On the contrary, with his Zanpakuto and Hollow abilities sealed, continuing this fight would be extremely disadvantageous for him.

"Angel are merciful, so I will not kill you. I will take your limbs and let you live to see His Majesty." Gabriel revealed a benevolent smile, and his body moved at high speed again.

Using the same method, a movement method that Yamabuki Chidori couldn't understand at all, Gabriel reappeared in front of Yamabuki Chidori again, waving his arm once more.

Chapter 273: A World Where Only the Truth Can Be Spoken

"Six-Foot Light Prison!"

The six light blades instantly froze Gabriel's body, causing Gabriel movements to slow down slightly. Taking advantage of this brief moment, Yamabuki Chidori quickly retreated, avoiding Gabriel's attack range.

The Six-Foot Light Prison only trapped Him for a brief moment; soon, the light blades on Gabriel's body were easily crushed by Him.

Yamabuki Chidori was frightened.

Gabriel's speed was unusually fast.

There are currently three known methods of rapid movement: the Shinigami's Flash Step, the Sound Steps, and the Quincy's Hirenkyaku.

Of course, Spatial Movement and similar things are separate.

Although all three footwork techniques enable high-speed movement, their underlying principles differ.

Flash Step is an instantaneous acceleration, Sound Steps is a short-distance spatial jump, and Hirenkyaku is an acceleration using the power of Reishi.

Gabriel's movement method is completely different from the three mentioned above; it's as if he can appear out of thin air at any point.

It's neither a time-manipulation ability nor Space Ability, but a completely unknown power.

If I had to use just one word to describe it...

Descent.

Only this word can describe it.

It's as if a higher-dimensional being suddenly Descent into this dimension.

I learned in Yamabuki Chidori that although ants are three-dimensional creatures, their perception is two-dimensional. That is to say, ants can only sense length and width, but not height.

Even if there is a wall in front of it, the ant will later think that it is just flat ground.

If a human places a piece of food in front of an ant, the ant will not know where the food came from; it will think that the food appeared out of thin air. If the human takes the food away, the ant will also think that the food disappeared out of thin air.

Thinking of this, Yamabuki Chidori turned green.

If the opponent's ability truly is dimensional control, what's the point of fighting? Just surrender.

The thought of "dimensional reduction attacks" described in some science fiction novels sends Yamabuki Chidori's spine.

"It seems you've come to understand the difference in strength between us," Gabriel said calmly, a smile always on his face, as if nothing in the world could provoke him.

With no other option, Yamabuki Chidori could only create distance, hoping to find Gabriel's weakness, but in the next instant, Gabriel's voice could appear directly behind him.

"I already told you you can't escape. I advise you to obediently come back with me. I'm a very kind person, and I really don't want to see bloodshed unless absolutely necessary." Gabriel said, waving his hand gently.

Gabriel's speed was so fast that it couldn't be described simply as "speed".

As described before, this is Descent.

They instantly Descent from a higher dimension to a certain area.

It transcends the boundaries of time and space.

Even in Yamabuki Chidori's eyes, this person appeared here suddenly, without any warning or any way of predicting it.

Gabriel's hand grew larger and larger in front of Yamabuki Chidori.

If this hand touches Yamabuki Chidori's head, his head will explode like a rotten watermelon.

Suddenly, eight wings of light unfurled behind Yamabuki Chidori, instantly entering a state of Perfect Sanctification. Her reaction time and speed increased once again, narrowly dodging Gabriel's attack.

"Hmm? This is the power you wield? It feels... much stronger than ours?" Gabriel said, frowning.

Indeed, the Perfect Sanctification is the ultimate form of Quincy.

Theoretically speaking, he is indeed stronger than all the Quincy currently in existence, but Yamabuki Chidori has never been able to figure out what Gabriel's abilities are, and can only observe from afar.

At the same time, Yamabuki Chidori created an extremely powerful Spirit Bow, firing dozens of Reishi Arrow simultaneously.

Hoping to force the enemy back, Gabriel used his wings as a shield, easily blocking all attacks. His wings seemed indestructible; any attack that touched them would vanish without a trace.

