The Alchemist in Bleach

In short, there are all sorts of them. Now that a long time has passed, some have become ineffective, some have been destroyed in battles with the Hollows, and only a small portion of the remaining ones are still effective. Ichiro needs to sort these out slowly.

Fortunately, all of these things are recorded, so I just need to look them up.

With the help of these things, their journey will be much smoother, in every sense of the word.

Before long, Ichiro finished tidying up, looked up, and said, "I'm done tidying up. Do you want to hear good news or bad news first?"

"Good news!" Yachiru, perched on Kenpachi's back, raised her little hand high and shouted excitedly.

"Okay, let me tell you the bad news first."

Yachiru: "???"

"One of my scouts has been triggered. Two Vastodes, ten Adjuchas, and thirty Kyrians—a standard Las Noches squad composition."

Upon hearing this, Soi Fon and Gin nodded, their expressions somewhat grave. To be honest, in this situation, if they were just ordinary people gathered together, they wouldn't be afraid.

Aside from Yachiru, even the weakest among them could hold their own against Vasto Lorde, not to mention the presence of a powerhouse like Ichiro.

What truly made them frown was Ichiro's last sentence.

This is the standard Las Noches squad configuration!

The so-called Las Noches squad configuration refers to two high-level Hollows leading ten lower-level Hollows and thirty lower-level Hollows. The Hollows they lead don't necessarily have to be Vastodes, and of course, he doesn't have that many Vastodes and Adjuchas.

Most of the weaving is led by rational Gillian who command irrational Gillian and lower-ranking Voids, and their numbers are quite considerable.

The combat power of this kind of army group is completely different from that of wild Hollows. If that's the case, then things are going to be a bit uncertain this time. However, just as Gin was about to ask Ichiro for good news, Kenpachi suddenly spoke up amidst the surprised looks of Soi Fon and Gin.

"good news!"

Even Ichiro couldn't help but look at him with surprise. With Kenpachi's intelligence, this shouldn't be the case!

Despite his surprise, Ichiro paused briefly, glanced at him, and replied, "The good news is that both Vastods are artificially created, so they are relatively weaker and have more obvious weaknesses. They cannot withstand high-intensity battles."

"Bad news!"

However, just as Gin and Soi Fon breathed a sigh of relief, Kenpachi suddenly spoke up.

The three of them: "???"

Your reflexes are... too long?

Fortunately, Ichiro and the others didn't have to wonder for long before Yachiru, who was perched on Kenpachi's back, began to explain. She said, "What Kenpachi means is that the first one is good news, and the second one is bad news."

The three of them: "......."

This battle maniac...

"...In short, that's the situation. Whether you fight or not is up to you. Whether you play it safe or go for it directly, don't hesitate, it's up to you. Even if you fail, it's okay, I can just turn back time, it's 100% safe."

"Then why hesitate? Just go for it..." Hearing this, Soi Fon smiled. What was there to hesitate about? Just go for it! However, she suddenly realized what she was saying, and the smile on her face froze. "What...did you say?"

"Time reversal?! Didn't you say it was impossible?" Gin looked at Ichiro in shock.

Even Kenpachi was full of surprise. Even a roughneck like him could understand what kind of power time reversal was!

"You mean that in the meeting? That's the Time Gate. The Time Gate can't travel through time. What I'm talking about now is time reversal."

Seeing Ichiro's nonchalant expression, Soi Fon was speechless. This guy's face was still as infuriating as ever!

Is there any difference?

"Tsk~ You wouldn't understand even if I explained it all. To put it simply, time reversal can only go back to the most recent period of time, from a few minutes to a few hours. More than that is not allowed. Time travel is going back to any point in the past. Time reversal takes advantage of the boundary between the three realms. Simply put, there is a time difference between the three realms, and bugs will appear from time to time. Time reversal is just about exploiting those bugs."

The three of them: "..."

Ichiro: "......"

