"Yes, Kurosaki-san, it's not over yet!"

Orihime Inoue consoled her.

She understood that the meaning of her coming here was to cheer up the person in front of her and push the person in front of her to become a king.

"If you wish, there are more! There are many right here."

"That's right, Ichigo."

Kuchiki Rukia also nodded slightly and stepped forward, "Although I don't know what happened when you faced Yhwach, but it was nothing more than a blow, right? Come on, let's talk about it...what exactly is it? , can make you feel so desperate.”

"Those who can't win... can't find a winning 'future' at all."

Kurosaki Ichigo was still shaking his head in despair, with a look of decadence and a sad smile on his face.

"'Future'? What happened?"

Kuchiki Rukia frowned slightly when she heard this and asked Inoue Orihime who had been here all along.

"That's the power to 'change the future'." Inoue Orihime replied with a solemn expression.

"The power to change the future?"

After hearing this, Kuchiki Rukia seemed to quickly understand why Kurosaki Ichigo was desperate.

If it was that kind of power, they would really be helpless.

"Yes, with such power, we can't even repair the broken Sky Lock Zangetsu, because it was broken in the 'future'."

Inoue Orihime said calmly while trying to repair Kurosaki Ichigo's Zanpakutō, "My power can only affect the present, but it cannot change the future."

"In that case... isn't it true that we can't fight and are really desperate?" Abarai Renji frowned slightly when he heard this.

"indeed so."

Inoue Orihime replied, but with a calm expression, she still seemed to have no intention of giving up, "But even so, it is not the time to 'despair' yet."

"Why?"

Kurosaki Ichigo was a little confused.

"The current situation...is there any way to reverse it?"

"It's not a question of whether there is a method, but... whether or not to try."

Inoue Orihime smiled softly, "Kurosaki-kun, don't be intimidated by Yhwach's words. The words 'Your kingship has ended here' are not something he can decide at all."

"But... I can't defeat him! There is absolutely no way now, and you can't think of a way! Can't you?" Kurosaki Ichigo asked confused.

"Yes."

Orihime Inoue answered calmly, "But, have you forgotten? What you just learned."

"What?"

"King, don't be afraid of failure."

"!

"

Suddenly, Kurosaki Ichigo was stunned.

How many times had he tried?

I gave up once...

What a disappointment.

No wonder Yhwach was so disappointed.

"Kurosaki-san, the way of kingship is different for everyone."

Seeing that Kurosaki Ichigo seemed to understand something, Inoue Orihime continued with a gentle smile.

"That's right."

At this time, a familiar voice came.

Nelu appeared here at some unknown time, calmly looking down at Kurosaki Ichigo who was kneeling on the ground, and then calmly continued what Inoue Orihime said, "The way Yohabach did was to do it alone in the world. And you …”

"Kurosaki-san has never been alone along the way."

Inoue Orihime smiled and said, "Look, they are all here."

As she said that, she stepped back half her body.

I didn't know when, but several figures were already standing behind her.

Taitora Chadator who defeated the Giant God Soldier; Byakuya Kuchiki, Toshiro Hitsugaya and others who defeated the Titan of Light; Uryu Ishida and his father Ryugen Ishida, and Isshin Kurosaki, the father of Ichigo Kurosaki...

"If you wish, there is as much as you want here. Let's move forward with our 'hope', Kurosaki-san."

"Yeah, what's going on?"

Abarai Renji couldn't help but drag Kurosaki Ichigo up from the ground.

"gone."

"Renji... where are you... taking me?" Kurosaki Ichigo asked doubtfully.

"Do you need to say more? Of course we go to Yuhabach's place." Renji Abarai responded matter-of-factly.

"But... I have broken my Zanpakutō, and even Inoue's power cannot repair it..." Kurosaki Ichigo lowered his head.

"puff--"

At this moment, a long knife mercilessly penetrated Kurosaki Ichigo's body.

"!"

Looking at the long knife that penetrated him, Kurosaki Ichigo was slightly stunned.

Strangely, he felt no pain.

