The Alchemist in Bleach

"Secret Technique: The Sword of Eight Thousand Streams - Lightning!"

"Zi~"

In a flash of lightning, before the Great Ape could even react, his left arm, along with a small part of his left shoulder, was severed off and turned to ashes in the lightning!

This time it missed again; it was aimed at the heart, but it was a close call.

'Is he...testing the knife?'

Fear gradually crept into the heart of the Great Ape. He realized that this could not continue. With a thought, before Ichiro's attack came again, he activated Resonance. At the same time, Super Regeneration was activated, and at the cost of a large amount of spiritual pressure, his injuries were instantly healed!

However, before he could make a further move, Ichiro's figure followed closely behind...

"Secret Technique: The Sword of Eight Thousand Streams - Storm!"

The Great Ape was cut in half at the waist, and his lower body was completely destroyed!

"Secret Technique: The Sword of Eight Thousand Streams - Ice!"

Left arm destroyed!

"Secret Technique: The Sword of Eight Thousand Streams - Fierce!"

Right arm destroyed!

"Secret Technique: The Sword of Eight Thousand Streams... Flame!"

"boom!"

With a final strike, a blazing inferno pierced the heavens and earth, blasting the giant gorilla, now reduced to ashes!

Clad in flames and wielding a fiery blade, Ichiro stood silently in the sky, his head slightly tilted back. The battle was finally over...

Chapter 117 The Justice That Is About to Arrive!

The Eight Thousand Streams Sword is Ichiro's strongest single-target skill. Its power is worthy of being a masterpiece created by the captain over hundreds of years!

Unfortunately, it also consumed a lot of energy. It just made six sword strikes, and those six sword strikes condensed at least half of the spiritual power of the Hundred Coffin Burial!

It's half of the Hundred Coffin Burial, not half of the spiritual power used to activate the Hundred Coffin Burial!

In that instant, he used three techniques in one go. Two of them were high-speed chanting and multiple chanting, which were used to accumulate Kido power. The third was a technique taught to him by the captain, which was to condense Kido power into a Kido blade.

The Eight Thousand Streams Sword currently consists of five swords: Flame, Lightning, Storm, Ice, and Blaze. Among them, Flame is the strongest. Needless to say, Ichiro knows that this is definitely influenced by the Captain-Commander, because when he uses the Flame Sword, the fire armor that condenses on his body looks exactly like the Captain-Commander's ultimate move recorded in the books—the Remnant Fire Katana: West: Remnant Sun Prison Robe.

The only difference is the power level; it's impossible to say that the two are unrelated.

But that's all for now. Ichiro believes that sooner or later, he will be able to defeat the Captain-Commander head-on with the Yachiru no Tsurugi!

Although the Eight Thousand Streams Sword is a sword technique, it is actually a genuine Kido (demon arts). Its power depends entirely on the user's Kido level. Even if others learn this move, its power will be completely different from Ichiro's.

It's a very simple problem. They can't solve the spiritual pressure problem. Even if someone as powerful as the Captain-Commander is, at most you can only unleash a hundred or two hundred Kido No. 90s. And that's taking a high estimate. But even with that much spiritual pressure, the Eight Thousand Streams Sword Technique they used didn't have the same power as Ichiro's just now.

Ichiro was able to do that entirely thanks to the incredible endurance of the Myriad Worlds and his rapid casting technique that combined high-level chanting with multiple chants. As for the others, well, they'd be lucky to stack two level 90 Kido spells in battle.

This is also why the captain saw hope in Ichiro; she couldn't bear to let the swordsmanship she had spent so long developing be buried like this.

While the depletion of spiritual pressure is relatively easy to manage, the mental strain is not so easily resolved...

The flames gradually faded from Ichiro's body, his eyes filled with utter exhaustion, and his body was mangled and battered by the violent Kido power...

He managed to raise his right hand, only to find that the specially crafted Tang sword, like his body, had become incredibly fragile; it seemed that with just a forceful swing, it would shatter into countless fragments...

The power of the Eight Thousand Streams Sword far exceeded Ichiro's imagination. In his previous training, he had never used the Eight Thousand Streams Sword with such strength. In Ichiro's mind, he silently raised the level of this move.

