In response to Ichigo Kurosaki's question, Grimmjow rolled his eyes, not even looking at Ichigo Kurosaki, and said impatiently:
"What are you talking about! Who wants to be your ally?"
"If that Yhwach continues his assault, our Hueco Mundo will disappear."
"If Hueco Mundo disappears, where can I go to kill you?"
Facing the tsundere Grimmjow, Kurosaki Ichigo just smiled gently:
"Alright! You're right."
A cold panther and a gentle human—at this moment, they even looked somewhat complementary!
At first glance, Grimmjow seemed to be clinging to Ichigo Kurosaki.
Even if he claimed to dislike Ichigo Kurosaki greatly, he would never leave him!
Seeing this exchange, many people still wanted to comment on Grimmjow:
[Coyote Starrk]: Good grief, he still wants to fight Kurosaki Ichigo now—he's really unique.
[Tier Harribel]: I really sense some deep emotions from this rivalry, hahahaha.
[Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez]: Isn't this normal? I'm very loyal to the Hollows of Hueco Mundo. You're all the ones throwing yourselves at him.
[Quilge Opie]: Hmph, it's just a kitten who cares greatly about his territory. We Quincy won't take it seriously.
[Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez]: Hmph, I care about Hueco Mundo the most! If it weren't for Hueco Mundo, I wouldn't care about Kurosaki Ichigo!
[Baraggan]: Fine! In the past, Ichigo Kurosaki was our enemy, and we truly hated him. But we can still join forces with him in the future.
[Ulquiorra Cifer]: Indeed, he also defeats enemies for both Soul Society and our Hueco Mundo. We Arrancar are capable, and we do need to lend him assistance.
The intense rivalry between Ichigo Kurosaki and Grimmjow, and even the bonds between Ichigo Kurosaki and other men, were discussed by the audience.
Ichigo Kurosaki was indeed a man whose instinct was combat!
[Nnoitra Gilga]: Hey, you guys are so busy looking at that Inoue Orihime that you're ignoring that woman with the revealing outfit next to her? Isn't this person the former Tercera Espada, Nelliel?
[Szayelaporro Granz]: Damn, it's Nelliel. I saw this girl before and she looked familiar. It's her! I didn't expect she was getting close to Kurosaki Ichigo...
[Ulquiorra Cifer]: I see. She's always clinging to Ichigo Kurosaki, so that means she's the little girl from before, right?
[Nnoitra Gilga]: I understand. It must be because she was seriously injured that she lost her memory and even became smaller.
[Ichimaru Gin]: How interesting! She started getting close to Ichigo Kurosaki when they were in Hueco Mundo. So Nelliel's strength must be constantly improving, right?
[Coyote Starrk]: Yeah, if Grimmjow became a Vasto Lorde, then if Nelliel surpasses me, it probably won't be a big problem.
[Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez]: Hmph, I don't think I'm inferior to this former Tercera!
[Kaname Tosen]: Indeed... Anyone who gets close to Kurosaki Ichigo can achieve breakthroughs!
[Aizen Sosuke]: As expected of Ichigo Kurosaki, you have won the favor of both male and female Arrancar under my command, as well as the help of various powerful ability users in this world. I believe you will successfully defeat Yhwach this time!
When everyone was anticipating Ichigo Kurosaki's group attacking the Royal Palace again, another anomaly suddenly occurred.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Countless streams of black spiritual pressure rushed down from the sky.
Countless ominous auras enveloped everyone's hearts, making people feel oppressed.
At the same time, countless Wandenreich buildings constructed over Soul Society began collapsing and flying into the air!
[Ichigo Kurosaki was in the black chamber, riding the interdimensional elevator, preparing to reach the Royal Palace once again. During this process, they could all feel Yhwach's increasingly terrifying aura. More and more ominous premonitions rose in their hearts...]
In the chat group, everyone anticipated the new round of war about to begin!
[Tier Harribel]: Ichigo Kurosaki and his group are attacking the Royal Palace again. I wonder if they can defeat Yhwach and his forces?
[Matsumoto Rangiku]: We have to believe in Ichigo Kurosaki—he's absolutely capable of doing it! Before now, Yhwach at the Royal Palace has never had a formal fight with him!
[Kuchiki Rukia]: Maybe Yhwach also knows about the powerful force within him, so he doesn't dare fight him head-on...
[Unohana Retsu]: As long as Kurosaki Ichigo is determined, he can definitely defeat him.
[Kuchiki Byakuya]: Ichigo Kurosaki knows his own strength, so he doesn't dare use it casually, lest he really kill his supposed ancestor. This is Ichigo Kurosaki's personality!
At this moment, the Shinigami were cheering for Ichigo Kurosaki!
[Kurosaki Ichigo]: Damn it, is there really no way I can be ruthless enough?
[Kurosaki Ichigo]: Is this the effect of the Quincy blood flowing in my body?
[Kurosaki Ichigo]: This is absolutely not allowed! I swear! Anyone who destroys the place where my friends live, who wants to destroy this world—I must be ruthless and defeat them.
