Far from the main battlefield and away from the injured Allen, Orihime was with Isane, Chad, and Rukia, now recovered. This group waited for the battles to end. Escaping on their own was complicated since powerful figures were fighting everywhere. The Seireitei was filled with explosions and destruction.
Rukia gripped her sword. She did not lose her powers, but as a prisoner, her spiritual energy had been suppressed many times, leaving her in a weakened state. However, she had recovered now, thanks to Allen using fragments on her. Of course, Allen had not said that, he had instead given her a "magic kiss" that made her recover... at least, that's what the bastard had claimed.
Rukia blushed at the memory. She didn't understand how anyone could be so bold. Allen had flirted with her more in one hour than anyone had in the past hundred years. Rukia felt cheated since Allen hadn't given her that impression when she first met him.
'Could it be that he's acting like this because he likes me?'
Rukia blushed even more with her own thoughts, but it made some sense. She felt her heart race. If Allen were just a womanizer who pursued anyone, she might be annoyed, but if he only acted this way with the girls he liked, then the situation would be different.
'Girls...'
Rukia glanced sideways at Orihime. She had a worried look on her face as she gazed at the horizon. Although her relationship with Allen seemed more sibling-like, was it really just that?
Rukia had not only researched Allen before meeting him but also his friends. And she had to say, this girl had the strangest behavior.
She seemed like a clumsy, silly girl who lived her life in a bubble, who loved to eat, especially bread, and who always tried to be pampered by others. But that was only in front of Allen and Tatsuki.
Orihime was usually much quieter the rest of the day. She smiled and talked with others but always kept a certain distance. Rukia didn't want to judge anyone, no matter the situation, especially not this girl, who had also saved her. But Rukia felt that Orihime wasn't as innocent as she appeared.
Orihime looked at Rukia and smiled with concern. "He'll be alright, right?"
"Y-yes, don't worry..."
Rukia felt ashamed of her thoughts. While the girl was worried, she was feeling jealous of her.
Rukia shook her head and pushed aside all those silly thoughts. However, deep down, there was still some doubt.
Chad, standing next to both girls, thought to himself, 'Before getting jealous of each other, shouldn't they question why Allen openly has relationships with so many girls?'
Chad truly didn't understand how they could hear a woman repeatedly calling Allen her husband and not question it.
Allen always has it in his heart to avoid worrying others; that's why he kept the people of Bleach from finding out what was going on because, unlike his Chat, they haven't seen so many of his fights.
...
It was a small oversight, just that, but the price to pay was enormous. Many in the Chat were probably thinking everything was fine because, in the end, Allen had his Save Point, so he wasn't really in danger...
Wrong...
The girls close to Allen knew that "Save Point" was not working at the moment. This secret was a dangerous thing to reveal so Allen did not make it public. The Save Point is a terrifying ability, as it is capable of returning a person even if their soul is completely destroyed or they are erased from existence. However, with Allen's increased power, the recovery time of each Sabe Point increased, making it so that after the battle with Void, he lost all his Save Points and had not yet recovered.
For example, suppose the skill: Save point is a worker whose job is to move boxes from one shelf to another; the shelf where the boxes are is the present, and the shelf he has to take them to is the past. An ordinary person would weigh a cardboard box; however, as Allen's power increases away from an ordinary person, so does the weight of his box, making it reach a point where it weighs tons, and after moving it, the worker ends up with back pain for months...
So Allen only has one life at the moment...
Not only that, there is the problem of restrictions on his power...
The system had said that entering a world as part of it had many advantages, such as Allen developing two zanpakuto naturally without the system's intervention. Allen could inherit Yhwach's throne, becoming the new Quincy King, but the price was not using anything that could alter the balance of this world.
Allen was already tired of this. According to the system, maybe in the next evolution and two more of Allen, there wouldn't be such a bothersome restriction every time he entered a world. However, the next evolution of the system required ten thousand fragments, and Allen needed one of a thousand and another of ten thousand, totaling twenty-one thousand fragments.
Despite that, Allen wasn't weak. Entering the world, he was at a level where he could face almost anyone... maybe only Yhwach with the Spirit King's power and the Spirit King himself would be impossible to defeat using just Chi and his cursed energy. Still, he was very strong...
