The Alchemist in Bleach

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and black phantom bullets rained down like raindrops.

Cero: The principle is the same as Cero, but the power is much weaker, but the speed is 20 times that of Cero. It is usually used to clear out small enemies.

A hint of helplessness flashed in Ichiro's eyes. He knew this would happen. His original plan was to lure Barragan into using the power of death, and then take the opportunity to use alchemy to analyze and decompose his structure. If he couldn't decompose it, he would consider the second plan, which was to use spatial ghost magic to send the part tainted by the power of death into Barragan's body and completely destroy him.

Now that he has failed, even if Barragan is unaware of his alchemical abilities, it is unlikely that he will use the power of death. Why would you launch a missile when you could solve the problem with an electric mosquito swatter?

Of course, the difference between them isn't that big, but that's roughly the idea.

With a sigh, the Spirit King's hand glowed slightly, releasing a large amount of pale blue mist-like energy that quickly formed an incredibly wide one-way barrier, blocking the subsequent void projectiles.

Although the attack only shot down a few dozen Future Soldier aircraft, Barragan laughed. He roughly understood the reason why Ichiro dared to confront him: he had simply mastered some methods that might counter his death power.

However, his success today wasn't solely due to the power of death...

Barragan stepped out of Hueco Mundo step by step, walking towards the sky. His terrifying spiritual pressure was slowly released, and at the same time, the death power that had been constantly surrounding him was completely absorbed into his body.

Seeing this, Ichiro sighed again. The plan had completely failed. However, they could not leave just yet. This operation was their last activity in Hueco Mundo. It was estimated that the Central Chamber 46 would not allow them to set foot here easily for decades or even centuries to come. Therefore, they had to maximize their profits this time!

With his right hand gently resting on the first Zanpakuto hanging at his left waist—The World—he softly uttered, "Bankai—All Things World!"

........

Meanwhile, Urahara and Yoruichi, who had split up with Ichiro, rode on the back of the gigantic Hollow Crow and sped towards Alers' territory. At the same time, they reassigned tasks based on the Hollow Crow's real-time intelligence.

Arles was left to Yoruichi to deal with. A few years ago, they could barely win against ordinary captain-level opponents by fighting desperately and going all out. But now, they don't need to go all out; ordinary captains are no match for them.

Ichiro has received special training from Captain Unohana, but the two of them are backed by the Shihouin family, one of the five great noble families, so their resources won't be lacking either. As for Yoruichi, with her Mimicry Shikai and Shunko, ordinary captain-level opponents are no match for her.

Of course, this level is still somewhat different from Vasto Lorde, but don't forget that Yoruichi also has Shunko-san II, that imperfect suicide move. Although Yoruichi's pride wouldn't make her consider it the complete version just because she has the Fullbring technique, Super Regeneration, she's not a rigid person. As long as she can defeat the enemy, she doesn't mind using it. After all, Fullbring is also a form of her own strength.

Arles was entrusted to Yoruichi for revenge, while Urahara's target was the seven super-powerful Adjuchas, hundreds of Gillian, and a large number of newly gathered lower-ranking Hollows.

The pressure he faced was no less than that of Yoruichi, because although the number of Adjuchas on Alers' side was not large, each one of them possessed captain-level strength, making them stronger than ordinary Adjuchas!

This is why Ichiro said the experimental traces were obvious. It's not that he looked down on Alers, but he really didn't think that Alers was strong enough to subdue such a powerful Adjuchas.

But what does it matter to them that Death is behind him?

Anyone who dares to attack Yoruichi, even if the Shinigami had not informed them, Urahara would still kill them without hesitation!

"We've arrived. This is Alers' territory. It seems they knew we were coming all along. They not only gathered a large number of lower-level Hollows, but they even renovated their territory. You were right, this place is indeed very important." Looking at the territory below, which was filled with war machines, Yoruichi nodded.

"Heh~ That's natural. In Hueco Mundo, it's not easy to develop properly. When our base didn't have Ichiro's spatial control at the beginning, it was also difficult to develop. The same applies here."

"So what do we do? Those things must be quite troublesome, right?" Yoruichi asked, pointing to the war machines below.

"It's alright, it won't have a big impact. I'll handle this. You focus on dealing with Alers."

Yoruichi gave Urahara a deep look and nodded: "Understood, I'll go then."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared on the back of the Void Crow and sped off towards the direction of Alers's spiritual pressure. Urahara, on the other hand, lightly touched the ground with his toes and jumped up to stand in the air, while the Void Crow shrank and stood on his shoulder.

