The journey from the Quincy

Moreover, ordinary residents felt as if a huge stone was pressing on their chest, heavy and filled with inexplicable panic.

If this continues, Ichigo Kurosaki's overwhelming spiritual pressure might accidentally crush some weak humans.

"This kid...what happened to him?"

The cheap father, Kurosaki Isshin, muttered, "It's like he's telling everyone that he's so anxious that he's about to cry."

While Kurosaki Isshin was still confused, Saruaki Hiyori and Yadomaru Lisa had already rushed over following the spiritual pressure and gave Ichigo a big kick in the face.

Chapter 24: Ichigo's Lost Soul

"it hurts!"

Ichigo covered his face and finally calmed down.

"Hey, Ichigo, what's wrong with you? What happened? Where's that bald guy Urahara Kisuke?"

Hiyori asked with concern after she finished kicking him.

Although she has the image of a rude and violent little gangster, she actually cares more about Kurosaki Ichigo than her cheap father Kurosaki Isshin and her sinister master Urahara Kisuke.

When all the sinister and vicious Shinigami tacitly agreed to sacrifice Ichigo, she was the only one who truly stood on Ichigo's side and considered it, and was worried about Ichigo's safety. She questioned Kisuke Urahara's intentions and clearly expressed her hatred for Kisuke Urahara and the Shinigami.

However, it seemed that her past experiences had made Saruaki Hiyori completely see through and hate the god of death, and she no longer wanted to be a god of death.

Even after the Aizen incident, he still stayed in the human world, unwilling to return to Soul Society with Hirako and the others to become a god of death.

“I’m sorry. The gate that Urahara-san opened in Hueco Mundo was not for Soul Society, but for me to return to the human world… I was anxious because I couldn’t rush to support Soul Society. In addition, my companions were captured by the enemy, and Urahara-san stayed behind to cover them. He hasn’t returned yet, so I felt uneasy and couldn’t control my emotions for a while.”

Ichigo Kurosaki said with great guilt, his heart was in great torment at the moment, the sadness almost overflowed from his chest, and one could tell at a glance that he was a sad young man.

Hiyori took off her shoes, jumped up, and slammed them hard on Ichigo's head, yelling, "Stupid baldy!"

“It hurts! Hiyori, you…”

Ichigo Kurosaki screamed in pain and couldn't help but cover his head, his mood suddenly breaking away from the gloom.

"Since that bald guy Urahara chose to let you return to the human world directly, it means that he thinks this is the best choice. Even if he doesn't have time to leave, it is his own choice!

Since it is too late now and rushing to Soul Society will not help, what you should do now is not to be unwilling, blame yourself, or regret here, but to regroup in the real world, rest and train well, collect intelligence on the enemy, and fight back next time! "

Hiyori said as she kicked Ichigo's knee hard.

"Hiss~ I get it. Thank you, Hiyori."

Ichigo Kurosaki took a deep breath at first, but he was not angry. Instead, he thanked Hiyori.

Because this is Hiyori comforting Ichigo in her own way, and Ichigo Kurosaki, who is sensitive and gentle at heart, can feel her kindness.

"careful!"

Lisa, who had been watching silently, suddenly drew her sword and shouted.

Ichigo and Hiyori looked back and saw a huge black cavity opened behind them. A large blue ball of light several meters long was rushing out at a very fast speed and flew towards everyone. The two of them immediately dodged, while Lisa slashed at it with her sword.

With a "swish" sound, the sharp blade light cut through the spirit particle membrane, revealing Urahara Kisuke's wrinkled face inside.

"It was so dangerous, Miss Yadomaru, you almost cut me in two~"

Urahara Kisuke patted his chest as if jokingly or fearfully.

However, what greeted him was not comfort, but a flying kick to the face from Hiyori and a sharp and meaningful look from Lisa Yadomaru that contained a hint of disgust.

"Put your clothes on me, baldy!"

Hiyori was as young as a child. Her flying kick sent the old and weak Urahara Kisuke flying out. His face was disfigured and swollen as blood spurted out of the air.

"Mr. Urahara? Great!"

