The Alchemist in Bleach

This can actually be seen from his Bankai; the biggest change is in his body, not his Zanpakuto.

"So, your...emmm state is just imitating Kenpachi's instinct?"

"Not entirely. Also, I call this the Yachiru style... uh, the Sword King mode." Sensing the captain's death stare, Ichiro quickly changed his words, "I still don't understand what Kenpachi's strange fighting instincts are all about. I can't imitate them. I can only say that the concept is similar. Daily sword practice is to make the body more adapted to the power generation techniques of a certain sword technique, so that it can be used quickly in battle."

"And the principle of the Eighth Sword King Mode is to directly transform the body into the form it takes after years of sword practice. This makes the power generation techniques of swordsmanship as effortless for me as walking, sitting, or lying down. Now I only need to use swordsmanship appropriately, and in this aspect, I'm not bragging, I'm very strong!"

Looking at Ichiro's arrogant face, the captain was somewhat amazed by Ichiro's ideas and abilities, but also speechless. So in the end, you still don't have any talent for swordsmanship...

Compared to the speechless captain, Kotetsu Isane was much more surprised.

The learning curve is so much lower!

If this could be popularized, wouldn't everyone be a sword master?

Seemingly knowing what Yongyin was thinking, before she could ask, Ichiro explained, "The Sword King Mode isn't without its flaws. It can only be tailored to individual needs because everyone's physical condition is different. There's no uniform template; it can only be deduced little by little, which is a huge undertaking. My current state is the result of more than ten years of hard work."

Furthermore, the Sword King Mode requires me to directly refine the body, something only my alchemy can accomplish. Even in worlds with similar powers, it's impossible to do it independently. Therefore, this alone determines that it can't be popularized, since no one wants someone else to manipulate their body at will.

Yuu nodded in deep understanding. This was a situation that their Fourth Division often encountered. Because Ichiro's incantation-based healing method greatly raised the minimum healing level of ordinary team members, even in the limb amputation team, many people could now heal alone. Needless to say, it was even easier for multiple people. Any three members who had been in the team for more than five years could work together to heal.

However, this has also led to some problems. There are always a few Grim Reapers who, after being cured, experience discomfort and believe that they have been tampered with, which often leads to conflicts.

However, that was actually just a normal bodily reaction, and it recovered after a while.

Unfortunately, not all Grim Reapers have brains.

If even ordinary limb recovery is like this, let alone something involving a complete body modification, it's obvious that it's almost impossible unless you have absolute trust in Ichiro.

"Sigh~ whatever, you're quite capable, so how many sword techniques do you know now?"

"Hmph~ All of it! I've learned everything you taught me, Captain!" Ichiro raised his head, then changed his tone abruptly, bowing and asking obsequiously, "So, Captain, can I change my name to Tenshin Yachiru now?"

This scene made Yuu-on's eyes widen. Ichiro's image in her eyes had completely collapsed. Her lips twitched, and the girlish feelings that had arisen in her heart for Ichiro because of the invitation were completely extinguished.

"No way!" The captain sat back down in his seat and said firmly.

"Um... but my swordsmanship is really strong! Right now! And I know a lot of swords! I think I can live up to this name!"

"No way! I don't care what you think, I care what I think! You can change your name to anything, just not Yachiru!"

"Then why can Yachiru be called Yachiru? Her swordsmanship isn't even as good as mine yet."

"Are you as cute as Yachiru?"

"..." Ichiro was speechless for a moment. He really couldn't compare to that. That mysterious creature was indeed cute. "Alright, then can you teach me a few moves of the Ghostly Sword Technique?"

Upon hearing this, the captain's lips twitched. "You little bastard, your true colors are finally showing!"

What name change? You just want my Ghostly Secret Sword!

"roll!"

The captain's rare roar startled Ichiro and Isane, causing them to tremble simultaneously. Ichiro shrank back, no longer mentioning the Kido Secret Sword, muttered "I'm leaving first," and quietly withdrew from the captain's office.

After coming out, Ichiro looked up at the sky silently, sighed, and failed again. He was careless when he changed the captain's Kido Secret Sword before. He should have waited until he had learned everything before making improvements. Now he couldn't even learn everything!

Secretly plotting his next scheme, he walked towards the general medical center next to the team barracks. The experiment was temporarily over; he should go and help out first.

......

In the captain's office, Yuuto, having regained her senses, handed a document to the captain and asked curiously, "Captain, do you also know swordsmanship?"

"Yes, I learned a little bit about it in my younger years."

