The Alchemist in Bleach

Yhwatong shrank back, somewhat confused by Unohana's meaning. Was she determined to die? Did she also possess a technique that traded her life for an attack?

He didn't know, but he was greatly more vigilant. He was omniscient and omnipotent and ready to act at any time. No one knew what other tricks she had up her sleeve.

But the Eight Thousand Streams Sword? That flashy move...

"Pfft!"

The thought had barely crossed his mind when Yhwach's chest was cleaved open!

A large amount of blood sprayed out!

None of his defensive spells reacted in time, and his body's warning signals only came belatedly after he was attacked...

While Unohana's Yachiru no Tsurugi doesn't have the same massive Kido power as Ichiro, it's fast enough!

Speed ​​is power!

The extreme speed of the Eight Thousand Streams Sword is not a fake speed increase under the interference of external forces such as time or space manipulation, but rather the stimulation of the body with the power of the Kido, making it highly active and maximizing the speed. The Kido power wrapped around the body is also mainly for defense.

Of course, this level of damage will still cause physical harm, but fighting while healing is Retsu Unohana's specialty!

Here, after realizing that he couldn't keep up with the speed, Yhwach didn't hesitate and immediately activated Omniscience and Omnipotence, completely ignoring all of Unohana's attacks.

At the same time, he used the Chaotic Sky Puppet technique to initially stitch up the wound on his chest, preventing it from affecting the battle.

Immediately afterwards, a huge wall of light appeared beneath their feet and all around them, and within the wall of light, countless holy beings perished and fell!

"Holy Chant - Hymn to the Sanctuary!"

This was originally a defensive spell. The light barrier that rose up around it had a certain defensive capability. At the same time, once an enemy stepped into the light barrier, they would be continuously shot down by Holy Annihilation!

Yhwachs's current approach is to expand the scope of the Sanctuary Praise, directly covering the Unohana within it, and changing the defensive spell into an offensive spell!

He himself was intently observing the ever-falling divine destruction, trying to catch a trace of Unohana. With his omniscience and omnipotence, he was temporarily unharmed.

However, at the same time, he can't keep up with Unohana's super-fast movement and can only passively take hits. Counterattacking will take some time...

In a realm undetectable to Unohana, an omniscient and omnipotent power is surging within Yhwach, seemingly weaving something.

The battle remained deadlocked, but it was foreseeable that once the magic formula within Yhwach's body was completed, it would be the time when Unohana would perish!

YH is very confident about this!

However, he still couldn't understand why Unohana wanted to die. According to the intelligence, she should have given up the idea of ​​dying after her battle with Kenpachi Zaraki. Was there some kind of conspiracy?

Yoha narrowed his eyes slightly.

Chapter 375 Ichigo's Evolution (Part 1)

"Pfft!"

Haschwalth pulled the spirit blade from Renji's body, then kicked the wounded Renji away. Suddenly, he raised his hand and glanced at a device on his wrist. He frowned, looked at Kurosaki Ichigo who was being chased around by the Sanctuary Praise, and with a thought, withdrew some of his spiritual power, allowing Ichigo to rest and enter the final stage of his attack.

Some things cannot be rushed.

However, while he endured it, some people could not.

"Swastika!"

After being kicked away, Renji endured the excruciating pain, inserted a syringe into his body, and pressed it down to speed up the healing of his injuries.

Then he immediately rolled over and unleashed his Bankai!

"Double King Snake Tail Maru!"

Sensing Renji's imposing aura, Haschwalth's eyes flashed with a sharp light. Instead of rushing to use his Star Sign to seize Bankai, he stood quietly with his sword, wanting to see what Renji was up to.

He hadn't forgotten that Renji knew of the existence of the Star Sign, yet he still used Bankai under those circumstances; there were only two possibilities.

