Early in the morning on August 4th, after a night's rest, Kurosaki Ichigo started taking action again!
This powerful recovery power made Hanataro call it "a miracle of return".
After getting Hanataro's information, Ichigo also knew Rukia's location...
However, as soon as he arrived at the Confession Palace, Ichigo met his true rival - Zaraki Kenpachi!
Even though Zaraki Kenpachi's strength is actually greatly reduced due to "self-restriction", or even less than one out of ten, he still crushes the current Ichigo - or in other words, his instinct is to use his spiritual pressure to liberate To the point where it is slightly stronger than the enemy's "estimated upper limit".
Especially when Ichigo felt that Sadatari's spiritual pressure had disappeared, he became even more uneasy. Then, while distracted, he was slashed twice by the unhappy Kenpachi.
Even if Ichigo adjusted his mentality later, his slashing attack... was only to the extent that it could break Kenpachi's defense if he didn't dodge and was completely hit!
Then he was easily pierced by Zaraki Kenpachi, who looked like a tattered Zanpakutō, through the seemingly huge [Tianxing]...
At this moment, in Ichigo's inner world...
The man whom Ichigo calls "Uncle Tianxing" is watching this scene in the inner world with a solemn expression.
At the same time, a huge "hollow" mask emerged in a translucent form in the sky of the inner world - if Ichigo saw it, he would find that the basic lines of this mask were consistent with " "For no reason" the one that appeared on my body overlapped, but it was much more complicated from the lines to the outline...
"It seems that I, Ichigo's real Zanpakutō, must take action! Jie Jie Jie..." The mask that symbolized Hollow made a strange sound.
"You guys don't have the power of a Zanpakutō, right? You can tell at a glance..." Uncle Tianxing said without raising his head.
"Oh? Could it be that I, who have been completely integrated with Ichigo's Shinigami power, cannot represent his Zanpakuto? And you, who have been suppressing his Shinigami power, have only allowed him to exert little, pitiful fragments of power. Can this guy call himself [Tianxing]?"
Obviously, this "mask"...or in other words, this "special spirit body born after the fusion of Hollow power and Ichigo's Death power", clearly knows what "Uncle Tianxing" is doing!
In essence, whether it is the "Mask of Hollow" or "Uncle Tianxing", it is Ichigo's power...
They just represent the "power of the void" and the "power of the Quincy" respectively, these two completely opposite powers!
This "Power of the Quincy" is very pure, even... so pure that it is on the same level as the "Forefather of the Quincy". For this reason, even his physical appearance is similar to that of the Forefather of the Quincy, not Ichigo's. appearance.
at the same time……
The incarnation of "the power of the Quincy", for some purpose, has been suppressing the extremely powerful "power of death" in Ichigo's body, and once wanted to purify the "power of the void", so... Ichigo " The fusion of the "Power of the Void" and the "Power of Death" resulted in the current "Void Star", which is the incarnation of the virtual mask in the sky.
However, although it still exists, the power... is completely suppressed by the incarnation of the "Power of the Quincy", with only scattered fragments outside!
This gave Ichigo an extraordinary inspiration, and with the help of Urahara, he used these power fragments to form the current Zanpakutō - [Tianxing]!
"Jie Jie Jie... After all, the name [Tianxing] should really belong to me, right? After all, I have completely integrated with the power of Death!" Xu Tianxing mocked at this time.
Regarding the ridicule of "Xu Tianxing", "Uncle Tianxing" did not say a word.
After a long while, Uncle Tianxing said: "So, what do you want to do? You should know that no matter what... I will not let you out."
"Oh? Really? Why? In the final analysis... you are just the incarnation of Ichigo's [Power of the Quincy], just a little purer, so you really regard yourself as the Quincy's. The founder himself? Are you acting too much? Are you still pretending to be the incarnation of [Celestial Star]? If he is the true founder of the Quincy, give me some self-esteem as the founder of the Quincy! Jiejiejie..." Xu Tianxing continued to taunt.
That's right, even when Urahara channeled Ichigo's power of death, what Ichigo saw was the incarnation of the overwhelmingly dominant "Power of the Quincy" in his body - that is, this handsome uncle. .
"No, I just told him that his death power is called [Tianxing]. As for how to call me, it is his own decision." Uncle Tianxing excused himself very thiefly.
The "Power of the Quincy" also did not want Ichigo to die, so it did not prevent the power of these fragments from being used, so it told Ichigo the name "Tianxing", and he was mistaken by Ichigo for the "Tianxing" itself. Call him "Uncle Tianxing".
But in fact, Ichigo's current sword is far from the real [Tianxing], and "Uncle Tianxing" has nothing to do with the [Tianxing], but is suppressing the power of the real [Tianxing].
And in comparison, the "Void Star" that looks very "virtual" is closer to the incarnation of [Celestial Star]!
"Admit it! Ever since you helped Ichigo and used some of the Shinigami's power fragments, you have realized... that you are not the ancestor of the Quincy at all, but just [Ichigo's Quincy Power]!"
While the Xu Tianxing continued to attack "Uncle Tianxing", Kenpachi not only pierced but also broke the [Tianxing], and even... caused fatal injuries to Ichigo.
Seeing that Ichigo is already wandering between life and death...
"Let me out! The two of us join forces to be the strongest [Tianxing]!" Xu Tianxing wanted to take the opportunity to persuade "Destroy Tianxing" - assuming that he is also a "Tianxing", this is Xu Tianxing's biggest concession.
"Impossible! But..." Uncle Tianxing still didn't agree, but he still... released more of the power of the Xutianxing - this is the source of the power of Ichigo's Zanpakutō!
However, it is not a pure Death's Zanpakutō, because it is integrated with the power of the void, and it can even be said that the power of the void is dominant.
At the same time, the Annihilation Star leaned down and caused a group of "shadows" to disperse from here.
"Oh, the power of the Quincy? It's quite interesting." Xu Tianxing seemed to regard the power of the Quincy as a plaything.
The Quincy Star, who had been ridiculed for a long time, couldn't help but retaliate: "Well, not only is it interesting, it can also seal you."
"you!"
At the same time, the [Field of Shadow] driven by the Quincy's power now penetrated directly from Ichigo's inner world to the outside world.
After beheading Ichigo, Kenpachi felt his mood waned and turned to leave without noticing that Ichigo behind him was now wrapped in shadow...
