"Here I am!" Ichigo, wielding his massive sword.
Jun smiled slightly, and a beam of Spiritual Power passed by Ichigo, Explosion against the wall of the Training Ground. The massive Explosion created a gust of wind that made Ichigo's clothes flutter loudly.
"I told you, I'm serious. Take off your Hollowfication Mask, or the next blow will send you to meet Enma."
"Release! Tensa Zangetsu!" Ichigo understood the situation. What was the point of further words? Release and unleash his full power with his Hollowfication Mask!
Ichigo's figure instantly appeared everywhere as he searched for Jun's weakness. Jun feigned an opening, but Ichigo didn't see it. Jun feigned another opening, but Ichigo still didn't see it.
So Jun shifted his feet slightly, and in that instant, Ichigo rushed forward. Jun was utterly speechless; apparently, in Ichigo, even a slight shift in his feet was an opening. That was truly amazing.
Of course, we can't blame Ichigo. He's self-taught and has only been fighting for four months, which already shows considerable comprehension. It's true that most people can't coordinate everything when moving, and facing Ichigo's kind of impact would be even more difficult. But Ichigo is no ordinary person.
Ichigo noticed this as soon as he reached Jun; he seemed to have been slowed down. He saw that Jun's weapon had changed from a scythe to prayer beads, and that Jun was smiling at him, which infuriated him.
Suddenly, Ichigo's Reiatsu intensified again, and before Junichi could adjust, Ichigo escaped. This rosary is called the Vimalakirti Beads, a new interpretation by Jun, taken from the Vimalakirti Sutra's phrase, "The music in the room is long, the path in the heavenly palace is slow and the road is long." Its ability is to slow down everything about the opponent within its range.
"Wow! You cheated! How could you switch weapons?!"
"Huh? This is cheating? I told you I was serious, these are all my weapons, why can't I switch them?"
Ichigo Silence. Since this thing could slow him down, then he would unleash "Getsuga Tenshō!!"
The enormous black crescent moon entered the stagnation zone. Chun calmly watched it fly towards her, snapped her fingers (her left hand was already adorned with glitter), and with that snap, the Getsuga Tenshō's Spiritual Power shattered. Then, Siphon effect activated, absorbing the massive amount of Spiritual Power.
This move left Ichigo Kurosaki and the three onlookers completely dumbfounded. What was that? That was Getsuga Tenshō! That was Ichigo Kurosaki's only signature move, a move that had caused several captains of Soul Society immense suffering! It was just gone like that?
These sequins are called the Seven Laws, using seven techniques to represent seven laws. The ability to snap your fingers disrupts the laws governing the structure of Reishi. Reiatsu is a strong aggregation of Reishi, naturally containing a solid Reishi structure. Once these laws are disrupted, Reiatsu becomes useless.
Holding the prayer beads, Jun walked towards Ichigo Kurosaki. Ichigo Kurosaki had never felt so troubled before. How was he supposed to fight? You're telling him how to fight? Ichigo felt a sense of despair. His speed was restricted, his Getsuga Tenshō was gone, what did he have left?
"Getsuga Tenshō! Getsuga Tenshō! Sky Strike! Charge!!"
Ichigo series of Getsuga Tenshō a type of magical attack), while Jun tossed up the Vimalakirti Bead Prayer Beads. The Vimalakirti Bead Prayer Beads' domain, centered on the beads, completely blocked the Getsuga Tenshō. Then, with a snap of his fingers, Ichigo suddenly appeared about thirty meters behind Jun, looking completely bewildered.
The Seven Laws are a rule-based ability, and even Seven Laws must abide by them. Therefore, Pure will absolutely not gather Reiatsu when snapping his fingers, because it's useless. However, Ichigo didn't know this, so when the Reiatsu he used for Shunpo disappeared, he was thrown out, looking completely bewildered.
Siphon activated again, Getsuga Tenshō! They were all completely absorbed.
"Hmm~ It's ready," Jun felt the Spiritual Power he was absorbing. The Super Condensation began to vibrate, and the Spiritual Power was being compressed wildly in the device on his back. The Super Roar Energy Ring was also connecting to the Super Condensation. Ichigo swallowed hard.
Chun's smile appeared somewhat holy in the light emitted by the Super Condensation, but the words she spoke were quite malicious.
"Try blocking this attack. If you can't, you're dead. I believe in you."
"Believe you my foot! I don't even believe myself! This thing of yours is way better than Gran Rey Cero, okay?! You really want to kill me?!"
"Huh?" Chun scoffed, "This will definitely give you the will to survive a near-death experience."
"That wasn't near death! That was an instant kill! You bastard!"
"Tch~"
"You spat, didn't you! You just spat, didn't you!? You bastard, you really wanted to kill me!!"
A blinding white beam shot from Jun's hand. Ichigo instinctively dodged, relying entirely on his sixth sense, as the beam's speed was far too fast for him to react to. He managed to dodge, and the beam instantly pierced through the Training Ground. Jun then snapped his fingers, and the beam collapsed.
The entire villa area was instantly filled with an extremely high concentration of Spiritual Power, equivalent to the highest Reiatsu of a Vice-Captain level. This concentration would make ordinary people feel extremely uncomfortable, but not fatal.
"Wow, wow~ Is it that strong?" Jun arrived at the hole and activated her Siphon, absorbing a lot of Spiritual Power before repairing the hole and the Space Kidō. "It really seems a bit overdone."
