It's Time to Say Goodbye
"Damn Adonais!"
The King of Hell's unwilling roars echoed continuously; he knew that the Soul King would never simply hide behind Sawada Tsunayoshi and the others and do nothing.
He was careless; his attention was completely drawn to these suddenly appearing strangers, causing him to completely miss Adonais's movements.
But there's no going back for the King of Hell. The Soul King has held out until now, and even if it means sacrificing the seal of his origin, his final strike will be fatal.
The King of Hell had absolutely no chance of escape and could only watch helplessly as the fiery lion, spiraling flames, shattering black hole, orange fireball, blue arrow, Red Moon, and pitch-black arrow all rained down on him.
Two different people, yet four powers from the same source, erupted together. The four different spiritual pressures of Bleach, Quincy, Hollow, and Fullbring were like a meat grinder, pulverizing the King of Hell into dust.
Then, the high-temperature flames from the explosion instantly vaporized it, completely annihilating this troublesome King of Hell.
The sky above Hell was opened, and the sunlight of the World of the Living shone into this dark red world, bringing a long-lost sense of warmth.
Tsuna and Ichigo were panting heavily. With only their human power remaining in their bodies, they had burned out every last bit of their spiritual pressure in their final moments. A strong sense of emptiness kept surging into their hearts. At this moment, all they wanted to do was collapse and sleep soundly.
But they couldn't do that, because those around them were turning into specks of white Reishi light.
The Decimo, Byakuran, Kuri Enma, Zangetsu, and Old Man Zangetsu —they all used up all their power. Just as the Decimo had said before, having burned everything, it was time for them to say goodbye.
Ichigo kept his eyes wide open, letting tears stream down his face without blinking, afraid that if he blinked even once, his two best friends would disappear.
"Seriously, what kind of behavior is this!" Zangetsu pouted somewhat embarrassedly. "Ichigo, you should be happy! Did you see my final Getsuga Tensho? Wasn't it cool!"
"So cool!" Ichigo choked out, unable to utter a complete sentence; two words were his limit at that moment.
"Ichigo, live well, take care of yourself, and take care of your family."
Like a gentle elder, Old Man Zangetsu was the first to awaken from Ichigo's body and knew very well what Ichigo cared about.
"Uh-huh!!"
Ichigo could only nod repeatedly. He wanted to say he was reluctant to part with them, but he couldn't bring himself to say it. Having experienced countless battles, he knew that Zangetsu and the others were in an irreversible state.
He could only keep wiping away his tears, forcing an awkward smile, so that Zangetsu and Old Man Zangetsu would remember him in his final moments as his best self.
What he didn't know was that the harder he tried to laugh, the uglier his laugh became, even making Zangetsu and the other person laugh.
As for Tsuna, the Decimo and the others didn't leave him any instructions, they just looked at him with faint smiles. Tsuna smiled back. He had a lot to say, but time was too short.
When he first transmigrated to this world, he was a complete stranger and didn't fit in at all. Without the help of the Decimo and Byakuran, Tsuna felt that he might have just drifted through life aimlessly.
Tsuna believes that it was thanks to the guidance of these two experienced family leaders that he was able to grow so quickly and not waste the talent he copied from Ichigo.
Although Kuri Enma awakened later, his existence did indeed provide Tsuna with a lot of help, and he couldn't bear to part with any of the people here.
