In the chat group, everyone was surprised and delighted by Orihime's incredible display of power.
[Rangiku Matsumoto]: Orihime seemed to have such a hard time in battles before... I thought her main role was just to cheer on Ichigo and provide emotional support... Now it seems she's become his greatest asset!
[Abarai Renji]: She can actually participate in a Soul King-level battle? She didn't even follow Ichigo to the Soul King Palace for special training!
[Aizen Sosuke]: Kurosaki Ichigo is indeed a fascinating specimen, capable of elevating those around him to unprecedented heights...
[Aizen Sosuke]: Though perhaps this Inoue Orihime is equally extraordinary, serving as the catalyst for Kurosaki Ichigo's evolution.
[Aizen Sosuke]: There must be destiny at work in the universe. Is this why I brought Inoue Orihime to Hueco Mundo, intending to unite them?
[Aizen Sosuke]: My seemingly casual action mirrors how I orchestrated the meeting between Kurosaki Isshin and his wife...
[Aizen Sosuke]: Now, what magnificent power will emerge from the union of these two exceptional beings of the new generation? I find myself quite eager to witness it.
[Shiba Isshin]: Enough, Aizen. What's with all this philosophical rambling? You're being tedious.
In the projection, after witnessing Inoue Orihime fighting desperately for his sake, Kurosaki Ichigo felt overwhelming gratitude surge through him.
Inoue Orihime spoke gently, her voice filled with understanding:
"Kurosaki-san, you're definitely not fighting at full strength, and you haven't lost control either. There must be a reason you're holding back..."
She truly understands me at this moment! Ichigo thought, his heart swelling with appreciation.
Kurosaki Ichigo smiled warmly and nodded with determination.
"You're right! If I inject Quincy spiritual pressure into my Zanpakuto, I'll awaken that guy. Now I can finally do it successfully!"
The truth was revealed - Kurosaki Ichigo had been deliberately taking hits to absorb portions of Yhwach's Quincy power! He couldn't control this ability at will yet, and could only use the injection of Yhwach's Quincy energy to awaken his most powerful force.
That being the strongest ally within him - the power of White!
His blade began its transformation, slowly shifting from obsidian black to pristine white.
BZZZZT!
A spiritual pressure far beyond anything he had previously displayed erupted, sweeping through the entire throne room like a golden tsunami. The overwhelming force of his spiritual energy alone caused the massive hall to tremble violently, as if the very foundations might crumble.
Even Yhwach's expression grew serious as he observed this development.
"I see. So this was your objective all along."
After the swirling smoke cleared, Ichigo Kurosaki's new form was revealed - a perfect fusion of black and white, representing the trinity of Hollow, Shinigami, and Quincy powers combined!
His skin had taken on an almost ethereal white hue. A single white horn emerged from the left side of his head, while two distinctive black markings ran down the left side of his face. The interplay of black and white created an indescribable mystical presence.
His hair, now slicked back like Aizen's, gave him the mature bearing of a seasoned warrior rather than a teenager.
After witnessing Kurosaki Ichigo's transformed state, the audience erupted in amazement.
[Komamura Sajin]: Incredible! Ichigo has unlocked yet another form. He has more transformations than anyone!
[Kyoraku Shunsui]: Is this what happens when Quincy power, Hollow power, and Shinigami power achieve perfect integration?
[Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni]: Excellent! Kurosaki Ichigo has finally learned to harness his Hollow power completely without losing his sanity to it.
[Hitsugaya Toshiro]: Now Ichigo doesn't need to rely on his inner Hollow taking over. He's become the perfect warrior himself.
[Rukia Kuchiki]: White and Old Man Zangetsu can finally be at peace. Ichigo has truly matured.
[Madarame Ikkaku]: Ichigo looks absolutely incredible right now. I'm certain he can defeat any enemy in this state.
[Kusajishi Yachiru]: Wow, so cool! If you think about it, with that horn and the black and white face markings... should we call this Ichigo's Bull-Head form?
[Aizen Sosuke]: Yet another unprecedented transformation! Kurosaki Ichigo, you continue to manifest the most extraordinary states. You truly are a being that transcends the boundaries between races. This experiment has exceeded even my wildest expectations.
Aizen trembled with excitement upon his throne! Witnessing his greatest creation shine so brilliantly filled him with unprecedented exhilaration!
This was a state he had never even conceived possible.
Ichigo Kurosaki's abilities continued growing stronger, constantly shattering the limits of his understanding!
Could such power potentially surpass his own Hogyoku-fused state?
Compared to Ichigo Kurosaki's Mugetsu technique, which transformation was superior?
What profound insights could he glean from Ichigo Kurosaki's new realm of power?
These questions alone sent Aizen spiraling into euphoric contemplation!
