Ordinary Shinigami might not need it, but people like Yamamoto, Unohana, and Shunsui have basically reached their limits. If they can break through their limits by using Hollowfication, their strength will definitely increase significantly!

—When we go to conquer the Wandenreich in the future, Iori can take it easy and relax.

After all, we can't do everything ourselves; we need to motivate these people!

First the Wandenreich and Yhwach, then the Soul King Palace and the Great Monk... Let's start with the Thirteen Court Guard Squads and transform this world to Iori's satisfaction!

He didn't care about the so-called "Central 46." No matter how those elders and politicians proclaimed that "the laws of our ancestors cannot be changed," the evolutionary paths of Shinigami and Hollows would be laid bare before everyone.

Once the United States acquired nuclear weapons, the Soviet Union also needed to have them in order to maintain a balance.

Correspondingly, when "Arrancar" are prevalent in Hueco Mundo, Soul Society must also have its own "Visored" technology.

No matter how much they objected, once Iori "accidentally" discovered the King of the Quincy in the shadows, everything was out of their control!

When Iori becomes the ruler of Hueco Mundo, the Captain-General protecting Seireitei, and commands dozens of Vastolorde-class Arrancar and Bankai-level Visored, how Bleach will Iori's strength evolve under the Jiachi of [One-Hearted Admiration · Reverse] and [Vishnu's Arm]?

—The feeling of holding the whole world in your hands is truly irresistible!

Haschwalth, my son...

"!"

In the darkness, the blond, handsome man suddenly opened his eyes, his expression filled with shock.

"Your Majesty... Your Yhwach... Is that you?"

Although it was just a murmur in his dream, Haschwalth had a strange intuition that it was Yhwach himself who was calling him!

Thinking of this, he immediately got up and went to the Royal Hall where the coffin was placed.

The same familiar throne, the same familiar coffin... nothing had changed, Yhwach had not yet awakened.

"Could it just be my imagination?" the blond-haired beauty pondered.

He climbed the steps one by one until he reached the throne. He originally wanted to touch the coffin to check the situation inside, but he suddenly opened his eyes as soon as he closed them, looking as if he had been frightened.

"This, this is..."

His own heartbeat? No, it wasn't that specific, but rather a vibration that felt very familiar to Haschwalth.

It's language!

Although it was very faint and mixed with the sound of a heartbeat, it was undoubtedly His Yhwach Yhwach's voice!

"A hallucination? No, that's impossible! It's Your Majesty, you must have woken up by now!"

It's highly unlikely that a powerhouse of Haschwalth's level would experience auditory or visual hallucinations, especially since it was a tremor originating from the depths of his soul. Even Illusionary Arts attack couldn't possibly cause Haschwalth to have a similar sensation.

But this is unbelievable... I thought it would take at least ten or a hundred years... Did he regain consciousness so quickly?

"Your Majesty, could it be that you really... um!"

The blond youth took a deep breath, his soul excited by a long-lost calling, but his reason forced him to calm down.

First of all, we cannot conclude that Yhwach has fully awakened based on this feeling.

The King of the Quincy may appear human, but he is actually a different life form. For Yhwach, the concepts of sleep and awakening are different from those of ordinary people.

He may be able to clearly convey his meaning and communicate normally with people, but that doesn't mean he has woken up from the dream.

Only when the body and will are completely synchronized, and the great power that shakes the Three Worlds is regained, can Yhwach be considered truly resurrected!

Moreover, even if they were to make contact with Yhwach now, it probably wouldn't change the current situation; the Wandenreich's attempt to launch a counterattack against Soul Society would still be impossible.

Despite their claim of hiding in the shadows of Seireitei, they are actually just a bunch of rats struggling to survive in the cracks. Once they are discovered by the Thirteen Court Guard Squads, especially by Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, the Shinigami will surely concentrate all their forces and spare no effort to eliminate them!

For Quincy nowadays, one wrong step could lead to utter ruin!

The Quincy's only hope is, as prophesied, to wait for Yhwach to reclaim his power and lead them to "take back the world" once again!

