Ichigo leaves and takes up residence in Soul Society!

"Shinomiya, you seem harmless on the surface, but your sword ability is so extreme. And this is only your Shikai. I can't imagine what your Bankai will be like. Are you going to drag the world down with you in a mortal explosion?"

Hachihara clicked his tongue in amazement, his eyes filled with wariness as he looked at the Fourth Palace Master, as if he would immediately take out a quilt and seal him away if he said yes.

"You're such a jinx."

The four palaces cast a death stare upon the emperor.

"If you're right, I'll put you in a firework and set it off!"

"Haha... Don't worry, don't worry, it definitely won't happen. There's no such thing as a Bankai that can drag the world down with it."

Ba Ba Yuan chuckled twice, then patted his chest as if to convince himself, and assured them.

"Let's put aside the Bankai for now. The Hollows in this area have been basically dealt with. Next, we'll split up and advance towards Kurosaki's location until we reunite."

"Seven Flashes" and "Only Flashes" are a perfect match for the ability of Shikai.

Having tasted the benefits, Shinomiya-sama was curious about what advantages this special "Soul Burial Analysis" would bring him.

Although there were many concerns she wanted to express, Hachiyahara and Rindou chose to believe in him as always.

After the two set off separately.

Having regained some strength and spiritual pressure, the Four Palace Masters immediately began to act.

He headed towards the central part of Karakura Town.

There were many intense clashes of spiritual pressure there, and the battle was raging fiercely.

……

Uryu Ishida is a Quincy.

He was genuinely proud of this identity.

He is also determined to shoulder the glory of all Quincy as the "last Quincy".

At the same time, they neither claim to be partners of justice, nor do they laugh arrogantly at the drop of a hat.

As a soldier, he had almost no flaws except for being slightly weak.

However, weakness is its biggest flaw.

"Faster! Faster! Faster!!"

Uryu Ishida gritted his teeth, ignoring his broken and bleeding fingers as he forced back the bowstring to shoot down the Hollows in the sky. Each Hollow had the potential to take someone's life, and all of this was caused by his own hand.

It's pointless to dwell on the bait now; the important thing is to resolve the immediate problem, salvage the out-of-control situation, and atone for the sins we've committed.

Although the arrows were sharp and never missed, it was still far from enough.

"If only I had half the power of that spiritual pressure..."

The spiritual pressure I felt earlier was unprecedented, far beyond my imagination.

Without a doubt, that was also Death.

A group of death gods appeared.

They threw themselves into the battlefield without hesitation, as if boasting of their own strength.

To deliver a head-on blow to the illusory being that has descended into the mortal world.

Even he had to admit that he did a great job.

But the more this happens, the more uncomfortable I feel.

"How can I let Death clean up this mess for me!"

Despite fighting with this mindset until now, the number of Hollows has not decreased.

On the other hand, the Soul Reapers' spiritual pressure was negligible.

This overwhelming power made Ishida Uryu tremble with fear, and he couldn't help but hate his own powerlessness.

If given a choice, he would not hesitate to do it, even if it meant losing half of the Quincy's power.

"He clearly sensed the Shinigami's spiritual pressure but chose not to stop. This stubborn, disobedient personality is truly inherited from his father."

Suddenly, a figure appeared above Ishida Uryu's head.

It was none other than the Four Palaces Venerable.

"It's you……!"

Uryu Ishida's pupils contracted. He didn't recognize the other person's appearance, but he recognized the spiritual pressure.

The Four Palace Masters seemed oblivious to the anomaly, or perhaps they simply didn't care, and continued:

"I'll only say this once: stop now. You've already pushed yourself to the limit. As one of the few Quincy in the world, you should cherish your life. Only in this way can you play a greater role in the future."

"...Perhaps you are right, but right now I just want to make amends for my mistakes, at least to stop them from continuing down the wrong path, and I would give my life for that."

Ishida Uryu remained silent for a moment, then spoke with a firm tone.

"Then you should stop even more."

The Four Palaces Lord did not mock, but spoke frankly.

"It is wise to leave things to the right people."

"Does 'the right people' mean you Grim Reapers? But you seem a bit out of sorts to me. Are you really okay?"

Out of prejudice against death, Ishida Uryu couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

"I also want to ask a question."

"You're in bad shape too, but why don't you use guerrilla tactics and circle around with the Void to wear down their manpower, instead of just staying put and attracting the Void swarm to come closer?"

The Four Palace Master slightly raised his chin and asked in return.

"Silly question."

Ishida Uryu frowned.

The Tsubakidai area, which leads to the Kitase River, is part of the Karakura General Hospital district. His father is the director of the Karakura General Hospital, so he is very familiar with everything here.

But that's secondary.

The hospital is surrounded by many tall buildings, including a television station building.

This is the tallest building in Karakura Town.

Staying on the rooftop not only provides a good view but also attracts the Hollows away from the ground, allowing them to approach from above and reducing the probability of attacks on passersby. It also saves energy, allowing you to focus on shooting down the Hollows.

