As the day continued Shen had been preparing for the event to begin. It would start during the duel between Ichigo and Ishida but before then he had to make sure he was ready. Shen had been assessing exactly what he would need.
Number one is the fact he was way too slow. Although he can move much faster than the current Ichigo that gap will soon be closed the moment he learns Bankai or maybe even his Shikai. Other than that he definitely needed a better way of transportation.
Number two was his attacks were too limited. Other than the Kamehameha and the After Image Technique he was basically all physical attacks relying on strength and speed which weren't even his top two highest stats. Plus while fighting he couldn't only rely on the Kamehameha no matter how cool it was it still had a charge up and at that moment he was vulnerable.
So with all that in mind, he made one more purchase from the shop and learned Ki Control. It took up almost all of his remaining SP but he found it to be well worth it.

-Techniques-
After Image[Lv 1]: User raises their speed to the limit leaving an afterimage when they move making them appear to have vanished.
Kamehameha[Lv 1]: Cupping their hands together the user gathers energy between there palms before releasing it as a powerful energy wave.
Ki Control[Lv 1]: The user is able to control Ki to an intermediate amount.
Sadly this technique pretty much used up all the SP he had saved up. But the ability to control Ki on his own more than made up for it. With it, he was now able to Fly at a moderate speed which was a lot faster than his running speed and he could even create Ki Blast which could be used to do all types of things.
If he leveled his Ki Control up more he might even be able to sense people which would be extremely helpful if he needs to find anyone or avoid someone. But even all of that was stuff that wouldn't last long. The moment Ichigo is introduced to Bankai the whole show changes hollows will become nothing more then fodder and even Menos Grande will just be trash on can kill with a single strike.
And the moment he becomes the enemy of big figures like the Gotei 13 or the Espada hiding might as well become impossible.
But of course, this didn't affect him as he didn't plan to hide nor run at least not for long. He had a system and access to abilities from tons of different universes. How could a Bankai or Ressurection compare to a Susnaoo able to cut entire mountains down with a single stroke or the ability to create tsunamis big enough to crush an entire island with a single punch? Hell if he had enough SP he would even be able to learn Ultra Instinct at that point he wouldn't he just become invincible?
He felt excited just thinking about it and soon brought himself back down to earth. "Alright, their duel should have begun a while ago time to go." Meanwhile, Ichigo and Uryu were standing in a field back to back with Ichigo slashing down hollows left and right and Ishida shooting 100s of arrows at a time.
"That hollow bait shouldn't have lured this many hollows here." At the moment the two of them were absolutely surrounded by hollows to the point it became abnormal. As they continued to fight hollows suddenly the hollows around them halted there attacks looking up towards the sky.
The sky shakes as it looks like it's bending in on itself as dark cracks appear like cracks on glass. Two large white hands reach through the crack spreading it open and what came next made everyone freeze. A massive hollow appeared in the crack with a loud roar. Even Rukia was shocked by the fact a Menos would appear here.
"How the hell are we suppose to fight that thing?" Ichigo couldn't imagine fighting something that massive it was like a skyscraper. The other hollows around them turn attention back to Ichigo and Uryu ready to fight but before they could move. Something came wooshing towards them blowing them up instantly. The attacks were sharp and precise leaving no room for resistance.
Through the dust, Urahara and his employees appear. "Hey, Ichigo we've come to help." Waving his hands Urahara walked towards Ichigo. Looking at everyone he smiles. "Looks like we have an unexpected guest." With that, he looks up in the air only to see someone standing there.
Hearing Urahara Ichigo and the others look up only for Ichigo and Rukia's eyes to widen in shock. "It's him." Ichigo immediately recognizes the Mysterious Person who is standing in the air. Hearing Ichigo Uryu asks "Is he a friend of yours?" Hearing him Ichigo shakes his head. "No, I don't even know who he is I've only met him once."
With that being said Urahara's eyes narrowed looking at the person standing in the sky. He couldn't sense anything from them no spiritual pressure whatsoever even if they were suppressing it he was a former captain there was no way he wouldn't be able to sense at least a hint of spiritual pressure.
'He has the ability to stand on air without the use of spiritual pressure...' Shen, on the other hand, was simply staring at the Menos tearing itself through the sky. 'Dear god that thing is huge!' Just the sheer size of the Menos shocked Shen I mean sure the anime shows its size but seeing it in an anime compared to real-life was a totally different experience.
With that in mind, Shen could only hope he was strong enough to actually fight the Menos. If he lost and had to retreat it would be a huge blow to the persona he made. There is nothing worse for a villain than not being taken seriously.
While Urahara's employee's dealt with the surrounding hollows Urahara slowly walked up to Rukia. "So tell me Rukia what do you know about this person?" Rukia turned to Urahara and explained the entire encounter with the Grand Fisher. "Hmm."
Suddenly the Mysterious Person made a move from underneath the cloak his hand slowly raised towards the Menos Grande who had successfully managed to leave the crack in the sky. Light gathered in front of the Mysterious Person's palm. The light became crimson as a ball of energy appeared growing bigger and bigger with each passing second.
With it expanding at an alarming rate everyone couldn't help but look. Rukia lightly whispered underneath her breathe? "Could it be he's using Hado is he really a soul reaper?" Urahara came to the same conclusion as Rukia but then shook it off. There is no Hado like that he still couldn't feel any spiritual pressure from the ball but instead felt a sort of invisible tension.
No matter who it was one could see the power being exuded from it. "Hey Uryu?" Ichigo looked over to Uryu. "You said you were the last Quincy but could be a Quincy as well?" Uryu shook his head. "We Quincy's use bows as our weapon turning spiritual pressure into projectiles but I can't sense anything from him I doubt he's a Quincy or anything else for that matter."
With that everyone had run out of guesses and only continued to watch. As for Shen, he was using this as an experiment. He was able to wipe out hollows such as the Grand Fisher with relative ease but comparing the Grand Fisher well at least the Grand Fisher he fought to a Menos was like comparing puppy to a wolf.
With that in mind he wasn't holding back with another burst of Ki he charged the Ki Blast to the max making it easily 10 times bigger than himself in another instant. Seeing that Urahara reacted quickly raising his hand and creating a barrier around everyone. In the next moment, Shen launched the Ki Blast towards the Menos Grande creating a shockwave caused by the sheer power of the blast.
What do you think is going to happen to the Menos Grande will Shens attack be effective or not also when abilities do you want to seem him unlock.
