.

Chapter 370, 379: Once again, once again... Sing my name!

goo...

Hyobu Ichibei's body was forcibly lifted inside.

His surprise was undisguised; he seemed completely absorbed in the strength displayed by the other party.

at the same time.

He was completely powerless to resist.

The stripped-away 'black' symbolizes Ichibei Hyosube's power, which has been completely extracted at this moment and become part of Yhwach.

Literally, there is no way to retreat.

In the final moments, all that Hyosugu could see were those cold, indifferent eyes, as if scrutinizing the flesh and blood in front of the vendor, revealing a cold and lonely gaze.

I am Yhwach.

The person who is about to take everything from you.

Snapped! ! !
With a deafening roar, Bingzhubu's body splattered, turning into bright red blood foam.

"Uncle Monk..."

Ichigo Kurosaki, standing not far away, wore a rather tense expression.

Beside him, Ishida Uryu frowned slightly, and reached into his robes as if he had grasped something.

Aizen Sousuke turned slightly to the side as if nothing was amiss, seemingly unsurprised by the outcome...

Everyone made their own judgments and took action.

Only.

Only one person...

At this moment, he not only showed no reaction, but his eyes were also blank, revealing a slightly dazed expression.

Shizuya Arima.

His gaze was fixed, and he wore an expression of shock, or even bewilderment.

memory……

A large amount of memory.

With the passing of Hyosube Ichibei, the image of him flooded his mind with overwhelming force.

Shizuka Arima also needs to process this information; he needs time to adjust...

Yhwach seemed to sense something.

However, some people didn't give him much room to think.

"Where are you looking?"

Aizen Sousuke's voice came from behind, causing Yhwach's pupils to tremble slightly...

They began to capture the changes and trends in the timeline once again.

“Aizen Sousuke…”

Muttering his opponent's name, Yhwach raised his right hand and dispersed the torrent of spiritual energy that his opponent had gathered. His tone carried a chilling undertone.

"What are you hiding?! You bunch of guys... what are you plotting with that bastard Hyōsukebu?!"

Wearing a straitjacket, Aizen Sousuke remained calm, showing no sign of panic even though he was at a disadvantage in the current battle.

Because the person involved understands.

Yhwach's omniscience and omnipotence will temporarily cease to be effective at this moment.

This is true.

At this moment, the tyrant was doing everything in his power to try and uncover the other party's secrets.

but……

Can't do it.

Regarding Aizen Sousuke's future, there is currently a hazy, unclear area covered by a barrier!
Why does this happen?
Even Yhwach, the progenitor of the Quincy, was unable to make any judgment at this moment.

After all, he had no idea what was happening at that moment... Under the cover of omniscience and omnipotence, why were there things that he could not see?
"What is it like to briefly return to the perspective of a mortal, Yhwach?"

"Noisy!!!"

Faced with such ridicule, Yhwach was speechless, but that did not stop him from revealing his malice.

"Killing you will not change anything in the future!"

A Hymn to the Sanctuary!!!

A bright blue light spread across the sky, and the previously pieced-together Unreversible Great Killing Ridge disintegrated in an instant—Yhwach was not accustomed to using power that did not belong to him, and if it were not for the purpose of bullying Hyosugi, he would not have bothered to use such a thing.

Having used his power again, the azure torrent that erupted at this moment was about to engulf Aizen Sousuke in an instant.

"..."

No words.

At this moment, the only way to show that Aizen Sousuke is not having an easy time is by adopting a posture of struggling to hold on.

And not far away.

"Mr. Arima?!"

Kurosaki Ichigo's concern for Arima Shizuya was evident in his words.

Before he could do anything, Ishida Uryu stepped forward quickly and urged him on.

"Arima Shizuka is fine, it's just that our previous backup plan is starting to take effect... Kurosaki, our task now is to stall this guy as much as possible."

Uryu Ishida seems to have made some preparations.

Is all of this related to Shizuka Arima?

Clearly, Ichigo Kurosaki was the one who was kept in the dark again... but now was obviously not the time to lose his temper.

Kurosaki Ichigo could only swallow the few remaining words he wanted to say and was about to rush off into the distance.