Then why?
It's Allen's fault, as simple as that, that broadcasting so much information to two people like Aizen and Urahara had altered the world even before he arrived, as a result, he found himself with an overly strong Zaraki and an Urahara with bad intentions knowing almost all of his powers, abilities and most importantly, his limits.
...
Returning to the fight, Zaraki had already used his Bankai and was attacking without mercy or restraint.
Allen thought that Zaraki had lost his mind, so this was a real fight to the death. It wasn't a situation where he could afford to let the other side live.
"Slash The World" was an enhanced version of Desmantle with infinite reach, theoretically capable of splitting the world, although it had only been proven to be able to split infinity by ignoring the concept of distance.
Allen's fingers gathered cursed energy as his face filled with coldness. It didn't matter if Zaraki Kempachi was one of the good guys in the original story, it didn't matter if he was loved by many; at this moment, Allen was fighting to the death against someone who wanted to kill him. For him and most people, there was no mercy for others at the cost of your own life.
"Sekai o Tatsu Zangeki (Slash That Cuts The World)!!"
Allen's hand traced an arc through the air as Zaraki kept charging and forcing him to retreat. However, Allen made a mistake in his calculation. His opponent hadn't lost his mind, and sensing the danger, he dodged, avoiding Allen's hand movements.
Then, from the right, he grabbed Allen's arm and squeezed with the intent to rip it off.
"Don't underestimate me!"
Allen felt offended by being treated this way. He strengthened his arm with cursed energy, then covered it with Chi, which had an effect similar to an electric fence, repelling Zaraki's hand.
Allen sharpened his gaze and struck Zaraki's abdomen. This time, his Chi wasn't just to weaken him, but to directly attack his organs.
Zaraki spat blood but didn't retreat even a little. Zaraki's massive sword gleamed with murderous intent from above. Feeling the danger, Allen teleported using a classic Limitless move.
Zaraki, roaring, charged toward him at high speed. Allen crossed his ring and middle fingers.
"Damain Expansion: Infinite Void!"
Zaraki was trapped in the domain meant to fry a person's mind by exposing them to endless information. Allen knew Zaraki wasn't invincible, nor immune to attacks like this. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been affected by the technique of the Sternritter Pernidas.
Just when Allen felt he had the luxury of healing the wound that nearly killed him, the domain shattered. No, Zaraki Kempachi had cut through it with his zanpakuto.
"URAHARA!"
This would be the first time Allen shouted someone's name with so much hate. He hadn't underestimated him. He never let his guard down with Aizen and even less with Urahara. Yet, they still kept falling for their traps.
...
Gwen – Why isn't Artoria there yet?!
Barbara – What are they doing?!
Raven – They should be able to teleport... why?!
Carol – Something's wrong. It seems all the dolls realized the situation, but none teleported.
The Emperor – It's not that they didn't do it... they can't...
Akeno – Is someone blocking them?!
...
Above the sky, Urahara was seated as the image of a giant woman appeared behind him. It was his Bankai.
"Kannon Biraki Benihime Aratame (Modification of the Dissection of the Crimson Princess)"
Urahara's Bankai could restructure and modify anything, even a living being, with just a touch of his hands. Thanks to this power, it could also open gaps in the opponent, allowing others to enter places where they normally couldn't.
The key here was the last ability, the restructuring, which allowed others to enter places they couldn't normally reach. Urahara, after many attempts, had managed to alter this ability, reverse it, and amplify it so that he could prevent others from entering certain places.
With his body covered in sutures and a vacant expression, Urahara Kisuke looked at the battlefield.
"One thing many overlook about you is that you're not only a monster, but even if someone puts you in danger, there are many girls who would gladly give their lives to protect yours..."
Urahara Kisuke had made sure to take care of that before fighting Allen. He was a chilling man, more due to his intelligence than his power, and had kept the Visoreds captured for one hundred and ten years, using resources and time. But they were nothing more than a distraction, a method to keep those dangerous women, the so-called dolls, away from Allen.
