Yhwach Absorbs the Soul King
"Ichigo Kurosaki, do you know how you got here?"
Yhwach smiled as he said this, "Everything you did was under my watchful eye. I deleted the future that would have prevented you from reaching this place, which allowed you to successfully arrive."
"Because only someone who possesses the powers of Soul Reaper, a Hollow, Quincy, and Fullbring can destroy this crystal!"
"So, Ichigo Kurosaki, let's do it!"
Click...!
The jet-black Zangetsu blade crashed down, striking precisely the crystal that sealed the Soul King.
The sharp blade pierced the crystal instantly and became embedded within it.
"No...!"
With bloodshot eyes, Ichigo Kurosaki screamed and struggled hysterically, desperately trying to regain control of his body.
But his struggles were futile; he could only watch helplessly as he took the first step in destroying the entire star system.
The blade continued to penetrate deeper, tearing apart the crystal barrier.
Click...!
The Zangetsu pierced through all obstacles, shattering the final barrier.
Click...!
The Soul King Crystal shattered with a crash, and half of the Soul King's body fell straight down, crashing onto the pristine white ground.
"Very good, excellent!"
Yhwach looked satisfied as he slowly walked to the remains of the Soul King, his gaze indifferent as he looked down at the being who had sustained the Three Realms with his body.
"Father, let me relieve your suffering!"
"Yhwach, what exactly do you want to do!" Ichigo gritted teeth, his eyes filled with grief, anger, and resentment.
Yhwach slowly raised his eyes, his gaze devoid of any emotion.
"This world, maintained by the Soul King, is fundamentally twisted, sinful, and flawed. I will utterly destroy this corrupt old world and then reshape a new one!"
"So, Father, give me your strength!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yhwach activated his innate ability and began to absorb the Soul King's power.
The vast and boundless energy within the remnants of the Soul King began to flow into Yhwach's body.
Just as Yhwach was fully absorbing the Soul King's power and unable to concentrate on controlling the Quincy power within Ichigo's body, Ichigo regained control of his body.
Yhwach!
"Getsuga Tenshō!"
An extreme roar echoed throughout the Soul King Palace!
Ichigo wielded Zangetsu, channeling all his spiritual power, and slashed towards Yhwach!
At this moment, Yhwach was absorbing the Soul King's power and was completely unprepared.
"A great opportunity!"
At that moment, everyone gazing at the Sky Curtain felt a sudden tightness in their chests, and countless people clenched their fists in secret, filled with anxiety.
You have to hit him! You must stop him!
Yhwach is far more terrifying than any Demon God that has appeared before.
Before he had even absorbed the Soul King's power, the others were already powerless to resist; once he completely devoured the Soul King...
Putting aside what he's going to do, the entire star field will collapse if the Soul King is no longer there to hold it together, and these people will certainly not be able to escape it!
Gu Yue and Nana exchanged a glance, then looked at Su He beside them, their voices filled with deep solemnity and unease.
"Su He, what should we do? Given the current situation, even before Yhwach absorbed the Soul King, they couldn't defeat them. After absorbing him, they'll be even less likely to win, right?"
"We've only just gotten together, are we really going to...!"
Seeing the worried expressions on their faces, Su He felt somewhat uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine."
"Why? You think you can beat Yhwach? Why don't you just make a move?"
"I'm sure I can beat Yhwach, but that might cause an even bigger crisis."
At this point, Su He's lips curled into a smile.
"I have two special items here, for women only, containing unimaginable power. Would you like to try them?"
Nana looked curious. "What is it?"
Su He spread his hands, displaying a brooch made entirely of gold and inlaid with pink and blue sapphires, and a magic wand made entirely of pure white and decorated with pink quartz flowers.
"What's this?"
"This is Sailor Guardian Transformation Device, and this is Magical Girl Transformation Device. After you transform using these two items, you will gain immense power."
Upon hearing the names of these two items, Gu Yue immediately sensed that something was amiss.
However, he still asked, "How do I use this?"
"It's very simple, just a simple incantation!"
A minute later, Gu Yue was the first to grip the Star Moon Brooch tightly, her clear, cool yet shy voice ringing out:
"Stars and moon, grant me power! By the glory of the moon and the vow of the stars, transform!"
Buzz--!
A sudden burst of dazzling starlight and moonlight enveloped her.
A beam of light, interwoven with shimmering white and gilded gold, shot into the sky, instantly shedding her long dress in place of an exquisite and dashing Star Moon Sailor Uniform.
At the same time, Nana held her Magic Wand high. Unlike Gu Yue, Nana showed no resistance; instead, she seemed eager to try, twirling the wand in her hand.
"Star magic contained within the staff, heed my call and unleash your power! Seal broken!"
Pink starlight rained down from the sky, and her simple, elegant long dress instantly transformed into a gorgeous and exquisite Magical Girl Battle Dress, with layers of skirts adorned with starlight and diamonds, and the magic wand in her hand sprouted a pair of wings.
Gu Yue looked at the girl's battle uniform she was wearing, and her usually cold and dignified face instantly turned crimson. She was both ashamed and angry, and turned to glare at Su He, who was calmly watching the show.
We'll settle this score with you tonight!
Su He touched the tip of his nose, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes, secretly thinking: Tonight? Just the two of you, are you sure you can beat me?
On the other side, the images on the Sky Curtain continued to rotate.
On the top floor of the Soul King Palace, Ichigo Kurosaki's Zangetsu was already close to Yhwach's back, the distance between them only a hair's breadth!
Just as the blade was about to touch Yhwach's body, a jet-black Spiritual Pressure suddenly erupted from within Yhwach's body.
Dark spiritual energy transformed into an invisible barrier, covering Yhwach's body.
Bite...!
The blade of the Zangetsu Blade struck down heavily, producing a clang of metal against metal, before it could advance even an inch further.
"Break it!!"
With Ichigo bulging with fury, Ichigo poured all his spiritual power into the blade and began to swing Zangetsu repeatedly. However, no matter how he attacked, he could not shake the barrier formed by the black Spiritual Pressure.
"Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"
Hinata, now recovered, unleashed an even stronger golden beam than before. The beam tore through the air once more, carrying terrifying power, and slammed into the black Spiritual Pressure barrier!
However, it still had no effect on it.
On the other side, Sōsuke Aizen's mangled body was reconstructed, and he began to chant in a deep voice.
"A faint, murky emblem reveals an untamed and arrogant talent."
"The surge, the denial, the numbness, the instant—all these hinder eternal sleep."
"Hado No. 90: Black Coffin!"
A massive, dark cube enveloped Yhwach.
Countless dark Reishi particles generated within the coffin, continuously and indiscriminately slashing at the target within the enclosed space.
The fully chanted version of the Black Coffin will also be accompanied by a gravitational current that distorts spacetime, crushing and shuffling the enemies inside.
Click--!!!
Suddenly, numerous cracks appeared on the surface of the black coffin, and in the next moment, it shattered into countless fragments.
Yhwach reappeared before them, and Yhwach appearance had changed drastically.
The originally messy black hair grew wildly, expanding several times in just a few breaths. The countless strands of hair floated in the air, wriggling, twisting, Entanglement, as if they had gained independent life, which was eerie and terrifying.
Under the horrified gazes of everyone, countless eyes of varying sizes opened one by one from his swollen hair.
Countless pupils flickered with light and shadow, cold, indifferent, and greedy, overlooking the entire world, as if they could see countless worlds, countless pasts and futures.
