Duan Mu withdrew his gaze without paying attention to where Yhwach had gone.
Was Yhwach really strong after opening his eyes?
Very strong!
There was no doubt about that. However, his "strength" was not like Duan Mu's, manifested in every aspect, such as spiritual pressure, physique, techniques, and Zanjutsu. Rather, it was strength on the level of rules.

Because, in a sense, the world favored Yhwach.
But being unable to kill him did not mean he could not be dealt with. If Duan Mu had wanted to, he could have completely suppressed Yhwach when his form had just begun to take shape. He had simply chosen not to do so.

That was because almost all that remained of the Sternritter were the Schutzstaffel.
The only surviving members outside the Schutzstaffel were As Nodt (Fear), Bazz-B (Heat), and Jerome Guizbatt (Roar). They had barely caused
