Central 46 Is in Danger / Apollo

Yamabuki Chidori was actually unsure herself.

After all, the Soul King had previously predicted that he would die at the hands of Yhwach. The safest approach would have been to wait for the Captain Commander to clear out all the minions, then reunite with Captain Commander and together they would defeat Yhwach.

"Don't worry, I might not be able to beat him in terms of strength, but I can hold out for three to five minutes. The Captain Commander will come to save me then." Yamabuki Chidori gently rubbed Hane Hane Chiyo's head. "The biggest problem now is, will you succeed?"

"Let's give it a try!" Hane Hane Chiyo, unlike her usual unreliable self, displayed more fearlessness and composure on her face.

Now that her entire family is dead, and she's the only one left in the clan, it doesn't really matter whether she lives or dies.

Even the most difficult person to persuade has been persuaded; now, all that's left is to quietly wait for them to make their move.

The Wandenreich.

Yhwach, eager to create his ideal world, was unwilling to wait even a moment longer.

He has awakened to All-Knowing All-Powerful and omnipotent invincible power, and believes that no one in the Three Realms is his match.

If he wouldn't have dared to force his way into Soul Society before awakening his All-Knowing All-Powerful, now he doesn't take anyone seriously.

He has waited many, many years for this moment, but that doesn't mean he can wait even a minute longer.

Moreover, he didn't have any useful battle plan. It was simple: just lead everyone and charge straight in, wouldn't that work?

Back in Europe, he led his men in the same way, wreaking havoc without ever having a battle plan.

As for the specific details, he directly entrusted them to his subordinate Mardon.

Mardon, steeling himself, approached Yhwach to discuss resurrecting his sister.

"Your Majesty... all the troops are ready. When shall we depart? Also... Wolian is quite powerful. If we could revive her..." Mardon was interrupted by his boss before he could finish speaking.

"You don't need to say anything, I know what you want to say. To resurrect your loved ones, right? But what I want to tell you is that my goal is to create a world without the fear of life and death. At that moment, there will be no longer any boundaries between life and death, and your deceased sister will naturally be resurrected." Yhwach knew how to make grand promises.

Although he didn't care about Mardon as a person, Mardon was now the Grand Master of the Sternritter, the most powerful person besides him, so he would give him some incentives to work hard for him.

Mardon was overjoyed to hear that his sister could return.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! I will never forget your great kindness!" Mardon said happily. "I have prepared the battle plan. Would Your Majesty like to take a look at it in the conference room?"

"No need, you can handle these things. I trust you." Yhwach didn't want to worry about these things; why bother with brains when you can crush things with force?

Aizen might have thought the same thing after the Hogyoku. That's why, after gaining immense power, Aizen started acting like an idiot until Kurosaki Ichigo broke through his defenses and he finally came to his senses.

"By the way, you mentioned a young man named Yamabuki Chidori earlier? I'm very interested in him. Get all his information." Yhwach said.

Before falling into slumber, Yhwach's ability to foresee the future was incomplete; he could only see fragments. However, none of these fragments concerned the boy "Yamabuki Chidori".

Could it be that my All-Knowing All-Powerful have a flaw?

Or did this boy suddenly appear in this world?

Yhwach wanted to meet this unexpected person in person.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will send his information over immediately, please wait a moment!" Mardon was full of energy after being fed a big meal, and immediately sent over the information on Yamabuki Chidori.

Chapter 254: Central 46, Danger

While Yhwach was reading the documents, Mardon summoned the Sternritter and other Quincy to the conference room for a strategic meeting.

For an absolutely powerful being, no amount of trickery or schemes will work, but the Sternritter's power is not yet "absolute," so a plan is still necessary.

Mardon opened a map, and on the map was Seireitei.