Of course, Urahara didn't know with certainty that this plan would work, especially with the dolls that wouldn't move away from Allen, so it was also a gamble. Luckily, Artoria, Esdeath, 2B, Rebecca, and the new doll Albedo had moved away from Allen, allowing Urahara to use "opening isolation."
"Allen Walker... this is just the beginning, let me show you what I'm capable of..."
...
Allen gritted his teeth as Zaraki lunged at him. His domain had been destroyed, this time by Zaraki's modified zanpakuto.
But who was Allen? Do they really think they can take his head with just a trick or two?!
"Domain Expansion: Fukuna Mizusu (Malevolent Kitchen/Malevolent Temple)"
Zaraki was attacked by thousands of instant cuts, but his body withstood them by covering himself with his massive spiritual energy. However, Allen didn't give up and increased the number of cuts on Zaraki.
"If you want to die so much, I'll give you the pleasure!"
Little by little, Zaraki was overwhelmed by the cuts, which began to surpass his defense and injure him. Allen wouldn't have any regrets, even if he became minced meat.
"AAAHHHHHHHGGG!!!"
*Crack*
"...?!"
Allen opened his eyes, 'Did this really happen with such timing?!'
The fight with Zaraki was already intense and dangerous, but at that moment, Allen felt a warning from Divine Comedy. The sky cracked, and an intense wave of heat flooded the Seireitei.
Allen summoned his second zanpakuto in his left hand.
"I really didn't think the Dark Wood would stop you forever..."
The crack in the sky grew larger as hell seemed to fall from the heavens, as ironic as that sounds. Everyone was frightened as they saw the eyes of a gigantic monster. Some people turned pale upon seeing such a creature appear out of nowhere, but the shock grew even greater as smoke began to rise, along with the smell of burnt flesh.
The eyes were those of a gigantic lion, the people did not have long to be alarmed because they soon saw something that was even more incredible.
That monster was already dead, someone or something had decapitated it, and its head fell through the crevice outside the Seireitei. It was as huge as a mountain, and its fall caused a huge tremor, shaking the Seireitei, which was already damaged by the various battles.
A figure emerged from the crack, and for the first time, it was not bad news for the Shinigami, as it was accompanied by an intense, incandescent Reiatsu that everyone could detect.
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni had returned. His body bore some wounds; facing the accumulation of violence and his sin of pride over thousands of years had not been easy. However, despite his injuries, his Reiatsu was still at its peak.
Yamamoto scanned the Seireitei, and his gaze filled with surprise. The man who had seen more Shinigami be born and die than anyone else now stood in the sky, watching as four of the previous generation's captains had turned into monsters. Yamamoto gritted his teeth, filled with rage.
"Captain Yamamoto..."
A butterfly appeared next to Yamamoto, Genryusai, and he recognized the voice immediately.
"Urahara Kisuke?"
Let's remember that at this moment, Urahara was a captain of the Gotei 13, who had never given Yamamoto any reason to suspect him.
"Right now, I have the young man who sealed you off, isolated, along with Zaraki..."
"Zaraki, is that the man you mentioned?"
"Yes, I'm sure he'll be an excellent captain once he learns a few lessons from you..."
"His power is worthy of succeeding you..."
Yamamoto Genryusai had remained Captain Commander not by chance. He believed that eventually, future generations would surpass the past ones. However, after a thousand years, that had not happened. No talented Shinigami, genius, or monster had been at a power level capable of replacing Yamamoto Genryusai.
"Urahara Kisuke... we'll discuss that later. Tell me the situation..."
"Yes, the captains were facing the invaders, but as you can see, there are more intruders than we thought. Also, the missing captains and lieutenants... they came back as Hollows..."
"How unfortunate... do you have any clues as to who is responsible so we can burn them to the bone?!"
"No... I'm not sure..." Urahara paused as if there were one last doubt about what he was about to say. However, his gaze cleared that momentary doubt. "But I found Yoruichi Shihoin wandering around the Seireitei..."
"I see..."
Urahara could feel the anger building in Yamamoto.
...
Kyoraku and Ukitake smiled as they felt their master's Reiatsu.
Kyoraku attacked Kratos, breaking the temporary truce.
"I guess the break is over..."
"Kratos-san, you're quite considerate for waiting. Now I can fight you with my full focus..."
