Chapter 415: Telling Ichigo about his Mother, Zangetzu, Yhwach, etc.
"Come, become a Hollow."
Fang Mo smiled at Kurosaki Ichigo and said.
"This... what?"
After hearing this, Kurosaki Ichigo looked at Fang Mo incredulously: "Mr. Fang Mo, what are you talking about?"
"Is what I said not clear enough?"
Fang Mo clenched his fist and said, "Sometimes the thing you fear is exactly what you need to face. You're afraid that becoming a Hollow will harm your friends, right? It's okay, if you're deluded... let me wake you up!"
"Wake me up?"
Kurosaki Ichigo was completely baffled.
"Since I'm free now, I might as well start with you."
Fang Mo said cheerfully, "I've told you before about Zangetsu inside you... or the one who claims to be Yhwach of Zangetsu, but it was interrupted by Yoruichi last time. Now let me enlighten you about your origins and the source of your power."
"My... origins?"
Kurosaki Ichigo was even more confused after hearing this: "Is there something wrong with my origins?"
"Your mother is actually a pure-blooded Quincy..."
"Cough cough cough."
Before Fang Mo could finish his sentence, Urahara Kisuke suddenly started coughing: "Ah, it's so uncomfortable, feels like I can't study the Garganta anymore."
"Eh? You dare to threaten me?"
Hearing this, Fang Mo raised his eyebrow and then directly said to Kurosaki Ichigo: "See, it's Urahara the old thief who doesn't want me to help you. He probably enjoys seeing you cower like this. After all, the hearts of the Soul Society are filthy; they fear they can't control you if your power is too strong... that fake representative badge is the best proof."
"Hey hey, don't keep slandering me."
Urahara Kisuke couldn't help but retort upon hearing this: "I didn't mean that, it's just that Mr. Kurosaki is not really ready to know those things yet, some things are... perhaps too early for him."
"He's almost older than you, how can you call that early?"
The person knows far more than I imagined, the ins and outs concerning Kurosaki Ichigo and Kurosaki Masaki, combined, are probably known by no more than ten people. Yet, this individual seems to have a complete grasp of such matters.
Honestly, Urahara Kisuke now feels a spine-chilling sensation, as if everything is being observed by the other party.
"Mr. Fang Mo..."
At this moment, Kurosaki Ichigo also suddenly raised his head: "Please tell me more about myself, I beg of you!"
"Can you handle it?"
Fang Mo asked cheerfully.
"I can!" Kurosaki Ichigo said with a resolute face.
"The Hollow that infected your mother with hollowfication was actually created by Sosuke Aizen. Your father was also unable to perform Bankai and defeat that Hollow because of Aizen's surprise attack, which led to your mother joining the battle. As a result, she was bitten by the Hollow, leading to her own hollowfication. So, Aizen was your enemy from the start."
"This matter was eventually handled by Urahara Kisuke, you can ask him if you don't believe me."
Fang Mo then pointed directly at Urahara Kisuke, and just as Urahara was about to speak, he continued: "It's also because of the hollowfication that led to the impurity of your lineage, your mother's powers were absorbed by Yhwach's 'Auswhlen', resulting in her being devoured by that worthless Hollow... Ah, speaking of Yhwach, he is the progenitor of Quincy, and the Zangetsu you use today is an incarnation of his power. Thus, you've been fighting with the power of a Quincy, not a Shinigami; you are not you, you are Uryu Ishida."
"What?"
Kurosaki Ichigo was also stunned; "Uncle Zangetsu is the power of a Quincy? I am Quincy? I am Uryu Ishida?"
"Because you are naturally a tribrid."
Fang Mo said: "Your Quincy power comes from your mother, your Shinigami power from your father, and as for the Hollow within you... that's also a part of you. Don't resist it; try to accept it, find a way to make it recognize you. It should have mentioned something about kings and mounts, right? You are its king, the king to acknowledge, permit, and bear all this. Understand?"
"It... is also my power?"
Kurosaki Ichigo looked down at his hands somewhat dazedly: "But how do I accept it?"
"It's your instinct, and resisting it is futile," Fang Mo said with a smile. "Instinct isn't scary, just like you drink when you're thirsty and eat when you're hungry. All these instincts are ways to keep you alive. It cares about you, and only you. So, can you say it's wrong?"
"I..." Kurosaki Ichigo nodded with a half-understanding: "I understand now..."
"You've grown up, go back and have a good talk with your dad, you might gain something. I always enjoy a good father-son heart-to-heart." Fang Mo patted Kurosaki Ichigo on the shoulder with a smile, then summoned Steve and placed a private dimensional door on the ground: "I can't go back either, might as well study this... What the hell is this!?"
Before he could finish, Fang Mo's expression was as if he had seen a ghost.
