Multiverse Ranking: Starting with Yuta Okkotsu

Just as Yhwach stepped into the portal, Renji arrived!

Swinging Zabimaru with all his might, he attempted to stop Yhwach from leaving!

But in a single instant, the segmented bone blades unraveled like strands of noodles, disintegrating piece by piece.

Yhwach didn't even bother turning his head before walking through the gate.

Sixth Division Barracks.

Renji let out a self-deprecating laugh.

For a moment, he had actually held a bit of hope.

Not only had he lost...

he wasn't even worthy of receiving a glance.

What a complete failure.

After Yhwach departed, Orihime immediately attempted to repair Tensa Zangetsu.

However, the power of rejection was completely ineffective against a rewritten future.

Hueco Mundo.

A trace of understanding appeared in Aizen's eyes.

What Yhwach had severed wasn't merely the current reality.

He had severed every possible future of Tensa Zangetsu.

If there were a million possible futures...

then in all one million futures, the blade was broken.

Orihime's Fullbring possessed the power of rejection.

But rejection only worked when multiple possibilities existed.

Now, however, the future of Tensa Zangetsu had been reduced to a single inevitable result.

Naturally, there was nothing left to reject.

First Division Barracks.

Shunsui Kyōraku sighed heavily.

This was the true terror of altering the future.

Every path forward had already been transformed into a dead end by Yhwach.

Just as Ichigo was sinking into despair, a blade suddenly pierced through his chest!

The three of them turned around in shock.

Standing there was Shūkurō Tsukishima, his sword still thrust forward.

Behind him stood Yukio, maintaining an opened spatial passage.

And beside them was Kūgo Ginjō.

At the head of the First Division, Yamamoto's eyes widened.

The next moment, overwhelming fury erupted from him.

"Ginjō Kūgo!?"

"Those Fullbringers!?"

"They surrendered to the enemy just to save themselves!?"

"Unforgivable!"

The captains below him also darkened.

The Quincy were enemies.

Setting aside questions of right and wrong...

as residents of this world, shouldn't they resist?

For a moment, every Shinigami arrived at the same conclusion regarding the Fullbringers.

But then—

a shocking scene unfolded.

The Tensa Zangetsu that Orihime had been unable to repair...

Was suddenly restored successfully!

The fixed future changed in that instant!

Within the Wandenreich.

For the first time, Yhwach revealed a visibly shocked expression.

He couldn't understand it.

Nor could he tolerate it.

Meanwhile, the First Division erupted with excitement.

Or perhaps more accurately...

hope.

Faced with the shocked and confused gazes of Ichigo and the others, Tsukishima calmly explained:

"Since Orihime's power can't rewrite every possible future..."

"Then I'll simply insert a past where Ichigo's Zanpakutō was never broken."

"Once a new history exists..."

"...a new future will naturally follow."

A strange light flashed through Aizen's eyes.

"Manipulating the past to create whatever history one desires..."

In his view, this power stood in complete opposition to Yhwach's.

It wasn't nearly as overwhelming.

Yet as a counter to The Almighty...

it was almost perfect.

Used correctly, it could become the key to changing the future.

"Heh."

"It seems I'll need to make a trip to the Human World before Yhwach arrives."

Fullbring Base.

Tsukishima looked toward Ginjō.

"So that was your decision?"

Ginjō's expression became complicated.

What exactly happened in the future?

To be honest, he didn't particularly care whether Yhwach destroyed the world or not.

However, he immediately understood the significance of Tsukishima's Fullbring.

Then he suddenly said,

"That's right."

"I remember that Substitute Shinigami."

"Maybe we could recruit him again."

But before he finished speaking, Tsukishima exhaled.

"That might be difficult."

"Back then, I tampered with his Substitute Shinigami Badge."

"Later, he discovered it."

"He quietly left."

Monitoring?

Shunsui frowned.

Something felt off.

That sounded wrong.

Yet it also sounded like a trivial matter.

Would that really be enough reason?

It felt as though there was some hidden truth behind it all.

In the end, he shook his head.

"Forget it."

"If there's still time..."

"I'll handle it myself."

After Tensa Zangetsu was restored, despite his grievous injuries, Ichigo immediately followed Renji into the black passage.

Meanwhile, Yhwach had already arrived in the Seireitei.

The moment he stepped onto the shattered land—

Aizen Sōsuke sat calmly upon a stone chair.

It was obvious.

This man had been waiting for him all along.

The next second, Aizen smiled faintly.

"Welcome..."

"...to my Soul Society."

Soul Society fell silent.

Yet strangely enough...

for the first time in a very long while—

everyone felt an inexplicable sense of relief.
