The Alchemist in Bleach

"Hiss~" Urahara gasped with some difficulty. "I do have some, but I don't know where you are, so it's not easy to give them to you. Hmm... You've been following Ichiro for so long, your talent for Kido should be pretty good, right?"

"Not bad, I can use most of the low to mid-level demonic arts proficiently."

"Mid-to-low level...or most of them...okay, anything else?"

"It's gone."

That's it?

"It's gone."

"......"

"It seems I can't be of any help to you. I'm moving closer to him now. That's all for now."

After saying that, the extra's best friend hung up the call and walked towards the Sternritter members who were fighting the GT mechs not far away.

"Cang Du, a member of the Sternritter, whose holy letter is 'I', and whose ability is 'Iron', possesses powerful defensive capabilities."

"Who are you?" Cang Du casually tossed aside the mecha in his hand and cautiously looked at his friend, who was walking towards him, his vigilance at its highest.

He knew who the female death god in front of him was: Fei Yun, the vice-captain of the Fifth Division, the second-in-command of Tenshin Ichiro, extremely strong, and with a very impressive record!

However, the Grim Reaper in front of us has no spiritual pressure!

A nameless fear arose in Cang Du's heart!

"My name? The dead need not know."

"Pfft!"

"Kata~"

As soon as she finished speaking, the figure of the extra's best friend appeared behind Cang Du and many Quincy holy weapons. At the same time, as the sound of the Zanpakuto closing with its scabbard rang out, Cang Du's head and the other holy weapons flew high into the air!

His eyes were still filled with disbelief!

Faced with an absolute difference in spiritual pressure, any fancy abilities are just for show!

After killing Cangdu, the extra's best friend frowned slightly because she sensed that Yhwach's spiritual pressure had become significantly stronger.

"Will killing members of the Knights make Yhwach stronger? Is this connection part of Urahara's plan? Perfect, Ichiro probably doesn't want Yhwach to be taken care of by others, so let's take action."

After thinking for a moment, the extra's best friend glanced at the mechs waiting around, ignored them, and headed straight for the next member of the knight order.

She wasn't surprised at all that the Technology Development Bureau had cracked Ichiro's settings and made the mechs move again. In Ichiro's words, if they couldn't even crack something as simple as a matching game, then the Technology Development Bureau wouldn't have any reason to exist.

Although the "connect-the-dots" game that Ichiro talked about seemed like gibberish to his best friend, she thought Ichiro was right!

.......

"It's over. The plan against Yhwach ended before it even began." In a corner of Seireitei, Urahara said to Yoruichi with a helpless expression.

Yoruichi, who had just finished explaining to Soi Fon and Yuushirou the "difficulties" he had faced in leaving Soul Society all these years, put his hands on his hips and said nonchalantly, "So what if it's over? I told you long ago that your plan was unreliable. Compared to sealing, Ichiro prefers to eliminate future troubles permanently."

“I also want to eliminate future troubles, but what if Yhwach really has some connection with the Soul King? What if killing him affects the Soul King and causes the Three Realms to collapse? Do you really want to step up and become the Soul King yourself? Can you stand there?” Urahara said irritably.

"Emmm," Yoruichi tilted her head and imagined the scene, then shuddered and shook her head violently, "You might as well kill me."

Soi Fon and Yuushirou, who were listening to the conversation, were stunned by the information they inadvertently revealed. They looked at each other and chose to remain silent, not wanting to delve into it further.

One reason is that they don't want to deal with these troublesome matters for the time being, while the other is that they know their position is not sufficient to know these things in depth.

"Yoruichi-sama, where are we going next?" After a brief moment of surprise, Soi Fon looked at Yoruichi expectantly without moving her feet.

"We...?" Before Yoruichi could speak, Urahara, standing beside her, looked on in astonishment. "Are you two coming too? Don't you have anything better to do? The Second Division Captain, and Yushiro, the head of the Yushiro family?"

"Shut up, Urahara!" Soi Fon snapped at Urahara coldly, then her expression instantly changed, and she looked at Yoruichi with an expectant smile. "Yoruichi-sama, can we come with you?"

Yoruichi glanced at the somewhat bewildered Urahara, chuckled, and reached out to ruffle Soi Fon's hair: "What we're going to do this time is related to the entire Soul Society. They can come along too; they're all quite strong and might be able to help."

Urahara shrugged indifferently and said, "Okay, whatever you say."

After saying that, Urahara raised his right shoulder towards Yoruichi amidst the puzzled looks of Soi Fon and Yushiro. Then, Yoruichi nodded and instantly transformed into a black cat, jumping onto Urahara's shoulder.

Urahara raised an eyebrow triumphantly at the stunned Soi Fon.

"Smack!" The black cat's paw gently patted Urahara's face. "Stop playing around, let's go."

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

Chapter 383 Zero - Infinity!

"Smack!" The black cat's paw gently patted Urahara's face. "Stop playing around, let's go."

"Ah."

Urahara nodded, abandoning his playful thoughts, and walked towards a corner under Soi Fon's murderous gaze.

Yushiro patted Soi Fon's shoulder helplessly: "Let's go."

He had seen this scene too many times, but he had never seen Soi Fon get the better deal.

Soi Fon stomped her foot angrily and followed after him. Angry as she was, she was determined to make the most of this rare reunion with Yoruichi.

Soon, the three people and the cat walked to a corner covered in shadow.

"Be careful, conceal your presence, we're about to move." With that, Urahara lightly tapped the ground with his cane, and the surrounding shadows instantly surged, engulfing Yuushirou and Soi Fon in astonishment! They pounced towards them!

