King's Seal Rampage

From the moment the empty Zanpakuto was inserted into Kusaka's body, the purple ice dragon stopped struggling. Strands of purple spiritual pressure were drawn from Kusaka's body and injected into the Zanpakuto.

This Zanpakuto is like an empty syringe, being filled little by little by Kusaka's Hyōrinmaru.

As the spiritual pressure was extracted, the ice dragon's body shattered into ice crystals, which then dissipated into particles of purple starlight.

As Kusaka's body gradually became fully revealed, without Hyōrinmaru's restraint, his eyes regained their clarity. He struggled to raise his head and looked at Toshiro with the gentlest smile.

"Winter Lion... Lang..."

"Sojiro!" Toshiro exclaimed in surprise. He had thought that Kusaka had been completely corrupted by Hyōrinmaru, but he never expected that he could communicate with Kusaka again.

Toshiro believed that the person speaking in front of him was Sojiro Kusaka, without needing any reason, just as he had immediately recognized that the person who attacked him was merely a fraudster with a Kusaka- like appearance.

Toshiro glanced at Kusaka's familiar face, his grip on his Zanpakuto tightening. Only one thought remained in Toshiro's mind: draw the sword, draw the Zanpakuto, and perhaps Sojiro could survive...

With one hand exerting force, the Zanpakuto remained motionless; with both hands combined, the Zanpakuto trembled precariously.

"Let's stop here... Toshiro..."

Upon hearing Kusaka's words, Toshiro once again shifted his gaze from the Zanpakuto to Kusaka. It turned out that not only him, but Kusaka also gripped the Zanpakuto with both hands, only the direction of Kusaka's grip was completely opposite to Toshiro's.

"Why? For defense, Sojiro..."

Tears silently streamed down his face. When he called out Kusaka's name, Toshiro nearly lost his voice. Was he going to have to endure the pain of the past again? Why was it always you who chose to sacrifice?

As a close friend, Kusaka saw through Toshiro's thoughts. A pained smile appeared on his face, and he dared not relax his grip on the Zanpakuto.

"Toshiro... I can't survive..."

Kusaka understood his situation all too well. If it weren't for Hyōrinmaru and the King's Seal's Seal, he would have died long ago. He was already very content to see Toshiro one last time in his final moments.

"No... no!" Toshiro still hadn't given up on drawing his sword, but why was the sword so heavy, showing no sign of being pulled out?

"Toshiro... after that battle... I understood a lot... Hyōrinmaru was originally your Zanpakuto... I... am just a piece of trash who can't even communicate with Asauchi..."

During the years he was controlled by Hyōrinmaru, Kusaka repeatedly replayed his battles with Toshiro, and in the end he had to admit that Hyōrinmaru had never acknowledged him.

Hyōrinmaru was never Kusaka's Zanpakuto. It was only a matter of time before Kusaka was controlled. It can be said that when Kusaka and Toshiro obtained Asauchi together, his tragedy was already destined.

"No... no..."

Toshiro was in great pain. Hearing his best friend constantly belittle himself to comfort him, he felt as if something was blocking his heart. He wanted to argue back, but he couldn't do anything.

"It's so nice to see you again..." Kusaka's voice and expression were full of tenderness. "Toshiro... take my strength... and our shared dream... and keep going..."

Suddenly, the purple light on the Zanpakuto surged wildly as if it had been injected with hormones. Kusaka had made his move. After all, Hyōrinmaru was still with him. When Hyōrinmaru was in decline, he had the ability to manipulate the flow of Hyōrinmaru's spiritual pressure.

"Sojiro!!!"

The energy on the empty Zanpakuto is about to be fully replenished, and the shape of the Kusaka is fading. Toshiro's miserable cry is met with the final tenderness of the Kusaka.

"Goodbye forever... Toshiro..."

Kusaka opened his mouth, as if he had something else to say, but suddenly his expression changed drastically, and an inexplicable spiritual pressure was surging within him!

Previously, due to Toshiro's attack, the power belonging to Hyōrinmaru was weakened, which allowed Kusaka to temporarily regain control of his body. However, because his entire spiritual pressure was drawn into his Zanpakuto, Kusaka's remaining power was unable to stop Hyōrinmaru's final madness.

Hyōrinmaru used its last bit of spiritual pressure to issue a command to the King's Seal: self-destruct, devouring this world. It knew it had failed, but it would never accept the success of others.

Since we've already failed, let's destroy it!

Kusaka panicked. It was Hyōrinmaru, not him, who was illuminated by the light of the King's Seal. He had no way to stop Hyōrinmaru's actions. With his last bit of strength, Kusaka could only lean forward and reach out his hand.

"Let's go, take him with us!"

The first word was spoken to Toshiro. Kusaka struck Toshiro in the chest with a palm, pulling out the Zanpakuto was stuck in Kusaka's chest along with it.

The second "leave" was directed at Tsuna, Tsuna had already reached the top of the tower. He simply didn't want to interfere with the ethical drama Toshiro and his best friend.

Kusaka looked at Tsuna's expression with some relief. Was such a powerful person Toshiro's comrade?

That's wonderful, Toshiro. You deserve better companions to walk with you on the road to the future.

I'm sorry, as your close friend, I have to stop here for now...

