Both start in hell: but their talents are multiplied a hundredfold.

The intensity of the battle surged to its peak in an instant.

With his Hollowfied form, Ichigo lunged forward at incredible speed, his trajectory no longer following any physical laws, each change of direction creating a white sonic boom in the air.

His attacks were pure, primal violence: slashes with his sword, punches with his fists, and ramming with his horns, each strike carrying a spiritual pressure powerful enough to tear the earth apart.

Black threads surged from the hole in his chest, wrapping around his limbs like living things, causing his already terrifying speed to increase even further.

Shen Jue took half a step back, holding the blade of the Human Game horizontally in front of him.

His movements were precise, each step accurate to the millimeter, and the arc drawn by the blade was simple and elegant.

Ichigo's hand chopped into the blade of the Human Game, and the resulting shockwave hurled hundreds of feet of rock into the air.

Shen Jue flipped his wrist, releasing the force, making a diagonal cut, and thrusting back—three movements completed in one smooth motion.

The tip of the Human Game blade pierced precisely through the Cero that had formed on Ichigo's fist, disintegrating the energy core from the inside.

Ichigo let out a roar, ignoring the blade piercing through his fist, and a black, red, and white energy matrix condensed between his horns, shooting towards Shen Jue's face.

Shen Jue's human games were lightly sketched.

The attack stopped three feet in front of him, not because it was destroyed, but because the "connection" with the target was severed.

"How can one claim to understand the art of cutting if they cannot sever energy?"

Shen Jue looked up at Kurosaki Ichigo's dark golden eyes, which had completely lost their rationality, and his spiritual pressure truly unfolded in the next instant.

The sky darkened, and the clouds were pressed down and distorted.

Ichigo's limbs began to tremble violently, not out of fear—he felt no fear at that moment—but because his body was instinctively resisting a pressure far exceeding his limits.

Shen Jue transferred the Human Game to his right hand, while his left hand's five fingers were slightly spread, and spiritual pressure condensed between his fingers into a blue-white lightning spear.

This is Shen Jue's classic move after imitating Uralzio's second stage of Release Blade, which is comparable to a small-scale nuclear explosion with Thunder Spear.

The first one was thrown, grazing past Ichigo's perfect dodge.

The second arrow blocked the right path, the third arrow struck head-on, and the fourth arrow descended from the sky.

The four thunder spears were not thrown simultaneously, yet they wove together a flawless web of death.

This is a terrifying move that Ulquiorra Cifer can only use after his second release.

Each of Shen Jue's Thunder Spears was precisely restrained within a fixed trajectory, without any chaotic out-of-control movements, only an elegant killing intent condensed from a will forged through countless trials.

Ichigo's body was struck by countless arcs of electricity simultaneously, and smoke rose from all parts of his body.

Fine cracks appeared on the surface of the two hideous horns, and black threads surged wildly from the hole in the chest, trying to repair the injury, but were burned to ashes by the electric arc the moment they left the body.

His body was charred black and mangled, kneeling on one knee, with only his dark golden eyes still burning with an unquenchable, violent light.

Shen Jue walked towards him step by step, her clothes were spotless, without a speck of dust on them.

He gripped the hilt of the Human Game sword with both hands, holding the blade vertically in front of his chest.

The Human Game draws upon the identities of Kurosaki Ichigo and Shen Jue for its enhancement.

Until a character card symbolizing "psychologist" appeared above Ichigo Kurosaki's head.

Shen Jue smiled.

When the blade of the Human Game pierced Ichigo, it was a touch that went on a deeper level than physical pain.

Human Game found the rationality buried deep within Ichigo Kurosaki's heart by his berserk consciousness.

The "Psychologist" character card amplifies and strengthens it, covering every corner of the soul.

The first step is the reorganization of memories.

The fragments scattered in the ruins of consciousness began to be pieced back together: Youzi and Xiali were drawing in the living room, returning to their cherished possessions.