—Haschwalth felt a surge of tension.

Whether Yhwach wakes up or remains asleep is not really a problem. The real concern is that his consciousness might be in a state of confusion, issuing orders haphazardly. Although he used to be a calm and wise Lord, who knows if his personality will undergo a huge change after sleeping for Little Ichi thousand years.

If he himself is still weakened, yet he is already eager to launch a counterattack against Soul Society...

Even so, Haschwalth would obey, but the Quincy clan would suffer greatly!

With a heart full of trepidation, Haschwalth, his face the Unassailable, carefully opened the coffin—

The pupils suddenly contracted!

They've disappeared!

Yhwach's body is still there, but the strange baby that had previously parasitized it has disappeared!

[Haschwalth...]

"His Majesty?!"

The blond man suddenly looked up, and then realized that the voice calling him was not coming from the coffin. After sensing for a moment, he stood up incredulously and looked outside the Royal Hall.

"Could it be..."

The Flying Swallow Legs was incredibly fast, flashing around almost instantaneously. Haschwalth quickly followed his intuition and arrived at the opponent's location.

Looking at that person's figure from afar, even though it was just a silhouette, the "connection" that could inspire genuine admiration was unmistakable.

The person before us, regardless of how he appears, is without a doubt Yhwach!

"Your Majesty, welcome back."

The blond youth threw off his cloak, knelt on one knee, placed one hand on his chest and the other on his fist, and spoke with utmost respect to the figure behind him.

"Your subject, Uryū Ishida Haschwalth, has been waiting here for quite some time."

"Have you come to greet me, Haschwalth?"

It was a relatively young voice, and the tone was slightly different from Yhwach's, seemingly with a hint of teasing and playfulness...

"Um?"

The blond youth looked up, and the other person turned around, revealing a face that was both very familiar to Haschwalth and somewhat unfamiliar.

His eyes widened, filled with confusion and shock. "Why... Your Majesty, your face?"

"Yes, you have never seen what I looked like when I was young."

The black-haired, red-eyed boy smiled slightly. Although he was not as tall and strong Haschwalth, the way he looked at the blond handsome man was like a father looking at his son with loving eyes.

This is Yhwach... but unlike a thousand years ago, he now looks only fifteen or sixteen years old. His slightly immature appearance is still very handsome, no less than that of the prince-like Haschwalth.

"Don't be surprised. No matter how your bodies change, my soul will always be with you."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Haschwalth nodded in agreement, but a thousand thoughts raced through his mind.

That hand... was it really the Soul King's arm that caused all of this?

Did they use the Spirit King's Hand to create a new body and transfer their consciousness to it?

But what's the point of doing this?

"You seem to have some doubts, Haschwalth."

Yhwach smiled and said, "Are you uneasy because things are different from what was predicted?"

His voice was much gentler than when he was an adult, and his expression was much calmer, giving him an Ethereal State that transcended worldly affairs.

The image of Young Yhwach, compared to his later bearded manhood, is probably more in line with the common people's imagination of "god" and "king".

"I feel a little uneasy, but I believe His Majesty would not have woken up prematurely for no reason. With your extraordinary wisdom, there must be a reason why he had to do so."

"You are as excellent as ever. Yes, I do have something to do... For the past eight hundred years, I have been having a recurring nightmare—in a world without any hope, with no way to go back or forward."

However, the situation has changed now. Among thousands, tens of thousands of possibilities, a special existence has finally emerged that allows me to break free from my constraints.

—Therefore, I was born into this world prematurely, thanks to the power of my pitiful father.

Yhwach stroked Haschwalth's head, and a blue Reishi light shone in his palm. Spiritual patterns, like integrated circuits, spread across Haschwalth's face.

"No need to worry, no need to think, no need to be afraid, just follow me as always!"

"Yes!"

He was granted new power... As the Reishi flowed through his veins, familiar sensations returned to his body, and the "Vandenreich Letter" engraved in his soul glowed softly. Haschwalth had no more doubts!

