It wasn't Yhwach advancing, but the Soul King resurrecting through his body

Omotesandō, the Royal Palace District, the Zero Division Detached Palace, and the Great Inner Palace Hall Soul King Rei rests.

These enormous buildings, when combined, form the magnificent, floating Soul King Palace.

From another perspective, this is the Dragon Ball World, a replica of Kami's Lookout on Earth.

However, the Soul King Palace, suspended in the void, clearly exudes a higher level of prestige.

This is like Son Goku's golden cudgel. Back then, Wu Dada lacked knowledge and imagined the limit to be 108,000 jin, but he didn't know that Mount Tai weighed 200 billion tons.

If he knew, the Son Goku's Korea would probably weigh 1.08 billion tons.

In short, the Soul King Palace is still very powerful.

At this moment, booming sounds continued within the Soul King Palace as five powerful Zero Division members desperately bombarded the Barrier of the Great Inner Palace Hall.

Yhwach's presence is felt within the Great Inner Palace Hall.

Shazo couldn't figure out why this was happening.

In the original storyline, Yhwach defeated the Zero Division one by one, leaving only the Great Monk alive before opening the Barrier to enter the Great Inner Palace Hall and find his half-dead father.

Today, Yhwach only entered the Soul King Palace for a few minutes, yet he somehow entered the Soul King's final resting place.

Actually, this was all Shazo's doing.

He was the one who made Yhwach experience despair and powerlessness; he was the one who cut Yhwach into a bust, making him even more miserable than the final King Frieza.

Faced with this helpless and utterly hopeless situation, Yhwach considered giving up.

His previous plan was to become Gods, to stand before his father in full glory, to receive his power, and to become the second generation of the Soul King with independent consciousness, as the true ruler of the Three Realms.

Yhwach wanted to bring his own team and his own power system, accept the position and authority of the Spirit Lord, but not accept his power, so as not to pollute his purity.

Just like when Li Shimin, the Grand General of the Heavenly Strategy, Grand Commandant, Minister of the Imperial Secretariat, Minister of the Imperial Secretariat of Eastern Shaanxi Circuit, Minister of the Imperial Secretariat of Yizhou Circuit, Governor of Yongzhou, Governor of Puzhou, Admiral the Twelve Guards, Chancellor, Pillar of State, and Prince of Qin, stepped in front of Emperor Gaozu and took away the Imperial Seal of China.

His Majesty Second Phoenix will not accept the Emperor Gaozu's faction; he looks down on these worthless people.

But the situation is completely different now.

Yhwach had lost his self-confidence and independence, and had lost most of his body and strength. He was no longer able to take the Imperial Seal from his father, Soul King.

All he can do now is open his Mind Stone and wholeheartedly accept the power of the Soul King.

This means that Yhwach's father's will will also enter along with the power, and the final result will be that he will be forced to give up most of his self and merge with the Soul King's consciousness.

In the most dangerous situation, the Soul King will completely destroy Yhwach's consciousness, take over his body, and resurrect him on the spot!

This is not impossible.

The Soul King was a figure from millions of years ago, and even after being reduced to this state, he remains immortal and alive.

Would such a powerful monster not have left itself a way to resurrect?

Shazo didn't believe it.

After all, even someone as naive as Kaguya Otsutsuki knew to leave behind a way to escape the seal, let alone the Soul King?

What? You're saying the Soul King might be an even more naive and innocent saint than Kaguya Otsutsuki?

Shazo firmly stated: He did not believe it.

Like begets like!

Could Yhwach, such a ruthless and vicious man, possibly have a saintly, benevolent father?

Shazo sighed, "Oh well, the Soul King's resurrection isn't such a big deal. We might as well just kill him with one strike!"

"By slaying the complete Soul King, I should be able to destroy this awkward Three Realms as well, and then I can rebuild the world!"

"Hehe, now that you mention it, I'm starting to feel like I'm a bad guy too."

"Haha, whatever, whatever, I'm destined to be the winner, and the winner isn't blamed!"

Great Inner Palace Hall Soul King Reaper lies in eternal rest, Yhwach, with only one hand remaining, crawled to his father's feet.

Upon seeing the Soul King, the breath he had been holding in suddenly dissipated, and he collapsed limply onto the ground.