With all his spiritual pressure dissipated, the few remaining ice flowers on Kusaka's body fully bloomed, reaching their peak. These flowers, nurtured by Sojiro Kusaka's spiritual pressure, took away Sojiro Kusaka's life.

"Sojiro!"

Toshiro struggled to his feet and, disregarding everything, crawled toward Sojiro Kusaka, who had turned into an ice sculpture. Unfortunately, this short journey was one he could never complete in his entire life—a journey through the life and death of the soul.

Toshiro Tsuna the back of his neck, picked up the purple Zanpakuto and stuffed it into Toshiro's arms, then sheathed Hyōrinmaru and with a little force threw Toshiro off the tower.

"Protect your best friend's belongings, and remember your best friend's last wishes." These were the words Tsuna said to Toshiro had already flown out of the tower.

It's no wonder Tsuna was so cruel in abandoning Toshiro; he simply didn't want Toshiro to witness the terrible things that were about to happen. Toshiro only needed to remember the most beautiful aspects of the Kusaka.

A series of cracking sounds rang out, and a large black hole collapsed in the chest of the Kusaka. His face was shattered beyond recognition, and ice flowers drifted down from the Kusaka. The ice sculpture Kusaka could no longer be maintained and was completely shattered by the spiritual pressure in the air.

How cruel! He not only used the corpse of the Kusaka to deceive his best friend, but when the Kusaka lost its value, even the corpse was crushed into ashes.

Tsuna couldn't even imagine how Toshiro's mindset would change upon seeing this scene; perhaps he would launch a desperate attack on the black hole.

"You almost tricked Toshiro," Tsuna said calmly.

A dark aura condensed into the shape of a small dragon and emerged. That was the last consciousness of the purple Hyōrinmaru. Even at this final moment, it was still scheming against Toshiro. If Toshiro went berserk, it might be able to obtain the power of both Hyōrinmaru at once.

"Damn it!" With Toshiro no longer present and the plot of the purple Hyōrinmaru exposed, he roared in a helpless rage, "Toshiro, do you think you can escape! Die, all of you!"

The consciousness of the purple Hyōrinmaru returned to the black hole, which continued to expand. The power of the King's Seal was related to space, and Hyōrinmaru caused the power of the King's Seal to go berserk. The only result was that the barrier of this ice world collapsed.

That's why the consciousness of the purple Hyōrinmaru was so determined to make Toshiro pay with his life. However, there was one condition: for the power of the King's Seal to go berserk, it had to be controlled by Hyōrinmaru, which was that little black dragon.

Tsuna smiled calmly. He had been worried that when Toshiro absorbed the other half of Hyōrinmaru's power, he might be affected by the original Hyōrinmaru's consciousness. Now, the consciousness and power were separated. This other Hyōrinmaru was truly a good sword spirit.

Let Tsuna send off this unique sword spirit on its final journey. The Sun Armlet on Tsuna's left arm burned fiercely, emitting a dazzling light like a blazing sun.

The conditions for igniting the Sun Armlet are extremely demanding; one must be injured to ignite it. However, this is no longer an obstacle after using Resurrección.

The power of the Sun Attribute lizard allows Tsuna to recover from injuries quickly, even growing back an arm that has been severed.

On his way up the tower, Tsuna flung his body parts out in all directions toward the Gillian as much as possible. In the process, Tsuna was also injured, as he ignited all the flames on the Sun Armlet by self-harm.

The flames of the sun gradually enveloped Tsuna, making him as dazzling as the Tsuna sun, almost blinding. The sun's radiance could sweep away some evil.

At this moment, Tsuna became the brightest star in the entire barrier in a physical sense, and everyone could feel the terrifying spiritual pressure contained within that blazing sun.

The collapse of space is indeed terrifying, but what if we fill it with an excessive amount of spiritual pressure? Tsuna wants to see where the limits of this so-called King's Seal are.

Tsuna will respond to the arrogance of the purple Hyōrinmaru with his ultimate strength: the Advance Straight Punch, Limitless Blazing Sun!

The sky suddenly turned dark, and all of Tsuna's spiritual pressure converged on this single punch. Then, endless light burst forth, and all the spiritual pressure was blasted into the black hole through Tsuna's punch.

The black hole suddenly expanded, seemingly nourished by Tsuna's spiritual pressure—the Activation power of the Sun Attribute Flame—which greatly increased the speed of the black hole's expansion.

The consciousness of the purple Hyōrinmaru emitted a cackling laugh, seemingly mocking Tsuna's self-righteous cleverness.

But the next moment, its laughter stopped abruptly. The black hole did not continue to expand, but gradually shrank. As Tsuna injected his spiritual pressure, the shrinking speed increased, and soon it was only the size of a millstone.

Purple Hyōrinmaru tried to struggle, but found that he could no longer control the changes in spatial power caused by the King's Seal. The King's Seal was truly going berserk, and its speed of berserk behavior far exceeded his control.

The power of Activation Super Activation so intense that even Tsuna himself wouldn't dare to fight with Super Activation for an extended period. The massive amount of Super Activation flames injected into the King's Seal can only result in one outcome.

That is, with the help of Activation, the King's Seal traversed countless times and ushered in its destined destruction.
