The Battle Royale at the Soul King Palace Begins

"Do you even know where he is, yet you go to stop him?" Orihime Inoue, somewhat puzzled.

They're standing here precisely because they can't see the people of the Wandenreich.

"And Ichigo, have you thought it through? Do you want to stop Yhwach, or stop Aizen?"

Orihime Inoue showed no confusion whatsoever.

She was prepared from the beginning to help Ichigo achieve his goal, but he kept hesitating, which prevented her from taking action.

"The current priority is Yhwach; he has already entered the Soul King Palace."

There's a sound over there.

Ichigo Kurosaki had a strange intuition that Yhwach had entered the Soul King Palace through some unknown means the moment the meteorite appeared.

So he decided to follow them and stop them.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Just as the two had finished making their decision, a deafening roar that silenced the heavens and earth came from the sky.

Chapter 189 The Battle at the Soul King Palace Begins

Haha, how about it?

Could Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai deliver an attack like this, a meteorite capable of destroying all life on Earth?

"Can he do it? Only I can do it!" Gremmy spread his arms, raised his head, looked at his masterpiece, and let out an extremely arrogant laugh.

At this moment, under the Wandenreich.

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto used his Bankai, the immense Reiatsu still didn't make him feel that his opponent was superior to him.

Gremmy continued, "He has no chance of severing the meteor I summoned."

As he spoke, he held his head up at a 45-degree angle, his eyes looking down, using his peripheral vision to glance at Tokoyo Misao:

"And you, too, will die from this blow."

Two soft sounds, "click" and "thump".

Tokoyo Misao removed the restraints from his shoulder, sighed, and said:

"A meteorite? Your imagination has reached its limit. Now let me show you my true power."

Tokoyo Misao assumed a horse stance, pulled his left hand back to his waist, made a fist with his right hand, and clenched his blood-red fist in the palm of his left hand.

He released his suppression of the Blood Hand, and in an instant, that Hell power clung to the blood vessels around the heart, but was blocked by World Crossing.

This force quickly spread throughout the body via the blood vessels.

Because of the World Crossing, although other parts of the skin showed abnormalities, it was only like an allergic reaction to alcohol, with blushes appearing intermittently.

It doesn't have the same depth Kenpachi Zaraki's Bankai; the color is much lighter.

Tokoyo Misao raised his head and looked at the huge meteorite in the sky.

"Gremmy, this will be a serious punch from me."

"Pfft, haha! This guy's got some funny talking, and he even threw a serious punch, it's hilarious!" Gremmy clutched his stomach, trembling, and laughed heartily.

He really hadn't expected Tokoyo Misao to tell jokes, and it made him burst into laughter.

Tokoyo Misao then added, "Watch closely, this punch is going to be really cool."

Then he stomped his feet hard on the ground, and at the same time, the Wahrwelt beneath his feet instantly cracked open.

He shot towards the massive meteorite in the sky like a shooting star, throwing a punch.

With a deafening boom, his fist slammed into the surface of the meteorite.

The meteorite that made contact with the fist instantly developed cracks, which spread out like shattered glass.

Gremmy's eyes widened instantly. "Impossible! It can actually shatter?"

It is indeed a very strong force, but even if you shatter this meteorite.

It will still crash to the ground; you can't completely stop it—"

But before he could finish speaking, his neck was suddenly gripped and he stopped.

In the next instant, a black aura emerged from the fist and entered the crack in the meteorite.

This black aura enveloped the entire meteorite instantly, like a bucket of ink being poured onto a blank sheet of paper.

With a loud thud, this enormous meteorite vanished as if it had never existed.

Gremmy just stared blankly at Tokoyo Misao, who stood in the sky, constantly opening and closing his blood-red hand, as if his punch just now, though serious, had not used his full strength.

Even judging from his facial expression, he seemed somewhat dissatisfied.

Who exactly is this guy?

The extent of Gremmy's imagination can be seen from his constant self-proclaimed status as the strongest in the Sternritter.

However, this is indeed the case. Even Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai, who had just activated his Bankai, was unable to annihilate the meteorite that Tokoyo Misao had just Bankai.

It was as if all the pressure that had just occurred was nothing but an illusion.

Gremmy's eyes were now fixed on that blood-red arm.

He's too strong! This guy is just too strong. We can't defeat him by relying solely on creation. We must become stronger ourselves.

Only by surpassing him, by surpassing the color red, can we reach the other shore.

When the idea first appeared in Gremmy's mind, it grew uncontrollably and wildly.

A moment later, he grinned. "Haha, thank you for showing me what the strongest physique looks like."

And now, I can imagine it too: you are nothing more than a blood-red arm.

And I will have a complete body; look, this is my evolved body."

Standing in the sky, still with his hands outstretched and fists clenched, Tokoyo Misao looked down.

This kid finally fell for it.

Sure enough, when Gremmy imagined himself possessing a body superior to Bloodhand's, his body suddenly exploded.

In less than a breath, his entire body shattered, leaving only a device containing his brain floating in the air, from which strange popping sounds emanated.

But Tokoyo Misao had no interest in listening or trying to explain.

He appeared beside the brain, reached out his bloody hand, and grabbed it.

"Didn't I tell you? Your imagination is severely lacking."

This brain is Gremmy's true form; he was originally just a brain.

