"So impressive…"
Rangiku, standing beside Hitsugaya, watched Jin's actions towards Harribel and couldn't help but mutter in admiration.
During the battle two years ago, she had witnessed this female Vasto Lorde fight her own Captain.
To actually win her over… Apart from shouting 'amazing', Rangiku didn't know what else to say.
"Ara~ Is he dead?"
Jin suddenly noticed Renji, who had a hole blasted through his chest.
Mentioned by Jin like this, the shock on Rukia's face turned back to sorrow.
Ichigo, Orihime, and the other main cast members also gathered around, softly sobbing.
"Does this mean you have a chance now?"
Jin suddenly thought of a question and asked Ichigo.
"Huh?"
Ichigo, with tear stains still on his face, was covered in question marks, completely failing to understand what this monster meant.
"Doesn't this redhead also like the little onion-head? Now that he's gone, isn't this the perfect time for you, the blondie, to swoop in?"
Jin said with a matter-of-fact expression.
"What nonsense are you talking about?!"
Ichigo couldn't help but roar.
'Who are you kidding?'
'Was I, Kurosaki Ichigo, the kind of person who would make a move on my friend's crush?'
"You don't have any feelings for this little onion-head at all?"
Jin retorted.
To be honest, he had been quite curious about this question in his previous life.
After all, the original ending pairing Ichigo with Orihime and Rukia with Renji left countless readers who supported Ichigo and Rukia feeling deeply unsatisfied.
Although Jin didn't care much, since he was here, he didn't mind asking.
"This… I…"
Ichigo stammered, unable to get a word out for a long time.
Especially under the complex gazes from Orihime and Rukia, he felt his scalp tingling intensely.
"I hate protagonists like you the most. Never making things clear, just stringing people along. Can't you learn from me? I told everyone from the start, 'You are all my wings'."
Jin pulled Harribel into his embrace again, expressing disdain for Ichigo's hesitant attitude.
This behavior reminded him of those trashy male protagonists in daily life anime who nominally claimed to be making a Galgame but were actually building a harem.
When questioned, he pretended to be clueless, effectively stringing along two losers.
"What… what's it to you…"
Ichigo mustered his courage to retort weakly.
If he hadn't just witnessed Jin's terror with his own eyes, he would have wanted to punch him.
"With your ability, you probably only dare to choose one, right? I have a good heart, and I can't bear to see girls sad. I'll reluctantly take care of the other one for you. How about it? Choose quickly!"
Jin laughed mischievously, enjoying the drama.
As soon as these words were spoken, not only the main cast involved, but even the surrounding Shinigami of the Gotei 13 turned to look.
"Oh~ This is getting interesting. If Kurosaki-kun chooses the human girl, that would mean this human young man will become the son-in-law of the Kuchiki Family?"
Kyoraku's eyes gleamed with interest.
If Jin and Rukia became a pair, then without a doubt, he would become a member of the Seireitei in the future.
Just thinking about the power Jin had just displayed, Kyoraku, who had just taken over as Captain-Commander, was so excited he got goosebumps all over.
'With such combat power, wouldn't the Gotei 13 be able to slaughter our way through Hell?!'
"Wow~ Captain, we've got a good show to watch now!"
Rangiku grabbed Hitsugaya's collar, shaking him excitedly.
"Hmph! Boring."
Although Hitsugaya said this, he also secretly swallowed hard.
Having his Daiguren Hyorinmaru stolen, he was naturally furious.
'But if this man could join the Gotei 13…'
"Interesting, Ichigo, what will you choose?"
Hirako Shinji also grinned.
As a Captain of the Gotei 13, Shinji certainly wanted to recruit Jin, this monster.
But the key lay with Ichigo.
"Hey! What kind of joke is this? I'm not some goods for you to trade!"
Rukia said furiously.
"Now, now~ Calm down, Rukia-chan~"
Jin patted Rukia's onion-head, now in a bob cut, and said with a mischievous smile:
"Don't you want to know who he'll choose?"
Rukia, who was about to swat away Jin's paw, froze at these words.
She looked at Ichigo with a complex expression.
"Kurosaki-kun…"
Orihime had a similar expression, but compared to Rukia, her eyes looked even more pitiful and appealing.
Straight men really like this type.
"I… I, I…"
Large drops of sweat rolled down the side of Ichigo's face.
Facing the gazes of Rukia and Orihime, Ichigo felt this was even more unbearable than facing Aizen and Yhwach simultaneously.
Byakuya's expression wasn't great either.
With the Soul Society currently weakened, he naturally also hoped to recruit a monster like Jin.
But as a siscon, he still hoped Rukia would be with someone she loved.
If Ichigo could be that person, Byakuya could accept it.
