Three-Quarters of the Special War Powers

"Ishida Ryuuken, a representative of the ancient Quincy?"

Haschwalth carefully examined the newly appeared man and woman, both dressed in white Quincy and each carrying a bow as large as their bodies.

What worried Haschwalth most was not the giant bow behind them, but the Quincy named Ishida Ryuuken, who simply used a one-handed bow to unleash Hirenkyaku, blocking all of their troops' arrows.

This made Haschwalth doubt the rumors circulating in the Empire: were the Quincy who adhered to tradition and fled to the World of the Living really far inferior to them in terms of technology?

"Are they the Quincy of the Wandenreich?"

Ryūken landed next to Urahara Kisuke with Hae. He was doing his daily work at the hospital, but after noticing something was wrong, he immediately rushed home, put on the clothes Hae had prepared, and came here together, arriving just in time for the Quincy forces to launch their first wave of attacks.

"That's right, let's pick our opponents before Tsuna and the others arrive."

Urahara Kisuke drew his Zanpakuto. The moment he saw the number of Sternritter members, he knew that the World of the Living was not the Quincy's primary target. Therefore, there was only one reason why these people were here: to stop the actions of the World of the Living's inhabitants.

As for where to stop them from going, there seems to be only one answer: Yhwach's true target is still Soul Society!

"How arrogant! When did it become your turn to choose us as your opponents?" Liltotto actually bypassed Haschwalth, raised her trap-like Spirit Bow, and shot an arrow at Urahara Kisuke.

Seeing this, Haschwalth frowned slightly. It seemed that Liltotto had some resentment about confining the sisters last time, which was why she had acted impulsively after leaving the Wandenreich.

However, this is for the best. Rather than letting the enemy choose their own people as opponents, Haschwalth believes that their Quincy division should seize the initiative.

Urahara Kisuke parried the incoming arrows with his sword while squinting at Liltotto was charging towards him. He found it strange; according to the intelligence, Liltotto was calm and Quincy.

However, Urahara Kisuke didn't care. He had ways to deal with Liltotto's abilities, and overall she was still a decent opponent.

"Leave those two traditional Quincy to me."

With Liltotto leading the way, others immediately followed suit. The one who stepped forward was a man with long, straight black hair, Ace Nott, whose Saint Letters F and whose ability was fear.

Judging from Ryūken's previous actions, Ace Nott believed that they might not be a match in archery alone. Fortunately, archery wasn't his forte. "Let me see the fear in your hearts!"

As the last Pure-Blood Quincy in the World of the Living, Ishida Ryuuken has his own pride. He is not afraid of any Quincy from the Wandenreich, nor will he refuse a challenge from an opponent.

However, there are always people who think differently. A Spirit Bow and Arrows landed at Ace Nott's feet, and the one who made the move was Ishida Uryū, who had rushed over.

"Father..."

Uryū opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything. He knew what Ishida Ryuuken was thinking, but in reality, facing As Nodt, who had the power of fear, was not a good choice for Ishida Ryuuken.

Ryūken returned Uryū a calm look, and from that look, Uryū understood that Ryūken would not refuse any Quincy opponent.

"Uryū, Uncle, if you're not going to fight, then stand aside! Getsuga Tensho!"

A black crescent moon flew directly past Uryū. Ichigo's voice was full of displeasure. The moment he saw Haschwalth leading the Quincy forces, the magnificent view of London once again flashed through his mind.

If he had dealt with Cinderella sooner, would London have been spared the destruction by the six Fairy Tale Dragon? Would that mean that hundreds of thousands of people wouldn't have perished in that disaster?

Ichigo was unaware that he still felt it was his own fault. Despite his usually carefree attitude, he was extremely sensitive inside. In those silent self-reproaches, he continuously improved his strength, and finally, he got what he deserved: Haschwalth!

The Getsuga Tensho wasn't aimed at the Sternritter leading the attack, but rather at the ordinary Quincy behind them.

Ichigo knew that this crescent moon would most likely have little effect on the Knights of Favonius, so he decided to maximize its effectiveness by taking down a portion of the Quincy first.

A divine golden light appeared above the Quincy troops' heads, and an illusory shield barrier blocked the Getsuga Tensho. The instant Ichigo made his move, Haschwalth swung the Scapegoat Shield above his head, and the dense network of Reishi it emitted blocked the attack for the Quincy.

As Ichigo made his move, more and more figures appeared around Ichigo, all of them his friends who had rushed over from the exam hall. Haschwalth couldn't help but turn his gaze to the last person to arrive.

"Sawada Tsunayoshi..."

Yhwach's two brief encounters with Tsuna —one in Hueco Mundo and the other through Satan —were enough to confirm to him that Sawada Tsunayoshi would be the biggest obstacle on his path to success.

Haschwalth, a half-body of Yhwach, led his team here, one of their purposes being to stop Sawada Tsunayoshi from going to Soul Society.

Looking at the Quincy before him, Tsuna frowned slightly. There were far too few of them, far fewer than the Quincy legions he had seen before. It seemed less like an attack on the World of the Living and more like a distraction.

Yhwach's goal was still Soul Society. Tsuna, having reached this conclusion, didn't even say a word and simply turned to leave.

