The Alchemist in Bleach

Of course, what shocked some of them even more was the name Zhi uttered—Bailergang...

The legendary King of Hueco Mundo!

Could it be that they're going to fight the King of Hueco Mundo?

The Grim Reapers who knew the truth exchanged horrified glances. Surely not?

Given the strength of the three Heavenly Heart Seats, the fact that they were able to mobilize suggests the opponent's strength...

In the special intensive care unit, after recording Linglan's physical data, her friend, who was just a background character, slammed the form on the bed and glared angrily at Linglan.

"What's wrong with you again?" Linglan looked helplessly at her childish best friend.

"cunning!"

"What did I do wrong? Don't just say I'm cunning."

"You know perfectly well what I'm saying!"

How am I supposed to know if you don't tell me?

"Even if I don't say it, you should... Hmm? Why does that sound so familiar?"

"Are you like this too? I thought I was the only one who felt familiar with it... What place... Oh~ the guidebook mentioned it! You absolutely can't say that to Ichiro!"

"Oh right, I almost forgot, the guide also mentioned... but I think..."

"No, no~ I think Ichiro..."

While dealing with her supporting actress best friend, Linglan's lips curled up slightly. "Little brat, trying to fight me? An ally?"

Nonsence!

A cat that steals fish!

'Hmph! You cunning fellow~ A girl's occasional display of naivety can greatly win Ichiro's favor, didn't expect that, did you? Did you really think I'd share the whole strategy guide?'

The two, each with their own thoughts, suddenly met eyes, then simultaneously exchanged a meaningful smile, neither noticing anything amiss in the other...

.......

On the other side, Ichiro was unaware that after he left, the two people engaged in a fierce battle on some level. At this moment, guided by the mark secretly planted on Tosen Kaname, he had already crossed the dark boundary and arrived above the new Hueco Mundo!

High in the sky, the fierce wind rustled the clothes of Ichiro and his companions. Looking down at the Hueco Mundo that was beginning to riot, Ichiro's eyes were somewhat cold.

"Yueling, Zhi, Barragan and Stark are yours to deal with. You can decide how to distribute them. You don't necessarily have to kill them. Aizen's strength can also be helpful to our future plans. A big disturbance is enough. I'm going to ask Tosen for them."

"Yes, Father!"

"Leave it to us!"

"call out!"

Ichiro nodded, and his figure vanished instantly.

Seeing the two powerful spiritual pressures hurtling towards her from below, Yue Ling raised an eyebrow. They were stronger than before. So these were Arrancar? Interesting.

Yue Ling looked at Zhi beside her, and Zhi nodded and boldly opened his arms!

"War Fortress! Fully Deploy!"

“Zizzizi~~~”

As Zhi spoke, a massive curtain appeared behind him, then slowly parted to reveal...

A dense array of cannon barrels!

"A trillion stars! A trillion cannons! Let us encourage each other here!"

"That's... Oh no! Defense!" Barragan, who was rushing towards them, paled at the sight. This scene brought back some unpleasant memories; his Las Noches had once been attacked on this scale...

Therefore, he was well aware of the power of these things!

Without any hesitation, Barragan went all out, instantly releasing his blade and transforming into the Skull Emperor form!

"Death Curtain!"

Dark death energy surged from Barragan's body, forming a massive barrier in front of Las Noches!

"So decisive? Seems to have left a deep impression~" As she spoke, Yue Ling raised her slender, white hand, palm facing the Death Curtain, and softly chanted, "Anti-Ghost Killing - Death Curtain!"

"collapse!"

Suddenly, Stark's pupils contracted sharply as he stared intently at Moon Spirit!

What was that enormous and imposing spiritual pressure just now?

However, before he could delve into the Moon Spirit's extremely unique spiritual pressure, the death canopy that had risen in front of him by Barragan completely disintegrated into countless spiritual particles before it could even intercept the cannonballs!

"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"

The barrage of cannons swept past the pensive Stark and the horrified Barragan, crashing heavily onto Hueco Mundo!

Skyscrapers are collapsing, and the void is roaring!

The rampaging spiritual particles further ignited the bloodlust hidden deep within the souls of the Hollows. Coupled with the influence of some special spiritual particle shells mixed in with the bombardment ammunition, the Gillians, who had lost the suppression of high-level Hollows, began to go mad!

Crimson flashes streaked across the sky one after another!

The crimson Cero ripped through the sky, and also struck Barragan and Stark... The two Hollows were stunned, their faces somewhat grim. Why did it have to be at this moment?

Why is it always when the other Espada are out?

At this moment, if even one of the Espada were present in Las Noches, they could suppress the rampaging Hollows!

Even if the other party drugged it!

Unfortunately, it's just the two of them now, and their opponent is very strong. They might only have a chance of winning in a two-on-one situation, let alone a one-on-one one...

"I'll deal with the white-haired one, you deal with the robot! Hunt him down, you pack of wolves!"

A streak of light flew out from Las Noches and merged into Stark's body. The white light dissipated, and Stark, dressed in hunter's attire and wielding two pistols, rarely showed a serious look in his eyes. He raised his hand and fired a blue Cero at the Moon Spirit!

