"Execution, begin!"
After the Captain-Commander finished showing off and went on and on, he finally arrived at this point, injecting Spiritual Power to activate the Sōkyoku Execution, and the enormous fiery phoenix Destruction King appeared.
As Jun felt the power of the Destruction King below, he suddenly realized that this thing was truly remarkable, incredibly powerful. If it were a Zanpakuto, its energy intensity alone would rank it among the top five strongest of Jun's Zanpakuto.
A dark shadow suddenly appeared in the sky and fell onto the horizontal bar of the Execution Crossbar in the next instant. Everyone looked up at the figure.
"Yo~ Rukia, I've come to save you!"
Ichigo! You!
Ichigo smiled. "I'm much better now. Sorry to have worried you."
Rukia, however, ignored this and cried out in terror, "You idiot! Run! That's the power of a million Zanpakuto!"
The Fire Phoenix was already charging up and ready, and Ichigo was amazed, "It looks really powerful, but this thing should be quite useful."
Those below couldn't see clearly, but Rukia saw it perfectly: Ichigo untied a sword strapped to his back and threw it at the Destruction King.
Ukitake burst forth from the ground, and the shield that had destroyed the Sōkyoku had just begun to glow when suddenly the fire phoenix in the sky vanished. Ichigo Shunpo to Zanpakuto.
"Wow~! It really can do that?" Ichigo was quite surprised, and the people below were even more shocked.
"What did that Ryoka do?" Mayuri Kurotsuchi laughed maniacally. "Zanpakuto? Heh heh~ How interesting."
Jun noticed Mayuri Kurotsuchi looking at him and smiled slightly, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing at all~ Hehe~", Mayuri Kurotsuchi looked away and turned back to Ichigo, just laughing.
Jun didn't care. Mayuri Kurotsuchi was a clever psychopath; perhaps he knew something about himself, but it didn't matter.
Ichigo reattached his Zanpakuto to his back and, just like in the original story, broke the Sōkyoku's Execution Crossbar with a single strike. He then retrieved Rukia. At that moment, Renji Abarai led a group of people up Sōkyoku Hill. Ichigo threw Rukia to Renji.
"I don't have time to take care of her, so please don't give up on her!"
"Oh!! Leave it to me!"
Renji, as in the original story, wanted to save Rukia, but this time he wasn't beaten by Byakuya; he was beaten by the Big Dog. Kashiwamura was different from Byakuya; Kashiwamura's brute force was superior to Renji's, and he actually chopped the Baboon King Zabimaru to pieces. Renji himself wasn't seriously injured.
So Renji, but his sword can no longer Shikai in its Shikai form for a certain period of time. The Sword Soul is in the process of self-repair. Renji's sword is neither Shikai nor completely unreleased, which means that even when it was shattered, it was only half of its original form. It can self-repair, which is a case of fortune and misfortune being intertwined.
"Follow me!!" Ichigo yelled as he charged down from the Execution Crossbar. Unlike in the original work, Soi Fon didn't even try to stop Ichigo. Old Man Yamamoto took a step, but his two disciples blocked his way. Isane Kotetsu also wanted to go up, but was stopped by Unohana.
In the end, several Vice-Captains, including Chōjirō Sasakibe, Marechiyo Ōmaeda, and Makoto Kibune, went to stop Ichigo, only to be sent flying by Ichigo's few punches and kicks. It was as humiliating as ever, thanks in no small part to the explosive advantage brought by the Shiba Clan's high-level Spiritual Flow.
However, the Vice-Captains in this timeline are not easy to deal with either. They all Shikai their Shikai. Ichigo suddenly noticed someone standing in front of him, and he was about to attack...
"Quickly! I'll stop them, let the Water Heaven Reversal! Nejibana!"
"Kaien Shiba! What on earth are you doing?"
"I'm truly sorry, Vice-Captain Sasakibe, and me too, for showing our true colors! Our Eight Edges!"