Tsuna's actions alarmed Haschwalth, who immediately drew his sword and gave the order, "Quincy Army, attack!"

Even as the Quincy began their attack, Tsuna didn't turn his head; Ichigo and the others were more than enough to Ichigo with them.

Another hail of arrows rained down, Ichigo quickly shielded Tsuna, shouting, "Tsuna, you go! We'll handle this!"

Seeing Ichigo's diligent efforts, Tatsuki couldn't help but show a hint of pity. Although it wasn't what Ichigo thought, Tsuna did indeed have important things to do.

Liltotto was the first to attack, her Vollständig the God's Hunger, and she charged towards Urahara Kisuke, holding a serrated ring that resembled a bear trap.

With the Blood Mist Shield in front of him, Urahara Kisuke was pushed far away by Liltotto, which made him even more certain that Liltotto herself was problematic.

Combining this with the information Uryū had given him in the past, Kisuke smiled and said, "Why are you in such a hurry to see me, you hot-tempered lady?"

"I'll take down one of the four special combat forces!"

Hearing Liltotto's fierce voice, Kisuke's smile widened. He unleashed the Senju Kōten Taihō without any chanting, and the dense explosions resounded throughout Karakura Town.

Amidst the smoke of the explosion, the two were engaged in a rapid exchange of blows, and with each clash of swords, a faint, almost imperceptible sound could be hidden within.

"Urahara Kisuke, means."

"Ichigo Kurosaki, unleash your potential!"

"Sosuke Aizen, spiritual pressure."

"Sawada Tsunayoshi, unknown."

A hint of surprise flashed across Urahara Kisuke's face. This was completely different from the information he had received from Tsuna. The inclusion of Tsuna's name was understandable, but why was Kenpachi Zaraki's name removed?

Kenpachi Zaraki, who represents combat strength in Tsuna's intelligence, is not on Yhwach's list.

Liltotto had no idea what Urahara Kisuke was surprised about. The reason she approached Urahara Kisuke was because Uryū had told her about the characteristics of several trustworthy people. If she really couldn't survive in the Wandenreich, she should come to Uryū and the others.

After being reminded by Uryū, Liltotto, back in the legion, paid more attention to things she had previously overlooked.

After witnessing the creation of a new H using dozens of Quincy, Liltotto became certain that any of them were nothing more than tools in Yhwach's hands, tools that could be discarded at any time.

In search of a chance to survive, Liltotto and her two best friends chose to fight on the battlefield of the World of the Living.

However, before making a complete bet, Liltotto needs to see if Ishida Uryū's side has the strength to bet on. If Yhwach's side wins, she wouldn't mind returning to the Empire to live, since it's just about survival anyway.

Liltotto's attacks grew increasingly fierce. Several times, Urahara Kisuke to speak, but was forced to swallow his words, and injuries gradually appeared on his body.

With his Shikai, Urahara Kisuke was no match for Liltotto's attacks. Left with no other choice, he activated his Bankai, Kannonbiraki Benihime Aratame, which immediately reduced the pressure considerably.

With dense stitches joined together, Urahara Kisuke created a barrier, modeled after Kaname Tōsen's Bankai Enma Kōrogi, enveloping the two of them.

"Alright, Miss Liltotto, we can chat freely here since no one can detect our presence from the outside." Urahara Kisuke quickly waved his hands and said.

"You know my name, so it seems Ishida Uryū has already told you," Liltotto said, stopping her attack.

"Of course, Uryū has already told me that you are its chosen one, the future leader of the Quincy." Urahara Kisuke's smiling eyes actually had a hint of sincerity.

Only Urahara himself knew that the level of deception went from Tsuna to Uryū, and then to Liltotto; in any case, neither of them wanted to get involved in the Quincy mess.

"Now, can you share with me any information you have?" Urahara Kisuke asked.

"As you've probably guessed, our plan this time is a full-scale attack on the Three Worlds!"

"I know, Yhwach ' destination is the Soul King Palace, right? We'll send someone to inform him..."

"You know absolutely nothing," Liltotto interrupted Urahara Kisuke. "The Empire launched its attack much later than expected. You don't think we did nothing during that time, do you? The shadow has already covered the Dangai."

"With His Majesty's support, the Empire's technology has improved again this past year. You simply cannot break through it in a short time. We are merely pawns that His Majesty has abandoned in this World of the Living to delay you."

Perhaps it was because she understood the stakes involved that Liltotto blurted everything out.

Urahara Kisuke remained unchanged, his smile unchanged. "We need to have a contingency plan for this. It's just to deliver a message. Please make the trip, Dohane Aura."

(PS: To be honest, Kenpachi's performance in the Bloodbath was far from satisfactory, given his special combat power.)

Yhwach was originally known for his fighting prowess, but after sacrificing Hana and Yachiru, he only managed to kill Gremmy.

If Gerard had been killed because of Kenpachi's fighting prowess, perhaps neither Kenpachi nor Gerard would have had such a bad reputation. One was portrayed as someone who sacrificed Hana and Yachiru, while the other was betrayed and killed by the person he followed.

For now, we'll temporarily remove Kenpachi as a special combatant.
