Just as he had been immersed in physical pleasure and the spiritual joy Loly brought him, he received a notification that His Majesty was gathering the Sternritter to invade the Soul Society.
The reason was that the First Hunting Squad had reported to His Majesty that the top Special War Power, Kurosaki ichigo, had already invaded Hueco Mundo and was currently battling Captain Cirucci of the governing squad.
This meant that no matter what Kurosaki ichigo's reason for going to Hueco Mundo was, Kurosaki ichigo, currently fighting Cirucci, was temporarily unable to split his attention.
Yhwach believed there was no better opportunity to thoroughly ravage the Soul Society.
Moreover, Yhwach not only ordered Cirucci to use his full strength to defeat Kurosaki ichigo in Hueco Mundo, but also gave Kaiser an instruction, while letting him know about Cirucci's mission.
That instruction was to continue to hold Kurosaki ichigo after Cirucci's failure. If Kurosaki ichigo could escape Cirucci's The Prison, then it would be best to capture him alive and bring him back to the Wandenreich. If he was unable to do so, he should prioritize his own safety.
It was clear that Yhwach did not think highly of Cirucci and had no intention of killing Kurosaki ichigo, otherwise he would not have given such an order to Kaiser.
Cirucci's "The Prison" had a drawback that wasn't really a drawback: it couldn't exert its original restrictive effect on opponents who were also Quincy or possessed Quincy blood.
Thus, Yhwach's order was easy to understand: if Kurosaki ichigo awakened his Quincy powers and recalled the memories within his spirit particles, then he was to be brought back, educated, and trained to become a major general of the Wandenreich.
However, what surprised Kaiser was that his treatment seemed different from that of the clearly abandoned Cirucci. Yhwach would actually let him prioritize his own safety, rather than completing the mission at all costs.
It seemed that this cold and ruthless iron-blooded tyrant always showed some special favor to Kaiser, which made Kaiser, who was originally full of hostility towards Yhwach, feel puzzled...Boom!—!
Countless blade-like Hirenkyaku Arrows, shaped like spikes, all struck Kurosaki ichigo in the air as Cirucci raised the military saber in his hand, causing a fierce explosion.
"All hit. What's wrong? Your strength shouldn't be limited to this, should it?"
Cirucci looked at the smoke screen in mid-air, holding his saber in his right hand, and pushing up his glasses with his left, provoking him.
Soon, a large cleaver resembling a watermelon knife fell from the smoke and directly pierced into the sands of Hueco Mundo, and Kurosaki ichigo's voice also came out.
"That's strange, I clearly heard that Quincy only use bows and arrows."
Kurosaki ichigo, holding little Neliel in one hand and grabbing a Hirenkyaku Arrow in the other, casually flung it away, causing a cloud of dust to explode on the ground.
"What?!"
Kurosaki ichigo's casually confident demeanor made Cirucci's eyes widen involuntarily.
"Kurosaki-kun~"
Inoue Orihime ran over, with Sado Yasutora closely following behind her.
Orihime was wearing a fuchsia sleeveless top, denim hot pants that only reached her thighs, and a pair of blue stockings that made her legs look even more alluring. As she ran, her whole body swayed, which was breathtaking.
After Kaiser arrived at the scene, his pervert radar immediately activated, and he instantly locked onto Inoue Orihime, this well-developed human 'First Healer'.
However, Kaiser did not immediately show himself, but instead hid in the shadows, preparing to watch Cirucci and Kurosaki ichigo's antics first.
Betraying teammates, or rather, letting teammates go first while one hides in the back to find an opportunity for a sneak attack and seize all the spoils of victory, is an excellent corporate culture of the Wandenreich.
Of course, given Cirucci's help in his training, Kaiser could smile as he watched Cirucci suffer a setback, but he wouldn't just watch him die in front of him.
"Inoue, Neliel is in your care!"
Kurosaki ichigo directly threw the child Neliel over, then turned around, grabbed Zangetsu, and with a horizontal Getsuga Tensho, he swept away all the Hirenkyaku Arrows that Cirucci had shot.
"I see... To be able to dodge, swat away, and even throw back Hirenkyaku Arrows with your bare hands... You make me question if my technique is not mature enough."
Cirucci tugged at his right bangs with his left hand, marveling at the outrageousness of Kurosaki ichigo, the top Special War Power.
"So Quincy arrows have such a hard-to-remember name! Don't worry, your arrows are much stronger than Ishida's. I've been attacked before, but that was a long time ago."
Kurosaki ichigo complained, casually comforting Cirucci.
However, who knows what Ishida Uryū would think if he heard his good friend comment on his arrows in such a way.
"Ishida? The Ishida you're talking about, do you mean Ishida Uryū?"
Cirucci's hand, gripping his bangs, paused.
"Do you know Ishida?"
Kurosaki ichigo frowned, feeling that things were not simple.
"Ishida Uryū's Hirenkyaku Arrows are weaker than mine? That's strange, it shouldn't be possible."
Cirucci pushed up his glasses with his left hand, his eyes unreadable, his expression gloomy.
"What does that mean?"
Kurosaki ichigo's eyes sharpened.
"Oh dear~ Speech is silver, silence is golden. I seem to have said too much, please forgive me."
Cirucci placed his left index finger to his lips in a "shush" gesture, then put away the military saber transformed from his Quincy Cross, "It seems that after this battle, there will be more things to report to His Majesty."
"Who is this 'His Majesty' you keep mentioning?"
Kurosaki ichigo asked.
"I don't need to answer that question. What good would it do you to know? Besides, I have already received His Majesty's order to defeat you here with all my strength. That means you are about to die here, so even if you get our information, it's useless.
Alright, the game ends here. I'll show you... I think you should be familiar with this power. Its name is — Quincy: Letzt Stil."
Cirucci took off his pristine white glove, but underneath the glove was another glove, only this one was pitch black, with a silver Quincy pentagram emblem on the back of the hand.
And in an instant, a brilliant blue sacred light of spirit particles shot up into the sky. A huge cone had a halo-like ring above it, followed by a cross appearing on the cone within the halo, and then the entire spirit particle light cone shattered.
Like the curtains of a changing room, fragments of spirit particles scattered, revealing Cirucci who had completed his transformation and was now in a new form.
He had a disc on his head, wings on his back, and his body was filled with spirit particles, giving him a bizarre sense of holiness.
Kurosaki ichigo was somewhat stunned. Was this the ultimate Quincy technique that Ishida had used?
"I'll take this opportunity to tell you, the correct name for this form should be — Quincy: Vollständig!"
Cirucci explained with great pride.
Under the powerful scientific research capabilities of the Wandenreich and the blessings of His Majesty, this ultimate form, which used to cause a complete loss of power after a single use, has now been completely perfected, with no additional side effects, just like a Shinigami's Bankai technique.
