Infinite World: Random Characters, Start with Red Archer

"You guys chased me so hard before!"

"It's time to return it today."

The captains, each holding their own vice-captains, saw Mo Xuluo's swaggering figure and knew who had launched the attack.

"Ichigo..."

Protected behind her, Rukia looked at the strangely pale-faced man with concern.

Although she was confined to the Repentance Palace during this period, she was occasionally informed about the situation outside.

So she also knew that there was a very powerful Hollow who had been surrounded and attacked by the captains several times but had not been killed.

"Don't worry... it's nothing serious."

In response, Ichigo merely turned his head slightly and offered her a word of comfort.

"It will be over in an instant..."

Rukia felt a sense of unfamiliarity with that confident tone.

She had never seen Ichigo so confident.

Even back then, I only thought this kid was a bit reckless and unreliable.

But for some reason, seeing it now makes me feel incredibly at ease.

"Ok?"

Toshiro put down Rangiku and looked at Byakuya, who had taken the initiative to walk forward, and was taken aback.

"Leave the troubles of the journey to me."

"You can handle the problem."

His proactive attitude in volunteering made his meaning clear to the team leaders.

Having a connection with Ichigo Kurosaki, Byakuya Kuchiki probably wanted to use this opportunity to make a clean break.

With the appearance of that Hollow, they were able to focus on dealing with it.

"Hmph...then I'll kill you all first!"

Seeing the captains closing in and surrounding him, Mo Xuluo snorted disdainfully.

Meanwhile, Byakuya bypassed the motionless Yamamoto and confronted Ichigo.

"You barely escaped with your life, are you just going to throw it away for no reason?"

Having pulled out the Thousand Cherry Blossoms, Byakuya spoke harshly, but he did not let his guard down.

But Ichigo had no interest in engaging in verbal sparring with him; he figured it would be easier to take the other down first before talking.

"Byakuya Kuchiki... for Rukia's sake."

"I'll give you the chance to draw your sword and use Bankai..."

That unusually arrogant tone greatly displeased Kuchiki Byakuya.

The guy I took down with a single stab a while ago is now daring to spout nonsense.

They defeated several vice-captains and destroyed Shuangji, yet they remained so arrogant and ignorant...

How ridiculous!

"I don't even need to use the swastika to deal with you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Byakuya suddenly widened his eyes.

Because...

Ichigo appeared in front of him without him noticing, and a short blade was already at his neck.

The other person simply repeated a sentence...

Say it again...

"I'll give you the chance to use Bankai..."

51. The Sword of the End (Paverschlev)!

"Say it again..."

"I'll give you a chance to use Bankai..."

It must be said that such arrogant words would make the opponent feel humiliated.

Despite having a clear opportunity to defeat the enemy, they allowed him to unleash even greater power.

This is clearly an act of excessive arrogance and willfulness.

But Ichigo's sudden movement to stand in front of Rukia made Byakuya Kuchiki realize that he was serious.

This wasn't a joke; it was a demand made with the attitude of "go all out."

"Fine, I admit you have the power to threaten me..."

"But there is absolutely no way you can defeat me."

Ichigo's Zanpakuto was different from the ones he had seen before, so in Byakuya Kuchiki's view, Ichigo was only suppressing him because he had the advantage of using Bankai first.

Although it's unclear how Ichigo managed to master Bankai in such a short time, it's not impossible if Yoruichi Shifūin was assisting him.

If I perform Bankai, I won't be in such a state of panic as before, with a knife to my neck.

"I'll make you regret not attacking directly earlier..."

"Swastika... Senbonzakura Jingyan..."

The blade transformed into pink petals that danced in the air.

At this moment, his spiritual pressure experienced a leap in improvement.

The speed at which you can manipulate the petals is several times faster than usual.

For a Shinigami at the captain level, Bankai is their trump card.

Once it's used, it's enough to turn the tide of the battle...

This is how it should be...

"Sorry, I've already made plans with Rukia."

"It will be over in an instant."

Almost immediately after Bankai, the attack was launched.

The petals rained down, their relentless attack reflecting his serious attitude.

Byakuya Kuchiki truly wanted to defeat the intruder before him.

But in the blink of an eye, Ichigo's voice rang out, and the other person had already disappeared from in front of him.

"Varied……"

They couldn't detect that speed at all. Following the sound, they saw Ichigo appear behind them at some point.

"Pfft!"

"Chaos!"

As blood spurted and petals scattered, Byakuya Kuchiki collapsed to the ground.

"Uh……"

Seeing this, Rukia froze on the spot.

"It's alright, I didn't hit him hard, he just suffered an injury that will keep him from getting up for a while."

Perhaps fearing Rukia's worry, Ichigo returned to her side and explained.

"Ichigo, you..."

Upon hearing this, Rukia snapped out of her daze and even felt somewhat unfamiliar with him.

This is not about Ichigo's personality or character, but rather his decisive and formidable strength.

Ichigo was instantly knocked to the ground when he saw Byakuya, but now the tables have turned and Byakuya is the one who falls down instantly when he sees Ichigo.

It's only been a week or two since we last saw each other, but the difference is too big.

How could Rukia not feel like she was in a dream?

"Something a little unbelievable happened. I'll tell you about it when I have time."

Sensing the released spiritual pressure, Ichigo then turned to look ahead.

The body, its scars exposed, was revealed as the shirt was pulled down.

The strongest Grim Reaper in a thousand years...

The Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13...

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni!

"It seems you still don't want me to take Rukia away safely."

Ichigo then spoke to Yamamoto about Rukia throwing him off the cliff to be caught by her companions below.

"Kid..."

"How can you leave like this!"

Opening his eyes, Yamamoto brandished his burning blade and said in a deep voice.

He truly hadn't expected that this troubled young man would grow up to be this strong.

He instantly killed Byakuya Kuchiki of the Sixth Division.

Keep in mind that this was the captain after he had used his Bankai, not someone who was ambushed before he had fully unleashed his power.

Being able to easily defeat the captain head-on is a level of skill that cannot be described in ordinary words.

Both for public and private reasons, Yamamoto felt that he needed to take action himself.

Otherwise, even if another captain were in charge, they might not be able to hold on.

While tensions were rising on their side, the Demon Void Lord not far away was already giving many captains a headache.

"As expected, the medicine from last time is no longer effective."

"Is now the time to care about that kind of thing?"

Even so, this guy isn't so easy to deal with.

"He has been growing and becoming stronger."

Aside from Kenpachi charging in like a madman to hack and slash at the opponent, Toshiro can only scratch the surface and doesn't cause any trouble.

Kyoraku and Ukitake simply maintained their helpless expressions while still in their initial release.

The former's Bankai is not suitable for use in crowded situations, and Ukitake is more of a "reserve" and cannot actually fight.

Retsu Unohana didn't want to reveal her true nature, while Cocoon looked on as if she were observing a show.

Just as Byakuya collapsed, Yamamoto was confronting Ichigo when Soi Fon was kidnapped...

Currently, Gin Ichimaru is relatively free, but he will never reveal his Bankai to fight.

This has led to a very awkward situation...

Despite having a numerical advantage, the team leaders' performance in battle was far from satisfactory.

"What's wrong? It's not working at all."

As he withstood Kenpachi's slashes, Mo Xuluo sneered.

Just as he had thought, these captains were all show and no substance, and at this point they were hardly a threat to him anymore.

"Tch, it's pretty durable."

He increased the force, sending it flying backward. Kenpachi pursed his lips, his emotions rising instead.

"Hmph, I'll free you right away."

Ignoring Kenpachi's gradually increasing spiritual pressure, Makoro simply shouted with murderous intent.
