[At this critical moment, the female members of the Sternritter began their merciless slaughter of the Shinigami!
A massive building suddenly fell from the sky, crushing an entire group of Shinigami beneath its enormous weight.
The one effortlessly holding up this colossal structure was actually an extremely petite girl who looked almost childlike in stature.
She was "P" Meninas McAllon - "The Power!"
The other Shinigami all faced this overwhelming threat with growing dread, realizing that Quincy with powerful Schrift abilities were beginning to appear on the battlefield!
Some Shinigami attempted to attack what appeared to be a black-haired girl with an androgynous appearance.
However, this individual seemed to deliberately allow themselves to be cut directly by their attacks.
Blood spurted out in a very strange and unnatural way as the wounds opened.
"You touched my blood? Then you have no choice but to obey me and become my zombies. All of you should commit seppuku immediately!"
At this commanding declaration, all the Shinigami who had come into contact with the blood began mechanically slicing their own abdomens with their Zanpakuto.
Swish, swish, swish!
They all cut themselves down without any resistance to the compulsion.
This was "Z" Giselle Gewelle - "The Zombie!"
Anyone touched by her blood would become mindless undead under her complete control.
The four-woman group immediately surrounded the fallen Zaraki Kenpachi, beginning to discuss among themselves who deserved to deliver the final blow to such a legendary opponent.
After all, this was directly related to how they would divide the credit for such a significant victory.
Zaraki Kenpachi lay motionless on the ground, seeming to realize that he was completely powerless in his current condition!
After all, he had expended far too much energy and spiritual pressure in his previous battle against Gremmy!
So even though he was facing opponents he could normally cut down easily under normal circumstances, he found himself utterly helpless at this moment.
Even if he reluctantly attempted to use his Bankai to increase his combat strength, he simply couldn't recover from his extensive injuries quickly enough.
The scene before them filled the Shinigami with deep humiliation!
Such a powerful captain as Zaraki was actually being defeated by these opportunistic scavengers who were simply picking up the spoils?
It seemed that only Kurosaki Ichigo could possibly save him now!
Sure enough, just as everyone expected, there was a tremendous roar from the sky above, and Kurosaki Ichigo made his spectacular entrance.
BUZZ!
A terrifying wave of spiritual pressure descended directly from the heavens above the Wandenreich, forcing every Quincy throughout the entire invisible empire to feel this incredibly overwhelming power!
Like a massive spiritual hammer, many of the weaker individuals couldn't help but drop to their knees under the immense pressure.
The Quincy were all shocked into solemn silence!
At this moment, after sensing Kurosaki Ichigo's distinctive spiritual pressure, Rukia Kuchiki and the other Shinigami were filled with overwhelming joy!
To them, Kurosaki Ichigo appeared like a genuine savior - just like when he had defeated Aizen in their previous crisis!
He could truly be called the core figure among all Shinigami!
Not officially a leader, but somehow better than any leader!
The Shinigami, who had been exhausted and demoralized by the Quincy assault, began cheering with renewed vigor and found their strength returning!
WHOOSH!
Under Kurosaki Ichigo's rapid descent, buildings along his path were instantly destroyed by the sheer force of his movement.
At this moment, the members of the female Sternritter group were all prepared for battle!
However, before they could properly react to his arrival, the building in front of them had already been demolished, and Kurosaki Ichigo had appeared directly behind their formation.
BANG!
His speed was simply incredible - completely beyond their comprehension of what velocity was possible.
The members of the girl group were horrified and quickly attempted to distance themselves from Kurosaki Ichigo's position.
At this moment, their faces turned pale as paper, filled with genuine terror.
Kurosaki Ichigo spoke casually, as if no one else was present:
"Ow, that stings a little because I was too eager and used excessive force in my landing..."
Then Ichigo approached the fallen Zaraki Kenpachi and asked with obvious concern:
"Oh, Kenpachi, you look absolutely terrible... Are you going to be okay?"
Zaraki Kenpachi responded in a low, weakened voice, clearly on the verge of unconsciousness:
"What are you doing here?"
Kurosaki Ichigo smiled with brilliant confidence.
"Kenpachi, I'm here to save you!"
Kurosaki Ichigo's provocative expression clearly conveyed his thoughts:
Oh, isn't this the great Kenpachi? How did you become so pathetic after not seeing you for just a few days?
This reminded Zaraki Kenpachi of the time when he had saved Kurosaki Ichigo in Hueco Mundo during their previous adventures!