Kurosaki Ichigo was stunned for a moment, then rushed over in surprise, grabbed the old man in mid-air and shook him madly, "Are you okay, Mr. Urahara? Why are you so weak? Did the enemy trick you?"

"Gently, gently, don't be so rough, Mr. Kurosaki. Hiss... it hurts!"

Urahara Kisuke was nearly shaken to pieces by Ichigo. He could only push Ichigo's strong chest with one hand weakly, while covering his swollen face like a pig's head and plugging his bleeding nose, and spoke in a muffled voice.

"Ah, sorry, Urahara-san. I didn't realize you were so vulnerable right now."

Ichigo Kurosaki accidentally broke the shoulder bone of old Urahara Kisuke, who suffered from osteoporosis, and had to put Urahara Kisuke down in a panic. However, Urahara Kisuke seemed to be completely floating in the air and did not fall down, just like some powerless spirits he had seen floating around when he was a child.

"It looks like he has lost all his spiritual power. The situation is very tricky."

Yadomaru Lisa said with a frown.

"What did you say?"

Ichigo Kurosaki was shocked when he heard this and couldn't believe it at all.

"Ah, I have indeed lost all my strength, otherwise my flying kick would not have been so easy to hit this bald guy."

Hiyori affirmed, and then kicked Ichigo who was dazed and blaming himself, "Hey, let's go! What are you still daydreaming about, Ichigo?"

"Ah? Now? Where to?"

Ichigo Kurosaki looked confused.

"Idiot! Of course I'm going to this bald guy's own grocery store... Could it be that he wants you to bury his soul in Soul Society?

Ichigo, you've lost your power several times. If this bald guy can restore your power, then he must have a way to restore his own power.

Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Take this bald guy back to his own nest to recuperate now!"

Hiyori said impatiently.

"That's right! Mr. Urahara has so many ideas, there must be a way to recover."

The dazed Ichigo suddenly realized what was going on and quickly grabbed Urahara Kisuke and rushed towards Urahara's store.

During the flight, Ichigo recalled the spiritual sword that was infused with the spiritual pressure of all members of the Gotei 13, and the first time Rukia inserted it into his body to transmit the power of the god of death.

Perhaps, Mr. Urahara doesn't need to figure out a way himself. He can just stab Mr. Urahara and transfer the spiritual pressure to him to replenish the now weakened Mr. Urahara.

As if he had already considered what Ichigo would think, Urahara Kisuke, who was unable to open his eyes due to the wind, whispered in Ichigo's ear: "Mr. Kurosaki, my current situation is very special, you must not inject power directly into my body.

I didn't have time to tell you just now that I didn't escape back on my own, but was deliberately let back by the enemy. The enemy must have done something to me, so I need to go back and examine myself carefully."

Urahara Kisuke doesn't want Ichigo to transfer the power of the god of death to him. On the one hand, he is afraid of Byakutsuki Hitomi and is afraid that in the process Ichigo's power will be stolen by the other party in an unknown way, so he must be on guard.

On the other hand, he wanted to study his own condition carefully, collect some data, and analyze what the other party had done to him, perhaps he could infer some intelligence about the enemy from it.

Then there are some dark thoughts. Urahara Kisuke knows the information about "Saint Separation" and Kurosaki Ichigo has enormous potential, especially on the path of becoming a Quincy.

Even though Ichigo Kurosaki has always been in control of his power and has not been overly pursuing his own source with the help of this group of people, and even though Ichigo does not understand "Divinity" and it is impossible for him to use "Divinity" on others with his personality, Urahara Kisuke still does not want to leave a hidden danger.

Therefore, even if he wanted to use Ichigo's power to restore his own power as a Shinigami, he had to use special technology and go through multiple processes to use scientific means to utilize Ichigo Kurosaki as an energy source, rather than letting Ichigo Kurosaki stab himself and transfer the power directly.

"Is...is that so?"

Ichigo Kurosaki said somewhat disappointedly. He felt that he was useless now and couldn't help in anything.

"Don't worry, Mr. Kurosaki. I have already left some things on Peixue and Dondechaka. I will contact them immediately to see what the situation is like in Hueco Mundo. By the way, I will use the equipment at the base to restore contact with Soul Society."

