Young Ichigo Kurosaki is currently a Death God who can't Bankai.

However, the gap between a novice Grim Death God is much, much, much larger than the gap between a human and Death God.

Ichigo Kurosaki is an overpowered, super-powered character!!

Just by counting all the cheats he uses, you'll know just how outrageous he is.

Ichigo Kurosaki's father was a former captain of the Death God Division, and his mother was the strongest Quincy. He was born with both Death God and Quincy bloodlines.

His mother was attacked by a mysterious Hollow while pregnant, and miraculously absorbed the Hollow's power, becoming a monster that combined three extraordinary power systems.

However, because the three powers achieved a perfect balance, Ichigo Kurosaki did not exhibit any of the powers after his birth; he only possessed a pair of spiritual eyes that allowed him to see spirits.

However, this protective balance allowed him to give birth to the powerful Zanpakuto Zangetsu, as well as White, which was created entirely to protect him. The two even combined to form the unreasonable power of "Fullbring".

It wasn't until Rukia Kuchiki infused Ichigo Kurosaki with the power of Death God that the balance of power within him was broken, Awakening the power of Death God, and he began his rapid ascent on the path to becoming a strongman.

Yes, everyone thought that Ichigo Kurosaki used Rukia's Death God power, but in reality, he used all his own power. Rukia's power was just the key to breaking the balance.

Rukia's limited power forces the young Death God to prioritize technique above all else; how could she possibly withstand Ichigo Kurosaki's berserk fighting style?

Ichigo Kurosaki's fighting style is characterized by its wide-ranging and powerful attacks, each strike delivered with all his might. A single blow can defeat a Death God, making it perfectly suited for chaotic battles.

But the Eleventh Division was no pushover either; no matter how many of Ichigo's teammates were Ichigo, it didn't affect their morale.

The battle maniacs swarmed forward, surrounding Ichigo Kurosaki and Ganju Shiba in layers, countless long swords gleaming coldly as they slashed towards their vital points.

Surrounded, Ichigo Kurosaki and Ganju Shiba charged left and right, repelling wave after wave of Death God.

But as more and more Death God joined the encirclement, Ganju Shiba couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

He shouted, "Ichigo, we can't get entangled with the enemy here! This is the Soul Society; the number of Death God will only increase if we fight more."

"No matter how many Death God we defeat, Death God will surround us. If the two of us are surrounded like this, we definitely won't last long."

"Besides, the Death God in front of us is nothing. Once the high- Seated Officer Death God, vice- Death God, or even Captain-level arrive, we're doomed!"

Ichigo Kurosaki also sensed something was wrong, and he asked with a furrowed brow, "Ganju, do you have any good ideas?"

Having been in the underworld for a long time, Ganju Shiba replied without hesitation, "Take a hostage, force the Death God to stop, and then we'll take the opportunity to escape."

Ichigo Kurosaki had watched many police dramas on TV and immediately thought of a similar plot, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's do it this way."

At this moment, Yumichika Ayasegawa arrived with more Death God from the Eleventh Division, further solidifying the encirclement.

Ganju Shiba panicked and shouted, "Hurry, it'll be too late if we don't get away now!"

Just as the two were anxiously trying to figure out how to capture a suitable hostage to escape, Hanatarō from the Fourth Division happened to walk out of the alley.

Just then, Ichigo Kurosaki unleashed his ultimate attack, forcing the Eleventh Division's Death God to retreat repeatedly. The weak and powerless Death God Hanatarō was knocked off his feet by the muscular Death God and stumbled to the ground at the feet of Ganju Shiba.

In that instant, the battle came to an abrupt halt, and everyone stared blankly at this coincidental scene.

Ichigo Kurosaki reacted quickly enough, grabbing Hanatarō and holding a meat cleaver to his neck.

Ganju Shiba then shouted skillfully, "Everyone, get back! We have hostages!"

"Don't come any closer! If you do, we'll kill you!!"

The Death God of the Eleventh Division were stunned when they saw this, and both Ichigo Kurosaki and Shiba felt that there was a chance.

The two then grinned wickedly and threatened, "Hey, why don't you two get back now? If you don't want your companion to live, we'll grant your wish."

Ganju Shiba cautioned, "You'd better think this through. We've been holding back so far; we haven't killed anyone yet. Don't push us too far."

Ichigo Kurosaki continued, "Yes, if we're forced to kill this guy, we're forcing him to start a killing spree, and then even more of you will die."

However, they threatened the wrong people.