But then he heard the person beside him suddenly let out a muffled groan.

Plop.

At that moment, Shizuka Arima knelt down on the ground.

The sudden change was indeed a cause for concern, but for the person involved, his attention was entirely focused on this newly emerging 'voice'.

who is it?

someone...

Deep within his mind, a series of whispers emanated.

'call.'

'Call upon me...'

My name is [my name/title].

For a fleeting moment, Arima Shizuka was in a daze, but the thoughts that followed made her call out that name without hesitation.

——Ichibei of the Military Headquarters.

call……

A biting wind blew in.

As the black light within the shadows began to writhe, the Hyōjubu, like a monster made of clay, silently emerged.

He looked around, then gave Yhwach a meaningful glance before looking away.

"Oh, thank you so much, Shizuya Arima!"

From the perspective of the party that provided assistance.

The person involved at this moment seemed to be completely out of the loop.

He seemed completely unable to understand why the other person would suddenly thank him, and at that moment, he was filled with confusion.

"You, what is this...?"

"I planted a shadow deep in your mind before. Of course, it was definitely harmless to you, otherwise you wouldn't have been completely unaware of it."

He raised his right hand and gestured simply as he spoke.

"See? That's about it. This little bit of spiritual pressure is enough..."

"I am like a paramecium; I only need the slightest opportunity to unleash my potential."

"Of course, the resurrection strength under these circumstances is also quite limited. Trying to fight that guy again is just a pipe dream."

It exists like a nesting doll.

At this moment, even just trying to understand what the other person is saying is a rather difficult task for Arima Shizuya.

"But I don't know you at all..."

"Haha, what a coincidence! Actually, that's what I was thinking too."

Hyosube Ichibei gave a meaningful look and repeated it thoughtfully at this moment.

"Before this resurrection, I really didn't know you."

memory……

This can indeed serve as part of the evidence.

As a reference, whether or not one is aware of something is indeed the basis for making a judgment.

However, at times, memory can become a stumbling block.

For example, right now.

“If I hadn’t erased all memories of you, Yhwach probably wouldn’t have come here.”

Hyosubu raised his right hand with a sigh and gently rubbed his temples.

Although his tone didn't change, it still gave off a strange and terrifying feeling.

and so……

What do you mean?
Not only Yhwach in the distance, but also Arima Shizuka, who was directly involved, felt the same way.

But soon, he wouldn't need to think about these things anymore.

Because Ma Jing also saw the other person's right hand lightly stroking forward. And in the next moment.

The space above the Spirit King Palace began to distort slightly.

As a familiar yet unfamiliar aura appeared, Arima Shizuka also saw a long blade emerge from it.

It is long and slender, sharp and delicate.

Although there were no superfluous decorations, Shizuya Arima could still strangely sense a kind of oppressive feeling called 'deterrence' from it.

This is……

"The Asahi-gata used by the Grim Reaper?"

"That's not all."

Hyosubu added with a smile.

"This is also your Zanpakuto, Arima Shizuya."

So, now...

"We need to return it to you. Please keep it safe."

The Zanpakuto lunged at Arima Shizuya in an instant.

In the latter's eyes, he saw a blurry figure looking at him with teary eyes... running towards him.

"Fool!"

At the same time, a shout came.

Arima Shizuya was hit in the head by the opponent's punch.

Since it is something like a spirit, it naturally cannot feel pain.

However, the large amount of memories that followed... made the person involved look dazed.

century.

A memory that has lasted for a century.

The various aspects of Soul Society, the bonds with others, one's own resolve, and even the sorrow of one's Zanpakuto...

Everything.

Like rivers flowing into the sea, they surged wildly and uncontrollably towards Arima Shizuya at this moment.

Memory is like a tower that is constantly being built up.

At this moment, on the foundation of this place called 'Arima Shizuya', countless fragments are frantically piecing themselves together.

With incredible speed, it completely reshapes the other person's perception and mind.

At this moment.

He is none other than Arima Shizuya, without a doubt.

Past, present, Future.

The three phantoms overlapped and collided at that moment, causing Arima Shizuka to slowly close her eyes.

