Shinji Hirako finally got his moment

After Haschwalth left, Yhwach did not sit down.

He stood in the crater he had dug, staring at it for a while, then looked up, his gaze piercing through the walls and pillars, and saw the Death God darting about inside the Ice Palace.

There aren't many Death God, but each one is a powerful captain or vice- Captain-level astonishing Spiritual Pressure.

Among them are familiar faces like Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto and Shunsui Kyōraku, as well as the obviously young Tōshirō Hitsugaya and Momo Hinamori, and the strangely charismatic Visored—

And Shazo and Aizen, whom he couldn't find no matter how hard he looked.

"Aizen is indeed extraordinary; even searching for him is impossible—"

"So, Shazo is also inside the Ice Palace, but I can't see him because he's too powerful."

"There's another Death God, Retsu Unohana, the captain of the Fourth Division, the ruthless and bloodthirsty Yachiru Murderer back then, an immortal monster only slightly weaker than Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto."

Suddenly, Shazo Zuo's teasing voice rang out. "Hehe, Sister Hua, you actually have more than one nickname in Yhwach's mouth, and they all sound pretty fierce."

Retsu Unohana's slightly embarrassed and annoyed voice rang out. "Shut up!"

Yhwach was completely stunned. He never expected that after being invaded by Aizen once, his Royal Palace would be invaded by the Death God again.

Last time, Aizen was discovered and exposed by him outside the door, but this time he didn't notice at all; it was the other party who took the initiative to expose him.

Yhwach's head was buzzing, and he turned his neck inch by inch toward the source of the sound.

There stood a strange, tall and thin Death God with a rather ordinary appearance, and the impressive Retsu Unohana.

Yhwach said in a deep voice, "The Fourth Division Captain, Retsu Unohana, and the Eleventh Division's Shazo."

Shazo and Retsu Unohana exchanged a glance and casually said, "So you're Yhwach."

"I've been thinking about something: if I kill you, will I be able to eliminate all the Quincy?"

Yhwach's anger surged. "You think you can treat me like nothing and manipulate me at will just because you sneaked into my Royal Palace like Nezumi?"

Shazo nodded. "That's right, that's exactly what I think."

Shazo's attitude completely enraged Yhwach.

Aizen's unparalleled pride arose passively because his abilities were too great, his mind too intelligent, and he couldn't communicate with the useless idiots around him.

But Yhwach was extremely proud of his background.

He is the Son of the Soul King, and considers himself a natural Gods. He is certain that he will become the second Soul King, and Soul King who truly holds real power and does not play the role of a wedge.

Within the Wandenreich, he was the supreme emperor, and no one dared to disobey his will.

Now, however, he has been treated like fish on a chopping block by a mere Grim Death God, who freely discusses how to kill him.

Yhwach's rage soared to the heavens, and he drew the Quincy Cross sword.

At the same time, Shazo and Retsu Unohana also drew their respective Zanpakuto.

Before countless Quincy, Yugran Haschwalth commanded in a deep voice, "His Majesty's order: swiftly annihilate all invading Death God!"

"Yes!"

The first to respond were 12 members of the Sternritter. They stood together, varying in height and build, but all wore white Cloak, highlighting their distinctive identities.

Then, thousands of Quincy responded in unison, "Yes!"

Haschwalth was not only Yhwach's bodyguard and strategist, but also the highest-ranking Quincy of the Sternritter, second only to Yhwach in strength. He was bestowed with the Schrift "B," symbolizing his ability to harmonize the world!

Haschwalth holds command of the Sternritter and can command all other Sternritter.

Ze was not only empowered by Yhwach, but also possessed the greatest personal strength; within the Sternritter of monsters, he was the monster among monsters.

The moment they received the order, all the Quincy unleashed their [Hirenkyaku] and charged toward the place where the Death God's Spiritual Pressure was strongest.

Even the Soldat of the Wandenreich charged forward bravely. Although they were no match for the approaching Death God Reaper, their deaths marked the Death God Death God's location and slowed its movement.

As long as the Death God Reapers are held back by the Sternritter, they can kill these powerful Captain-level Death God at lightning speed.

The Quincy had no doubt about this; their abilities were a natural counter to Death God, and killing someone of a higher level was not impossible.

The Quincy's large-scale deployment naturally put the Death God on the defensive.