First, if he were truly in dire straits, even if his power were taken away, he would have no choice but to use his Bankai to fight back. However, Haschwalth believed that he had not been forced to that point. His purpose in coming here was to put pressure on Ichigo and urge him to complete the final stage of his evolution, not to kill him.

Secondly, and most likely, it is this "Bankai"—it's said that Renji deliberately lured him to steal the Bankai.

Just as Haschward had guessed, Renji's intention was to lure him into using the Star Emblem, though there was also an element of desperation involved.

Without using Bankai, it's really too difficult to deal with Haschwalth; his Holy Script ability is simply monstrous!

Even with the combined strength of the two of them, they are no match for him!

"collapse!"

Renji shattered the ground and charged towards Haschward!

"Ding ding ding~~ Ding!"

Seeing Renji's aggressive approach, the scales behind Haschward appeared and began to tilt, causing Renji's power to weaken.

"Pfft~"

Finally, his furious strike landed weakly on Haschward's Bloodlust Armor, and Haschward immediately followed up with a backhand slash, utterly severing him!

The simulated Shikai combined with the simulated Zanpakuto does resemble the real Shikai, but simulated is simulated, not real. It differs from Shikai to some extent, let alone Bankai.

Putting aside their abilities, there's a huge gap in spiritual pressure alone. They were already somewhat inferior to Haschwalth, and the difference is even greater now that they've been affected by the sacred script.

However, Renji had no expectations for his attack, after all, he wasn't alone!

"Crescent Moon Sky Slash!"

Wearing a bull-head mask and dressed in a black trench coat, Ichigo appeared behind Haschwalth, holding aloft Tensa Zangetsu, which was wrapped with a black crescent moon!

'His spiritual energy was disrupted? Not bad teamwork!' Haschwalth thought to himself, unleashing his full spiritual pressure and turning to meet Ichigo's attack with a slash!

"boom!"

"Cough~" After a huge roar, the distance between the two instantly increased. Haschwalth casually wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and was about to activate his ability to weaken Ichigo's power when he suddenly discovered that Ichigo had released his Bankai. His black trench coat and the long Tensa Zangetsu had disappeared, replaced by a loose Shinigami uniform and a large black and white cleaver. The only thing that remained unchanged was the ferocious bull's head mask on Ichigo's head.

Therefore, the scales behind Hasward disappeared the moment they appeared.

The essence of the world's harmony (The) is balance. Those stronger than it will be weakened, but those roughly equal to it, or only slightly weaker, will not be affected much. They will be completely suppressed by it, but they are not invincible.

Ichigo is doing just that, instantly activating and deactivating his Bankai, his spiritual pressure momentarily surpassing Haschwalth's, and then instantly deactivating his Bankai when Haschwalth activates his Stigmata.

After that last attack failed to end the battle, this was the only possible way for Ichigo to win...

After actual combat, Ichigo discovered that the power of the Holy Marks was not so insurmountable. The real problem was the Star Mark that could steal Bankai!

Ichigo's Bankai is very pure; it doesn't have any fancy abilities. It's just a simple, all-around upgrade!

But this also means that once Tensa Zangetsu is taken away, the enemy can use it easily...

Therefore, Bankai can only be used through this instantaneous burst, but...

"Instantly activating and deactivating Bankai? Not a bad idea, but unfortunately, how many times can you use it?" Hasward said after adjusting his breathing.

Indeed, the ability to instantly release and deactivate Bankai is powerful and can evade his Star Seal, but how many times can it be used?

The consumption of Bankai is enormous, and the instantaneous activation puts a great strain on the body. He would probably start vomiting blood after only a few uses.

However, what Ichigo didn't know was that Haschwalth wouldn't take away Ichigo's Bankai. His mission was to put pressure on Ichigo and force him to complete his final evolution.

However, what Haschward didn't know was that he couldn't take Ichigo's Bankai. If he did, the impending battle within Ichigo would be completely reversed. Not only would Ichigo be unable to complete his final evolution, but Haschward himself might not even be able to defeat the enraged Hollow White...

