Orihime Inoue Instantly Kills Yhwach

Yhwach's dark Spiritual Pressure erupted, causing the white jade floor tiles of the Soul King Palace to crack inch by inch, and the space itself to continuously crumble.

Countless threads appeared in the void, connecting the Soul King Palace, which was now collapsing and disintegrating at a visible speed.

Following that, Douluo Star, Divine Throne Star, Pegasus Galaxy...

The entire star field began to tremble, emitting a low hum, as if the world was lamenting.

Even without the Sky Curtain explaining, everyone watching Sky Curtain at this moment could guess what was going on.

These threads are the tools the Soul King uses to maintain stability in this star field.

Now that these threads have been destroyed by Yhwach, and without these stabilizers, this star system is slowly heading towards destruction.

"It's over."

Yhwach looked at everyone indifferently, then raised his hand and waved it at Ichigo Kurosaki.

Bang!

The dullest, most depressing blow suddenly exploded with a loud bang.

Ichigo Kurosaki was instantly struck in the chest by an invisible force, and his entire body flew backward like a meteor.

"Ichigo!" Orihime Inoue exclaimed in shock.

The next moment, Orihime Inoue, Hinata, and Aizen were simultaneously subjected to a series of inexplicable attacks, and were sent flying backward, their bodies instantly riddled with large and small blood holes.

Aizen had a huge wound on his chest. He kept urging the power of the Hōgyoku to repair it, but the black Spiritual Pressure Entanglement around the wound suppressed the power of the Hōgyoku.

"A laughable, illusory evolution." Yhwach glanced at it indifferently.

"The so-called evolution is nothing more than gaining a sliver of the Soul King's power!"

In the blink of an eye, the three of them lost their Moon Fang Heaven-Piercer.

Unlike before, this time the black Spiritual Pressure raged within them, suppressing their recovery and mobility.

Yhwach!

"The Remnant Flame Katana - North - Heaven and Earth Ashes!"

A massive, fiery red slash came from afar, Yhwach turned to look at Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto towards him.

Clearly, Yamamoto won the Moon Fang Heaven-Piercer between Yamamoto and Gerard.

"Yamamoto!"

Reach out and shake hands.

The massive, fiery red slash vanished, and Captain-Commander Yamamoto's body was torn into several pieces by an invisible force.

"Boring!"

He watched as his former rival died instantly.

Beyond the Sky Curtain, the entire Douluo Continent lay deathly silent. Was this Yhwach empowered by the Soul King? There were no flashy moves, only pure, overwhelming superiority, leaving one with an endless sense of despair.

Yhwach looked at Ichigo Kurosaki, his gaze falling on the girl lying on top of Ichigo, her body riddled with more than a dozen bloody holes of varying sizes, and trembling constantly.

"It's over!"

Upon hearing the sound, Orihime Inoue turned to look at Yhwach.

The long-suppressed feelings of helplessness and despair finally erupted at this moment.

"It's happening again... it's happening again!" Orihime choked back sobs, her voice filled with utter helplessness and revealing an aura of utter despair.

"Why? Why do you always rush to the front, shielding me from all danger?"

"I can only watch... I can only watch you struggle forever! There's nothing I can do!"

"I'm too weak... so weak that I can only be protected, so weak that I can't even save the people I want to protect!"

Endless self-denial and despair consumed Orihime Inoue's mind.

She gently stroked Ichigo Kurosaki's face with her right hand.

I want to protect you too!

I also want great power!

As soon as she finished speaking, she endured the excruciating pain all over her body, stood up, and took a difficult step toward Yhwach.

Click...!

The already broken body could no longer bear the strain, the wounds tore open further, and blood gushed out.

Her body went limp, and she fell heavily onto the cracked white jade floor tiles.

"Cough cough...!"

Amidst everyone's shocked gazes, Orihime Inoue coughed up several mouthfuls of blood in the Sky Curtain, then, supporting herself with her bleeding hands, crawled step by step with great difficulty toward Yhwach.

A glaring trail of blood was left on the ground.

"I refuse... I refuse...!"

As she crawled, she used the last of her strength to shout in a low voice.

"If... if my power... if my power could be... more powerful...!"

"Hua Wu Ju!"

"Mei Yan!"

"Lily!"

"Shun'ō!"

"Kokushō!"

"Tsubaki!"

This was the first time she had called out Shun Shun Rikka's name in its entirety.

