"You mean... you mean..." His palms supported his upper body as he looked down at Uchiha Hiko.
But the slight tremble in his arms and lips showed just how agitated he was.
It was no wonder. For a thousand years, the Thirteenth Division, along with him as Captain-Commander, and Central 46 had essentially served as the Spirit King's representatives.
The Spirit King was their faith!
Yet now Uchiha Hiko was suggesting that there was something wrong with the Spirit King. It was difficult for him to accept.
Uchiha Hiko let out a heavy sigh and pressed Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto back down. "I only want to prevent any unforeseen circumstances!"
"It would be best if the two of us investigated. This unstable factor is far too dangerous."
Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto's already pale cheeks had turned ashen. His trembling hands lightly picked up the strong tea before him, but he did not drink it.
His entire face was frighteningly grim!
"Do you know that the Spirit King is the linchpin of this world? Without him, Soul Society, the World of the Living, and Karakura Town would all collapse and perish!"
Uchiha Hiko exhaled heavily. "I know! But what if he truly wants the Protection Guard dead?"
The moment those words left his mouth, Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto's eyes widened again. He swallowed mouthful after mouthful of saliva and stared fixedly at Uchiha Hiko!
Countless events that had taken place in Soul Society flashed through his mind, especially Yhwach's appearance and the betrayal of the Kuchiki and Soi Fon families. He was particularly troubled by them!
There was one thing no one in Soul Society knew: Yhwach's true identity, and the mastermind behind the Quincy war a thousand years ago, was the Spirit King!
Yhwach had called the Spirit King his father back then.
