Yhwach and Aizen Sousuke

Gremy Thoreau: "Why?"

Shazo: "What? Why?"

Gremy Thoreau: "I clearly imagined my body to be the hardest object in the world, so why did you cut it in half so easily?"

Shazo: "Because you only fantasize that your body is the hardest, while I firmly believe that I can cut through anything."

"At least in this world, there is nothing I cannot cut through, whether it be objects, Zanpakuto, Hollows, or even space itself."

Time, the world itself—I can cleave them all.

Gremy Thormu: "You're even crazier than me!"

Looking at the young Quincy lying on the ground, his body torn in two pieces, covered in blood and entrails, yet still chatting away with him, Shazo couldn't help but say to Egg Flower Retsu, "This guy is the madman."

Retsu Unohana nodded. "Yes, even though the main body isn't here, we can't just ignore the injuries like this."

Gremy Tomos was stunned, his eyes shifting to Shazo and Retsu Unohana: "You know my true form isn't here?"

Shazo Zuo nodded. "We've been through Aizen's Illusion Suigetsu, so we have a good ability to distinguish between fantasy and realistic skills."

Gremy Thormu breathed a sigh of relief, "I see, I knew it."

Shazo finally lost his patience and bluntly pointed out, "Wait, haven't you realized you can't piece yourself back together?"

"Hurry up, confirm that you are dead, and then disappear from my sight."

You've already wasted a lot of my time.

Gremy Tomour's body trembled as he finally discovered that his brain, hidden in a secret location, had been split in two, and even the life support system that kept his brain alive had been cleaved apart.

As the solution that had been soaking the brain leaked out, the brain, which had been like tofu pudding, softened, collapsed, and died.

Yes, Gremy Thormu's original form only had one brain, and it was already dead.

He now only firmly believes that he is alive, which is why he can leave behind a fleeting shadow.

Gremy Tom looked at Shazo in disbelief. "How were you able to damage my brain?"

Shazo patiently explained, "There is no such thing as a perfectly perfect ability in the world."

"By creating an imaginary body to fight in your place, you can indeed avoid harm to your real body. However, if you do this for a long time, you will unconsciously become accustomed to the imaginary body and assume that the imaginary body is yourself."

"Your strong self-awareness completely equates your illusion with your true self; at least to me, the two are one."

"Therefore, by destroying the illusion you created, I also destroyed your true self through your perception."

"But I never expected that your true form only has one brain."

The light in Gremy Tomour's eyes disappeared, and his body quickly faded and vanished, along with the blood and entrails on the ground.

Afterwards, the corpses of the four Soldat faded and disappeared.

There is clearly only one enemy here, but all five are figments of Gremy Thormu's imagination.

Therefore, after Retsu Unohana slew four Soldat, she did not feel the excitement and pleasure brought by the blood, and thus realized that everything here was an illusion, which caused her to lose the will to continue fighting.

The Wandenreich, the core of the Ice Palace, the Royal Palace.

The spacious Royal Palace was completely empty, devoid of any decorations, with only white floors, white walls, white pillars, and a large throne in the center.

On the throne, a man draped in a deep red robe leaned back in his chair, and three silver medals could be vaguely seen on the inside of his open robe, near his collar.

--

He muttered to himself, "Grey Tommy, the most difficult guy to kill, died so quickly, and even the manner of his death is baffling—"

"The Fourth Seat of the Eleventh Division, the information should be correct----"

"Where exactly did things go wrong?"

This man had thick, long black hair and a beard, and his features were deep and handsome; he was an absolute heartthrob.

However, his thick beard, eyebrows, and hair were unkempt and looked somewhat messy, making him look like the Pirate King next door who was about to be beheaded.

His cold, stern expression, combined with his attire and demeanor, exuded an aura of unassailable majesty. He was Yhwach, the supreme leader who ruled the Wandenreich, the progenitor of the Quincy, and the number one Yhwach in the Death God World's Number One.

A powerful entity that has leaped into 2024, no, 2025.

Hmm, that's terrifying to think about!

Yhwach closed his eyes, his brow furrowed, deep in thought about the difficult question he had just encountered.

Suddenly, he snapped his tightly closed eyes open, a sharp, cold glint flashing in Yhwach's eyes.

