Have We Defected?

While battles raged in Hueco Mundo and Soul Society, a simultaneous battle was also taking place in the World of the Living world.

Inside the enclosed space, just after removing the Pernida nerves from his body, Liltotto asked Urahara Kisuke Urahara Kisuke a question.

"The Auswählen, you have a way to avoid being the Auswählen, don't you?"

How do you know?

Urahara Kisuke still wore that enigmatic smile, which infuriated Liltotto. Now that ordinary Quincy in the World of the Living had been the Auswählen by Yhwach, Liltotto couldn't guarantee that Yhwach's next target wouldn't be her.

"Bazz-B, His Majesty has created a new H, which means His Majesty believes that the power of H has returned to him. And yet you are still able to take in Bazz-B. Why?" Liltotto said seriously, stating her reasoning, as this concerned her fate.

After witnessing that Yhwach truly did not Quincy them, the Quincy, as human beings, Liltotto's conscience was already tipped; there was no need for her to be a tool to serve Yhwach.

"Of course there is a way. We can use some methods to induce the seed of the Auswählen within you in advance." Urahara remained as nonchalant as ever. "However, what benefit would we get from helping you like that? I'm a businessman."

"You!" Liltotto quickly assessed her own worth. Urahara Kisuke had said he was a businessman, but where did Liltotto, who spent so much time in the Wandenreich, get her money?

Aside from her strength, she had virtually nothing of value and had nothing worth exchanging with Urahara Kisuke.

"What do you want?" Liltotto asked through gritted teeth. If Urahara dared to say anything outrageous, she would tear a piece of flesh from Urahara even if it cost her her life.

"To me, the only thing of value you have is your identity Quincy." Urahara pointed his Zanpakuto at Liltotto. "I can help you, but I also hope you can help me."

"After this battle, we hope you can help us rebuild the Quincy organization across the Three Worlds within a hundred years. What do you think?"

Liltotto immediately recalled what Ishida Uryū had once told her, "You want me to help Ishida Uryū?"

"Helping him is also helping yourself. To survive in this world, you need income, right? It's like establishing an order for the Quincy to survive."

Urahara Kisuke Quincy had no selfish motives. He didn't have much interest in researching Quincy, unlike Kurotsuchi Mayuri, who needed other people's bodies to repay his debts.

"I agree, but I have one more condition!" Liltotto pointed outside the enclosed space, "I need to bring my sisters with me. They have harmed the beings of the Three Worlds. I hope you can be lenient."

"Minnie and Candice?" Urahara Kisuke. "Sure, rebuilding the organization will require a lot of manpower. Do you have any other candidates?"

Liltotto shook her head. "Your plan is too horrifying. Under Haschwalth's surveillance, I could never have accomplished it. Even Minnie and Candice didn't know about it. I just thought they would listen to me, so I brought them to the World of the Living."

Liltotto's close friends are just a few members of the girl group. Gigi was sent to Soul Society by Yhwach, and as for Bambietta, with her self-centered personality, Liltotto doesn't think she'll listen to her.

On the contrary, Bambietta might even want to make a scene and kill Liltotto along with her because of her betrayal.

"I understand. You'll have to lend a hand later; I can't persuade your people with just words."

Urahara Kisuke raised his hand and threw a pill. The pill shattered in front of Liltotto, Liltotto immediately felt a strange force trying to forcibly pull her power away.

False the Auswählen: After witnessing Tsuna use Illusion magic to lure the Auswählen out of Bazz-B's body, Urahara Kisuke also researched a similar method to create a tool to avoid the Auswählen.

This pill acts like Hollow Bait, tricking Liltotto into releasing the Seed of the Auswählen. Because it's not the Auswählen ritual, Liltotto won't become as weak as she did with Bazz-B.

A thin, illusory thread composed of Reishi reached into Liltotto's body. A moment later, a Reishi carrying an eerie aura was pulled out by the thread—it was Yhwach's Reishi.

Urahara Kisuke took out a specially made small bottle and carefully put the Reishi into it. He had no interest in studying the bodies of ordinary Quincy, but Yhwach's Reishi were different, so he could study them.

Liltotto breathed heavily, feeling an unprecedented sense of liberation, as if nothing could restrain her anymore.

"Thank you!" Liltotto wasn't completely stubborn; she would still express her gratitude for the favor.

"Get ready, we're heading out. Otherwise, I'm afraid your two friends will get beaten to death."

A chilling smile appeared on Urahara's face. He waved his hand, releasing the space that had been sealed off between him and Liltotto, and the appearance of Karakura Town was once again revealed before their eyes.

