In addition, when Abarai Renji defeated Ishida Uryū in seconds, there were some specific comments that also made Haschwalth very concerned.
'Yhwach said it was awesome!!'
'How could someone like Ishida Uryū be favored by Yhwach?!'
He began asking other Quincy for their opinions.
"Why is His Majesty mentioned in the comments?"
"I thought that in today's world, no one knew the name of the Quincy, let alone His Majesty's name."
"Could this be related to our future actions? After all, these comments often carry information about the future!"
Lille Barro folded his arms confidently:
"Isn't this normal? After all, His Majesty is about to regain his full power, and then it will be time for us to launch our counterattack against Soul Society! From now on, the names of we Quincy will once again be renowned throughout all worlds!"
Other Quincy also shouted enthusiastically:
"Exactly! In the future, there may be no such thing as Shinigami. Everyone will only know the Quincy!"
"Long live His Majesty!"
"I hope His Majesty can lead us to our revenge soon!"
"Maybe soon there will be famous scenes featuring us Quincy!"
"There aren't many scenes left with these Shinigami!"
"We can easily destroy these worthless Shinigami—Rokuguruma Kensei, Hinamori Momo, Kuchiki Byakuya, and Kurosaki Ichigo!"
At this time, the Quincy were in a state of tremendous anticipation!
They now believed that the day of attacking Soul Society and destroying the Shinigami was just around the corner!
The scene continued playing.
Abarai Renji was about to finish off the defeated Ishida Uryū!
Fortunately, at this moment, Kurosaki Ichigo also arrived just in time, his spiritual pressure bursting forth and forcing Abarai Renji to retreat.
He adopted the same dramatic style as Ishida Uryū:
"I am Kurosaki Ichigo, and I'm here to defeat you! Please guide me!"
After seeing Ichigo's Zanpakutō, Abarai Renji was very puzzled.
Why is this guy's Zanpakutō so enormous?
After observing, Abarai Renji realized that Ichigo was the one who had taken away Rukia's Shinigami powers, and immediately engaged him in battle!
After being wounded by Ichigo due to carelessness, Abarai Renji indignantly demanded to know the name of Ichigo's Zanpakutō!
Ichigo didn't know that Zanpakutō had names, and was very confused.
Upon hearing this, Abarai Renji became even more disdainful of Ichigo!
Tsk!
Trash who doesn't even know his Zanpakutō's name!
So Abarai Renji quickly released his Shikai!
"Howl, Zabimaru!!!"
Renji's Zanpakutō transformed into a segmented whip-sword that could extend and retract freely, with tremendous reach!
With the powerful Zabimaru, Abarai Renji seriously wounded Kurosaki Ichigo.
However, Ichigo quickly stood up and resumed fighting after Rukia's encouraging shout.
BUZZ!!!!
His spiritual energy suddenly expanded, and he flash-stepped behind Abarai Renji, seriously injuring Renji in one devastating blow!
Renji was face-slapped and left hanging by a thread!
Just as Ichigo was about to continue his attack, his sword was unknowingly broken by Kuchiki Byakuya, who had been observing the battle nearby.
The speed was so incredible it was almost unimaginable!
When Ichigo looked surprised, the next second, Kuchiki Byakuya used his signature Shunpo technique to quickly appear behind him.
Like a phantom, like a ghost!
SHING!!
In just one exchange, Ichigo was already coughing blood and collapsing to the ground.
At this moment, he was completely helpless before Kuchiki Byakuya!
Comments floated past at this time:
'How funny! Renji had the nerve to mock Ichigo for not knowing his Zanpakutō's name'
'Is Renji a pocket knife against Ichigo's machete?'
'Ichigo started powering up so quickly—is this when White Ichigo came online?'
'Of course, Renji was a bit reckless in the early stages, and his strength was restricted by 80%, so it's understandable he lost to Ichigo'
'As expected of Captain Kuchiki—really very cool!'
'After all, this is the Shunpo inherited from Flash Goddess Yoruichi!'
'Simply an early-game boss!'
'No helping it—the gap is too huge!'
'Remember Byakuya's Shunpo; you'll need it in the future. Ichigo will get his revenge eventually!'
'Byakuya vs Ichigo—I still hold a grudge!'
After witnessing this scene, countless people were slightly surprised.
[Kurosaki Ichigo]: This is actually my past. It's really embarrassing.
[Unohana Retsu]: It seems Ichigo was still too weak at this point, which shows he's indeed growing very rapidly.