He now has some doubts about whether he can unleash a few more of the Eight Thousand Flows Sword Techniques using the World...

The runes on his right glove glowed slightly, and the tattered Tang sword in his hand was instantly disintegrated. After memorizing its data, Ichiro glanced at the lava-ravaged earth below, sighed, and condensed a spirit blade in his right hand, then slashed himself with it.

Even if the mental state cannot be restored, it would be excellent if the physical state could be restored.

After glancing one last time at the lava below, Ichiro shook his head to clear his mind. After observing for a moment, he habitually slashed with his Spirit Blade, opening a spatial portal and entering the space where Kamui was fighting.

"boom!"

He dodged a crimson Cero by turning his head. Looking around, he saw that more than a dozen Gillian had been reduced to only two or three by Kamui alone. Unfortunately, Kamui was also greatly exhausted and could only dodge in a sorry state.

Seeing this, Ichiro stretched out his left hand, palm facing the remaining three Hollows, and chanted: "The scattered beast bone spikes, the red crystal steel wheels, the movement is the wind, the stillness is the void, the sound of spears clashing fills the Hollow City, the sixty-third Thunder Roar Cannon!"

A burst of intense lightning blasted a Hollow that couldn't dodge in time into pieces. The next moment, Ichiro swung his Spirit Blade in his right hand, and two Thunder Roar Cannons were fired directly at the faces of the other two Hollows, instantly ending the battle.

Using multiple chants would have been more convenient, but Ichiro's mental energy is currently depleted, and he still needs to leave a surprise for the outside world later, so it's best to save energy where possible.

"I'm sorry, Father." Kamui stood in front of Ichiro, slightly out of breath, and said in a low voice with his head down.

After training for so long, he still needed Ichiro's help in the end, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

"It's nothing." Ichiro waved his hand dismissively. "You've only been training for a short time, and you've already done a great job."

After saying that, he casually slashed the Spirit Blade in his right hand again, opening up the battlefield where the world was located, and walked in with Kamui. However, to Ichiro's surprise, the battle inside was not over when they went in!

Thousands of cannons flew wildly in the sky, seemingly determined to shatter the world.

"Lord Ichiro? Are you done on your end? I'm sorry, my opponent is a bit tricky." World flew to Ichiro's side and said in a low voice, somewhat apologetic.

"Why is it taking so long? With your strength, three mere Adjuchas in the Myriad Worlds shouldn't be a match for you." Ichiro frowned slightly as he looked at the two Adjuchas struggling below.

"There's nothing I can do. The Adjuchas at the front, which looks like a scorpion, has the ability to reflect Kido attacks, which is quite effective against me. I almost lost to him at first, but it's much better now. He should be nearing his limit."

Upon hearing this, Ichiro glanced at the scorpion-shaped Adjuchas a few more times and said with slight surprise, "Birds of a feather flock together, don't they? Their leader also possesses a similar ability. Kamui, have you discovered anything?"

Ichiro glanced at Kamui behind him. If Kamui was doing the same thing, then things were not looking good, because it meant that they were consciously forming a unified force, rather than simply gathering together.

This is not related to personal preferences, because in principle, a normal team should select people with different abilities to make the team more capable of responding. Unity is something that large, organized units do.

Unfortunately, to Ichiro's disappointment, Kamui shook his head and said, "I don't know, I'm better at close combat."

That's true. Although Kamui has become an Arrancar, his spiritual pressure is still insufficient, preventing him from using Cero, which is only available to Hollows. His combat power is strong enough, but his spiritual pressure is still lacking.

"Alright, forget it then. How long until it's resolved?" Ichiro asked, turning his head.

"It shouldn't be more than a minute. If it goes any faster, I'm worried we won't be able to maintain the Myriad Worlds."

"Alright, take your time. I'll go make preparations first. Kamui, you stay here with your World Auntie and watch how the Adjuchas below use their abilities. You also have your own abilities, so develop them as soon as possible!"

"Yes, Father!"

After giving his instructions, Ichiro returned to the space where Kamui had just fought, jumped to the slowly dissipating corpse of the Hollow, placed his right hand on it, and then activated his alchemy.