But his hesitant, indecisive attitude now displeased Byakuya greatly.
"Alright, no need to stammer here. I'll say it for you."
Jin chuckled, "You want both, but you don't dare say it."
"I do not!"
It felt like Ichigo was about to cry.
"Alright, alright. You can lie to yourself, but don't lie to women."
Jin waved his hand.
The surrounding Shinigami also looked at him with disdain.
"Rukia-chan, are you willing to share a husband with another woman?"
Jin turned his gaze back to Rukia.
Rukia shot him a sharp glare, drew her sword, and looked towards the ruins of the Soul King Palace, saying coldly:
"Enough of this boring topic. The enemy isn't dealt with yet."
Silence spoke volumes.
Jin then smiled and looked at Orihime.
He saw the large-breasted girl glance at Ichigo with a hint of disappointment before also turning her body away.
'Oops.'
'I originally wanted to see which one Kurosaki Ichigo would choose.'
'But now it seems neither is willing.'
'That's why you should either have a single heroine, clearly have multiple heroines, or just go without heroines altogether.'
'Those speculative harem stories that play both sides are the worst.'
Rustle-
The rubble on the ruins was pushed aside.
A man with thick lips and a hairstyle extremely similar to Aizen's walked out.
Looking at the crowd of Shinigami and Quincies surrounding him, Askin Nakk Le Vaar's expression changed slightly, and he pursed his lips:
"Oh~ Out of the frying pan and into the fire~"
"Nakk Le Vaar! Where is that bastard Yhwach!?"
Bazz-B couldn't wait to shout.
Askin Nakk Le Vaar spread his hands:
"No idea. I was just suddenly sent flying by that terrifying shockwave earlier. But if there's no surprise, His Majesty should have already entered the Soul King's inner sanctum to absorb the Soul King by now."
Halfway through his sentence, Askin Nakk Le Vaar scanned the people present.
"So then? Who launched that attack earlier?"
"It was me."
Jin said with a laugh:
"What? Want revenge?"
"No, no, no~"
Askin Nakk Le Vaar quickly waved his hands, "I don't want to fight opponents where I have no chance of winning. I just wanted to confirm who it was to avoid crossing paths."
"Heh~ To think there's a normal person among that brain-dead Yhwach's subordinates. That's really something."
Jin laughed.
Hearing Jin's term of address for Yhwach, the Shinigami and Quincies present couldn't help but feel creeped out.
'How bold, to describe Yhwach like that.'
But considering Jin's displayed strength earlier…
It seemed… he really had the qualification to do so.
"I just wanted to see what the new world His Majesty would create after devouring the Soul King looks like. I don't want to lose my life for it. Could you spare me?"
Askin Nakk Le Vaar spread his hands.
He had also seen Lille Barro's fate earlier.
He didn't want to become the second victim under this monster's hands.
"Hahaha! Although you have the same hairstyle as Aizen, you're much more sensible than him."
Jin laughed heartily:
"Alright, do as you please. My target is only Yhwach anyway."
"Much obliged."
Askin Nakk Le Vaar lazily bowed.
Seeing Jin let Askin Nakk Le Vaar go, the expressions of the Gotei 13's Shinigami weren't great.
Because Jin's action proved that while he wasn't on the Quincy side, he wasn't on their Shinigami's side either.
"Rukia-chan, why don't you think of something?"
Rangiku, who had somehow moved next to Rukia, whispered.
"Huh?"
Rukia looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"I get the feeling that guy quite likes you. Why don't you try to seduce him, recruit him as the Kuchiki Family's live-in son-in-law? Wouldn't that be great?"
Rangiku leaned close to Rukia's ear, speaking in a whisper.
"What are you saying, Rangiku-san?! I've only met that guy twice!"
Rukia's face turned red, "Why don't you go yourself!?"
Glancing at Rangiku's hot figure, which even the Shihakusho couldn't conceal, Rukia felt if the other tried to be seductive, it would definitely be more effective than her.
"Oh dear, he already has a big-breasted Vasto Lorde lady by his side. If I went, wouldn't that be overlapping attributes? It's better if you go, Rukia. Your chest is small."
Rangiku's explanation made Rukia's nonexistent breasts ache in anger.
'What the hell do you mean?'
'Discriminating against small chests?!'
Boom-!
At that moment, a terrifying Reiatsu crushed the Soul King Palace ruins into dust.
Not just Shinigami below Captain-level, even weaker Captains like Sui-Feng and Hitsugaya were suppressed by this terrifying Reiatsu, nearly fainting.
And that wasn't the only terrifying thing.
The entire Wandenreich… no, the entire Soul Society, even the spaces of the three worlds, seemed to be peeling off like skin.