Yamabuki Chidori felt the situation was becoming increasingly difficult. If his Shinigami and Hollow abilities hadn't been sealed, he might still have a fighting chance. But now, with two-thirds of his power sealed, he was unable to launch any effective attacks.

"Is it possible that only Fullbring can subdue these two?" Yamabuki Chidori has been constantly improving her strength over the past six months, and her Reiatsu is much stronger than it was six months ago, but she still has no clue how to train in Fullbring.

After numerous trials, it was found that the ability of Yamabuki Chidori to create the world can only be used three times a day. Once this number is exceeded, no amount of stimulation will work.

At the same time, he wanted to prevent Yhwach from Descent, and he always wanted to reserve all three opportunities for Yhwach.

This time, Alice did not prohibit the Quincy's abilities, since both she and Gabriel are Extinction Master once the law takes effect.

"You can actually display such a completely new form? His Majesty will be even more pleased when he sees this form, which will make me even more determined to capture you alive." Gabriel walked over step by step with a smile on his face.

Yamabuki Chidori retreated step by step, her expression very serious.

"I've heard you also possess a very strange ability—the ability to create a miniature world. Use those abilities now. I'll make you admit defeat." Gabriel said.

War is all about intelligence.

It's understandable that someone would study your abilities since you've leaked your information multiple times before.

If you knew what Gabriel's true abilities were, you would definitely be able to figure out a way to deal with him.

"Since you've put it that way, I feel bad not using this ability," Yamabuki Chidori sneered.

"Alice, step back, don't get involved with his abilities," Gabriel said calmly.

Alice had no choice but to retreat temporarily, providing a fighting ground for the two of them.

Yamabuki Chidori lightly touched the ground with her toes.

"Genesis."

In an instant, a Small World with a diameter of over one thousand meters appeared. The messy rules that Alice had previously attached were completely erased. This world was created by Yamabuki Chidori, and only he could attach rules to it, although he could only attach one.

"In this world, everyone must speak the truth and answer every question." Yamabuki Chidori did not choose to directly prohibit the use of superpowers.

Once rules are established, they are two-way; even the Yamabuki Chidori will be forcibly restricted by the rules.

Without any ability to fight hand-to-hand, Yamabuki Chidori wasn't confident she could defeat this monster.

"That's certainly an interesting ability. Once the rules are set, they can't be broken by force alone! So, what question do you want to ask me?" Gabriel asked with a smile.

Yamabuki Chidori finally asked the question that had been on her mind for so long, "Are you a man or a woman?"

Chapter 274: The Soul King's Liver

Gabriel was prepared to answer all questions, but he never expected that Yamabuki Chidori would ask such a bizarre question.

"Um... is that important? It has nothing to do with the battle," Gabriel said.

"Of course it's related, it will affect my next tactics," Yamabuki Chidori said stubbornly.

Gabriel looked bitter. "Angel don't have the concept of gender, but if you insist on assigning me a gender, my current personality leans more towards femininity."

As expected, the Angel recorded in the Bible are genderless, except for Gabriel. The text subtly suggests that Gabriel's gender is likely that of a girl.

"Now it's my turn to ask questions," Gabriel chuckled. "What exactly is the power of your Zanpakuto?"

Yamabuki Chidori's expression turned very strange.

Once the rules are established, even if he created this world, he must abide by them.

His mind resisted, but his mouth couldn't help but say, "Shikai is about controlling space, Bankai is about controlling time."

Blanch!

A hint of seriousness flashed in Gabriel's eyes. A Zanpakuto that controls time? Thankfully, Alice sealed Yamabuki Chidori's Zanpakuto during the previous battle. Even with her abilities, it would be extremely difficult to deal with an enemy who can control time.

"Since we can't lie in this world, let's make a gentleman's agreement: each of us will ask one question, and we'll continue until this world collapses," Gabriel said.

"Are you a higher-dimensional being or not?" Yamabuki Chidori asked.

In fact, Yamabuki Chidori could sense that Gabriel's body was indeed different from that of ordinary people, but he should not be a high-dimensional being as legend has it.

Even Yhwach awakened to be All-Knowing All-Powerful, was still a mortal being, capable of being killed with a large blade. Yhwach was merely endowed with the power of Schrift by Gabriel, and theoretically, it was impossible for him to surpass Yhwach himself.