"Your Majesty, should we inform others of your awakening?"

"Not for now. I need to get used to this body. Although I have been watching all the changes over the past hundred years, I can't accumulate the corresponding experience if I don't experience it myself."

Yhwach raised his hand, slowly turned around, looked up at the illusory sky of the [Wandenreich], and a faint, mocking smile appeared on his lips.

It was undeniably tragic for him to have fallen to such a state, but far from being saddened, he was even more spirited, displaying a vigorous and enterprising attitude.

Because in his view, he had finally found what he had been missing all along!

Yhwach possesses eyes that can see through everything, the only one he cannot see through is the Soul King, and it was precisely because of this that he was tricked by Hyōsube last time and lost to Yamamoto.

But this time in his dream, he saw a very special being, whose existence was elusive and impossible to observe, and whose "future" was beyond comprehension...

Even the results observed in the "past" were completely "forgotten" by Yhwach, who couldn't recall them at all.

Yhwach did not believe it was a coincidence; his encounter with the other person was destined to have a huge impact on the world!

This person's existence, or rather, his power... might just be the key to breaking free from constraints and reversing fate!

Chapter 435 I'm such a good younger brother!

The Spirit King's Left Hand, which governs "advancement," is the essence of that strange infant and the power that now constitutes Yhwach's body.

It took less than a month for him to grow from an infant to a teenager, and he perfectly matched Yhwach's consciousness, as if he had been reincarnated.

However, the original body is still asleep, but before it fully awakens, it has another body... This should perhaps be called an "avatar".

Compared to his true form, the power of the Spirit King's Left Hand is naturally weaker, or rather, Yhwach cannot "digest" it and can only use it in a limited way. But that's enough, after all, he never thought he could conquer the Three Worlds with just his left hand; there are still many things to prepare before that.

Clang!

The bell standing atop the central high ground of the Wandenreich was rung.

This is a signal that all officers must arrive at the Royal Hall on time for the meeting, which is the summons of the Sternritter. Theoretically, Haschwalth does have this authority, but he rarely does so, since there aren't that many urgent matters in this Wandenreich.

"What is Haschwalth doing?"

Some grumbled and cursed, but dared not delay. They immediately donned their Knights uniforms, donned the badges corresponding to their ranks, and hurried to the most magnificent palace in the city center.

Royal Hall!

All knights and officers of all ranks who met the requirements for being summoned arrived on time, totaling about thirty people, who are currently the backbone of the Quincy clan.

Frankly, these people are quite capable, but neither their numbers nor their quality can compare to the elite forces Yhwach previously assembled. The main problem is the scarcity of high-end combat power; since Yhwach's "death," no new Vandenreich Letter have been created for a long time.

Considering the Quincy clan's current predicament, the fact that they could muster so many fighters, at least equivalent to Thirteenth Division Vice-Captain, is quite impressive. They also have four or five Captain-level. While they may not be on par with the Seireitei, they are certainly not to be underestimated.

"Do you know why Haschwalth summoned us this time?"

Generally speaking, a meeting only needs to call a few people, so why make such a big fuss and use special signals to call so many people over?

Haschwalth isn't trying to do a headcount, is he?

"Who knows... but he has to give us an explanation."

After a moment, the doors of the Royal Hall slowly opened, and the crowd began to enter the spacious hall one after another. However, they were stunned as soon as they entered.

A straight path to the audience, towering white steps, a throne at the top, and Haschwalth standing beside the throne.

This was a scene they had seen at every meeting over the past few centuries, a sight they were quite accustomed to, but now it captivated them, causing their pupils to shrink to a single dot, clearly a sign of utter shock.

"What... he..."

What's going on?

"Someone is actually... sitting on the throne?!"

"Who is that? Who was put on the throne by Haschwalth?!"

The crowd was puzzled and angry, but after seeing the man's appearance clearly, they were plunged into deep confusion:

This face... Could it be... No way?

"Your Majesty, you've finally returned."
