The Alchemist in Bleach

"Sigh~"

"call!"

"boom!"

Three voices rang out almost simultaneously!

The first sound was the sound of the hidden black cavity opening, and the second sound was the sound of the wind stirred up by Zhi controlling Zero to quickly pass by Ichiro and the others!

The third sound was Zero's punch landing on Vasto Lorde's face behind the Black Hollow!

Seeing this, everyone nodded. Judging from the small, it was indeed worthy of fighting Vastod, regardless of its power. With this speed alone, they were ready to fight Vastod. Thinking this, they took a step and followed him out of the dark cave.

"Roar!!!" Outside, Vastod Istra, whose sleep had been disturbed by Zero's punch, roared to the sky, his dark golden eyes fixed on the blue and white, slender Zero. "Bastard! I'm going to kill... Holy shit!"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the captain and his entourage walking out of the dark chamber one by one. Instantly, all his temper vanished, and he turned and ran!

As a Vastod, Istra wasn't the kind of guy who lacked discernment. Although the old man in the lead looked incredibly weak, there were one or two extremely fierce ones standing behind him. Only an idiot would think he was weak!

Therefore, his first reaction was to run!

However, how could an enemy targeted by Zero possibly escape?

"Chirp~"

Zero spread his arms, and instantly, a bubble shining with spiritual light appeared. Then, it suddenly contracted and collapsed like a black hole. At the same time, in front of the Hollow Istra, the bubble spun out in the opposite direction, and Zero's figure suddenly appeared!

"Sound rings out!"

Upon seeing Zero appear in front of him, Istra immediately turned around without thinking. Fighting was out of the question. He hadn't seen clearly before, but now he could. The guy standing behind that frail old man was none other than the guy who had caused a ruckus in Hueco Mundo a few years ago and was renamed Mad Star.

Even he was standing behind that old man, how could such a being be weak?

So all he wants to do now is run away; he doesn't want anything else!

however……

No response!

The message keeps getting blocked!

Istra stared at Zero, which was floating silently in the air not far away, with a grim expression. He could clearly sense that the reason why the response failed was due to the mech in front of him!

On the other side, the Captain-Commander also noticed the problem, his eyes slightly opened, and he looked at Ichiro beside him with a puzzled expression.

Ichiro smiled faintly, looking at Zero and Istra who had started to fight, and explained: "What Zero just demonstrated were spatial jump and spatial static force field. Spatial jump is easy to understand. It is a spatial movement footwork designed to mimic the sound of the spinning top. In addition to the spatial movement method, a set of movement methods was also designed based on the instant step."

A spatial stasis field can initially disrupt the surrounding spatial order, preventing the activation of the Resonance. Therefore, this is how it works in combat against the Void: a spatial jump is used to approach, followed by the simultaneous deployment of the spatial stasis field. This gives us a speed advantage, and the initiative—whether to attack or retreat—is entirely in our hands.

The Captain-Commander nodded. This tactic is acceptable. The weakness of the Shinigami against the Hollows lies in their Shunpo and Sonito. If we don't talk about mastery, Sonito is faster than Shunpo.

But as long as the Reiken is banned, the Grim Reaper will have the upper hand, just like Zero and Istra at this moment.

With his Gundam-style Shunpo, Zero manipulated Istra with his extremely agile movements, inflicting injuries on him to expand his advantage while constantly collecting Istra's combat data to refine his combat program.

Of course, Zhi did not let his guard down. He knew very well that the advantage he had at this moment was not a real advantage; at most, it was just a way to wear down Istra's condition.

Firstly, Istra was still thinking of escaping and had not actually engaged in battle. If they were to fight seriously, it would not have been so easy for him.

Secondly, it's because Istra hasn't activated his abilities yet!

This is what Zhi is most wary of, because when the strength is similar, one careless move can really lead to a complete reversal and a decisive defeat!

For example, Soi Fon's Suzumebachi two-hit kill can really kill someone if they are unaware of it. Even if they know and defend against it, Soi Fon also has Fullbring: Half of Everything, which turns the two-hit kill into a one-hit kill!

Therefore, having access to Ichiro's database, Satoshi naturally knew the terrifying nature of some strange abilities and couldn't possibly be unprepared.

