What Are Saints? (Second Update)

"Holy Destruction Arrow!"

Yhwach activated his Quincy Power, and a giant Quincy Reishi Bow immediately appeared above his head. He drew the bow and fired an arrow, but it was not aimed at Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto; instead, it struck Yhwach's side.

After the giant arrow landed, it instantly transformed into a lightsaber containing immense Reishi energy.

Yhwach grabbed his lightsaber, unleashed Hirenkyaku, and appeared in front of Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto before he could react, slashing at him with his sword.

If this sword strike lands squarely, then only death awaits Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto.

However, to Yhwach's surprise, just as his lightsaber was about to touch Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, a hand suddenly appeared and lightly stopped his lightsaber.

"Captain Commander, have you made up your mind? My previous conditions still apply!"

Wearing the Ophiuchus Gold Cloth, Hawking pinched Yhwach's lightsaber between his thumb and forefinger, turned to Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, and smiled.

He could have acted much earlier, but that wouldn't have made the Captain Commander realize how terrifying Yhwach was, and he wouldn't have agreed to his conditions so easily.

"Alright, on behalf of Soul Society, I agree to your terms!"

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto saw Hawking appear, he breathed a long sigh of relief and then nodded solemnly.

The Four Great Noble Clans and the Central 46 would certainly not agree to helping Hawking research the synthesis of the Spirit King Power, but he had already made his decision at this moment.

Because he knew how terrifying Hawking was, and he also knew that if he didn't agree now, none of the Reaper attacked the Wandenreich, including himself, would be able to leave safely.

When Yhwach leads the Quincy army to launch a counterattack on Soul Society, Soul Society will be completely unable to resist.

He obeyed the Central 46 because he once tried to correct the world through killing, only to find that it was the wrong path and made the world worse.

Therefore, in order to protect the Three Realms, he chose to continue maintaining the current corrupt aristocratic system in order to ensure the stability of the Three Realms to the greatest extent.

However, if a crisis has already threatened the safety of the Three Realms, then there is no need for him to continue to maintain the status quo, and he can make some appropriate adjustments.

His actions were not fundamentally about obeying anyone or protecting any system, but about safeguarding the safety and stability of the Three Realms.

If killing all the nobles and members of the Central 46 could protect the safety and stability of the Three Realms, then he would not hesitate to Zanpakuto at those corrupt nobles.

"It's a wise choice. Go help the other team members. Many of them have had their Bankai taken away and can't unleash their full power. I can handle this guy."

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto was straightforward, as was Hawking, who directly accepted Yhwach of the Wandenreich.

"Thank you!"

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto glanced into the distance and saw that many Reaper had indeed been severely injured and, without help, would likely be killed.

So without saying a word, he picked up his Zanpakuto and charged forward.

Whether it's Hawking or Yhwach, their power is beyond his ability to contend with, but he still feels that Hawking has a greater chance of winning.

The way Hawking caught Yhwach's lightsaber just now was just as effortless as when he caught his strongest attack.

"You want to leave!"

Seeing Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto leave using Shunpo, Yhwach was not about to give up and was about to draw his lightsaber to give chase.

He pulled hard, but the lightsaber didn't move. He pulled again, but it still didn't move. Finally, he used all his strength, even both hands, but the lightsaber remained motionless, held firmly in Hawking's two fingers.

"Who are you? Are you Fullbringer?"

Seeing that he couldn't pull back the lightsaber at all, and with Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto already far away, he looked at Hawking with a grim expression.

This person in the Golden Armor was not among the intelligence gathered by his subordinates, nor was he a top-tier combatant they were supposed to focus on, but judging from his performance just now, his strength was definitely not low.

Especially in terms of strength, it is probably greater than that of Meninas McAllon, who possesses the Schrift ability "Power".

Because Hawking had the physical body of a real person, and also wore such a striking Golden Armor.

Therefore, Yhwach suspected that Hawking might be a powerful Fullbringer, and the armor was the medium through which he wielded his power.

"I... Stephen Hawking, the Saints Seiya!"

Seeing that Yhwach's gaze was fixed on his Gold Cloth, Hawking smiled and released his grip on the lightsaber, allowing Yhwach to retrieve it.

He doesn't intend to kill Yhwach so easily for the time being.

On the one hand, he needed to use Yhwach to understand the Quincy Power, so he naturally wanted to observe Yhwach's various applications of the Quincy Power.

On the other hand, he also wanted to see if he could take all of Yhwach's power for himself in order to better understand the Spirit King Power.

Yhwach is known as the Son of the Soul King and is the one who inherited the most power from the Soul King.

He possesses the ability to Soul Distribution; he can drip his blood into wine, and the soul of the person who drinks the blood wine will be inscribed with words that signify his power.

Once the writing is formed, he can send an even more powerful soul into the body of the person who drinks the blood wine.

That's how the Sternritter was formed.

As the person whose soul was given to him grows stronger through cultivation, upon his death, he can reclaim all his power and thus gain even greater strength.

Therefore, if he kills Yhwach now, he can only absorb Yhwach's current power. However, once the Captain Commander and the other Reaper Sternritter, Yhwach's strength will increase significantly, and the power within his body will also increase dramatically.

Only by killing Yhwach at that time can one absorb all of his power.

In particular, among the members of the Sternritter, there is the embodiment of the Soul King's Left Arm and heart.

"Saints, what's that?"

When Hawking introduced himself, Yhwach was momentarily stunned.

Because he had never heard of the Saints organization before, he had been asleep for a thousand years. This organization did not exist a thousand years ago, and the information collected by the Wandenreich a thousand years later also did not mention this organization.

In reality, the Fullbring organization doesn't seem to have any Saints.

"No matter who you are, since you're helping Soul Society oppose me, then I have no choice but to kill you!"

Yhwach gathered the surrounding Reishi in his palm, and a giant Reishi arrow took shape. He pulled it up out of thin air, and in a flash, the Reishi arrow appeared between Hawking's eyes.

"Holy Destruction Arrow!"

Normal Quincy need to first construct a Quincy bow and arrow before firing the arrows to attack.

But Yhwach, the progenitor of the Quincy, doesn't need a bow at all. He can shoot annihilation with his fingers and even create large Reishi arrows out of thin air.

Unfortunately, he was facing Hawking, and this massive annihilation arrow, powerful enough to shatter a mountain, was caught by Hawking with his bare hand just one centimeter away from Hawking brow.

"So that's how it is."

He held the Annihilation Arrow, formed from the Quincy Power, in his hand and observed it for a while. Soon, he gained some insights.

The essence of the Extinction Arrow is actually external Reishi energy. However, after being specially strengthened and fused, this energy possesses a very special decomposition power that can break down the structure of Reishi.

This is the Quincy Power.
