Yhwach? Versus Ulquiorra

He slowly stood up and put his hands in his pockets.

"Gentlemen, we have no rivals ahead."

After saying that, he walked towards the city gate, and the members of the Espada all stood up and followed behind him.

The Las Noches were wide open.

Aizen led the Espada and their lieutenants out and stopped about a hundred meters in front of the Quincy army.

Aizen smiled and said, "Welcome to my Hueco Mundo."

The two armies faced each other in formation.

In terms of sheer numbers, the Quincy currently have the upper hand, with nearly a thousand soldiers and over twenty Sternritter members.

The Espada only has about a hundred people at most.

However, this is because they did not summon the Hollows from Las Noches and Hueco Mundo.

If it were simply a matter of numbers, Aizen would be the true king of Hueco Mundo, capable of transforming the endless Hollows of Hueco Mundo into soldiers and launching suicidal charges against these Quincy.

However, although the number of Espada and lieutenants following Aizen was small, the aura they exuded was incredibly powerful.

Especially Grimmjow and Nnoitra, they looked like they were about to strike at any moment, their eyes filled with undisguised killing intent.

Yhwach took nine steps forward and spoke loudly:

"Sōsuke Aizen, I am Yhwach, the King of the Quincy of the Wandenreich Yhwach."

Aizen also took nine steps forward, met her gaze, and smiled as he spoke:

"Yhwach, what brings you to my Hueco Mundo?"

"Sōsuke Aizen, I've been observing you for a long time. You also want to attack the Soul King Palace and tear those celestial beings to shreds, don't you?" Yhwach said in a deep voice.

Without much pleasantry, he continued, "Then why not join forces with us and attack Soul Society together?"

Aizen indeed didn't know much about the Wandenreich before him, because records about them had been deliberately erased.

The last battle between the Wandenreich and the Soul Reapers was a thousand years ago, before he was even born.

Ever since Tokoyo Misao out that the Wandenreich still existed, Aizen had been keeping a close eye on it.

Unfortunately, these guys hiding in the shadows hadn't shown any weakness until now, and suddenly they were right in front of him again.

A glint of gold flashed in Aizen's eyes as he smiled and spoke:

"Yhwach, what is your purpose?"

Yhwach laughed and opened his arms:

"My goal is simple: to return the Three Worlds to chaos and create a new world without death or suffering!"

"Whether human, Soul Reaper, or even you Hollows, no one needs to fear death anymore, nor be dominated by fear. How wonderful such a new world would be."

Most of the Star Cross Order members behind him also showed expressions of longing.

This utopian world is their only pursuit.

However, the reactions from the Hueco Mundo factions were mixed.

Aizen frowned, his eyes filled with disbelief, seemingly unable to comprehend why the King of the Quincy could utter such words.

Even among the Espada, Grimmjow already showed a look of disdain.

Upon hearing this, even Nnoitra's killing intent intensified.

The other Espada didn't show much, but it was clear that they didn't seem to yearn for the new world Yhwach had described.

One of the men, in particular, with pink hair, was trying to grin, but he pressed his hand tightly to his mouth, his body trembling uncontrollably. It was clear that he was struggling to hold back his laughter.

Within the Sternritter, a black-haired girl, seeing this, pointed a finger at the pink-haired Hollow and roared:

"You bastard, how dare you disrespect His Majesty! You deserve to die!"

She was about to make a move, but was held back tightly by her two companions.

"Bambi, His Majesty has not yet spoken."

Bambietta, a member of the Sternritter Schrift E, snarled and glared intently at the person opposite him.

And the one she was staring at was the Eighth Espada Szayelaporro Granz.

"Hehe, hahaha." He raised his head and let out a suppressed laugh.

After a moment, he bowed to Aizen and said, "I'm sorry, Lord Aizen, I just couldn't help it, it was too funny."

Aizen, maintaining his smile, responded softly:

"You're not wrong, Szayelaporro, that joke is indeed very funny."

The two men's brief words ignited the Sternritter, and they all became restless.

Haschwalth immediately reached out to stop everyone, turned his head coldly, and swept his cold eyes over everyone.

That icy gaze conveyed a clear message: anyone who dares to act rashly before His Majesty makes a move will surely die.

Yhwach ignored their words and instead asked with a puzzled expression:

"Sōsuke Aizen, has this negotiation failed?"

His tone remained the same as at the beginning, seemingly unsurprised that his ideals had failed to move Aizen or the Arrancar behind him.

Aizen responded gently:

"Sorry, this utterly boring world isn't worth creating."

As he finished speaking, the Sternritter and the Espada simultaneously unleashed a powerful aura, their killing intent palpable.

This killing intent materialized and shot into the sky. The two forces collided and clashed in the sky, producing a thunderous sound.

The shockwave from the collision swept across the entire Hueco Mundo, and even Hollows thousands of miles away felt the force of the attack, causing them to flee in terror into the sand dunes.

Even in the Forest of Menos beneath the sand dunes, the Gillian creatures began to stir restlessly, firing Cero more haphazardly and frequently.

Aizen up Yhwach, and in his perception, this guy was less of a threat than Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai.

He had no interest in making a move, so he just stood there with his hands in his pockets.

