The Alchemist in Bleach

As Yixin softly uttered those words, Haschward coughed up blood, and at the same time, the scales behind him vanished. Then...

Let's unite once again behind one heart!

"This is......"

Seeing this, Hasward didn't bother wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, and stared at Isshin with disbelief.

“That’s right, just like you thought. This thing is the same as the badge on your chest, called Death Star - Saint Stealer. It can steal the power of your Holy Script. How about it? Pretty cool, right?” Isshin said with a smile, raising the button that was emitting a faint light.

"Impossible!" Hasward felt a surge of anger, which he quickly suppressed. He waved his hand, still unable to believe it. "Even if Tenshin Ichiro had gathered all the researchers in the Seireitei, he couldn't have stolen the Sacred Script! Absolutely impossible!"

"Heh~ When did you come up with the idea that Ichiro wants to research this technology?" Isshin chuckled dismissively.

“Ichiro only ever studies what he wants to study. If he doesn’t want to study something, even if it’s a task assigned by the Central 46, he’ll just pretend he didn’t see it and just seize the sacred script. You don’t think he can’t do it, do you? You can’t, can you?”

Hearing the sarcastic tone, Haschward lost his usual coldness; anger had distorted his face!

The power of the Holy Script was bestowed by Yhwach, and Yhwach was something they, the Sternritter, held in the highest esteem!

Stealing the Holy Script ability bestowed upon them by Yhwach and then using it in front of them is tantamount to directly cuckolding them!

It's still openly green!

How could he not be furious?

Unfortunately, facing Isshin, whose sacred writing abilities had been taken from him, his anger was nothing more than impotent rage...

In terms of strength, the two are actually evenly matched. Perhaps the reborn Isshin is a little stronger (based on the fact that his Shikai was useless when fighting Aizen, and both Shikai and Bankai can increase spiritual pressure). It is also possible that Haschwalth, as a member of the Sternritter, is a little stronger. It's hard to say.

But regardless of who is stronger or weaker, the gap between the two is ultimately not that large, except...

Hasward, whose Holy Inscriptions have been stolen, is currently in a state of soul damage. Stealing Holy Inscriptions is different from their Star Badges; it is a forced and permanent removal of the Holy Inscriptions' abilities!

It will cause severe damage to the soul!

Meanwhile, Isshin gained the power of the Holy Script, which boosted his strength to some extent. With one side gaining more and the other losing more...

"Pfft!"

Isshin appeared in front of Haschward at lightning speed, and then his Zanpakuto sliced ​​straight into Haschward's chest as if cutting tofu. Then, without giving Haschward any chance to react, he unleashed a Getsuga Tenshou at close range inside Haschward's body!

"boom!"

A massive slash pierced through his body, almost splitting Hasward in two!

Then, Isshin did not press his advantage to kill Haschwalth, just as he had not explained to Haschwalth how he recovered. Killing him now would be pointless, as Yhwach could easily revive him later, making it even more convenient than Ichiro's resurrection technique.

Fortunately, he had been making preparations for this day. In the instant that Hasward was seriously injured and on the verge of death, a red ring appeared on Yixin's body. At the same time, a huge strip of cloth appeared and tightly bound Hasward!

"Oath of Binding Chant, Binding Spell Number Ninety-Nine, Second Mantra, First Movement, Stop the Bound!"

As the 99th Binding Path, its sealing ability goes without saying. It could even control Haschwald in his prime, let alone when Haschwald was extremely weak.

Of course, sealing is only a temporary solution. Once Yhwach senses something is wrong, he can unilaterally drain Haschward's power, causing his immediate death, and then resurrect him.

However, sealing them would be better, as it would buy them more time, especially... Ichigo!

After quickly reciting the incantation for the Ninety-Nine Binding Path, Isshin looked solemnly at Ichigo, who was beginning to change.

His body became more slender, his short hair spread to his waist, and his Shinigami armor was only half of his body left. His upper body had been completely absorbed into spiritual pressure, and his skin was a terrifying pale white. The bull horn mask on his head became more and more ferocious, and there was a huge hole in his chest!

This piece of junk looks familiar...

Isshin swung his Zanpakuto, his eyes sharpening, but not at Ichigo; they were directed at Urahara. He'd previously suspected the origin of Ichigo's Hollow power, and now, it seemed, his suspicions had been confirmed…

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

Chapter 377 The Incomplete Form of Wuyue!

"here it is……"

"Yo~ Your Majesty, long time no see~"

"Huh?!" Hearing the sinister voice behind him, Ichigo froze for a moment, then whirled around. The instant he saw Hollow White, Ichigo's eyes narrowed; this image…

"It's you?"

"Don't be surprised, this is my true form. Do you remember what I said, Ichigo? You must keep getting stronger and stronger, or I will pull you down from the throne!"

"How come you..." Just as Ichigo was wondering why Hollow Haku had changed so much, his eyes widened and he finally found the problem—Zangetsu Uncle was gone!

"Where is Uncle Zhan Yue?"

Seeing Ichigo's anxious expression, Hollow White removed his mask, revealing a bloodthirsty smile, and patted his stomach: "Of course, he's here. Don't you know the law of conservation of energy? Angry? Hahahaha~ Be angry to your heart's content! Then turn that anger into power! Become king again, and you can reclaim Zangetsu! Hahahaha!"

Xu Bai's wicked laughter resounded through the sky, echoing continuously among the empty skyscrapers.

Hearing that Zangetsu could still be saved, Ichigo took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and looked at Hollow with cold eyes, pointing Tensa Zangetsu at Hollow.