[Jugram Haschwalth]: Don't be so conceited. You're saying that if Kurosaki Ichigo gets serious, he can really defeat His Majesty... That's just wishful thinking!
In the projection, during the flight, Yukio said he wouldn't fight alongside Ichigo Kurosaki and the others.
Shiba Ganju was very dissatisfied with this and quarreled with Yukio.
Ichigo Kurosaki simply stopped their argument.
After all, Ichigo Kurosaki and Yukio had been friends for a period, and he knew that Yukio was just an ordinary child who lacked family affection.
So he asked Yukio to stay behind, and requested that Riruka stay as well.
After all, their strength was insufficient to participate in such a battle.
Riruka wanted to fight alongside Ichigo Kurosaki because of her feelings for him.
Facing Riruka, who was excitedly clamoring to fight, Ichigo Kurosaki spoke gently:
"I've been to this so-called valley, and I know it's a very disturbing place."
"Your ability has always been to only put in cute things..."
"So now you must have endured pain for us to stuff the valley into the container, right? Thank you!"
Ichigo Kurosaki's understanding heart and warm words made Riruka blush and feel somewhat overwhelmed.
She yelled at Ichigo Kurosaki to hide her feelings:
"I... I'm not doing this for you..."
Kurosaki Ichigo interrupted her:
"I still have to ask you one more favor. You and Yukio stay here and help us at any time!"
Although Kurosaki Ichigo wanted to protect Riruka, he still spoke with her in a requesting tone.
Riruka could only agree to Kurosaki Ichigo's request, lowered her head, secretly glanced at Kurosaki Ichigo, and said in a weak voice:
"Okay, I promise you..."
After witnessing this scene, everyone was amazed again:
[Matsumoto Rangiku]: As expected, Ichigo is a highly emotional and warm-hearted man! His charm with women is no worse than his father's.
[Kuchiki Rukia]: Not only does he care for girls, but he also makes them listen to him willingly. No wonder so many girls help him...
[Omaeda Marechiyo]: In this group, among the four women, three of them have ambiguous relationships with Ichigo Kurosaki. There's also the veteran captain Shihoin, who treats Ichigo Kurosaki like a little brother. He's simply a winner in life!
[Urahara Kisuke]: Yes, in this aspect, he can defeat Yhwach instantly! And with so many girls... and they're so harmonious—it's unbelievable.
[Shihoin Yoruichi]: Hey, Urahara, you have something else to say, right? Don't have any improper thoughts.
[Soi-Fon]: Hmph, at least compared to Urahara Kisuke, I think Kurosaki Ichigo is pretty decent.
[Bazz-B]: Hmph, I wonder if Ichigo Kurosaki will charm a few female Quincy while fighting us...
[Candice Catnipp]: Tsk, he doesn't seem so gentle to me. Can't he be a little gentler when fighting a girl?
[Bambietta Basterbine]: But honestly, I think Ichigo Kurosaki was very gentle when he fought you guys—you just didn't know how to handle him.
[Candice Catnipp]: Hey, Bambi, you wouldn't have been charmed by Ichigo Kurosaki so quickly, right?
[Meninas McAllon]: Well, I admit he's a gentleman. If it were any other male opponent, he might not be so merciful. I'm really worried about the weaker ones—he might defeat them all in one second.
[Askin Nakk Le Vaar]: No wonder Ichigo Kurosaki has such protective instincts... I hope I never encounter this protective mode in my lifetime!
[Hitsugaya Toshiro]: Hmm, if you think about it carefully, he's similar to Aizen in this respect. He's indeed a bit...
At this moment, even many viewers were complaining privately.
This Kurosaki Ichigo was really a heartbreaker.
Why charm them if he wouldn't commit to them?
Was he worthy of so many girls' feelings for him?
For people like Hitsugaya Toshiro who were displeased with Aizen, he was no different from a scoundrel!
After all, he had deeply hurt Hinamori Momo's heart!
Of course, in most people's hearts, Kurosaki Ichigo definitely possessed the strength and charm.
After all, he was the son of Shiba Isshin and Kurosaki Masaki.
And he was also a perfect creation subtly influenced by Aizen.
It probably wasn't surprising that so many women liked him.
Not long after, in the projection, Ichigo Kurosaki and the others finally successfully completed the interdimensional elevator transmission!
However, after just stepping out, Ichigo Kurosaki and the others were very surprised.
Where was this?
It didn't seem to be the Royal Palace!
These appeared to be Quincy buildings from the Wandenreich.
Didn't they reach the place where Shihoin Yoruichi had left a marker?
However, after some exploration, Shihoin Yoruichi saw the wooden stakes she had arranged previously.
So this was indeed the place she had deliberately marked!
She had to say this with a serious expression:
"Without a doubt, this is the Royal Palace. That guy, Yhwach, has actually transformed the Royal Palace into his own domain!"
Hearing this revelation, everyone was completely stunned.