"Shiba Miyako! You two!!" Chōjirō Sasakibe was furious.
Ichigo, upon hearing the surname Shiba and seeing the family crests on Kaien and Miyako, Ichigo laughed and said, "Thank you Older Cousin and Older Cousin's Wife, I'm off!"
Suddenly, Kaien's spear Shikai its Trident, transforming into a trident. A soft clanging sound echoed in the air as Byakuya appeared before Ichigo, completely blocking his Ichigo route.
Byakuya had a small cut on his finger from his earlier fight with Kaien. The two exchanged a glance, then Kaien looked away; there were still four people in front of her.
Ichigo and Byakuya exchanged glances. Ichigo was quite annoyed. "All I need to do is beat you, right? Go easy on me, okay?"
"Why?"
"Ah?"
"Why is everyone helping you? What's wrong with my decision? Is following the rules a mistake?" Byakuya asked.
"Uh, Rukia doesn't deserve to die," Ichigo said, annoyed. "Why follow a wrong rule? If you know it's wrong, why would you follow it? Isn't that stupid?"
"Rules are rules; there's no right or wrong."
"Ugh!" Ichigo scratched the back of his head in frustration. "I can't argue with you about all these grand principles. I just know I have to do what I believe is right! It's that simple!"
Byakuya drew his Zanpakuto. "Since that's the case, I'll do what I believe is right. I won't hold back. If you die like this, it just means your resolve isn't all that great."
"Is that so?" Ichigo's agitation vanished. After all, Ichigo was a stubborn, headstrong fool. He shouldered Zangetsu and laughed loudly, "Then let's fight! I'll show you just how strong my resolve is!"
Because of the supportive presence of Kaien and Miyako during this time, Ukitake naturally didn't bring a bunch of burdens to help as he did in the original work, and Soi Fon didn't intervene, nor were there any injuries.
But Unohana still pulled Isane away from Sōkyoku Hill, saying, "Let's go rescue people. There won't be any problems here for the time being. The fighting over there needs us more."
Isane had no objections after hearing what Unohana said. Teams 7, 9, and 11 were fighting tooth and nail, so they definitely needed them even more.
Then, just like in the original story, Kyōraku pulled Ukitake down from Sōkyoku Hill, Yamamoto chased after them, and Kiyo followed, jumping down as well. They met up with their two younger sisters halfway down.
So, the four captains remaining on the hill— Soi Fon, Gin Ichimaru, Jun, Mayuri Kurotsuchi —saw that Ichigo and Byakuya were about to fight. Suddenly, Jun appeared behind Ichigo, cut the ropes, and took his new sword.
"This thing is keeping you guys from fighting, so I'll take it. Bye~" With that, Chun disappeared, and unnoticed, Kōga Kuchiki and the Aozumi couple also vanished.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi looked in the direction Jun had disappeared, then pulled Nemu Kurotsuchi up and jumped down in another direction. "Let's go back."
"Hi~ Mayuri Kurotsuchi- sama"
In mid-air, Mayuri Kurotsuchi suddenly said, "Nemu ~, go with Jun Shimizu. Even if you die, make sure he carries your body with him."
Nemu Kurotsuchi's body trembled slightly, then she regained her composure. "Hi~ Mayuri Kurotsuchi- sama~"
Gin Ichimaru and Soi Fon, who were left, exchanged a glance. Gin gave a signature smile. "If you don't have anything planned, I'll be going now."
"Can I find Aizen by following you?"
"Sure, but if you're not afraid of dying, I think you'd better stay here and wait; at least there's a good chance you won't die."
Gin Ichimaru had already thrown out the cloth strip, Thousand Reversed White Snake was in action. He waited a few seconds for Soi Fon. "Since you're not coming in, then see you later."
The next moment, Gin Ichimaru disappeared. Soi Fon sighed and leaped off the cliff. Below her were Yoruichi and the Shopkeeper.