After teasing the lifelike Void Crow on his shoulder, Urahara took out a packet of powder from his storage equipment, opened it, and then let it fall onto the ground below.

"Is the Grim Reaper behind this a fool? Or does he look down on someone? Doesn't he know that spirit particles are very unstable things?"

He shook his head dismissively, ignoring the various war machines below that were beginning to dissipate due to the powder contamination, and began to continuously pull out the Void Transformation Divine Body from his storage equipment and throw it down.

Unlike Ichiro, Urahara rarely focuses on developing flashy props or Kido techniques. He prefers practicality and fun. For example, with the powder just now, if it were Ichiro, he would add golden effects to make it look nicer, and he would tie his hands behind his back or something. And for this one, Ichiro would use Kido techniques to summon it, instead of just throwing it out like he does.

So sometimes Urahara really wonders, what fancy things do you need to express someone's handsomeness? Handsome people are handsome even without makeup!

Some of the Hollows that fell from the sky absorbed the overflowing spiritual pressure and successfully became Hollows during their descent, while others only transformed after being attacked by Cero.

Some of those who successfully transform will be killed by concentrated fire on the way, but this also means that one Hollow will die as a result!

Urahara didn't believe that these mediocre people had enough resources to support them in completing the Breaker.

However, only the first few were targeted. After the first Transcendent Body became weak and began to slaughter, the rest of the group descended into complete chaos!

They've descended into a frenzied killing spree!

Urahara glanced at the setup to make sure it wasn't disrupted, then drew Benihime, shifted his stance, and charged towards the Adjuchas. He couldn't let them interfere with Yoruichi's revenge.

Forbidden Technique: Spatial Displacement!

A spatial fluctuation spread out, and before the seven Adjuchas could react to what was happening, they found themselves all standing in front of a Grim Reaper. They stared at each other in bewilderment, then grinned maliciously. A mere Grim Reaper dared to stand before them? Did he think he was the boss?

Seeing the Adjuchas whose anxious expressions disappeared after being moved over, Urahara was somewhat bewildered: "You guys were just putting on an act just now? You didn't actually want to save Alers, did you?"

"Who cares if that guy dies... No, we're in a hurry! Get out of the way, don't block our way to save Yales... Boss!"

"..." Looking at the werewolf Adjuchas who only shouted and didn't move an inch, Urahara was speechless. Sure enough, there was a Grim Reaper behind Adjuchas. At this moment, he was no longer in a hurry.

Urahara felt that they were quite intelligent, and he wanted to see if he could get information about the Grim Reaper behind them, since that was the real culprit!

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

Chapter 132 Instantaneous Coaxing, Second Stage!

"Who is your boss? What's his name?"

Facing the curious Urahara, the werewolf sneered disdainfully: "Heh~ Don't think I'm stupid! Do you think I'd say our boss is a Grim Reaper? Let me tell you, you'll never guess our boss's name is AI... Hey, what are you doing, you stupid snake!!! Are you looking for death?"

Unfortunately, only the werewolf's intelligence was a bit lacking, and his companions stopped him from doing such an idiotic thing.

"Fool!" The snake-man Adjuchas glared at him coldly. "Idiot! You almost blurted it out! You shouldn't have known about this!"

The werewolf was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was happening and glared angrily at Urahara: "You bastard! You tricked me!"

"Um~ But I already knew all of this. You don't know the names, do you? I doubt it~" Urahara looked at the werewolf Hollow with a suspicious look, seemingly very puzzled that he didn't know this.

"Damn it! Who said I didn't know! The boss's name is..."

"Pfft!"

However, this time his companions wouldn't give him another chance. Before he could even speak, the snake-man's tail pierced his brain from behind like a sharp spear!

"Idiot! Attack him! This guy is stalling for time!"

"I don't need you to give orders, you serpent!"

As soon as the snake-man finished speaking, the other Hollows charged towards Urahara while cursing angrily.

Urahara sighed, rubbing his forehead. It was a pity he almost got a little bit of information about the mastermind. But it was just an extra, so it didn't matter.

"Bind him! Hong Ji!"

With a horizontal swing of his Zanpakuto, a black and red spiritual pressure mark appeared in front of him, hovering in the air. A moment later, a large number of black and red ribbons shot out from it, heading towards the six Hollows charging towards him!

