Why are all of us who transmigrated at the same time demons?

"But how can one not be attached to all the beauty in this world?"

Acquired turbidity—this phrase suddenly popped into Loran's mind.

Chapter 170 Death: The Incomplete God

Loran eventually agreed to the Spirit King's conditions; he didn't want to be trapped in this small Three Realms for the rest of his life.

However, the true nature of the Spirit King was somewhat beyond Loran's expectations.

From the beginning, Loran consistently compared the Lord of Armies in the Christian tradition to the Soul King, and the various cultural elements depicted in the original Death story also reflected the Soul King's attributes as a supreme god and God.

But after talking with the Spirit King, Loran felt that this guy was closer to the Three Gods of his third brother's family than the Lord of All Armies.

The supreme Brahman is regarded as the ultimate source of the universe (Adi Shakti). It is formless, indescribable, transcends time and space, and pervades all things. It is the absolute truth of "all things are one," while the Triads are different manifestations of Brahman.

Brahma represents the creative power of Brahman, who was born from the golden egg of the universe (Vishnu Buddhism says that Brahma came from the lotus in Vishnu's navel, while some sects that worship Shiva believe that Brahma was born from Shiva's lingam), thus creating heaven and earth and giving rise to all things.

Vishnu symbolizes the sustaining power of Brahman, taking it upon himself to protect the Dharma, and intervening in human crises through his ten emanations (such as Rama and Krishna).

Shiva embodies Brahman's power of destruction and regeneration, periodically destroying the decaying universe and driving the cycle of renewal.

Strictly speaking, the Soul King should have played the role of Vishnu, because in the original chaotic universe, the Hollows were just a link in the normal cycle of spiritual particles. However, after the Hollows began to devour souls for some unknown reason, the normal cycle of spiritual particles began to deviate from the right track. If this continued, all souls would eventually become an ultimate Hollow that devours everything.

This violated the normal trajectory of the original universe, so the guardian Vishnu, also known as the Spirit King, was born. Just as Rama with his axe destroyed the Kshatriyas who did not follow the righteous law, and the boar incarnate killed the Asura King who dragged the continent into the sea, the birth of the Spirit King was to bring the development of the universe back on track.

Therefore, the Soul King's power was not initially for creation (Brahma), but for destruction and protection (Vishnu).

The Spirit King's actions also demonstrated his nature as a guardian. He destroyed the ancient Void, but did not participate in the creation of the world, because creating a new universe was not his responsibility.

However, the other beings in the chaotic universe loathed the chaotic world without birth or death, so they devised a way to betray the spirit king who played the role of Vishnu, forcing him to assume the role of Brahma.

In reality, creation was not the Spirit King's forte. As a half-baked Brahma, he was left in a state of semi-death. The five primordial beings replaced the Spirit King's original role as guardians with the god of death, while they themselves took on the role of Vishnu to maintain this fragile world.

And who is Shiva of the chaotic universe? Loran received an answer from the Spirit King: it must be Hell.

Hell has existed since the beginning of chaos. If the ultimate void had not appeared, everything in the chaotic world should have fallen into hell, and after all sins were settled, the world would have been reborn.

But now, the five progenitors, with the help of the Spirit King, created the Three Realms, put a lid on Hell, and forcibly prolonged the life of the universe.

This is equivalent to creating a new universe within the original chaotic universe, and among the three principal deities of this new universe—Vishnu (the group of death gods) is not powerful enough, Brahma (the spirit king) is half-dead, and Shiva (hell) has yet to arrive.

Therefore, it can be said that the world of Bleach runs on a bunch of bugs. This mountain of crap code will crash as soon as it is slightly modified. So the world of Bleach is constantly facing the threat of world destruction and needs to rely on mass killing to maintain balance.

But as long as it can be maintained, let the system continue to operate like this!

Don't change it. What if it causes problems?

The primordial will of creation of the universe has deviated at some point. According to the normal laws of the universe, it should have separated from the world after the creation was completed (just like Brahma, the Hindu religion generally does not respect Brahma because they believe that Brahma has completed his mission and is no longer the supreme being). However, it is now trying its best to prevent the final destruction of the universe.

Therefore, He sacrificed Vishnu, the Spirit King, to delay Shiva's arrival. The Spirit King was willing to sacrifice himself because His divinity as a guardian deity itself resisted destruction.

All of this is the result of divine dominance. Since the birth of the void that devours souls, the primordial universe has begun to deviate from the laws established at the time of its birth.

But now, after millions of years of imprisonment, the Spirit King is no longer the pure god he once was. He still loves life and the universe, but he is tired, and he has developed some selfish desires, wanting to find someone to succeed him.