His ability to harmonize the world only gives him a significant advantage: he can break through defenses that are impenetrable, defend against attacks that are impossible to defend against, and keep up with speeds that are impossible to keep up with.

But that's all. It looks impressive, but combat skills can't be affected. Also, just like Ichigo's Getsuga Tenshou attack, his ability requires a activation time.

Unfortunately, neither of them knew this, and they even liked the current situation, because Ichigo discovered that his power had once again entered a state of rapid improvement, just like when he first started training with Urahara.

Haschward also discovered that between the opening and closing of Bankai, the power within Ichigo's body began to further complete its fusion, a scene he was happy to see.

Therefore, after a brief standoff, the two engaged in a fierce battle once again.

Meanwhile, Renji, who had stabilized his injuries, lay on the ground, recovering while sending out distress signals. The commotion they had caused was definitely not small, but the fact that no one had come over for so long meant that there must be a barrier blocking their way!

However, Renji was only half right.

The barrier does exist, but the situation here has actually been discovered. The Seireitei is currently engulfed in war, but this area is as peaceful as if someone were being secretly taken away, and it was discovered by the patrols long ago.

However, all the Grim Reapers who noticed something was wrong here were simply taken down.

"Pfft~"

After glancing at the fierce battle inside the barrier, Isshin threw down another Shinigami and watched with great interest as Ichigo was being thoroughly beaten by Haschwalth. Sometimes, when he saw Ichigo's mistakes, he would shake his head from time to time, showing some dissatisfaction.

Chapter 376 The Complete Minotaur!!!

"when!"

After another clash, Ichigo's spiritual pressure increased once again. However, this time, he did not launch an attack. Instead, he stood frozen in mid-air, and various kinds of spiritual pressure suddenly surged from his body. The chaotic mix of spiritual pressures stunned Haschwalth and Renji, who was preparing to launch a sneak attack below.

It has the spiritual pressure of Quincy, Hollow, Shinigami, and Fullbringer. Goodness, the composition is quite complex. Even beef offal isn't as mixed as this!

Haschward paused for a moment, then quickly reacted, gathering spiritual energy in his hand, preparing to subdue Ichigo while he was still unable to move. Otherwise, if Ichigo were to complete his full evolution, he might be in trouble.

However, before he could make a move, Hasward's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously injected spiritual energy into his blood, activating the Blood Stasis Armor.

"boom!"

The moment the Bloodstained Armor was fully formed, a white crescent moon slammed into him!

"Alright, the game is over. From now on, you're done." Isshin, carrying his Zanpakuto, leisurely stepped out of the shadows with a nonchalant smile on his face, seemingly not taking Haschwalth seriously at all.

"Isshin Shiba! You're actually in Soul Society!" Haschwalth looked at Isshin with some shock, very surprised.

According to their Quincy intelligence, Isshin should have lost all his powers and be in the human world with his daughter, so how could he be...?

On the other side, Renji paused for a moment after Isshin appeared, then silently lay back down and pretended to be dead. With this big shot around, there was probably nothing for him, a half-crippled good-for-nothing, to do.

"Confused?" Isshin smiled and waved his hand helplessly. "Unfortunately, I can't answer your question. After all, your Yhwach can still revive you."

Hasward Tong Kong shrank back. Given Yi Xin's terrifying combat power and mysterious movements in the past, his arrogance subsided somewhat. He said no more, and the scales behind him appeared.

Seeing this, Isshin's lips curled slightly. He'd finally gotten what he'd been waiting for. He'd thought, based on the intelligence, these arrogant and careless fools wouldn't use the Holy Script's power so easily. Who knew it would be so simple...

On the other hand, seeing the curve of Isshin's lips, Haschward felt a sense of unease.

The next moment, before he could do anything, the buttons on the white robe on Isshin's body suddenly flashed, and a feeling of his soul being torn apart emerged!

"Death Star - Saint Seizure!"