How dramatically things had changed!
Kurosaki Ichigo was still the vengeful type who remembered past favors and debts.
Of course, only people with such a strong bond of friendship would tease each other like this during serious moments.
Zaraki Kenpachi managed a bitter smile and said weakly:
"I never imagined there would come a day when you'd be the one helping me..."
"But you should worry more about yourself than about me..."
At this moment, before Ichigo could exchange more words with Kenpachi, Thunder Girl Candice quickly rushed toward Kurosaki Ichigo while surrounded by crackling lightning.
Zap, zap, zap...
However, facing such a supposedly powerful technique, Ichigo burst forth with speed faster than lightning itself, grabbed Candice's attacking hand, and threw her directly away from him.
BANG!
Candice hit the ground with tremendous force!
The impact created a shocking sound that echoed across the battlefield!
Spider-web-like cracks spread instantly across the ground beneath her, creating an impressive crater!
Kurosaki Ichigo hadn't even drawn his Zanpakuto!
He had simply used his raw physical capabilities to defeat "T" Candice in an instant!
Several other members of the girl group immediately rushed toward Kurosaki Ichigo in coordinated assault.
"P" Meninas attempted to overwhelm Ichigo with pure brute force.
"G" Liltotto actually tried to devour Kurosaki Ichigo with her massive, distorted mouth...
But none of them could cause any meaningful damage to Kurosaki Ichigo, and he easily defeated them all in seconds.
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Kurosaki Ichigo effortlessly knocked all four of them away with devastating force!
Just like Aizen in his prime, he didn't need any fancy techniques - just overwhelming spiritual pressure and physical superiority.
Seeing this incredible display, the defeated Sternritter discussed their situation with serious, worried expressions.
"How is this even possible? Why don't any of our abilities work against him?"
"Are we being too careless in our approach?"
"No, it's not carelessness at all - this is simply the true power of Kurosaki Ichigo, designated as Special War Potential."
The reason they had possessed any courage to fight Kurosaki Ichigo initially was probably because the gap between his power and theirs was already countless dimensions higher!
In addition, Kurosaki Ichigo had reached a level of complete mastery where his strength appeared deceptively natural.
They might not even be capable of properly sensing Kurosaki Ichigo's spiritual pressure at all!]
Seeing this spectacular scene, all the Shinigami erupted in celebration!
[Hitsugaya Toshiro]: Haha, so incredible! Kurosaki Ichigo finally got revenge for all of us!
[Zaraki Kenpachi]: I never expected that you would be the one coming to save me this time. Hmph, but I'll remember this debt. Next time I get the chance, it'll be my turn to save you!
[Rukia Kuchiki]: Ichigo's wearing a new outfit - he looks much more handsome than before!
[Hirako Shinji]: Indeed, Kurosaki Ichigo has the most costume changes of anyone... He's really become quite the fashion icon.
[Kyoraku Shunsui]: These four Quincy must be extraordinary fighters. They're at least Schrift-level Quincy, yet Ichigo defeated them all in a single encounter.
[Rukia Kuchiki]: This scene reminds me of when Ichigo saved me! Back then he defeated three vice-captains in one decisive battle.
At this moment, all the Shinigami were absolutely jubilant!
Previously, when Shinigami faced Quincy opponents, the battles were almost always horrific struggles.
Even when they managed to win, it came at terrible cost with pyrrhic victories.
How could any of them compare to Ichigo Kurosaki eliminating four powerful Quincy in a single engagement?
As long as Kurosaki Ichigo was present, they had the confidence and courage to defeat any enemy!
Ichigo no longer needed the Gotei 13 to protect him like during his confrontation with Aizen...
Instead, he had become the one protecting the Gotei 13 and all of Soul Society!
[Liltotto Lamperd]: No way! Is Kurosaki Ichigo really this overwhelmingly strong? It's one thing that he defeated me instantly, but he was just using his bare hands...
[Gerard Valkyrie]: It seems he's become significantly stronger after properly training with his new Zanpakuto. We must take him seriously as a threat.
[Urahara Kisuke]: Here's a joke - challenging Ichigo to single combat?
[Shihouin Yoruichi]: Anyone who fought Ichigo one-on-one, the grass on their graves is already dozens of meters high!
[Yhwach]: Not bad, Kurosaki Ichigo, I'm quite satisfied with your growth and development. However, I will not easily forgive you for beating my subordinates. I must correct your misguided thinking.