[Zaraki Kenpachi]: But his performance is truly extraordinary—he's made breakthroughs in numerous battles. This is the opponent I long for! This is the kindred spirit I've been waiting for!
[Unohana Retsu]: ...
[Hitsugaya Tōshirō]: He didn't even know his Zanpakutō's name initially and was defeated by Renji instantly. Then, mere seconds later, he stood up and defeated Renji... From being instantly killed by Captain Byakuya to being able to clash with Captain Byakuya in Soul Society—this improvement speed makes me ashamed.
[Hirako Shinji]: It's like he's using cheats. The power within his body is truly bizarre.
[Suì-Fēng]: He's only been training for such a short time—how did he improve so quickly?
The Shinigami now began witnessing the journey of the young man Kurosaki Ichigo.
[Aizen Sōsuke]: Of course, Kurosaki Ichigo has considerable potential. I've been keeping watch over him! Such an opponent is indeed very suitable for his training.
Aizen's expression at this moment was as kind as a loving father.
Ichigo Kurosaki's cheat-like journey?
This is my own educational curriculum!
[Komamura Sajin]: Aizen, you have no right to speak here!
[Ichimaru Gin]: Let me remind you—based on information shown in previous screens, do you still think Soul Society's discovery of Kuchiki Rukia was accidental? In reality, it was all arranged by Captain Aizen!
[Ulquiorra Cifer]: Aizen-sama is indeed a man of tremendous foresight, planning ten steps ahead before taking even one!
[Kuchiki Byakuya]: ...
[Abarai Renji]: ...
[Kuchiki Rukia]: ...
Listening to Aizen's faction's words, Soul Society pretended to be deaf and mute.
Although combining this with what Aizen had said previously, they all felt uneasy at this moment.
It was as if Aizen's eyes were beside them, constantly monitoring them...
This feeling was so unpleasant!
What was worse than doing something wrong was doing something wrong under the enemy's arrangements...
This made them feel as though they had become Aizen's puppets previously, without even knowing it.
Soon, the scene stopped abruptly and switched to the next sequence.
In Soul Society!
Before Sōkyoku Hill!
Abarai Renji ran frantically, about to save Kuchiki Rukia!
But at this moment, his captain appeared!
BOOM!
From the high tower, Kuchiki Byakuya suddenly descended!
He used his spiritual pressure to intimidate Abarai Renji from a distance!
His eyes were cold, as if looking down at an ant!
After Byakuya used his signature Shunpo, Abarai Renji barely managed to dodge.
At this point, he believed he was capable of fighting his captain!
So, under Byakuya's slightly surprised gaze, Abarai Renji activated his Bankai!!
BUZZ!!!!!
Tremendous spiritual pressure was suddenly released!
"Hihiō Zabimaru!!"
Abarai Renji declared that he must go save Rukia, and for this, he was willing to fight against Kuchiki Byakuya!
"My body can now keep up with you! Captain Kuchiki, your sword can no longer kill me!"
"Let me surpass you!"
"If you won't agree to let me pass, I'll kill you!!!"
At this moment, Abarai Renji, having recently mastered Bankai, was somewhat overconfident.
First, he began setting flags!
Upon hearing this, Kuchiki Byakuya simply smiled coldly and, not to be outdone, followed Renji in flag-setting:
"You can't even make me kneel down!!!"
As soon as these words were spoken, two members of the Face-Slap Squad—Abarai Renji and Kuchiki Byakuya—began their fierce battle!
While fighting, they also utilized their taunting skills to the fullest and kept trash-talking.
At this moment, the mysterious voice of the golden screen sounded again.
[DING!! Question time begins!]
[Please listen to the question:]
[In the upcoming battle, which Shinigami will get slapped in the face?]
[Those who answer correctly will receive point rewards!]
Upon hearing this, everyone in the chat group was very surprised!
[Kurotsuchi Mayuri]: Well, it's bad enough that I got face-slapped before, but now we have to predict who gets slapped next—this is a double face-slap!
[Nemu Kurotsuchi]: This question really has quite poor taste!
[Kuchiki Byakuya]: ...
[Abarai Renji]: Captain, we both set flags just now... this is not looking good...
[Zaraki Kenpachi]: Haha! I love this question! Someone's definitely getting their pride crushed!
[Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni]: The pattern seems clear—those who boast most confidently tend to fall hardest.
[Kyōraku Shunsui]: Both of them just made very bold declarations... this could go either way.
[Ukitake Jūshirō]: Based on previous patterns, whoever seems more confident is probably doomed.
[Aizen Sōsuke]: How entertaining. Pride truly does come before the fall, doesn't it?
