Multiverse Ranking: Starting with Yuta Okkotsu

Squad One.

Tōshirō Hitsugaya's expression changed, and he blurted out:

"Disrupting perception?"

"Isn't his Kyōka Suigetsu a water-type Zanpakutō, using mist and flowing water..."

But before he could finish speaking, he stopped and sucked in a cold breath!

Clearly, he had already understood something!

Shunsui Kyōraku sighed and said:

"It seems that, in this matter, our dear Captain of Squad Five also deceived every one of us."

After sighing, he analyzed:

"Judging from Yhwach's reaction, this should be an ability that disrupts the enemy's sensory nerves, something similar to hypnosis."

"This is truly troublesome."

Ukitake frowned and asked in confusion:

"Why do you say that?"

"If our eyes can't be trusted, we can use Reiatsu perception."

Shunsui Kyōraku shook his head, his expression serious.

"Let's not even mention the incomprehensible power of him being able to disrupt Yhwach's perception while sealed!"

"Besides that, did any of you see him release his Shikai?"

"And are you certain what you sense with Reiatsu is real?"

"How do you know that isn't what he wants you to feel!?"

Hearing these three questions, several people felt a chill in their hearts!

Then they all looked toward Kenpachi Zaraki at the same time!

If this guy was hypnotized and saw his teammates as enemies, it would simply be a disaster!

This time, even the Captain-Commander frowned slightly.

The future was far too pessimistic!

Accompanied by the bell ringing from the invisible place, the Quincy began retreating into the shadows!

But at that moment, Ichigo Kurosaki, who had been buried in the ruins, let out an angry roar toward Yhwach's back:

"Stop! After turning Soul Society into this, you think I'll let you leave!?"

He could not accept such an ending!

He could not tolerate the enemy leaving so indifferently!

In the next second, he used all his strength and charged toward the other party!

Yhwach merely walked calmly into the shadows, not even turning his head to look back!

And behind him, Haschwalth swung his sword the instant Ichigo Kurosaki charged over!

In an instant, the sound of something breaking rang out, and Ichigo froze like a statue!

In his hand, the already chipped Tensa Zangetsu was now completely cut in two!

"It... It broke!"

Rukia's body trembled.

She knew what that blade represented to a Soul Reaper, to a warrior.

Especially Ichigo's gaze. It made her feel an inexplicable pain in her heart.

"Farewell, Ichigo Kurosaki."

"One day, I will come to take you with me again. Heal your wounds by then..."

"My son... born in the darkness."

After saying this, Yhwach returned to the Wandenreich!

Outside the screen, Ichigo Kurosaki's heart shook violently when he heard this!

S-Son!?

Isshin Kurosaki, who had been hiding outside the door all this time, instantly kicked the door open and shouted:

"Don't listen to that bastard's words! He treats all Quincy as his sons!"

"The so-called darkness refers to Soul Reapers!"

This explanation was indeed reasonable, and Ichigo also felt relieved.

But for some reason, he felt that the word "darkness" had a deeper meaning.

Wandenreich.

Haschwalth's heart froze.

Son?

Although every Quincy had His Majesty's blood flowing inside them, the title of son was not something just anyone could receive!

This Ichigo Kurosaki must be different somehow!

The scene began jumping along the timeline.

There were brief scenes of Ichigo Kurosaki, Renji, Byakuya, and the others going to the Soul King Palace.

Scenes of Yhwach waking from his dream at dawn, and Haschwalth returning his power.

And scenes of Ichigo obtaining a new Zanpakutō, returning from the Soul King Palace to Soul Society, and saving Kenpachi.

Only at this point did everything return to normal!

Although it was only a short half-minute of footage, the amount of information within it was incomparably huge!

Las Noches.

Aizen's eyes were filled with thought, and then he spoke:

"Yhwach actually places his power in Haschwalth during the night?"

"Gin, what are your thoughts on this?"

Can you stop asking me...? Gin Ichimaru smiled with narrowed eyes and said:

"Perhaps he hasn't fully recovered and needs rest."

Aizen shook his head slightly and sighed in disappointment.

He suddenly felt somewhat lonely.

In this world, perhaps only Kisuke Urahara was worth conversing with.

Human World.

The black cat activated her secondary brain and looked toward the surprised man.

The latter had great self-awareness and said:

"My guess is either that Yhwach's power has some weakness, or doing this can make his power stronger."

"Otherwise, with that man's greed, he would absolutely never do something like this."

As he spoke, Kisuke Urahara said with great curiosity:

"However, compared to that, I'm even more curious about Ichigo's new Zanpakutō."

"Doesn't this mean the one he's using now is fake?"

"But compared to that, I really want to see what expression little Strawberry has right now. It must be very interesting."