"Why don't you teach the three seats of the Heavenly Heart Sect?"

Yongyin's words reminded the captain of his past "sad events," and he couldn't help but twitch his lips. He said through gritted teeth, "What he wants to learn is not ordinary swordsmanship, but the secret swordsmanship of the Demon Path. This... he is not worthy!"

"Forehead......"

After a moment of surprise, Yongyin wisely stopped asking questions and sat down to the side, silently working on the documents in her hands.

.......

A few days later, in Hueco Mundo.

"Moon Spirit, is it really here? Could you have come to the wrong place? I haven't found a single trace." Zhi switched to Zero, carrying Moon Spirit on his shoulder, and flew leisurely over the desert.

The two of them came here to complete the task assigned by Ichiro: to deliver the Hogyoku fragments to Kamui, and at the same time to make a deal with Eva using the remaining Hogyoku fragments.

Now, after wandering around for an hour, Zhi was very suspicious that Yue Ling was lost, otherwise how could she not have been found after an hour!

"Don't rush, fly slowly according to my instructions, and we'll be there soon." Yue Ling patted Zero's iron head, her eyes scanning the surroundings as she calmly directed the AI.

The humanoid Zero, controlled by Zhi, sighed but didn't say anything more, continuing to act according to Yue Ling's instructions.

Because in terms of both age and combat power, he is no match for Yue Ling now, not to mention that Ichiro personally instructed him to focus on Yue Ling in this mission.

He would naturally not clash with Yue Ling.

But believe it or not, just as Yue Ling said, after flying for a while following Yue Ling's instructions, he actually entered a barrier!

Zero turned his head to look at Yue Ling sitting on his shoulder and asked curiously, "Didn't the information say that Father didn't teach them the Ghost Path? Then what is this?"

"It's some kind of special ability. Besides, does that mean you can't learn something if you don't teach it? Hollows themselves have their own knowledge, it's just that they don't know much. They've been able to fight against Shinigami for so long, do you think they're just going crazy?"

"Uh, isn't that right?"

"...Your name is truly well-chosen...Besides calculating, what else can you do?"

"I understand now! Don't think I don't know you're insulting me!"

"Alright, enough nonsense, someone come here, no, someone come here."

Even without Yue Ling's prompting, Zero's reconnaissance system was already excellent. When Yue Ling reminded him, Zero was already prepared for battle.

The flying creature was a short-haired boy wearing glasses. The remaining mask on his face and the black hole in the palm of his right hand revealed his identity—an Arrancar.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" The boy didn't rush to attack because he was very clear about the strength of the girl and the giant iron man in front of him through the barrier.

“We’re here to see Kamui and Eva, not your enemies. You can have them come and see for themselves. Don’t worry, we’ll stay here and won’t move.” With that, Yue Ling patted Zero beneath her, signaling it to deactivate its weapon system, demonstrating their sincerity.

Anyway, this thing starts up very quickly, so there's no need to worry about being ambushed.

"Looking for Mother and Brother Shenwei? Please wait a moment." The boy narrowed his eyes slightly behind his glasses, took a few steps back, and began to contact Shenwei. As for Eva, before he was sure of Yue Ling and the others' identities and intentions, he dared not let outsiders easily contact his mother.

But Shenwei is different; Shenwei is currently their number one combat force!

He once single-handedly repelled several Adjuchas!

After a while, Kamui, who had received the message, arrived. He was wearing tattered clothes, standing barefoot in the air, with messy shoulder-length white hair falling down, and his golden eyes were full of exhaustion.

He has completely lost his former liveliness; clearly, he hasn't been doing well these past few years.

This is normal. In Hueco Mundo, a place where the strong prey on the weak, it would be difficult for him to even protect himself, let alone take care of Eva, who is temporarily unable to fight, and several of his brothers and sisters.

If it weren't for the life-saving measures Ichiro left him, he might have nothing left now.

Standing in the air, Kamui looked at the robot and the white-haired girl on its shoulder not far away, a hint of doubt and excitement flashing in his eyes, because he had seen the sketch of this robot when Ichiro was still alive.

However, years of experience had made Shenwei incredibly calm. Even though he was excited inside, he remained outwardly composed as he looked at Zero and Yue Ling, and asked calmly, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

“Father sent us. You haven’t forgotten him, have you? His name is Tenshin Ichiro.” While Kamui was observing them, Yue Ling was also observing Kamui.