However, the primordial chaos will would not allow it; it wanted to keep everything in place and would not allow the Spirit King to abscond. The five progenitors shared the same will as the primordial chaos. Although the five progenitors eventually entered hell, the monk, as their successor, faithfully carried out the last instructions of the five progenitors.

The Spirit King's idea of ​​transcendence (escape) was to deceive and ambush the old comrade, the Primordial Chaos Will.

He planned to find someone in the Three Realms who could completely inherit his power and take over his position. Once the Primordial Will realized what was happening, He would have someone to report back to. It was a fait accompli; he was just skipping work, so do whatever he wanted!

However, both Yhwach and Ichigo Kurosaki are still a step behind, quite a distance from Him. If they were caught by the Primal Will after skipping class, they might not be so easy to talk to.

But when Loran arrived, the Spirit King thought they could cooperate to create a more perfect replacement for the Spirit King, and then escape before the Primordial Will could even react.

Once those two escape the realm of the chaotic universe, what will they have to be afraid of?

Among the many candidates for Soul King, Soul King values ​​Yhwach more, while Loran values ​​the original protagonist, Ichigo Kurosaki more.

However, Loran was not entirely satisfied with the script that the Spirit King had initially written, so he personally wrote a new script for the Spirit King.

Ichigo Kurosaki is playing the "twins sitting on the throne" role, while Yhwach is... still playing the original role, mainly because the Soul King says He wants to keep one as a backup.

Yhwach's script was the result of his "omniscience and omnipotence" deliberations many times. It might not have yielded the best outcome, but it provided a basic guarantee that at least He could be released from this damned prison of the Spirit King's Palace.

Therefore, He passed on the training of Ichigo Kurosaki to Loran, and then personally oversaw the upbringing of his son Yhwach.

Chapter 171 Death God: Bloodlust

“Even though he has mastered Bankai, he is still just a little bit short of being like Byakuya Kuchiki.” Kurosaki Ichigo’s body was covered in blood from the sharp Senbonzakura blades, and a glint of light flashed in his amber eyes.

"That's the only way to use it!"

Ichigo Kurosaki recalled a secret technique that Ichiro Kurosaki had taught him during their last conversation.

“Brother, do you know? All souls in this world have limits, and these limits are often determined at the moment of birth.” Kurosaki Kazuyuki smiled, like a little fox.

“But my brother is different. The limits he sees are just false limits. The true power is still hidden deep in his soul, waiting to be discovered. The secret technique I’m going to teach him is the one that can extract the divine blood within him.”

"Its name is 'Bloodlust,' an unparalleled power capable of shattering the boundary between gods and non-gods!"

"Let's embark on the path to godhood, brother!"

Ichigo Kurosaki took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and completely immersed himself in the depths of his soul. He recalled the method taught to him by Professor Kazuyuki Kurosaki, focusing his mind on feeling the golden glow hidden deep within his soul.

As he focused, the radiance gradually became clearer, as if awakened, and began to emit a dazzling light. Kurosaki Ichigo's soul also seemed to be ignited, burning fiercely and radiating a scorching aura.

His blood seemed to be affected as well, surging and roaring through his veins as if trying to break free from his body's constraints. Everything in the world lost its color in Ichigo Kurosaki's eyes, leaving only black and white, while deep within his gaze, the golden light, like molten lava, shone even brighter.

"Bloodlust!" Kurosaki Ichigo suddenly shouted, his voice booming like thunder in his ears. Immediately afterward, his body trembled violently as if struck by a powerful force.

In an instant, a layer of fine, blue-white scales emerged from beneath his skin, covering his entire body. These scales resembled both ethereal bone armor and dragon scales, shimmering with a cold light and giving an impression of indestructibility.

Ichigo Kurosaki felt as if an endless power was surging within his body, a power so strong that he could barely control it. But he was not overwhelmed by this power; instead, he focused his mind and tried to tame this raging force.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!" A series of crisp, rapid sounds rang out, as if countless tiny metal fragments were violently struck against a hard metal block. The sound echoed in the air, sending a chill down one's spine.

Senbonzakura Kageyoshi's blades rained down on Kurosaki Ichigo like a storm, but surprisingly, these sharp blades were completely unable to penetrate Kurosaki Ichigo's skin's defenses. Each strike was like hitting an impenetrable wall, producing a crisp clanging sound before being mercilessly deflected.

Kuchiki Byakuya's eyes narrowed sharply as he stared in disbelief at the scene before him. It was utterly unbelievable that Kurosaki Ichigo's skin could withstand his Senbonzakura Kageyoshi.

"What is this? Hollow steel?" Kuchiki Byakuya muttered to himself, his heart filled with doubt and shock.

