Gin Ichimaru had no choice. For his beloved Rangiku, he could only go to Hueco Mundo to resist Ichigo Kurosaki.
Looking at the disheveled Gin leaving, Bai Yuetong felt some emotion in his heart. No matter how rebellious and talented you are, as long as your weakness is discovered and controlled, you can only become timid and be used and driven by others, not even daring to have any complaints. Because what he was enduring humiliation to protect was more important than his own life.
Bai Yuetong did not despise Gin for this, because what made him willingly do all that was "love."
Gin had never submitted to violence that could threaten his life, nor did he spare his own life. What pushed him to sacrifice himself to do all this was the "love" from his heart, even though his "love" was never communicated with Rangiku, and was often just his own stubbornness.
Bai Yuetong was not a heartless and loveless person. Naturally, he would not despise and spit on Gin. On the contrary, he would feel admiration for him, because he probably could never be like Gin, able to disregard everything for love.
And Bai Yuetong also often introspected and summarized. Every time he threatened others, using their weaknesses to force them to submit, he would ring an alarm bell for himself, warning himself that he must never fall into such a situation. It was not that he was afraid of losing, afraid of being threatened, so he dared not possess. It was that he took the fate of the losers as a warning. He had to win, do everything possible to seize victory, and then, as the victor, dominate everything, and absolutely not let his opponent get a handle on him.
Bai Yuetong had never looked highly upon methods like killing one's wife to prove one's dao, or cutting off worldly ties. Those methods, in the final analysis, were based on the premise of being a loser. That is, before the enemy discovers and controls your weakness, you kill all your loved ones yourself, cut off all ties, so that the other party has no way to start. This may seem like clearing away encumbrances and eliminating flaws, but in Bai Yuetong's eyes, it was a cowardly act, and it put the cart before the horse. To be able to make such a decision undoubtedly put oneself in a weak position, losing to the other party before the fight even started.
Of course, if one was born without any emotions, without the concept of "love" itself, with only the drive of self-interest, or was a natural-born cultivator, a emotionless training machine, that would be another matter. And that kind of person would not have the concept of a weakness at all, let alone the need for a redundant method like cutting off worldly ties to prove themselves.
"Ms. Matsumoto, the person you were desperately looking for has already left."
Bai Yuetong walked up to Rangiku and said directly.
"You are... Bai Yuetong?!"
Rangiku's pupils constricted, and she subconsciously stepped back.
"Oh, you recognize me?"
Bai Yuetong was a little surprised.
"Of course I recognize you. You are the dangerous person who held off Ichigo Kurosaki single-handedly in Hueco Mundo and defeated Kisuke Urahara. And you have a record of killing the former sixth Espada, Grimmjow, in an instant. It seems my luck is really bad~"
The smile on Rangiku's face was very forced. Although the Shinigami of the Seireitei had been caught off guard by the Quincy, their intelligence had been constantly updated. Bai Yuetong, who could defeat Urahara and Ichigo, had long been on the Shinigami's priority watch list.
"No, on the contrary. Meeting me means your luck is very good." Bai Yuetong said with a smile, "Because I will protect you for Gin Ichimaru."
"Gin? What is this all about?"
Rangiku's mind was in a mess for a moment. There was happiness, suspicion, vigilance, and worry. She was afraid that this was all just a trick, and she was also afraid that everything he said was true, because that would mean that Gin, who had somehow come back to life, was doing something stupid for her again.
However, Bai Yuetong did not give her more time to think wildly. He went straight up and knocked her unconscious. He also cleaned up the poison in her body, healing her soul, which had become turbid due to the corrosion and was on the verge of losing its balance. During the healing process, Bai Yuetong felt that Mayuri's methods were too crude, and couldn't help but give Rangiku a more perfect Hollowfication modification, which was controllable and harmless.
Although Hollowfication could break the limit and raise the ceiling for a Shinigami, for Rangiku, who had once held the Soul King's fingertip, if she could have kept the Soul King fragment, she would have had the potential to surpass the limits of an ordinary Shinigami even without Hollowfication. Now that she was just one of the crowd, it could only be said to be a pity.
Of course, according to Aizen, Rangiku had only lost the possibility of surpassing a Shinigami. So, it wasn't that Rangiku was crippled and couldn't achieve Bankai due to some after-effects. The root cause was just that Rangiku was a lazy dog; she didn't have much desire for power. And the rumor that Rangiku's soul was incomplete and could only survive by Gin sharing his soul with her, so her Zanpakutō was "dust," a degraded version of Gin's Zanpakutō, was even more idiotic. It was like they had been driven crazy by shipping, completely treating Rangiku as an accessory to Gin. If Gin had the ability to gift his soul, he might as well be Yhwach.
However, Rangiku was, after all, the former host of the Soul King's fingertip. There should be some traces left. Bai Yuetong still inserted a Negación thread into her to search for and download the data within.
Thinking of the Soul King fragments, Bai Yuetong confirmed his next target. After hiding the sleeping Rangiku in his shadow, he immediately rushed to the next area.
According to the official novel—
[Although by using the spirit particles of objects that dominated the world of the living and Soul Society, taking them into her body and reorganizing them, most outrageous commands could be completed—she did not understand how Tokinada would use the items she had personally offered. Although she was ordered to create a throne, the one who sat on it was not Tokinada. However, although she was not particularly interested, in the end, she still knew. The Soul King Protection War, this war between the Quincy and the Shinigami. The Tsunayashiro family, as one of the four great noble clans, was also attacked, and there were many casualties—but the Quincy who attacked Tokinada were all killed by Aura's hand. But in the end, Tokinada himself was not in the mansion at that time, but had used the power of his own Zanpakutō to go to a place called the Hōōden to steal another sword. He probably wasn't taken very seriously. Since not a single member of the Sternritter with a Schrift had appeared, everything had ended after just cleaning up the Quincy's cannon fodder.]
Now the situation was slightly different. Although Ichigo had not entered the Soul King Palace and then come down, causing all 72 barriers between the Soul King Palace and the Seireitei to be opened and temporarily unable to be closed, that bastard Tsunayashiro Tokinada was probably still in the Tsunayashiro house.
Of course, that trash Tokinada was not important. What was important was that Michibane Aura, who held the Soul King's lynchpin, was in Soul Society at this moment, in the Tsunayashiro house. And the Tsunayashiro family had been persecuting all those who held Soul King fragments for generations, including Fullbringers and Shinigami, and had collected many Soul King fragments and a large amount of high-quality materials through this.
There was no great righteousness, no just cause. In private, Bai Yuetong would not deceive himself, finding an excuse that the Tsunayashiro family's bastards had harmed humans, to cloak himself in a halo of justice, acting on behalf of heaven.
It was simply that Bai Yuetong, whose wings were gradually fledging and who now had the research capabilities, had taken a fancy to those resources. And it just so happened that during the war, the nobles' defensive forces were insufficient. So he was going to exterminate the Tsunayashiro clan and extract nutrients from their corpses, just as the Tsunayashiro had once persecuted others. This was a battle between villains, a case of black-on-black.