"Just because she can't do it, doesn't mean no one can do it."

A confident voice came from behind.

Kurosaki Ichigo turned around in confusion: "Are you... Tsukishima!?"

"It's me."

Hidekuro Tsukishima answered with a chuckle.

"Asshole...what do you want to do?" Kurosaki Ichigo looked at this man with a slight frown.

He only remembered that this man was dead. Why was he here?

"Ask me what to do?"

Hidekuro Tsukishima replied with a headache, "I can't answer it either. I'm just following orders to witness the existence of 'hope'."

"Witness the existence of 'hope'?"

Kurosaki Ichigo looked confused.

"Yes, you are already desperate, right?"

Another voice sounded.

He is Tsukishima Hidekuro's good friend, Ginjo Kūgo.

"Yhwach broke your Zanpakutō in the 'future'. It's such a powerful ability that even Miss Orihime couldn't repair it... You think there's nothing you can do about it." Ginjo Kūgo explained indifferently. He said, "But it's a pity that I have to disappoint you. Even if you can't see 'hope', 'hope' still exists. Because we are here."

As he spoke, he gestured to Tsukishima Hidekuro on the side.

Tsukishima Hidekuro nodded slightly and said to Inoue Orihime on the side: "Miss Orihime, I have finished what I should do. Please let this stupid boy see 'hope' again."

"Um!"

Inoue Orihime nodded firmly, and then used her ability again towards the broken Tensuo Zangetsu.

But this time, the Zanpakutō, which was supposed to be broken by Yhwach in the 'future', was restored to integrity again.

"!

This is..." Kurosaki Ichigo was slightly startled when he saw this, with a confused look on his face.

"Even Miss Orihime's power cannot 'reject' the future that is rewritten by powerful forces, but what if 'the future has never been rewritten'? Of course, we can 'reject' it."

Tsukishima Hidekuro explained calmly, "Have you forgotten? My ability is the 'Book of the End'. Clamping into existence, you can sandwich your own existence into the other person's past without hurting the other person. Change the other person's memory. This object can not only be a person, but anything with a soul and memory can become my target.

Your Zanpakutō and you are one.

When I stabbed you just now, I added "your sword was not broken" to the memory of the "Zanpakuto". "

"Look, 'hope' exists, Kurosaki-san."

Inoue Orihime said softly, "The way you walk is the way of a benevolent person who protects everyone. You are our 'hope', and similarly, we who are being protected will do our best to bring you 'hope' .”

"Yeah, keep going, Ichigo."

Abarai Renji let go of Kurosaki Ichigo's hand, "If you continue to be decadent like this, it won't be like you at all! Everyone here is here because of you. Go challenge it again, even if If you fail again, we will follow your footsteps without hesitation. After all... you are our 'king'."

············

"He's gone."

Ishida Uryu looked at the figure disappearing into the 'door', smiled and sighed.

"Yeah, let's go."

Chawata Taihu smiled and nodded.

"Although I said so many beautiful words, in the end... the only one who steps on the battlefield is the king."

"Can we just watch like this?" Uryu Ishida asked.

"No, I don't want to watch anyway."

Saying that, Renji Abarai smiled and rushed into the door without hesitation.

There would be no room for soldiers to intervene on the battlefield between kings, but he still chose to go to the battlefield, even if it was to witness the outcome, whether it was failure or victory, he would never look back.

"Yes, even if it's a one-on-one battle, there should be thousands of troops behind us to support us, right?"

Ishida Uryu also smiled and took steps to prepare to set off.

However, at this moment, a cluster of arrows flew towards his feet.

"This is……"

He turned back in confusion and looked at his father Ishida Ryugen, whom he had bumped into on the way here.

"Take it with you, Uryū. This is exactly the purpose of my coming here." Ishida Ryugen explained expressionlessly, "All Quincy who have been given 'Holiness' have silver blood clots in their hearts. And death is the gathering of arrows made of silver."

"!"

Ishida Uryu was slightly startled when he heard this.

At this moment, he finally understood why his father had endured the pain of dissecting his mother's body.