Gunpowder is ready, let's begin!

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

Chapter 118 Bringing Justice to Hueco Mundo!

As the alchemy was activated, the Hollows that had begun to dissipate began to converge in Ichiro's hand under his control. Soon, the commotion grew louder and louder, and the energy of more than a dozen Hollows was transformed into spiritual particles!

Under Ichiro's control, these spiritual particles were recombined and reconstructed into a spiritual version of TNT.

Actually, the most cost-effective way is still to farm mushrooms, but well, he doesn't know how to do that...

Although there were theoretical and technical information about mushrooms online during his first life, unfortunately, he was a liberal arts student. Even during that rebellious phase, he could only look at some recipes for making soap, salt, and sugar.

Atomic bomb?

What idiot would go online to look at this kind of thing? He's not a national researcher, so even if he could recall his memories, Ichiro wouldn't know how to do it.

So, as a second choice, we can only choose TNT. Anyway, the effects are about the same when the dosage is right!

Soon, a mountain-sized TNT appeared in front of Ichiro, weighing approximately 10,000 tons, and released about 4190 megajoules of energy upon detonation.

This might not be very intuitive, so let me give you an example. During World War II, the "Little Boy" bomb was designed to have a yield of 20,000 tons, but its actual detonation yield was 13,000 tons. In other words, what Ichiro was facing was a "Little Boy" bomb!

Of course, after the actual detonation, energy transmission may be somewhat lost, and the actual power may be a little lower, but it should be enough to deal with those Hollows outside.

It's not that he can't refine more; Ichiro's spiritual pressure in the Myriad Worlds is almost limitless. Let alone ten thousand, he could even reach a hundred thousand!

However, he was afraid that if there were any more, he wouldn't be able to escape...

After all, he didn't have any launch pads to airdrop; if he dropped this thing, he'd have to run away himself...

With a slight tremor in his heart, Ichiro put the mountain of TNT into a gourd-shaped spatial container. He had originally intended to hang it casually on his waist, but after thinking about it, he felt a little scared and decided to hold it obediently in his right hand.

Just then, a ripple appeared beside him, startling Ichiro so much that his right hand trembled. He realized it was the world where the battle had ended, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He vowed to play this thing less often in the future; it was too damn frustrating!

The world was puzzled for a moment, then she saw the gourd in his hand, covered her face and chuckled. In the Myriad Worlds, her authority was similar to Ichiro's, so she recognized the thing at a glance.

Fortunately, she's not the mischievous type. If she were someone like Shunsui who loves playing games, Ichiro would probably be scared to death right now...

"Is it resolved?"

"Yes, Mother... everything's been arranged with Kamui's mother, so there's nothing to worry about for now."

"Alright, don't deactivate Bankai for now. The moment I leave, switch to Yao... cough~ Endless Spiritual Power Mode."

"Hmph~" Although Ichiro quickly changed his words, Sekai still noticed and immediately snorted to express his dissatisfaction, then said, "Yaoyao... understands! Ichiro... sir!"

"Ahem~" Ichiro was a little embarrassed, so he coughed lightly, condensed a spirit blade in his left hand, and with a casual wave of his hand, appeared in the sky outside.

"Roar!!"

"alert!"

Who are you?!

As soon as Ichiro appeared, he saw a heavily guarded army composed of Hollows of the highest and lower ranks surrounding him.

Ichiro made no move, simply standing in the air, coldly watching them. Only after the transparent world floated above his head did he finally smile.

"Crack~"

Numerous virtual beings: "???"

Seeing Ichiro slap himself, a question mark appeared on the foreheads of the Hollows present. This Shinigami... is he out of his mind?

Ichiro slapped himself and successfully changed his expression, looking at the Hollows around him with grief and indignation, while drawing the Southern Sparrow from his waist with his left hand.

"With flames as your wings, soar through the skies, Sparrow of the South!"

"boom!"

Amidst feigned vigilance, blazing flames erupted from the sword, weaving into a pair of magnificent fiery wings behind Ichiro. Just when they thought Ichiro was about to attack, he suddenly flapped his wings and vanished...
