Yes, at the last moment, Kurosaki Ichigo gave up his excess power and returned to his original posture.
As the God of Death, he made the final decision.
"You can see the 'future' but forget the 'past', right?"
After sheathing his sword, Kurosaki Ichigo calmly asked Yhwach who was split into two.
It will be almost impossible to defeat Yhwach in the 'future'.
Therefore, Kurosaki Ichigo chose to end things in the past.
This scene was something Yohabach had never expected.
This was the sword Ichigo Kurosaki risked everything along the way.
A very ordinary knife.
Because this is the power borrowed from my past self.
At that time, he was still a fledgling Death Agent and very weak.
But it is enough to cut off a person's body.
Yhwach's power is to change the future. Logically speaking, even if Kurosaki Ichigo returns to his past posture at some point in the future, the attacks caused by him will be ineffective against him.
But Kurosaki Ichigo's posture at this moment is not as simple as 'returning to the past at some point in the future'.
Tsukishima's ability made Kurosaki Ichigo know that even omniscience and omnipotence have their limits.
For example, the ability priority of Hidekuro Tsukishima’s ‘Book of the End’ is above Yhwach’s ability.
Even if Yhwach's ability breaks Zangetsu in the future, he can still use the power of the Book of Ends to circumvent the effect of 'omniscience and omnipotence' by making Zangetsu himself think that he has never been broken.
For example, Yhwach can only see "the future within sight" when fighting.
Yes, this is where ‘hope’ lies.
Before Ichigo Kurosaki came to Yhwach again, he asked Tsukishima for something.
That is to first mark him and Zangetsu with the Book of Ending, and at this crucial moment, make him and Zangetsu become 'past tense' at the same time.
At this moment, Kurosaki Ichigo did nothing but simply waved his sword.
And the same is what Yohabach saw.
But Hidekuro Tsukishima in another world activated his ability, which Yhwach could not 'see'.
It should be said that the moment he saw it, it was already too late.
In the original work, Halbach died because his ability was affected by Hasward and he saw the "future" wrongly. When he realized it, he had no time to change.
That's right, the limit of omniscience and omnipotence is that 'things that are already happening cannot be changed'. All it can change is the 'future', so neither what is 'going on now' nor what 'belongs to the past' can be changed.
.
Now, Kurosaki Ichigo has successfully gathered everyone's wisdom and found the 'hope' to defeat Yhwach.
Although it was also stuck so that Yhwach's 'omnipotent' had no time to activate in order to succeed, this was indeed their own victory.
In another realm above the sky, Xuan Hao, who was overlooking the entire world, saw this scene, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Being able to achieve this step, Kurosaki Ichigo's growth can be regarded as meeting his expectations.
In the original world line, one of the most critical factors in Yhwach's failure was Hasward's defection before his death, which allowed Yhwach to see a 'false' future.
But because of his appearance, Hasward foreseen the 'future' and then started to act directly.
Because Xuan Hao's existence itself is the "despair" of the "omniscience and omnipotence".
After seeing such despair, no matter how Hasward thought or struggled in his heart, it was meaningless. Whether it was to thank Yhwach for his kindness, or to abide by the agreement with his best friend and kill Yhwach, it didn't matter.
.
After all, in the face of such a 'future', anything you do is just superfluous.
Originally, after losing this important factor, even relying on Ishida Uryū’s ‘Silver Cluster’ could not defeat Yhwach.
But Kurosaki Ichigo found other ways to defeat Yhwach.
And this method is exactly what Xuan Hao wants to see.
The King of the Human World, respected by the people who believe in him, Kurosaki Ichigo has undoubtedly reached this state.
It's a pity that at this level, he is just a king who rules the world.
············
Ten years later.
"Finally...it seems to be finished..."
In Soul Society, in a pavilion somewhere in the Joireitei, Kyōraku Shunsui sighed while drinking wine and resting.
There is a stone tablet standing in the center of the pavilion.
This is a tombstone.
The tomb of his close friend, Ukitake Jushiro.
When he takes a break from his busy schedule, Jingraku Shunsui will always come here with a jug of wine to pay homage to his friends and fish for a while.
"After laying stone bricks in another area, it will be over for the time being."
As if reporting the current situation to his lost friend, Kyoraku Shunsui looked at Soul Society, which was almost about to be rebuilt, with a relieved smile on his face.