Urahara Kisuke comforted him without saying anything pretentious, because he knew that what Ichigo wanted to know most right now was whether his companions were safe.

Chapter 25: Soul Society Tragedy, Akin in Suffering

In Soul Society, it rains heavily.

In the devastated Soul Society, after all the enemies had retreated, the Shinigami began to carry the wounded and collect the bodies of their colleagues.

"The second group, classes 11 to 16, go to West 56th District, the rest of you follow me!"

"Yes!"

"Leave the bodies for last, transporting the injured is the top priority!"

"Emergency transport, requesting instructions."

"Okay, please send her to Ward 203."

"..."

In the 4th Division's barracks, looking at the busy soldiers outside, Kotetsu Yuune was about to say something, but finally couldn't help but said to Captain Unohana: "We've finally started transporting the wounded... But in the end, we couldn't send in even one wounded during the battle... Captain Unohana, is it really okay for us to stay in the 4th Division's barracks like this? If we shuttle back and forth in Seireitei, maybe we can treat more wounded."

"Yongyin, don't let your emotions get the better of you. Driven by anxiety, you really want to leave here, but you actually want me to explain to you why you can't leave. You shouldn't be so superficial normally."

Unohana Retsu stood quietly by the window, looking at the cold rain falling outside in the dark night.

"Yes! I'm so sorry..."

Kotetsu Yuune finally couldn't hold back his tears.

She knew that Captain Unohana must be even sadder than she was and wanted to save everyone more, but she was still so weak. It was really wrong.

"Don't cry, Yuune. 'No matter what happens, you can't leave the 4th Squad barracks.' This is the last order the captain gave us."

Unohana Retsu still looked out the window without turning back, her facial expression still showing her usual gentleness, but her eyes were filled with gloom.

……

First team.

Many captains, covered in wounds, gathered here, looking at the broken Zanpakutō with great sadness.

"We were unable to find the captain's body. Everything was completely destroyed by the enemy."

Ukitake Jushiro said in a depressed tone.

They couldn't even find the body to pay tribute to Captain Yamamoto, and all they found was a broken Zanpakutō.

Without even a body, it is a luxury in the current Soul Society to hold a proper funeral for Captain-General Yamamoto like Vice-Captain Suzube did before.

Boom-!

A messenger half-knelt on the floor and said, "Report... Captain of the 6th Division, Byakuya Kuchiki, Captain of the 9th Division, Kensei Muguruma, and Captain of the 11th Division, Kenpachi Zaraki, have all survived, but may no longer be able to perform their duties as captains... or even wake up..."

"Get out!"

Soi Feng suddenly turned around and roared.

"Uh……"

The poor messenger was so bullied that he didn't know what to do.

"We don't want to hear this kind of report now, don't you understand? The captain is dead, what else do you want to tell us?"

Soi-Fong couldn't suppress the grief and anger in her heart and vented her emotions wantonly.

Although her behavior was understandable, after all, everyone was very sad about the death of the captain-in-chief, but as the commander-in-chief of the covert mobile force, she was unable to calm down and control her emotions. Instead, she acted like a stubborn shrew, taking her anger out on an innocent soldier who was just reporting on the situation. This was indeed a bit ugly in the eyes of the other captains.

"Stop it, Soi-Fong! Do you think you're the only one who wants to roar?"

Komamura Satsuki shouted angrily. In terms of sadness, he was no less than anyone else present.

"Okay, okay, okay, don't quarrel."

Kyoraku Shunsui, dressed as a one-eyed dragon, walked in, clapping his hands.

He had just been alone in the heavy rain, standing in silence for a long time in front of the huge pit. He had already expressed his condolences to Mr. Shan in his heart. Now that he had completely calmed down, he walked into the team's barracks.

"If we keep arguing, we'll all be hit by Master Shan. I feel so ashamed that I'm shaking for crying out loud."

Kyoraku Shunsui spread out his hands. This was no longer a hint, but a clear statement about Soi-Fong.

"Kyōraku, you..."

SoiFong glared at Kyoraku Shunsui angrily.

"The duty of the Gotei 13 is not to mourn the dead, nor to cry over the destroyed Soul Society, but to protect Soul Society."
