Ichigo leaves and takes up residence in Soul Society!

boom!

Longxian turned and fired an arrow, which, to Yulong's horror, flew over his head and precisely shattered the light arrow on the water tank, causing Ishida Yulong's cloak to fall from mid-air without any support.

"Damn it...! Let go! What do you think you're doing, Longxian!"

"It's also unwise of you to call your father by his first name. I'll teach you a lesson later. As for now... it's better to stay away."

With one hand in his pocket and the other grabbing his son by the collar, Long Xian dragged him towards the rooftop entrance, ignoring his resistance.

"Hey, wait a minute! I haven't dealt with all the voids yet!"

"You are not needed."

"what?"

Yulong was slightly taken aback, and even forgot to struggle.

"The name 'Cinderella' comes not only from the special condition that she takes shape at night, but also from the 'stardust' she emits when excited; touching this dust will envelop her in light."

Longxian spoke as he walked.

"dust……?"

"Although I don't quite understand, as a Japanese person, if you don't want to get hay fever, you should stay away from dust, regardless of whether it's pollen or not."

Before stepping through the door, Longxian stopped and turned to look at Bailong.

I happened to witness a rather strange sight.

With a high-pitched cry, the white dragon spread its wings and flapped them, scattering bursts of shimmering light particles like snowflakes, which, compared to its body, undoubtedly resembled dust.

Yulong saw it too.

I was completely captivated by the dreamlike scenery under the starry night, unable to look away.

However, the next moment, a series of explosions occurred between the skyscrapers and even across the entire sky, as if hundreds or thousands of fireworks and cannons were being set off simultaneously, illuminating the night with dazzling brilliance and a powerful visual impact, the flames engulfing everything in sight.

"?!"

Yu Long stared in disbelief, his mind going completely blank.

Long Xian, on the other hand, adjusted his glasses like a scientist, as if he understood something.

"I see. So this is what they mean by...being enveloped in light? Stardust, the size of a meteorite? My British colleagues are quite artistic. If you choose to study in the UK for university, you might as well try exchanging ideas with them. It could also help improve your talentless and rigid mind."

"..."

After saying that, he dragged the dazed Yulong into the stairwell.

Keep the heatwave out of the door.

On the TV tower, the Fourth Prince, completely unaware of the argument between father and son, quietly experienced the current state of affairs.

Ichigo is growing, and he has never stood still.

Even when spiritual pressure was temporarily lagging behind, they opened up a new path and explored the power of "Fairy Tale Dragon - Cinderella Blood" granted by the [Machine Soul].

Since hybrid races are a powerful version of the game, we should naturally try to develop more effective strategies.

Just like Ichigo's Shinigami powers are mixed with Hollow powers.

The power of the Shinigami, Shinomiya-no-Mikoto, is also mixed with the power of the dragon.

Therefore, in addition to the more visible dragon magic "Invisible Scale," one can also achieve a more advanced awakening with the help of a Zanpakuto.

If the symbol "Eight Manifestations - Chendayami" corresponds to a knife, then "The God Must Take Hold of Me - Chendayami" corresponds to a sheath.

The knife and the scabbard each correspond to a different initial form.

It shares a similar concept with Ichigo's dual-sword theory in the original timeline.

However, the initial interpretation of the Four Palaces Master is not strictly speaking a double initial interpretation, but rather a two-stage initial interpretation.

Because you must first "draw your sword" before you can "release" the sheath.

When the power of the blade, the power within it, is completely exhausted, it is as if in a state of annihilation.

The power of the sheath allows external forces to be reborn.

In a sense, this also corresponds to the characteristic of "Cinderella" being reborn.

as a result--

It is not a self-transformation into a dragon that harbors the blood of a fairy tale dragon.

Instead, through Shikai, Cinderella is materialized by using a part of the Zanpakuto's "sheath".

"—Clean this area up in one go!"

The Four Palaces Lord waved his hand, displaying the demeanor of a dragon knight.

Bai Long turned his head and glanced at him, his eyes filled with a mixture of human joy and malice, as if to say, "Just you wait and see."

...that's right.

Whether it's a knife or a sheath.

They are all Zanpakuto.

Since it's a Zanpakuto... then this "Cinderella's" real name is naturally "Chenda Yami," and she is also the embodiment of the mushroom girl in her inner world who has a particularly irritable temper.

cracking!

More "stardust" was scattered into the sky.

Like a shooting star, it flew towards the location of the ethereal spiritual pressure.

Just like I told Shinomiya-sama back then... to wipe out all the unpleasant things outside, leaving none behind!

Chapter Thirty-Four: With so many special abilities, who is truly the weak one?

