Multiverse Ranking: Starting with Yuta Okkotsu

Atop a cliff, an extremely unremarkable-looking thatched hut stood there.

Soul King Palace.

A plaque hung above it, with the words "Phoenix Palace" written on it!

The instant Tenjirō Kirinji saw the scene, he immediately laughed mockingly.

"Ōetsu, looks like your pheasant nest can't stay hidden this time. From now on, you might as well show it openly."

The corner of Ōetsu Nimaiya's mouth twitched.

He truly did not want to admit it, but this time, there was no way to hide it anymore.

After pushing open the Phoenix Palace, Ichigo and Renji fell straight down.

This place was not narrow. Instead, it was an enormous space similar to Muken.

However, before the two of them had walked inside for long, a large number of humanoid beings appeared and attacked!

And these monsters were... Asauchi!

After 71 hours and 48 minutes, Renji, who had fought fiercely against the Asauchi for three days, passed the trial and regained his Zanpakutō.

But Ichigo was covered in blood and had not received the recognition of a single Asauchi!

Inside Kirinden.

Ōetsu Nimaiya, who was repeatedly soaking in the hot spring, forgot his earlier worries and sighed.

"Ichigo Kurosaki really is extraordinary!"

"I'm even more curious about what his inner world is like for twin blades to be born."

Tenjirō curled his lips.

"Split personality, obviously..."

"Shut your mouth."

Ichigo was completely unable to accept this result, but Ōetsu threw him back to the Human World with a Bakudō.

Amid the heavy rain, Ichigo fell into confusion.

But before long, under the verbal comfort of the mature Aunt Ikumi, he revived at full health and pulled himself together again!

Human World.

Orihime Inoue's eyes went blank as she muttered to herself, "I... I lost completely..."

Soul Society.

Rukia's eyelid twitched.

Sure enough, she knew that little orange-haired brat was improper and liked older women!

Speaking of which, did Soul Reapers have any secret methods for developing? She should ask Rangiku about it another day!

At this moment, Isshin Kurosaki found Ichigo in his Soul Reaper body and told him everything about his origins!

This included his own former captain status and identity as a member of the Shiba Clan, his mother Masaki Kurosaki's Quincy identity, and the matter of the Hollow White's parasitism!

In the end, both to allow Masaki Kurosaki to survive and because the two had fallen in love, they came together and gave birth to Ichigo!

At this moment, the scene simultaneously inserted a fragment from the future, showing the moment Ichigo Kurosaki obtained Fullbring.

Thus, a being born from the combination of Soul Reaper, Quincy, Hollow, and Fullbring powers had appeared!

At this moment!

Every power-holder in the Bleach World revealed expressions of disbelief!

Four different powers were mixed together, and there were even attributes that restrained one another. The fact that he could survive was simply absurd!

Inside the First Division.

Several captains were both shocked and enlightened.

They had found the reason behind Ichigo Kurosaki's future strength.

But even so, it still felt far too unimaginable.

Sixth Division barracks.

Renji's scalp went numb.

Originally, he had thought Ichigo was just a human kid who had accidentally gotten lucky and obtained Soul Reaper powers, and even his Bankai was just luck.

In the end, he had not expected that this guy was not only connected to one of the Five Great Noble Houses, but was also a super hybrid!

Now, when Renji thought about how he had once looked down on Ichigo during his first trip to the Human World, he felt so embarrassed that his toes could dig out a three-bedroom apartment.

Thirteenth Division barracks.

Rukia stared at Ichigo on the screen in shock.

At this moment, she suddenly understood why Ichigo had been able to steal half of her Spiritual Pressure back then!

That had actually been Quincy power!

Las Noches.

The corner of Aizen's mouth curved upward.

Four powers mixed together. Until now, only one person had been capable of that!

The Soul King!

Aizen immediately sighed inwardly.

"It seems my previous idea was correct. I was merely a little too cautious."

However, now that he knew the experimental result, he only needed to reverse-engineer it.

Of course, that required one small prerequisite.