The next instant, her hair, which was styled into a six-petaled flower bun, began to split, transforming into Six Paths regular, blood-red threads that rapidly danced, swirled, and intertwined around her body.

At the same time, Orihime Inoue finally had the strength to stand up.

Sensing the danger, Yhwach saw numerous eyes emerge from the overwhelming black Spiritual Pressure behind him.

One after another, jet-black beams of destructive light pierced through the air, attempting to obliterate Orihime Inoue!

Upon witnessing this scene, many emotional people in front of the Sky Curtain shielded their eyes with their hands.

I couldn't bear to see Orihime Inoue be reduced to ashes.

However, all the beams of destruction that came hurtling through the air were silently neutralized and annihilated the moment they touched the Six Paths crimson threads, without even touching the Kakuzu of Orihime Inoue's clothes!

Orihime Inoue seemed oblivious to the attack, continuing to mutter to herself:

Why is my strength so weak!

"If only my power could be greater, much greater!"

"So powerful it's incomparable, so powerful even my body can't contain it."

"Then I can embrace the world, and make war, pain, and suffering disappear without a trace."

At that moment, her eyes were no longer hesitant or confused.

It became incredibly simple.

"Therefore—I refuse!"

"I refuse to be weak! I refuse to be powerless!"

At that moment, Orihime Inoue's ability ' Santen Kesshun ' activated.

Boom...!

An unparalleled Spiritual Pressure was released from Orihime Inoue's body, so powerful that even Yhwach could not match it.

Orihime Inoue's injuries vanished instantly, and golden light enveloped her body. Her gentle brown eyes transformed into two burning golden suns, and her gaze was no longer filled with confusion, but with absolute tranquility.

Her long hair moved without wind, each strand composed of pure light, with crimson threads connecting the ends, making her appear like a goddess descended to earth, sacred and inviolable.

She simply stood there, and the space around her began to distort.

It wasn't that she was being squeezed by force, but rather that space itself was "refusing" to contain her enormous existence, actively twisting and folding, trying to isolate her from this world.

"Do you reject your own weakness in order to gain immense power?"

For the first time, Yhwach truly felt a deadly crisis, and his indifferent tone finally became tinged with emotion.

"Orihime Inoue, are you willing to risk your life?"

"You have always been within my vision of the future. Your strength, your struggles, your obsessions—all are under my control. Don't engage in meaningless resistance."

Ichigo Kurosaki, supporting his broken body, stared blankly at the resolute girl before him, and roared with all his might:

"Orihime! Stop!"

Upon hearing the sound, Orihime Inoue slowly turned her head.

In her tear-filled eyes, there was no fear, no regret, only tenderness and relief.

Looking at the anxious boy, she smiled brightly.

"Kurosaki-kun... you've always been the one protecting me."

This time, it's my turn to protect you.

"Bye now."

As soon as she finished speaking, a burst of brilliant golden light erupted from her body, and she transformed into a streak of light, rushing towards Yhwach.

"Therefore, I refuse!"

I refuse your existence!

Boom----!!!

The next instant, Orihime Inoue's dazzling golden light collided with Yhwach's dense black Spiritual Pressure.

The blinding light instantly swallowed the darkness. Everyone on the battlefield of the Soul King Palace, as well as the billions of beings gazing before the Sky Curtain, were blinded by the dazzling light and instinctively closed their eyes.

As the light faded and the smoke cleared, the center of the battlefield was empty.

Yhwach and Orihime Inoue vanished completely.

Before the Sky Curtain, everyone was utterly stunned by this tragic yet thrilling scene.

No one could have imagined that the one who would ultimately defeat Yhwach would be that seemingly the most delicate girl.

The next moment, countless people began to discuss it.

"Holy crap, what kind of supernatural ability is this? What does it mean that I reject my weak self, so I will become very strong?"

"If this ability were to reject my weaker self even a little bit, wouldn't it be like stepping on my own foot and ascending to heaven on the spot?"

"Isn't this ability what girls often call 'ignoring the facts'?"

"If girls really have this ability, what use would I have for my little brother?"

"Yhwach's the Almighty allow him to see and change the future, Orihime Inoue's ability is to change the present. Is there anyone whose ability can alter the past?"

"The past can be altered? And if it is, will our memories change after it's been altered?"

"Um, I don't know. If I had that ability, I would change the past and marry the person I want."

Aren't you afraid your wife will beat you to death?

Do you think Yhwach is really dead?