"Look here." Mardon pointed to the very center of the map. "There's a building here called the Central 46. It's been the control center of Soul Society for millions of years, where all the command levels are concentrated. If we can take the Central 46 ahead of time, we'll gain the upper hand, disrupting the enemy's plans and boosting morale. So I'll send First Squad elite soldiers to open the Shadow Realm right next to the Central 46 and launch a surprise attack."

"Based on Your Majesty's understanding of Soul Society, although the Central 46 is the core of power in the entire Soul Society, those old fogies are arrogant and conceited, and each one is extremely weak. They never use powerful armed forces because they fear those forces will betray them. Therefore, the enemy's brain, the Central 46, will have extremely weak defenses. Conservatively speaking, two members of the Sternritter can finish the battle in fifteen minutes," Mardon said with a very confident tone.

"Furthermore, the second most important place is the East District of Seireitei. Most of the Gotei 13 are concentrated in the East District, making it the key area of our attack. I will deploy a large number of troops to try to capture the East District Seireitei as quickly as possible. At the same time, I will also send a large number of troops to occupy the other three regions. Don't underestimate the nobles of Soul Society; their combat strength is very high."

"The other thing is the decapitation operation. There are two leaders in the Gotei 13: one is Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, who is known as the Captain Commander, and the other is Yamabuki Chidori, who is known as the Chief Strategist. We have all witnessed Yamabuki Chidori's abilities, which should be related to space. I plan to send two members of my Sternritter to carry out the decapitation operation against him. Alice, do you have any objections?" Mardon looked at Alice.

At the same time, everyone's eyes were focused on Alice, because Alice's attire was so out of place. Everyone else was wearing smart white uniforms, but Alice was wearing three or four layers of cotton clothes and a big hat on her head, with only her eyes showing. It looked like she would freeze to death if she wore one less layer.

Moreover, they are currently underground in Hueco Mundo, which is already extremely hot and stuffy, and this outfit makes one feel dizzy just looking at it.

"No problem! I'm going to redeem myself this time! But who should I send as my partner?" Alice asked, raising her hand.

She was also wearing three layers of gloves.

Ever since her last encounter with Yamabuki Chidori, she has become extremely sensitive to the cold. This coldness is not physical; rather, she believes the world is inherently cold and that she must always be prepared to stay warm. As a result, this member of the elite Sternritter has turned into a cotton ball.

Mardon looked at the remaining three Sternritter members, hesitated slightly, and said, "Gabriel, you'll be in charge of teaming up with Alice, is that alright?"

A woman of androgynous beauty emerged from the crowd.

Her hair, as golden as gold, cascaded over her shoulders; her face was exquisitely beautiful, almost divine. Although she wore a magnificent long dress, her body lines were more masculine, without any superfluous curves.

When He opened His mouth, His voice also possessed certain grammatical qualities, making it difficult to discern His gender.

"No problem, leave it to me."

"In that case, everyone, prepare to attack!" With a command from Mardon, the Shadow Realm was activated, and the Wandenreich launched a full-scale attack.

Yhwach did not charge ahead, but quietly watched his men charge into battle.

There is no such thing as absolute invincibility in this world; even All-Knowing All-Powerful beings have their weaknesses.

Yhwach planned to have his subordinates scout ahead to ensure that no one on the enemy's side posed a threat before making his move. Of course, if these subordinates died, their souls would be devoured and become part of his power.

This deal is a sure thing, no matter how you look at it.

Soul Society.

Central 46.

"I already said I don't need you. Get out of here immediately!" The Great Sage of the Central 46 roared at Shunshun Shidō and Katoru Hatsunoya before him. "The Central 46 has sufficient troops to protect its own safety."

Looking at the noble disciples wielding six-foot iron clubs, Shunshun Shidō felt a headache coming on.

You expect these spoiled brats to protect your safety?

Are you still half asleep?

The Soul Society is about to face a once-in-a-millennium war, not some minor skirmish. Do you really think your laughable power can save you from death?

Katoru Hatsunoya stood silently to the side, a sword in his hand, unsure whether or not to obey the orders of these Sage...