Kurosaki Ichigo moved, his movements as swift as lightning, as if he had left time behind. This step was like a black lightning bolt slicing through the night sky, instantly bringing him close to Kuchiki Byakuya.

The Zangetsu in his hand was like the darkest part of the night sky, its swing carrying endless pressure that sent chills down one's spine. The strike was so fast that no one could react; Kurosaki Ichigo had already entered Senbonzakura's invulnerability zone, and Kuchiki Byakuya didn't even have time to mobilize his powerful Senbonzakura to defend.

However, Byakuya Kuchiki was, after all, an experienced Shinigami, and he was not rendered useless simply by losing his Zanpakuto. He was proficient in all forms of combat, including swordplay, fist fighting, and demonic possession, and in this critical moment, he quickly devised a countermeasure.

Without hesitation, he abandoned his incantation and unleashed the 81st Binding Spell: Sky Breaker, placing it in front of him to form a solid defensive barrier. This was the best method he could think of in this emergency, hoping to withstand Ichigo Kurosaki's terrifying strike.

Unfortunately, Ichigo Kurosaki's strike was simply too fast and too powerful, as if it could cleave the heavens and earth in two. The black blade light, like a shooting star in the night, crashed into the void with unparalleled force.

With a crisp "crack," the broken sword instantly crumbled before this immense force, turning into countless fragments of spiritual particles that scattered in the air. But Kurosaki Ichigo's strike did not stop there; it continued forward, like a ferocious beast, lunging straight for Kuchiki Byakuya's chest.

Kuchiki Byakuya's eyes widened as he watched the approaching blade, a sense of foreboding washing over him. But he was powerless to mount any further defense and could only watch helplessly as the sword slashed down on his chest.

With a dull thud, Ichigo Kurosaki's sword pierced deeply into Byakuya Kuchiki's body, leaving a gaping wound in his chest. Blood gushed from the wound like a fountain, splattering onto the ground and forming a gruesome pool.

Fortunately, the air-breaking technique provided a buffer, preventing the cut from going too deep. Otherwise, given Ichigo Kurosaki's strength, this strike could have easily cleaved Byakuya Kuchiki in two.

But now is not the time to be happy. Kurosaki Ichigo's sword came at him again. The weight of the sword and the speed of the swordsmanship were completely different from a few breaths ago.

"What exactly happened?" Kuchiki Byakuya's usually icy face was filled with astonishment and disbelief.

On the other side of the battlefield, Loran simply sat there casually, observing the fight between the two.

Mirror Flower Water Moon is so useful.jpg

While using the illusion of the universe to deceive the senses of the entire Seireitei, Loran observed Kurosaki's state.

As for the monk who was originally someone to be wary of? Now Loran is no longer wary of him. Since making contact with the Spirit King, in order to allow the Spirit King to gain more autonomy, Loran went to the Spirit King's palace to meet him in person. During this process, he physically corrected the monk's memories and copied the monk's Zanpakuto "Ichimonji".

Under the double veil of deception by Loran and the Spirit King, the monk's prized divine eye was practically blind, unless the two of them wanted him to see it.

At the same time, Loran directly shattered the Quincy will that was originally within Kurosaki Ichigo's body—a will that was extremely controlling and enigmatic—as well as the Hollow will that constantly uttered "Instinct Ta!" and never got to the point, and reassembled it into Kurosaki Kazuyuki.

However, while Kurosaki Ichigo has the necessary stats, he still lacks a certain mechanism in order to truly replace the Soul King and defeat Yhwach.

Therefore, having thoroughly studied the Quincy, Loran decided to activate the Holy Script power deep within Kurosaki's soul, giving Kurosaki, who had only ever known how to hack and slash, a new mechanism.

The sacred letter A, "Aegis," signifies divine protection.

When the thought of protecting arises in Ichigo Kurosaki's mind, this firm belief transforms into his strength, helping him overcome difficulties. The stronger the belief in protecting, the more powerful this assistance becomes.

This mechanism is indeed a good match for Aizen's Hogyoku, so Loran, based on the sacred script deep within Kurosaki Ichigo's soul, and imitating the "wish fulfillment" power of Aizen's Hogyoku, created the so-called "Blood of God," which is Kurosaki Ichigo's "power." At the same time, Kurosaki Ichigo can gradually control the "power" represented by Kurosaki Ichiyuki by following the so-called "Burst Blood" secret technique.

When "power" and "strength" are combined, well... it just seems to make Kurosaki-kun chop even more satisfying!

Within Ichigo Kurosaki, golden "blood of the gods" was flowing, almost transforming his eyes into dazzling, sacred golden pupils.

"I want to protect Rukia, and not only that, I also want to bring Chad, Ishida, and Inoue back to the real world."

