The Alchemist in Bleach

This time, it was Inoue's turn to fall silent...

Yes, is she really going to refuse?

This opportunity to gain power...

If she misses this opportunity, she may never have another one in her life. She'll only be a burden, a liability, and likely, she'll drift further and further away from him...

Inoue glanced back at Ichigo's body lying on the ground, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened his eyes, his gaze becoming unusually firm!

"I don't know what your purpose is, but please give me the power! Please!" After saying that, Inoue bowed deeply to Nicholas at a 90-degree angle.

Seeing this, Nicholas's face broke into a bright smile. Although he could also forcibly awaken Inoue's power, the power of Fullbring is related to the user's mental state. The more one desires power, the more likely one is to awaken that power!

Fullbring is not the power of love; its essence is the power of the Soul King fragment. However, the Soul King fragment is essentially just a collection of high-energy particles. Without strong emotions to stimulate it, it cannot generate magical abilities.

"As you wish, little girl!"

With a slight flick of his right hand, Nicholas created a golden gem that appeared silently. Instantly, a barrier enveloped the school, blocking everyone's view. Then, under Nicholas's control, the golden gem floated to Inoue's forehead, and a stream of golden spiritual energy surged into the depths of her soul. Combined with her intense thirst for power, it shone with an even stronger light!

"biu~~"

A flash of white light, and Inoue's hair clip instantly transformed into a stream of light, turning into six little sprites that danced around Inoue.

Seeing this, Nicholas put away the golden gem with satisfaction, and his figure slowly disappeared.

"Your wish has been fulfilled. See you next time, don't worry, there definitely will be a next time..."

Unfortunately, Inoue didn't hear the second half. He was secretly wary of Nicholas's sudden departure, and then he noticed that the little fairies around him seemed to be able to communicate with him, so he quickly asked them about their power.

After she had a general understanding of the abilities of Shunshun Rikka, and was preparing to restore all the students in the school, Nicholas's voice rang in her ears again.

"I advise you to save your energy. That guy named Kurosaki Ichigo needs your treatment more later. If he doesn't get treatment in time, he really will die. As for the others, don't worry. Absolute Zero is the coldest current in the world that is closest to absolute zero. After thawing, they will not be harmed because their biological time has been frozen."

Inoue paused again. Well, she still didn't understand much of what was being said, but she would focus on the key points: everyone was alright, so she should save her strength to save Kurosaki.

.......

On the other side, just as Yhwach was still surprised by the sudden appearance of the cold wave that cleared the area, his attention was drawn back to Inoue. In the short time he was distracted, how did he become a Fullbringer? Wasn't he just a human with some spiritual power a moment ago? Even yesterday he was a human with almost no spiritual power...

What did he miss?

Yhwach subconsciously looked up. Sure enough, it was still Chapter 329. That didn't make sense.

Yhwach began to show some interest in Inoue. It was just a small fragment of the Soul King; whether he retrieved it or not didn't matter. However, Yhwach's gaze only lingered on Inoue for a moment before returning to Ichigo. Right now, Ichigo was more important.

Just as Nicholas told Inoue, Ichigo's current situation is extremely dangerous. If he fails to kill Adjuchas within the allotted time, it will be Ichigo Kurosaki who dies.

Now, he's quite satisfied with Ichigo Kurosaki; he's performed very well, and he can't let him die like this.

.......

"You actually gave her something so dangerous, you really have a big heart~" Urahara adjusted his hat, looking at Ichiro standing next to Rukia who had turned into an ice sculpture, and said helplessly.

"It's okay, we can be resurrected anyway."

"Resurrection? These days, you're taking life less and less seriously."

"Didn't I say it before? Some things only have one option: zero, or countless attempts."

"Yeah, let's not talk about that anymore. Now, you, it's you, right?"

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

Chapter 330 Kenpachi Transformation

"Is it you?"

Hearing Urahara's words, Ichiro smiled: "You've discovered it?"

"We didn't realize it at the time, but it dawned on us later. The world that was communicating with us was probably the one that looked like you," Urahara said helplessly.

He and Yoruichi only realized it when Ichigo's Shinigami powers awakened, but Rukia's Shinigami powers had not yet recovered.

Given Ichiro's personality, would he choose such a gentle approach?

How can it be!

Now that I finally have a disciple, shouldn't I let him vent all the grievances I suffered back then?

“She still has things to do in the world, so I’ve come here now,” Ichiro said with a smile.

"Is that so? What exactly do you want to achieve with this unrest?"

"Me? It's simple. I want to finish what the Spirit King didn't do. Whether he did it on purpose, lacked the ability, or overlooked it, I want to do it."

"The things the Soul King didn't finish?" Urahara was a little confused, but then his eyes widened as he thought of some of the ideas that Ichiro had proposed years ago but which had been rejected. "You haven't given up yet?"

"Give up? Do you think I'm the kind of person who gives up easily?"

Urahara paused for a moment, his expression turning somewhat gloomy.

"You madman... Do you know what will happen once the spirit particle balance mechanism disappears?"

