"Given that Your His Majesty's awakening of your eyes may lead to uncontrolled power and the plundering of the power of all Sternritter members, I hereby authorize you to forcibly awaken in five seconds..."
Jugram Haschwalth bowed slightly and made a request to Yhwach.
"Allow."
Yhwach, seated high above, uttered a single word, then closed his eyes tightly, his brow furrowing as if he would never open them again.
Jugram Haschwalth, who stood motionless to the side, frowned slightly, muttering to himself, 'It was indeed too much to ask for, and the original plan was that it would take about nine years for him to fully recover his strength after waking up.'
Ten seconds later, Yhwach finally opened his eyes. His eyes had become Double Pupils, with each pupil seemingly looking at its own eyes, which was incredibly eerie.
Yhwach slowly began, "I saw it..."
Images of Ryūsaki kept flashing through Yhwach's mind.
The initial incident involved Ryūsaki arriving in Hueco Mundo, failing to negotiate with the Arrancar, and then taking action.
Then Ryūsaki went to the World of the Living and discussed with his father, Sōken Ishida, how to avoid being forcibly 'Auswählen,' even taking the 'Still Silver' in his hands.
Yhwach continued to look towards the more distant future, only to be met with a sudden great war and the invasion of Soul Reaper.
In the Wandenreich, Ryūsaki battles a Soul Reaper Captain -level being, while holy pillars of the cross rise continuously around him, and members of the Knights enter a state of Vollständig one by one.
Five seconds had passed, Yhwach began to veer in another direction. Over there, there was a bald man facing attacks from several people, his body engulfed in flames.
The flames raged, yet he held his own against five opponents.
"Your His Majesty, the time has come."
The scene paused, and a shout woke Yhwach. Jugram Haschwalth, covered in sweat, stood before him.
Jugram Haschwalth said with lingering fear, "Your His Majesty, you were open for a full ten seconds."
Yhwach showed a rare apologetic expression. "Sorry, I saw some other points and ended up looking at them for too long without realizing it. Thank you for your attention."
The function of being 'The Almighty' is to see the future and go back to the past to change the timing in advance, creating a present or future that is favorable to oneself.
However, there are limits to going back in time; at most, one month can be retraced, and the changes made within that timeframe must affect the present and the future.
The future is not fixed; new milestones can constantly emerge, causing the future that Yhwach creates to change, and he needs to continuously guide it.
In those brief ten seconds, Yhwach only caught a glimpse of Ryūsaki researching the 'Still Silver'.
If Yhwach wants to change that future, all he needs to do now is order Ryūsaki to stay away from Hueco Mundo, and then that scenario will not happen.
Jugram Haschwalth, seeing Yhwach's expression darken once more, asked, "Did His Majesty Yhwach Ryūsaki Ishida's betrayal just now?"
Yhwach said calmly, "No, I saw Soul Reaper invade the Wandenreich, and war broke out."
"Is that so? It seems inevitable!" Jugram Haschwalth frowned slightly.
"As you said, that guy suddenly appeared, and the nodes he changed are truly irreversible?" Yhwach asked Jugram Haschwalth calmly.
"At least I haven't found a solution yet."
After Jugram Haschwalth finished answering, he fell silent, and Yhwach also remained silent.
When Yhwach woke up, Jugram Haschwalth told him a lot about the past, especially focusing on a man named Nangong Ling.
That man was once the Captain of the Court Guard Squads), and participated in the large-scale extermination campaign against the Quincy in the World of the Living more than two hundred years ago.
It wouldn't be a big deal if he only participated in the siege of those conservatives, but the key issue is that that guy somehow managed to enter the Wandenreich by impersonating members of the Knights.
That was the first time Jugram Haschwalth changed the way the Reishi of the 'Shadow Domain' were constructed.
Afterwards, the Soul Reaper Technology Bureau's database continuously attempted to breach the Wandenreich through the 'Shadow Domain'.
Jugram Haschwalth once again ordered the closure of the 'Shadow Domain' and replaced it with the 'Shadow Teleportation Array,' which has a more complex structure. If you make even a slight mistake, you will not only be unable to enter the Wandenreich, but you will also be teleported to the Void Dangai.
What followed were several attacks by Soul Reaper and defenses by Quincy the Soul Reaper were never able to succeed.
Then another freak emerged from Soul Reaper Mayuri Kurotsuchi, Mayuri Kurotsuchi, who somehow found two passages to the 'Sun Gate' and attempted to expand them and connect them to the Dangai) so that his army could invade.
This was the most dangerous situation the Wandenreich had faced recently, until Jugram Haschwalth ordered the new user of the Schrift 'J' to Sealing the entire Wandenreich.
In short, Jugram Haschwalth recounted all the insecurity the Wandenreich had faced over the years.
This continued for a long time, until now, when Yhwach said he saw Soul Reaper invading the Wandenreich, Jugram Haschwalth was completely devastated.
Yhwach said coldly, "It seems that the Soul Reaper has never given up on finding a way to enter the Wandenreich all these years!"
Jugram Haschwalth's eyes flickered. "Your His Majesty, should we accept the challenge?"