Zha Zha Zha----

Two elite Soldat pushed open the Royal Palace Main Gate, the sound of the hinges turning echoing in the empty Royal Palace, making everyone involuntarily tense.

With a calm smile, Aizen Sousuke walked in from outside the palace gate. His steady and dignified steps echoed in the hall, reliving the tense atmosphere created by the recently stopped sound of the door hinges turning.

"Who are you?" Yhwach looked at Aizen, his tone shifting from doubt to certainty. "Aizen Sousuke!"

"Yhwach!" Aizen replied with a smile.

Once out of Shazo's sight, Aizen regained his almost Eternity composure and confidence.

The two bosses locked eyes; Yhwach's aura was wild and unrestrained, like a cruel and tyrannical Gods looking down upon sinful mortals.

Sōsuke Aizen's aura was gentle and calm, looking at Yhwach with the same level gaze he gave to the other Death God, as if to say: You are all idiots.

Yhwach's flamboyance and Aizen Sousuke's gentleness were evenly matched, essentially resulting in a draw.

But as Lao Tzu said, "Steel cannot last long, and softness cannot be maintained."

The unrestrained Yhwach spoke first, "Grey Tomour's illusionary power is strong, but I didn't expect your Illusion ability to be even more terrifying. You even fooled my Haschwalth!"

"Aizen, have you come to surrender to me?"

Aizen's smile vanished instantly, and then he burst into loud laughter. "Do you think you're worthy?"

Aizen's undisguised contempt greatly displeased Yhwach, but the confrontation between the two was enough for him to remain calm.

The emperor of the Wandenreich took a deep breath and asked, "If not, then what are you doing here?"

"Weren't you attacking the Spiritually Dense Land in the World of the Living and fighting a fierce battle with Death God? Why are you suddenly joining forces with Death God to attack my empire?"

Aizen shook his head regretfully and said, "No, your information is outdated; you could say you know nothing at all."

"First, I was defeated. I was utterly crushed by Lord Shazo, leaving not even a trace. So, since you ordered me to attack, I had no choice but to obey."

"Secondly, your Wandenreich is no longer in the shadow of the Soul Society's Soul Society, but has been materialized by you in Karakura Town of Spiritually Dense Land."

Yhwach: "----"

Aizen shrugged. "You don't need to worry about me fighting you to the death, because I'm just a pathetic wretch who has to obey orders. I won't fight seriously at all. Even if Lord Shazo Zuo sees me, I'll just go through the motions."

"My biggest purpose is to see how the Quincy are destroyed!"

"Then, I'll use your miserable state to convince myself to serve my sentence properly and save my life."

Yhwach remained dumbfounded:

He remained silent for a very long time, his gaze so cold it seemed to drip water, but in the end he couldn't help but Teuchi a magnificent and powerful Holy Annihilation.

Having successfully provoked his opponent, Aizen smiled smugly.

He offered no resistance, standing there laughing as the arrows from the Reishi Bow pierced him and shredded him into countless points of light.

It turned out that Aizen had already left without anyone noticing, and what remained before Yhwach was merely an illusion.

Yhwach realized he was the submissive one, and he frowned, muttering, "Aizen — Illusion— "

But he was no weakling. Every successful leader has one thing in common: unwavering resolve.

Of course, when he fails, he reveals the common flaw of all villains—they share the same traits as bosses: extreme narcissism and blind faith.

Although Yhwach failed against Aizen and heard Aizen's veiled warning, he chose to ignore it, disbelieve it, and not care.

Emperor Yhwach: No one can stop my advance!

Even a monster like Sōsuke Aizen only used a trick when he wasn't paying attention.

This cannot be called an obstacle; at most, it is an interesting little episode in the great cause of conquering the world.

Aizen was nothing more than a performer to please him!

However, Aizen had indeed angered him, and he needed to vent his anger; he needed to find the culprit!

"Haschwalth!!!"

Yhwach's deep voice echoed in the hall.

Soon, a handsome man with long blond hair and an aristocratic air respectfully entered the Royal Palace through the Main Gate, went straight to the throne, and knelt down on one knee without hesitation.

Yhwach looked down at the man and sneered, "Do you know your crime?"

