"What were you just saying? I'm asking you, what do you know? Answer me!" Ichigo Kurosaki was now the one getting anxious, gradually seeing red.
"Your biological father, Isshin Shiba, was once the captain of the 10th Division, inheriting the bloodline of the five great noble families of the Soul Reapers. He possesses a great deal of knowledge and information that ordinary Soul Reapers do not, as well as the betrayal and sins committed by the original ancestors of the Soul Reapers.
"Your first master, Kisuke Urahara, is one ofthe smartest people in the world. He knows a lot about many things. He is dissatisfied with the current world, but he doesn't dare to make any rash changes, and he won't allow anyone else to make any rash moves.
"They know everything, they understand everything, but they have told you nothing. They don't want you to know more in advance. They are only concerned with using your amazing potential and powerful combat strength for the benefit of the Soul Reapers.
"And they let you, in your ignorance, build up a laughable camaraderie with the young Soul Reapers, tying you firmly to the Soul Reapers' war chariot.
"As a talented human, you are not stupid, and you are very sensitive. But you willingly let yourself be manipulated and used by the evil Soul Reapers. Even if you are kept in the dark about everything, you are content to be kept in the dark, not asking anything, being an ostrich with its head buried in the sand.
"In the end, you are just a mindless thug. What right do you have to learn more from me?" Bai Yuetong said in a deliberately provocative tone.
Anger would make Ichigo Kurosaki lose his reason. When they fought later, it would be much easier to face a reckless Ichigo. And after the battle, when he regained his senses, Ichigo would have no choice but to abandon his ostrich mentality and get to the bottom of his own origins.
At that time, he would discover that, regardless of whether the Soul Reapers or the Quincy were more evil or just, for the current Ichigo Kurosaki, who only wanted to protect his family and friends, it didn't really matter.
What would matter then was that Yhwach was the enemy who had caused his mother's death. Yhwach wanted to destroy the current world. If he wanted to protect his family and friends, then Yhwach was the one he must stop and even eliminate.
Bai Yuetong seemed to be on the side of the Quincy, dissing the Soul Reapers and sowing discord with Ichigo Kurosaki, hoping that he would switch sides after learning more in the future. But in reality, he was hoping that Ichigo Kurosaki would grow up quickly and crush his own boss, Yhwach, becoming the new generation's 'Great Sage of Balancing the Books'.
If one were to describe Bai Yuetong's attitude towards Ichigo Kurosaki at this moment, it was somewhat like Gin Ichimaru's towards him, hoping for his growth in the same way.
However, unlike Gin Ichimaru, the plunder-oriented Bai Yuetong was destined to stand on the opposite side of the protection-oriented Ichigo Kurosaki.
Whether it was the Soul Reapers or the Quincy, the high-level leadership of both sides were no good in Bai Yuetong's eyes. It would be best if they all died.
But for Bai Yuetong, the highest priority now was to survive. Whether it was Yhwach's Auswählen or the future destruction of the world, it would directly threaten his life.
So, although Bai Yuetong actually held a trace of gratitude towards Yhwach, he still hoped the old man would die quickly.
"Then I'll beat you down and make you tell me word for word! Getsuga—Tenshō!"
Enraged, Ichigo Kurosaki immediately activated his Bankai, leaped up, raised the Bankai-transformed Tensa Zangetsu, and swung down fiercely.
The pitch-black Getsuga was like a venomous snake wreathed in black flames, coiling around the blade. Driven by its master's anger, it coiled around Tensa Zangetsu and shot forward, swift and sudden, baring its fangs and spitting venom as it bit down on Bai Yuetong.
However, Bai Yuetong simply raised his left hand above his head and blocked the pitch-black blade coming down from above.
"What?!"
Ichigo Kurosaki's mouth fell slightly open.
He couldn't cut him at all. This feeling was like the first time he tried to cut Kenpachi Zaraki and couldn't break through the spiritual pressure on his body.
No, it was more than that. The feel of the blade was also a bit like an Arrancar's Hierro. It wasn't just the spiritual pressure on his body; the hardness of this guy's own skin was also terrifying, and extremely tough.
Was this guy really a human of flesh and blood? Was he really a Quincy?
"You always subconsciously hold back. You're so gentle, Ichigo Kurosaki. Even when facing an enemy who angers you, you are unwilling to strike a fatal blow. You're so kind, I don't know what to say," Bai Yuetong said. With a slight push, he used the back of his hand against Tensa Zangetsu to send Ichigo flying.
He could actually feel that Ichigo Kurosaki hadn't used his full strength. Even driven by anger, he still held back. It seemed Ichigo hadn't completely lost his reason.
"Bankai?" Quilge saw Tensa Zangetsu and couldn't help but take out his Medallion.
"Don't bother. Ichigo Kurosaki's composition is special. He has multiple powers within him at the same time. The Bankai he is currently using is also different from a normal Soul Reaper's Zanpakutō's Bankai. Instead of wasting your effort on Ichigo Kurosaki, you'd better save the Medallion for an opponent who needs it," Bai Yuetong stopped Quilge's useless effort.
"I see. Ichigo Kurosaki is indeed a tough opponent. As expected of the head of the five Special War Powers," Quilge said. He knew Bai Yuetong wouldn't speak without reason, but he didn't put away his Medallion. Instead, he turned his gaze to another area.
…
Behind a pile of rubble, Kisuke Urahara was crouching and secretly observing the battle. He had also just received a call from Akon and was now in real-time contact with Soul Society.
"Ah! Mr. Akon, long time no see. How are things on your end?"
"Huh? Me? I'm doing so-so... Is there something wrong with your ears! Didn't I say it's an emergency? Are you even listening to me! I need to talk to Ichigo Kurosaki. He's near you, right? Get him on the phone!" Akon roared anxiously.
In his view, the Seireitei was in a state of crisis. They needed to ask Ichigo Kurosaki for help. Only Ichigo Kurosaki could turn the tide and save the now-suffering Seireitei.
"Mr. Kurosaki? I'm afraid that's not possible..."
"Why not?"
"Mr. Kurosaki is currently fighting the captain of the Hueco Mundo hunting party, a Quincy, as well as another Quincy officer who looks clearly much stronger.
"And that officer seems to have recruited the former Tres Espada from under Aizen."
Kisuke Urahara said with a grave expression.
Fighting Quincy in Hueco Mundo? What was going on?
The members of the 12th Division were all in an uproar. Had the Quincy also started operations in Hueco Mundo? Could it be that Ichigo Kurosaki had sensed this and went to Hueco Mundo?
He even acted before the Soul Reapers? How was that possible!
Akon slammed his hands on the table, breaking out in a cold sweat. The enemy was much more prepared than they had imagined. The Soul Reapers' intelligence work for the war was too far behind.
But although he had heard of Ichigo Kurosaki's deeds, he didn't expect him to be such an unpredictable man. He seemed more reliable than most Soul Reapers.
