"Leave this sort of thing to an old fossil like me. Don't worry, I've still got plenty of Reiatsu. Even if I only use half of it, it should last at least eight hundred to a thousand years. I'll leave defeating Yhwach to you during that time," Yamabuki Chidori said with a smile.
Gin Ichimaru quipped, "Then why not just become the Soul King yourself?"
"Don't be ridiculous. I'm retiring after this battle. Only an idiot would become the Soul King." Yamabuki Chidori sounded smug.
Once this battle was over, it would be exactly one thousand years.