"Has it been ten years since I defeated Yhwach... It took a lot of time, but I was able to recover from that mess. Humans... are really tenacious creatures."
"Captain! There's no time to sigh! Hurry up!"
Not far away came the voice of Yin Shi Qixu calling.
"Really..."
Listening to the call from far away, Jingraku Shunsui helplessly picked up the wine bottle, "Even after ten years, I still haven't gotten used to the busyness of the captain. It would be great if you were still here. I will definitely treat the captain as
I’ll give my position to you... I finally feel the greatness of old man Yamamoto! Come on, come on! This is over!”
(Jushiro Ukitake: Listen to me, thank you...)
············
"Hmph, has West Fifty-fifth District finally been rebuilt?"
On the other side, in the Research Institute of the Technology Development Bureau of Division 12, Nirvana snorted and complained.
"It's really procrastinating and keeps people waiting... Now my 'Secret Rules' can be used in all areas of the Soul Society Palace."
As he spoke, he turned around and greeted behind him.
"Then...if everything is ready, it's time to conduct on-the-spot investigation. Follow me! Mian No. 8."
"Yes! Lord Yuri!"
As soon as the voice fell, a petite figure came over.
If there were other people present, they would probably find that this petite figure was exactly the same as the former ‘Mian No. 7’, that is, Nie Yin Meng.
Yes, this is the artificial death god re-created by Nirvana by recycling Nirvana's brain, and the 'Mian No. 8' who has inherited everything from Nirvana.
"Too loud..."
Listening to the girl's angry response, Nirvana complained helplessly, "Really...how could you become like this?"
"Yes! I'm sorry! Lord Yuri!"
The girl responded apologetically, but her tone did not change at all.
············
"Thank you for your hard work, Captain Zaraki!"
The energetic greeting sounded in the corridor inside Jinglingting.
"Thanks for your hard work!"
"Thanks for your hard work!"
"..."
I saw Zaraki Kenpachi walking quickly with Madarame Ikkaku, who has been promoted to vice-captain, and Ayasegawa Yumichika, who has become the third seat.
"It's so noisy!"
Listening to the noisy greetings around him, Zaraki Kenpachi scolded him angrily, "It's only broad daylight, how can it be so hard!?"
"Huh!
?This...this is the same! Sorry!"
When the team members heard this, they looked at each other and apologized in confusion.
"Then... I wish you a happy mood! Captain Zaraki!"
"Wish you a good mood!"
"I said it all! It's so noisy!"
Zaraki Kenpachi scolded silently.
"Never mind this for now...Captain..."
Madarame Ikkaku on the side reminded, "Isn't there a ceremony held at the 1st team building today? Is it okay if we go this way?"
"What? What are you talking about? Didn't you say that you have to deal with the affairs of the 13th Division? So it should be in the 13th Division's dormitory, right?" Kenpachi Zaraki answered confidently.
"Um? Is that so? But I remember that we were asked to gather at the first team's dormitory... Are you right? Yumichika." As he said this, Madarame began to become less confident and turned towards him in confusion.
Yumichika Ayasekawa on the side confirmed.
"I don't know. After all, I'm only the third seat. You have to figure it out. You're the vice-captain." Yumichika Ayasekawa said, "I'm just here to make fun of myself, it's none of my business."
"Listen up! Ikkaku!"
Zaraki Kenpachi said confidently, "In the final analysis, we used to get lost often because of Yachiru! Now Yachiru is gone... I can't get lost!"
"..."
Ayasegawa Yumichika and Madarame Ikkaku looked at each other in shock when they heard this.
"Is this really the case?"
"Whatever, just let the captain say so..."
"If you know, leave quickly!"
Zaraki Kenpachi smiled with satisfaction upon hearing this, and then quickened his pace and ran forward.
"Don't be slow!"
"Ah...yes! Please wait a moment! Captain——"
When the two heard this, they ran wildly to catch up.
"Huh? That's Squadron 11, right? Why are you running in the opposite direction? Is there something urgent?"
Noticing the direction in which the three of them were running, Mako Hirako, the captain of the fifth division who was passing by, asked in confusion.