As Ichigo Kurosaki's resolve to protect grew stronger, the "blood of the gods" pumped out ever more powerful energy, and Ichigo Kurosaki watched with delight as the power he represented was continuously absorbed by Ichigo, propelling him to even greater heights.

With each strike, the originally black and red Crescent Moon Blade was almost transformed into a golden crescent moon blade aura. Senbonzakura Kageyoshi was completely unable to resist this terrifying power, and Kuchiki Byakuya was forced to retreat steadily.

"Even the final White Emperor Sword has been defeated!" Kuchiki Byakuya, covered in blood, collapsed helplessly to the ground.

He struggled to his feet, his dignity as a representative of the five noble families not allowing him to be so disheveled in front of a mere fugitive, but his strength had already been completely exhausted in the face of Kurosaki Ichigo's terrifying offensive.

Byakuya Kuchiki felt his vision blurring; he knew he had lost too much blood.

Kurosaki Ichigo glanced at the exhausted Kuchiki Byakuya, then turned and left without continuing to fight.

"Wait!" Byakuya Kuchiki felt a strange sense of shame, a shame that gave him the strength to stand up again. "Are you looking down on me?"

Kurosaki Ichigo turned his head and glanced at him sideways, his eyes full of indifference.

"No, I came to Soul Society to save people, not to kill them!"

After saying that, he turned into a black shadow and chased after Renji and Rukia in the direction they had fled, leaving the silent Kuchiki Byakuya standing on the broken mound.

Chapter 172 Bleach: Aizen Escapes Soul Society

"Kill her, Silver!"

Aizen, holding Rukia Kuchiki by the back of her collar as if she were a small dog, gave Gin Ichimaru the order to kill him.

"Yes, Captain Aizen!"

Silver, like a venomous snake with its eyes half-closed, extended its forked tongue without hesitation.

Shinsho is the fastest Zanpakuto in Soul Society. If he wanted to, he could kill Rukia Kuchiki in an instant. But at this moment, he felt a spiritual pressure rapidly approaching.

"So it's you! My dear Ryuka, the one Captain Aizen is keeping a close eye on!"

Gin Ichimaru's movements slowed almost imperceptibly for a second, and then a dark shadow pounced, and Rukia Kuchiki, whom Aizen was carrying, disappeared without a trace.

"Yijigu!"

Rukia Kuchiki cried out in surprise and delight.

Like a knight rescuing a princess from the jaws of a dragon, Kurosaki Ichigo makes a dazzling entrance. He smiles confidently; he is no longer the same person he once was, and he feels incredibly powerful now.

"Idiot! That's the mastermind behind all this turmoil in Soul Society, Ichigo! The opponent is stronger than you can imagine! Don't do anything rash!" Renji shouted in a panic. Having just been slashed by Aizen, he knew all too well how terrifying Aizen's true strength was.

Ichigo Kurosaki bravely charged forward, and now he's incredibly brave!

The golden-red crescent moon, like a burning blazing moon, drew a dazzling arc in the sky. Its brilliance was so dazzling that it drew everyone's attention, and its powerful spiritual pressure swept over like a surging wave.

Aizen, standing not far away, wore a faint smile. He seemed to have anticipated this scene and had even planned in his mind how to show off in front of everyone.

Based on his observation and analysis of the child, although the attack was incredibly powerful, he could easily block it with just a finger. After all, in his eyes, the child's strength was far from posing a threat to him.

However, when Aizen truly sensed the terrifying spiritual pressure contained within Getsuga Tenshou, his expression instantly turned serious. He was astonished to discover that this child's strength was far greater than he had imagined!

"When did this kid become so reckless?" Aizen cursed inwardly, realizing his earlier assessment was completely wrong. If he insisted on using only one finger to catch the blade, he would not only fail to stop it but would also have his finger severed by the terrifying force.

With the situation urgent, Aizen had no time to think and quickly changed his strategy. His outstretched fingers instantly transformed into a palm, and he simultaneously increased his spiritual pressure output, catching the sword with his bare hands.

Kurosaki Ichigo was filled with disbelief that the sword that had been able to cut down Kuchiki Byakuya could be caught by this bespectacled man with his bare hands.

Aizen breathed a sigh of relief; he almost messed up his attempt to show off, but luckily he reacted quickly.

Everyone else was amazed by Aizen's terrifying strength, but only Gin Ichimaru felt that something was amiss.

"Just now...did Aizen only want to extend one finger?"

Gin Ichimaru was somewhat unsure, after all, he never expected that Aizen, who was always so shrewd and resourceful, would stumble on such a small display of bravado.

Aizen finally got serious this time. He unleashed a slash that was barely visible to the naked eye, instantly cutting down Ichigo Kurosaki.