On the streets of Karakura Town, the Quincy had been wiped out by Yhwach's the Auswählen. The few remaining members of the Knights of the Order each had wings of Vollständig spread out from their bodies.

However, apart from Haschwalth who seemed to be handling the situation relatively well, the other members of the Knights were in poor condition and were being overwhelmingly suppressed.

The first to give in was the hot-tempered Candice, whose opponent was Sora Inoue. Sora Inoue's tenacious fighting style, as sticky as chewing gum, was really bothering her.

Even after activating her Vollständig, Candice still couldn't find an advantage against Sora Inoue. Candice only had one method left: Pernida's evolutionary nerves.

Candice's fiery temper meant she was not one to hesitate; once she had an idea, she would act on it directly. Candice's spiritual pressure began to become strange, and the expression on her face became ferocious.

As soon as Liltotto emerged from the mountain, she noticed Candice's unusual behavior. She launched a large, circular blade trap at Candice, pinning Candice to the ground.

The evolutionary process was interrupted halfway through, and by her most familiar friend no less! Candice was furious. "Liltotto! What are you doing?!"

Liltotto, ignoring Candice in the moment, turned to Urahara Kisuke and cried out, "Please, Urahara Kisuke!"

"It's already been done," Urahara Kisuke said calmly.

Above Candice's head, a giant doll named Red Princess appeared, with countless fine threads extending from her body, forcibly drilling into Candice's body and extracting the nerves with evolutionary power from her body one by one.

Intense pain assaulted Candice's senses. Unlike Liltotto, Candice had already undergone evolution, so she was experiencing excruciating pain throughout her body.

Besides the pain, Candice also felt her body rapidly weakening, and the strength she had finally gained was quickly slipping away from her.

Under this double shock, how could Candice possibly hold back? She roared in anger, "Liltotto, what are you doing! This is betrayal!"

Candice's angry shout attracted the attention of the other Quincy members in Karakura Town. All the Quincy were momentarily stunned, but were quickly suppressed by their opponents.

Liltotto floated in front of Candice and said expressionlessly, "Shut up! Do you want to be killed like those trash?!"

"Useless, "Candice often used to describe other ordinary Quincy. Like Bambietta, she also looked down on ordinary Quincy, but she wasn't as extreme as Bambietta.

Seeing that Candice remained silent, Liltotto understood that she had grasped her meaning. Candice simply didn't like to think, which didn't mean she was really stupid.

Crushing the pill given to him by Urahara in front of Candice, and letting the threads penetrate Candice's body to fish out Yhwach's Reishi, Candice, feeling much lighter, finally understood that Liltotto had not lied.

"And the price?" Candice asked, regarding the cost of betraying them to the other side.

"Don't worry about that for now, we'll talk about it after the battle. I need to go check on Minnie first." Liltotto didn't have time to say much to Candice. Candice had used Pernida's power, and Minnie might explode at any time.

After completely severing Pernida's nerves, Urahara Kisuke left Candice lying on the ground and chased after Liltotto with Red Princess. His business wasn't finished yet; he still had one more order to place.

Following Minnie's spiritual pressure, Liltotto arrived at her battlefield and was so surprised by the scene that was completely different from that of Candice that her mouth dropped open.

Minnie was also in a sorry state, but unlike Candice, she didn't beg for more power, nor did she continue fighting Chad. The two simply gazed at each other from afar, not disturbing one another.

Upon seeing Liltotto appear, Minnie waved happily at her, "Lily, over here!"

"Minnie, what's wrong?" Liltotto was surprised to see Minnie so calm when she appeared in front of her.

"Didn't you defect? After thinking about it, we have no choice but to go together," Minnie explained playfully, tilting her head.

She heard Candice's shout and without hesitation, Minnie forcibly ended her battle with Chad. Since Liltotto had betrayed her, she, as a good friend, would defect with her. In any case, there was nothing to miss about the Wandenreich.

Liltotto hugged Minnie tightly, moved. She rarely showed such a rich expression; among her close friends, only Minnie would unconditionally trust her judgment.

Since Minnie didn't use her evolutionary abilities, she didn't have to endure the same pain Candice, Urahara Kisuke easily removed all the foreign objects from her body.

"You've fulfilled my request. What do you need us to do next?" Liltotto turned to face Urahara Kisuke and asked, "To join you in killing the other members of the Knights?"

"No, you are precious Quincy forces, we can't waste them on the battlefield." Urahara Kisuke turned and looked up at the sky, his expression serious. "Besides, Yhwach is coming soon, it's not good for you to stay here, lest you get killed."

Urahara pulled out a phone with a navigation route on it. "Go hide here. Come out after the battle is over."

Urahara arranged for the location to be the large warehouse Visored had once been stationed.
