Forcing Yhwach to Kill All the Quincy Himself

After the God of Wealth Shazo became an immortal, the Shazo people, drawing on his experiences in the Heavenly Court, resolutely and thoroughly abandoned the dragon's scaled armor clan and the White Tiger's beast clan, choosing the Phoenix's avian lineage as the direction for their power to advance.

Because the Phoenix leader is still around, but the Ancestral Dragon is truly gone, and the Qilin lineage—from the very beginning, has never had a true leader who can be considered its foundation.

In terms of real power, the Phoenix lineage still has the Golden-Winged Great Peng and the Kong Xuan King Peacock, whose strength and status far surpass those of the Four Seas Dragon Kings. As for the Qilin, it has nothing at all.

Therefore, for their own future, they will definitely strive to become part of the Phoenix lineage.

As Shazo got serious, each of his strikes triggered strange phenomena in the heavens and earth. He not only gained the power of the world but also conjured various birds and received some kind of mysterious blessing.

As a result, Shazo's attacks intensified, eventually forming an irresistible and overwhelming force.

Yhwach's expression was grave. Even he couldn't withstand such a terrifying attack head-on. If he were to be hit squarely, he would be severely injured, if not killed.

At his level, there's no possibility of serious or minor injuries; any injury could Self-Healing in the blink of an eye, as if it had never happened.

But Shazo's attack felt completely different to Yhwach; it was a feeling that could crush him into dust, an existence that surpassed his father, the Soul King, by a whole level.

Most importantly, he felt death during Shazo's attack!

The terror between life and death was immense; for the first time, Yhwach felt fear.

He was fearless before because he felt no threat of death.

Even when Captain-Commander Yamamoto beat him to the point of losing his strength, consciousness, and heartbeat, Yhwach did not feel threatened by death. He was certain that it was just a process of his transformation.

But now, what he feels is death, the end of everything ceasing to exist.

Fear of death is the greatest instinct. Without thinking too much, Yhwach summoned countless Spirit Particles into his body, and straight, eerie patterns appeared on his body surface.

[Blut Vene]

This is the Quincy's strongest defensive measure!

It is said that after being equipped with the [Blut Vene], even the Bankai of the Death God Captain cannot break through the defense and harm the Quincy.

Of course, this is just internal propaganda from the Quincy. If it were really that effective, well, the Death God would have been wiped out long ago.

However, the [Blut Vene] on Yhwach can indeed block all Bankai attacks.

Back then, he used this move to withstand the attack of the Zanka no Tachi after its Bankai, and preserved the integrity of his body under Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's attack.

It was precisely because his body was intact that Yhwach was able to be resurrected so smoothly.

If he were torn into eight pieces like the Soul King, the first thing he would do upon waking up would be to travel and adventure everywhere, searching for his missing body parts.

In the process of regaining their body, they gradually recover their strength and ultimately achieve true resurrection.

This is another story featuring Yhwach.

After Yhwach donned the [Blut Vene], he looked up at the Sword Qi bird chasing him and immediately realized that his defense was still insufficient!

Immediately afterwards, the patterns on his body's Blut Vene shone brightly, and the radiance expanded outward from his body, transforming into a spherical defensive shield that firmly enveloped him.

[Blut Vene Anhaben]

This is an enhanced version of the [Blut Vene]!

After activating this move, the [Blut Vene] used for defense can be expanded outside the body, turning it into a textured semi-circular shield.

[The Blut Vene Anhaben] can not only withstand enemy attacks, but also corrode everything that touches its body, seizing control at the Spirit Particles level and taking the enemy's treasures for its own use.

Yhwach can even briefly control his Zanpakuto with this technique.

However, [Blut Vene Anhaben] is by no means a perfect skill. While it enhances defense and counterattack capabilities, it inevitably reduces Yhwach's speed and increases his vulnerable area.

As a result, the Sword Qi birds that Shazo unleashed no longer missed their targets, but instead crashed into the [Blut Vene Anhaben], causing a series of booming sounds.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Shazo's attack was centered on his own Spiritual Pressure, drawing in the power of the world, and also receiving a mysterious boost from the unseen, resulting in an unprecedentedly powerful attack.

The power of the Sword Qi Bird was unmistakably revealed the moment it collided with the [Blut Vene Anhaben].