Yhwach said coldly, "If I, the Auswählen, finish off all the hybrids below the level of the Holy Soldier, and the Knights kill a large number of Soul Reaper, it's not impossible for them to fully recover their power."
"The Soul King Palace will most likely not intervene, but someone still needs to stop Yamamoto. His current power still poses a threat to me, especially his Bankai."
"Judging from the approximate timeline, that war is still several years away. If we want to avoid the war, the only option is to flee to Hueco Mundo and rebuild the Reishi Space..."
Yhwach gradually analyzed the difference in combat strength between the Soul Reaper and the Headquarters. If he could recover even 80% of his power, he was confident he could kill Shigekuni Yamamoto.
Because he possesses the Quincy Medallion that can plunder Bankai, and at 80% of his peak power, he can control Shigekuni Yamamoto's Bankai.
But that's where the problem lies. Now, several years after waking up, Yhwach's strength is still less than 30% of his peak, and he even consumed some of it by forcibly opening his eyes just now.
If more than ten Sternritter or the Soul Reaper Captain die during this period, Yhwach's recovery speed will be even faster.
Jugram Haschwalth finally couldn't hold back any longer and said in a deep voice, "Your His Majesty, since war is inevitable, we can launch a preemptive attack on Soul Society and plunder a batch of souls to restore your power."
"When Soul Reaper attacks in its rage, we can then launch a series of attacks to block it, engaging in a protracted battle..."
Jugram Haschwalth didn't continue, but the longer the fight went on and the more people died, the stronger Yhwach became.
"Alright, deploy as you say, and launch the first attack in two years."
Yhwach sealed the deal with a final blow, performing another Auswählen that drained the Quincy.
Ordinary Quincy discovered that the Third Tier Guards Corps had not been Auswählen, and they all submitted applications to join the Guards Corps.
Some people couldn't hold back their anger and launched a rebellion, with the largest gathering reaching as many as five hundred people.
However, the suppression force consisted of only five members of the Knights Order, who swiftly slaughtered all the rebels.
As for Ryūsaki, he figured he'd just ask a few of his colleagues; if they were willing to go to Hueco Mundo with him, they would, and if not, he'd go on his own.
"Negotiations in Hueco Mundo? No way. I'd be interested in fighting." Bazz-B his head and refused Ryūsaki's invitation.
Ryūsaki also knew that Bazz-B had sabotaged Zero's negotiations with Jugram Haschwalth, so she wanted to bring him along so that he would also sabotage the negotiations.
Unexpectedly Bazz-B refused, so as Ryūsaki turned to leave, she said, "Fine, I'll go find someone else then. Maybe the negotiations will break down and the fighting will start again."
Upon hearing this, Bazz-B's lips suddenly curled into a smile, a smile even harder to suppress than Ak's. He forced himself to remain calm and said, "Hmm? Wait, for your safety, I'll go with you."
Ryūsaki chuckled inwardly and stopped in her tracks, "Let's make this clear first, no matter how much they provoke us there, you can't be the first to attack. Listen to me, understand?"
"I understand, I understand."
"Go find a few more people and see who's available."
Ryūsaki and Bazz-B visited the two again, but they both said they were too busy.
As he passed the house of the female members to invite the next one, he was blocked by five people...
"Isn't Captain Ryūsaki short of people? Why didn't she invite us?" Meninas McAllon McCarron suddenly pouted and asked, looking quite charming.
But Ryūsaki knew that her Schrift was P, which symbolized power. When activated, the veins on her arms would bulge, making her look like a complete powerhouse.
Before Ryūsaki could answer, Giselle Jules's manipulative voice rang out. "Exactly! Can't we go? Or is there some secret you don't want us to discover?"
His ability is Z, the dead Zombie, the cross-dresser among the five people in front of him.
"I'm not going. I'm going back to take a nap."
The team's opinions were not entirely aligned; after Liltotto Lampard expressed her unwillingness to go to Hueco Mundo, she turned and left.
"I want to go too, Xiao Jia, what about you?"
Bambi Bastabayen turned to Candice Carternip, who was standing to the side, and asked.
Candice looked down at her impressive breasts and said softly, "Please use your brains, okay? Do you think we can just go whenever we want? Or do we have to depend on that handsome guy's attitude?"
Ryūsaki, who had been smiling and silent, reluctantly replied, "Well, since all you beautiful ladies want to go, I certainly won't refuse. Bazz-B, what do you think?"
Bazz-B scoffed, "How am I supposed to see? I see with my own eyes, of course! You're the Captain appointed by His Majesty; whatever he says goes on this mission."
"If there are no objections, then it'll be six people, three men and three women. Come with me to register first!" Ryūsaki turned and walked ahead.
"Three men? There are clearly only two of you men!" Giselle put on a pitiful look.
Ryūsaki hesitated for a few seconds. "Then... a crossdresser can be considered half a beauty."
"Haha, Gigi, you were seen through right away!"
"They won't tolerate your behavior."
The other three girl group members laughed heartily, while Giselle remained with a slightly somber expression, inwardly screaming: No, I am a girl.
