Three-in-One, Red Light Wrapped in Black

Let's turn our attention back to London, where Ichigo and Uryū are teaming up to fight Cinderella, one of the Fairy Tale Dragon.

Cinderella twirled and danced under the moonlight, countless stardust flying from beneath her wings, drifting and spreading like dust in all directions.

However, these beautiful reflections of the moonlight possess an incredibly terrifying power; they are nothing short of bombs.

"Crescent Moon, Sky Rush!"

After a brief gathering of power, a wide-ranging black crescent swept across the sky, its target not the Cinderella dancing in the night sky, but the stardust flying everywhere.

In Ichigo's view, since Tsuna has entrusted him with this opponent, he must deal with all the enemies. He cannot rely on Tsuna to protect him and ignore the bombs attacking London, and simply fight Cinderella.

"Hirenkyaku!" Uryū and Ichigo shared the same thought, and he Hirenkyaku to quickly clear away the starlight remaining from Getsuga Tensho.

"This can't go on!"

Ichigo appeared beside Uryū, and the two of them were completely worn down by Cinderella, Cinderella free-flying figure was the greatest mockery of them.

"We must resolve this as soon as possible, by any means necessary!" Ichigo continued.

If Cinderella continues to play around, both he and Uryū might be exhausted by Cinderella down in one blow.

"I can injure it with the power of the Antithesis," Uryū said. As long as he used the power of the Antithesis, Cinderella would be 100% injured.

"How badly would you have to be blown up to severely damage that dragon?"

Ichigo strongly opposed Uryū catching the bomb and then reflecting it back to Cinderella, the Antithesis while this technique is a god-tier skill against enemies of similar size, it's somewhat ineffective against a dragon.

"What do you need me to do?" Uryū glanced at Ichigo, Ichigo couldn't hide his thoughts and saw through Ichigo ulterior motives at a glance.

"Hehe, I want to try out some new power. You cover me for me." Ichigo chuckled, wiping his nose.

"A new force? Could it be..."

"I had a vague feeling about it when I went to Hell last time. I tried it out a little, and it seems to work." Ichigo unleashed another Getsuga Tensho sweep away the explosives in the sky.

"I understand. You can practice with me again when we get back," Uryū said. Ichigo has always been his role model, and now that Ichigo has taken another step forward, how could he not be anxious?

"No problem!" Ichigo never refuses such small favors.

"I'll be watching your new power closely." Uryū sheathed the Ginrei Kojaku, drew two one-handed Spirit Bow, and fired his arrows at the starry sky. "Double, Hirenkyaku!"

Without the precise aim of Ryūken, this one-handed Spirit Bow and Arrows doesn't have much attack power, but it's enough to trigger the explosion of stardust.

The entire London night sky was enveloped in the light of the explosion, and beneath that light, Ichigo began his experiment.

"Come, Zangetsu!"

A white, arrogant version of Ichigo emerged from behind Ichigo, also wielding a Tensa Zangetsu, only this one was white.

"Are you ready? I can't guarantee what might happen~" Zangetsu laughed.

"I believe you wouldn't harm me, because you are Zangetsu!"

Zangetsu opened his mouth slightly. Faced with Ichigo's decisive answer, he didn't know what to say. It was precisely Ichigo's absolute trust in his own people that made him and that sunglasses-wearing guy so loyal to him.

"Bring it on."

Zangetsu stood beside Ichigo, raising his right hand, which was not holding a sword. Ichigo also raised his left hand, their hands overlapping. Above their palms was the Quincy Cross necklace that Masaki Kurosaki had given Ichigo, the embodiment of his Fullbring.

Emerald light emanated from the necklace, Ichigo's spiritual pressure turned into a deep black, while an ominous red light shone from Zangetsu.

The moment Zangetsu emerged from Ichigo's body, he temporarily entrusted the power of the Bleach to Ichigo for safekeeping, while he himself became a being wholly represented by the Hollow's power.

Under the brilliance of Fullbring, the powers of the Bleach and the Hollows gradually synchronized, even the rising spiritual pressure flames were exactly the same.

At this moment, Ichigo and Zangetsu were completely connected. Even their mouth movements were exactly the same, a Fullbring replica of the Fullbring necklace.

"It's coming! Beyond Bankai!" x2

The two voices emanated simultaneously from Ichigo and Zangetsu, completely indistinguishable from each other, merging seamlessly under the influence of Fullbring.

A dazzling red light enveloped the blackness and shot into the sky. In that instant, everyone in London instinctively looked in the direction where Ichigo was. Whether they could see him or not, their instincts told them that there was an extremely terrifying presence in that direction.

Orihime and the others who were helping to maintain order at the shelter also looked in Ichigo's direction. They all recognized it as Ichigo's spiritual pressure.

"Ichigo- kun..." Orihime fingers, filled with unease. What kind of opponent could possibly require Ichigo to unleash such terrifying power?

A hand patted Orihime's shoulder, and Tatsuki smiled reassuringly, "Don't worry, Tsuna is right next to him."

On the Shard, Harry Sack's mouth hung open in disbelief. Although he didn't understand the Eastern power system, he could sense endless magical energy coming from Ichigo's direction.

Harry Sack couldn't help but fantasize that if he possessed such terrifying magic, he could probably destroy London with a mere gesture.

Tsuna was even more pleasantly surprised. He didn't know when Ichigo had learned a Beyond Bankai, and he never expected that Ichigo, with his personality, would be able to hold back from revealing it. Another powerful being who Beyond Bankai has been added to the ranks, which is great.