Seeing the three of them looking blank, Ichiro slapped his forehead. He knew they didn't understand...

"Are you really sure you want to discuss this with me?"

"...Then let's fight. How should we fight?" Yin was the first to recover from his shock. To him, it was not surprising that Ichiro could do anything.

This can be seen from the fact that his strength has never caught up with Ichiro over the years, but has instead widened. This shows that Gin is very confident in his talent.

"I have a plan!"

Ichiro silently glanced at Kenpachi; he roughly guessed what Kenpachi's plan was... just as he expected...

"It's simple. I'll rush in and cut down those two Vastodes, then I'll come back and help you take down the other Hollows!"

The three people: "......"

Ichiro: "Sigh, let's leave it at that for now. Anyway, we have a chance to start over. You two can also watch from the sidelines and see just how strong Vasto Lorde really is. And you won't have it easy either. Adjuchas' strength is no less than that of an average captain. So, Hueco Mundo has really been neglected for too long. We need to seize this opportunity."

Soi Fon and Gin nodded; that's right.

Although the focus of their discussion at the meeting was Vastod, that doesn't mean Adjuchas wasn't important. In fact, Adjuchas posed an even greater threat to Soul Society!

Although the number of Vastodes has increased, most of them are artificially created. As Ichiro said, they are unable to adapt to high-intensity battles and only possess powerful spiritual pressure. In a one-on-one fight, they may not actually be a match for Adjuchas.

But Adjuchas are different; Vastods are few, but Adjuchas are not few!

Their combat strength is truly captain-level, with dozens or even hundreds of captains...

It's easy to imagine how terrifying this fighting force would be when it's all put together!

In the past, although Hueco Mundo had Las Noches and Barragan, the king of Hueco Mundo, their essence was still that of beasts who only knew how to kill. The power of Hueco Mundo had not been effectively gathered. This was the reason why they were sealed in Hueco Mundo by the Shinigami, and also one of the reasons why the Shinigami dared not launch a large-scale attack.

Therefore, it is not easy for Jian Ba ​​to deal with two Vastodes by himself, and it is not easy for them to face Adjuchas either. They cannot afford to be careless.

"Are you ready? I've already set up the spatial teleportation spell. Once you're ready, we'll teleport in directly! Kenpachi will appear between the two Vastodes. One Vastode is an Arrancar, and the other is not. There's also a Hollow that looks like a gorilla, and ten Adjuchas that are not Arrancars. I'll teleport you two directly to the middle of their group. Get ready for battle. The pressure you'll face afterward will depend on how much damage you can inflict at the start. Just let me know when you're ready."

Ichiro held his hands together, palms facing each other, suspended at his chest. Golden runes flowed between his palms. While they were explaining things to him, Ichiro wasn't idle.

"Ready!" Kenpachi grinned, drew his Zanpakuto from his waist, held it with both hands, and Yachiru slid from his shoulder to Ichiro's shoulder.

"Sting them all, bees! Ready!"

"Ready." Gintoki squinted and placed his right hand on his Zanpakuto, ready to draw it at any moment.

"Okay, 3, 2, 1, let's go!"

"Snapped!"

With a clasp of his hands, four golden rays of light instantly enveloped the five people, carrying them away from the place. The next moment!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~"

"Shoot him! Sharpshooter!"

Two golden lights flashed, and Soi Fon and Gin instantly appeared among the ten Adjuchas. In a flash, Soi Fon's eyes narrowed, and her figure swiftly swept past three Hollows. Her golden middle finger, Suzume, also lightly scratched their steel skin, leaving a shallow mark on their bodies.

The next moment, black butterflies appeared on their wounds, and the next moment, white light gradually drove away the blackness, and the honeycomb pattern expanded instantly, devouring the three Hollows in an instant!

Three-headed Adjuchas!

Instant kill!