In the projection, Kurosaki Ichigo continued his overwhelming assault.
Candice, who had just been knocked away, was extremely upset. She spent considerable time every day perfecting her hairstyle, but it had been completely ruined by Kurosaki Ichigo's attack!
This was simply unforgivable!
The irritable Thunder Girl drew her spiritual bow and fired a lightning arrow with tremendous force.
"Galvano Blast!"
BOOM!
Under its devastating attack, the air itself crackled and emitted a burning smell from the electrical discharge.
This was a lightning arrow containing electrical power of five billion joules!
Ordinary enemies would be reduced to ash under such an attack!
However, facing this incredibly powerful assault, Ichigo easily blocked it with his body alone - the attack couldn't even break through his spiritual pressure defense!
After the smoke cleared, Kurosaki Ichigo's handsome figure appeared once again, and he spoke to his enemies with surprising gentleness:
"I originally thought that since you were all women, I couldn't go all out against you. Now it seems I was worrying unnecessarily!"
He was still the gentle Kurosaki Ichigo - even when facing female enemies in battle, he maintained his considerate nature.
The four women realized they could no longer afford to be arrogant when confronting Kurosaki Ichigo.
They all unleashed their full abilities and began firing sacred arrows together in coordinated assault.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Four dazzling blue spiritual arrows locked onto Kurosaki Ichigo's position!
But even their combined techniques were easily neutralized by Kurosaki Ichigo.
With just a casual swing of his blade!
BOOM!
All members of the girl group were repelled simultaneously!
At this moment, Candice flew into a rage and quickly activated her Vollständig regardless of the consequences of exhausting her physical strength.
She began fighting Ichigo with desperate determination.
After activating this transformation, three pairs of lightning-shaped wings sprouted from her back!
During her flight toward Kurosaki Ichigo, she could even detach her wings and wield them as bladed weapons.
As someone who used dual swords himself, Ichigo was genuinely interested in this technique!
"Those are actually twin blades? The same as mine - let me see how powerful you really are!"
Candice responded indignantly:
"Are you an idiot? I have six swords!"
She swung two electrical blades simultaneously, while the four wing-mounted swords also attacked Kurosaki Ichigo at the same time.
Swish, swish, swish!
But even facing such a complex multi-directional assault, Ichigo didn't seem concerned at all! He simply treated this Candice as a sparring partner for sword practice.
He swung his black short sword Zangetsu and released a dark Getsuga Tensho that completely offset all her attacks.
Seeing this display, everyone marveled at the power flowing within Ichigo Kurosaki's body!
[Byakuya Kuchiki]: His shorter Zangetsu should derive from the Quincy power embodied by that Yhwach figure! That's why he can directly neutralize Quincy abilities.
[Rukia Kuchiki]: He's definitely incredibly strong! With so many different powers mixed together now, he's definitely not something any single race could fight against!
[Madarame Ikkaku]: This woman really has no sense! She wants to fight Kurosaki Ichigo despite the enormous gap in their abilities.
In the scene, the angry and humiliated Candice directly employed her strongest technique.
Candice brought the five fingers of her right hand together and raised them high above her head!
Powerful lightning condensed instantly around her raised hand!
She used a hand-blade formation to strike downward toward Kurosaki Ichigo's position!
Crackling!
A large-scale thunderstorm formed instantaneously, causing devastating damage to everything along its path.
"Electrocution!"
Faced with such a terrifying display of lightning power, Kurosaki Ichigo crossed his two Zangetsu blades and used Getsuga Tensho simultaneously, creating an unprecedented combined technique.
"Getsuga Jujisho!"
BOOM!
A horizontal and vertical crescent-shaped energy blast appeared simultaneously.
Golden spiritual pressure shot straight into the sky!
Golden light flashed brilliantly across the battlefield!
The crescent-shaped cross attack roared forward, seeming to devour everything in its path!
There were no fancy techniques involved - this was still the fighting method that Kurosaki Ichigo was most comfortable with!
Using crushing high-concentration spiritual pressure to completely overwhelm his opponent!
The violent vibration of the air made everyone present suddenly change their expressions in shock!
Is this the spiritual pressure of Ichigo's Shikai release?
The audience watching the Three Realms Projection also held their breath and concentrated, not daring to be careless.
If the Three Realms Projection system couldn't withstand the power of this technique again, they would need to burst forth with their own spiritual pressure to resist any energy leaking out from the screen!
