The Alchemist in Bleach

Although Yue Ling stopped herself in time, unfortunately, Zhi still caught the key words and immediately mocked her mercilessly.

"Huh?!" Upon hearing Zhi's mockery, Yue Ling instantly retaliated with a death stare!

Chapter 389 Ichiro: Gentlemen, I crave war!

Everyone on the field, whether they were Shinigami, Zero Squad, or Yhwach, had no time to pay attention to the argument between Tomo and Tsukirei; they were still processing the information they had just received.

Moon Spirit is a simulated Spirit King, possessing power equivalent to that of a Spirit King...

Ichiro created a simulated Spirit King, which means he possesses power surpassing that of a Spirit King...

What could it be that even Ichiro, with such power, has to go to such lengths to plan...?

"Moon Spirit, what exactly are you plotting?!"

Yue Ling paused for a moment, then sighed. It couldn't be hidden any longer; it seemed she had no choice but to…

You fooled him!

"Sigh... Father's plan is..."

"Rip!"

"Alright, Yue Ling, there's no need to lie to the Captain-Commander anymore." Just as Yue Ling was about to start deceiving the Captain-Commander, the space behind her suddenly tore open, and Ichiro stepped out to stop her.

"Father? It's finished?"

"Well, there was a slight hiccup, but overall it went smoothly. Our calculations were correct, so now there's only one last thing left."

As he spoke, Ichiro slowly walked up to Yue Ling, looked around, glanced at the Shinigami in the open and in the shadows, and finally looked at the Captain-Commander.

"My goal is simple: war!"

Ichiro looked at the Captain-Commander and said without any attempt to hide his feelings.

He didn't want to use lofty reasons to embellish himself; this was his ultimate goal, and everything else was just incidental.

"War?" The Captain-Commander and Yhwach's expressions both turned serious. Yhwach frowned deeply, not wanting to be used as a pawn for no reason. "Did you plan the Quincy invasion of our Seireitei?"

"No, this was initiated by Yhwach's own will. Of course, I don't know whether the one in the Spirit King's Palace intervened."

"He admitted that He intervened."

Ichiro turned to look at Yue Ling, somewhat surprised: "Really? That's rare, but that's not important. The war I'm talking about isn't some small-scale skirmish. That's just a battle at best. The war I'm talking about is a war between the three realms!"

"!!" A trace of anger rose in the Captain-Commander's heart. In his view, the battle with the Invisible Empire was already a very serious matter. After all, he had made many changes and sacrifices over the past thousand years in order to protect this hard-won peace.

Now, Ichiro is going to destroy this peace, and it's a war that's far bigger than the invasion of the Wandenreich. How could the Captain-Commander not be furious?

If it were anyone else, the Captain-Commander's sword would have already struck, but this is Ichiro...

Over the past few centuries, Ichiro has proven through his actions that many of his actions are meaningful and not as selfish as he claims, except, of course, when he gets carried away.

Now, he needs to determine whether Ichiro has lost his temper.

"You've instigated a war between the three realms... What exactly do you want? What is your purpose in starting this war?!"

"It's very simple. The Spirit Particle Balance Mechanism. The Captain-Commander should be familiar with it, right? As long as this mechanism is gone, war will naturally break out—a war to seize Spirit Particles!" Ichiro's smile was very warm, but his words were incredibly cold.

The war of spirits...

After a moment's thought, the Captain-Commander understood what Ichiro meant by the Spirit War.

If the balance of spiritual particles in the three realms is lost, then the first to be affected will be the Grim Reaper and humanity!

After the spiritual balance mechanism disappears, Death may not immediately withdraw its protection of humanity, but it is foreseeable that this protection will not continue, because this event itself will not bring any benefit to Death.

Soul burial?

After the spiritual balance disappears, the only meaning of Soul Burial may be to replenish the population. However, it should be noted that the inhabitants of Soul Society are also capable of reproduction, so the demand for it is not high.

At the same time, and more importantly, the disappearance of the spiritual particle balance mechanism will cause spiritual particles to cease to circulate between the three realms.

However, spirit particles are extremely important to the Soul Society; they are the foundation upon which they depend for survival, and also an important source of nourishment for Shinigami to enhance their strength.

Previously, because the excessive concentration of spiritual particles in one realm would lead to the destruction of all three realms, no one ever considered such a possibility. But what if the spiritual particle balancing mechanism were to disappear...?

Insatiable greed!

The more spiritual particles, the better, as a strategic resource. Once the Soul Society's spiritual particle resources are distributed, they will definitely want more. So, where can they find them?

The present world!

Take it from humanity!

In the end, they might even extend their reach to hell, thus initiating the three-realm war that Ichiro spoke of!

"What is your purpose?" The Captain-Commander asked coldly, his right hand lightly resting on the hilt of his Zanpakuto.

"Purpose?" Upon hearing this, Ichiro looked at Mayuri Kurotsuchi, not answering the Captain-Commander's question, but instead asking Mayuri, "Mayuri, over the years, have there been any genius researchers in the Technology Development Bureau that you have taken a liking to? Or any interesting inventions?"