Yhwach raised his hand, looking at his trembling fingers, and murmured, "It's not that I'm incapable, Father! It's just that that monster was too terrifying, his power was too great, I simply cannot comprehend his existence—"

"----Okay, I admit it, I'm really scared."

"Father, that monster named Shazo is a world-devouring monster. I... I no longer have the confidence to fight him. I can only rely on your will and strength to gain the courage to continue fighting."

Rumble rumble rumble!!

Before Yhwach could finish speaking, the Great Inner Palace Hall was suddenly attacked fiercely, and the violent tremors produced a terrifying shockwave.

roar.

Yhwach dared not hesitate any longer. He reached into the wound, scooped up a handful of fresh blood, and then placed his hand on his father's seal.

The blood, imbued with starlight, was smeared onto the seal and instantly seeped deep inside, transforming into thin, blood-red lines that extended visibly deeper into the seal.

In the blink of an eye, the thin thread was connected to the Soul King's body.

Boom!

A magnificent power he had never felt before flowed into Yhwach's body through the fine threads of his blood, along with an incomparably strong will.

Yhwach's physical condition was terrible, and his willpower was on the verge of collapse. He was powerless to resist the surging power and will.

He didn't even have time to stop or resist before he was crushed into dust and dissipated into his body.

When Shazo cleaved through the Barrier of the Great Inner Palace Hall, kicked over the heavy Main Gate, and entered the hall, Yhwach was no longer there.

Shazo saw that the Barrier crystal enveloping the Soul King's body had cracked, and countless black streams gushed out from inside the crystal, liquefying into black torrents that rushed towards Yhwach's fully restored body.

The thick, black liquid seemed to be some kind of hidden life form, radiating endless malice towards Shazo and the Zero Division members who rushed in.

Resentment, anger, murderous intent, Abomination —all negative emotions converge here, forming an indescribable despair.

Soon, the dark beings let Shazo go and turned their attention to the bald Great Monk, as if they had found an irreconcilable mortal enemy.

Shazo said with a grin, "Ichibē Hyōsube, it seems His Majesty the Soul King King's hatred for you is like a surging river, never-ending."

Ichibē Hyōsube ignored Shazo and took a deep breath, ordering, "Tenjirō Kirinji, Kirio Hikifune, Ōetsu Nimaiya, Senjumaru Shutara! Let's go!"

"The Soul King must be sealed away!"

But they were wrong. The current Soul King is no longer a mindless object, but a true Soul King who has been resurrected.

By harnessing the soul of his own child, he replenished the damage caused by his million-year seal and fully absorbed the power of his own body.

Furthermore, by taking over his son's body and absorbing the souls and power of tens of thousands of Quincy, he also rebuilt his limbs.

Although it's not as powerful as it used to be, it's sufficient for my needs.

Once he kills the jailers who betrayed him, sealed him away, and guarded him, he can regain his limbs and further enhance his power.

The Soul King opened his eyes. Soul King multiple pupils had been reconnected into interlocking double pupils, just like those of the legendary Hegemon-King Xiang Yu.

With just one glance, the Zero Division, led by Ichibē Hyōsube, lost all their strength without resistance, collapsed to the ground, and could never stand up again.

Soul King spoke up, "Ichibē Hyōsube, how dare you come to see me?"

"Did you really think that by using my power to generate the so-called Ōken Key, thereby gaining immortality, you could do so without paying a price?"

"That's true. When I'm completely sealed away and have no consciousness, no one can truly kill you."

"But I've woken up. You lot who used my power to reconstruct life are my natural servants."

"If I want you to live, you will never die!"

Ichibē Hyōsube, Tenjirō Kirinji, Denshu Kirio Hikifune, Ōetsu Nimaiya, Senjumaru Shutara are all among the best Death God gods) over the past tens of thousands of years.

Now, however, they all screamed in agony, their eyes revealing an indescribable despair, yet their bodies involuntarily rose to their feet, step by step walking towards the Soul King.

Ichibē Hyōsube, could barely turn his head. He shouted at Shazo and Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, who had just entered, "Kill me! Kill us!"

Captain-Commander Yamamoto had met Ichibē Hyōsube, and out of trust in the Zero Division, he was about to draw his sword, but was stopped by Shazo.

"It's no use, they can't be killed."

"The Zero Division used the Soul King's power to gain immortality and indestructibility, essentially transferring their life essence into the Soul King's body."