Are you kidding me?

If you want to whine, then whine in my ear. Whether I listen or not is up to me!

And you think we're here to protect your safety?

Actually, we came here to fish, and the bait is your Central 46.

The Central 46 didn't even believe that the Quincy would dare to launch a large-scale attack on Soul Society. In their eyes, the Quincy were just a bunch of greenhorns who wouldn't amount to anything, Soul Society could easily crush them.

The reason why the Gotei 13 is making such a big fuss is definitely to seize power and take it away from the Central 46.

Although members of the Gotei 13 are tried by the Gotei 13 themselves after committing crimes, nobles and commoners who are not members of the Gotei 13 are still judged by the Central 46, which is a considerable power in a sense.

The Central 46 was naturally unwilling to relinquish this power, and in order to preserve it, they had already abandoned all pretense of shame.

As the head of the Shihōin Clan, Shunshun Shidō had said all the nice things he could, but the Central 46 46 simply didn't believe that this war would threaten them.

"Ignore them, let's just carry out our mission," said Katoru Hatsunoya calmly, treating these outdated things as if they were nothing.

"Then get out of here right now! Get out, get out! The Central 46 is none of your business to protect."

Of course, given Yamabuki Chidori's previous attitude towards the Central 46, these Old Man were probably terrified.

However, just as they were shouting, blue pillars of fire shot into the sky, and one by one, the Quincy emerged from the pillars of fire.

The war between the Shinigami and the Quincy has officially begun.

Chapter 255: Apollo

"Who are you? Do you know where you are? The Central 46! The highest authority in Soul Society! How dare you invade the Central 46 in this way? Do you know that this is a capital offense!" A Sage cursed at the Quincy who emerged from the pillar of fire.

Shunshun Shidō helplessly Hand Muff. Did these people even have brains?

A flash of blue light appeared, and the arrogant Sage was pierced through by the Quincy's Reishi Arrow and pinned to the wall behind him.

A deathly silence fell in an instant.

"Do you believe what I said now?" Shunshun Shidō asked with a sigh.

"Aaaaaaaahh...

The entire Central 46 was thrown into complete chaos!

The dozens of Sage and their subordinates were like countless headless flies, wandering aimlessly in all directions.

"The commander has ordered that the battle be resolved in fifteen minutes," a Quincy said in a completely emotionless voice. Instantly, countless Reishi Arrow flew towards the members of the Central 46.

In an instant, more than half of the Central 46 were killed or injured.

When assigning the mission, Yamabuki Chidori made it very clear that the Gotei 13's mission was to kill the enemy, and the Central 46 was to draw enemy fire. So no matter how badly these Old Man died, there was no need to protect them; just kill the enemy as quickly as possible.

"Throughout the four seas and eight wastelands, there is none I cannot cut down, Setsugetsumaru!" Katoru Hatsunoya unleashed his Zanpakuto and charged towards the Quincy. Wherever his giant axe passed, all the enemies were instantly cut in half at the waist.

"What? Such strong combat power? The intelligence was wrong!" The Quincy looked at Katoru Hatsunoya, who was wielding a giant axe and slaughtering everyone in his path, with a look of astonishment.

At the same time, the members of the 8th Division also followed their Captain in launching an attack without hesitation, engaging in a fierce battle with the Quincy.

The Quincy leader thought his surprise attack would be a decisive victory, but to his utter surprise, after a brief battle between the lower-ranking Quincy and the Shinigami, it was the Quincy were at a disadvantage!

"Reporting to the commander, we failed to penetrate the enemy's armor!"

The Quincy stared intently at the seemingly ordinary black clothes worn by the Shinigami. The clothes shimmered with a faint fluorescent light, which could indeed withstand the Quincy's attacks.

Most of the lower-ranking Quincy are archers with relatively weak melee abilities, while Shinigami are proficient in Flash Step and are more like assassins. They are natural enemies. If you can't kill me with one arrow, I'll just rush to your side and chop you up with one slash!

