The Arrow from Nine Years Ago

The sky above Karakura Town was filled with explosions, the sounds of attacks and explosions never ceasing. Yet, amidst this dense barrage, neither Tsuna nor Yhwach could do anything to their opponents, who always seemed to be able to foresee the future.

"The battle has come to this point, you must have seen it all, Sawada Tsunayoshi!" Yhwach still had the leisure to chat with Tsuna. "In countless futures, there is none where you have defeated me."

"In other words!" Yhwach's aura surged once more, the Deathdealing of the Schrift D rapidly adapting to Tsuna's spiritual pressure. "You have absolutely no chance of defeating me!"

Tsuna did not respond to Yhwach's boastful words, or rather, Yhwach was right; Byakuran had already told him in advance that there was no future where "Sawada Tsunayoshi" would defeat Yhwach.

Even so, can Tsuna just stop fighting? Letting Yhwach realize his ambitions is a price Tsuna can't afford.

"Whether you answer or not doesn't matter, this battle is due for an end!"

A flash of blue light appeared on Yhwach's body, and the Schrift D had already detected Tsuna's abundant Reishi. Once he adapted to the presence of these Reishi, he could ignore Tsuna's attacks, just like the Night Flame.

The idea was good, but the next moment Yhwach's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Sawada Tsunayoshi's spiritual pressure was toxic!

"You haven't forgotten, have you? Yhwach, my essence is emptiness!"

Tsuna's voice rang out above Yhwach's head. He was hanging upside down above Yhwach, his right hand completely transformed into the shape of a dragon. The spinning orange-red Flame Pressure was released instantly, turning the White Dragon into an orange fire dragon as well.

Jet Cannon!

The fire dragon roared past, instantly engulfing Yhwach within it. The harmonizing power of the sky immediately erupted, rejecting all frills and emphasizing the equality of all beings.

Yhwach, scorched by the Sky Flame, immediately sensed that the power of the Saint Letters he had withdrawn was losing its effect. Fortunately, the spiritual pressure that the Auswählen had withdrawn was still present, but he could not use overly flashy abilities.

After a moment's thought, Yhwach realized what he had overlooked: everything Hollow is poison to Quincy, so the power of the Schrift D is no match for Sawada Tsunayoshi's current spiritual pressure. To deal with Tsuna, he must use force to blast him to death.

Thankfully, Sawada Tsunayoshi didn't kill his own future.

After Yhwach confirmed his the Almighty future once again, he stood up again, and intense spiritual pressure erupted from his body. Various turtle shells made of Blut Vene were put on him, forcefully breaking through the fire dragon woven by Tsuna.

Yhwach had just escaped from the fire dragon when Tsuna rushed towards him.

Yhwach knew that Tsuna was trying to use speed to suppress his predictions again, but unfortunately, the Almighty could not only be used to dodge attacks.

Yhwach calmly raised his Reishi Blade and Quincy Cross, switching positions of the two swords with ease, effortlessly blocking Tsuna's rain of attacks.

Ordinary punches and kicks were useless; instead, Tsuna saw Yhwach take advantage of the gaps in his attacks to launch a counterattack.

He cannot give Yhwach a chance to retaliate; he must suppress Yhwach in every way and draw his attention away from Yhwach!

Change the future you see!

Tsuna mobilized the Spike Dragon formed from his hair. Under the cover of the multiplying Cloud Attribute flames, they rapidly split and multiplied. Green lightning increased their physical strength, and their skin molted into yellow gecko skin, increasing their speed. Crimson tyrannosaurus fangs were their sharpest weapons, Fish Dragon fins grew on their noses, suppressing all evil spirits along their path.

This is another way for Tsuna to use his power after his complete Resurrección. Compared to True Bankai, where the Vongola animals need to cooperate with each other to unleash the full power of their attributes, Complete Resurrección is much simpler.

The Void has no such rules, mixing all the elemental powers into a hybrid monster. This monster is essentially a Void, a Void fused with the Mare Flame.

The Hollows, containing flames of all attributes except the Sky Flame, slammed into Yhwach, the violent impact sending Yhwach crashing to the edge of Karakura Town.

Amidst the thick smoke and dust, blue Reishi light points flickered continuously, Yhwach, dressed in tattered clothes and wielding two swords, charged out.

This was the first time Yhwach had been in such a sorry state. His Blut Vene could no longer maintain the integrity of his clothes, so he had to settle for shrinking it onto his body surface to prevent injury.

The instant Yhwach burst forth from the smoke and dust, Tsuna with its crimson fangs bared, and his right hand holding White Dragon with angry orange flames in its mouth.

"Trying to pull the same trick again, Sawada Tsunayoshi..."

Yhwach's eyes told him that Tsuna was trying to use his fast-paced attacks to keep him under pressure with his the Almighty and omnipotence, but this time it was completely different from before. His the Almighty had seen through all of Tsuna's attack patterns.

Easily dodging the flames spewed by the White Dragon, Yhwach used his Reishi beam sword to block the Tyrannosaurus's bite, Quincy Cross slashed the Quincy into Tsuna's chest with his Quincy!

Whoosh!

Blood splattered from the sky above Karakura Town as Yhwach slashed Tsuna's shoulder across his chest. This would undoubtedly be a serious injury to anyone else, but Tsuna, with his High-Speed Regeneration power enhanced by the ultimate Sun Attribute, recovered from his injury the instant the sword left his body.

