Death God: Sunny and Cheerful Boy

It doesn't look like the Senbonzakura has been subdued by Byakuya again, but rather it looks like Byakuya has surrendered to [Zanpakuto]!

He had not contacted Kyoraku and the others before, but after discovering this, he started investigating on his own.

"I have my own plans. You are not a god of death, so you should return to the human world." Byakuya said coldly with a straight face.

"What did you say?" Ichigo demanded angrily.

Byakuya: ...

The next moment, Ichigo and Byakuya started fighting - Byakuya's [Senbonzakura] had recovered the ability of [Shikai].

However, Ichigo, who was familiar with this move, easily rolled away the few "petals" with his [Heavenly Star] in the form of a boning knife.

But at this moment, "Senbonzakura" on the side directly used the ability of [Bankai]!

Suddenly more "petals" came to help...

Under the siege of the double "Senbonzakura", Ichigo gradually lost the battle and was about to use his [Bankai].

“卍……Ah!”

Ichigo was about to use his Bankai when he was suddenly attacked and kicked to the ground from behind!

At the same time, "Senbonzakura" took advantage of the situation to pursue, making Ichigo a little embarrassed for a while.

At this moment, Ichigo fell to the ground and saw a white-faced man wearing a white robe, eye shadow, and very long fingernails, suddenly appeared out of thin air - as if the space suddenly twisted and he appeared.

"What's wrong with your Zanpakuto? Let me take a look!" said the white-faced man, and then he reached out and stabbed Ichigo's chest.

That's right, it was Muramasa who was preparing to forcibly strip Ichigo of his [Zanpakutō]!

As for the other Zanpakutō that failed to be summoned, Muramasa could roughly feel that they had an aura of "hollowness" that made it impossible for him to communicate effectively.

Only Ichigo Kurosaki and Muramasa were completely confused!

But even so, Muramasa is confident that he can forcibly peel off his [Zanpakutō]...

……

At the same time, in Ichigo's inner world, Kyontensei took the opportunity to "rebel" again!

At this time, Muramasa only formed a small "black hole" in Ichigo's inner world, which did emit suction.

For other Zanpakuto, even a Zanpakuto of a third-class spirit or a Shinigami who has mastered Bankai will have no power to resist under this suction force, and a second-class spirit can only hold out for a while...

But now, Muramasa's suction power is certainly not enough to shake the Annihilating Star, and it's not even as good as a breeze on the face!

But at this time Xu Tianxing tried his best and wrestled with Mie Que Tianxing, trying desperately to push him out.

"This is Ichigo Kurosaki's inner world. If you think you are not Ichigo Kurosaki, get out!"

"Haha, the Quincy is also another side of Kurosaki Ichigo. You are the one who should get out."

……

Muramasa: ???

Muramasa didn't know what was happening. His own ability... seemed to have no effect at all. But at the same time, there was a force that desperately pulled his hand and urged him to use more force!

Now he couldn't pull his hand away, and Ichigo felt weak at this moment, thinking that it was Muramasa's doing.

However, even Muramasa, who is an expert in studying the inner world, did not understand what was happening at this time...

Ichigo let out a scream at this time, and Byakuya couldn't help but frowned when he saw it - Muramasa inserted his hand into Ichigo's chest, but it looked like... he was not injured?

Meanwhile, in Ichigo's inner world...

"You..." Mie Que Tianxing suddenly showed a look of surprise.

"Hehehe, do you want to continue?" Xu Tianxing made the voice of a smug villain.

Just now, Xu Tianxing discovered a good idea, which is to use the power of the village "pulling" outside to gradually release his own power!

In this way...

There are only two choices to destroy Tianxing!

Either he didn't suppress Xu Tianxing at all and let this guy who he considered a "trouble" go away completely;

Either he continues to keep the seal, but... he himself wants to get out!

If you choose the latter, most of the power of Xutian Star will still be sealed. Similarly, most of the power of Mietian Star will also be used in the seal, and only a small part will come out.