However, this kind of grinding is fine. Once all the data has been collected, it will be time to end it!

Unfortunately, Istra didn't give him that chance. After a few exchanges, seeing Ichiro and the others watching from a distance, he realized, "So you guys are here to train your troops?"

With this thought in mind, Istra was furious!

Rage surged, Istra Crocodile opened its mouth slightly, gathered crimson spiritual pressure, and unleashed a Cero!

"boom!"

"Canopy!"

The crimson flash pierced through Zero's protective barrier and struck the machine directly!

Not only was it slammed into the ground, creating a large crater, but the area on its right shoulder where it was directly hit also showed some damage. This sight made the captain and his men frown; this defense was rather weak.

However, after glancing at the confident Ichiro beside them, they suppressed their doubts. Zero must have more than just these tricks up his sleeve.

As expected, Zero easily got up from the ground and quickly rose to a higher position, charging towards Istra to continue preventing her escape. At the same time, to everyone's astonishment, the damaged part on Zero's right shoulder fell off and was replaced by an identical silver part. This silver color quickly covered Zero's body, and in the blink of an eye, Zero transformed from a blue and white mecha into a mecha with a silver sheen all over, looking much more sophisticated!

And that was indeed the case. When Zero fought Istra, who was like a lizardman, again, even the onlookers could clearly feel that Zero was different.

Not only is it stronger, but its defense is also extremely high!

This was evident from the sounds of their battle and from Istra's subtle movements. The fact that such a change in color could lead to such a significant improvement made them look at Ichiro with renewed curiosity.

Seeing the curiosity in everyone's eyes, Ichiro smiled helplessly and said, "What's so hard about saying this? Will saying it make him able to target Zero? It's actually very simple. Zero only has one change: he just added a special coating, which makes his defense stronger and more durable. As for his attack power, that's just an illusion."

"An illusion? What do you mean? Did you use an illusion?"

"Illusion? Of course not. The Bursting Machine was created to counter Vasto Lorde Hollows. What would it mean if it had the ability to use illusions? Wouldn't we be doomed if we encountered a Hollow immune to illusions?"

"Why is that? Judging from the appearance of this Vasto Lorde, its attack power is obviously stronger."

Faced with Ukitake's question, Ichiro smiled and shook his head, explaining, "With the same force, would it hurt more to be hit on your nose or your arm?"

"You mean, weaknesses? But how could there be so many?" Ukitake was somewhat skeptical. Ichiro's statement was correct, but it was only theoretical and practically impossible.

Someone had tried this idea before and created a corresponding free-for-all, and then that person died a terrible death.

"How could it be impossible to have so many? The body is a sophisticated yet rough system. It is constantly in operation. Once a certain link goes wrong, the body will have problems, such as getting sick or injured. Therefore, Zero's attack is actually very simple. Every strike hits the key points in the operation of this Vastod's body. So it's not that Zero's attack has become stronger, but that Zero has a new 'helper'!"

"Is this kind of thing... even possible?"

"Yes!" Chunshui answered this time, a sentiment he deeply understood.

In the arena, Istra, who was fighting Zero, also heard Ichiro's analysis, but as Ichiro said, what good is knowing? This is power in all its glory!

He also discovered this and tried to deal with it many times, such as changing his power exertion method and combat habits, but none of them worked. The spiritual computer shaped with the Dream System as its core has super strong computing power.

In addition to the data collected previously, Istra is now completely outmatched by Zero in close combat!

Especially when it was determined that he was a lizard, not a dinosaur, the calculation became even more accurate!

Although those were just their illusory forms and didn't actually become those animals, their fighting habits could be roughly deduced based on their limbs. For example, at this moment, there was an 83% chance that Istra would use its tail whip, a 13% chance that it would kick, a 3% chance that it would fire another Cero, and the last 1% was incalculable, which Ichiro deliberately left out to represent infinite possibilities.

For example, at this moment, when Zero made the corresponding preparations according to the algorithm, the moment his tail struck him, there was a loud "boom"!

Its tail exploded!

Yes, its tail exploded!

And it's quite powerful!

