The snapped True Tensa Zangetsu
Even though the blade hadn't touched him, the wound on his shoulder suddenly ripped open.
"A delayed slash?" Yhwach raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. "The damage from the slash is delayed? Interesting."
Before he could regain his footing, the surrounding blood mist surged, and identical figures emerged from the mist.
In the blink of an eye, thousands of Ichigo Kurosaki.
Dozens of Blood-Locked Ichigo simultaneously gripped their swords and surrounded the enemy from all directions.
These clones are not illusions, but physical clones formed from Spiritual Pressure.
"Multiple Clones?"
Yhwach raised his hand, conjuring Reishi light blade, and cleaved Ichigo, who was charging at him head-on, in Ichigo.
The shattered figure turned into black mist and dissipated, but another clone above its head had already leaped down from the air, Zangetsu, wrapped in blood-red chains, slashed down fiercely.
Clang!
With a crisp sound, the Reishi blade shattered.
Yhwach's expression darkened slightly.
"What's going on? Could each of them be the original body?"
"Is that so?!"
Black Spiritual Pressure surged from his palm, and countless compressed Reishi beams poured out like rain, tracking each clone.
No matter how many forms I manifest, I can see the entire future and eliminate anything that could harm me!
A barrage of beams swept across the sky, annihilating numerous clones that vanished into a bloody mist.
Ichigo, using the blood mist as cover, closed in again, his crimson spiritual chains extending and lengthening like whips to bind Yhwach's limbs.
The moment the chains Entanglement, he Zangetsu high, gathering all his ethereal and Soul Reaper power into the blade.
"Getsuga Tenshō!"
A massive, jet-black blade, imbued with the power of a crimson blood lock, traversed the void.
The giant crescent moon slammed into Yhwach's front.
Boom...!
The shockwave swept across the entire ruins of the Soul King Palace, sending rubble and Reishi debris flying everywhere.
Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, Yhwach stood unharmed in the same spot.
A burst of black Spiritual Pressure erupted, instantly Entanglement the crimson chains binding Yhwach into dust.
With a wave of his hand, Ichigo was sent flying.
"Not bad power. But that alone is not enough to overturn the future I have chosen."
Seeing Ichigo regain his footing, Yhwach raised his hand and conjured the Great Holy Bow, locking onto Ichigo with a jet-black Reishi arrow.
"From the moment of birth, the soul of all life is destined to belong to me."
"Ichigo Kurosaki, you're the same!"
Call out...!
The black Reishi arrow hurtled Ichigo like a falling meteor.
Ichigo tried to dodge to the side, but the surrounding Reishi suddenly solidified, locking him in place. He could only swing his sword, unleashing a crimson Getsuga Tenshō to meet the arrow.
Boom!
Two energies are locked in a struggle in mid-air.
Moments later, the black Reishi arrow tore through the blood-red slash, instantly engulfing Ichigo Kurosaki completely.
When the smoke cleared, only Ichigo, covered in wounds and collapsed on the ground, Ichigo.
"Ichigo Kurosaki, is that all you've got?"
Hearing Yhwach's sarcastic remarks, Ichigo gritted his teeth and slowly stood up, his body ravaged by injuries.
"Zangetsu Uncle, lend me your power?"
A phantom figure emerged from Ichigo, bearing a striking resemblance to Yhwach —it was Zangetsu Uncle.
"Ichigo, I see your determination. So, use my power to your heart's content!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the phantom slowly dissipated, transforming into the purest Quincy power, which flowed into Ichigo's body.
This also signifies that Zangetsu Uncle's personality has now completely vanished into nothingness.
At this moment, the three powers within Ichigo — Soul Reaper, Hollow, Quincy— finally merged and became one.
Buzz--!
The crimson chains Entanglement Ichigo shattered with a Ichigo roar.
The ethereal horn on its head slowly faded away, and the semi-ethereal outer shell peeled away layer by layer.
The Blood-Locked Zangetsu Blade was split and reforged amidst the surging torrent of Reishi.
In the blink of an eye, two brand-new Zanpakutō appeared in Ichigo's hands.
His right hand grips a broad, long sword, carrying the power of the Soul Reaper and White; his left hand holds a short sword, imbued with the primal power of the Quincy.
Looking at Ichigo in his completely new form.