"The five members of the Zero Division that we see are merely manifestations of their power; in a sense, they are like phantoms with physical form."

"No matter how they try to kill, they can't kill them outright."

Shazo sneered, "How could stealing the power of those in power for one's own use not come at a price?"

Captain-Commander Yamamoto, Retsu Unohana, and Shunsui Kyōraku all gasped in shock.

Retsu Unohana asked, "Shazo, what are we going to do?"

Shazo replied, "Leave now, return to the Soul Society Soul Society, strengthen its Barrier, and await the world's collapse and reopening."

"Don't worry, I will deal with the Soul King, and I will also solve the problem of the world collapsing after the Soul King's death."

"Believe me."

Retsu Unohana suddenly smiled, "Yes, I believe you."

"If—you fail, I'll probably die with Soul Society. Then I'll come to Hell to find you; I won't let you be alone."

Shazo laughed heartily and waved for the Death God to leave quickly.

As they spoke, the five members of the Zero Division had completely merged into the Soul King's body, leaving only five heads shrunken to the size of a thumb, wailing incessantly on the Soul King's shoulder.

Hearing his enemy's cries, the Soul King narrowed his eyes, a look of enjoyment on his face.

At the same time, an endless stream of darkness flowed from his original body into his new one, requiring no time to transform and becoming his power without any waste.

An unknown black substance covered the Soul King's body, as if draping him in a large black cloak, with wisps of black mist swirling around him.

The air inside the Soul King's main hall grew increasingly thick and heavy, and a terrifying aura emanated from the Soul King, his brutal power quickly filling the entire space within the Spirit King Palace.

Shazo's expression gradually became serious. Originally, the Soul King had reached the pinnacle of the Bleach World by gathering the power of countless Quincy. Now that the Soul King has been revived, he has combined the power of both. Although the height may have only increased slightly, the density and terrifying power are completely different.

What was once considered loose, porous sand has now become a much more solid granite.

If the Soul King were to fight the previous Soul King, he would likely have an easier time Shazo, and would be able to kill him instantly.

As the last drop of black liquid flowed into Yhwach's body, the Soul King raised his hands and laughed, "Hahaha----"

The Soul King has finally been successfully resurrected.

As the Soul King laughed wildly, his Soul King began to shake violently. The sturdy palace, made of some unknown material, creaked and groaned as it shook, and finally collapsed into ruins.

At this moment, Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, and the World of the Living all began to collapse to varying degrees due to the freedom of the Soul King, the wedge in their creation.

It wasn't a massive earthquake that caused the houses to collapse, but rather the collapse of the world's isolation; the edges of the three worlds began to collide, and space transformed into nothingness.

According to the knowledge passed down by the Death God Reaper, without the wedge, the three worlds will be pulled apart by the forces of nature and eventually merge into one. If the three worlds can be re-integrated, a new world will be born.

If not, the three worlds will collide violently, and everything will return to chaos!

The Soul King stood proudly on the ruins of the Soul King's inner palace, his head covered in black, with what appeared to be eyes staring directly at Shazo.

After listening to Shazo's explanation of the Death God's worldview, he exclaimed, "So this is Ichibē Hyōsube's explanation of the world. Do you believe it?"

Under the Soul King's gaze, Shazo shook his head. "Of course I don't believe it."

Soul King asked in surprise, "Oh, why?"

Shazo replied, "Because there is also Hell. Whether it's Menos Grande or Death God, they all go to Hell after they die."

"How could such a closely interconnected Hell not be within the system of world cycles?"

Soul King laughed loudly, "Hahaha, you're right! How could we exclude Hell?"

"So that's how it is! So that's how it is!"

He laughed so hard that tears streamed down his face, "I was so badly fooled by Ichibē Hyōsube!"

"I actually believed him back then, that Hell is ominous, filthy, and garbage that should be excluded from the world."

"However, after I used all my strength to push away Hell, the World of the Living and the Spirit Realm could not reach a balance, and the two worlds kept getting closer."

"No, you can't say that."

"The World of the Living is the foundation of the Three Realms, an indestructible core. It's not that two worlds are approaching each other, but rather that the Spirit Realm I was born from is falling into the World of the Living."

"I had no choice but to step in and stop the Spirit Realm from falling."

"But I was scammed."
