"Let my mother go, and then I'll believe in your sincerity!"
Kurosaki Ichigo was sowhat shaken, but there was no way he was going to give in that easily.
Up until now, he still rembered clearly what his ultimate goal was.
He would save Inoue and Rukia, but more importantly, he had to bring Kurosaki Masaki back.
"What you're asking for isn't sincerity. You can't offer a chip higher than Kurosaki Masaki. Even offering yourself as the trade wouldn't be enough," Rosse said with a smile.
"Since you won't even spare my mother, then there's no need to talk about cooperation anymore," Kurosaki Ichigo said in a low voice.
He did not know whether anyone could stay calm and still cooperate with soone who had taken their family hostage.
But at least, he could not do it.
"That's really a sha. Since you refuse to cooperate, and you also refuse to acknowledge the surna 'Shiba,' then I don't have anything more to say," Hearing Rosse's slightly regretful words, Kurosaki Ichigo did not even frown.
He had never planned on any kind of cooperation in the first place.
His only purpose tonight was to rescue Inoue Orihi.
The only thing he did not understand was this, 'We are talking about mom, so how did it suddenly get tied to the surna Shiba?'
But before he could make any move, he suddenly heard Rosse speak again.
"Yoruichi, take him away, before I draw my blade."
Hearing this sentence, Kurosaki Ichigo finally reacted sharply.
That sentence just now had not been said to him alone, but to everyone present.
The state of controlling the five senses had already been lifted.
Buzz!
The sound of rushing wind ca to his ears, and Kurosaki Ichigo's expression changed drastically.
He should have realized earlier that Shihoin Yoruichi could not be trusted at all.
'Damn it!'
Kurosaki Ichigo wanted to dodge, but how could he possibly evade Shihoin Yoruichi's speed.
In just one exchange, his shoulder was already grabbed.
Then, with several flashes, Shihoin Yoruichi carried him away, leaving behind only Inoue Orihi, who lowered her head in despair.
Looking at Inoue Orihi, who clearly seed to have completely lost hope, Kurosaki Ichigo's eyes nearly split open.
How could he not understand now. It had to be Rosse controlling the five senses, making him say sothing that hurt her.
"Inoue...", He opened his mouth, wanting to say sothing while he still could.
But after calling her na, he stopped, closed his mouth with a hint of dejection.
'What is the point of saying anything?'
Before Rosse's ability to control the five senses, none of his words could reach Inoue Orihi.
What he said might be "wait for to co save you," but what Inoue Orihi heard could be "submit to him."
Every ti he imagined those scenes, Kurosaki Ichigo felt like he could barely breathe.
But right now, there was nothing he could do.
He could not even get past Shihoin Yoruichi.
He could only watch helplessly as, in the distance, Rosse brazenly wrapped an arm around the completely defenseless Inoue Orihi and showed him the smile of a victor.
"AHHHHH!"
Kurosaki Ichigo completely lost it.
At this mont, he no longer hesitated at all. He decisively pulled out the mask Aizen had given him and slamd it onto his own face.
Buzz!
In an instant, an overwhelming spiritual pressure filled with destructive aura burst out from Kurosaki Ichigo's body.
The strength of that spiritual pressure was already not much different from when Unohana and Captain-Commander Yamamoto had gone all out earlier.
Spiritual pressure is a kind of energy that cannot be seen, touched, heard, or slled.
Sensing spiritual pressure does not rely entirely on the five senses.
Even Kyoka Suigetsu could not block Kurosaki Ichigo's sudden outburst.
Or rather, whether it was Rosse or Aizen, from the very beginning, neither of them had ever intended to block Kurosaki Ichigo's outburst.
The one who really suffered was Shihoin Yoruichi beside him.
The instant she faced that kind of spiritual pressure head-on, she felt like her entire body was about to be torn apart.
Almost imdiately, she released her grip on Kurosaki Ichigo's shoulder and leapt back, opening distance between them.
"A Hollow? How is this possible... just being provoked a few tis and he suddenly Hollowfied?", Shihoin Yoruichi stared at the drastically changed Kurosaki Ichigo, her expression extrely grim.
Her original intention tonight had been that even if sothing went wrong, she and Kurosaki Ichigo could act together and first rescue Inoue Orihi.
As for Ise Nanao, that had nothing to do with her.
It was Urahara Kisuke's setup anyway. She did not even have the right to know about it, so she could not be bothered to get involved.
But she had not expected Rosse to personally escort Inoue Orihi.
Originally, her plan was to follow Rosse the whole way, then after Rosse finished the escort and left, she and Kurosaki Ichigo would find an opportunity to step in.
But she still overestimated Kurosaki Ichigo's patience. He rushed in too hastily.
When Kurosaki Ichigo charged out, Rosse had actually been quite restrained. In front of everyone, he stated that as long as Kurosaki Ichigo was willing to change his surna back to Shiba and everyone cooperated together from then on, he would release Inoue Orihi.
As for the Twelfth Division, Rosse said he would compensate them in other ways.
She had no objection to this proposal. The Twelfth Division had no objection. Inoue Orihi had no objection. Rosse had no objection.
Yet Kurosaki Ichigo objected.
She had even seen with her own eyes Kurosaki Ichigo preparing to attack Rosse, which finally wore away the last of Rosse's patience.
If she had not taken him away just now, she suspected Kurosaki Ichigo would have been cut down by Rosse in two strikes.
But who could have imagined that she had only taken him away, and suddenly he went berserk, and even transford into a Hollow.
Under Shihoin Yoruichi's stunned gaze, Kurosaki Ichigo's body underwent a massive change.
First, a Hollow hole appeared in his chest. Scaled claws grew from his hands and feet, and two bull-like horns extended from the mask on his head.
Although he still maintained a humanoid form, Kurosaki Ichigo's current appearance was already not much different from an Arrancar after releasing their power.
And this spiritual pressure, even without careful sensing, Shihoin Yoruichi could tell it was the spiritual pressure of a Hollow.
'But how could the son of a Shinigami and a Quincy possess Hollow power?'
Before Shihoin Yoruichi could figure this out, she suddenly saw Kurosaki Ichigo move.
The bull-headed Hollow Ichigo raised his hand violently and slapped his waist.
Buzz!
As if pulled by an invisible force, the Zanpakuto Zangetsu flew into his hand in an instant with a piercing, ear-splitting sound tearing through the air.
Yet it was precisely this single act of drawing the blade that triggered a catastrophic disaster capable of tearing reality apart.
Centered on Kurosaki Ichigo, within a hundred-ter radius, all standing Seireitei buildings, in that instant, seed to have been indiscriminately sliced through by countless invisible, razor-sharp blades of light.
There was no deafening explosion, no violent shockwave.
Solid walls, thick pillars, finely carved eaves, even the ground beneath their feet... everything, under that invisible force, was cut with cold precision into countless stone fragnts of varying sizes.
Like building blocks smashed beyond repair, or tofu cubes shredded apart.
They lost all support in an instant, and then, amid a delayed roar, ca crashing down in a torrent, kicking up clouds of dust that filled the sky.