And inside the clinic, Ichigo Kurosaki's face was filled with complete self-isolation. He had already gone utterly numb.

Soul Society had been completely replaced by the Wandenreich!

Just as Ichigo Kurosaki was surrounded by eight Sternritter, a dazzling pillar of Reishi light shot straight into the sky from the Quincy palace!

Yhwach stood within the pillar of light, gazing across the battlefield, while his pleased voice rang out in Ichigo's heart:

"Ichigo Kurosaki, the one who led us to the place of light!"

"Thank you. It is thanks to you that I can enter the Soul King Palace!"

Inside Squad One!

Including the Captain-Commander, everyone's hearts trembled at the same time!

The Soul King Palace could not normally be entered. It required a special vehicle, the Tenchūren!

And the second method was to use the Ōken and forcefully enter!

This was also the reason Aizen wanted to attack Karakura Town!

Yhwach pointed his finger toward the sky and explained the reason!

It turned out that the clothes Ichigo Kurosaki was currently wearing had been woven from the bones and hair of Squad Zero, known as the Ōken.

They could forcibly break through the seventy-two barriers that existed between the Soul King Palace and Seireitei!

But because of this, after Ichigo broke through those seventy-two barriers, he would leave behind a hollow space that could not heal for six thousand seconds!

Thus, Yhwach and the others could travel unhindered to the Soul King Palace!

Las Noches!

A look of realization appeared in Aizen's eyes!

He finally understood why Haschwalth had clearly possessed the strength to kill or subdue Ichigo Kurosaki before, yet had only cut off his sword!

The purpose was to make Ichigo go to the Soul King Palace and reforge his Zanpakutō, thereby obtaining the clothes he was now wearing!

"Yhwach, you have finally made me feel somewhat interested..."

"Then, what will you do in the future? Hehe."

After Aizen said this with a smile, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he were simulating the future scenes in his mind.

One Punch Man World.

Saitama touched his bald head.

These worlds were so complicated. All those schemes made his brain feel like it was not enough.

Monsters were still better. He only had to punch them to death.

Hearing these words and realizing he had been used, Ichigo Kurosaki angrily charged toward Yhwach!

With Renji's help, he quickly broke through the blockade of the eight Sternritter.

But just as he reached the bottom of the palace, a Reishi arrow shot out and stopped him!

And that person was none other than Uryū Ishida, dressed in Quincy clothing!

Outside the screen, Ichigo Kurosaki froze at first, then his eyes dimmed into silence.

The Quincy and Soul Reapers had a life-and-death hatred between them. Doing this seemed reasonable.

But even so, his heart was still incomparably disappointed.

They were clearly friends, yet in the future, they would have to point blades and arrows at each other.

Inside Soul Society, countless Soul Reapers revealed angry expressions.

They only felt that they should not have let him go over a month ago. Quincy truly should all be killed.

Human World.

Ryūken Ishida sighed inwardly, but his eyes revealed heartache.

The Reishi platform ultimately rose along with the pillar of light, and Ichigo failed to stop them.

Before long, Yhwach brought Uryū Ishida and Haschwalth to stand on the main approach to the Soul King Palace!

And farther away in the sky were five floating disk-shaped cities, as well as the Soul King's Inner Palace at the highest point!

Looking at the scene before him, Yhwach could not help saying:

"So this is the Soul King Palace."

Haschwalth beside him lowered his head and said in a comforting tone:

"I understand your feelings, Your Majesty."

Yhwach immediately sneered:

"What are you saying, Haschwalth? What feelings would one have looking at a rotten tombstone?"

Soul Society!

The Soul Reapers, who had been shocked by the appearance of the Soul King Palace, were completely confused by these words!

Las Noches.

Aizen laughed, his eyes filled with mockery.

"A tomb... Hehe. It seems my guess was correct."

"But it does not matter. The vacancy in the sky will not remain empty for long..."

The scene began jumping again.

The members of Squad Zero became the new obstacle!

But when the scene darkened and reappeared, Yhwach had already walked out of the cage of the Tree of Life.

Behind him, Kirio Hikifune, Senjumaru Shutara, Tenjirō Kirinji, and Ōetsu Nimaiya had all died in battle!

In the next second, he looked calmly at the final obstacle ahead:

"Then, will you allow me to pass?"

"Ichibē Hyōsube!"

Before Yhwach stood a fat man wearing a white haori, with a thick black beard, looking completely harmless as he sat at the entrance of the passage.

In the next second, he scratched his back with a huge brush.

Only then did he lazily stand up, look at Yhwach, and smile:

"You sure are casual about calling my name."

"Then... if your throat burns away, don't blame me."