Wait, could it be that this guy also came for this purpose...?

Ishida Uryu suddenly understood something and stared at Shinomiya Takeru in astonishment.

The latter had no further interest in talking or explaining. He drew the scabbard from his waist, threw it into the air, and then swung the scabbard in two.

Something amazing happened.

As we approached the sky, the moonlight seemed even more intense, pouring down like water.

The scabbard, bathed in moonlight, shattered.

“God will surely take me…Chendayami.”

The Four Palace Master whispered the secret name that Ichigo and the others did not know.

The result was that the broken scabbard reassembled like a human soul reforming into a phantom, and was reborn with moonlight as a catalyst. Its body swelled and grew larger, and it grew a head, claws, and pure white fur.

Ishida Uryu's pupils trembled, and he unconsciously put down the bow in his hand, standing in the shadows and looking up at the divine bird that was born bathed in moonlight, or rather... the alien dragon, the dark dragon!

Chapter Thirty-Three: Sword and Sheath, Star Ash that Annihilates All

Azure beast eyes, snow-white feathers, a golden crown, and exquisite mask.

It was over twenty feet tall, no less than the size of a giant void.

The strange creature, flapping its wings and soaring under the moonlight, was exquisitely beautiful, its entire body shrouded in an unusual and special spiritual pressure, and... a transcendent atmosphere that did not belong to the mortal world.

He took it for granted and regarded the tallest TV tower in Karakura Town as his nest.

boom!

Two jet-black claws were deeply embedded in the concrete, and the strong wind generated by the wings blew Ishida Uryu, the so-called last Quincy, away like insignificant dust.

"Waaaaaah...!"

Looking up at the proud dragon from the perspective of falling from the building, surrounded by a sense of weightlessness and the weakness that comes over the body, it becomes extremely difficult to even launch the "Flying Kick".

Just then, a beam of light shot from a distant building, curving around a corner and striking the cloak on Ishida Uryu's back.

The powerful inertia carried him back to the location of the light arrow like a boomerang.

There was a loud "thump".

Uryu Ishida slammed hard against the water tank.

It could also be described as being pinned to the ground by a beam of light, causing the person to dangle in mid-air like a white teru teru bozu (a Japanese doll shaped like a teru bozu).

The four palaces landed on the dragon's back, glancing at it casually before ignoring it.

Such an attitude clearly suggests that it wasn't him who did it.

Furthermore.

Those were Quincy's beams of light.

There's no need to ask who did it.

Uryu Ishida was indeed very familiar with everything around here, so much so that even when he was being hung on the water tank for the first time, he immediately recognized that he was on the rooftop of Karakura General Hospital.

On the rooftop, there was another person besides him.

She stood on the edge of the railing, her back to him, gazing at the white dragon on the TV tower.

Although it was just a view from behind.

But something far more familiar to Ishida Uryu than this terrain was something he could hardly forget, something ingrained in his very bones.

"Dragon...string...?!"

"Are you asking how someone like me, who has always looked down on Quincy, could have saved you using Quincy abilities?"

Without turning his head, Ishida Ryūgen's voice pierced Uryū's ears, leaving him speechless.

"..."

"What a pointless question. Dislike and possession are not contradictory. If you don't even understand this principle, it's no wonder you're in such a sorry state, having to let Death clean up the mess you created."

"..."

Even more irrefutable words nearly killed Uryu's language skills.

cracking!

The white dragon spread its wings, raised its head to the moon and roared loudly, as if celebrating its new life and announcing its arrival to the world, or perhaps... using its roar to lock onto all the Hollows in the Tsubakidai region.

Ordinary people can't even see it, let alone hear it.

Uryu was also jolted back to his senses by the spiritual pressure wavelength in the voice, and looked at Haku with surprise and uncertainty.

"Such an unusual spiritual pressure... What exactly is this? Is it the release of a Shinigami's Zanpakuto mentioned in Grandpa's diary?"

"idiot."

Longxian insulted him without any politeness.

"Incompetent, unable to even read books, yet they dare to parade around under the banner of 'the last Quincy.' If Quincy from other countries knew about this, it would only bring shame to the Ishida family."

Although he was hurling insults, his expression was quite solemn, revealing an unresolved doubt.

"That's a dragon... an ancient creature similar to a phantom that circulates in Europe, especially in Britain. It fell into darkness after coming into contact with humans. The oldest dark dragon progenitors had seven heads, each named after a fairy tale, hence the name Fairy Tale Dragon."

"Snow White, The Red Dress, The Golden Axe, Bubbles, Hansel and Gretel, The Animals Band... and Cinderella."

"Judging from the fact that she ascended to heaven using moonlight, she must be 'Cinderella'."

"But, Death is actually associated with dragons, especially the legendary unknown enemy of mankind, who are the permanent targets of exorcism groups in their respective regions."

"What a surprise."

"Ah."

Yulong hissed in pain and said sarcastically, "I thought you really knew everything, but it seems you're just good at pretending to be nonchalant."