Half of everything – the Fullbring technique that Ichiro prepared for Soi Fon when they were still in Hueco Mundo, which is the most suitable for her. It can forcibly reduce the power of everything in the world by half!

Of course, this is half of the current state of all things; the previous half of all things was not as powerful.

The reason why this is the most suitable Fullbring for Soi Fon is mainly due to two points. First, the most crucial point is that Suzumebachi's two-hit kill is halved, turning into a one-hit kill!

Secondly, the ability to reduce the spiritual pressure of the attacker by half can prevent them from directly evading Beehive Flower's fatal attack with their powerful spiritual pressure!

The power of half of everything is Soi Fon's most crucial trump card. To this day, almost everyone believes that her Zanpakuto is still capable of a two-hit kill.

This is also why Ichiro chose her; in terms of combat strength, there are really few people in the current Squad 13 who are above her.

Yin's performance was not much worse. The moment he stood up, he bent down, drew his sword, and released his Zanpakuto in one smooth motion!

A lightning-fast sword slash instantly sliced ​​the three-headed Hollow in half!

Given the size difference between the Shinigami and Adjuchas, a sword technique like the Draw Sword Slash could at most kill one Hollow and severely injure the other two.

Because of the unique constitution of the Hollows, they also possess an extremely abnormal ability: super-fast regeneration!

Cutting someone in half is useless; to kill them with one blow, you have to behead them!

Adjuchas's head has a hard mask as one of its last lines of defense, and its hardness is also quite remarkable.

Even under such circumstances, Silver still managed to behead the three-headed Adjuchas with a single sword strike, thanks to his exquisite control of distance!

With six out of ten gone, the situation instantly reversed!

But on the other side...

After Kenpachi appeared, he did not launch an attack immediately like Gin and the others. Instead, he stood arrogantly in the air. He changed his posture from holding the Zanpakuto with both hands before the teleportation to carrying it on his shoulder with one hand.

Clearly, this brute intends to confront both Vastods head-on!

"Sigh~ Kenpachi that guy..." Seeing this, Ichiro gently pressed his aching brow with his right hand, which was wearing the Soul King's Gauntlet.

"Hehe~ That's just Little Sword's style, he couldn't possibly sneak up on us." Yachiru, who was lying on the ground practicing Ichiro's swordplay, said with a grin, while curiously looking at the thirty motionless Kyrians around her. "What's wrong with them? Why aren't they moving? Did you do that, Sugar?"

"Hmm." Ichiro nodded. His side went relatively smoothly. The moment they appeared, he used the Hand of the Spirit King to simulate Zero's static field, firmly binding them in place and continuously transmitting their body data to him.

Ichiro suspected that these Gillian were very likely Aizen's doing as well!

Normally, Gillian would obey the orders of their superior Hollows, but their nature has not changed. They are still chaotic consciousnesses without self-awareness. However, according to the information we just discovered, all thirty Hollows possess self-awareness!

But how is that possible?

A Gillian with self-awareness can evolve into an Adjuchas!

Their proportion is very small; it's impossible for them to be like they are now, with thirty heads that are empty and all thirty of them having self-awareness!

So Ichiro took control of them the moment he appeared, and at the same time, sealed off the space around them with the Soul King's Hand, and then watched the battle.

All three of them, whether it's Adjuchas or Vasto Lorde, are actually facing each other for the first time. Ichiro has confidence in them, but they themselves might not be so sure of themselves—except for Kenpachi, of course...

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

Chapter 308 Kenpachi's Amazing Plan!

After a while, the battle ended. Although it was the first time the two had fought Adjuchas and they were not yet used to it, their strength was sufficient, and they quickly resolved the battle.

As for Kenpachi...

Watching Kenpachi fight so fiercely, Ichiro sighed deeply. Perhaps, calling on Kenpachi was a mistake...

This guy loves fighting too much, and he has a bad habit: he subconsciously suppresses his power and forces himself to fight to a draw with his opponent!