However, in this way, the remaining small part of Xutianxing that has not been sealed will completely take the initiative in the inner world and can completely release this small part of its power without being disturbed by Mieqitianxing!

If the former is chosen, the power of Antelope can indeed continue to occupy the control of Ichigo's inner world, and because there is nothing that needs to be sealed, it can be fully activated in Ichigo's body. However...Hyakutenboshi has also gained complete freedom to a certain extent.

This obviously does not conform to the idea of ​​destroying Tianxing...

The Quincy doesn't want Ichigo to become too strong - firstly, he hasn't figured out whether he is Kurosaki Ichigo or Yhwach; secondly, in his opinion, the stronger Ichigo is, the more likely he will be killed by the real Yhwach!

If they have to face a completely independent Hollow Sky then, the Quincy will have to "lend" all its power to Ichigo. At that time...

The Shinigami will find that the battle scene of "Ichigo and his Zanpakuto" alone is no less than the decisive battle between Yhwach and Yamamoto Shigekuni!

Not only would it make Kurosaki Ichigo too conspicuous, but it would also alert the "Zero Squad" and the "Invisible Empire"...

Therefore, Mie Que Tianxing had to maintain the seal while trying to get out himself.

At least in this way, neither himself nor Xu Tianxing's power will be released too much.

and……

In order to avoid being recognized, Mie Que Tianxing took some special "precautions"!

"Hahaha, bye! I hope you have fun out there and don't come back!" Xu Tianxing laughed sarcastically.

At the same time, Muramasa finally took out "something" - at this time he didn't know what was going on, he always felt... his ability shouldn't work like this?

The next moment, Ichigo also broke free from control and leaped backwards repeatedly.

Immediately, Ichigo's expression changed, as if he realized something - his own spiritual pressure seemed... a little strange?

There is some familiarity in the strangeness, but... it is different from the original after all!

"This... could it be..." Ichigo looked solemn.

At this moment, a "young man" in black clothes walked out from behind Muramasa!

"You are...Tensei's elder...brother?" Ichigo asked in surprise.

Destroy the Star: ...

Indeed, his facial features look very young, but... looking at his face shape and eyes, he is undoubtedly "Uncle Tianxing"!

"Uncle...Tenhoshi! Are you going to do that too..." Ichigo looked at the younger version of Tenhoshi in front of him in disbelief.

"Ichigo, what happens here has nothing to do with you. You should go back to the real world." Quincy said with a stern face.

Unlike other "brainwashed" sword beasts, although the Annihilating Star was "pulled out", its consciousness was not greatly affected.

The reason he wanted Ichigo to return to the "real world" at this time was because he really didn't want Ichigo to be involved in the mess of Seireitei again.

"What are you talking about?" Ichigo asked disappointedly when he saw his attitude.

Destroy the Star: ...

"In that case, it looks like I have no choice but to defeat you one more time, uncle!" Ichigo said, swinging his Zanpakuto in the form of a boning knife and rushing towards the Quincy.

At this time, Mie Que Tianxing also had an identical knife in his hand, and the two of them started to chop at each other...

but……

Then Ichigo discovered that even though Uncle Tensei did not have "Complete Shikai" or "Bankai", his fighting skills and even spiritual pressure were stronger than his own, and soon the [Zanpakutō] in Ichigo's hand was knocked away.

But just at this moment...

[Hehehe, Ichigo, long time no see.] The voice of Xu Tianxing sounded in Ichigo's mind.

The next moment, the bandage on the handle of the boning knife that had already been released from his hand naturally stretched out and wrapped around Ichigo's left hand. At this moment, the left half of Ichigo's body suddenly became uncontrollable...

Ichigo swung his left hand uncoordinatedly, and the boning knife immediately spun and circled towards the Quincy!

Mieque Tianxing's face turned dark at this time, and he realized that Xu Tianxing had intervened.

[Ichigo, let go of your body, I'll help you kill him! ] Xu Tianxing's manic and high-pitched voice sounded.