The space of the entire world began to appear chaotic and distorted.
"The Soul King has been-"
Ukitake Jushiro raised a hand to shield himself, his expression extremely grim.
There was only one explanation for this situation.
That was the Soul King, the linchpin of the three worlds, had been devoured by Yhwach!
And indeed, that was the case.
Those who hadn't been blown away by the Reiatsu barely looked up.
They saw, in the center of the erupting destructive spiritual pressure like a spring, a burly man stood within.
Yhwach!
However, at this moment, the upper half of Yhwach's face, above the bridge of his nose, was covered by a strange, shadow-like liquid.
Eyeballs were embedded on those shadowy substances, squirming eerily.
"Holy crap, even though Danzo is dead, I still get to see this thing."
Jin showed an expression of disgust.
That's right.
This imagery of having eyes growing all over his body immediately reminded Jin of the original work's Danzo, who transplanted ten Sharingan.
"Disgusting. Die!"
Jin abruptly raised his hand.
The energy beam released from his right index finger was like a bullet piercing a balloon.
It pierced through the Reishi Barrier that even Captains feared, instantly piercing Yhwach's heart.
"Success?!"
"Just like that?!"
Rukia and the others were dumbfounded.
'N-no way? That easily…?'
"Hehe~ The human who fled before me last time? To think you've gained such power in such a short time."
Yhwach chuckled coldly:
"However, no matter how powerful your strength is, you cannot win against me, against this… power of the [Almighty]!"
As Yhwach spoke, the bloody hole in his chest pierced by Jin vanished in the blink of an eye as if it had never existed.
It left everyone present dumbfounded.
'Super, super-speed regeneration like the Hollows?'
'No, that's not right. It feels different.'
"All Things in the Universe, Turn to Ashes!"
The next instant, Jin suddenly drew his sword.
Heaven and earth seemed to be burned away in that moment.
That familiar feeling surged in his heart again.
Yes, it was the same feeling as when Yamamoto used his Bankai before.
However, Jin did not call out the Bankai release command.
In other words, his Shikai was already comparable to Yamamoto's Bankai!
"To actually reach this level…"
Byakuya, who had also trained his Senbonzakura's Shikai to Bankai intensity, looked on in disbelief.
Although they had both trained their Shikai to Bankai strength, how could Senbonzakura and Ryujin Jakka be mentioned in the same breath.
Yhwach's pupils on the eyeballs covering the upper half of his face contracted slightly, reflecting the approaching sword-pressure flames.
In the next instant, Yhwach condensed a Reishi Sword, similar to Heilig Pfeil, in his right hand, raising it to block.
However, the moment the two made contact, the sky-scorching sword pressure directly overwhelmed it, swallowing Yhwach within.
"Feels like… we're not even needed… Kisuke."
Yoruichi, who had come with Kisuke to reinforce them and was standing on the outskirts witnessing this scene, was stunned.
'Where did this monster come from?'
'To wield Ryujin Jakka even more terrifyingly than the Captain-Commander!'
"…No, it's not over yet!"
Kisuke's expression changed.
As his words fell, the Almighty Yhwach slowly walked out of the soaring flames.
His tone revealed unprecedented confidence.
"I told you, it's useless."
"Is… is that guy immortal?"
Ichigo, who had just been rejected by both heroines, was also terrified.
Although he had also leveled up in the Soul King Palace, he similarly lacked the confidence to block Jin's earlier slash.
Yet Yhwach blocked it completely unscathed.
Apart from immortality, there really didn't seem to be any other explanation.
"Everyone, let's attack together… Ow!"
Rukia was about to draw her sword when her head received a sharp knock from Jin.
"Wh-what are you doing?"
Rukia scolded, angry but not daring to show it too much.
"What can you do? Go back and have babies. The battlefield isn't for you."
Jin walked slowly towards Yhwach.
"Who's going to have babies with you…"
Rukia gritted her teeth and muttered under her breath.
"Facing the power of my Almighty, you still refuse to give up?"
Yhwach's tone remained arrogant.
"Your ability reminds me of another idiot leader. His ability and appearance were very similar to yours, liking to place eyeballs in some strange places."
Yhwach's [Almighty] really made Jin think of Danzo.
Izanagi is the power to alter 'reality', and the Almighty is the power to alter the 'future'.
It just doesn't require consuming a Sharingan with each use as a cost.
Therefore, in Jin's eyes now, Yhwach could be said to be a Super Supreme Plus Pro Enhanced Version Danzo.
Heh, what's there to be afraid of?
A half-dead Sasuke could take down Danzo.
He, Uchiha · Saiyan · Number One Pure Love Warrior in the 2D World · Jin…
how could he possibly fail to take down an enhanced version of Danzo?
