The Alchemist in Bleach

After warning Mayuri Kurotsuchi, the extra's best friend looked at Yhwach, who was full of vigilance, slowly sheathed her Zanpakuto, and took a few steps back.

"Don't worry, I won't make a move again. Ichiro will take your life."

He does not mean that.

What the extra's best friend said to Yhwach was overheard by the Captain-Commander and passed on to Ichiro? What does that mean? If we exclude the possibility that he looks down on them and doesn't think they can't beat Yhwach, then there's only one answer left.

In any case, Yhwach is left for Ichiro to take revenge. This may be related to the conditions for reviving Retsu Unohana, or it may simply be left for Ichiro to vent his anger.

But no matter which one it is, there is one thing that cannot be changed!

That means Ichiro can definitely see this place right now and is waiting for them to make their move!

It's unlikely that he'll reap the benefits without contributing. This vice-captain, who often forgets his name, possesses power that's enough to go toe-to-toe with him. Add to that the unfathomable strength of Ichiro, the Moon Spirit, and the at least captain-level combat power of Satoshi. With this kind of strength, Ichiro doesn't need to play the role of the fisherman to deal with the Seireitei.

And most importantly, Ichiro would never allow Retsu Unohana to die because of any plan! Even if it's only temporary, the Captain-Commander is very confident in his judgment of people!

Therefore, after a moment's thought, the Captain-Commander, amidst the puzzled looks of the monk and Yhwach, sheathed his Bankai, put his Shinigami armor back on, and stood there with his hands on his Zanpakuto.

He roughly guessed Ichiro's purpose; what Ichiro wanted was energy!

Even if it's just energy that has been released!

Although he didn't know what Ichiro needed so much energy for, it was precisely because he didn't know that he couldn't let Ichiro do anything reckless.

Unohana is dead. There is no one in this world who can restrain Ichiro now, so whatever he does is no exception.

"Feiyun, can you contact Ichiro?"

"I'm sorry, Captain, I can't get in touch with you."

"Then what do you want to do...?"

"when!"

"You've gotten too cocky, Yamamoto!"

Before the captain could ask any more questions, Yhwach rushed in front of the captain with his spirit sword and slashed down, but unfortunately, it was blocked by a monk standing nearby.

Yes, even in this situation, the captain did not draw his sword, but stood quietly in place, waiting for Yhwach to swing his sword!

The Captain-Commander was confident, but the monk wasn't. If the Captain-Commander were to die now, it would be difficult for their Zero Division to deal with Yhwach on their own.

"Yamamoto! What are you trying to do?! His goal is to devour the Spirit King! Then the three realms will collapse together!" After blocking Yhwach's attack, the monk turned his head slightly and scolded the Captain-Commander.

At the same time, the remaining three members of the Zero Division also drew their Zanpakuto and rushed forward to give Yhwach a righteous beating! (There was a mistake earlier; there should be four Zero Division members, not five.)

"All things in the universe are reduced to ashes, and the flowing blade is like fire!"

"Sheathed!"

"drink!"

"boom!!!"

Scorching flames, fierce slashes, and swift attacks rained down on Yhwach, stirring up clouds of dust.

"bump!"

Suddenly, the monk was kicked away, and the dust settled, revealing Yhwach inside, completely unharmed. He hadn't even used his omniscience and omnipotence!

"Ryujin Jakka?" Yhwach glanced disdainfully at the Mirror of the Radiant Blade in Tsuna's hand, and curled his lip. "It's just a fake. If you could copy the Bankai, maybe I'd take it a little more seriously, but is that all? The Zero Division is declining, and the Five Great Noble Families are declining too. Is there really any need for this world, which is constantly withering and dying, to exist?"

Yhwach dusted himself off and squinted at the Captain-Commander: "Aren't you going to make a move, Yamamoto? What exactly are you plotting?"

"Conspiracy? Ha, I'm just waiting for someone." The Captain-Commander shook his head with a smile, then looked up at the sky, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Ichiro, I know you know the situation here, and I roughly know your purpose. Either you come out now, or I'll let Yhwach kill you, and you won't be able to collect any energy."

Upon hearing this, the group, who were about to launch another attack, all stopped, looking around in surprise and uncertainty, trying to gather... energy?

"Hey~~"

Just as everyone cautiously ceased fighting, a sigh suddenly rang out.

Chapter 388 Identity Exposed

"Hey~"

A long sigh suddenly rang out, and Yue Ling and Zhi's figures materialized from the void, standing on the wall of Yidu, looking helplessly at the captain.

"Yueling? Where's Ichiro? Isn't he coming out?" The captain narrowed his eyes into slits. Just as he thought, Ichiro was plotting something. But was he really not here?

“Father has more important things to do and doesn’t have time right now.”

'As expected~' The Captain-Commander nodded inwardly. If Ichiro could have freed his hands, then Retsu would never have died. 'What exactly are you planning!'

"Looking for shit to feed Zhi."

Everyone: ? ? ?

"Get out! I told you, that's absolutely impossible!"

"Your opinion doesn't count; this is very important for the mission."

"Important my ass! What does the Fullbring Fruit have to do with shit?! You're just trying to mess with me!"

"I've done my research. A user who hasn't eaten the Shit-Scented Fruit is incomplete." Yue Ling flicked her snow-white bangs.

"Bullshit! That's a Devil Fruit! Not a Fullbring Fruit! Don't think I haven't checked the information!"

"That's not important, what's important is the sense of ritual! A Devil Fruit user has to have eaten a fruit that tastes like poop! I don't know what poop tastes like, so you'll have to eat it first and then we can set the flavor."