"Huh?" Mayuri Kurotsuchi frowned, not quite understanding why Ichiro would suddenly ask him this. "No, one by one, they're all idiots. What did you say?"

"This is why I started the war. Have you even considered the current state of affairs?"

The captain frowned. He seemed to have guessed Ichiro's purpose, but something seemed to be missing, as if there was still a layer of mist between them, making it difficult to understand. Therefore, he did not say anything, but just frowned and looked at Ichiro.

"Obviously, you haven't paid attention. Do you know that the development of the world in the last hundred years has been faster than that of the previous thousands of years? And one of the most important reasons for this is war! War is a catalyst for science and technology, and what triggers war is desire!"

"This is something that Soul Society doesn't have now. The corrupt nobles and the decadent society are destroying this world little by little. For more than a hundred years, since the Research and Development Bureau stopped interfering with the Kido Research Bureau, Soul Society has not only failed to produce any groundbreaking new technologies, but it has also failed to produce any ideas that can even catch my eye."

"Just for this?" The captain suppressed his anger and questioned in a deep voice.

The Captain-Commander seemed quite angry about Ichiro's intentions, but Ichiro didn't seem to care much and just smiled.

"Just? Ha~ The pursuit of truth has always been my goal. Exploring more knowledge is extremely attractive to me, and the collision of ideas can generate more brilliant sparks of knowledge. This is very important to me. How can it be described as just?"

"Is that so? Then I apologize. However, I will personally burn your dream!"

"boom!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an immense spiritual pressure emanated from the Captain-Commander, pressing down entirely on Ichiro.

Seeing this, Ichiro showed no fear, but instead shook his head and smiled.

"Captain, I think I told you to always be vigilant, because all enemies who want to cause trouble will try to stop you from making a move first. Do you think I would be unprepared for this?"

After speaking, Ichiro paused for a moment, and amidst the puzzled looks of the crowd, said meaningfully, "Captain-Commander, I remember you don't seem to know Shikai or Bankai, do you?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then turned up in horror!

Chapter 390 Captain-Commander Kazuo's Frank Encounters

"Captain-Commander, I remember you don't seem to know Shikai or Bankai, do you?"

Ichiro's words stunned everyone once again, because they were horrified to discover that their memories were being jumbled!

They've forgotten what the Captain-Commander's Shikai and Bankai are!

Even Yhwach only remembers being defeated by Yamamoto's special power a thousand years ago. Although he tried his best to confirm that it was Bankai, it seemed that a mysterious force was interfering with him, forcing him to forget the name of Bankai and the idea that it was Bankai!

The Captain-Commander was in even more distress. He gripped his Zanpakuto in both hands and could clearly sense a voice calling to him from within, but he couldn't hear it or remember its name.

"What did you do?" The captain suppressed his shock and looked at Ichiro.

"It's very simple, just change the concept, it's just a minor demonic path that utilizes the power of the Spirit King."

Everyone: "That's all..."

"You think you can win by sealing my Zanpakuto? Naive brat!"

As he finished speaking, the captain's shirt slipped down again, revealing his incredibly muscular upper body, radiating immense pressure!

pity……

"Whoosh~"

"Snapped!"

Just as the captain was about to make a move, Chunshui and Fuzhu appeared on either side of him, each grabbing one of his arms and instantly sealing off his spiritual power.

"You two!!" The captain looked at his two beloved disciples in surprise.

"Old man Shan, although this kid's purpose is infuriating, he is right."

"I don't recall ever teaching you that war is the right thing to do."

"Indeed, as you taught us, Mr. Yuan Liaozhai, war is always cruel, no matter when or what the reason is, and we agree with that."

"So what are you doing now?"

"War is wrong, but what Ichiro did is not." Shunsui first further sealed the Captain-Commander's spiritual power before saying, "Old man Yama, if souls in the human world, Hueco Mundo, or Hell suddenly perished on a large scale, what would you do?"

The captain paused for a moment, then lowered his gaze. If this were truly the case, there was no need to elaborate on what to do; although he was extremely reluctant, there was only one way…

Slaughtering civilians in Rukongai!

And it was a large-scale encirclement and slaughter!

There is only one way!

Therefore, as Shunsui said, Ichiro's goal was wrong, but his actions were right...

This is an open strategy...

"It seems that you finally understand, old man. Canceling the spiritual balance can indeed easily trigger a war, but this war can be avoided or even ended quickly. What we should do is not to stop Ichiro's actions, but to focus our energy on how to prevent the war from happening as much as possible afterward."

'And to unify the Soul Society!'

Chunshui didn't say the last sentence, because he knew that the old man in the mountain was already at his limit in listening to these things, and the follow-up matters needed to be planned slowly.

After thinking it through, the captain sighed heavily, then shrugged, gave up on fighting, and glanced at the two men: "Aren't you going to let go?"

"We were wrong!" X 2

Chunshui and Fuzhu were also very sensible. They exchanged a glance, immediately released the captain, and then bowed in apology.

On the other side, seeing that the Captain-Commander had given up, Ichiro smiled slightly. If it's not necessary to fight, it's naturally better not to fight.

Then, Ichiro's smile faded, and he looked coldly at Yhwach, who was still somewhat stunned.
