Create New Possibilities

"Don't even think about it, Yhwach!"

Ichigo angrily attacked Yhwach, his Getsuga Tensho flying wildly, but no matter how Ichigo attacked, he couldn't even touch a corner of Yhwach's clothes.

However, Tsuna did not take this opportunity to attack Yhwach together with Ichigo. He had a question in his mind: why did Yhwach take the initiative to retreat after the attack?

The collision just now was Yhwach deliberately withdrawing from Tsuna's attack range.

Tsuna didn't understand. With the power of Ichigo's Getsuga Tensho, it was impossible to Ichigo Yhwach in his current state. Yhwach could easily defend himself with the Blut Vene.

Even if the Blut Vene couldn't completely block the damage, the minor injuries in exchange for Tsuna's severe injury were completely worthwhile in Tsuna's eyes, not to mention that Yhwach could heal him at any time.

So why did he step back?

He was afraid.

In Tsuna's heart, Byakuran provided the answer. Compared to Tsuna's all-out effort to deal with Yhwach's attack, Byakuran saw things much more clearly.

Although it was only for a moment, Byakuran still noticed that when the Getsuga Tensho flew over, a barely perceptible fear appeared in the eyes of those four strange pupils.

[Is he afraid of Ichigo? Are you kidding me?]

Tsuna found it hard to believe that Yhwach, who was currently toying with Ichigo, was actually afraid of Ichigo.

An image appeared in Tsuna's mind: Ichigo the Zangetsu Blade and cleaving Yhwach in two.

[What is this for? Didn't this already happen?]

Tsuna was puzzled. In his mind, he had already transformed into Ichigo Kurosaki and stabbed Yhwach. Why was Byakuran putting this image in front of him again?

"What if Yhwach saw this image of the future?" Byakuran laughed confidently, his voice brimming with self-assurance.

While Tsuna was searching for a way to defeat Yhwach, Byakuran wasn't just waiting idly; he was watching to see Yhwach's ultimate fate.

At first, Byakuran, like Tsuna, thought he had misjudged the situation. But after seeing Yhwach's subtle expression, he became certain that Yhwach had also seen this future.

Because Tsuna transformed into Ichigo and almost killed Yhwach, Yhwach's body is now instinctively afraid of Ichigo's attacks. No matter how well he hides it, he cannot change the fact that his body is afraid.

[Should I protect Ichigo now?]

As soon as Tsuna asked his question, he saw the future where Tensa Zangetsu was about to be crushed. Without thinking, Tsuna appeared in front of Ichigo with a Sonido, stacking lightning on the Sky, first nullifying Yhwach's ability, and then using lightning to block it.

Boom!!!

Tsuna and Ichigo were blasted away by Yhwach, but Ichigo caught Tsuna from behind, preventing them from falling out of Tsuna Karakura Town.

After regaining his footing Tsuna quickly used his Sun Attribute to heal his injuries. Ichigo was about to say something encouraging to Tsuna when Yhwach's attack caught up.

Spirit Bow and Arrows – Killing two birds with one stone!

Ichigo pulled Tsuna behind him. He couldn't see any future, but that didn't stop him from wanting to protect his comrades.

The power of Getsuga Tensho had just been released when Spirit Bow and Arrows pierced through Ichigo's chest, pinning him firmly to the ground in Karakura Town.

Yhwach walked towards Tsuna step by step. The moment he shot the arrow, he saw Ichigo shield. So this arrow would not take Ichigo's life, but only pin him to the ground. Yhwach still needed Ichigo to kill the Soul King.

"It's time to end all of this."

Yhwach ran his hand along the blade, and countless tiny arrows transformed into components of the blade. With extraordinary control, he added the sharpest edge to his Quincy Cross Crusader.

Having killed Sawada Tsunayoshi, Yhwach had lost interest in continuing the fight. In the countless futures he saw involving Tsuna, Tsuna had only one fate: to be completely shredded to pieces by his blade!

Sawada Tsunayoshi has no chance. Yhwach is certain that in his eyes, there is no future for Tsuna to become Ichigo Kurosaki!

"You saw it too, didn't you? That inescapable future!"

Yhwach grinned maliciously. In his eyes, Sawada Tsunayoshi standing there frozen meant he had given up the struggle, because Tsuna saw no possibility of survival. It was all over!

However, just as Yhwach's blade was about to strike Tsuna, his arrogant eyes failed to notice the slight upturn of Tsuna's lips.

"Getsuga Tensho!"

The familiar roar, accompanied by the sudden appearance of a black crescent moon, stunned Yhwach, who hesitated to bring his raised blade down.

That familiar spiritual pressure, that familiar tone—it's undoubtedly Ichigo Kurosaki. But wasn't Ichigo Kurosaki pinned to the ground by him?

When did Ichigo Kurosaki gain the ability to break free from his attacks?

Yhwach was puzzled, but he had no time to think about it; the black crescent moon had already struck Yhwach's face.

