"My successor, retreat. This is a battle you do not want to interfere with." Yhwach ordered. Uryū nodded and sank into the shadows. Yhwach looked at Ichibē.
" It would do you no good to underestimate me, monk. I am destined to take the empty throne. " Yhwach declared proudly. Ichibē spun his short glaive and assumed a combat stance.
" As long as I'm here, you will not succeed, Yhwach."

The Shinigami were horrified by the recent events that transpired. " Ichigo.... No! Ichigo!! " Rukia screamed in horror. Byakuya held her back.
" Rukia, calm down Rukia. Do not come to conclusions that soon! " Byakuya scolded. Rukia sobbed.
" Didn't you see what happened?" Rukia argued.
"Yes! Yes I did. But Rukia, you forgot that Ichigo has The Almighty. He just wanted to make that monk believe he killed him. " Byakuya explained. Rukia looked back at the floating screen that was showing Yhwach battling Ichibē.
"So he's not dead. Then where is he?" Rukia asked. Byakuya shook his head.
"I don't know what he's planning, Rukia. But I think we can all agree that it's going to be a game changer. "

Yhwach was battling Ichibē. He was doing well. He kept dodging ichibē's ink. He knew what Ichigo was doing, he just needed to buy enough time for him to succeed.
"Hm!!!" Yhwach grunted as he swung his bright blue broadsword at Ichibē who dodged his attack. Yhwach then fired a massive barrage of Heilig Pfeil at him point blank.
Ichibē dodged the barrage. Yhwach's attacks were relentless. Ichibē didn't have any breathing room to think about his next attack because.
Ichibē swiped his glaive at him again, sending ink. The ink unfortunately sprayed all over Yhwach's body. Ichibē smirked. Anything that this ink covers loses its name, and thus its powers.
However that smirk disappeared immediately as the ink disappeared. Yhwach's clothing was in pristine condition. He had three reddish-brown eyes in each eye socket.
Yhwach grinned broadly at him. "You think you could defeat me this easily? Ha! Think again!" Yhwach declared. He was about to attack Ichibē but he stopped. Yhwach smirked. He disappeared using Hirenkyaku and reappeared beside the Soul King's seal.
Ichigo was facing the Soul King who stared back at him blankly.
Ichigo touched the yellow colored barrier. "Rest assured, Reiō. You can finally rest in peace now. Your legacy... it will continue properly with me." Ichigo whispered and stabbed his blade straight through the Soul King's chest.
Ichigo suddenly widened his eyes and gasped as he was forcefully brought into his inner world.
.

Ichigo blinked and looked around him. The inner world's surroundings were completely different. Instead of a grassy field, it turned into a golden room.
Ichigo was staring at a man who had his back turned to him. The man had black hair and was wearing a white colored haori.[Pic]
The man then turned towards him. Ichigo widened his eyes as he was staring at the Soul King who has all of his limbs.
The Soul King smiled warmly at him. "Ah! You have finally arrived, my successor. Just as I foresaw all those years ago." He told him.
"You know who I am?" Ichigo asked in surprise. He nodded.
"I foresaw your whole journey, Ichigo. And now that you're here, right in front of me. I'm proud to have a successor as strong as you." The Soul King was standing in front of him now. He outstretched his right hand.
"Please, make this world a better place to live in. Do what I couldn't." He told him. Ichigo nodded and shook his hand.
"I will." Ichigo answered.
"Good luck, Ichigo." The Soul King said his final words before a bright golden glow engulfed both of them entirely.

*FSHOOOOOOMMMMBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!*
Yhwach gasped and knelt down on the ground as immeasurable amounts of Reiatsu poured out of Ichigo. The Reiatsu pressure was so immense that it literally started tearing the ground into pieces.
It poured out to such a degree that it manifested as countless eyeball creatures that spreaded towards the Wandenreich and surrounded the Soul King Palace.
The Shinigami and Quincy were assuming combat stances as the eyeball creatures approached them slowly. The weaker ones were on the ground either unconscious or breathing heavily.
Nanao was sweating while she was holding up Shinken Hakkyōken. "Ichigo.... Please stop!" Nanao shouted desperately. Then she started coughing violently.
Yhwach was also struggling to breathe properly. He was looking at Ichigo who had a shadow covering his entire body and the Soul King's seal.
Suddenly it stopped, the Reiatsu stopped pouring out of Ichigo. It was very silent while the dark shadow still covered Ichigo and the Soul King's seal.
The eyeball creatures all stared creepily at Ichibē.
"I see you....."
*FSHHHHHOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!!!*
The shadow exploded outwards while the eyeball creatures that were spread around Wandenreich and the Soul King Palace retracted to Ichigo. There was a bright glow emanating from him. Yhwach and Ichibē covered their eyes.
The glow died down, revealing Ichigo who was completely different than before. He was wearing the attire the Soul King had worn when he met him in his inner world.
His Zanpakutō had changed drastically. There were no claymores in sight, instead he was holding a pure white katana. Each of Ichigo's eyes have four black irises in them.
His neck length hair was now slicked-back and dark.
Yhwach swore Ichigo looked like the Soul King in some ways. Ichigo ignored his shocked face and looked at Ichibē's horrified one.
Ichibē growled angrily. "Shin'uchi: Shirafude Ichimonji!!!!!"
Ichibē declared loudly. Uniquely, Ichibē activates his Bankai by calling out 'Shin'uchi' instead of Bankai, as Ichimonji was the first Zanpakutō to take on an evolved form long before the term 'Bankai' existed.
Upon activation, the blade of Ichibē's brush turns white and becomes a long, thick thread that coils in the air around him.
The thick thread splashed out a bunch of ink towards Ichigo and Yhwach. Yhwach used Hirenkyaku to dodge the ink. Ichigo was sprayed entirely by it.
Ichibē grinned. "Now, you will be as powerless as an ant." Ichibē commented. With Shirafude Ichimonji, Ichibē can give and change the name of targets who have been struck by the ink of Ichimonji by writing kanji on their body; doing so gives his target the properties and powers of the name granted.
" It's good to see you know your place, Ichibē Hyōsube." Ichigo replied with the ink on him completely gone without even a small drop on him.
Ichibē suddenly felt something wrong with him. 'Wait! Where's my Reiatsu?! Where's my Zanpakutō!?' Ichibē panicked and looked all over himself. Sure enough, his was covered by black ink everywhere.
Ichibē looked at Ichigo in horror. Ichigo looked back at him with his unique eyes.
"I hate ants. They annoy me." Ichigo muttered and raised his katana.
" Witness the work of God, Ichibē Hyōsube." Ichigo added.
"Divine Departure." Ichigo whispered and swung his katana a little.
*BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
Ichibē was instantly obliterated. He just disappeared. The ground behind him and the Palace below was obliterated too.
A large part of the sea clouds disappeared too, so was every building in the Wandenreich.
Nanao screamed as millions of pieces of rubble flew everywhere. Shunsui stood in front of here to protect her.
Ichigo was unfazed by his own show of strength. If anything, he was surprised that it only did that much damage.
Yhwach witness all of this with horror in his eyes. He realized something then and there. His ambitions are destroyed. He cannot keep fighting anymore.....