Ichigo was stunned. He had truly escaped death just now, and his voice was trembling as he spoke, "Y-you really..."
Jun turned back, maintaining his smile, "Aizen and I are essentially the same kind of person. We appear gentle, but are ruthless at heart. We never joke, unless there's a hint of a joke in what I say! If I say I'm serious and will kill you, then I mean it."
Ichigo finally understood what kind of person he was facing. From the very first second he met Jun, Ichigo had a feeling that was hard to describe, and now he knew. He had experienced that feeling once before on Sōkyoku Hill, when he faced Aizen.
A profound sense of powerlessness pervaded the air, not because Aizen and Jun were particularly strong—though strength was certainly a factor—but more so because of their attitude: killing without a shred of conscience, as if it were an utterly ordinary act.
What's the most fundamental aspect of Jun and Aizen? It's planning! Both Jun and Aizen meticulously plan, and these plans contain numerous thresholds, including the number of deaths. Within these thresholds, neither of them would hesitate to accept death, because it's a necessary sacrifice; people are already dead, and isn't death a normal occurrence?
So Jun has already put Ichigo on his death list, and it's an acceptable death. He meant it when he said he was serious.
In an instant, the pressure on Ichigo became unbearable. Jun appeared before him, a strange sword in his hand. Ichigo rushed forward to block it.
"No!" Rukia saw the shape of the knife, but it was too late to cry out.
With Jun's Zanjutsu and the enhancement of his Sanctification, his speed was no less than Ichigo's. After this exchange, Ichigo instantly realized that his sword was malfunctioning. Jun then retreated, and Ichigo's Tensa Zangetsu slammed into the ground. He could only manage to lift the hilt of his sword with all his might.
Jun brandished the sword in his hand. "This sword is called Hundred-Change Monster. Its ability is to mimic other swords, as long as I've seen them before. Right now, it's mimicking Suke, the Zanpakuto of Izuru Kira, a member of the Third Division of Soul Society. Its ability is to increase weight. Any object that collides with this sword will have its weight doubled, and then doubled again upon further collision."
"But Hundred-Change Monster's ability can't completely replicate the power of the transformation sword, so Hundred-Change Monster's transformation ability is additive, not multiplicative. That's why I've fought you so many times. Your sword is probably over a hundred times heavier, isn't it?"
Ichigo could only lift Tensa Zangetsu by enveloping the entire sword in High Reiatsu. This shows that the simulated ability is flawed. If it were the original Ichigo, Tensa Zangetsu's weight would be more than 2 to the power of 100, making it heavier than the Earth itself.
"You can still lift it? Release! True Transformation!" Jun released Hundred-Change Monster, then went over and clashed swords with Ichigo twice. Ichigo had no choice but to fight back; his Zanjutsu was inferior to Jun's, and the sword was so heavy. He immediately realized that he could no longer lift the sword at all.
"Once I unleash it, I can completely replicate the power I desire, but only in the Shikai. So now, this assistance is truly powerful—one strike doubles the power, two strikes quadruple it. Come on!"
Ichigo was still trying to pick up his sword when Jun chuckled and touched it again. Ichigo persisted, so Jun lowered his head four times, and the weight, more than a hundred times the normal weight multiplied by sixteen, finally became unbearable for Ichigo. The weight was so great that it even injured Ichigo's hand.
Before Ichigo could react, Jun kicked Ichigo, stepped on his shoulder, and aimed his Super Roar Hand Cannon at Ichigo, his Spiritual Power building up.
Ichigo tried to move, but he couldn't. Junichi his right hand, revealing a talisman. "Immobilizing Talisman. After it touches you, you won't be able to move anymore, but you can still speak."
"You!"
"You've reached a dead end. Now I'll simulate Nnoitra's Gran Rey Cero. I guarantee it will be stronger, not weaker. Don't blame me if you die."
Ichigo was drenched in sweat, but it wasn't visible beneath the Hollowfication Mask. He truly felt death approaching. Ichigo felt rage—why did Jun have to kill him?! Then he realized the Hollowfication Mask and his face had merged again. A violent thought churned in his mind, and at the same time, all the power in his body was gathering in his throat.
"They're here?" Pure Energy sensed Ichigo's change and, when he felt Ichigo's power had nearly gathered, fired the cannon.
The laser beam from the hand cannon Cero violently with Ichigo. Jun couldn't keep up with Ichigo and staggered backward. Ichigo used his core strength to stand up, and the two streams of Spiritual Power converged and accumulated at the center of their impact.
With a snap of his fingers, all the Spiritual Power exploded outwards, and Chun activated his Siphon Spiritual Power to absorb it all.
"It worked! Ichigo Kurosaki, how do you feel now?" Jun's fingers were clenched together, preventing any problems for Ichigo. If Ichigo Hollow's consciousness, Jun would snap his fingers immediately. No matter how strong you are, it's useless if you can't gather Reiatsu; you're just a waste.
Ichigo clutched his face and screamed, "Ah~! I feel so bad!! I'm so angry!! I'm going to kill you~! I'm going to kill you!!"
However, just as Ichigo lunged at Jun, a sword pierced through his Ichigo. The others were stunned, but Ichigo stopped.
Jun looked at Rukia and the others, "Want to know what Ichigo's Inner World is like? Want to come along?"
This battle was beyond the capabilities of the three of them; they couldn't possibly control it. But now, they felt they could perhaps join in.
"Put your hands on the sword and hold them tight, then I'll lead you inside."
