A dimensional journey starting from the Dragon Clan

"Huh, that's true..."

Yhwach narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the lines that appeared on Kurosaki Ichigo's arm.

He knew that this was probably Kurosaki Ichigo subconsciously using the 'Static Blood Equipment'.

In a sense, Kurosaki Ichigo's performance at this moment can be regarded as a genius among Quincy geniuses.

Although he has never learned how to use the Quincy's abilities, he can subconsciously use the Izuku Blood Armor for defense based on instinct alone.

But this kind of defense has no effect on him.

Yhwach sneered and swung the knife again, and increased the strength in his hand.

"!!"

Feeling the power coming from the blade, Kurosaki Ichigo's face became solemn.

He didn't expect that the person in front of him would be so different from himself in serious strength!

"The next blow will penetrate you! Don't think you can escape with the static blood suit!"

Saying that, Yhwach found a gap in Kurosaki Ichigo's defense, smiled wildly, and stabbed out mercilessly with the sharp blade in his hand.

However, just when the sharp blade was about to touch Ichigo Kurosaki, a dark shadow suddenly wrapped around the blade... It shouldn't be said that it was Yhwach who was wrapped around.

"This is……"

Looking at the dark shadow that gradually enveloped him, Yhwach seemed to understand something and stopped moving with some regret.

"The time has come, Your Majesty."

Behind him, Hugolen Hasward respectfully reminded, "The limit of activities outside the Shadow Realm has been reached. Please return to the Invisible Empire."

"Obviously there should still be time... No... I see. Is that what Aizen did?"

Yhwach thought for a while, chuckled and sighed, "Didn't you expect that in the few minutes of contact with him, he actually disturbed my senses? Hasward, you should have noticed it a long time ago, right? But you have remained silent all this time. ?”

"I think that even if I tell you that there is not enough time, it will not stop you from taking action against Kurosaki Ichigo." Hugolan Hasward shook his head slightly and answered respectfully.

"Hmph, forget it, let's go."

This time, Yhwach glanced at Kurosaki Ichigo with contempt, then turned around and planned to leave.

Hugolan Hasward's words have already been said for this reason. With such a considerate subordinate, it would be disrespectful to continue to stay willfully and waste time.

"!!etc!"

Seeing Yhwach turn around and prepare to leave, Kurosaki Ichigo gasped and shouted, "Do you think I will let you escape!? You bastard has brought Soul Society to this...how can I let you go so easily!"

"..."

However, in the face of Kurosaki Ichigo's cry, neither Yhwach nor Hugolen Hasward did not stop, but chose to ignore it.

"Damn it! I told you to stop!"

Amidst the roar, Kurosaki Ichigo angrily brandished his Zanpakutō and attacked the two of them from behind.

"Don't be so ignorant, kid."

Huguelin Hasward turned around indifferently and drew his sword.

Click——

The sound of shattering came, and Kurosaki Ichigo froze on the spot.

Because... the 'Tiansuo Zhanyue' that had been unlocked in his hand actually broke under the opponent's casual blow!

The desperate disparity in strength made him suddenly at a loss.

There is no chance of winning at all.

"Goodbye, Kurosaki Ichigo."

As if sensing Kurosaki Ichigo's surprise at this moment, Yhwach smiled faintly without looking back, "I will pick you up again one day, just heal your wounds and wait.

Born of darkness, my son. "

············

After the war.

The rain continued to pour heavily.

"The second group, Classes 11 to 16, are heading to the West 56th District! The rest of you are following me!"

"yes!"

"Don't worry about the bodies yet! Prioritize transporting the injured to the Fourth Division team building!"

The entire Soul Society became noisy, and the medical team members who had been staying in the fourth team's building finally moved out and began to search for team members who could still be saved in the ruins.

"Urgent transport! Please give instructions!"

"Yes! Please send him to Ward 203!"

The deputy captain of the Fourth Squadron, Kotetsu Yuune, stood beside the captain Unohana Retsu, looking at the wounded who were being transported to the team building with a very solemn expression. He had mixed feelings for a while.

