Ferris Wheel, I Want to Go

Byakuya Kuchiki sensed the spiritual pressure of the Valley of Screams and, finding that only the Hollow in the center of the arena was affected, felt slightly relieved. He then said to Akina, "Take care of yourself, and don't go near the center of the vortex."

"Understood." Akina nodded. She didn't plan to go to the very center; to separate the Valley of Screams, she would have to start from the edge.

"Let's do it, Ichigo Kurosaki!" After Byakuya Kuchiki finished speaking, he and Ichigo simultaneously used their Bankai.

"Bankai!"

"Tensa Zangetsu!"

"Senbonzakura Kageyoshi!"

The two didn't stop. Ichigo made a grabbing motion towards his face, and the Hollow Visored appeared on his face. The Visored of Bleach and a Hollow was currently Ichigo's strongest power.

Instead of unleashing a sea of cherry blossoms, Byakuya gathered all the petals on his body. This quantitative change led to a qualitative one, transforming the pink into an extreme white. A pair of wings formed from cherry blossoms appeared behind Byakuya, with a white ring in the center of the wings.

The final technique, White Emperor Sword, is Byakuya's ultimate secret technique. Both he and Ichigo are well aware of it. There is no time for them to test the Hollow. The two of them immediately use their strongest moves.

The two figures, one in black and one in white, used the Flash Step to transform into two streaks of light and headed towards the center of the vortex. After watching Byakuya's figure disappear, Akina also began her actions.

She took the broken Miroku Maru out again and stuck it into the ground. Then, a strange twist appeared in the ground, and the earth transformed into Blanks to repair the Miroku Maru.

Akina's true form is the Thought Bead, and her Zanpakuto isn't a real Zanpakuto, but rather a memory left behind by a Bleach. Therefore, as long as she has enough power, repairing Miroku Maru would be a piece of cake for her.

Outsiders like the Ryūdōji Clan can utilize the power of Blanks. The Akina, Thought Bead born from countless Blanks and yearnings, can mobilize these Blanks through her innate abilities within her body.

"Please Valley of Screams steady for a moment. After I walk around the edge once, the Valley of Screams will be able to separate," Akina said respectfully to Tsuna and Toshiro.

Because of Yanlong's presence, the terrain within the Valley of Screams is constantly crumbling, which is not conducive to Akina's operations.

"I understand. Be careful. Sit upright in the Frost Heaven, Hyōrinmaru."

Toshiro exhaled a blast of cold air, Zanpakuto, and swung it forcefully behind him. His spiritual pressure condensed into a path of frost, which was much more stable than the unstable ground.

Akina understood Toshiro's meaning, nodded to him, and then ran quickly towards the edge of the Valley of Screams on the icy path. Maple leaves fell on the frost with each step she took, leaving behind traces of her footsteps.

"It's time for me to get started, Hachi. Let's use this road as the dividing line; this side is mine."

Tsuna casually pointed to his left, Toshiro, without any objection, activated his Bankai and flew off to the right edge.

The six-pointed star in the pupil was adjusted to the Glacier attribute, and the Reishi was shaped into the form of a Glacier Arm Blade. The Glacier Flame characteristic of the Earth attribute is freezing, which is most suitable for dealing with the current situation.

Tsuna quickly slid his foot across the Reishi to the middle of the left side. He had no intention of walking along the edge; he would start freezing directly from the center.

Tsuna half-squatted on the ground, inserting his arm blade into the earth. Ice-blue flames rapidly flowed along his arm into the ground, and at the same time, a bloodline pattern flashed in his pupils.

The ice surface began to spread outwards in a fan shape from Tsuna towards the Valley of Screams. However, unlike the large-scale freezing that Toshiro experienced, the spreading ice layer spread outwards in a tree-like pattern.

From high above, the tree-like, spreading ice layer looked somewhat similar to the patterns flashing across Tsuna's body.

With a deeper understanding of the Quincy's power, Blut no longer simply uses Tsuna Glacier Flame; he integrates the Blut's abilities into the Ground Flame.

The patterns spreading within the ice layer are not Blut Vene that enhances attack, but rather Blut Vene that uses the Glacier Flame to simulate super-strong defense.

The ice formed by the Glacier Flame already possesses the hardness of diamonds, and with the added power of the Blut Vene, the ice that Tsuna freezes is incredibly hard.

Wherever the Glacier Flame spread, the distortion of the Valley of Screams stopped completely, and in no time, the left half of the Valley of Screams was completely frozen by Tsuna.

Along with the good news, there was also Valley of Screams: Toshiro had deactivated his Bankai state, and with his sword sheathed, he was standing on the frozen ground.

Hyōrinmaru's power after obtaining its true form is terrifying; even Toshiro cannot maintain its Bankai state for long.

The ice flowers on Daiguren Hyōrinmaru are now his countdown. Once the duration of the ice flowers is exceeded and he continues to use Bankai, Toshiro himself will be frostbitten by Hyōrinmaru.

As for revealing the true power of Hyōrinmaru after the ice flowers have withered, as in the past, there is still a long way to go for Toshiro.