Upon hearing the two men's threats, the Death God's previously cheerful gaze suddenly turned cold, and the carnival-like atmosphere became incredibly chilling.

Ganju Shiba sensed a deadly threat; the hairs on his body stood on end, and he almost trembled.

Ichigo Kurosaki swallowed hard and asked in a low voice, "Ganju, I feel like we've made a mistake?"

Ganju Shiba replied, "I don't know either."

As a hostage, Hanatarō weakly reminded him, "Hey, they're the Eleventh Division Death God, the main fighting force facing Hollows head-on."

Ichigo Kurosaki asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Hanatarō replied, "I mean, the Death God of the Eleventh Division are known among the Gotei 13 for their belligerence and fearlessness; they wouldn't care about me or their own lives."

"Hmph, the fourth team's weaklings may be disappointing, but what they said is true."

The Death God of the Eleventh Division stared at Ichigo Kurosaki, Shiba, and the Hanatarō with icy indifference, as if they were already dead.

Those wounded by Ichigo Kurosaki earlier all stepped forward, ignoring their injuries.

They shouted, "The Eleventh Division has no fear of death!"

"I was just playing along with you before, huh? Now you think you're so tough? Come on, let's see what you're made of!"

Ganju Shiba pressed his weapon against Hanatarō's face and shouted, "Aren't you afraid of dying? Aren't you afraid we'll kill him?"

The Death God of the Eleventh Division scoffed, "Pah! How are we any kind of comrades with that weakling?"

"Don't be silly, we already told you, he's from the Fourth Division."

"Our 11th Division is the strongest of the Gotei 13. The Fourth Division is no match for them. They only provide medical care and are the weakest and most burdensome of the Thirteen Divisions."

Claiming to be the strongest, the members of the Eleventh Division roared with smug laughter, "Kill me if you want!"

"Kill him quickly, that way he won't get in the way!"

"Hahaha!"

"Everyone, attack together and wipe out both the Calamity Brigade and the Fourth Division!"

"Oh ho! Kill--!"

The murderous Eleventh Division of Death God, arranged in a neat battle formation, pressed down on Ichigo Kurosaki like a wall.

Ichigo and Ganju felt an overwhelming pressure, and without hesitation they rushed into the alley where Hanatarō had come from, leading the frail Fourth Division Death God in a frantic escape.

But how could two people unfamiliar with the place outrun Death God? As the distance between them drew closer, they considered abandoning their burdensome hostage, but felt unwilling to do so.

The hostages don't pose a threat to the Eleventh Division, but they might be useful against other divisions—right?

Just as they were about to be caught, a wall suddenly bulged out from one side of the alley.

Boom!

The protruding wall exploded, and countless bricks and stones, like shrapnel, completely covered the Eleventh Division of Death God were chasing Ichigo Kurosaki.

These bricks were propelled by a powerful Spiritual Pressure shockwave at extremely high speeds, causing immense destruction. Moreover, they showed signs of Spirit Particles collapse, completely transforming into Spirit Particles weapons.

Death God who were struck by the bricks and stones were all covered in smoke and fell to the ground in a sorry state.

Ichigo Kurosaki's classmate and fellow invader, Yasutora Sado, emerged from a large hole in the damaged wall.

The tall man, whose eyes were hidden by bangs, saw Ichigo and a smile appeared on his serious face, "I sensed your Spiritual Pressure earlier. It really was you."

"Chad! I'm so glad you're alright."

Seeing that Yasutora Sado was safe and sound, Ichigo Kurosaki was also very happy. "I was worried about everyone's safety because we were forced to separate as soon as we came in."

Ichigo Kurosaki Rukia Rescue Team, his primary goal being to rescue Rukia, but he couldn't accept sacrificing his comrades' lives for it.

The young boy was still inexperienced and had never been prepared to pay the price for his adventures.

But as soon as he landed, he was besieged by Death God, and the battle was extremely difficult. Only then did he realize that the adventure was far more dangerous than he had imagined.

This is an adventure, not a video game; there is a possibility of injury or death.

Seeing that Chad was safe and sound, Ichigo Kurosaki finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You Ryoka, aren't you celebrating too soon?"

Finally, Ikkaku Madarame and Yumichika Ayasegawa the team, couldn't hold back any longer. They pushed aside the dizzy team members and strode to the front of the crowd.

Chad sensed the power of the two Death God and, without hesitation, stepped in front of Ichigo, using his towering figure, even larger than a basketball player, to firmly protect his classmate.

"Ichigo, you're taking the hostages too slowly. Go ahead, I'll hold them off here and buy some time."