Compared to before, Kamui is undoubtedly much more mature now. Although it's tiring, the more tired he is, the more he can be trained. Kamui has gradually shown some of the demeanor of a strong person, but his spiritual pressure is still a bit lacking. However, it should be soon.

"Father? You are also Father's child?" Facing the direct question from the Moon Spirit, Kamui frowned. This was not good news for him, as it meant that his mother, Eva, had no hope left.

"Not just me, this big guy is too."

"Hello, Kamui, my name is Tenshin Satoshi, you can just call me Satoshi." Satoshi controlled Zero to wave to Kamui.

However, Shenwei was momentarily stunned, staring in disbelief at the massive robot beneath Yueling. This behemoth—was it also his father's child? What had his father endured all these years...?

Seeing Shenwei's expression, Yueling instantly understood what he was thinking and explained, "Don't overthink it. Zhi's situation is the same as yours and mine. We were all created independently by our father. You are the only special one, as you have Eva's power involved."

"Huh? Was Kamui also created by Father? I thought it was..."

Do you think the world would agree to that?

"Well, that's true. But then again, I've had this thought in my head for a long time." As he spoke, Zhi subconsciously turned his head to look around, making sure that Shijie wasn't there, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with Shijie? Shouldn't she be similar to us? Why would she want to be with Father? Isn't that inappropriate?"

“The world is different from ours. She is the product of her father’s Zanpakuto becoming a Shinigami. Given the relationship between Zanpakuto and Shinigami, they are more like brothers. However, since they are of opposite sexes, this kind of development is normal, after all, they are not related by blood.”

"I still don't understand. I feel like you didn't explain it clearly."

"..." A hint of helplessness flashed across Yue Ling's cold face. This guy is really confident..... "Fine, I'll tell you after I figure it out. In exchange, you're not allowed to tell Father World what I did."

"Understood, looking forward to your answer."

"Um... do you have anything to prove your identities?" Kamui, who was opposite the two, interjected.

After listening to their conversation, he had already roughly determined the identities of the two people. However, he was responsible not only for his own safety but also for the safety of dozens of his brothers and sisters. He dared not act recklessly.

"Oh no, it seems Father didn't give us anything to prove our identities. Should we go back first?" Zero shrugged and asked Moon Spirit on his shoulder curiously.

“No need, that’s too much trouble. Besides, frequent entry and exit from the barrier will have some impact on them, and may cause the barrier to be exposed. Proving their identity is very simple.” With that, Yue Ling jumped off Zero’s shoulder and floated quietly in the air. She reached behind her head and gently tugged at her hair ribbon.

In an instant, her long, silvery-white hair cascaded down, fluttering in the wind. At the same time, a magnificent white robe embroidered with gold patterns appeared on Yue Ling, replacing her Death Attack Armor.

"Is that enough proof of our identities?"

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

Chapter 227 Divine Might Returns to the Blade - The Void Sun!

"It's you? Father succeeded?" Kamui looked at Yue Ling in shock. Back when Ichiro was still in Hueco Mundo, he had seen Yue Ling's portrait and learned about the incredible power of the simulated Spirit King from Ichiro.

However, because that power was so magical, Kamui never really believed that something like a simulated Spirit King could be created. Even with Ichiro, Kamui thought he might not be able to succeed.

But now it seems that Ichiro is even stronger than he thought...

"Yes, it's a success, but not a complete success. I haven't reached my full potential yet."

Upon hearing this, Shenwei paused for a moment. After a closer look, he realized that it seemed to differ slightly from the portrait; there was no cursor behind Yueling.

However, none of that matters anymore. What matters is that the information we have is enough to prove Yue Ling and the others' identities. Therefore, Shenwei lowered his guard and prepared to take Yue Ling and the others to the base. Let's sit down and talk things over first. What's the point of being in the air?

However, just as Shenwei was about to greet them, he suddenly stopped, raised his right hand slightly, looked at Yueling with an embarrassed expression, and asked, "Um, should I call you brother or sister?"

Clearly, Shenwei had already remembered that his father had told him that the simulated spirit king had no gender, or rather, its gender depended on its own perception. If it considered itself male, then it was male; if it considered itself female, then it was female.

The boy beside him looked at Kamui in astonishment. Was his older brother blind? It was so obvious. His hair was so long and silver, the same color as his mother's. His features were so soft, his body so slender, and his skin so white. If he wasn't a girl, he could be a boy!

"No, just call me Yue Ling. Gender doesn't matter to me; it's just a change in physical form." Yue Ling was already used to Kamui's awkwardness. She tied her long hair back up as she replied calmly.
