Aizen Evolves, Then Evolves Again

She abruptly removed her hand from her mouth, pointed her index finger at Yhwach, and shouted angrily:

"You're lying! Aunt Masaki would never date someone like you! You absolutely can't be Ichigo's father!"

"Hey, Inoue, what are you talking about?" Ichigo roared. "It's obvious no matter how you look at it, I can't possibly be that guy's son, right?"

Yhwach faced the two of them, took a few steps closer, and said, "Masaki Kurosaki is also my child."

Orihime clapped her hands, looking as if she had just realized something. "I see, you're Ichigo's father, which makes you Masaki's grandfather, right? Then you can definitely call Ichigo' child'."

"Orihime, stop letting your mind wander! Why are you spouting such nonsense? That guy existed a thousand years ago, how could he possibly be my grandfather?" Ichigo roared again.

He had no desire to be related to Yhwach in any way.

Yhwach coldly explained, "Don't look at it from your World of the Living perspective. All Quincy in the Three Worlds were born because of my power, so you are all my children."

He extended his right Ichigo Kurosaki, in an inviting gesture.

"Ichigo Kurosaki, your current attire, the weapon in your hand, and the power emanating from you all prove that you are an excellent Quincy."

He is also the most powerful of my sons.

Join me in merging the Three Worlds into chaos, and together create a world without death, fear, or pain.

Upon hearing this, Orihime frowned, as if deep in thought.

Ichigo Kurosaki gripped his moon blade tighter once more. "What the hell are you talking about?"

"Oh," Orihime said again as if suddenly realizing something, "So it refers to the inheritance of power, which is why I call you my son."

That's not wrong either. After all, in his heart, Misao has long been like a father. I agree with that reason.

She crossed her arms and nodded proudly, seemingly pleased with her discovery.

Ichigo Kurosaki, who had already entered battle mode, immediately lost his nerve and turned to say, "Orihime, why don't you stop thinking about it for now?"

"Alright, since you're not going to think about it anymore," Orihime slowly loosened her arms from her chest, "then—"

The instant she released her grip, her fingers pointed at Yhwach.

"Black Coffin! Hiryū Gekizoku Shinten Raihō! Senju Kōten Taihō! Sōren Sōkatsui! Raikōhō!"

"Rikujōkōrō! Hyapporankan! Sajō Sabaku! Kuyō Shibari! Gochūtekkan!"

The Bakudō and Hadō, already etched on their fingers, were unleashed simultaneously.

Boom! A series of explosive sounds rang out.

At this moment, Ichigo Kurosaki stared at Orihime in disbelief.

He didn't even realize when his mouth opened.

This was the Ichigo had ever heard of Orihime launching a surprise attack without warning.

Orihime turned her head and gave Ichigo Kurosaki a bright, sunny smile, as beautiful as a blooming flower.

"Since they're enemies, then any means are acceptable, that's what Master said."

Gulp, Ichigo Kurosaki couldn't help but swallow.

He suddenly realized that he absolutely must not anger Orihime, or the consequences would be unimaginable.

A strange sensation arose, Ichigo immediately shielded Orihime with his body, wielding his moon blade and shouting, "Getsuga Tenshō!"

A crescent moon, red and black, severed a blue arrow.

"What an impolite child! Let me teach you what manners are on behalf of your master." Yhwach's four eyes simultaneously turned to Orihime Inoue.

"Ugh, his eyes look disgusting!" Orihime said with obvious disgust.

"Don't worry, I'm here." Ichigo's body emanated a red and black Reiatsu.

At the same time, a white hue belonging to the Void began to spread from between his brows toward his face, and in a moment it transformed into a Void mask covering his face.

Upon seeing this, Yhwach's lips unconsciously curled up slightly.

This is exactly the power he needs: Ichigo Kurosaki, who possesses the powers of Quincy, Soul Reaper, a Hollow, and Fullbring.

Only he possesses the potential to break the Soul King's seal.

However, the power within him has not yet been fully developed and needs further stimulation.

With that thought in mind, Yhwach once again turned his gaze toward Orihime Inoue.

If Ichigo Kurosaki kills her, his power will likely unleash its full potential.

"You bastard, where are you looking?" Ichigo sensed the murderous intent in Yhwach's eyes towards Orihime, and his blood boiled with rage.

He reached his left hand to the center of the moon blade, and with a sudden snap of his hands, he broke the jet-black Moon Blade Bow in two, transforming it into twin blades.

He stomped down on the floor and rushed over, arriving in front of Yhwach, wildly waving his hands around.

With each slash, a black crescent moon shot out from the blade.

These crescent moons struck Yhwach was glowing with a Blut Vene, producing a cracking sound.

As Ichigo Kurosaki swung his sword faster and faster, the cracking sounds grew more and more rapid, even gradually overlapping.

Ichigo Kurosaki, who had swung his sword countless times and unleashed countless Crescent Moon attacks, lightly stepped back, creating distance, and looked closely, only to see Yhwach completely unharmed.

"Is that all? That's not enough! This level of power is insufficient to protect Orihime Inoue behind you." Yhwach raised his right hand, and a massive Reishi light sword appeared in his hand.

"Be distressed by your own powerlessness, my child Ichigo Kurosaki."

At this moment, Orihime Inoue hid her hands behind her back, and a faint yellow light appeared between her palms.

"Excellent judgment, worthy of being my apprentice."

A voice suddenly rang out, and a blood-red hand grasped Yhwach's hand that was holding the Reishi light sword aloft.

With a sudden clench of his blood-red hand, the Reishi light sword shattered instantly.

Tokoyo Misao has arrived!

He looked at Orihime and smiled, praising, "Your judgment was correct, Orihime."

