The Flawless Fourth Pupil

Yhwach was so angry he almost laughed. The previously favorable situation had been ruined by Aizen. Having lost his sword, Soya Ashirogi, all he could do was set his sights on Ichigo Kurosaki.

As for Sawada Tsunayoshi, Yhwach doesn't believe he can wield this sword that can also see the future. Sawada Tsunayoshi must die!

At this point, Yhwach had even lost his last ally, Haschwalth, leaving Yhwach isolated and helpless, fighting alone against the combined forces of the Three Worlds.

Seeing the stance of Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto and his men, Yhwach that if he wanted to achieve his goal, he had no choice but to kill everyone who stood in his way!

It seems like more than a year has passed, and all the scheming and plotting has ultimately turned into a head-on confrontation. Yhwach, with his good temper, couldn't hold back any longer.

Before Yhwach could even process his emotions, Tsuna had already attacked, with White Dragon accompanying him in another fierce assault.

However, Yhwach didn't even glance in Tsuna's direction. His the Almighty had already told him that Tsuna would attack him. His gaze was entirely focused on Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's camp. As for Tsuna's attack, he could easily dodge it with a flick of his wrist.

The scattered Reishi fell into the sky, each Reishi transforming into a Spirit Bow and Arrows, aimed precisely at the crowd guarding the Soul King.

Tsuna realized something was wrong. He saw that all of these Spirit Bow and Arrows carried the power to All-Piercing. Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto and the others couldn't possibly dodge them all, and most of them would be injured by Yhwach's attack.

Conversely, the Soul King became a hot potato for Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, because the so-called "All-Piercing" could not harm the Soul King at all; on the contrary, those who protected the Soul King would be harmed because of it.

It was too late to stop it; arrows had already begun to fly towards Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto and the others. Tsuna could do was attack Yhwach was closest to him, to stop his next attack.

Yhwach had already seen Tsuna's attack. This time, he couldn't escape. In his opinion, it was not unreasonable to take a direct hit from Sawada Tsunayoshi in order to severely damage the Allied Forces of the Three Worlds.

The flames of the sky engulfed Yhwach, yet Yhwach showed no discomfort whatsoever. His body even became semi-transparent, a result of Lille Barro's ability to allow him to pass through the opponent's attack.

Yhwach, naturally, seized the opportunity presented by Tsuna's momentum and delivered a Tsuna blow.

Blood splattered across the sky; the mere knife wound couldn't seriously injure Tsuna, but it was enough to make him stop in his tracks.

At this moment, the Spirit Bow and Arrows, containing the power to All-Piercing, rained down on the allied forces of the Three Worlds like meteors, and everyone used all their strength to resist Yhwach's attack.

What's terrifying is resistance. All-Piercing and fears no resistance. All the Bleach or Hollows who subconsciously used defense suffered severe injuries. Only those with keen combat instincts managed to dodge.

With a single move, Yhwach severely damaged most of the allied forces, making the alliance of beings from the Three Worlds a joke in his eyes.

Blood and ice flowers danced in the air simultaneously. Unohana Retsu and Kotetsu Isane immediately launched a joint rescue operation, but the allied forces were severely damaged and their combat strength could not be restored in a short time.

Led by Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, the remaining Bleach and Hollows, without needing Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's command, unanimously unleashed their attacks on Yhwach.

They unleashed a barrage of attacks— Hakuda, slashes, Cero —at Yhwach as if they were free. In their view, if they didn't launch an attack on Yhwach soon, another group of them might be severely injured by Yhwach.

Seeing himself surrounded, Yhwach calmly stepped through the air, seemingly unconcerned about being attacked.

This strange phenomenon made Tsuna slow down a bit. Putting everything else aside, Old Man Yamamoto's Melting Double Bone were not Yhwach's turtle shell could completely ignore. Why was he stopping?

Just as these attacks were about to hit Yhwach, he calmly raised his left hand, and another pair of wings unfolded behind him. A powerful spiritual pressure surged forth, and some things beyond the reach of sight became entangled in the attacks aimed at him.

The next moment, these attacks aimed at Yhwach suddenly turned around and returned along their original routes, heading back towards the direction from which they had been launched.

Tsuna fell silent. He had a rough idea of what that ability was: the Soul King's left hand, Pernida's Saint Letters C, the Compulsory!

At that moment, a large hole appeared in the Soul Society's Department of Research and Development. Yhwach absorbed the power of the Soul King's Left Hand, then used Reishi to mimic nerves, wrapping them around the attack and forcibly returning the attack aimed at him.

This so-called the Compulsory became even more terrifying in Yhwach's hands; the nerves not only affected living organisms, but also could influence purely spiritual pressure constructs.

"I told you everything you've done has been in vain!" Yhwach turned around, completely ignoring the effects of his attacks, and flicked his hands at Tsuna. "This is my power, the Miracle beyond your comprehension!"