"It's Space Kidō, the landing point is the Central 46." It turns out that Gin Ichimaru Soi Fon used her Kakushitsuijaku lock onto Gin Ichimaru's location the moment he left.
"So it really is Central 46? Or did he just go back? Anyway, let's go."
It's not far, actually. Central 46 is inside the mountain; you need to go around a bend to get in.
The three of them made their way quickly towards Central 46. Meanwhile, Tōshirō had been there from the very beginning, for this was where it all started, and it should also be where it ended.
Because Tōshirō arrived quickly, he saw Aizen and Momo Hinamori. Aizen didn't kill Momo Hinamori; instead, he affectionately embraced the girl.
"You bastard!! Let go of me!!" Tōshirō couldn't take this anymore, and charged forward, drawing his sword to stab.
Aizen looked in the direction the Little Lion was charging from, suddenly smiled, and then was stabbed through the abdomen by the Little Lion. The Little Lion even dodged Momo Hinamori, but at the very moment the stab went in, Tōshirō felt something was wrong.
Suddenly, the Smoke Waves shattered before his eyes. Tōshirō released his grip on the sword. Momo Hinamori, her chest completely pierced, clutched her chest, filled with confusion and resentment, and knelt on the ground.
Tōshirō was completely dumbfounded when a knife pierced through his back, leaving him still in shock. The Little Lion Tōshirō down with difficulty at the tip of the knife protruding from his chest, and then watched it disappear.
"Hehe~, true love prevails in the end, congratulations to you both," Aizen his sword, Gin Ichimaru appeared at the same time.
"Wow, you're so fast!"
"It's alright, we're fine, huh?"
The two looked towards the exit, where three figures blocked the way: Yoruichi, Soi Fon, and the Shopkeeper.
"Aizen- kun~ It's been a long time."
"Oh my~ Aren't these former Captain Urahara and former Captain Shihoin? And the current Captain Soi Fon, haha, I'm honored to send three captains to deal with me~ hehe," Aizen said calmly as he walked forward.
"Die! You liar!" Soi Fon couldn't hold back any longer. She immediately activated Shunkō and rushed to Aizen's side. During this time, Yoruichi had already taught Soi Fon the technique of Shunkō.
However, what Soi Fon couldn't accept was that despite Shunkō's immense power, her hand was being held tightly by Aizen, who was curiously admiring Aizen 'Shunkō power.
"An interesting power. Is this a unique power method of Shihoin and the Punishment Force? It's a pity the person using it is too weak."
Aizen drew his sword to slash at Soi Fon, but a foot stepped on the hilt, preventing him from drawing it. Yoruichi's bandages on her Yoruichi had bound the sword; this was one of Shihoin's Divine Tool, capable of preventing the Zanpakuto from being released. At the same time Yoruichi punched Aizen in the face, blasting Soi Fon away in the process, sending Aizen backward.
In that instant, the Shopkeeper appeared behind Aizen, his hands covered in a special Spiritual Power seal that he placed on Aizen's back. But just as the seal was placed, and the Spiritual Power erupted, the Shopkeeper shouted...
"This is fake!!"
The Shopkeeper's chest suddenly exploded, his entire chest ripped open. Yoruichi tried to move, but her abdomen was completely sliced open. Yoruichi had no idea when she was injured. Meanwhile, Soi Fon, clinging to a pillar, slowly slid to the ground, her chest also pierced.
"That's Kongbu power," Gin Ichimaru rubbed his eyes, three Captain-level were instantly killed.
Aizen sheathed his sword. "Let's go. It's a pity we didn't have time to finish him off. That Urahara was a fake too. Such exquisite technique. The head of the Research and Development Institute truly lives up to his name."
Gin Ichimaru then turned around and saw that the original Kisuke Urahara had been transformed into a translucent anatomical model; it was no longer the Urahara.
Gin Ichimaru laughed and shrugged. "This is truly a battle of gods!"
