The Alchemist in Bleach

You must have eaten some fertilizer!

Well, I didn't eat the Golden Fertilizer, but I used the Golden Gemstone many times.

"Winter~winter~"

At that moment, with two sounds of space tearing apart, Stark and Kamui, both dressed in white robes, appeared in the air.

However, their support did not put Tiancheng at ease, because...

"Kamui? You've joined Hueco Mundo?"

"Yes, Aunt Feiyun, after all, I am a ghost."

"So, are you going to stop me now?"

Kamui fell silent, his gaze falling on the golden gem on his friend's chest, his eyes twitching slightly.

He recognized this thing; Zhi had told him about it. It was an Infinity Stone, possessing the magical power to break limits.

However, if he remembered correctly, his father's Infinity Stone seemed to be a size larger than this one...

So, her father made her a new Infinity Stone? Or perhaps it's in the form of a necklace...?

That's...pretty skillful!

After a moment's thought, no, there's no need to think at all. On one hand, there's the possibility of a future stepmother, and on the other, just a colleague you don't know very well. So why even choose?

Kamui strode forward, then turned and stood opposite Stark!

Stark paused for a moment, then his expression turned serious. Kamui was serious!

Seeing this, the extra's best friend nodded slightly, thinking that this was for the best, as they wouldn't have to resort to "family discipline" on him.

However, life is unpredictable; some are happy while others are sad. Compared to his friend, who was just a supporting character, Tiancheng's face was very grim. He knew it would turn out this way!

In fact, arranging for Shenwei to ambush him was not a safe option, and he had known this risk for a long time. Given his cautious nature, he shouldn't have made such a mistake.

But I can't get anything done...

The reason why Tensei Shiro was able to survive in Seireitei for so many years was because he generally didn't cause trouble, especially after Ichiro installed that surveillance system in Seireitei, he became even more cautious.

In doing so, he was now secure, but his communication with Las Noches decreased accordingly. In other words, apart from Stark and Aizen, no one in Las Noches knew of his existence.

In this situation, it would be wishful thinking to expect others to come to his aid. In the vast Las Noches Palace, only Starks who know the situation and Kamui who has nothing better to do would come. Aizen also has important plans that require the Seireitei.

This is also why he chose to make his move when Ichiro and his group were all away, in order to minimize the possibility of Kamui, an important combatant, betraying him at the last minute.

Unfortunately, no matter how much we planned, we didn't expect our supporting character's best friend to have such formidable fighting power! She actually dared to single-handedly storm Hueco Mundo!

Tensei pressed his right hand tightly against his Zanpakuto, his eyes darting around as he looked for a possible escape route.

Judging from the terrifying spiritual pressure displayed by the extra's best friend just now, fighting is out of the question; running away is the only option!

"Give up, you have nowhere to retreat! Soar into the sky! Great Serpent of All Things!"

"Sigh~~~"

With a whisper from the extra's best friend, the giant python, whose name was finally revealed, stretched out from the Zanpakuto at the extra's best friend's waist and grew larger in the wind!

The visible portion alone is hundreds of meters long!

Tens of meters thick!

It's a behemoth!

This scene made Tiancheng Tong Kong shrink back again. He keenly noticed that the original incantation of the extra's best friend had changed. The original incantation was "Sit upright in the nine heavens! ***!", but now it had become "Soar into the sky! Great Serpent of Myriad Forms!".

The change in the initial release term indicates that while the supporting character's best friend couldn't master Bankai, she has made further progress in developing her own. However... isn't the difference too significant...?

Looking at the enormous serpent that blotted out the sky, Tiancheng's lips twitched.

“Do you know what? Just before I came here, Yixu found me. She was crying. I’ve known her for so many years, and this is the first time I’ve ever seen her cry so sadly. When we were kids, I would visit her and break her doll, and she never cried. But now, you’ve made her cry.”

Tiancheng: "......."

Tiancheng didn't speak, but continued to look around, searching for an opportunity to escape, while his friend, who was just a minor character, continued talking to herself as she slowly walked towards him.

"Ichio and I have never gotten along since we were little. Because my family is more powerful than hers, I looked down on her from a young age. When we got to the academy, I even led the way in isolating her. Maybe it was karma, because soon, I, who lacked talent, became the one who was isolated in class. At this time, it was Ichio who accepted me. She didn't hold a grudge and became good friends with me. She also introduced me to Ichiro. So, she is a good girl. So, do you understand what I mean?"

“…I don’t understand…” Tiancheng replied perfunctorily, remaining wary of his supporting character best friend’s possible attack at any moment while continuing to search for the few remaining glimmers of hope…

"Don't understand? Well, of course, how could a 'genius' like you possibly understand?" The extra's best friend sighed softly, slowly drawing a katana from her waist. "Since you don't understand, then forget it, just die!"

"Whoo~"

"Hidden Step!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a gentle breeze swept by, and the extra's best friend, wielding a katana, suddenly appeared in front of Tiancheng, the blade pointing forward, aiming straight for his neck.

"when!"

In the critical moment, Tiancheng reacted quickly. A cold light flashed across the sky as his Zanpakuto was suddenly drawn, blocking the attack from his friend, who was just a minor character.

However, just as he was about to launch a counterattack, a red glint flashed in the eyes of the extra's best friend. With a light tap of her foot, a thin blade shot out and attacked Tiancheng!

