The Alchemist in Bleach

"Boom boom boom~~~"

"Roar!!"

"Ahoo!!!"

Watching the Hollow roar amidst the pollution, Ichiro smiled faintly. He was quite satisfied with the debut of the Soul Core Bomb. However, the pollution ability probably wouldn't last long. After all, Barragan possessed the power of "aging," which was essentially related to the power of time. Destroying it would be far too easy.

Sure enough, before the contaminated Hollow could develop further disease, a black ripple swept in, and the contaminated elements, along with the Hollow, turned to ashes and vanished completely.

"Clap clap~"

"As expected of His Majesty Barragan, such powerful strength. By the way, are you all so heartless? There was clearly still hope, or is it that Your Majesty is simply unable to do it?" Upon arriving in front of Hueco Mundo, Ichiro disbanded the demonic dragon, tucked it back into his waistband, and stood in the air, speaking slowly.

"I don't need you to teach me how to do things. But what are you doing here on my turf, Poison Star, one of the Twin Stars of Death? Are you in such a hurry to die?"

"Twin Stars? Poison Star? What the hell is this? Never mind, none of that matters. I'm here today to ask you something." Looking at Barragan slowly emerging, Ichiro activated the Soul King's Hand as he asked, "Why did you help Ales ambush Yoruichi half a year ago?"

"What do you mean 'why'? Does a Hollow need a reason to kill a god?" Barragan scoffed, clearly disdainful of Ichiro's question, yet he was on high alert.

Although he was an arrogant man, he was definitely not stupid. His current strength was all earned through fighting his way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. The moment he saw Ichiro, he had a strange feeling that if he made a move, he would die...

There was no way around it; the look in those eyes was far too confident. And considering that one of the Twin Stars had severely damaged the entire Hueco Mundo in just six months, he didn't think this guy was an arrogant Shinigami.

"No reason needed? Okay, I get my answer. So, the Grim Reaper doesn't need a reason to kill Hollows either, right?" With that, he snapped his fingers with his left hand and softly chanted, "Puppet Showdown!"

Like a spirit core bomb, faint Kido spell patterns and ripples reappeared behind Ichiro. However, this time, it was not a spirit core bomb, but six hundred Future Warriors!

Two hundred first-generation live ammunition missiles, two hundred first-generation spirit core missiles, and two hundred second-generation spirit missiles! (Spirit missiles are energy rays)

The three types of ammunition, each equipped with different types, can form a dense barrage when attacked alternately. Their attacks are completely controlled by the Moon Spirit in the Soul King's hand. Although the Twelfth Division has developed a Spirit Particle version of the local area network, it does not have a Spirit Particle version of artificial intelligence.

The main reason is that it's unnecessary, because she can create souls herself and doesn't have much need for that. Therefore, no matter how much Ichiro hints, Kiryuki is not interested in this aspect, so he has no choice but to stop his Gundam army plan.

With the almost miraculous Dream System of the Spirit King's Hand, simulating a Spirit Particle LAN to connect six hundred Future Warriors is a piece of cake. Not to mention six hundred, even if it were ten times that, it would be a breeze!

"Fire."

At Ichiro's calm command, Barragan's expression changed!

Yes, although it's a skull, it's quite obvious.

"Boom boom~~~"

The continuous explosions echoed in his ears. He was about to make a move to eliminate these attacks, but then he stopped. He had a feeling that this kid was deliberately trying to provoke him!

"Go! Destroy those things!"

Under the overwhelming firepower of the Future Warriors, nearly a thousand Gillian and countless lower-ranking Hollows below were completely unable to raise their heads, making even survival difficult, let alone launching a counterattack.

No, that's not right. There was a counterattack. Those brainless Gillian were charging towards Ichiro under the barrage of fire, only to be torn to shreds by the barrage. As for those with intelligence, who with a normal brain would withstand such an attack?

Therefore, even though Barragán gave the order, it had little effect, with only a dozen or so Achukas charging forward.

Upon seeing this, Ichiro narrowed his eyes slightly.

'There really are only a dozen or so Adjuchas... This number... doesn't seem right. Could it be that some of them, like that Hollow, were sent out and haven't returned?'

Thoughts raced through his mind, but his hands moved swiftly. With a change of spell, the space behind him expanded once more, from which dozens of Future Warrior 2.0s burst forth.

Future Soldier 2.0 is not the second generation. If the second generation were to use a numbering system, it would be 1.1. 1.0 is actually just a CNC turret that has been given a humanoid form. Its only function is to fire cannons. So the name Future Soldier is just for fun.

However, 2.0 is different. This is a Gundam created by Ichiro with the help of the Heavenly Intelligence Field, who initially integrated all of his own technologies!

It possesses all the capabilities of version 1.0, and on top of that, it is equipped with a power system, a combat system, a spirit particle defense system, and a spirit particle enhancement system. These systems, bound together by the omnipotent power of the Spirit King, form this crude combat robot.

Yes, Ichiro took a shortcut here. Strictly speaking, this is not a Gundam. It is just a thing forcibly stitched together from various systems. Without the power of the Spirit King, this thing is just scrap metal, and the power of the Spirit King is not its power source.

With his current technical skills, he is not capable of completing his ideal Gundam. However, a Frankenstein's monster will do. In any case, he only wants to see if this thing can be used on high-end battlefields. If it is useful, he can focus on studying it later. He has plenty of time.

As soon as these dozens of Future Soldier 2.0s appeared, they charged straight at Adjuchas. Their bodies were wrapped in visible Kido power. They might not be as good as Adjuchas in a one-on-one fight, but they were more than enough in a two-on-one situation.

One of the injured spider-form Adjuchas was almost taken down!

Seeing this, Ichiro smiled faintly. In any case, this path was feasible!

It was worth it.

After all, Adjuchas is not weak. In the current Soul Society, some captains might not be able to defeat him. After all, one Adjuchas is equivalent to four or five Kensei, and the stronger ones can even be seven or eight Kensei!

As long as this possibility exists, that's enough. The rest is up to Ichiro...

However, people's joys and sorrows are not shared. Compared to Ichiro's satisfaction, Barragan in Hueco Mundo was very unhappy. After all, his people were dying below. Every second wasted meant that dozens of Hollows would die. If this continued, he would lose all his resources!

"Ascat, Szayelaporro, you two go! Destroy that guy and all his toys!"

"Yes, Your Majesty Barragán!" x2

So the two Vasto Lorde-class Hollows charged toward Ichiro.

Seeing this, Ichiro laughed excitedly, raised his left hand, and shouted, "Come out! Burst God Machine!"

"hoop!!!"

The space had barely begun to fluctuate when Ascat and Szayelaporro abruptly stopped, staring in disbelief at the ape-like robot slowly emerging from the spatial ripples. This was... Vastod-level spiritual pressure!

No, it's not spiritual pressure. It's another kind of energy that's very similar in nature to spiritual pressure. This power can threaten them!

Ichiro took in the movements of the two Hollows, and his smile grew even brighter.

Like Future Soldier 2.0, Burst Machine is also a Frankenstein's monster, but unlike Future Soldier 2.0, it is a high-level Frankenstein's monster!

All systems and materials are of the highest grade, even different from the pure metals of the Future Soldier series. Half of the materials in Burst Soldier are biological materials, and its data comes from the gorilla Hollow that Ichiro killed before.

Ichiro's initial positioning of this was aimed at Vastod!

If the Future Soldier 2.0 just now only gave Ichiro a glimmer of hope, then the performance of Burst God Machine at this moment has shown Ichiro the future of this path to heaven!

"Go, Bursting Machine!"

The eyes of the Bursting Divine Machine flashed red, and just like version 2.0, a large amount of demonic power enveloped the machine. It then rushed towards the battlefield at an extremely fast speed. This was the application of the Eight Thousand Streams Sword technique. Of course, the power of the Eight Thousand Streams Sword was constant, and the technique itself was not perfect.

It's very simple. A normal power system simply cannot handle such a massive energy consumption. This is currently being consumed by the power of the Spirit King.

Gundam, at present, all I can say is that its future is very bright...

Ichiro stood quietly in the air, facing off against Barragan, ignoring the Burst God below who was gradually losing ground against the two opponents. Every second that lasted in this battle was a gain for him. As long as he could use his ultimate move to kill one Vastode when he left, even if all these future warriors perished here, it would be worth it!

Including the Explosive Machine!

Therefore, Ichiro calmly met Barragan's gaze. After all, it wasn't his men who were dying; the one who would give out first would definitely be the other side...

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

Chapter 131 He's getting anxious!

Ichiro and Barragan gaze at each other with deep affection. Below, countless mindless Gillian and lower-class Hollows charge towards Ichiro under heavy fire. Meanwhile, Adjuchas is locked in fierce combat with Future Soldier 2.0. Three Future Soldier 2.0 units have been destroyed, but one Adjuchas unit has also been killed.

Judging from the comparison of combat strength, Ichiro is clearly at a slight disadvantage.

But don't forget, Ichiro's side is capable of mass production!

Even if you trade three for one, or even ten for one, Ichiro would still be making a profit.

Yes, Hollows can grow quickly by absorbing other Hollows, but how much power can a Hollow grown in this way have?

Unless their abilities are extremely special, like Wanda Weiss who was specially trained by Aizen in the original work, specifically to target a particular person, most of them are just mediocre trash.

On the other hand, Ichiro can simply build another batch; it only requires a few materials, and because he has collected enough data, his combat power will increase even further.