Once again, the fear within Yhwach took control of his body. Before the sword aimed at Tsuna could even fall, Yhwach retreated first.

Yhwach wasn't the only one shocked; Ichigo, pinned to the ground, was also stunned. He almost doubted whether he'd misheard. Who was that person wielding Getsuga Tensho? Could it be Tsuna transforming into his likeness again?

Of everyone present, only Tsuna understood what had happened. Rewinding to the moment Ichigo was Ichigo, Tsuna clearly saw Ichigo's actions, but he couldn't stop Ichigo from Ichigo in the future.

It was because, at that very moment, Tsuna was stopped by Byakuran.

[Finally connected, little guy, wait a minute!]

[Byakuran is too late, Ichigo is about to be hit by an arrow!]

[Don't panic, that orange-haired brat won't die. Now I'm going to tell you the true power of the Mare Flame.]

"[Isn't it possible to see the future?]" Tsuna, somewhat puzzled.

"[How can those trivial abilities be considered the ocean?] "Byakuran said seriously, "[Listen, I've figured out what this so-called the Almighty really means.]"

[The future that Yhwach envisions is a tree-like network of branches extending from himself as a fulcrum, and by changing the conditions at this fulcrum, the future can be altered.]

[This seemingly invincible power has a fatal flaw: The Almighty, it cannot interfere with parallel worlds!]

[The Mare is like the ocean, capable of traversing countless parallel universes. It was by acquiring the best technology and talent from various universes that I was able to unify all worlds.]

Tsuna didn't reveal that Byakuran was still missing one world to unify, and let Byakuran continue talking.

Do you know how my True Six-Wreath Flower is made?

After hearing Byakuran's words, Tsuna thought of the True Six Funeral Wreaths. Each of them was a disillusioned person from a different world. Byakuran took them in when they were at their lowest point, so the True Funeral Wreaths had the highest level of loyalty to Byakuran.

Tsuna immediately understood Byakuran's idea: [You mean, pull your teammates from different parallel worlds? Who?]

[That's the person Yhwach fears most! Go, little one, let's create new possibilities for the future!]

Rewind to the moment Yhwach was frightened away, and the person wielding Getsuga Tensho appears before everyone. The familiar long, black Shinigami Uniform, the swastika-shaped Zanpakuto —it's Ichigo Kurosaki?

Ichigo Kurosaki, now in his Bankai form, frowned as he surveyed his surroundings. He had just been using Tensa Zangetsu in battle when he suddenly found himself back in the World of the Living. Looking at the ruins, Ichigo's Bankai eyes showed confusion. Was this Karakura Town?

And then there's this guy who's so wary of him, Old Man Zangetsu? Wait! Who's this person? An enemy?

Just as Bankai was stunned by his Ichigo, a familiar voice rang out, "Kurosaki-kun! That person who looks like Old Man Zangetsu is the enemy!"

Looking in the direction of the sound, Orihime saw it was Orihime Inoue. Ichigo well enough that after receiving Orihime confirmation, Ichigo had no more hesitation and pointed his sword at Yhwach.

"I don't know what you're trying to do by transforming into Old Man Zangetsu, but Inoue- kun said you're the enemy!"

Yhwach ignored Bankai's Ichigo and looked at Tsuna. Among these people, only Tsuna could do such a thing: to have two Ichigo Kurosaki in the same world.

"Is this your tactic? You don't actually think that someone like Ichigo Kurosaki could threaten me, do you?"

Yhwach immediately saw through Ichigo's current state: a fledgling Bleach, only at the Bankai stage, posing no threat whatsoever to him.

"What are you talking about!" Ichigo, Yhwach Bankai he was being ignored, didn't hold back and immediately unleashed a Getsuga Tensho.

Yhwach calmly raised his hand, preparing to easily catch the Getsuga Tensho. At that very moment, he heard a monstrous roar. The instant his hand touched the Getsuga Tensho, a tearing pain suddenly appeared, forcing Yhwach to take a half step back.

What's going on? Yhwach's pupils contracted as he saw another Ichigo Kurosaki, dressed in the same Bankai outfit, only this time wearing a half- Visored.

"When did I ever tell you that I could only bring in one Ichigo Kurosaki?"

A rainbow of light streaked across the air, and two more strange spaces were torn open, from which two more Ichigo Kurosaki emerged. One carried only a Zangetsu Blade on his back, while the other wore a pure white bone armor.

Ichigo: Zangetsu, Ichigo: Bankai, Ichigo: Half-face, Ichigo Fullbring.

Yhwach's face finally showed a solemn expression. In the blink of an eye, Sawada Tsunayoshi pulled out four Ichigo Kurosaki, making a total of five Ichigo Kurosaki, including those from this world.

Most importantly, Yhwach's the Almighty eyes failed to see Ichigo Kurosaki Yhwach appear, and a cold sweat soaked his back.

Tsuna looked at Yhwach with a meaningful smile. "Aren't you afraid of Ichigo's slashes? I wonder if these Ichigo can manage to cut you?"