"Pfft~"

Even with Tiancheng's lightning-fast reflexes, at this distance, he could only slightly turn his body to minimize the damage. As for blocking or dodging...

That is impossible.

Fortunately, minor injuries were tolerable. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tiancheng quickly withdrew and flew away. Then, after a red ring appeared on his body, he slashed himself with a knife in front of his friend's surprised eyes!

Large amounts of blood spurted out!

Surprisingly, after the blood stopped flowing, Tensei's injuries were completely healed. This was the ability of his Zanpakuto's Shikai, which conceptualized the injuries as blood and allowed them to flow out, and then absorbed.

"So, the oath-binding incantation is used to perform the Shikai of a Zanpakuto? As expected of someone trained by Ichiro, impressive~"

Using the Oath Binding Chant for the Shikai of a Zanpakuto is a very difficult technique, and well, she, being incompetent, doesn't know how to do it.

"Swastika: The dead beast sings wildly!"

After healing his injuries, Tiancheng did not stop moving. Instead of dealing with the Oath Binding on his body, he activated Bankai first and then completed the Shikaiyu, which would be more stable.

"Bankai... what an enviable talent!" A hint of envy flashed in the eyes of the extra's best friend. Bankai was something she had been longing for but could never achieve, except for Ichiro. Ichiro could at least see hope if he tried harder... Bankai...

Ha~ Incompetent~

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

Chapter 368 The Incompetent Are Not Incompetent!

The inability to learn Bankai is one of the main reasons why the supporting character's best friend is considered incompetent.

Bankai is the product of a Zanpakuto fully acknowledging a Shinigami, and the Shinigami having a clear understanding of the Zanpakuto's power. In other words, if either is missing, Bankai cannot be activated.

For example, Renji's Bankai was incomplete because of his incomplete understanding at the time. However, he did have some understanding, and his Zanpakuto acknowledged him to some extent, just not completely.

But the extra's best friend is different; she has almost no knowledge of her own Zanpakuto's Bankai!

Even her Zanpakuto doesn't acknowledge her at all!

He's already destroyed over twenty of his Divine Body forms, but he still hasn't awakened Bankai...

So she was somewhat envious of Bankai, but only a little. In battle, she wouldn't hold back!

"call!"

At the very moment of his Bankai, as the Blood Beast coalesced behind him, the Myriad Manifestations Serpent in the sky also made its first move, with a red light flashing across the heavens!

In the next instant, all the blood beasts behind Tiancheng turned into stone statues, unable to move!

At the same time, the extra's best friend rushed up again with a knife!

"Scattered beast bones..."

The long sword sliced ​​through the sky, accompanied by chanting, and struck towards the heavens!

'Intermittent chanting?' Tiancheng's heart skipped a beat. He quickly drew a Zanpakuto from his storage equipment and faced his friend, who was playing a minor role. At the same time, he chanted, "A faint, murky crest, an unruly and arrogant talent..."

He can sing even in broken or intermittent ways!

Intermittent chanting, an advanced Kido technique, allows one to chant incantations while fighting, and even stop midway. It is an extremely practical Kido technique, also developed by Ichiro.

"Ta-da~"

Swords flashed as the two fought, chanting incantations as they battled.

The two chanted different demonic arts. Tiancheng chanted the number ninety demonic arts, Black Pavilion, while the extra's best friend chanted the number sixty-three demonic arts, Thunder Roar Cannon.

This is also what makes Mob's best friend different from other Shinigami, because usually, most Shinigami use the technique of intermittent incantation to chant advanced Kido spells of level 90 or higher.

In layman's terms, the higher the level of the Ghost Path, the better, because it has greater power. Intermittent chanting only allows you to chant in segments, but in reality, the chanting time is lengthened. You can't hold in a fart for a long time just to set off a firework, right?

If you hold it in, it will eventually explode!

One fart and you'd be dead!

The supporting character's best friend, however, is quite different. She prefers to chant low- to mid-level demonic arts, firstly because the chanting time is relatively short, and secondly...

She won't...

As an incompetent individual, her incompetence wasn't limited to her Zanpakuto; it extended to her Kido as well. She only knew a few important high-level Kido techniques, and was largely ignorant of the others...

"The sound of spears clashing filled the empty city!"

When the extra's best friend finished chanting the last part, Tiancheng instinctively dodged, trying to avoid the attack.

"Pfft!"

Unfortunately, the expected thunderous cannon did not arrive; instead, the sharp blade of the extra's best friend came!

He was caught off guard and his shoulder was slashed by a sword!

Tiancheng's expression was somewhat unpleasant. He knew what his friend, the extra, was planning. The incantation of the Thunder Roar Cannon was 99% complete. Now, only the final declaration was needed, which would equal a Thunder Roar Cannon with a complete incantation or even a complete incantation!

That thunderous cannon could hit him at any moment!

Admittedly, this Thunder Roar Cannon can't be maintained indefinitely; she'll have to unleash it sooner or later, otherwise it will backfire. But!

The degree to which she has mastered this technique determines how long she can maintain it; who knows how long she can hold back!

As long as the Thunder Roar Cannon doesn't fire, he'll be on edge!

He was already at a disadvantage in close combat; if he were to become even more mentally strained, it's hard to say how long he could hold out...