Standing not far from Ichigo, Uryū subconsciously began to compare himself to Ichigo under this spiritual pressure, wondering if he could kill Ichigo in this state.

Under the moonlight, Cinderella stopped dancing. She sensed a constant threat from the red-encased black pillar of light. Her body's instincts told her to run away, but the spell left by Haschwalth caused her to destroy London.

Outside London, Haschwalth, who thought he had everything under control, showed a change in expression. He remembered this kind of pressure all too well; he had been feeling similar powerful spiritual pressure repeatedly recently.

Haschwalth was present at the scene, just like Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's Melting Double Bone, Tsuna's Rain-attribute Five-Sword Style, and the Storm Attribute Red Team.

How could the West Bureau possibly possess such power?

Haschwalth began his journey towards the Empire. Blocked in London by such a powerful adversary, even though Askin and his team successfully rescued the girl group members, they were unable to leave London.

One Cinderella isn't enough; the waters must be stirred up, the muddier the better!

The pillar of light slowly disappeared, revealing Ichigo's appearance. His original orange hair had turned into long black hair, and his face bore a striking resemblance to Kaien Shiba.

Ichigo's undergarment is the black Shinigami Uniform when Bankai. Over this undergarment is white armor that mimics the shape of human bones. Zangetsu is still a pure black longsword, but the tsuba has been transformed into a spear-like shape.

The most eye-catching feature is the pair of wings extending from Ichigo's back. The wings are also blade-shaped, mainly composed of black Bleach power, and wrapped in red Hollow's power on the outside.

The wings do not provide the ability to fly; instead, they hang naturally behind Ichigo, making it look more like Ichigo is carrying two extra swords.

"The Locking Heaven's Sun." Ichigo slowly uttered the name that Beyond Bankai, "Are you ready, Cinderella!"

A strong sense of crisis kept surging in Cinderella's heart. She began to wander aimlessly, her instincts and magic clashing fiercely within her, neither able to prevail over the other.

In a flash, a black light with a hint of red flickered past Cinderella. Ichigo didn't care what kind of confusion Cinderella was in; he only knew that he had to deal with this Gillian that was threatening London.

"Tch, did you dodge it?"

Ichigo was somewhat dissatisfied. He wasn't yet proficient in controlling the power of the Locking Heaven's Sun, and Cinderella's erratic movements had allowed it to luckily dodge Ichigo's thrust aimed directly at the dragon's body.

A torrent of Dragon Blood spilled from Cinderella's body, sparing her physical injury, but Ichigo sword strike.

The sight of this Dragon Blood falling from the sky filled Harry Sack Shak with envy and despair, making him grit his teeth in frustration. "Ah! What a pity!"

For Harry Sack, this legendary Dragon Blood would be of great benefit to his cultivation. Using it to draw dragon patterns on his body might even allow him to reach a higher level of strength.

"Captain Harry, remember to give me a big red envelope afterwards," Tsuna said with a smile.

The characteristic of Lightning Attribute is hardness. As long as Tsuna wants, nothing can penetrate the defense of Lightning Attribute flames. He simply used lightning to condense into a bowl shape under Cinderella and collected all the spilled Dragon Blood.

"Absolutely! You can take anything you like in London. Just tell us the name of our management team!" Harry Sack said, patting his chest with tears in his eyes.

The physical pain eventually overcame the constraints of the technique. Faced with such a formidable enemy, Cinderella had no intention of fighting Ichigo. She turned around and scattered countless starlight towards Ichigo, using the opportunity to quickly fly away into the distance.

The violent explosions obscured Ichigo's vision. He didn't even try to dodge them; his Ichigo, harder than Steel Skin, easily withstood the attacks.

"Trying to escape? Did I agree to that?"

Ichigo raised his Zanpakuto on the spot, a huge ball of crimson energy gathering at the tip of the blade, and he hurled it in the direction Cinderella had fled.

The crimson energy sphere transformed into a giant dark red swastika the moment it left the Zanpakuto, and was imprinted directly on Cinderella's back with overwhelming force.

A bloodcurdling scream echoed through the London night sky. As the swastika appeared, it unleashed an unprecedented burst of crimson energy, instantly incinerating Cinderella like a magic circle.

Under Harry Sack's expectant gaze, Cinderella didn't bleed any more. Ichigo also noticed that the attack felt a bit strange, and only realized it after Flash Step to get there.

In the center of that enormous swastika pattern lay a crystal claw made of the same material as stardust, while the real Cinderella was clearly untouched by Ichigo's attack.

"Crystal slippers? Let's see where you can hide!"

The dark red spiritual pressure swept across London like a wave of flames. This Cinderella had no pumpkin carriage, and with her wings injured and one claw missing, she couldn't run far at all. Ichigo's spiritual pressure immediately pinpointed her location.

(PS: To briefly explain Ichigo's power, this book doesn't feature the dual-sword Ichigo from the anime.)

Firstly, I don't think Ichigo looks good, neither his Shikai nor his Bankai. I don't know what Kubo's aesthetic sense led him to design it that way. Maybe the time was too short and they didn't design it properly.

Secondly, the dual- Ichigo actually became Ichigo during the forging process because he correctly recognized the power of Zangetsu and Old Man Zangetsu. This aspect no longer exists in this book, and this Ichigo is already able to correctly understand his own power.

In his Locking Heaven's Sun state, Ichigo is in no way inferior to Ichigo in his Twin Blades Bankai form. Of course, this is not Ichigo's final form; he will eventually combine all four into one.

One last thing: Tensa Zangetsu is only truly cool when it's long and slender!