Matsukura Hospital is an abandoned building and a well-known haunted location in Karakura Town.

Thanks to this, very few unrelated people are around during this time.

Orihime Inoue can fight with confidence and boldness.

"Lone Sky Slashes Shield!"

According to Rukia, as a substitute Shinigami, she did not have strong spiritual power and could not even see spirits at first. However, after becoming a Shinigami, she immediately knew the name of the sword and obtained the power of "Shikai".

The blade's trajectory as it sliced ​​through the void glowed, its color mirroring Orihime's hair.

Accompanied by the power of words, the trajectory moved forward in a straight line, like a slash.

No matter how you defend, it's all in vain.

Because this is an attack that isolates all matter it touches from the spatial plane.

The Hollow that tried to resist was a formidable foe even for ordinary Shinigami, but it was utterly powerless against Orihime.

It was annihilated as easily as cutting paper.

"Watch out behind you!"

The formidable ability to seemingly kill an opponent with a mere swing of a sword cannot compensate for a weak combat awareness.

Orihime did not notice that a Hollow resembling the head of a Gorgon was lurking in front of the window, firing bullet-like projectiles from its head.

In a moment of desperation, Rukia leaped to block the bullet.

The impact of the projectile weapon sent her flying and crashing into the wall.

"Miss Kuchiki!"

"do not come!"

Orihime's expression changed, and she was about to rush over to check on her, but was stopped by the person in question.

Rukia's condition was very strange at the moment. Her body was covered in dust and had superficial injuries, but more importantly, the blood vessels in her neck, hands and feet were bulging. One could imagine that the main body of her torso under her clothes was probably in the same condition.

"Hehehe... It's a pity that I didn't hit the main target, but it doesn't matter, because it's more fun this way."

The unknown, cunning Void was too large to fit into the hospital corridor. It clung to the outer wall like an octopus, licking Orihime and Rukia with malevolent eyes.

"Hmm~ That's great. I love tormenting these stubborn and beautiful girls the most."

"I've already figured it out. The one whose body is being controlled by my seed will urge their companion to harden their heart and kill themselves while the other is heartbroken and unable to do it, resulting in them being covered in wounds and ultimately being tortured to death amidst the other's despair."

"What do you think of this drama of mutual slaughter?"

The feigned female let out a smug laugh.

But the next second.

Under the shocked gaze of the ethereal figure, Orihime swung her Zanpakuto without hesitation, and the orange-yellow slash reappeared.

It was well aware of the power of this, which is why it chose to launch a sneak attack.

But I never expected that the girl I considered my greatest enemy would be so ruthless, turning on her companions just because of a few words I said!

The next moment, an orange-yellow slash landed on Rukia.

It did not split in two as Xu had imagined.

Instead, it transforms into a light membrane that envelops the entire body.

"—Double Heaven Return Shield!"

Orihime's Word of Power arrived late.

The skill effect has been further enhanced.

Rukia's injuries, including her damaged clothes and the dust she was covered in, were restored to their original state as if time had reversed.

"what?!"

He was so shocked that he almost fell off the outer wall.

A slash can change like this?

Furthermore, this recovery speed is just too fast!

"So it's the ability to control other people's bodies using seeds. Luckily, I stepped in to shield Inoue, otherwise it would have been quite troublesome. After all, there's a saying that a doctor can't heal himself. Thank you, you've made me fully aware of a completely new tactic, even though it hurts a bit."

This time it was Rukia's turn to be smug.

"How dare you hurt Miss Kuchiki! I will never forgive you!"

"Go to hell!"

Seeing that Orihime seemed about to launch an attack, Utsuro was so frightened that he fired all his seeds at Orihime in one go.

But this time Orihime was on guard and directly raised her Zanpakuto.

A triangular orange-yellow barrier forms directly opposite the tip of the blade.

"A shield formed in three days... I refuse!"

All the bullets were intercepted.

Xu was both terrified and furious.

There are so many strange tricks!

It has attack, healing, and defense capabilities.

"Damn it! You beautiful women deserve to die!"

The female let out a furious roar of envy, jealousy, and hatred, but despite her words, she didn't want to continue fighting.

"Don't run!"

Rukia immediately sensed the other party's intention and raised her hand to try to use a binding spell to intercept them.

Just then, she suddenly noticed something strange flying through the air and froze on the spot.

"Huh? What is this...?"

About the size of a thumb, resembling a crystalline insect or bird, or even a paper airplane, with distinct flight characteristics, it's quite cute.

"So cute~"

Its unique and exquisite appearance also piqued Orihime's curiosity.

The creature noticed the strange object and paused for a moment, then became suspicious.

Then——