But the first one to Bad Luck was not the active Death God captain, but the fastest-running Visored, Shinji Hirako.

Shinji Hirako sliced two Quincy in half with a single strike, his face grave as he swallowed hard. "What happened? Where did I even begin? How did I get ambushed?"

"Wait, this isn't an ambush, this is— the Quincy have launched a massive offensive!"

"Oh dear, oh dear, one after another, the Quincy aren't that strong after all."

Shinji Hirako raised his sword and struck again, killing his way from one archway to another, leaving the Quincy in a bloodbath.

This fighting style made Shinji Hirako feel completely comfortable.

Since being framed by Aizen and forced to flee Soul Society, the Visored have been forced to live a miserable existence hiding within the Barrier for many years.

Moreover, after finally being born, it was once again met with a crushing blow from Aizen, beaten like a child who had made a mistake.

The entire Visored was utterly destroyed, shattered into pieces.

The frustration is doubled.

Now he finally felt good. One strike could send three Quincy into separate actions, and another strike could leave four or five Quincy completely bewildered.

Shinji Hirako's killing was satisfying, but the Quincy naturally couldn't tolerate it.

A cold, sharp voice echoed from deep within the palace, "Stop!!"

Along with the sound arrived a steel claw, accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder, viciously grabbing at Shinji Hirako's head.

Hirako sensed the threat and raised his hand to Zanpakuto. A tremendous force came, and his feet instantly sank into the hard floor tiles.

Taking a deep breath, Shinji Hirako unleashed a powerful Spiritual Pressure, blasting the enemy far away before finally looking up.

He saw a cold-faced man with short black hair, his expressionless face devoid of any emotion, observing him with a pair of narrow, elongated eyes.

The newly arrived Quincy remained expressionless in the face of Hirako's displeased, deadpan gaze; he merely raised the steel claws on his arm in a show of defiance.

But what made Shinji Hirako frown was that this person was using his other hand to intercept his Spiritual Pressure and immediately transform it into steel on his arm.

Shinji Hirako was shocked, but he didn't hold back at all. "To actually manage to knock my feet to the ground, you're quite strong. Who are you?"

"My name is Cang Du, a loyal subordinate of the great Yhwach." The short-haired youth Cang Du, said coldly, "By order of His Majesty, let the killing of all Death God begin with you."

Cang Du! A member of the Sternritter of the Wandenreich, whose holy letter is "I", symbolizing his power as steel!

Shinji Hirako originally wanted to provoke his enemy with words, which was his favorite way of dealing with enemies, but he didn't expect to run into a cold steel plate today.

Hirako inexplicably felt a stinging sensation in her nose, as if she had bumped into something.

"Kill all the Death God, heh heh!" He grinned, rubbed his nose, and then said without any politeness, "Such a strong breath, it's making it hard for me to breathe. Didn't you brush your teeth before you left?"

The steel-clad Cang Du ignored Shinji Hirako's words, coldly watching him clown around as if he were watching a Monkey perform.

Clearly, Cang Du, much like his abilities, possesses a heart as calm as steel.

Just as Shinji Hirako was feeling slightly disappointed, he suddenly discovered that Cang Du had disappeared from the spot.

Hirako's pupils contracted, and he instinctively Zanpakuto, holding it in front of his chest as a shield.

Clang!!

Shinji Hirako was struck by the steel claw and sent flying by the immense force.

Boom!

Inside the Ice Palace, the snow-white walls were knocked down, and the collapsing stones buried Shinji Hirako with a deafening roar.

Shinji Hirako pushed aside the rubble and emerged, covered in dust. Before he could speak, Cang Du launched another series of attacks.

This time, he transformed into Afterimage, appearing directly in front of the pile of rubble, his steel claws lashing out at Hirako's neck.

The three sharp claws were once again blocked by the Zanpakuto. Shinji Hirako skillfully spun the blade, tightly intertwining the weapons of both sides, making them impossible to pull apart.

Shinji Hirako let out a strange laugh, "You steel-willed bastard, did you think I would be careless time and time again? This time, I'm the one who outsmarted you!"

"Hadō: Byakurai!!"

Shinji Hirako swiftly unleashed Hadō with his left hand, slamming it into Cang Du's head, blinding the enemy.