"This is... the Shadow Domain?!" Yushiro exclaimed in surprise as he watched the shadows sweeping towards him. "Brother-in-law, you actually broke through this? That's amazing! Even Ichiro couldn't do that!"

“Ichiro? You mean the Shadow Domain? How could that guy not be able to do it? If he couldn’t break the Shadow Domain, there would be no need for us to come here. Although I hate to admit it, when it comes to the technology of breaking and copying, that guy is much stronger. He just has his own plans.” Urahara explained to Yushiro while confirming the location.

"So what is his purpose?"

"Purpose? Isn't the Five Sages system you've created precisely to counter his plan?"

Yushiro was puzzled for a moment, then his expression changed drastically. He almost lost control of his aura, but fortunately, Urahara's barrier prevented him from attracting attention.

After regaining control of his breathing, Yushiro asked, "Then why did he do that? What benefit did it bring him?"

"Benefits? Satisfying his thirst for knowledge. With the outbreak of war, various technologies will inevitably experience explosive growth, and this is exactly what he craves most. After all, that guy's pursuit of knowledge can only be described as fanatical. There are only two people in this world who can stop him: one is his Zanpakuto world, but the world will always be on his side; the other is Captain Unohana, but she has now died in battle. So now, he has no taboos!"

"So, are we here to stop his plan?"

"Stop?" Urahara turned and looked at Yushiro with surprise, seemingly wondering why he would have such a thought. "When did you get the idea that that guy's plan could be stopped?"

"Um, so we are now..."

“Ichiro’s style is even more reliable than mine. He’s almost always 100% certain about what he plans and has multiple backup plans. There’s no way to stop him.” As he spoke, Urahara waved his hand on the map, and a ripple of spiritual energy spread out, with several dots appearing on it.

"What we can do now is to gain as much advantage as possible for us in the upcoming major changes. Ichiro, that madman, won't consider these things in order to increase the success rate of the plan, especially now that Captain Unohana has been killed."

Is this the only way?

“That’s the only way.” Urahara nodded, then suddenly focused his gaze on the map in his hand. “Found it. Prepare to conceal your presence. I’m going to remove the barrier.”

Soi Fon and Yuushirou nodded and adjusted their state again.

The moment Urahara's barrier was removed, the three people and the cat vanished without a trace. The remaining holy soldiers were completely unaware that four figures were brazenly moving through the area.

Before long, the group arrived at a corner, which was also in the shadows. Upon seeing this, Yu Shiro had some guesses in his mind and looked surprised. Could it be?

The next moment, Urahara confirmed his suspicions.

Urahara first erected a concealment barrier to isolate the senses here, and then, just as he had just entered the Invisible Empire, he lightly tapped the ground with his cane.

In an instant, the surrounding shadows surged and swallowed them whole!

This is……

A Shadow Realm constructed within a Shadow Realm!

At this moment, Soi Fon and Yuushirou once again experienced Ichiro's terrifying ability to construct a Shadow Domain within a Shadow Domain... and what's even more outrageous is that Yhwach, the progenitor of the Quincy, might not even know about this...

Piracy actually beat the original...

As expected of the Hand of God!

However, once they truly entered the Shadow Realm constructed by Ichiro, they realized how superficial their previous understanding had been...

Above the Shadow Realm, there were countless Zeros, the final form of the GD series, the Burst God Machine!

The mechs were specially developed to counter Vastod and are extremely powerful!

Furthermore, the cost is extremely high, and so far only three have been built. Zero is owned by Ichiro, while Number One and Number Two were "stolen" by Urahara and Yoruichi, who were by his side, a hundred years ago. For a hundred years, the proposal to build a new mecha has been stuck for various reasons, so the current Seireitei actually only has one Burst God Machine, namely Zero.

This is normal, after all, the Burst God Machine is comparable to Vasto Lorde, and after actual combat testing, its strength is slightly stronger than Vasto Lorde.

As for Vastods, there haven't been many of them since the Hollows were created. Apart from the fake ones that Aizen created with the Hogyoku, there are only a dozen or twenty genuine Vastods, and some of them have already died.

This is also one of the important reasons why the new explosive machine manufacturing plan has been delayed.

But now, here, as far as the eye can see, it's all zeros!

The number is far more than tens of thousands!

"This... how is this possible..." Yuushirou and Soi Fon stared blankly at the scene before them, their steps faltering. Even if they dismantled the entire Soul Society, they couldn't possibly create so many Zeros...

"It's impossible. Don't be scared. Look closely. These are indeed Zeros, but they are not real Zeros. Even if you emptied the entire Three Realms, you couldn't make even half of this number of Zeros."

"Brother-in-law, do you mean these are illusions? But I remember that Brother Ichiro is good at mental illusions, not visual illusions, right?"

“I didn’t say they were illusions. These Zeros aren’t real, but they do exist.”

"???" Yushiro looked at Urahara with a puzzled expression. What's the difference between the two?

“Look closely, there’s a faint purple light on these mechs. That’s the power of the Time-based Kido. What your brother-in-law means is that these mechs actually exist in another dimension, but were summoned here by Ichiro.”

"??? This works too?" Yushiro looked at Urahara with utter disbelief, as for Soi Fon...

Yes, she's already numb...

“At present, it won’t work. These mechs don’t belong to this era, and they are all Zeros, which conflict with the timeline. Unless they are placed in the three realms that are separated by the severance, but even then, only three can exist at the same time. So I suspect that Ichiro has some means to temporarily break this restriction, and he should be preparing for it now!”

Chapter 384 The Final Battle Begins!

Yushiro: "..."

After hearing Urahara's explanation, Yushiro was completely dumbfounded. They were both Kido, so how could there be such a big difference?

"So, what do we do now?"