"The power within you is truly interesting."

Yhwach commented as he rapidly slashed at Tsuna, his hands flashing out sword dances, forcing Tsuna back to the center of Karakura Town.

Of course, Tsuna wouldn't sit idly by and wait to die. Yhwach could see through his attack path, so he could also know the direction of Yhwach's attack.

As Yhwach used his sword dance to leave wounds on his body, Tsuna also continuously used his flames to leave wounds on Yhwach's body.

Right now, the two of them are completely competing in terms of spiritual pressure. Tsuna's injuries can be healed with his Sun Attribute power, while Yhwach is using Omnipotence to give himself a perfectly intact body.

The atmosphere became tense. Apart from Ichigo and Uryū, who were still entangled with Haschwalth, the onlookers huddled in Ikkaku of Karakura Town, leaving the battlefield entirely to Tsuna and Yhwach.

As for the tactic of freeing Ichigo, it was temporarily abandoned. The more people there were, the stronger Haschwalth became. Let them fight it out for now.

The balance of power still rests between Tsuna and Yhwach, but even so, are Urahara and the others truly content to merely stand on the sidelines and await their fate?

"Sawada Tsunayoshi, can't you see clearly even now?" Yhwach's attacks grew increasingly fierce, and Tsuna seemed to be on the verge of collapse. "Of all the futures, there's only one future where I'll fail, and that path has been blocked by me!"

As Tsuna's decline in strength grew, Yhwach became increasingly certain that only Ichigo Kurosaki could defeat him. As long as he could lock in his own doomed future, he would be invincible!

Tsuna didn't reply. His face showed pain, and the wounds on his body were increasing. His High-Speed Regeneration power could no longer keep up with the changes in his wounds, and his spiritual pressure was fluctuating, giving people a feeling of helplessness.

Yhwach's expression grew increasingly excited; being able to personally kill an opponent who, like him, could see the future was undoubtedly something that would excite him.

Before becoming the true king of this world, he would absolutely not miss such an appetizer!

Unbeknownst to him, Yhwach's the Almighty vision of the future was becoming increasingly narrow, and the figures of Tsuna's resistance in his eyes were gradually disappearing, leaving only one future where Tsuna was completely annihilated by him!

I saw it! This strike has completely killed Sawada Tsunayoshi!

Yhwach's mouth twisted into a grotesque grin as he crossed his twin swords above his head, poised to strike Tsuna.

Suddenly!

Yhwach noticed a smile on Tsuna's face. Why? He was about to die, so why could Sawada Tsunayoshi still smile?

This sliver of doubt completely consumed the last bit of Yhwach's ability to see the future. He swung his twin swords forward with inertia, but just as he was about to strike Tsuna, no matter how hard he tried, the swords simply stopped in front of Tsuna. His arms were immobilized, and the swords could not advance any further!

Yhwach suddenly felt his body become incredibly stiff, like a stone. The only thing he could still move was his power core, the Almighty and all-powerful eye with three pupils.

As his pupils moved, Yhwach discovered that his body had been covered with numerous silver, tree-like patterns. These patterns resembled another form of the Blut Vene, but instead of providing any enhancement, they restricted his movements.

At the heart of these markings is his chest, where a short, silver arrow is embedded.

Still Silver.

Yhwach immediately recognized the material of the silver arrow; it was the raw material he used to execute the Quincy the Auswählen the Auswählen.

Still Silver can form Silver Blood Clot in the Quincy's heart and blood vessels, blocking any possibility of their Quincy.

In some ways, this stuff is even more poisonous than Hollow spiritual pressure. It was created by Yhwach to deal with all Quincy, and it works on Quincy, including himself!

Behind Yhwach, on the distant edge of Karakura Town, Ishida Ryuuken stood holding a short bow. This was the arrow of revenge he had been preparing since the day of the Auswählen in Karakura Town, and now it finally had the chance to pierce Yhwach's body.

After learning that Yhwach possessed the Almighty, Ryūken was constantly worried about whether his silver arrows could hit Yhwach.

However, he and Tsuna had not devised a countermeasure for this problem because they knew that if they discussed a countermeasure with Yhwach himself, the omniscient and the Almighty Yhwach would definitely find out.

They could only rely on their tacit understanding, the unspoken understanding between master and apprentice, to find their Yhwach.

While everyone else witnessed Tsuna and Yhwach anticipating each other's moves, Ishida Ryuuken saw an opportunity to fire his silver arrow.

Yhwach's attention was entirely focused on Tsuna after his Resurrección, and he didn't notice Ishida Ryuuken's disappearance at all. Or rather, even if he had noticed, he wouldn't have cared.

Realizing this, Tsuna immediately changed the rhythm of the battle, no longer playing the game of anticipation with Yhwach, but instead launching a fierce attack, using himself as bait to attract Yhwach's full attention.

The fact that Tsuna gradually fell into a losing position was a way for him to deplete Yhwach's mental energy. When Yhwach only had Tsuna in his eyes, the future that the Almighty could see was only Tsuna.

In that split second, Ishida Ryuuken seized the opportunity; the arrow from nine years ago struck Yhwach squarely in the chest.
