Ichibei kept questioning why his precognition had ceased to exist and thought of various possibilities. And the most probable of them all was the fact that he absorbed Kisuke. For some reason, it destabilized his form and affected his abilities.
'This should just be a temporary problem.' Ichibei reassured himself. Of course, this isn't just some baseless optimism. He already predicted that something like this may happen since this form is technically in an experimental stage. Ideally, he would want to compress this form into the size of a normal Human and concentrate his strength.
Kisuke has something very foreign from the current world so Ichibei is pinning that as the main reason for his destabilization. Even then, the amount of destruction he could cause didn't lessen, instead, he seemed to have absorbed his abilities to manipulate the elements.
Ichibei was only able to calm down when his instincts told him that the future where he would meet unknown people with Spiritual abilities still holds [True], 'At this level, instincts provide more benefits since most of the abilities and phenomenons couldn't be explained by logic.'
This absence of precognition also explains why he couldn't see the specific timeline before reaching that future, 'So that's why it's a blank canvas. I don't have the ability to 'see' at that point in time. In that case, I just have to follow this blank canvas to come out of that future.' He doesn't know how long it'll take, but it's certainly a future where he exists and his cognition will return.
For starters, Ichibei was able to reach the Soul Society and stop whatever they were doing by blocking the dimension with his own power. His arm was cut off but it's not something concerning for Ichibei.
The boundary that he destroyed was also blocked by ice but he still could see everything that was happening beyond it. But soon, his emotional turmoil returned when he saw Yhwach making his appearance. The two of them looked at each other's 'eyes' and Ichibei figured that he found out his current situation.
In an attempt to cover up the previous festering fear, Ichibei erupted into rage, 'These pests.'
Regenerating his severed arm, Ichibei extended out his hands and blocked the beam of light that came from the Red Dragon.
Ichibei retracted his arms and created a circular motion with his hands, turning the beam of light into a ball of light in front of him. This red ball of light expanded in his hands before he slowly pushed it back to where it came from.
The one who sent it, a young-looking girl with a shadow of a 50-meter red Dragon around her was visibly shocked and roared at the counterattack in an attempt to intercept it.
But her roar only shaved a little bit of power behind it and she had to ball herself up to defend. The poor Dragon was blasted back to where it came from and crashed into the grounds of the Seireitei destroying a part of the 8th Division's jurisdiction. Considering that the entire Seireitei is about five times Japan in size, this was a sizable amount of damage.
'It's still alive.' Ichibei thought with his vision not impeded by any obstacle, 'But it shouldn't be able to move for a while.'
In addition to returning her attack, Ichibei also imbued a sealing technique in it. So when the attack hit her, Flanna was instantly enveloped by tape-like black material as she was buried deep beneath the ground.
Next, Ichibei closed his hands together as if praying. This gesture doesn't only increase the output of his technique and spells but also his control over them.
Golden hands appeared within the Soul Society and the three that were about to assault the black giant, Serafall, Yamamoto, and Issei were startled because they found them moving towards them at an incredible speed. It was the same hands that almost completely destroyed Kisuke in his monstrous form.
"Shit!" Issei shouted and immediately transformed his armor into a speed-type. However, he could only move forward and he won't be able to bring Serafall and the old man with him to escape. He could only pray that they survive this.
By turning the power that he has been gathering and using it as propulsion, Issei shoots forward, turning into light while leaving behind a loud boom. This allowed him to dodge the hands but he also knew that those hands were deliberately positioned in a way that he would overextend himself towards the enemy.
And when Issei looked back, he saw a horrifying sight of two people squashed between the hands like mosquitoes.
Yamamoto was still holding his sword but his limbs were pointing in the wrong direction and streams of blood were coming out of his body. Thankfully, he's still alive and the heat that was coming off him is actually melting his surroundings, allowing him to have a bit of space.
Serafall, on the other hand, although a lot less bloody compared to the former, was arguably in a far worse situation than Yamamoto with one of each of her arms and legs missing and her entire body cracking under immense stress.
Since her body was made out of ice in her Super Devil form, there's no blood that's coming out of her.
She was supposed to be invulnerable to most attacks but Serafall, whose body was about to collapse could only grit her teeth and think, '...These hands, they directly attack the soul.' Serafall already expected this, but she didn't expect that it would go through her defenses instantly.
After staying in this world for some time where Spiritual abilities were the norm, Serafall already prepared appropriate countermeasures against it, and considering that it's one of her only few weaknesses in her Super Devil form, she made sure to go above and beyond. So much so that she wouldn't be fatally injured even if a Shinigami's Zanpakuto cut her body in half.
But all of that was rendered useless against this attack and was now on the verge of being crushed to death, '...This is bad. Now that I know Kisuke is still alive, I can't fall here.'
"Serafall-san!" Issei shouted from in the distance, intending to drill his way through the translucent golden hands.
[Worry about yourself first, partner!]
"!?" Issei also immediately felt the threat, however, he wasn't sure where it was coming from and it was already too late when he realized that a few jet-black spears were already piercing through him, "W-what?"
'Three more pests down. But that woman clad in ice seems more trouble than it's worth.' Ichibei thought to himself before deciding to completely eliminate Serafall.
Ichibei gathered his immense strength within his forefinger and reached out for his target.
It wasn't just Issei who was near Ichibei but also everyone else who realized the gravity of the situation.