Seeing Aizen's ecstatic expression, Ulquiorra, Tosen Kaname, and the other Arrancar exchanged bewildered glances.
In the projection, seeing Kurosaki Ichigo's new form, Inoue Orihime stood transfixed with shock.
Is this really Ichigo Kurosaki?
But... he's completely different from before.
Despite his transformed appearance, Kurosaki Ichigo's face radiated the same gentle, reassuring smile.
"Don't worry, Inoue. I'm still me!"
At this moment, Ichigo Kurosaki had achieved complete mastery over the power within his body. He could now utilize his inner Hollow's strength without any restrictions while maintaining full control over his thoughts and personality.
Never again would he lose his sanity when accessing Hollow power as he had in the past.
Inoue Orihime felt overwhelming relief wash over her, tears threatening to spill from her eyes.
Thank goodness!
Kurosaki-san can finally control his own power!
He'll never become that terrifying, mindless creature again!
Observing this touching scene, Yhwach spoke with cold detachment:
"No matter how I look at it, you appear to be a Hollow. Is this your Hollow form after achieving power fusion?"
Yhwach still couldn't gauge the true depth of Kurosaki Ichigo's current strength.
Kurosaki Ichigo responded with unwavering conviction:
"That's right. I inherited my Quincy power from my mother - that's Old Man Zangetsu!"
"I inherited my Shinigami power from my father."
"Even when these opposing forces conflict, they can maintain perfect balance!"
"They were reforged into these twin swords as my Zanpakuto."
"As long as the balance holds, everything remains stable."
"But when that balance breaks, one power overwhelms the others!"
Ichigo's voice grew more passionate as he continued, thinking of all the assistance White had provided him over the years.
I'm truly grateful!
He really was my most reliable partner!
White truly lived up to his reputation!
"When I exhaust large amounts of Shinigami and Hollow power, that guy called White emerges..."
"Actually, ever since my powers became capable of fusion, I've been able to transform at will..."
"But since I can't operate this ability completely freely yet, I need to borrow your Quincy power!"
After hearing this explanation, the audience finally understood the origin of this incredible form.
[Rukia Kuchiki]: Just as I hoped! Ichigo has successfully integrated the powers of all three races without losing his mind!
[Ulquiorra Cifer]: To think he has reached such heights... This truly disturbs me... Yet this half-Hollow form still makes my very soul tremble!
[Shiba Isshin]: That's my boy! If your mother could see you from heaven, she would be incredibly proud!
[Urahara Kisuke]: It appears the technology I developed has finally found its perfect application! Hollows, humans, Shinigami, Quincy - opposing forces achieving complete fusion is truly miraculous!
[Gerard Valkyrie]: Hmph, he only succeeded by borrowing His Majesty's power!
[Aizen Sosuke]: Of course, let us not forget that I remain the ultimate architect behind all of this!
[Yhwach]: Excellent. Everything proceeds according to my design. Grow stronger, Ichigo! Only then will you be worthy of facing me in battle.
[Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni]: Yhwach, cease your arrogant posturing. Every action you take only drives you deeper into the abyss!
At this moment, the Shinigami were filled with renewed hope and confidence in Kurosaki Ichigo's chances!
Ichigo had continuously exceeded expectations with one power-up after another, and now he had entered this unprecedentedly powerful form!
He could surely force Yhwach into a desperate situation!
At the very least, Yhwach wouldn't be able to toy with him anymore!
In the projection, immediately after explaining his new transformation, Ichigo Kurosaki utilized Shunpo with incredible speed.
SWOOSH!
He moved so quickly that he seemed to fold space itself, instantly appearing behind Inoue Orihime's protective barrier.
Inoue Orihime didn't even notice his movement until he was already there, staring with wide, surprised eyes.
He addressed Inoue Orihime with absolute confidence:
"Inoue, expand your shield's coverage area! My next attack has an enormous range! Use your Shun Shun Rikka to block my spiritual pressure, then evacuate immediately."
At this moment, Ichigo Kurosaki possessed complete faith in his ability to defeat Yhwach without requiring Inoue Orihime's assistance.
And Inoue Orihime found herself filled with hope as she gazed into his confident eyes.
That's right!
Right now, I just need to believe in Kurosaki-san! He can definitely handle Yhwach!
Following his instructions, Orihime Inoue quickly evacuated beyond Ichigo Kurosaki's area of influence.
Finally, Ichigo Kurosaki prepared to unleash his full power without any reservations.
BZZZZT!
BZZZZT!
Golden spiritual pressure erupted skyward like a pillar of divine light, instantly shattering the canopy above the Silbern throne room.
Kurosaki Ichigo, who could now be called the pinnacle of raw power, had finally revealed his true strength.