A sample from Ichigo Kurosaki.

But that was not impossible either.

That Ichigo Kurosaki seemed to like Orihime Inoue, as well as women like that Ikumi later on.

Looking at it that way, the former Tres Espada, Nelliel, seemed capable of handling this task.

After learning everything, Ichigo was no longer confused, and he was then brought back to the Phoenix Palace through a Senkaimon.

It turned out that Ōetsu's previous Bakudō had been set on a timer. He was certain Ichigo would be able to see through his own heart.

Inside the Phoenix Palace, facing the countless Asauchi, Ichigo merely raised his hand toward one Asauchi, and that Asauchi naturally knelt on one knee and took Ichigo's hand!

In that instant, the black outer shell on its body peeled away like weathered stone, revealing a white-haired figure inside wearing a Hollow mask.

And that was a Hollow!

Human World!

Ichigo Kurosaki became numb once again.

If White was the Zanpakutō, then... then who exactly was Uncle Zangetsu!?

At this moment, Ōetsu brought Ichigo and the masked figure beneath the cliff of the Phoenix Palace.

Here, seawater formed a waterfall, and a recessed forging platform sat at the center!

Then, amid the continuous sound of forging, Ichigo entered his inner world!

Inside the dead-silent high-rise city, a man who looked almost exactly like Yhwach appeared!

This astonishing scene caused countless Soul Reapers to break out in cold sweat!

From how things looked now, Ichigo was the final hope of Soul Society. But if the essence of Ichigo's Zanpakutō was Yhwach!

Then there would not be even the slightest chance of victory in the battle to come!

Inside the First Division.

Shunsui Kyōraku frowned tightly, his shocked eyes filled with deep worry.

If it truly was Yhwach's power, then everything was really over!

Seeing Zangetsu again and looking at that face almost identical to Yhwach's, Ichigo's heart was thrown into chaos!

Rain began falling in his world.

"What exactly is going on?" Ichigo shouted shakily!

"It is exactly as you think. I... am not Zangetsu!"

As his voice fell, Ichigo's inner world instantly collapsed!

Outside.

Ichigo froze completely!

The truth had appeared. It turned out that White, the Hollow who had always opposed him, was the true Zangetsu!

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that whenever his life had been in danger, the one who saved him had never been Uncle Zangetsu, but... White!

Inside his inner world.

White crossed his legs and lay atop a building.

Then he snorted arrogantly.

"Be proud, Ichigo. I'm the king who protects you!"

At this moment, the man spoke again:

"I am the Quincy source within you. I am Yhwach, and yet I am not Yhwach!"

"I am neither enemy nor ally. But aside from the name I gave you, neither my words nor my hatred within my heart held any falsehood."

"I did not want you to become a Soul Reaper, so I suppressed your original power."

"Because you would be hurt, you would suffer, and one day, I would have to kill you with my own hands."

As he spoke, the man stretched out his palm and gathered the surrounding Reishi, taking out a strangely shaped Reishi blade. At this moment, his tone suddenly became gentle:

"Every time that happened, my heart wavered!"

"In the end, rather than keeping you away from becoming a Soul Reaper, I became more inclined to support your will!"

As he spoke, the man's body gradually turned into fragments, leaving only his final voice behind:

"Ichigo, being able to stay by your side and watch over your growth has always been the greatest happiness for me."

"I... am satisfied."

The man disappeared, leaving only that strange Reishi blade blooming with dazzling light, illuminating Ichigo's inner world!

Ichigo's expression became peaceful, and he spoke softly in a gentle voice:

"Yes... there was no falsehood."

"You saved me with the shadow of a Quincy. You stopped my blood with the blood of a Quincy. You lent me Quincy power so that my weak self could win!"

"Zangetsu, I don't care who you are."

"Even if you deny it, both you and he are definitely Zangetsu!"

That call of Zangetsu seemed to pass from his heart into reality!

Beneath the sea, the instant Ichigo Kurosaki opened his eyes, he instinctively grabbed the Zanpakutō still being forged within the flames!