"How do I answer that question? My dimension is indeed higher than that of ordinary people, but only by half. It's like having one foot in Heaven and one foot on World of the Living," Gabriel said.

What kind of answer is this? Yamabuki Chidori frowned.

Before he could ask another question, Gabriel countered, "What was the Quincy power you displayed earlier? Why have I never seen it before?"

Yamabuki Chidori wanted to sew his mouth shut, but he couldn't. He had set the rules himself, and under the influence of the world's rules, he could only tell the truth, "That's the Perfect Sanctification, the final form of Quincy. In this form, the Quincy's power will experience an explosive increase."

"I see!" Gabriel nodded thoughtfully.

"What exactly is your Schrift ability?" Yamabuki Chidori realized that three minutes had passed. This world could only last for two minutes; after two minutes, this Small World would collapse.

He had to revive this world two minutes in advance, otherwise all matter in this world would be annihilated, including him, the one who created it.

"My Schrift is T, the Angel. It holds the power to destroy everything." Gabriel didn't really want to reveal his information, but under the coercion of the world's rules, he had no choice but to tell his true information.

"Holy crap! So that's how it is!" Yamabuki Chidori had always guessed that Gabriel's power might be related to dimensional reduction, but now it seems that he was completely wrong. Gabriel is indeed half a dimension higher than ordinary Shinigami and Quincy, but this half dimension is not high enough to ignore everything.

The reason He was able to destroy His own arm so easily was because of the power of destruction bestowed upon Him by the Schrift.

Gabriel was able to block all the Cero attacks so easily because as soon as his body touched the Cero, he used his Schrift power to destroy Cero in advance, so they naturally did not cause him any harm.

After the truth came out, Yamabuki Chidori gasped in shock. How could anyone fight against such an ability?

If his Zanpakuto had not been sealed, he could have used the power of time and space to contend with it. However, as soon as he left this Small World, Alice's rules would take effect, and the Hollow Power would be sealed.

Annoying.

"One last question. Are you the strongest among the Grim Reapers?" Gabriel asked.

"No, the strongest fighter is Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, the Captain Commander of the Gotei 13." Yamabuki Chidori was forced to reveal this important information again.

There were only thirty seconds left.

Yamabuki Chidori asked a crucial question.

"How did you obtain such formidable power?" Yamabuki Chidori asked.

Schrift Zanpakuto are similar guiding tools that can bring out a person's inner power.

Gabriel is so powerful because he possesses this potential.

Gabriel wore a very mysterious expression. "Because there is something within me that contains very powerful energy. I once asked His Majesty about it, and His Majesty told me that what's inside me is called the Soul King's Liver."

Yamabuki Chidori's pupils contracted instantly.

No wonder! No wonder!

No wonder Gabriel was able to awaken such powerful strength; he actually has the Soul King's Liver inside him.

"I can sense a similar power within you. If you become a Quincy, we might become good friends," Gabriel said.

When Yamabuki Chidori looked at Gabriel again, her expression had changed. Before, it was worry and fear, but now it was greed. Yamabuki Chidori looked at a huge piece of fat meat and wished she could swallow it whole.

He had previously seen the Soul King's Right Arm in the shrine of Rukongai, but the power contained in that right arm was already very little, so Yamabuki Chidori hadn't bothered with it. But now it was different; a living, breathing tonic was right in front of him, so why not take it?

The two managed to extract the information they wanted from each other, and the countdown to the annihilation of the Small World had begun.

Yamabuki Chidori disbanded her Small World ahead of schedule.

The two of them returned to reality at the same time.

When Yamabuki Chidori was in the Small World, she had already repaired her right arm.

Now that the enemy's capabilities had been exposed, he began to devise a countermeasure.

"There's no other way! I have to use my best skills!" Yamabuki Chidori said calmly.

Gabriel's expression turned very serious. He had a preliminary understanding of Yamabuki Chidori's strength, and if two of his abilities hadn't been sealed, it would have been extremely difficult for him to defeat him.

Does he still have some trump card up his sleeve?

Yamabuki Chidori stretched out her hands and used her most proficient Kidō: "Sekienton."

Instantly, the entire venue was enveloped in red smoke.