Holding up the poster and grinning foolishly, I archived it for my family.

Rukia's figure sitting in the closet is stored in the Source of Bonds.

The mother's smile as she looked back by the river is placed above all memories, becoming the cornerstone supporting the entire structure.

Then comes the reconstruction of thinking.

Observation, analysis, reasoning, empathy, and decision-making.

These abilities, which had been consumed by the Hollowfication rampage, were unearthed from the depths of his soul and re-granted to Ichigo Kurosaki with several times the strength.

Ichigo Kurosaki saw his own inner world.

The city that was destroyed by Zangetsu and Hakuhoku is being rebuilt. The load-bearing walls are being reinforced and the foundation is being expanded. And the person in charge of all this is Ichigo, who is wearing a white coat, glasses, and holding a recording tablet.

He wrote "Cognitive function recovery rate 97 percent" and "Control is being redistributed" on the paper, then looked up and gave a calm smile.

"Thank you very much, Professor Shen Jue."

Ichigo, covered in wounds, opened his eyes.

The raging killing intent still lingered in his dark golden pupils, but now a layer of clarity had been added to that rage.

Kurosaki Ichigo, who had been transformed into a Hollowfied bull, regained his sanity.

This berserk state has not been lifted; Ichigo's horns still stand erect on his head, and darkness still swirls around the hole in his chest.

But Ichigo was as rational as a normal person at this moment.

Shen Jue drew his sword and stepped back, a geisha character card appearing above his head.

In fact, Shen Jue could designate the identity extraction process after the initial release of the Human Game.

In the past, when he sparred with the old captain, the old captain's fighting spirit was completely extinguished, and it was not because Shen Jue was lucky.

It was Shen Jue who did it on purpose.

Kurosaki Ichigo's figure vanished from the spot.

Shen Jue parried to the right with the Human Game in his hand.

With a clang, Ichigo's fist slammed into the sword.

This time, the rocks around Shen Jue and Kurosaki Ichigo, which were not yet completely shattered, were completely reduced to dust. A sandstorm mixed with various plants and rocks appeared out of thin air where the two were.

Ichigo, now in his Hollowfied form, tumbled in the air, a violent Cero condensing between his horns. It changed direction three times before being launched, sealing off all of Shen Jue's evasive options.

Shen Jue used his spiritual pressure to condense an invisible shield to block the Cero. In the instant the black light obscured his vision, Ichigo's right foot, carrying pitch-black spiritual pressure, slashed down like a battle axe.

The Human Game started from below, and the shockwave from the exploding spiritual pressure destroyed everything around it.

Yoruichi in the air continuously used Shunpo to dodge the aftershocks.

Shen Jue's smile deepened.

After Ichigo Kurosaki's Cero blasts through several mountains, the battle comes to an end.

Ichigo half-squatted on the ground, his horns slowly shrinking, the hole in his chest beginning to heal, and the Hollowfication patterns on his skin fading away one by one.

He transformed back into a human, but the golden light lingered in his eyes for a long time.

Now, Ichigo Kurosaki has not only mastered Bankai, but can also use the Hollowfication mode of his Mind Mode.

Its combat strength is so great that it ranks among the strongest in the Three Realms.

Shen Jue withdrew from the human world game, his whole body was spotless, and even his haori was undamaged.

He nodded in satisfaction.

"Very good, Ichigo. Now you are qualified to say that you single-handedly fought against all but me of the Gotei 13 and rescued Rukia Kuchiki."

"Among the Gotei 13, apart from the Captain-Commander, most of the other captains are no match for you."

Shen Jue exclaimed in admiration.

All I can say is that he's a numerical monster. He truly lives up to his name. In just one or two days, Ichigo Kurosaki's spiritual pressure and combat power have skyrocketed like a rocket.

Although Ichigo has a great father like Shen Jue who gives him crazy power-ups.

But in all the realms of the heavens, which powerful being doesn't have a cheat code?

Besides, once it's opened, it's opened.