"Wow! What a sophisticated reason~ But why don't you go eat?" Zhi replied expressionlessly.

"Because that's poop, it's not edible."

Everyone: ...

"So you're just letting me go? Is this how you act as an older sister?"

"Otherwise, what would we need you for? Besides, you're just a robot; you don't eat, you analyze!"

"You're talking nonsense! Don't forget that I can sense emotions, and you're the one who taught me that. That's not what you meant at all!" Zhi shouted angrily.

"Tch~ I knew I shouldn't have taught you~" Yue Ling pouted and said with some regret.

"Ah~ Look, look! The fox's tail is showing!" Zhi pointed at Yue Ling and shouted to the others, adding, "Also, the Fullbring Fruit was never part of Father's plan! Don't think I don't know, not to mention the perverse pleasure of adding flavor!"

"First of all, Father said that I am fully responsible for this matter. As long as it doesn't affect the overall plan, I can decide many things, oh right, including making you eat shit."

"You put it down..."

"And are you sure your father wouldn't agree to this kind of twisted premise?" Before Zhi could even utter a word, Yue Ling interrupted him.

"I..." Zhi hesitated, because his father would most likely agree with this... "But Father won't... um!"

"Plan? Yue Ling, do you know what Ichiro's plan is?"

Zhi was interrupted by the captain halfway through his sentence. He glared angrily at the captain, not daring to speak, because he couldn't win...

"I'm sorry, Captain, now is not the time."

"Oh, really?"

"boom!"

"All things in the universe will turn to ashes, and the flowing blade will be like fire!"

Blazing flames rose from the Captain-Commander's body, and in the intense firelight, his eyes were unusually cold.

"Is now the time?"

"As expected of the Captain-Commander, even your Shikai has such a powerful aura. However, unfortunately, it's still not it. Perhaps you could try using your Bankai?" Yue Ling said with a smile, unfazed by the Captain-Commander's threat.

The captain frowned, somewhat puzzled. Did Yue Ling have so many expressions before?

However, this thought only flashed through his mind. What the Captain-Commander was concerned about now was Ichiro's plan. His intuition told him that this unusual move of contacting Byakuya to form the Five Sages would have a huge impact!

Therefore, the Captain-Commander put away Ryujin Jakka again. After several tests, he realized that no matter what Ichiro's plan was, the more intense their fighting was, the more it would help Ichiro's plan.

It's unlikely to be the only condition, but stopping would undoubtedly cause them considerable trouble.

And indeed, seeing the captain stop, Yue Ling and Zhi frowned slightly. They stopped? That won't do…

"Commander-in-Chief, aren't you afraid that Yhwach will take action? His goal is to destroy the entire world."

"It's alright, so be it. If he wants to kill me, I won't fight back. I don't believe Ichiro wants to destroy the world." The Captain-Commander said with a smile, his hands resting on his Zanpakuto.

Moon Spirit, Wisdom: ...

Yue Ling and Zhi exchanged a glance, both seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes. Damn it, where did things go wrong? Why is the Captain-Commander just giving up? He's a very important large-scale electric... combat force!

Just as Yue Ling was pondering how to get the Captain-Commander to make a move, Yhwach snapped out of his daze, looking at Yue Ling with surprise and uncertainty, and tentatively asked her, "You are... the Spirit King!?"

"Huh?!!" xn

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Youha with surprise and doubt, wondering why he would say such a thing. Although Yue Ling was somewhat special, it was a bit of an exaggeration to call her the Spirit King, especially the Captain and the others. The Spirit King was still alive and well in the Spirit King Palace, and they had guarded the Spirit King for nearly a thousand years. Didn't they know what the Spirit King looked like?

but……

"Hmm? You actually figured it out? Interesting. No wonder you dare to call yourself your brother's child. Not bad. But I'm not the Spirit King."

"!!!" xn

Everyone turned to look at Yue Ling in shock, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets. She admitted it! She actually admitted it!

"Impossible! Your body is full of the power of the Spirit King!" Yhwach looked at Moon Spirit with a solemn expression, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Having gained omniscience and omnipotence and absorbed the Spirit King's substitute, Yamamoto Morihiro, he was extremely confident at this moment. Whether it was Yamamoto or the monk, he was absolutely certain of winning the battle one-on-one, and even if it was one-on-two, he might not be without a chance of winning!

but……

It's different when facing Yue Ling...

His current confidence mainly comes from the high-ranking power of the Spirit King. Putting that aside, in terms of overall strength, he is actually about the same as Yamamoto and the others, and may even be slightly weaker than Yamamoto.

However, his high-level power may not be of any use when facing Yue Ling!

Because he is only close to the level of a Spirit King, while Yue Ling is almost equivalent to a Spirit King!

And this was the Spirit King at his peak!

"Having the power of a Spirit King makes you a Spirit King?" Yue Ling shook her head helplessly and spread her hands. "Also, I said I'm not a Spirit King. To be precise, I'm a simulated Spirit King. You can think of the Spirit King here as a race name. In other words, I just have the same life form as the Spirit King in the Spirit King Palace. Of course, I might also have power, but I'm not a Spirit King. I'm a simulated Spirit King, Tianxin Yue Ling, Tianxin Yilang's daughter... uh, child. Damn it, I almost got dragged in by that guy."

"Hahahaha~~~ You were definitely thinking of your daughter just now, right? You definitely were, hahahaha~~~~ So you had that thought before! You should have said so earlier, sister!"