"I roughly know, but what does that have to do with me? I told you a long time ago that I, Tenshin Ichiro, only consider my own feelings when I do things. I already have wealth, status, and power. Now all I crave is knowledge. Besides, I hate monotony. That will only cool down an active mind. Stagnation is just another form of regression."

"Your method is too radical!"

"Radical? Perhaps. You can try to stop me. Come to think of it, it's been many years since we last competed. Want to give it a try?"

Urahara adjusted his hat, lowered his gaze, and said, "That's quite difficult~ You'll fail~"

"Is that so?" Ichiro smiled indifferently. Failure? It didn't seem so bad.

Seeing this, Urahara cautiously retreated slowly. He came here because of Rukia. Although he was also scheming against Rukia, he didn't want Rukia to die because of Ichiro and Byakuya. Now that Ichiro had come in person, he was no longer needed.

Although Ichiro's methods were incredibly cruel, it's undeniable that his training methods were highly efficient. Moreover, as the strongest Shinigami in Soul Society, dying wasn't so easy for him.

On the contrary, after some discussion, it turned out to be rather dangerous...

It's him Urahara Kisuke!

Looking at the cautious Urahara, Ichiro smiled helplessly and did not make a move against him. In Ichiro's plan, Urahara was also an indispensable part. Not only him, but also Aizen, Yhwach, the Captain-Commander, and the monk were all in Ichiro's plan!

Of course, Ichiro certainly didn't have the ability to scheme against so many people at once; he simply integrated the plans of others into his own.

In other words, there is only one way to stop him: Captain-Commander Yhwach and Aizen, along with the four major powers, must coexist peacefully and develop their strength in peace!

Their plan to fight Ichiro failed completely. Besides, killing him completely wouldn't help. Moreover, there's only one way to kill Ichiro completely: kill both Ichiro and the Moon Spirit at the same time. Otherwise, if either one survives, the other two will quickly revive.

Therefore, Ichiro was not worried at all about his plan being thwarted; what he was more concerned about now was Rukia's situation.

Ichiro placed his right hand on the ice sculpture's head, sensed it for a moment, and nodded in satisfaction: "Hmm, very good, it's dead perfectly."

Then, he shattered Rukia's ice sculpture with a single slap, along with her body and soul!

Absolute freezing air is a cold current that can freeze even the soul!

Going a step further, there's freezing air that can freeze spacetime!

However, that one is impractical. For Rukia, the adaptation time would be much longer, and there would be almost no breakthrough in her potential, making it extremely cost-effective.

Ichiro squatted down, picked up a fragment of Rukia, examined it carefully, and after confirming once again that the chill had completely invaded the depths of Rukia's soul, he gripped the fragment tightly, stood up, and white light bloomed in his hand.

Then, Ichiro slowly released his palm, and streaks of light fell, revealing Rukia in her Shinigami uniform. Revival complete!

"Teacher? You......."

"Click~"

Rukia had just opened her eyes and looked at Ichiro in front of her with some surprise. Before she could finish her question, a chill suddenly surged from the depths of her soul, and at the same time, she turned into an ice sculpture again!

"Boom~"

This time, Ichiro didn't wait long. He smashed Rukia to pieces, picked up the fragments, and began to revive.

"old......"

"Canopy!"

Resurrected~

“l......”

"Boom~"

........

After this happened dozens of times, Rukia, who had been resurrected once again, gave up asking questions, closed her eyes, stretched out her neck, and simply waited to die.

Thus, Rukia repeatedly teetered between life and death. Fortunately, because the Absolute Zero was so powerful, Rukia initially died instantly, so she didn't experience much pain. However, when her body began to adapt to the freezing air after countless resurrections, Ichiro would use his Time Manipulation Kido to accelerate her death, causing her to still feel nothing.

This was different from before. In the past, she could clearly feel the process of dying, and sometimes she would even watch the blood flowing from her shattered body slowly spread across the ground...

The psychological pressure is off the charts!

But things are different now!

She died instantly!

Completely painless!

I can't see my own corpse at all!

Beautiful!

Well, Rukia had already forgotten that...

There are two ways to fully master the Zanpakuto Sode no Shirayuki. One is to use Absolute Freeze, which is the fastest method. The other is slower but does not require death.

Moreover, each time Ichiro revived her, he used only a tiny fragment...

Behind Rukia's back, out of her sight, a mountain of corpses made up of "Rukia" is slowly taking shape. One wonders what her reaction will be when she sees this after she succeeds...

......

"Ping!"

On the other side, although the sudden attack of the cold wave surprised both Hirako and Uruchiora, their strength was enough to withstand the aftershocks of the cold wave, so the battle was affected, but not completely.

The two continued their intense battle.

"when!"

After blocking Hirako's attack again, Ulquiorra frowned, glanced at the Death Gods gradually closing in from all sides, and tore open a black cavity behind him to prepare for retreat.

What's the point of fighting like this? You might have a chance in a one-on-one fight, but one against many...