As the last two words fell, another pair of wings unfolded behind Yhwach, giving him eight wings. Yhwach, like a god, stunned everyone present.

The sound, like a giant drum being struck, emanated from Yhwach. No further explanation was needed; at that moment, the Soul King's heart was also absorbed into Yhwach's body.

Because these three components of the Soul King were once Yhwach's subordinates, he was able to openly use the method of the Auswählen to steal the power of the Soul King for himself.

This was Yhwach's last trump card. He had gone to great lengths to cultivate Pernida and others, all so that they would bear his Quincy Cross mark.

Now, these backup energy sources have finally come in handy.

But the growth of new wings on his back wasn't the end of the story. The parts of the Soul King were also part of the Soul King, and absorbing them meant that Yhwach had absorbed a portion of the Soul King's Power.

The pupils inherited from the Soul King underwent changes under the influence of these external forces.

A tiny red pupil appeared in Yhwach's eye, and the space of his three pupils that he already had was suddenly compressed. Those eyes that symbolized the Almighty and omnipotence had actually evolved!

"Hahaha!!!"

Yhwach could no longer contain his excitement and burst into wild laughter. He had thought that the changes would only come after absorbing the Soul King's body, but now they had appeared ahead of schedule.

When Yhwach's eyes progressed from three pupils to four, it meant that he had mastered true the Almighty and the Almighty, no less than that of the Soul King Adonais!

Like a tidal wave, Yhwach's spiritual pressure surged outwards from his core, not only upgrading his the Almighty power but also elevating his spiritual pressure to a new level.

[This is!]

Tsuna couldn't contain his shock. In the future transmitted back by the Mare Flame, no matter how he attacked, Yhwach could easily counter him, as if Yhwach's ability to glimpse the future had surpassed his own.

[Little guy, look at his eyes.]

Byakuran sent a clip of a future image to Tsuna, which clearly showed Yhwach's four pupils.

[Complete the Almighty? How could that be?]

Tsuna couldn't help but search for visions of the future. The Soul King hadn't been killed by Yhwach yet, but he had awakened complete the Almighty and omnipotence.

[Little one, do you still remember Yhwach from your memories?]

Upon hearing Byakuran's question, Tsuna immediately realized, "[You mean, Yhwach, the one who absorbed the Soul King and whose body turned into the disgusting, big-eyed monster?]"

[Strictly speaking, that's when he couldn't control his power, resulting in a surge of energy— Yhwach's berserk state.]

[With his physical capacity, he simply couldn't control the power to absorb the entire Soul King. On the contrary, Yhwach is now more complete, and has just grown an the Almighty fourth pupil.]

In my opinion, this Yhwach is far more terrifying than the one you perceive him to be.

Byakuran's analysis only confirmed Yhwach's strength, but what Tsuna needed was not this information; the most pressing issue was not having a way to deal with Yhwach.

"Sawada! Tsuna! Yoshi!" Yhwach stood there, arms outstretched, fearless. "You've seen it, haven't you? That future can't defeat me no matter what!"

Tsuna responded to Yhwach with only silence, continuing to search within the Mare Flame for a way to break the deadlock.

Yhwach won't give Tsuna any more time. Having awakened his fourth pupil, he's going to rule the whole world!

Yhwach took a step forward and instantly appeared in front of Tsuna, his hands gleaming with Reishi light as he pointed a finger at the spot where Tsuna Hakusui.

Unable to dodge, Tsuna could only choose this path among the many futures he saw, his entire body radiating seven-colored light as various ferocious beasts pounced on Yhwach.

But even with such an all-out counterattack, Tsuna found himself severely injured and unable to get up again.

Compared to those futures where people are manipulated and killed by Yhwach, this is the best possible outcome.

At least, they can still save their lives.

At least, after Ichigo was killed by Yhwach, the Soul King still had the ability to retaliate.

At least, there's still one last chance...

With this thought in mind, Tsuna didn't hesitate to clash head-on with Yhwach. Just before their attacks were about to make contact and cause a violent explosion, a third party's spiritual pressure forcefully intervened.

"Getsuga Tensho!"

A black and red crescent moon flashed by, and Ichigo Kurosaki, transformed into the Locking Heaven's Sun form, had unleashed his strongest power.

Logically speaking, Ichigo shouldn't have intervened in the battle between Tsuna and Yhwach, as they Tsuna on completely different levels of strength. But Ichigo did anyway.

Just before Yhwach set off, he felt an immense unease, as if a close friend was about to leave him. Ichigo disregarded the difference in power and decisively drew his sword at Yhwach.

Due to the intervention of a third party, Tsuna and Yhwach created some distance between themselves on the battlefield where they were locked in close combat. Yhwach looked at Ichigo and once again revealed a smug smile on his face.

"I was supposed to deal with you later, but you still came to me willingly, Ichigo Kurosaki." Yhwach extended his hand to Ichigo in an inviting gesture, "Come and become my blade, my son!"