Of course, Xu Tianxing knew very well that it would be useless to kill Mie Que Tianxing at this time...

It might even be the case that killing him would allow the Quincy to return to Ichigo's inner world!

If the sword beast of another Shinigami's [Zanpakutō] was killed, it might really cause the [Zanpakutō] to be scrapped, but...

The Kūtenseiki and the Quincheseise are not Zanpakutō at all!

Xu Tianxing now wants to kill Mieque Tianxing, firstly to weaken him slightly, and secondly... simply to vent his anger, the latter of which is more important.

At the same time, the "Masked Hollow" appeared on half of Ichigo's face. Byakuya looked at this familiar scene with a serious expression.

Of course, what he is focusing on now is...

Where did Ichigo's [Masked Hollow] come from? Could it be...

Ding--

clang-

Swah——

After Ichigo lost his Zanpakutō, he became more and more courageous. He was able to suppress Tensei's sword beast with his incomplete Shikai--that's what Muramasa thought.

At the beginning, the Quincy actually had the advantage, but gradually, Ichigo's mask covered his entire face, and even his body began to turn white, and bone spurs even grew on his joints!

So while the two were fighting, while Ichigo was swinging the boning knife in his hand with a bandage to attack from a distance, Muramasa once again used his ability that seemed to distort the surrounding space to go behind Ichigo and launched a sneak attack with his Zanpakutō that looked like a "shallow attack"!

Indeed, with one blow of the sword, the [Death Garb] on Ichigo's back broke, splattering a bunch of blood, but the wound was not deep - Muramasa's face changed, this kind of defense is not like that of the god of death!

And immediately afterwards, the shallow wound on Ichigo's back healed instantly, revealing his intact bone-white skin again!

At the same time, Ichigo, with a ferocious mask, turned his head and swung his sword, forcing Muramasa to retreat.

Seeing this, Quetianxing's face darkened: "Muramasa, and the two over there, you go. This is a fight between Ichigo and me."

Muramasa looked at Mie Que Tianxing in surprise. Logically, he should be on his side now!

For example, those "sword beasts" who were defeated by the god of death and fought alongside their masters again were freed from the "brainwashing", and Muramasa would be able to notice it.

However, now, "Tenxing" has surpassed this point. It has not been defeated or released from control, but it is also not under its own control. It is because the "brainwashing" has not had much effect - Muramasa has seen this situation before, for example, Kyōraku's [Zanpakutō] is also in the same situation now.

It’s just that... "Tianxing" didn’t seem to want to join forces with his master for some other subjective reasons, which was exactly what Muramasa wanted.

Byakuya didn't have so many thoughts. He was just shocked by Ichigo's level of hollowness, or rather, shocked by what this represented...

Then Byakuya turned around and said to Senbonzakura, "Let's go."

"I don't need you to order me around!" Senbonzakura said immediately angrily.

Senbonzakura is wearing armor that looks a bit bulky and a mask. It is a style that was completely pre-popular before the "Shinigami costume" became popular, which shows that his aesthetic is retro. He is a bit shorter than Byakuya.

At the same time, one can hear that his voice is even a little childish...

If you take off the mask, you can see his face that is the same as Byakuya's when he was young!

He does sound like a teenager, and his tone is rebellious.

And his magnified dissatisfaction is exactly his dissatisfaction with the grown-up Byakuya - he is cautious in doing things, bound by rules and honor. Although his utilitarianism is suppressed, making him much nobler than other nobles, his judgment of good and evil is also suppressed...

At this moment, Muramasa suddenly felt that another [Zanpakuto] had returned to Soul Society, and... it was very powerful and could also communicate!

So he also gave up on Ichigo, turned around and left. Before leaving, he looked at "Tenxing" deeply.

After Mie Que Tianxing drove away the "troublemaker", just when Xu Tianxing wanted to let go and fight...

Click——

At this time, Ichigo actually inserted his fingers into his mask, and then broke the mask off with force!

Xu Tianxing: ...