Under the protection of the Shinigami Uniform, the battle among the lower-ranking personnel surprisingly turned into a one-sided affair.

"How is this possible? How could the Grim Reaper's combat power increase so much in just half a year?" The Quincy's face turned extremely ugly. He originally thought he was going to beat up a weakling, but he didn't expect to be beaten up by someone else.

He hurriedly stretched out his hand, and a Spirit Bow appeared in his palm. Instantly, it shone brightly, and a huge blue Holy Spirit Arrow burst forth from his palm, piercing directly through the four Death Gods.

He then fired several more Holy Spirit Arrow, killing at least one Death God on the spot.

Seeing that their superior had taken action, the Quincy's morale finally recovered a little.

Just as the Quincy was preparing to wreak havoc, a black figure appeared in front of him. The Quincy commander hurriedly fired the Holy Spirit Arrow, but to his utter surprise, the black figure in front of him simply deflected his attack with its fist.

With a single punch, the Holy Spirit Arrow exploded!

"I can't just stand by and watch you slaughter my team members! State your name!" Shunshun Shidō smiled as he looked at the enemy before him, but his smile was mixed with endless killing intent. His fists and legs were covered with bits of flesh from his enemies, indicating that he had already killed quite a few people before this.

The Quincy said coldly, "I am a member of the Sternritter, Schrift N. You can call me Apollo."

"Second Division Captain of the Gotei 13, Shunshun Shidō." Shunshun Shidō also readily gave his name.

With a flick of his wrist, the Quincy unleashed a massive beam of blue light that shot straight toward Shunshun Shidō's face.

After practicing for some time, Shunshun Shidō has become very proficient in using Shunkō, and with a single punch, he shattered the blue light.

"I heard that the members of the Sternritter are all high-ranking members of the Wandenreich. I never thought I'd win such a big prize." Shunshun Shidō calmly looked at Apollo in front of him.

Although he had adopted a name from Ancient Greece mythology, the person in front of him was a Europe through and through.

Shunshun Shidō's Flash Step is unparalleled; his speed is so fast that few in the entire Seireitei can match it. The moment his feet touched the ground, he appeared behind Apollo like a whirlwind and kicked Apollo directly in the back of the head.

But Apollo didn't even turn around. It was as if he had eyes in the back of his head. He grabbed Shunshun Shidō's ankle with his backhand, and with a slight flick of his wrist, he threw Shunshun Shidō away.

Shunshun Shidō was slightly startled. He quickly adjusted his posture in mid-air and landed on all fours like a hunting leopard. As soon as he landed to observe the enemy, he was surprised to find that the enemy had already disappeared from the spot.

"If all the Captain of the Gotei 13 are like you, then I'm truly disappointed. Bye bye!" Apollo had appeared above Shunshun Shidō's head without anyone noticing, holding an oversized Spirit Bow, and shot a shot at Shunshun Shidō's skull.

Instantly, a massive explosion occurred in Central 46.

Many Shinigami and Quincy were attempting the challenge were blown away by the shockwave.

Apollo landed gently on the ground, holding the Spirit Bow in his hand with great elegance.

"It seems that even among the Captain of the Gotei 13, there are differences in strength. But it looks like after I've cleared out the Shinigami here, I'll go straight to Yamabuki Chidori or Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto! His Majesty will be very happy if I can take their heads!" Apollo closed his eyes, immersed in a sweet dream.

"Yes! Even among members of the Sternritter, there are differences in strength. I heard from the Chief Strategist that you have an organization called the Sternritter? Are you a member of the Sternritter?"

A slightly playful voice came from behind Apollo. Apollo's expression changed and he hurriedly turned around, only to find Shunshun Shidō standing there unharmed, staring at him with a smile. Shunshun Shidō was playing with something in her hand. Apollo looked closely and his expression became even more unpleasant. He hurriedly reached for his neck and found that his necklace was gone.