"Don't try to order me around!"

"Death Wheel!"

Although Barragan disliked Stark's incredibly natural command, he only said it, but his actions were not slow at all. He swung his axe directly at Zhi.

Although he disliked Stark's command, he knew very well that Stark's decision was correct. His death powers were clearly more suitable for dealing with the Intelligence, which used material attacks, rather than the Moon Spirits, who casually destroyed his Death Veil.

"Spiritual particle disintegration force field!"

"Anti-Ghost Mutual Kill - Death Wheel!"

Unfortunately, they couldn't decide who attacked whom. Zhi instantly deployed his mech, transforming into Zero to block the attack for Yue Ling. At the same time, he wielded a giant cannon in each hand and began exchanging fire with Stark!

"Let's go for a gunfight!!"

"Damn it! Is this how my enemies feel?" Stark muttered to himself as he exchanged fire with Chi.

'Is this some kind of anti-ghost killing? Do you really think I'm uncultured?'

Watching the disintegrating Death Wheel, Barragan looked at the expressionless Moon Spirit and felt a sense of unease. This seemed to be someone who manipulated the rules, and moreover, seemingly a very powerful set of rules...

At the very least, his rule-based abilities are definitely greater than his death power!

Chapter 269 My Best Friend Aizen!

"Tap~ Tap~ Tap~"

As Higashisen Kaname raced along a long corridor inside Hueco Mundo, he stopped in alarm upon hearing slow, leisurely footsteps. He recognized the spiritual pressure emanating from the newcomer…

“Tenshin Ichiro…it really is you…” Although his eyes had lost their sight, Tosen Kaname’s heart was not. The light he longed for guided him. He stared intently at the darkness ahead, while his right hand gently rested on his Zanpakuto.

"That's right, it's me. How should I put it? I don't want to waste words. Come with me, or be taken away by me."

"..." Tosen wanted to say something arrogant, but when he sensed the terrifying spiritual pressure contained in Ichiro's body and his splendid battle record, he couldn't say anything. He could only grip his Zanpakuto tightly and show his attitude through his actions!

"Sing out, you cleansing insects!"

"Eliminate Insects II - Red Locust!"

With a flick of his hand, Tosen Kaname summoned several ring-shaped swords radiating white light, which instantly appeared in front of him and shot towards Ichiro!

"Pfft~ Tear~"

Unfortunately, Kaname Tosen, who was not good at direct combat, found his attacks particularly weak when facing Ichiro, whose spiritual pressure was superior to his own. Several Ryujin blades only managed to sever Ichiro's outermost captain's haori.

"Tsk~ As expected, the quality of what I made is really just so-so. It seems I'll have to find a way to get Senju Maru to make one when I get back. But I wonder what that guy likes?"

Compared to Tosen's serious demeanor, Ichiro was much more relaxed, even having time to think about what to do after returning. Of course, this wasn't because Ichiro had bad habits; he always adhered to the principle of strategic contempt but tactical seriousness, taking even a low-level Hollow seriously.

The reason for this lapse in concentration is simply a habit; underestimating the opponent will anger them, and anger can lead to mistakes, especially for someone like Tosen Kaname who excels in strategic combat, where anger has a greater impact.

Of course, as a master of tactics, Tosen Kaname's mentality was also very stable. He did not get angry or underestimate Ichiro because of Ichiro's contempt, nor did he think of using this to scheme against Ichiro.

Because he always remembered one thing: Ichiro's records showed that during his time at the academy, he was extremely skilled at using tactics to win!

Moreover, he saw similar traits in Ichiro, both of them having dirty hearts...

If they actually did that, who knows who would be outmaneuvering whom?

Therefore, seeing that the Red Flying Blade had no effect, Tosen immediately activated his Bankai without any hesitation!

Although Crimson Flying Blaze itself isn't a powerful direct attack skill, the fact that it couldn't even break through the defense shows a significant difference in skill level.

"Clear Insect Final Form: Enma Cricket!"

A pitch-black barrier instantly opened, enveloping Ichiro and Tosen Kaname within it!

Within the barrier, sensing his own condition, Ichiro raised an eyebrow. So this is the Bankai Tosen wanted? Interesting indeed~

Of course, it's only interesting~

Bankai: Enma Cricket: Creates a space that obliterates all of the enemy's five senses except for touch.

In the original work, Tosen's ability to defeat the Masked Captain and Vice-Captain in one blow proves his extraordinary strength. However, he is no match for Kenpachi Zaraki, who is fearless and enjoys the thrill of killing; this is Kiyomushi's limitation.

Simply put, this thing is not very useful for people with strong intuition, because intuition is the power of the mind, not the senses of the body.

While Ichiro doesn't possess Kenpachi's terrifying combat instincts, he has his own methods of dealing with situations. In other words, every top-tier swordsman has their own way of coping.

Slowly drawing his Zanpakuto from his waist, Ichiro chuckled softly and vanished in an instant!