The freezing of the Valley of Screams Space prevented Yan Long's transformed form from absorbing any more Blanks, and its size stopped growing.

Ichigo and Byakuya arrived at their chosen positions, standing facing each other on either side of the Hollow, while the Hollow in the middle, which was beginning to take human form, was the transformed form of Yanlong.

While Ryudoji Ganryu still possessed sanity, his lingering obsession was to continuously devour, until he consumed the entire Valley of Screams space.

Therefore, the main part of the void he transformed into was a huge mouth; the rest of his torso and limbs were almost negligible compared to that huge mouth.

Without the replenishment of its Blanks, the giant-mouthed Hollow set its sights on the two newly appeared spiritual pressures around it. Whether to choose the left or the right, it couldn't make a decision for the moment, lacking much reason.

Ichigo and Byakuya wouldn't give it a chance to react, unleashing their accumulated spiritual pressure together.

Getsuga Tensho! Final Scene: White Emperor Sword!

Black and red and white were divided into two Valley of Screams by a void. Yan Long, who had transformed into a void, was torn to shreds by the two spiritual pressures before he could even scream.

As the light faded, Tsuna and Toshiro arrived at the center of the Valley of Screams. Toshiro executed his tactics perfectly, and Ryudoji Ganryu was swiftly beheaded.

The Ryudoji family's conspiracy ultimately failed because they lacked the strength to even make a ripple; it crumbled like a bubble.

"A little... easy?" Ichigo said uncertainly as he pulled off his mask. He was used to strong opponents, but now he felt a little out of place.

Based on Ichigo's experience, a Hollow of Yanlong's strength wouldn't even require Byakuya's intervention; he could take care of it with a single Getsuga Tensho.

"They weren't a particularly strong opponent to begin with, the problem is this place Valley of Screams Space," Tsuna agreed.

"I'll go see if we need to carry out any additional separation tasks," Toshiro said, still somewhat uneasy about entrusting the entire separation task to Akina Valley of Screams.

"I'll go with you."

Before Byakuya could finish speaking, two maple leaves drifted in front of him. He looked closely and realized that the Valley of Screams Space was now filled with fallen maple leaves.

Akina used her power to fill the frozen Valley of Screams with the rich atmosphere of autumn.

Is it time for the curtain to fall? For some reason, this question popped into Byakuya's mind. They hadn't known each other for very long, so why did he feel sad for this girl he had just met?

A wind rose, whipping maple leaves into a frenzy across the Valley of Screams. Tsuna and Toshiro's expressions changed simultaneously; they sensed their frozen land disappearing.

The land becomes the most primal force of the Valley of Screams Blanks, which then transforms into Blanks leaves that dance in the air. For every leaf that dances, an inch of land disappears from the Valley of Screams.

Toshiro quickly took out his instrument to measure the surrounding situation. Strangely, the lines on the instrument were descending steadily, unlike before when Yanlong was there, when they plummeted like a roller coaster.

"The number of Blanks in the Valley of Screams is steadily decreasing, and the connection between the Soul Society and the World of the Living is also becoming weaker."

"If things continue like this, Valley of Screams will self-destruct after the connection is broken, and it won't affect the safety of either world."

"Captain Hitsugaya, please evacuate from Valley of Screams before the connection is lost."

Although Toshiro couldn't quite understand the data, fortunately, Urahara's voice came from the instrument in time. According to Urahara's explanation, the incident at Valley of Screams had come to an end, and Toshiro could evacuate and complete their mission.

"I understand, everyone. Let's evacuate."

Although Toshiro said that, no one present, including Toshiro himself, moved an inch. They were all waiting for the person who would cause the change in Valley of Screams to return.

"Why are you all still standing there like idiots? I've already separated the Valley of Screams, it will disappear soon, so don't worry." Akina descended from the sky with a grin, surrounded by maple leaves.

"Leave now, you're not welcome here, and don't ever come back." Akina still had a smile on her face, showing no sign of disappointment.

"The process of Valley of Screams no longer requires your active control, right?" Tsuna suddenly asked.

"That's right, I gave the order for Valley of Screams to self-destruct, just like your World of the Living's... automation. It will end itself, isn't that amazing!" Akina struck that victorious girl pose again.

"Let's do it, Byakuya! Even if it's just the last bit of time, we must hurry..."

Akina didn't understand Tsuna's exclamation. The next time, she felt her waist being controlled and she was pulled into the sky.

Tsuna, Ichigo, and Toshiro exchanged a smile and followed the steps ahead, returning to the World of the Living through the sky Valley of Screams.

"What... what are you doing, Byakuya? Let me go!" She said this, but Akina didn't struggle at all. Instead, she let Byakuya carry her away from the Valley of Screams.

"I promised you I would go with you to wherever you want to go." Byakuya's tone was still cold, but it sounded warm to Akina.

"But where can I go? I am merely Thought Bead born from the Valley of Screams; the Valley of Screams is truly mine..."

Byakuya didn't listen to Akina's somewhat self-deprecating mutterings any longer and interrupted Akina domineeringly.

"Let's go to the Ferris wheel!"