"Finally, we can start treating the wounded... Until the end, we didn't treat any wounded during the battle..." She asked the captain beside her with some sadness, "Captain Maozhihua, let's just stay on the four sides like this. Is the squad really good? If you go to the Quiet Spirit Courtyard to help, you will definitely be able to treat more wounded people..."

"Yongyin, please don't say such sentimental and stupid words." Unohana Retsu's expression looked extremely calm from the beginning, "It is very easy to be driven by uneasiness and send out all the personnel of the comprehensive rescue center to provide support. , but you should understand without me explaining why Captain Yamamoto didn’t give us the order to attack even in the end, right?”

"Yes... I'm very sorry!" Kotetsu Yongyin gritted his teeth, and tears couldn't stop flowing from his eyes.

She knew that the captain probably wanted to save everyone more than she did.

But just as the captain said, they must obey the orders of the captain.

‘No matter what happens, Division 4 is not allowed to dispatch. ’

The old man believed until the end that there was still hope for Soul Society.

As the only ones who can soothe the fire of hope after the war, they cannot rush to the battlefield and die in vain.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The members of the Fourth Squadron concentrated all their efforts in the rescue center and continuously treated the wounded who were being sent in one after another.

Everyone who survives on the battlefield is a flame of hope.

They must ensure that this flame will not go out in order to face the next, more brutal war that may happen again at any time.

"Thanks……"

Kurosaki Ichigo looked at the rescue workers who had completed emergency treatment and thanked him.

"No matter what happened, we should be grateful to Mr. Kurosaki for coming to help us!"

"No...I can't do anything to help..."

Hearing this, Kurosaki Ichigo lowered his eyes in shame.

Such an ending was a disastrous defeat that left no room for argument, both for Soul Society and for him.

As a 'king', he had sworn to protect everyone, but he found that his power was not strong enough.

"Don't be discouraged, Mr. Kurosaki, it's far from time to give up hope." At this time, Akon, the deputy director of the Technology Development Bureau, came over with documents, "Although many people did die in this battle, as long as the corpse soul We will not give up until the world is completely destroyed, and what we need to do now is to regroup as soon as possible."

"I understand." Kurosaki Ichigo quickly cheered up and nodded seriously.

"By the way, please look at this."

Kon handed the information in his hand to Kurosaki Ichigo, "According to the text message Urahara Kisuke just sent from Hueco Mundo, your companions are all safe.

The Quincy who used a cage to trap you in the world has been confirmed to have been defeated.

Although there is no way to resume voice communication for the time being, I will notify you as soon as there is news. "

"Trouble."

Kurosaki Ichigo nodded slightly and breathed a sigh of relief.

He left the others and rushed over without helping at all. If there were any problems over there, it would really be more of a loss than a gain.

"Ahhhh-bastard! Let me go!"

Just when he breathed a sigh of relief, there was a loud roar from the side.

Turning his head, he saw Madarame Ikkaku who was strapped to a stretcher and unable to move.

"No! Please calm down! You are seriously injured and cannot move!"

"Stop blabbering! I'm going to see the captain! How could the captain... be killed!?"

"Come on! Get the sedatives quickly!"

"Captain! Ahhh!"

"Kenpachi... was he defeated too?"

Listening to the general content of the conversation, Kurosaki Ichigo's expression was extremely solemn.

It was hard for him to imagine that even a monster like Zaraki Kenpachi could be defeated in this war.

"Mr. Ichigo!"

"Forehead?"

Hearing the sudden call, Kurosaki Ichigo raised his head again.

It was Hanataro Yamada who hurriedly fetched sedatives and various drugs and tools for treatment, and just knocked Madarame down.

"Mr. Ichigo, please come here too! Let me treat you!"

"No, I don't need to..."

Looking at the syringe in the opponent's hand, the corner of Kurosaki Ichigo's mouth twitched, "I have already done emergency treatment, so there is no need to spend a lot of time... You should take care of other people who are more seriously injured first, right?"

"How can this be done! I can tell at a glance that Mr. Ichigo's injuries are serious too!"

"All right……"

In the end, Kurosaki Ichigo couldn't defeat him and was wrapped into a rice dumpling.

"Ichigo."

Mako Hirako, who was also bandaged, came to him with a solemn expression.

"What's wrong?"