Only after receiving the power of Schrift from Yhwach did he gain the ability to materialize his imagination.

The teenager's appearance he just saw was also a product of his imagination using his abilities.

The brain, held captive in a bloody hand, kept contracting and expanding, as if it wanted to say something.

Bang! Tokoyo Misao crushed it in one bite and shook his hand.

That troublesome guy is finally done.

Looking down, the Wahrwelt had already split in two, but abruptly, it showed no sign of falling down; instead, it crashed straight into the Soul King Palace.

He turned his head and saw that the Soul King Palace had appeared in the sky above Soul Society.

At this moment, the five Riden above just floated there.

On one of the Riden, there was Orihime Inoue, Ichigo Kurosaki, and an unfamiliar Reiatsu.

The opposite side was enveloped in an aura as dark as night.

To be precise, Orihime and Ichigo should be behind, the aura of darkness in front, and that unfamiliar aura sandwiched in between.

It seems to be caught in a pincer movement.

Although he didn't know how Yhwach sneaked into the Soul King Palace, the guy caught in the middle must have been him.

The Soul King Palace was wide open, the battlefield was in chaos, and the opportunity had arrived. He immediately flashed forward.

At the same time, a familiar figure followed, it was Sōsuke Aizen.

He spoke without hesitation, saying, "The Soul King has five Riden. Go and clear out the people inside, in pairs."

The Espada dispersed, each choosing to head to a Riden.

When Aizen caught up with Tokoyo Misao, who had deliberately slowed down to wait, he smiled and said:

"Brother Misao, now you can tell me your purpose. If we don't have any conflicts, I think we can still cooperate."

After a moment's thought, Tokoyo Misao replied, "To kill the monk, I also need Yhwach's body."

Aizen seemed somewhat surprised upon hearing this, but quickly seemed to understand why, and smiled as he spoke:

"I see. That does indeed align with my goals. I was also looking for someone to replace that poor guy. Well then, it'll be a pleasure to work together again."

This time Tokoyo Misao did not respond to Aizen.

Below the Wahrwelt, Ōmaeda excitedly clenched his fists, stretched them towards the sky in a "Banzai" gesture, and shouted joyfully:

"Captain-Commander Yamamoto is the strongest! Long live Captain-Commander Yamamoto! As long as Captain-Commander Yamamoto is here, no enemy can be arrogant!"

Among all the captains and vice-captains, he was the only one cheering.

Ōmaeda glanced around with some confusion and noticed that each of the team leaders looked anxious.

He looked at his captain, who was in the same boat, and asked with some confusion:

"Captain, what's wrong? Didn't Captain-Commander Yamamoto already cut that thing in half?"

"Fool! Didn't you notice that the castle is still heading towards the Soul King Palace's Palace's Riden?" Soi Fon stared intently at the Wahrwelt.

Now, although it has been split in two, it has accelerated its speed and crashed towards the Riden, taking with it the remaining Quincy and the remaining Void beings.

Kisuke Urahara said, "Although Captain-Commander Yamamoto's attack cleaved the Wahrwelt, it didn't cause any real damage to the entire Valley of Screams Space."

Ōmaeda turned his head in confusion. "What are you talking about? Wasn't it already split in two? How can you say there was no damage?" He didn't quite understand; what he saw before him was clearly that the enemy's base had been destroyed.

Kisuke Urahara sighed, "That city is merely the center of Valley of Screams Space."

Just like our Soul Society, the land where Seireitei and Rukongai are located belongs to the Soul Society, but not all of it.

The Soul Society's ocean and sky, when viewed as a whole, constitute what is called the Soul Society.

Captain-Commander Yamamoto's attack was indeed very strong; he essentially shattered the Seireitei and the Rukongai, but he didn't manage to cut through the sky or the atmosphere.

We also misjudged the situation, focusing solely on the land of the Wandenreich, when in fact its spatial dimension had already crashed into the Soul King Palace.

Kisuke had to admit that the sheer number and urgency of the situation led him to misjudge the situation.

His hands clenched involuntarily, overwhelmed by self-reproach.

Now, everyone turned to look at the other side of the sky and could see the Soul King Palace, which had been opened, and the five Riden above it. It was clear that there were Quincy in each of the Riden.

Meanwhile, Misao had already rushed over to provide support, Aizen also led the Espada to charge forward.

Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai spoke in a deep voice, "I'll deal with Aizen and Yhwach. The rest of the Riden will be your responsibility."

After saying that, he took a step and rushed towards one of the Riden, hurrying there at top speed.

He wanted to use his fastest Shunpo, but found that he couldn't get any speed up at all.

Only then did he realize that he had entered the Valley of Screams Space of the Wandenreich.

The ability to walk on air is already due to the reaction force generated by his powerful stomping on the air; it's not the Shunpo.

This space does indeed impose some restrictions on Soul Reaper.

After the captains caught up, they also discovered the situation.

Some of the weaker vice-captains couldn't even stand on air and fell back into Soul Society.

Kisuke Urahara sighed, "This space Quincy for a thousand years, and it has already taken on their shape."

Fortunately, Ichigo Kurosaki and Orihime Inoue had already gone to provide support.

"Once Captain-Commander Yamamoto arrives, the main battle there should be over."

Before he could finish speaking, Shunsui Kyōraku interrupted, saying:
