Chapter 52: Revenge.

Ringo, grinned as his body vanished in a burst of green light, all that was left behind was the dead bodies of millions of hollows, along with the eerie quiet of the place.

Back with Yhwach, he looked down at the Soul King in front of him, before stabbing his sword through the crystal and impaling the Soul King through the chest.

Ichibe down below the Soul King's palace, sat up from the ground and sighed as he felt the crystal holding Ringo break apart, Ichigo and his friends watched him.

"Ichigo, I know what I am about to say will come as a shock, But Ringo, the former captain of the 5th division is still alive"

Ichibe says with a dull look on his face, his eyes cold and distant, Ichigo who sensed The reiatsu of Ringo is not surprised, but it still came off as weird since everyone thought he died.

"So why don't we know that?"

Ichigo asked with confusion and questions in his tone, looking at Ichibe for answers, who just sighed, like he was sad as he started talking, trying to manipulate Ichigo.

"It's because I sealed him"

Ichigo suddenly opened his eyes wide, and he gripped his Zanpakuto as he stared at Ichibe with vigilant eyes, Yoruichi who was behind him suddenly opened her eyes wide.

Just before Ichigo and Yoruichi were about to question him, Ichibe continued with his story.

"I sealed him because he was trying to unbalance the 3 worlds, so it could go back to its former state"

Ichigo was confused, while Yoruichi stared at Ichibe like a clown in a circus, Ringo would never try to do that, he was not that kind of person and he would never do that.

"Former state? What do you mean?"

Ichigo asked in confusion, and Ichibe who saw him take the bait almost smiled before he started explaining the primordial sea world, his tone solemn with worried eyes.

"The primordial sea, the state where the 3 worlds were 1 before the soul king decided to split it into 3 worlds, the soul society, the living world, and Hueco Mundo"

At the revelation, Ichigo and his friends opened their eyes wide, in shock at the thought that Ringo would try to do something like that, But Ichigo was still hesitant to believe that.

"And what would happen if those 3 worlds fused back into 1?"

Ichigo asked.

"Everyone would die, and it would start a new age"

Ichigo gripped his sword handle, and he started questioning it, but before he could think, the place started to shake as the soul king was stabbed, Ichibe sensing it looked at Ichigo.

"Ichigo, go and defeat Yhwach before the soul king is killed"

Ichigo and his friends nodded as they immediately went towards the palace, with Yoruichi looking back at Ichibe with cold eyes, she was not as dumb as the rest, and she knew what he was trying to do.

"Ichigo, don't trust a word he says"

Yoruichi muttered, But Ichigo still managed to hear her due to his enhanced senses.

"I Know"

Ichigo replied, he knew that someone like Ringo would never try to do something as crazy as making the 3 worlds fuse back into one.

As Ichigo reached the Soul Palace, Ringo who was using his full speed, made it above the Soul Society, and started flying up toward the Soul Palace.

In seconds he reached it, before entering forcefully, breaking whatever seal Ichibe put on it, his Reiatsu overpowering his powers, and erasing it like it was nothing.

Ichibe who was sitting on the floor, opened his eyes, and he looked at Ringo who was now walking towards him with a calm face, with a groan he stood up.

His powers were still not fully restored as he had just died from Yhwach, and his powers needed time to come back, Ringo looked at him, and with a sanpo, he was next to him.

"Why did you seal me?"

Ringo asked with a calm voice, Ichibe looked at him, his eyes cold and distant, along with arrogance mixed inside his eyes.

"Because you are starting to become a threat to the soul king"

Ringo looked at Ichibe, and he clenched his fist as it landed on the sternum of Ichibe, sending him flying into the wooden planks, destroying it and making Ichibe spit out blood.

"You know what, I am gonna kill the soul king after this, and you can't stop me"

Ringo who heard what Ichibe said, grinned with anger in his eyes, the air around him distorting due to his reiatsu boiling in anger.

He already knew why the Soul King considered him to be a threat to himself, it's because since he copied the powers of Mimhagi, he can't view the future, or his future at least.

Ichibe coughed up blood as he weakly stood up from the ground, Ringo appeared next to him, and he clenched his hand around Ichibe's throat, before pulling him in the air.

"For the next 10 minutes or so, I will torture you, and then mutilate your body, the same way as the soul king, while keeping you alive at the same time"

 Ringo used stillness on Ichibe, and his finger became hard as he poked into the hand of Ichibe, making him let out a groan of pain, before Ringo heated his finger up, melting the muscles and skin on Ichibe's right arm.

"ARHHHH!!"

Ichibe screamed out in pain, Ringo's finger was pulled out, and then stabbed into his body again, This time he made spikes of Reishi around his finger, before having them spin around at high speed.

Like a blender cutting meat into shreds, the inside of Ichibe's arm was cut up, his bones and muscles mixing together with his blood, Ichibe screamed as he punched Ringo.

Boom!

An explosion of air was created, but it did nothing to Ringo as he used stillness on his body, Ringo smirked in satisfaction before his other hand was heated up, and then placed on the hand that hit him.

"Arg!"

Ichibe groaned, his eyes widening in pain as his hand was set on fire from the heat, a palm-shaped burn on his hand as Ringo's palm slowly melted his hand, with his nerves not being damaged at all.

"I am gonna make it so your nerves and mind are not harmed, and have you feel the pain of your body being burned and mutilated"

Ringo said, his voice like a whisper of dread and death to Ichibe, who had his right arm suddenly ripped off, his nerves coming out of the severed arm like roots from a tree.

Gripping the severed arm, he hit Ichibe in the crotch, an explosion of air being felt as his eggs and small bump were crushed into pieces, Ichibe screamed, but no sound came out.

"Don't scream like a sissy, we are not done yet~"
