Chapter Summaries

Lu Li reviewed his newly awakened Kekkei Mōra and upgraded his God-King Bloodline twice, gaining the Prophecy and Valhalla skills. He left with a powerful new way to summon defeated enemies as Heroic Spirits, while considering how to use his expanding abilities.

• Lu Li examined Kekkei Mōra's skills, including Infinite Tsukuyomi, Immortality, Six Paths Reincarnation, and God-Slayer, and judged God-Slayer especially suited to his combat style.
• Lu Li decided to strengthen his God-King Bloodline before spending attribute points and paid for two upgrades despite their high cost.
• Lu Li awakened Prophecy, which could reveal a specific piece of a target's future, but found its limitations made it difficult to use.
• Lu Li awakened Valhalla, which let him summon projections of enemies he had defeated at their peak strength, with their attributes synchronized to his base attributes if needed.
• Lu Li realized Valhalla's Heroic Spirits could benefit from the Animal Path bonus and considered collecting powerful opponents to build a useful force.

• Kisuke Urahara welcomed Lu Li to his shop and asked what he planned to do after returning.

• Uryu removed the gloves and fired arrows at Lu Li, but Lu Li effortlessly shattered them, outmaneuvered him, and crushed his Reishi Bow.
• Lu Li told Uryu to find him again after his power disappeared, then left him behind and walked toward Chad and Orihime.

Lu Li repeatedly healed and fought Kenpachi Zaraki until the battle awakened Kenpachi’s Zanpakuto releases, while Ichigo and Renji continued toward Repentance Palace to rescue Rukia.