...
Komamura was in a bad situation, as Thor was beating him down, but he seemed to gain a power boost. His Reiatsu grew, and his Bankai grabbed his sword and struck at Thor. Thor smiled as he swung his hammer, surrounded by massive amounts of electricity.
The clash of both attacks shook the Seireitei.
...
Unohana observed the sky while Love Aikawa lay on the ground, regenerating his wounds.
"It seems he's back..."
There was a look of determination in her eyes. She hoped not to have to face Yamamoto due to their long history, but right now, she couldn't allow him to interfere with Allen. She didn't know the current situation of the fight, but before Allen left, he had a serious look, which meant his current opponent shouldn't be weak.
Just when Unohana was about to leave, she raised her zanpakuto to block an attack heading toward her.
"I'm sorry, but I can't let you interfere, Captain Unohana."
"Ichimaru-kun..."
The genius of the previous generation to Hitsugaya, a fox-like captain who held an impressive title, as in the original story, he was never defeated by the protagonist despite facing him on multiple occasions. He had also been able to endanger Aizen Sosuke, and people theorized he definitely had enormous potential as a captain.
Unfortunately, he was on the wrong side of both worlds...
"Ichimaru-kun, are you going to stop me?"
Unohana's gaze turned threatening. At this moment, stopping her would mean putting her future husband in danger, something she would not take lightly.
Ichimaru Gin, with a drop of sweat on his cheek, smiled. "Sorry, but now that you're an enemy of the Seireitei, I have to do this..."
Unohana's gaze wavered for a moment. It was true that, despite Ichimaru's actions, he wasn't doing anything wrong from the perspective of a Gotei 13 captain.
But that didn't matter...
Unohana's Reiatsu spread like a pool of cursed blood...
"That's true, but it doesn't change the fact that you're in my way..."
Gin thought ruefully, 'Does Captain Urahara really have to be so hard on me?... He forces me to do such dangerous things...'
Stopping an angry Unohana Yachiru?
Most captains would die in the first clash against her, but "that" Ichimaru Gin... he could definitely do it. Both Urahara, who ordered him, and Aizen, who watched from a screen, had full confidence in Ichimaru's abilities. Aizen had been able to keep Ichimaru so close despite knowing his intentions against him because he was worthy of it.
Aizen – However, this puts Allen in an even worse situation...
...
Just as Aizen said, while Allen had his domain at 200% of its limit to make mincemeat of Zaraki, another enemy appeared. One that was also at the level of war potential.
Allen watched as a fireball approached at a terrifying speed, glanced at Zaraki, who was still resisting being annihilated and clicked his tongue.
Unable to avoid it, Allen deactivated his domain and summoned Divine Comedy to deal with the incoming attack.
It was as if the water had dried up and the sun itself descended, as Allen received the attack of the oldest and most powerful fire zanpakuto, Ryujin Jakka.
When the swords clashed, a wave of heat melted part of the ground and burned all the surrounding vegetation.
"I see you came out quickly..." Allen said with disdain.
"Brat, I've come to settle a debt!" Yamamoto responded angrily.
The Reiatsu clashed, and Allen summoned his other zanpakuto to strike at Yamamoto. Yamamoto moved away as Allen caught his breath.
Yamamoto looked at the wound on Allen's chest with surprise and then turned toward Zaraki, who had come out of his Bankai state and was kneeling with one knee on the ground, leaning on his zanpakuto.
"Don't interfere, old man..." Zaraki said. He had many wounds but was angry with Yamamoto for getting involved in his fight.
Yamamoto looked at the peculiar Shinigami. His Reiatsu was as large as Unohana's, and that was after he should've been weakened by so many attacks.
"So this is Zaraki..."
Yamamoto nodded in approval. "I have unfinished business with the Ryoka, so I can't withdraw..."
"Shut up, it's my fight!"
"Brat, he's a criminal of the Seireitei, I'll handle it."
Allen narrowed his eyes at seeing them argue over who would kill him. Now, he had two potential war threats in front of him and a third who was interfering with his connection to the dolls.
Allen had always been known for keeping his calm in the worst situations, but he couldn't help but feel more and more irritated.
"You're both making me angry..."