Haschwalth had already seen the damage to the ground in front of him and recognized it as the result of Yhwach's Heilig Pfeil attack.

The astute Quincy instantly realized that someone had infiltrated the Royal Palace and stood face-to-face with Yhwach, even being attacked by the Emperor.

However, the man didn't die, and His Majesty was furious!

The problem is very serious.

Without hesitation, Haschwalth immediately prostrated himself, pleading, "Your Majesty, please punish me!!"

Yhwach roared, "Your duty is to protect the Royal Palace, yet you allowed the enemy to advance unchecked without your knowledge. Your crime is unforgivable!"

Haschwalth lowered his head even further. "Yes, I am guilty, and I am willing to accept any punishment!"

Zzzzz!

Yhwach pointed a finger, and a tiny, Heilig Pfeil shot into Haschwalth's body, instantly causing excruciating pain.

Haschwalth trembled all over, and sweat poured down his back, quickly soaking it and leaving a large sweat stain on his white clothes.

But even as the punishment ended, Haschwalth gritted his teeth and didn't utter a sound of pain.

Yhwach was very pleased with his submission and finally nodded, withdrawing his Spiritual Pressure: "This is just a small punishment. If you make the same mistake again, it won't be so simple."

Haschwalth, trembling, thanked him, "Thank you for your forgiveness, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, who are the invaders this time?"

Yhwach stroked his beard and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Haschwalth gritted his teeth and said, "I will find him and kill him! I will use his blood to wash away my humiliation!"

Habach laughed heartily, "Haha, good! That's exactly what Yugran Haschwalth should be saying."

"The intruder is Aizen, Aizen Sousuke, and that Zanpakuto is the Death God Shinigami who possesses Illusion."

Haschwalth looked up in surprise. "Aizen, didn't that guy defect to Hueco Mundo? How come he's attacking us with the Death God?"

He began a serious analysis. "Could it be that Hueco Mundo and Soul Society have joined forces?"

"No, impossible. The conflict between Hollows and Death God is irreconcilable unless one side is completely defeated."

"The Gotei 13 of the Death God are not the highest authority. Above them are the Central 46, the Five Great Noble Clans, and the so-called Zero Division. Even if they are defeated, they will only rebuild the Thirteenth Division and will not bow down to Hueco Mundo."

"So, Aizen was defeated. Moreover, Aizen was captured by the Death God and is now serving as the vanguard of the suicide squad, scouting ahead for the Death God."

Listening to Haschwalth's analysis, Yhwach nodded secretly.

His words and Aizen's words basically matched up, so Yhwach began to believe Aizen's warning.

[That guy named Shazo, the Fourth Seat of the Eleventh Division —is he really that strong?]

After a moment's thought, Yhwach commanded, "Haschwalth, stand up!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Haschwalth immediately stood up and respectfully inquired, "What are your orders?"

Yhwach rose from his throne. "Send word to everyone, the prelude to the final battle has begun! Annihilate the invading Death God Reapers, then launch a full-scale attack on Seireitei! Reclaim our world!"

Haschwalth was overjoyed. "Yes!"

"Your Majesty, the Hueco Mundo hunting force has assembled and is ready to engage in battle!"

Haschwalth was Yhwach's most loyal subject and also his chief advisor, following his orders while providing him with strategic advice.

He was Yhwach's most important aide, and also the second most powerful Quincy Yhwach, and the commander of the Empire's Quincy.

He had been busy selecting Quincy and organizing the Hueco Mundo hunting force.

It was because he gathered all the powerful Quincy that the Death God were able to move through the area with impunity.

"Very good, launch an immediate attack! We can't let the Death God swagger around any longer!"

Yhwach said, "We weren't ready, and neither were the Death God. Our encounter was an accident."

"Killing those Death God is equivalent to eliminating half of the Gotei 13's fighting force, allowing us to seize the Soul Society and reclaim the Soul King Palace!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Haschwalth bowed again, then strode out of the palace.

With the order from the Wandenreich Emperor, the high-ranking Quincy who were participating in the Hueco Mundo Hunting Team returned, and the chaos among the Quincy disappeared.

Led by the strong, they followed plan to block the invading Death God.

The Death God are in deep trouble.