With the revival and fusion of memories, many unknowns are resolved and much confusion disappears.

Yhwach, who was in the distance, couldn't help but look over, but behind his eyes... all he could see was a foggy, chaotic scene.

why?
Why are there things in this world that even the omniscient and omnipotent cannot know?!
Unless that is...

A moment of choked emotion.

But deep down, Yhwach was vehemently denying this very idea.

That's impossible. If it were true... wouldn't my existence become a joke?!

Unless—Shizuya Arima possesses the methods of the Spirit King.

……

"Hey! Idiot!"

I heard a familiar call.

Arima Shizuka also half-raised her head and saw the familiar sword spirit, who was standing with his arms crossed over his chest, looking down at her.

The emotions in his eyes were quite complex.

It contains condemnation and anger. It also hides sadness and pity...

And the largest portion.

It is also an outline called 'reflection'.

Do you know how long I've waited?

"...I'm not quite sure."

"It'll take a long time anyway!"

This guy leaped up and jumped behind Arima Shizuya, wrapping his left arm around the other's neck as if he wanted to strangle him, revealing a snarling expression.

"What kind of guy is you?!"

"He abandoned his companions without a word, saying he was going to save the world..."

"And what about yourself?! Does the world stop turning without you?! Didn't I already say that before?!"

I.

I hate seeing you injured.

The spirit of a Zanpakuto is itself a reflection of the wielder's inner self.

In other words... deep down, Shizuya Arima was trying to escape and wanted to avoid conflict as much as possible.

however.

"You've lived against your own conscience all this time!"

"Don't you ever get tired? People don't even say thank you to you!"

"Do you know how many people at Wang Yue's place in Nimei House ridiculed me? Everyone said I was an abandoned sword spirit, an unwanted guy!"

There are so many things I want to say.

But the more you confide in someone...

The more agitated one becomes, the more intense their emotions become.

Amidst soft sobs and choked whimpers, Shizuka Arima raised her right hand at that moment.

She gently patted the arm that was wrapped around her neck.

"I'm sorry... I've wronged you."

Those who are favored are confident.

This statement is perhaps perfectly normal in the present day.

The long wait and grievances were finally put to rest, and even the weakest person would stand up again after squeezing out their tears.

The Zanpakuto has returned to its wielder.

Their souls resonated and merged, unleashing the power that originally belonged to them.

It's perfect...

?
Perhaps not.

But at this moment, it is enough to unleash all of one's abilities.

The raging spiritual energy turbulence exhibited a wave-like trend, and at that moment, Arima Shizuka was also holding her Zanpakuto.

Finally, that familiar and confident smile appeared on his face.

"Awaited."

—Yes, how long did you wait?
Having been hit several times and with blood starting to spill from the corner of his mouth, Aizen Sousuke finally revealed a happy smile.

at this point.

There was only one sentence I could say.

"Welcome back, Shizuya-kun."

Yhwach had now completely focused his attention on Arima Shizuya.

Kurosaki Ichigo and Ishida Uryu quickly moved the prison guards away, and even the monk with the eye scrambled back to the inner sanctum area.

At this moment, the empty stage is now empty except for the two of them.

"What exactly are you planning..."

Faced with Yhwach's questioning, Arima Shizuka simply smiled calmly.

"It's too complicated to explain, you can just watch it."

Then.

"It's about to happen."

Sagara Ryu, standing behind Arima Shizuya, was in high spirits.

She remained close to him, like a couple deeply in love, giving him the most passionate response at that moment.

"Oh! It's been a long time... let's do it one more time!"

"Huh? You really want it?"

"Isn't it precisely at times like this that you need to shout it out loud?! You idiot!"

"Okay, but I'm a little embarrassed, could you please cooperate?"

"There's really nothing I can do about you!"

The man and the sword spirit stared at each other for a moment, then revealed hearty smiles in unison.

"Come, once more, once more...sing my name!"

"Awaken to your true self, Sagara Dragon!"

The spiritual energy that had been spiraling upwards began to bloom, and at the last moment, both sides shouted in unison.

"Bankai - Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils: Dragon Clan!!!" x2