The terrifying energy within the bird manifested as a stream of light upon impact, racing across its defensive shell and tearing visible cracks wherever it went.

In just a moment, [Blut Vene Anhaben] was already in grave danger.

Click-clack, biu! -- Chirp! Chirp-

Upon hearing a sound like ice cracking, Yhwach's pupils constricted sharply.

He anticipated that the enemy's attack would be terrifying, but he did not expect it to be this terrible. Even his strongest defense, which he exerted with all his might, could not withstand Shazo's attack, which carried the power of heaven and earth.

Yhwach knew that with his heavy [Blut Vene Anhaben], dodging was simply impossible.

In his haste, there wasn't much he could do but shout, "Great Saint Bow!!"

As he rapidly pulled with both hands, clusters of enormous Heilig Pfeil appeared out of thin air, recklessly blasting towards Shazo.

Yhwach wanted to use offense as defense, forcing Shazo to defend and reduce his offensive power, thus relieving himself of the pressure.

The light arrow, shaped like a giant spear, struck Shazo in an instant, its shimmering tip tearing through the air with a chilling shriek.

Shazo looked at these Heilig Pfeil. He neither dodged nor dodged, nor did he make any defensive stance. He continued to swing the Heaven-Measuring Ruler and slash out with Sword Qi.

With the blessing of a mysterious power, the Sword Qi transformed into Sword Qi birds, which swooped down on Yhwach one after another.

As for the swarming Heilig Pfeil, they were met with streaks of Byakurai that appeared out of nowhere.

This is the mental and physical supernatural power [Kido Rotation] that Shazo Zuo naturally mastered after completing his cultivation of the "Samsara Salvation Sutra". It does not require chanting or hand gestures; it can be activated by simply flashing one's Kido.

On average, three [Hadō #1: Byakurai] shots are enough to destroy a Heilig Pfeil.

With his mind, Shazo unleashed the speed of the Byakurai, several times faster than Yhwach's summoning of the Heilig Pfeil. Soon, bolts of Byakurai found their way into the [Blut Vene Anhaben].

The sound of the ice cracking grew louder and more frequent, until finally—

Click!

The [Blut Vene Anhaben] could not withstand the pressure and cracked completely, bursting out with a loud "bang"!

Yhwach was so dizzy from the shock that he forced himself to look up, trying to suppress the vertigo.

A dense Sword Qi birds pierced through the exploding Spirit Particles and swarmed down.

Among the birds were countless Inazuma of Byakurai, completely filling his field of vision without leaving any gaps.

Suddenly, Yhwach felt that time had Flow down, and the world had suddenly darkened.

He could see the movements of every Sword Qi bird clearly, and even the extension and reversal of the white Byakurai.

However, his physical reactions were even more sluggish, making it completely impossible for him to perform the actions he imagined.

All he could do was shift his body slightly to avoid the peck of the largest Sword Qi- wielding heron at the most dangerous spot.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom-!

A barrage of attacks rained down on Yhwach, the Sword Qi clashing fiercely with the [Blut Vene], unleashing a dense roar that even merged into one.

The billowing smoke and dust enveloped the emperor of the Wandenreich, and Shazo could no longer pinpoint the enemy's location, leaving him no choice but to halt his attack.

He's not the impatient Prince Vegeta; he wouldn't make a foolish attack like the Prince's Fighting Style.

When the smoke cleared, Shazo saw Yhwach.

He had moved to a corner of the Royal Palace, where he knelt on one knee, clutching his chest wound and panting heavily.

Yhwach's [Blut Vene] was already Shattering, and even his cloak had been cut into strips, revealing his bloodstained and wounded body.

Even though the [Blut Vene] blocked one wave of attacks, it still left wounds on his body.

Fortunately, most of the wounds were not serious, and by this time they had healed to the point where only a bloodstain remained.

But on the chest that Yhwach was covering, there was a horrific open wound, so large that he couldn't cover it with both hands.

Through the open wound, one could see white fragments of broken ribs, a powerfully beating heart, and alveoli rising and falling with each breath.

But what's even more glaring is the dense network of fine Spirit Particles Spirit Particles covering the heart and lungs, countless threads stitching up the lacerations.

It was clear that Yhwach's internal organs were severely injured; if they hadn't been held together by the Spirit Particles threads, his internal organs would likely have spilled out and covered the ground.

