Silbern ultimately disappeared from Hueco Mundo, seemingly symbolizing Yhwach's demise. After all, it was an illusion; it only became real when Yhwach achieved his Soul King fusion with the Wahrwelt.
Haschwalth ultimately succeeded, but he was utterly exhausted; his mental strength had fallen below the dangerous level, and he needed rest. So he and Lille Barro were taken back.
Lille Barro stopped causing trouble and seemed lost in thought, but whatever he was thinking was irrelevant. Las Noches was vast, and Lille Barro had been placed very, very far away, leaving only Ulquiorra to guard him.
The others who were still alive were imprisoned with Haschwalth. This time, the hot-tempered Bazz-B didn't cause Haschwalth any trouble, and the night passed very peacefully.
The next morning, although Haschwalth wasn't in the best of spirits, he was still able to discuss some matters, so the remaining people were brought over.
Chun recounted the Soul King's design once more, leaving the others confused, but it was of little use to them; only Haschwalth truly mattered.
"So I must become the new Soul King?"
"Yes," Jun nodded. "No one knows how much longer the Soul King of Soul Society can last. Well, no, a monk roughly knows, but in any case, the Soul King's energy is about to dissipate, and Soul Society is about to disappear."
"I can become the Soul King"
"Hello!"
At this point, the hot-tempered traitor Bazz-B became unhappy. He and Haschwalth were friends, Little Ichi, and both harbored grudges against Yhwach. However, due to differences in their abilities, Bazz-B Haschwalth —that was all.
But now that Yhwach is dead and the hatred is gone, Bazz-B remembers that they are still friends. After hearing about the Soul King's tragic fate, Bazz-B doesn't want Haschwalth to become the Soul King.
"This is none of your business!"
Chun chuckled and said, "If you don't want to separate, you can become a dual-core team with him."
Bazz-B death. He had absolutely no desire to become something like the Soul King; he wasn't that saintly.
However, Haschwalth shook his head, "I don't need dual cores! I can become the successor to the current Soul King system!"
"Hello!"
"Shut your mouth!"
Bazz-B being scolded by Haschwalth because he realized Haschwalth was serious. Chun could also see that this good kid truly possessed a compassionate heart.
But Chun shook his head, "No."
"Why!?"
"Because the problems facing the afterlife are no longer as simple as they were back then. This is a long story, let's discuss it slowly."
He explained the problems of Soul Society and Hell, and then said...
"You don't need to rush. We can take it slowly. If the Soul King really collapses, it will naturally have a huge impact. You can inherit it directly then without much problem, so there's no need to be in such a hurry."
"You can go and see the World of the Living first. So many years have World of the Living, and the world is very different from what it was a thousand years ago. Besides, Quincy are living people, aren't they? If you don't want to return to the afterlife, you can choose to live in the World of the Living."
"Then it's settled for now. Haschwalth, you also need some rest. The only question is with you, Lille Barro, what do you want?"
Lille Barro stared at Chun, "Aren't you afraid that I'll say one thing now, and then you'll let me go and I'll come back to kill you!?"
"Hahaha," Chun laughed happily, "Sorry, only monsters of the Transcendent Level could kill me. You have no chance."
Lille Barro sighed, and kneeling on the ground, he suddenly kowtowed to Chun, "Your magnanimity amazes me! I swear, I will become the guardian of the new Soul King, forever protecting the Dangai, even in self-exile!"
"Self-exile? Haha, it doesn't have to be forever, a hundred years will do. Few living people live for a hundred years. After a hundred years, you'll be a true resident of the afterlife."
"Grateful!"
Although Lille Barro was a close follower of Yhwach, he was not entirely without principle. He understood what kind of person Yhwach was, and after learning of the Soul King and Jun's intentions, he chose to atone for his sins.
Four months later, in Karakura Town, after completing more than three months of experience in the World of the Living, none of the remaining five Sternritter members chose to World of the Living.
Besides Cang Du, the remaining four people flew back to Europe. They all chose to revisit the place where they had lived a thousand years ago. Cang Du himself is Japan.
It was determined that his hometown was a mountainous area in Mutsu. He went back to Mutsu to take a look, but after a thousand years of changes, it had become a tourist area.
This is no longer my home.
All five of them said the same thing: even though they had lived in the World of the Living for more than three months and could accept everything World of the Living, they couldn't find the fundamental reason for World of the Living survival, because this wasn't their world.
Therefore, Liltotto and Cang Du decided to join Chun's ranks, Bazz-B chose to live a carefree life, and Lille Barro temporarily served under Chun. Once the new Soul King system was established, he would be exiled, Haschwalth would search for his own half to complete the Dual-Core Soul King System.
"To be honest, there's not much time left for you to find your other half. It took Yhwach two hundred years to find you."