The serpent's heart skipped a beat. He and the three Adjuchas behind him retreated swiftly, avoiding the belt, and looked over in horror. They had just sensed the presence of death above them...

The first two Adjuchas also sensed this aura, but they were too close to avoid it. They could only release all their spiritual pressure the moment they made contact, preparing to break free of the restraints immediately!

Then, with a "snap," the black and red spiritual pressure band broke...

It broke off easily, leaving the two Adjuchas bewildered eyes, and then slowly dissipated...

"Hahahaha~~~ Hahahaha~~" The two, relieved to have escaped unscathed, burst into laughter, mocking each other mercilessly. "I thought it was some powerful move, but it's just a fancy display! Hahahaha~~~"

However, is it so easy to catch Urahara's attacks?

Binding Red Princess won't deliver a fatal blow to the opponent...

The two men, laughing loudly, were now filled with arrogance and a hint of anger—anger at themselves for being tricked by such a petty trick!

However, in their arrogance and anger, they failed to notice the smile playing on Urahara's lips, and the terrified look in their companions' eyes behind them...

Under the watchful eyes of the five people, the two bodies were slowly, piece by piece, disintegrating!

Transformed into the most basic spiritual particles!

"What is this??? Aaaaaah~ What did you do to me, you bastard???"

"Damn it! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!!!!"

As the disintegration expanded, the two gradually noticed something amiss: their bodies were slowly dissipating, yet they felt no pain. This bizarre scene filled them with endless terror...

The two unleashed their spiritual pressure wildly, launching wave after wave of attacks in all directions, as if they could suppress the strangeness within them. However, it had no effect whatsoever.

On the contrary, their crazy actions caused their spiritual particles to operate at high speed, which accelerated their collapse!

The Spirit Particle Disintegration Drug is a spirit particle-like drug developed by Urahara under the influence of the spirit particle virus collected by Ichiro. Its only function is to disintegrate all spirit particle structures!

This thing is an absolute weapon of mass destruction for Soul Society and Hueco Mundo, which are based on spirit particles.

Ignoring the difference in spiritual pressure, without Urahara's healing, touching it would be certain death!

This is one of the ultimate techniques he spent half a year developing; the weakened version of it was used to destroy those war machines.

Of course, theoretically speaking, the one we're using now is a weakened version. The full version can disintegrate all spiritual particle structures, and even space itself would be damaged. Because it's too dangerous, it was sent to the mortal world long ago and sealed in a place without spiritual particles. What we've been researching for the past six months is this weakened version.

It can be mixed into Benihime's spiritual pressure belt to cause widespread infection.

Just now, with a mere touch, the bodies of the two Adjuchas began to disintegrate rapidly, ultimately dissipating into spirit particles amidst their piercing screams...

The remaining six Adjuchas shuddered at the sight. Those wails just now weren't from pain; on the contrary, they could tell that the two guys felt no pain at all!

That's terrifying. The body slowly collapses without any sensation, and you can only watch helplessly.

The most terrifying thing in the world is not death itself, but the process of waiting for that inevitable death...

When the four recovered from their deaths, they were shocked to find themselves surrounded by a dense array of black and red ribbons. Not far away, Urara stood amidst several of these ribbons, a smile playing on his lips as he quietly watched them.

They were very familiar with that look in their eyes, because they had seen it the same way when they hunted Hollows before...

"Fight him! Otherwise we'll all die!" After saying this, the Snake Man Hollow gathered a red Cero and shot it towards Urahara!

The other three were not to be outdone, unleashing a deluge of phantom bullets upon Urahara.

"A barrage attack? Yours is far inferior to Ichiro's~" Dodging the Cero, Urahara's body, wielding Benihime, suddenly began to dance. "Dance, Benihime!"

As he moved, the black and red spiritual pressure belts began to dance wildly in the small space, making the four people's hearts pound with fear!

Fortunately, after these few exchanges, they understood the characteristics of this spiritual pressure belt. It should be carrying some kind of potent poison. The threat is the poison itself, while the belt's power is very weak. Even their Hollow bullets can knock it away or even shatter it.

With this, the four men gained more confidence, and a barrage of bullets rained down on Urahara, deflecting all the black and red ribbons along the way!

The four were also prepared; they would strike immediately if Urahara showed any weakness!

However.......

"Pfft~"

"Explode, Red Princess!"