It turned out to be to remove this from the heart.

This is...

"The arrows you should shoot."

Ishida Ryugen said calmly, "Use it to penetrate Yhwach's heart and understand him."

·············

On the other side, Renji Abarai has caught up with Ichigo Kurosaki who is moving forward in the world.

"The 'hope' you mentioned, did I really give you 'hope'?"

Kurosaki Ichigo still seemed confused, but following the trend of everyone, he still chose to move forward.

"Of course."

Renji Abarai said matter-of-factly.

He knew that at this moment, Ichigo needed someone to strengthen his faith.

Firmly believe in the strong belief that you can accept it calmly no matter what kind of results you face.

"You know? It's been a long time, a long time, probably decades... Rukia and I have been so estranged that we have never even crossed paths."

As if reminiscing, Abarai Renji said with emotion, "Originally I was already 'desperate' about this, thinking that because of the identity gap between me and Rukia, who bears the name of Kuchiki, it would be impossible to do it again. Get back to the distance you once were.

And the person who restores the distance between us is you, Ichigo.

It's you who gave me 'hope'.

So I decided that when you can't move forward, even if I have to carry you, I will support you to move forward.

It’s good now and in the future.

I will do this until you die!

If you understand, then be firmer.

I won't say what I just said a second time. "

"Well... I don't want to hear such disgusting words a second time."

The corner of Kurosaki Ichigo's mouth twitched when he heard this, but the expression on his face became much more relaxed.

"You brat!"

"Ha ha ha ha--"

"Let's go! Regardless of success or failure, stand in front of him again."

"I get it, King—don't be afraid of failure."

············

On the other side, Yhwach has passed through the door, crossed the boundary, and returned to Soul Society's Pure Soul Palace.

What greeted him was the man who was obviously bound to the stone chair but seemed to be sitting on the throne - Sosuke Aizen.

"Coming?"

Looking at Yhwach who appeared directly in front of him, Aizen smiled faintly.

"As expected, I have long thought that I would meet you again in Soul Society.

Welcome to my Soul Society. "

Hearing this, Yhwach also showed a bright smile.

Yes, his target is Aizen.

This would be his second stepping stone before challenging that man.

In this place where strife begins, he will prove that he is the strongest person in this world and that he is qualified to surpass the 'world'!

boom--

The next moment, a violent roar sounded, and then smoke filled the air.

It was Yhwach who shattered the stone chair restraining Aizen with one blow.

"What a surprise. You came later than I expected."

Aizen sighed as he slowly walked out of the smoke, "It seems that Kurosaki Ichigo is more troublesome than I expected."

"Please don't impose your troubles on me." Yhwach did not take this provocation seriously and said calmly, "You are the one who lost to Kurosaki Ichigo. The reason why I wasted so much time is just I just want to figure something out.”

"Yeah?"

Aizen shook his head helplessly, "Forget it, no matter what, I still want to thank you for destroying that disgusting chair."

As he spoke, Aizen opened his arms, as if embracing the whole world.

For a moment, terrifying spiritual pressure rose from his body, immediately blowing away all the surrounding smoke.

"Thanks to you, I can stop you like this."

"So...you are fighting me for Soul Society?" Yhwach seemed to have heard something funny and asked with a smile, "I don't think that would be beneficial to you."

"Nothing to gain."

Aizen smiled calmly and replied, "I have always fought to defeat the things that try to control me. Do you want to use me to prove something? Unfortunately, I refuse."

"Do you have this qualification?"

Yhwach smiled contemptuously, "Those who need my help to regain their freedom - the defeated generals of their defeated generals."

"Yeah?"

Aizen didn't seem to care about such provocation at all, and asked instead: "You seem to think... you really defeated Kurosaki Ichigo?"

"!

"

The next moment, as if following the words, two figures leaped out from the 'door'.

The whistling blade slashed towards Yhwach mercilessly.

Yohabach was a little surprised by this.

But such a straightforward sneak attack naturally meant nothing to him.

His 'eyes' could already see through all the 'future' except that man.