Including the Bursting Divine Machine, Ichiro also sees it as a tool for collecting data. He wouldn't be heartbroken if it broke, because it was made entirely by alchemy. As long as he had enough spiritual particles, he could have as many of these things as he wanted.

What truly matters is the data, the strengths and weaknesses revealed in this battle. Only by understanding this data can he better optimize his strategy later. Therefore, even though the Burst God Machine below was badly damaged by the two Vastodes, he still...

'Huh? Completely ruined? Holy crap!'

Ichiro's heart tightened. Although the destruction of the Exploding Divine Machine in this battle was already in his plan, it wouldn't happen so quickly. It seemed that he would have to find a way to strengthen the computing power of the Spirit Particle Local Area Network, or reduce the number of connections.

In terms of strength, Burst God Machine would absolutely crush them in a one-on-one fight. It might be slightly at a disadvantage in a two-on-one fight, but it wouldn't be beaten to this extent.

The reason lies in its lack of combat skills, or rather, the insufficient computing power allocated to it. It is a product forcibly glued together by the power of the Spirit King, so its computing power requirements are already very high. It is understandable that it is now linked with so many units.

Just because it's acceptable doesn't mean we have to accept it. We can do without the Explosive Divine Machine, but at least we have to properly consume all its energy and squeeze out all its value before it dies. Dying now would be too much of a loss.

Therefore, Ichiro raised his hand and fired two No. 73 Double Lotus Azure Fire Drops to stop them from continuing their attack. At the same time, he placed a Sky-Splitter in front of the Exploding Divine Machine to give it time to recover.

The high-speed incantation, combined with the breaking incantation, represents another breakthrough in Kido techniques, elevating Ichiro's Kido level to a new level. Unfortunately, this is currently the limit of the danmaku style; any further and his spiritual pressure will be insufficient, unless he uses Bankai.

However, Bankai is a completely different level of combat. Therefore, Ichiro's current research on Kido techniques leans towards micro-management, using the least amount of spiritual pressure to deliver the highest output.

Of course, these aren't for dealing damage right now; they're just buying time for the Burst God Machine. Half of its body is biological tissue, and the original sample of this biological tissue came from Vastod.

Therefore, Ichiro discovered that when it was linked with other systems under the influence of the Soul King's power, it also possessed the characteristic of super-fast regeneration!

This discovery led Ichiro to make many changes to it, such as making the external armor and the main body mostly composed of these biological tissues, which could maximize its combat effectiveness.

The same thing happened now. In just two or three seconds, the Explosive Divine Machine was almost fully restored!

This made the two Vastodes' hearts sink. As time went on, things weren't looking good; their losses of Voidlings were increasing...

Of course, amidst their anxiety, they couldn't help but wonder why His Majesty hadn't made a move yet. With His Majesty's power, these guys could be wiped out with a flick of his wrist. Could it be...?

However, they quickly dismissed the thought, for His Majesty Barragán was supreme in their hearts!

However, what they didn't know was that Barragán was also getting impatient and wanted to make a move several times, but he stopped whenever he saw Ichiro, who was eager to try.

There was no way around it; he was truly terrified of Ichiro. In just six months, the entire Hueco Mundo had suffered a severe blow!

Countless innocent people died tragically because of it!

Most importantly, neither his subordinates nor other Hollows could find their whereabouts. They came and went without a trace, and every time they appeared, they gave Hueco Mundo a big "surprise".

But after a moment's thought, Barragan made up his mind. He couldn't let things continue like this. He had to take action. If things continued like this, he, the King of Hueco Mundo, would be all alone! Let him test whether it was just bluffing or not!

With a slight raise of his left hand, a massive amount of black spiritual pressure gathered—this was the ultimate technique of the Great Hollow City—Cero!

'Come on, let this old man see what you're really planning!'

Thinking this, a black Cero (not Black Cero, just black in color, but with a power similar to that of the King Cero) shot towards the humanoid CNC turrets behind Ichiro. This scene made Ichiro sigh slightly. Now, he couldn't hide it anymore, and both strategies were about to fail.

'Tsk~ Troublesome, why not use the power of aging at the start?'

With a sigh, Ichiro's figure instantly appeared in front of the black Cero. He opened his right hand, and the silver patterns on his black glove flashed slightly. After a moment of stalemate, the huge black Cero turned into a black gem in Ichiro's hand!

Barragan stared at this scene, his jaw dropping in surprise. Where did his massive Cero go? How did it suddenly disappear?

'Is it some kind of sealing ability? Did it seal my Cero into that black gem? No, it shouldn't be a sealing ability. Sealing can't counter time. My abilities can still be detected in Hueco Mundo if someone is willing to investigate. So, either he's hiding something, deliberately misleading my assumptions, or he has other methods to counter my abilities. But, Twin Stars of the Shinigami~ today I'll show you my power, which isn't just based on abilities!'