Yes, I'm also worried about this.
Look at Haschwalth's dedication; he never considered giving up. Even during his three months in the World of the Living, he didn't forget to search for his half, but he couldn't find it.
"Ryūken, you and your son"
"I'm here to make this clear to you: don't even think about targeting the Ishida Family!"
"Alright, alright, put the bow down."
Ryūken left, but he and Uryū also confirmed that it was impossible for him to become Soul King. Therefore, there are more than three Quincy bloodlines in the World of the Living; besides Isshin, the Kurosaki Family could all...
But that's just theory. Mei definitely can't come. If anyone wanted Mei's child to be the Soul King, would Mei fight them to the death? So she still has no chance. Besides, Ichigo Kurosaki is fine fighting to save Soul Society, but making him the Soul King? Haha.
"As expected, we'll eventually have to return to Soul Society to sort this out."
How to do it?
Aizen softly, "You're eyeing the Hōgyoku?"
"Yes, for now, all we need to do is find a sage who cares about the world, and then use the Hōgyoku to make him a suitable candidate for the Soul King, and that will be enough. This sage..."
"May I?"
The person who asked this question is Kaname Tōsen. I personally think Tōsen is fine, but I'll ask anyway.
"Are you really going to do this?"
"Yes, Shimizu- sensei, thank you for your guidance of Kakyō- nee and me! I believe this is my ultimate pursuit, and I am willing to dedicate my useful body to the afterlife, to the Soul Society, to the Dangai, and to the stability of the world!"
There was nothing more to say at this point; that understanding was enough. Jun could only nod. "Yes! You've always been the best, Tōsen! I'm proud of you."
Thank you so much!
On the side of the hall, Gin Ichimaru, with his squinting eyes, quietly left. "Oh dear, no wonder I couldn't stand him. How could someone as lowly as me tolerate the existence of a saint? Ah~ my little Rangiku ~ I'm going back to Soul Society now, wait for me."
On Jun's side, the plan is finalized, the personnel are in place, all that's missing is the Hōgyoku. Now we can march into Soul Society; everything is ready.
"Everyone, assemble!! We're marching into Soul Society!"
With their mission to conquer Soul Society imminent, Uryū and his crew have returned; they don't want to miss out on such a crucial event.
However, it didn't matter; their strength was more than enough to protect themselves. The combat level of the Soul Society was far lower than that of the Sternritter. But before the battle began, Junichi had a bad feeling, so he summoned Yoruichi.
"Yoruichi, has the Shopkeeper contacted you?"
Yoruichi shook her head, "No."
How long has it been since we last contacted each other?
It's been over a month.
"Can you get in touch with him?"
"No," Yoruichi shook her head. "He said he needed to investigate some secrets, so he returned to Soul Society after the Battle of Karakura Town, and then contacted me about once a month. Because it was a secret investigation, so..."
"I understand. Let me double-check, has it been over a month?"
"Yes, more than a month," Yoruichi finally understood, "Jun, do you think there's something wrong with Soul Society?"
"I don't know, I just have a bad feeling. Look at this bracelet," Chunliang said, showing off her bracelet adorned with dazzling gemstones. "This bracelet is called Lucky Star. It'll bring me absolute luck, so it has a certain ability to warn of impending danger. Tsk tsk, I have to believe my intuition now."
"Should we give up?"
"No need, this is the last one, Grimmjow!"
Chun summoned Grimmjow, "Go to the Endless Sea and fetch the two Old Men. I've used up all my opportunities to persuade them to come out of seclusion this time. Go."
"I understand, aren't you being too concerned? The Soul Society is so weak."
"I don't know, you go ahead."
"OK, I'll be back as soon as possible."
Aizen and Nobunaga Oda also arrived, accompanied by Haschwalth and Tōsen. Haschwalth and Tōsen have been actively exchanging ideas recently, as they are about to become dual-core Soul Kings and need to get to know each other. They discovered that they are very compatible.
"What's wrong?"
"I have a bad feeling about this."
"What a coincidence, I felt the same way," Aizen gave Junichi dangerous smile.
But Jun saw Aizen and smiled, taking a bead from his arm. "I didn't originally intend to use this, but since you're here, I'll keep it."
"Oh?"
"Steins;Gate Release!"
An Aozumi stone door appeared behind Jun. The door opened, revealing an image behind it. In the image, Jun, Aizen, Ulquiorra, Byakuya, and Tōshirō were in a terrible state—but there were only five of them left. The entire world was engulfed in flames, resembling Hell.
"What is this?" Even Aizen couldn't remain calm.
However, Jun's words unsettled everyone. "This was an inevitable future! My premonition was absolutely accurate. Alright, let's go, to Soul Society."