"Abarai and Rukia's surgeries are over."

Mako Hirako turned her head and gestured in the direction of the intensive care unit.

"Are you ready? Hanataro? I'm going to see Rukia and the others."

"Okay, no strenuous exercise for now!"

Soon, after bidding farewell to Hanataro Yamada, Ichigo Kurosaki followed Mako Hirako to the intensive care unit where Rukia Kuchiki and Renji Abarai were.

At this moment, both of them were still lying on the bed wearing oxygen masks. Just looking at them, they knew they were seriously injured.

"In short, we are out of danger for the time being." The nurse on the side looked at him solemnly and explained the situation of the two people at the moment, "Then, if anything happens, call me."

With that said, she turned around and left to help treat other wounded people. At this time, there was an urgent shortage of manpower. The number of wounded people was far greater than the number of members of the Fourth Division, and they were simply too busy.

But this seems to be good news, at least it proves that there are still quite a lot of people alive.

"Ichigo..."

After the medical staff left, a weak voice sounded.

"!"

Kurosaki Ichigo looked at Rukia Kuchiki lying on the bed in surprise when he heard the sound, "Rukia!!? Can you speak!?"

"It's okay... barely..."

Rukia Kuchiki smiled bitterly, "By the way, thank you for coming to protect Soul Society..."

"That goes without saying!" Kurosaki Ichigo was still very proud at first, but as he spoke, he suddenly became discouraged, "Well...actually, I didn't help at all this time."

"Ah? Didn't you go all the way to drive away the enemy's boss?" Makoto Hirako asked with some confusion, "If you hadn't arrived, the situation would have been worse, right? Just raise your head with your head held high. Bar."

"No...although I miss him too...but this time...it was really not me who drove him away, but the guy who left on his own."

Kurosaki Ichigo's eyes were a little lonely.

"Hmph, no matter what, the result is that Soul Society is saved." Hirako Mako couldn't help but retort, "Instead of regretting this and that here, why not think about what to do next?"

"After?" Kurosaki Ichigo hesitated upon hearing this, "Even Zangetsu was broken in this battle. I don't know what to do at all..."

"about this……"

Suddenly, a cautious voice came from the door, interrupting their conversation.

The person who came was wearing glasses and a white coat, but it seemed that he was not a medical staff, but someone from the Technology Development Bureau.

"Captain Nirvana calls you over, Mr. Kurosaki! It seems that he wants to discuss things about your Zanpakutō."

"Uh...Okay! I'll take my leave now."

Kurosaki Ichigo was slightly stunned when he heard this, and said goodbye to Hirako Mako and Rukia on the side.

"Go ahead and get busy."

Looking at Kurosaki Ichigo's leaving figure, Hirako Mako sighed, "Our 'King' seems to have been severely hit by this failure."

"It's only natural..." A look of sadness flashed across Kuchiki Rukia's face lying on the bed, "With this guy's character, he must have sworn in his heart to protect everyone."

"Yeah, but the result..."

Hirako Mako shook his head slightly.

"Forget it, after all, growth is something he can only rely on himself."

With that said, Hirako Mako stood up and prepared to leave.

"Then I'll take my leave first. There are still many things waiting for us captains to deal with..."

"..."

Soon, the captains, including Hirako Mako, gathered in the first team building after treating their wounds.

"The body of...the captain was not found."

Ukitake Jushiro said solemnly, "It should have been... destroyed by the enemy."

"..."

Hearing this, everyone's expressions looked extremely heavy.

They lowered their heads and seemed to be silently paying homage to the deceased old man.

"Report to you..."

However, at this moment, an incomprehensible voice came.

Someone from the secret mobile army came to summon him.

"Byakuya Kuchiki, the captain of the 6th Division, and Kenpachi Zaraki, the captain of the 11th Division, have temporarily saved their lives. However, it may be difficult to recover from such injuries and continue to serve as captains...especially Captain Kuchiki...I'm afraid Even the possibility of waking up is..."

"..."

Even if the other party did not continue speaking, everyone understood the meaning.

Without a doubt, this was the worst defeat in Soul Society's history.

The captain has fallen, and the two captains are likely to be unable to continue serving. They are once again plunged into the worst situation.