If you use Rejection of Phenomena on him and revert his physical condition back ten or eight years, he will become a useless person.

"What?" Yhwach's pupils trembled.

"I see, that's indeed one of the solutions."

Aizen arrived.

Chapter 195 Aizen's Evolution, and Another Evolution

After Aizen arrived, he stood between Orihime Inoue and Tokoyo Misao, then took a few steps back to stand still, and now the scene presented a perfect triangle.

With his hands in his pockets and a smile, he said, "However, Brother Misao, with Orihime's current strength, I'm afraid she won't be able to use the Fourfold Rejection on Yhwach."

Tokoyo Misao's bloodied hand still gripped Yhwach's hand.

The latter struggled frantically, only to find that there was no way to break free.

He was somewhat unable to understand why he not only failed to see Tokoyo Misao's arrival, but also couldn't even break free from the other's restraints.

Tokoyo Misao wasn't one for idle chatter, but he didn't attack Yhwach, instead scoffing and saying, "He's just Yhwach awakened; Orihime's current power is sufficient."

"Master, I'll go first then."

As Orihime spoke, her eyes were fixed on Aizen, and her hands emitted an orange-yellow light.

She had already prepared to use the Sōten Kisshun, but she didn't expect her master to arrive so quickly.

But now, Aizen is also one of the villains, and she is wary of him, always feeling that his smile is unfriendly.

At this moment, Ichigo Kurosaki felt a sense of relief upon seeing Tokoyo Misao's arrival.

He put his twin swords back together, transforming them into a crescent blade in his hand.

As long as the problem can be solved, that's good.

But the two suddenly realized that Tokoyo Misao had no further instructions, and they both turned to look at him with some confusion.

But then they saw that the other person was looking down, examining the pieces of Ichibē Hyōsube on the ground.

"Master," Orihime couldn't help but ask.

At this Tokoyo Misao was pondering. The Riden beneath his feet had long been bound to Ichibē, and there were still survivors in the Squad Zero.

There's no need to wait years; Ichibē can be resurrected from the Riden. All the Squad Zero needs to do is call his name, and he'll come back to life.

But one of the purposes of coming to the Soul King Palace this time was to completely eliminate the monk.

As for Yhwach in his hands, he's nothing but a clown.

He suddenly released his bloodied hand, took a few steps to the side, stood next to the monk's broken pieces, and looked down.

This startled Yhwach had been feeling a bit uneasy, for a moment before he smiled and said:

"Tokoyo, you and I are natural allies. We were on the same side even in the chaos."

He seemed to believe that Tokoyo Misao did not continue to act because of Tokoyo's reputation.

Upon hearing this, Tokoyo Misao noncommittal, but Aizen, standing to the side, curled the corners of his lips into a smile.

Ichigo Kurosaki frowned and asked in a low voice, "What is Boss Misao doing?"

Orihime gently shook her head. "Master must have his reasons."

The scene suddenly fell silent. For a moment, this was the only place in the entire Riden where no battle was taking place.

A moment later, Yhwach spoke, "Tokoyo, it won't be long before I can return the world to chaos." With that, he began to walk, intending to head towards the Soul King Palace.

Aizen showed no intention of stopping him and remained standing in place.

Ichigo Kurosaki, however, was getting anxious.

He charged forward again, grabbed the moon blade with both hands, and unleashed a massive crescent-shaped Getsuga Tenshō.

But Yhwach easily caught the blow with his outstretched hand.

Ichigo Kurosaki immediately retreated.

Yhwach turned around and said, "My son, leave this to them. If you want to stop me, then follow me." He raised his right leg again, ready to take a step.

Boom!

A wave of heat swept over everyone, freezing them in place.

Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai was present.

He stood opposite Aizen, and the situation on the scene became a four-way standoff.

He first glanced at Aizen standing opposite him; this traitor of Soul Society had to be killed.

But Yhwach nearby, is also an entity that cannot be overlooked.

But when his gaze fell upon Tokoyo Misao, who was still looking down at the pieced-together corpse, his brow twitched slightly. He simply held the Zanka no Tachi in his hand and did not make a move.

"Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai, you cannot stop me." Yhwach's words were full of confidence.

They seemed to have forgotten the embarrassing moment when they were grabbed by Tokoyo Misao's bloody hand and couldn't think of a solution.

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto completely ignored him, instead continuing to scrutinize Aizen directly in front of him.

His intuition, honed by a thousand years of battle experience, was warning him that he must prioritize killing Aizen ahead.

As for Yhwach next to him, although he seemed much stronger than he was a thousand years ago, he posed no fatal danger.

Just then, an orange-yellow light enveloped the entire Riden. Yamamoto recognized this Reiatsu immediately; it was from one of his disciples, Shunsui Kyōraku.

He saw that Tokoyo Misao, who had been motionless just moments before, had now walked to the Riden and was looking in the direction of Shunsui Kyōraku.

Only after the orange-yellow light dissipated did he walk back to Ichibē Hyōsube parts, suddenly laugh, and say, "Ichibē Hyōsube."

As he called out the name, all eyes turned to him, including Yhwach's.

In an instant, the mass of corpse on the ground vanished, turning black, and then solidified into a human shape a moment later—it was none other than the living Ichibē Hyōsube.

He was sitting cross-legged on the ground, scratching his head, and immediately looked at Yhwach:

Haven't I told you many times not to call me by my first name?

Yhwach then realized, "So that's how it is. Calling your name will resurrect you? It seems I'll have to completely destroy this place."

Ichibē stood up and said with a smile, "Then you can't do it. Now that you've destroyed the Riden, the Soul King Palace will also be destroyed, and you won't achieve your goal."