“Do you remember? You once asked me, ‘If the blade is sheathed, who can I still cut down?’ I couldn’t answer you then, but now I have the answer.”

"Oh? You've figured it out?" Xu Bai glanced behind Ichigo and looked at him with great interest.

“Yes, with the blade sheathed, it can't cut anyone, but!” Ichigo’s tone shifted, his gaze fixed firmly on Hollow White, “Without a sheath, I’m just a sword, unable to protect them!”

A barely perceptible hint of admiration flashed in Xu Bai's eyes. The answer to this question is not important; what is important is that you have your own answer.

"But how can you defeat me while wearing a sheath?"

"It's simple, just one strike." Ichigo slashed Tensa Zangetsu, pointing it diagonally at the ground. "One sword, usable only once, it will never harm them!"

Xu Bai watched with great interest as the spiritual pressure rising from the body of the guardian rose, a smile playing on his lips. Unfortunately, the smile quickly vanished, replaced by endless rage!

"Queen Elimination Master! You're asking for death!!!"

"boom!!!"

A crimson spiritual pressure erupted from Hollow White's body, and the mask he had flipped to the side of his face transformed into a streak of red light and reformed into a mask on his face.

At the same time, a pure white beam of light shot into the sky from Ichigo's body!

This fluctuation is something that Xu Bai doesn't know what it is...

I finally understood what Ichigo meant by a sword that could only be used once and wouldn't harm my family or friends...

This is the final, Crescent Moon Sky Slash, transforming oneself into a blade!

He was careless!

This technique belongs to the Shiba family. Theoretically, Ichigo wouldn't know it now; he only learned it after Ichigo became Ichigo's Zanpakuto. Therefore, he believes that the Quincy probably doesn't know it either.

pity.......

He overlooked one thing: that guy, like him, was a user of Ichigo's power!

Although their powers are different in nature and origin, they are all Ichigo's power!

Just like Crescent Moon Slash, he can do it, and so can that Quincy!

What Ichigo is using now is undoubtedly his final Getsuga Tenshou!

The only difference was that the source of power had changed from the Shinigami's power to the Quincy's power. He was well aware of that guy's intentions: to take this opportunity to completely deplete the Quincy's power and merge it with Ichigo's. This way, Yhwach would be unable to affect Ichigo's power, giving him a greater advantage in the subsequent battles.

but!

No one knows what negative effects the final Crescent Moon Slash will bring. Although Isshin's Shinigami power seems to have recovered, and he only used Quincy power this time, no one knows whether it will involve Shinigami power, and the risk is very high.

This is also why Hollow White is so angry. If things go wrong, Ichigo will lose all his power! And he will fall into a deep sleep and no longer be able to protect Ichigo.

Furthermore, Hollow White doesn't believe that Ichigo will ultimately be the one to deal with Yhwach. He hasn't been fighting Zangetsu all this time; he occasionally gets information from the outside world through Ichigo. According to the current information, it's highly likely that Tenshin Ichiro will be the one to deal with Yhwach, and Ichigo might not be needed.

Therefore, Ichigo doesn't need to take any risks; he just needs to gradually become stronger.

But now!!!

Rage filled Hollow White's heart, and the will that had once been lost seemed to be awakening again, and the crimson spiritual pressure grew stronger and stronger!

On the other side, the white beam of light dissipated, revealing Ichigo, whose entire body was wrapped in white bandages. His long hair fluttered in the wind, and his right hand was raised into a palm, slowly lifting and then falling down!

"The final Crescent Moon Slash - No Moon!!!"

"boom!"

A massive white slash instantly shattered the enormous, pale white and crimson Cero!

Divide the cow in half, centering on its horn!

Sold out instantly!

This is the power of the Moonless One!

Although it is not a complete Moonless Formation, its power is already extremely strong.

Ichigo stood in mid-air, panting heavily, feeling a sense of emptiness within his body. A wave of fear washed over him. Thankfully, this was in a mental space; otherwise, he might not have been able to use it. He felt something was missing, and…

Ichigo touched his chest with some lingering regret. If he used this move outside, he would definitely slowly lose all his power!

That feeling of power slipping away...

It seems I need to get a thorough check-up from Manager Urahara after I leave. Even though it's a mental space, no one knows if it will affect my physical body in reality. Just to be on the safe side, I should get it checked out.

Just as Ichigo was thinking this, at the spot where Hollow White had been destroyed, Uncle Zangetsu slowly materialized, looking at Ichigo with satisfaction.

"You've grown up, you little chick."

A weak smile appeared on Ichigo's face. Thank goodness, Uncle Zangetsu isn't... huh?!

However, Ichigo's joy was short-lived, as he soon discovered that Zangetsu's body was slowly dissipating, turning into particles of spirit that floated to one side, where Hollow White was slowly emerging...

"Clang!"

The moment Hollow White appeared, Ichigo immediately drew his large cleaver and warily aimed it at Hollow White.

Xu Bai didn't care at all. He casually lifted his mask, waved, and greeted him with a smile, "Yo~ Yijigu, we meet again."

"You're not dead?" Ichigo looked at Hollow White with a serious expression.

"Death? Me?" Xu Bai was stunned for a moment, then put his right hand to his forehead, threw his head back and laughed loudly, "Hahahaha~ Yijigu, you really... Hahahaha~"

"???" Ichigo looked at Hollow White with a blank expression. What was so funny about this?

Seeing Ichigo like this, Uncle Zangetsu, who was standing to the side, also looked helpless and said, "Speaking of which, I haven't introduced his name to you yet. His name is..."

"A name?" Ichigo frowned slightly. This guy even has a name?

"His name is Zhan Yue!"