In an instant, enormous Spiritual Pressure and blazing flames erupted violently, as if they could devour everything!

In the next second, Ichigo used all his strength and pulled hard!

The instant the Zanpakutō left the forging platform, all the surrounding seawater evaporated, revealing the dried-up royal land beneath!

And amid the rolling heat waves, Ichigo Kurosaki held two Zanpakutō, one large and one small!

It was as if he were holding Uncle Zangetsu and White in his hands!

Inside the hot spring.

Ōetsu Nimaiya revealed a shocked expression!

Since the moment he had begun forging Zanpakutō, he had never seen a blade with such an astonishing phenomenon!

Its potential was simply infinite!

At this moment, he wished he could immediately drag the boy up here!

Inside the First Division!

A sharp light flickered in Genryūsai Yamamoto's eyes!

This talent, this conviction!

A thought immediately appeared in his heart. He wanted to take the boy in as his disciple!

The boy's slashes were still far too immature. If Yamamoto personally taught him, his strength would definitely rise to another level!

Shunsui Kyōraku sighed with emotion.

He had not expected the reason behind the twin blades to be this!

In the end, if Ichigo had not firmly believed that the man was still Zangetsu, then even that ambiguous Quincy power would not have been able to give birth to twin blades!

What terrifying obsession!

Tōshirō Hitsugaya smiled bitterly, both joyful and complicated.

Starting today, he should quickly hand over the title of Soul Society's greatest genius to Ichigo. He was no longer worthy of it.

Kenpachi Zaraki was so excited that he could barely contain himself!

If he could fight Ichigo Kurosaki, it would definitely be unbelievably satisfying!

Inside the Wandenreich.

Yhwach's eyes were filled with fury!

That was Quincy power originating from him, yet it actually dared to betray him!

It was utterly unforgivable!

In an instant, terrifying pressure descended, and several Quincy guards exploded on the spot!

The surrounding Sternritter hurriedly lowered their heads, pretending not to see this scene.

Las Noches.

Aizen clicked his tongue in wonder.

This was the first time he had seen obsession affect a Zanpakutō!

For a time, he wanted even more to obtain the materials of this hybrid prince.

Human World.

Ichigo Kurosaki felt a lightness he had never felt before.

Although the future path remained difficult, he was no longer afraid.

Within his heart.

Uncle Zangetsu remained silent, but the bottom of his eyes trembled slightly.

As for White, he arrogantly turned his head away.

The scene froze here.

In the next second, it returned to the original point in time!

Inside Soul Society.

The emotion and excitement from moments ago instantly fell away.

The Soul Reapers once again looked over nervously.

However, this time, anticipation rose in their hearts once more!

Ichigo Kurosaki might truly be able to create a miracle.

Inside the grand hall, Ichigo Kurosaki held his twin blades and slashed toward Yhwach!

However, just as he was about to reach the front of the throne, a new black torrent appeared and blocked the strike!

Yhwach looked at Ichigo's furious expression with eyes wrapped in darkness and said:

"Do not be sad. Your mother died a worthy death."

"Giving birth to you and becoming my nourishment was her mission. Could there be anything happier than that?"

Hearing these words, countless viewers from other worlds frowned slightly.

Great Tomb of Nazarick!

Ainz Ooal Gown remained expressionless, but his heart was filled with disgust.

This man was not only cruel, but also placed himself high above others like a god, taking selfishness as a matter of course!

He was truly unworthy of being a king.

Inside the Wandenreich.

Many Quincies wavered in their hearts at this moment.

They had originally thought the one they served was merely a somewhat cruel ruler, but they had not expected him to be an evil god who would harvest their lives at any moment without the slightest hesitation!

But the fear in their hearts made them unable to show even the smallest reaction.

Yhwach controlled the black torrent and sent Ichigo flying. Then he stood up from the throne in excitement and laughed loudly:

"Idle talk is over. The time of joy is about to begin!!"

"Come, fight me... Ichigo Kurosaki!"