The silver coating was completely destroyed, 30% of the machine was severely damaged, 60% was slightly damaged, and a large amount of highly corrosive spiritual pressure had seeped into the machine, causing damage at all times.

This situation startled Zhidu, as it was extremely rare. Undoubtedly, this was Istra's ability, but that's why Zhidu was stunned. One of the requirements for advancing to the Void level is that the soul cannot be damaged, and the tail doesn't look like it's without a soul.

Fortunately, although Zhi has its own independent consciousness, it is still primarily an intelligent life form. For it, data is the most important thing. Therefore, it quickly adjusted its state and activated the ultimate weapon of the Burst God Machine when Istra attacked again!

Mimicry Vastod Wild Gorilla Mode!

"Boom!"

A deafening roar emanated from Zero's wrecked machine, and crimson spiritual pressure overflowed from it. Its blue eyes turned an evil red, making it look extremely eerie.

This made Istra pause, somewhat hesitant to approach. Firstly, Zero was rather intimidating in its current state; secondly, perhaps it was just his imagination, but he sensed the presence of an "old friend" atop Zero...

Seeing Zero's body rapidly recovering, Istra's dark golden pupils narrowed. A thought struck her, and her newly grown tail flicked, instantly detaching and shooting towards Zero!

At the very moment of imminent contact, Istra detonated it!

"boom!"

Looking at the energy cluster not far away and hearing the roar in his ears, Istra's lips curled up slightly. This was the best way to release the energy he had summarized after countless battles, and sooner or later it was possible to deal full damage.

However, the next moment, his smile froze on his face...

Not far away, the energy cluster that should have expanded rapidly and produced an even more powerful explosion began to collapse quickly, as if it were being absorbed by something. This familiar scene filled Istra with a strange fear!

This fear is etched deep into the soul!

That bastard, shouldn't he be dead already?

As Istra was puzzled, not far away, Zero, whose body was radiating a blood-red spiritual pressure, slowly walked out of the crater. An extremely powerful spiritual pressure emanated from Zero!

Feeling that familiar spiritual pressure, Istra's face not only looked rather pale, but her body was even trembling slightly!

With an unusually grim expression, Barragan, far away in Las Noches, uttered the same name—a name that had once made countless Adjuchas tremble...

"Moyasi Neuer?!" X2

------------

Chapter 210 What made me realize that I had broken free from the illusion of a mirage?

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

In Las Noches, the reborn Szayelaporro noticed Barragan's unusual expression and asked curiously. Since his strength had not yet recovered after his rebirth, he was currently only at the Adjuchas level, so it was normal that he could not sense him.

“Moyaxi’s aura has appeared… that bastard is back again!” A murderous glint flashed in Barragan’s eyes, even though he had no eyes.

Barragan hated Ichiro to the core!

So what if he just borrowed a passage? Damn it, how many of his men did they kill? They even destroyed Hueco Mundo! And then they mocked him to his face!

It can be said that Ichiro's battle back then crippled his Las Noches, and he has not recovered to this day. His most capable subordinate, Szayelaporro, was also killed. Although he has been reborn through the contingency plans he made years ago, his strength has been reduced to that of Adjuchas, and he has also lost some of his memories...

Of course, even so, Szayelaporro was still his most capable lieutenant, because only he had brains…8

However, compared to Barragan's anger, Szayelaporro was much calmer. If Ichiro were not Barragan's enemy, he would have liked to have a good talk with Ichiro just because of Ichiro's ability to manipulate the Void Beasts. What is knowledge more important than a mere blood feud?

Of course, this is also related to the fact that he lost some of his memories. In essence, he is just a Hollow with Szayelaporro's memories and abilities. The real Szayelaporro has long since passed away.

Therefore, having a very clear understanding of this, it was really difficult for him to feel any hatred towards Ichiro; he only felt curiosity.

Of course, as a competent henchman, he knew very well how to behave in front of his boss. Therefore, after Barragan finished speaking, a hint of anger appeared on his face. Just as he was about to chime in with a few words...

"I advise you not to act rashly. It's not just Tenshin Ichiro over there; the captain of the Thirteenth Division is there too. If you go, you'll die..."