When Cang Du unleashed tremendous power, even breaking off a claw blade to shake off Hirako's entanglement, he once again fell into a trap.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shinji Hirako unleashed his Fast Blade, his Zanpakuto dancing like the wind, unleashing a continuous barrage of sword shadows upon Cang Du.

His rapid slashes not only struck vital points with each blow, but also perfectly overlapped with the location of the previous strike.

But Shinji Hirako felt no pride whatsoever; on the contrary, his expression grew increasingly serious.

Because when the sharp Blade touched Cang Du's body, it was like striking an iron wall, unable to cause the slightest damage.

Moreover, the force of the rebound far exceeded expectations, causing Shinji Hirako's hand to go numb and greatly reducing the strength of his grip on the sword.

After getting used to Hirako's rapid slashes, Cang Du simply abandoned all defensive movements, letting Zanpakuto strike his body while he donned steel claws again and launched a frenzied counterattack.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

Amidst the dense clanging of metal, sparks flashed from Cang Du's body, but Shinji Hirako was splattered with blood.

Finally, the two retreated, pausing the most dangerous part of the battle.

Cang Du's retreating steps were extremely heavy, leaving a series of footprints. He clutched several throbbing, sensitive spots and stared coldly at Hirako.

Shinji Hirako landed lightly in the distance, then stood there loosely, looking lazy as if he were full of flaws. But both he and Cang Du on the other side knew that this was just a trap.

His verbal attacks, which he was most adept at, didn't stop. "Hey, even with the Blut Vene, the defense is ridiculously high!"

Even if my knife is dull, it shouldn't be so dull that it can't even make a cut!

"I've heard of the Quincy's Blut Vene, but there's a limit to its defense. It's impossible for it to withstand 100 consecutive attacks without breaking through!"

"What kind of ability do you have?"

However, no matter how much Hirako, Cang Du remained silent, coldly watching Shinji Hirako as he quickly recovered his strength and his slightly swollen groin.

"What a boring guy! How can there be someone in the world who doesn't communicate at all!"

"This makes me feel really embarrassed about being hungry."

Hirako sighed and said seriously, "I remember you've only said one or two sentences so far? Never mind, I think your name Cang Du. Now I'm going to show you something very interesting!"

"Fall down, Sakanade!"

Hirako held the strangely shaped Shikai in his hand, twirling it around, and asked the teasingly shrewd Cang Du, "So, do you feel anything different?"

"Reverse!"

As soon as Shinji Hirako finished speaking, Cang Du felt everything in front of him turn upside down.

The sky and the earth switched places, as did the front and back, left and right sides. Even Shinji Hirako's position and appearance were reversed.

In Cang Du's eyes, Shinji Hirako had become someone who held a knife in his left hand.

He heard Hirako's explanation. "After my Zanpakuto, is Sakanade Shikai, the blade emits a fragrance. After smelling it, everything I see will be reversed. Up and down, left and right, front and back—the direction I see is opposite to the direction of the slash."

"I've said so much, in exchange, shouldn't you tell me about your abilities?"

Sensing the changes and listening to Shinji Hirako's explanation, Cang Du's face remained unchanged, and he remained silent.

After a long silence, he suddenly spoke up, "Death God, aren't you going to Bankai?"

Shinji Hirako was taken aback. "What did you say?"

Cang Du explained, "Without Bankai, you can't possibly defeat me!"

Hirako tilted her head. "Why do I feel like you're deliberately provoking me, trying to make me Bankai?"

Cang Du: "----"

Seeing that Cang Du fallen silent again, Shinji Hirako continued, "Why are you silent again? Is it because my scheme was exposed, and you're too clumsy with words to know how to refute it?"

He didn't know if Hirako had truly seen something or was just talking nonsense, so he could only remain silent.

Shinji Hirako was utterly defeated by Aizen, especially in terms of intelligence, and he was completely powerless to resist.

But that's because the opponents were too strong. Shinji Hirako was able to become the captain of the Death God and the leader of the Visored, of course because he was strong enough, but the most important reason was that he was smart enough.

Hirako immediately saw the panic hidden in Cang Du's silence, and his confidence grew stronger.

He grinned maliciously and asked, "Quincy, are you trying to lure me into using my Bankai because you can do something to Bankai?"