Before the Sky Curtain, countless people watching this great battle whispered among themselves.
Some people rekindled their hope, holding their breath and staring at the Sky Curtain.
However, pessimism still lingers in the hearts of the vast majority of people.
Yhwach is just too strong, his abilities are too abnormal.
Ichigo opened his eyes and looked at his complete Shikai form.
"This is... the complete me."
He looked up, his gaze fixed firmly on Yhwach.
Yhwach!
"Getsuga Jūjishō"
Ichigo shouted in a deep voice, slightly raising his long and short swords, and an unprecedentedly powerful Spiritual Pressure swept in all directions.
Two crescent-shaped slashes erupted simultaneously from the twin blades, converging in mid-air to transform into a cross-shaped slash that stretched across the heavens and earth.
The strikes were so powerful they blotted out the sky and the sun.
This time, Yhwach did not choose to take the hit head-on. Instead, he flashed away and instantly retreated hundreds of feet away.
The massive cross-shaped slash crashed down onto the ground of the Soul King Palace.
This ancient palace, where every single tile was as hard as Douluo Super Divine Artifact, began to annihilate and melt under the attack.
In the blink of an eye, half of the Soul King Palace, which had a diameter of over a hundred kilometers, disappeared.
Without Ichigo, Ichigo flashed forward, unleashing a flurry of sword strikes.
Blades flashed and crisscrossed, attacks piled up in layers, and a fierce tug-of-war ensued between Yhwach.
The long and short swords continuously blocked Yhwach's movement, forcing him to constantly defend and retreat with each strike.
In an instant, Ichigo, whose Spiritual Pressure, speed, strength, and perception had all reached a new level, managed to suppress Yhwach's offensive.
Upon seeing this, everyone in front of the Sky Curtain erupted in cheers, with shouts of excitement rising and falling.
Boom...!
Another massive slash sent Yhwach flying.
However, the next moment, with Yhwach's the Almighty activated, this attacked timeline was deleted.
Instead, Ichigo was struck in the abdomen by Yhwach's sword.
"Hateful!"
Although his Spiritual Pressure is currently higher than Yhwach's, he will undoubtedly be defeated if Yhwach possesses the Almighty.
Ichigo's eyes narrowed, and he no longer held back.
"The Bankai - the true Tensa Zangetsu!"
The Spiritual Pressure exploded from his body, and the powers of Soul Reaper, Hollow, Quincy frantically compressed and converged inward.
The two swords, one long and one short, interlocked and joined together in the torrent of Reishi, transforming into a single large sword interwoven with black and white.
The swastika-shaped black handguard was completed, and a thick, jet-black chain hung down from the bottom of the hilt, trembling slightly.
Ichigo's Shihakushō underwent a simultaneous transformation, with the hem lengthening, the edges turning into jagged teeth, and the inner lining revealing a crimson lining.
The Spiritual Pressure flowing around him no longer scattered wildly, but was all concentrated within the blade and his body.
In that instant, Ichigo's Spiritual Pressure reached an unprecedented level.
The entire space where the Soul King Palace was located trembled slightly under the Spiritual Pressure he exuded.
This is his true Bankai under the power of the Trinity.
"This is!"
Upon witnessing this scene, Yhwach instantly sensed an unprecedented crisis.
"Auswählen!"
The Auswählen was activated instantly.
Unlike the previous Quincy only devoured a portion of this star field Auswählen was different.
This time, Yhwach intends to reclaim all the souls and Reishi of the Quincy, except for a very small number that cannot be reclaimed.
In an instant, golden pillars of light appeared on countless planets in this star field.
Douluo Divine Realm!
Suddenly, numerous golden beams of light appeared in the sky and enveloped the Quincy were engaged in fierce battle with the Thirteen Court Guard Squads and the Espada in the Douluo Divine Realm.
The Quincy hit by the beam of light had their soul and Reishi instantly drained, turning them into shriveled, dried-up corpses in the blink of an eye.
Even if they weren't directly enveloped by the beam of light, their Reishi was rapidly dissipating, and their power was continuously declining.
The instant Bankai completed his Ichigo.
Bang--!
A piercing sound of metal snapping rang out.
Ichigo looked up sharply at the sound, and the broken Tensa Zangetsu came into view.
What's going on?