"Be careful. When it's almost time, leave quickly. Don't get entangled with Death God; there are too many of them."

Ichigo Kurosaki wasn't one to fuss over things; after saying that, he and Shiba dragged the hostage away.

Ikkaku Madarame's eyes were cold and sharp. He was about to give chase, but was stopped by Yasutora Sado that slammed him against the wall.

The tall, imposing youth, his figure like a mountain, declared firmly, "You won't get past me."

Yumichika Ayasegawa asked curiously, "You're actually that confident?"

"Of course I'm confident." Yasutora Sado clenched his right fist, which was imbued with immense spiritual power. A powerful Spiritual Pressure emanated from his body, and his aura grew increasingly imposing. "My power gives me confidence."

He locked his gaze on Yumichika through his eyes hidden behind his Yumichika and confidently said, "I'll take care of you in a minute."

Then he glanced at Ikkaku Madarame: "I'll take care of you in the second minute, then I can retreat."

Yumichika Ayasegawa couldn't help but laugh, "Pfft! Kid, you're really brave!"

He drew his Asauchi longsword, smiling broadly, and said, "You're just too young; you don't yet know what true power is."

"Come, let me tell you the difference between you, a mortal, and the real Death God."

"How arrogant!" Yasutora Sado stepped forward and threw a punch, shouting, "Take this punch before you talk big again!"

Yumichika Ayasegawa flashed like Inazuma, meeting Chad's fist head-on.

Boom!

The shockwave of Spiritual Pressure knocked down the walls and sent many unprepared Death God flying.

Two minutes later, Yumichika wiped the Asauchi longsword clean with a white cotton cloth and slowly sheathed it.

Yasutora Sado, covered in blood, fell into a coma and was carried away by the Death God of the Eleventh Division towards the Fourth Division.

After tidying everything up, Yumichika Ayasegawa looked at his friend curiously. "Why aren't you going after them?"

"What the hell are you chasing after!" Ikkaku Madarame lamented. "It's too late!"

Yumichika then curiously sensed the change in Spiritual Pressure and instantly recognized two extremely familiar Spiritual Pressure, immediately understanding why his friend had stopped pursuing him.

Those are the Spiritual Pressure of their Eleventh Division's captain and vice-captain. If they chase after them, can they outcompete the captain, or avoid being bullied by the vice-captain?

The thought alone sends chills down my spine.

Yumichika Ayasegawa said repeatedly, "Let's go, hurry! Let's go catch the other Ryoka!"

Ikkaku Madarame nodded in agreement, saying, "Let's go. There are still several more Ryoka anyway, it doesn't matter which one we catch."

The members of the Eleventh Division also felt the Spiritual Pressure of their captain. They admired their captain Kenpachi Zaraki, but they avoided him like the plague when he was off the battlefield.

The reason is simple: with the captain around, he monopolizes the most interesting battles, leaving these battle maniacs with no joy in fighting.

So it's best to avoid it if you can.

Just as Ichigo Kurosaki and Ganju Shiba were running away with the hostages, a terrifying Spiritual Pressure suddenly erupted in front of them.

--

The Spiritual Pressure was as vast as mountains and seas, and the air itself solidified into a wall in Setsuna, blocking their path forward.

Immediately afterwards, an immense Spiritual Pressure rolled down like an avalanche, suppressing Ichigo Kurosaki and Ganju Shiba, rendering them unable to move.

This violent, ferocious, and malevolent Spiritual Pressure was completely different from that of the previous Death God, instantly filling the air with a strong stench of blood.

Ichigo Kurosaki felt as if a strong wind was blowing in his face; he could not breathe properly and even had difficulty opening his eyes, making it impossible for him to see the enemy.

Ganju Shiba was in an even worse state; he felt a cold sensation on his neck, as if a not-so-sharp knife was held against it, ready to saw through his throat at any moment.

As for the hostage Hanatarō, he was now lying on the ground like a lump of mud, seemingly no longer breathing.

"Found it----"

A deep voice rang out. Although Captain Kenpachi Zaraki tried his best to suppress it, the bloodthirsty madness still emanated from it, making the Ryoka tremble with fear, as if they had fallen into the Muken.

Kenpachi Zaraki walked over from a distance and stood right in front of Ichigo Kurosaki.

A Pink-Hair girl suddenly appeared on his tall shoulder, laughing and saying, "Hehe, Little Kenpachi is so lucky. Getting lost didn't stop him from encountering the strongest Ryoka."