"How arrogant, Sōsuke Aizen." Yhwach clenched his right hand, not with the Quincy symbol of the Reishi Bow, but by directly pulling out the Heilig Pfeil.

The arrow, which should have been launched with a bow and arrow, was held in his hand as if it were a separate weapon.

He clenched his right fist, aimed at Sōsuke Aizen's head, and hurled it.

In that instant, the shockwave generated by the Heilig Pfeil thrown from the ground exploded, creating a pitch-black crack.

Despite such an attack, Sōsuke Aizen remained with his hands in his pockets, a smile on his face, and made no move whatsoever.

Just as the Heilig Pfeil reached about half a meter in front of Aizen's nose, a withered, pale hand reached out and grabbed the arrow.

Then, with a slight exertion of force, a snap! The Heilig Pfeil that Yhwach had fired was actually crushed by the opponent.

Standing in front of Aizen at this moment was Ulquiorra Cifer, the Fourth Espada.

His face was expressionless. He had just crushed Yhwach's Heilig Pfeil of Annihilation with a single blow of his right hand. His left hand was in his pocket as he spoke in a cold voice:

"Lord Aizen, this guy wants to create such an empty world."

He didn't finish his sentence, but Aizen responded gently:

"Yes, I allow it."

"Thank you, Lord Aizen."

Ulquiorra then turned his body to face the sun, his emerald green eyes fixed intently on Yhwach.

His conversation with Aizen just now was about requesting permission to Yhwach Aizen, and Aizen granted it.

"Soldier against soldier, general against general," Haschwalth said softly.

Cang Du, a member of the Sternritter with a pair of hooked claws in his hands, stepped forward:

"Then let me go."

Haschwalth didn't speak, but looked at Yhwach in front of him, who also remained silent.

Haschwalth then gave Cang Du a wink.

Cang Du went into battle with a grim face. He looked at Ulquiorra and said angrily:

"You, a mere wretch like yourself? How dare you challenge our Emperor! You deserve to die!"

The next moment, he unleashed Hirenkyaku, his figure vanishing from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already directly in front of Ulquiorra, seemingly intending to kill him head-on.

His hands were adorned with claw blades, which he crossed and placed in front of his chest.

At this moment, he manipulated the surrounding spiritual energy to gather on his claws, and then swung them out. His claws transformed into two giant spiritual snakes, opening their mouths to reveal sharp teeth, and bit down fiercely at Ulquiorra.

Ulquiorra remained expressionless. Faced with such an attack, he merely raised his right index finger and slightly opened his mouth:

"Cero."

The ball of spiritual energy, shaped like a marble, suddenly burst forth from the tip of the index finger, transforming into Cero nearly a hundred meters in diameter. It instantly engulfed the two spiritual energy snakes, and even Cang Du behind them was enveloped within it.

Cang Du, struck by this massive Cero, felt excruciating pain all over his body.

He opened his mouth to shout, but the moment he opened it, the power of the Cero rushed in.

These Cero, composed entirely of ethereal Reishi, passed through his mouth like sulfur, sliced through his throat, and reached his internal organs, burning and corroding everything.

The pain was unbearable for Cang Du, but he didn't have to endure it.

As the pain intensified, his body gradually disintegrated, eventually turning to ashes and leaving not a trace.

"What?"

The members of the Sternritter all widened their eyes.

Although in their minds, Cang Du was not considered a particularly powerful individual, he was still one of the Sternritter.

Moreover, he also obtained His Majesty's blood and acquired the power of the Schrift.

But faced with that Cero attack, he didn't even have time to activate his Vollständig before he died.

This is absolutely wrong.

Haschwalth spoke calmly:

"So that's how it is. This is Gran Rey Cero. It is indeed powerful. You all need to be careful in a moment and activate your Blut Vene or Vollständig in advance."

"Cang Du was too arrogant and conceited, allowing the power of the void to invade his body, which is why he died so easily."

Hearing Haschwalth's words, the members of the Sternritter breathed a sigh of relief.

That's right, the power of Hollows is extremely poisonous to Quincy.

But no matter what kind of poison it is, as long as it is kept outside the body, there will be no problem.

Cang Du died so quickly because he was too careless. He couldn't open the Blut Vene or the Vollständig. He deserved to die.

An eerie silence suddenly fell over the scene. The Sternritter, having not received orders from Yhwach, did not launch a general attack.

Aizen, however, simply stood with his hands in his pockets, a calm smile on his face, showing no intention of engaging in a full-scale battle.

Chapter 176 Yhwach vs. Ulquiorra

Yhwach's words broke the eerie silence:

"I see, Sōsuke Aizen."

Do you think that by ruling Hueco Mundo and having these Arrancar as your subordinates, you can easily deal with the Quincy?

He took a step forward, but his gaze wasn't on Aizen; instead, it was fixed on Ulquiorra.

"Indeed, Hollow Reishi are highly poisonous to Quincy."

But in the face of absolute power, poison is nothing more than something that makes one feel good about having diarrhea.

He took another step forward and said:

"Haschwalth, none of you need to participate."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Haschwalth replied.

At the same time, Aizen turned around, stepped back, and stood in front of the remaining Espada, giving up the battlefield without saying a word.