Seeing Yhwach's condition, Shazo couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. "He's been beaten like this and he's still alive? This guy's got some serious toughness!"

"Must we dismember them into eight pieces, burn them to ashes, or even suppress and seal them separately in the five extreme regions of the world?"

Yhwach and Shazo exchanged a glance, startled by the naked malice in Shazo's eyes.

Unable to conceal his location, he let out a sudden low shout, instantly destroying everything around him—the floor, rubble, dust, air, and so on—all disintegrating into Spirit Particles.

Before the surge of Spirit Particles could leak out, Yhwach greedily swallowed it into his body. The surging tide of Spirit Particles poured in from all directions, filling his wounds.

In an instant, Yhwach was healed.

Shazo stared in disbelief. How could such a severe injury be healed so easily by simply absorbing the surrounding decomposed Spirit Particles?

If it were that simple, the evolution from inorganic matter to organic matter and then to rudimentary life in the natural environment wouldn't have taken billions of years.

Even the God of Wealth Shazo, with the divine power of the Heavenly Court system, could not achieve this level of power.

It's important to know that the first person in the cultivation system to directly transform inorganic matter into life was the Nuwa the Saint, and only she could do it.

In mythological systems, those capable of similar feats are invariably the supreme gods or creators of their respective systems.

Even those who can transform the form of life matter are all legitimate gods or immortals, something that ordinary mortals could never do.

But Yhwach, right in front of Shazo, completely healed what could have been a fatal injury by consuming simple particles.

Even Shazo couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Just then, Shazo heard faint screams.

Upon closer examination, he realized that this was not a real sound, but rather a Spirit Particles wave emanating from Yhwach's body.

Shazo Zuo frowned, raising his perception to its limit, carefully sensing the details of Spirit Particles fluctuations through Spiritual Pressure.

He soon discovered the clue: the Spirit Particles that gathered in Yhwach's body did not all become part of Yhwach's body; the vast majority of them were consumed as consumables.

The remaining small portion was simply insufficient to repair the body's damage; the Spirit Particles that truly healed Yhwach's wounds came from other Quincy.

Shazo discovered that at the very moment Yhwach instantly Self-Healing, at least a thousand Quincy suddenly died.

Their Spiritual Pressure fluctuations, when combined, form the current forest fluctuations that are weeping within Yhwach's body.

"So it's extracting the life force of subordinates—no, this is the Quincy's [Auswählen]!" Shazo finally understood what had happened, and his heart, which had been pounding in his chest, finally settled back into his stomach.

It turns out that instead of converting ordinary Spirit Particles into one's own body, one consumes these Spirit Particles to reclaim the scattered souls within the body, transforming the Quincy's life essence into one's own body, thereby replenishing one's missing life force.

That's not scary at all, not scary at all.

Shazo could bring Yhwach to the brink of death a hundred or a thousand times, but could the Wandenreich afford to wear Quincy?

Shazo's lips curled into a sinister smile, "Heh heh, I've discovered the most efficient way to Carnage Quincy: repeatedly bring you to the brink of death."

"I believe that a cowardly emperor would not hesitate to sacrifice his people in his place."

"They can take down a thousand Quincy every time, without worrying about them hiding, resisting, or escaping. Their efficiency is unbelievably high."

Yhwach's face was contorted with rage, but all he could do was curse, "Bastard!"

This was an irresistible, overt scheme; even if Shazo made it perfectly clear, Yhwach had no way to counter it.

Because he couldn't win, and he couldn't escape.

Just as Yhwach was racking his brains for a solution, Shazo used [Body Flicker Technique], [Shunpo], and [Geppo Instant Flash, and suddenly appeared beside him.

Shazo flipped his hand and shook the Heaven-Measuring Ruler, slashing Yhwach was still recovering health, away with a single blow.

Then, without giving Yhwach a chance to catch his breath, he flashed forward and reappeared in all eight directions around Yhwach.

Almost simultaneously, Shazo unleashed a series of fierce slashes from eight directions, centered on Yhwach, with the [Instant Flash] technique exceeding its limits. Eight dazzling Sword Qi erupted simultaneously.

Shazo has decided to use Yhwach's [Auswählen] tender dragon bone to make him kill all the Quincy and become the last commander without an army.