"Are you... are you lost?" Momo Hinamori, the vice-captain who was following behind, explained the mystery, but seemed a little unsure, "But that doesn't seem to be the speed that a lost person should have? I'll go and ask.
…”
With that said, she was ready to catch up.
"No? It's not accurate!"
Seeing that she seemed ready to make unnecessary sacrifices, Hirako Mako ordered with a speechless expression, "What will happen if we are all late?"
"But..." Hinamori Momo stopped, seeming to hesitate.
"Nothing! They are all adults, don't worry about them!"
Hirako Mako said confidently, "This is the captain's order!"
"All right……"
Hinamori Momo gave up the idea of reminding the members of the 11th Squadron, "Speaking of which, Captain Hirako always only uses 'Captain Orders' when it's not important."
"Haha -" Mako Hirako smiled when he heard this, with a proud look on his face. He was not ashamed but proud, "This is a difference in values! It's not used when it's not important! It's used when you want to use it.
!”
"...Is this something to be proud of..." Hinamori Tao felt helpless after hearing this.
boom--
A heavy landing sounded on the cliff near the training ground.
"Oh oh oh--"
"I...we can't keep up! Captain——"
There were shouts from above the cliff.
"Don't worry! Just catch up later and you'll be fine!"
Captain Tetsuzaemon Kiba of the 7th Division smiled after landing and turned around to respond.
"Starting from the training ground? You work hard every day, captain of the shooting range."
At this time, a voice of emotion came from the side.
Tetsuzaemon of the shooting range looked back: "Captain Hitsugaya. No... I am not yet qualified to be a captain. If I lack training in swastika... I feel like I will not be able to be a captain."
"Yeah?"
Hitsugaya Toshiro chuckled, "What an amazing determination. What do you need to be a captain? I really want someone to hear it."
"Wow! Who is it?" Rangiku Matsumoto, who was watching the excitement, echoed as if he was not too concerned about the trouble, "A soldier?"
"That's right."
Captain of the 9th Division, Rokusha Kensai, nodded in agreement.
"You have to listen carefully, Shuhei!" Matsumoto Rangiku teased Hizuaki Shuhei who was passing by.
"I can't pretend I didn't hear you! Miss Rangiku!" Shuhei Hizagi immediately became dissatisfied when he heard this.
"Let me tell you first, your captain's statement just now was on our side~" Matsumoto Rangiku reminded.
"That's what I'm going to say! I've already mastered the 'Swastika'!" Hizuoki Shubei said.
"In the end, I still didn't see it~" Matsumoto Rangiku looked disdainful, "You can't be a liar, right?"
"Yeah, I didn't see it either." Hitsugaya Toshiro said the same.
"Me too." Even his captain Rokusha Kensai nodded.
"Liar! Captain, you have obviously seen it, right?" Shuhei Hisagi looked confused, "No... there is no way! After that, there will be no chance to use the swastika!"
"That's an excuse, right?" Matsumoto Rangiku looked in disbelief.
"It's an excuse." Liuche Quanxi nodded in agreement.
"Please don't always take their side and talk! Captain!
"Hizuo Mu Xiubing was speechless for a while.
"Haha...forget it."
Hitsugaya Toshiro looked at several people teasing each other and smiled, "It's not a bad thing that I haven't had the chance to use it for ten years. At least it means that peace has been maintained for these ten years..."
"Yes. As a guard for the past ten years, I think today's ceremony is very appropriate."
Yes, all captains and vice-captains are preparing to rush to the first team building early in the morning, so naturally they have important matters.
Today is the inauguration ceremony for Captain Rukia Kuchiki of Division 13.
Therefore, to a certain extent, it is reasonable for Zaraki Kenpachi to remember wrongly.
"too slow!"
As the time approached the start of the ceremony, there was a sound of scolding in front of the first team building.
The returning Captain of the Second Division, Sui Feng, angrily scolded the panting crowd.
"Gah? I went around the Joireitei," Zaraki Kenpachi was immediately unhappy when he heard this, and retorted confidently, "It should be considered faster, right?"
"I'm asking you, why do you have to go around Jing Ling Ting before coming here on such an important day?" Sui Feng continued to question without giving up.
"Huh? You seem to have become more arrogant than before? You're from the Second Division! It seems that you have become a lot stronger with that man?" Zaraki Kenpachi asked with a gloomy look.
