"It's over, Ichigo Kurosaki!"
One hand pinned Ichigo Kurosaki's head to the ground, while Yhwach's star-cross sword pierced toward Ichigo Kurosaki's neck.
Yhwach spoke in a deep voice.
Among the "futures" he could see, there was one in which he was killed by Ichigo Kurosaki.
Yhwach had tried in the future to make Ichigo Kurosaki his "son," but unfortunately, he had never succeeded in turning Ichigo Kurosaki against his side.

Naturally, the Still Blood Dress formed from Ichigo Kurosaki's reiatsu was no ordinary defense.
Although Yhwach's left hand
