Bankai! All Creation and All Beings / A 10,000-Word Reflection...

Everyone gathered in the Front Hall, waiting for the enemy to Descent.

Even if the enemy breaks through their defenses, His Majesty still has his Sternritter, which is the strongest force of the Sternritter.

Before the words were even finished, the main gate of the Front Hall was smashed open by a tremendous force, and fragments of the gate flew in all directions. The members of the Knight Front Hall scrambled to avoid being injured.

"It looks like we can see Yhwach if we fight our way through from here." A young man's voice came from the direction of the smoke and dust.

"Yeah! How about we make a huge scene?"

This was followed by the voice of a young girl.

The blond, handsome man had devised various countermeasures, even firing at the ambushes from all directions, but he never expected the enemy to attack directly from the front.

Are these two brainless?

Or is it that... we Quincy are being underestimated?

The next second, countless Reishi Arrow poured down like a torrential rain into the smoke and dust, raising even more dust.

"Cease the attack!" the blond, handsome man shouted sharply, sensing that something was amiss.

Suddenly, a girl pointed to the sky and shouted, "The enemy is right above us!"

Everyone looked up and saw a man and a woman smiling at them.

The girl was holding a large megaphone and frantically inhaling.

This was Yamabuki Chidori's scheme.

Saitō Fubōfu trumpet attack was incredibly powerful. Momo and Walter, both members of the Sternritter, were completely helpless against it. Even the other Sternritter members, though stronger than the two of them, had their limits.

If Saitō Fubōfu, an indiscriminate weapon of mass destruction, were thrown directly into the crowd, and then the megaphone was activated, Yamabuki Chidori guessed that at least two-thirds of the people would lose their fighting ability, and the remaining third would also suffer some kind of injury. At that time, after activating his Perfect Sanctification, he could unleash a devastating attack and end the battle ahead of time.

That's why the two of them swaggered in and attacked head-on.

"The Bankai, the Dragon Lion Roar, the Heavenly Demon Sound!"

"Oh no! That's the move that seriously injured Momo and Walter! Everyone be careful!" Bard shouted to warn his companions.

At this point, Saitō Fubōfu had been fully charged, and it was too late to stop him.

The terrifying sound waves formed a visible wall, sweeping everything away with overwhelming force.

At this point, these Sternritter realized they had underestimated Death.

I never imagined there would be such a powerful figure among the Grim Reapers!

However, just when everyone thought they were doomed, the blond, handsome man appeared in front of them with incredible speed.

"The Impervious!" The blond-haired beauty stretched out his arm, and blue light bloomed in his palm, actually neutralizing Saitō Fubōfu sonic attack.

Yamabuki Chidori frowned. "How come another mythical beast has appeared?"

"Space Severance!"

Yamabuki Chidori slashed at the blond, handsome man with a backhand strike.

However, the opponent still activated their Schrift ability, the Impervious.

The once indestructible Space Severance has vanished without a trace.

Yamabuki Chidori then realized the seriousness of the problem.

"It's useless. I am Mardon, Grand Master of the Sternritter, the Antithesis. My Schrift ability grants immunity to all attacks except physical attacks," the blond, handsome man said calmly.

You think you're a the Visionary killer?

Mardon? Don't you have an older brother named Newton?

P. S.: Newton's full name is Isaac Newton.

Chapter 180: Bankai! All Living Things

Yamabuki Chidori initially wanted to complain, but then she thought, aren't there plenty of bizarre abilities in this world?

All-Knowing All-Powerful, Rejecting the Present, Changing the Future, the Antithesis the past, the World —these are all bizarre abilities beyond belief.

Is it really worth making a fuss over the appearance of a magic-immune ability?

Thinking this, Yamabuki Chidori relaxed. So, all she had to do was kill this guy who was more handsome than her, right?

Yamabuki Chidori had the Silver Radiant Angel de-release from its liberated state, and charged forward with her sword, unleashing a flurry of attacks Yamabuki Chidori's sword was already quite powerful, but the sword of Newton's Younger Brother, Mardon, was not much slower than hers. All of her attacks were blocked by the opponent, sparks and lightning streaking from mid-air to the ground, and Yamabuki Chidori was unable to land a single blow on her opponent.

Mardon said calmly, "As His Majesty's strongest shield, I can not only nullify all special abilities, but my own combat strength is also very high. Otherwise, how could I command the Sternritter?"

As he spoke, Mardon's sword thrust forward at incredible speed, forcing Yamabuki Chidori to retreat. Meanwhile, the other Sternritter members reacted and began attacking Yamabuki Chidori and Saitō Fubōfu.

When Yamabuki Chidori saw this scene, his heart sank. He knew that his plan had failed. He had never expected that there would be such a genius among the Quincy.

Newton's Younger Brother, I'll remember you. I'll make sure you turn the lid off your Younger Brother's coffin someday. Oh, and I know Newton was cremated.

Saitō Fubōfu, raised the Wolf Fang fang in his hand and slammed it hard on the ground. Instantly, the earth cracked and the entire palace shook.

However, these Sternritter members were all top-tier experts. Facing so many powerful opponents at once, even the Saitō Fubōfu and Yamabuki Chidori found it extremely difficult. In the end, these twenty-odd people surrounded them. Yamabuki Chidori could use her Space Ability to escape the pursuit, but what about Saito?

Mardon looked at Yamabuki Chidori with indifference. "Grim Reaper, you overestimate your abilities. You are doomed to die today. Lay down your weapons and surrender, and I will spare your lives."

Yamabuki Chidori blinked and said to Saitō Fubōfu, who was back-to-back with her, "Why don't we both surrender?"

"Fine! But before you surrender, I want to cut that sissy's head off." Saitō Fubōfu, glared fiercely at Mardon.

If Mardon hadn't used his ability to nullify his own, the Sternritter have already collapsed.

"That makes sense! I agree too." Yamabuki Chidori laughed. Mardon coldly looked at Yamabuki Chidori and Saitō Fubōfu. Since you two are unwilling to surrender, then die! Humans go to the Soul Society after death, but what happens to Shinigami after they die?

He didn't know, but Yamabuki Chidori knew that his soul would definitely go to Hell. After all, the density of his soul's Reishi was extremely high, and it couldn't be dissipated at all. In the end, it could only be sent to Hell.

"It seems they won't accept our surrender terms. We two have no choice but to fight to the death!" Yamabuki Chidori looked at the menacing Sternritter closing in on him and knew that his chances of survival were slim. His body only regenerated quickly; he wasn't Immortal Body. Surrounded by so many Captain-level powerhouses, he was doomed.

Yamabuki Chidori found that even facing imminent death, she felt no emotional turmoil and could accept everything with remarkable equanimity. Did this mean she had grown up?

However, just as the Sternritter were preparing to launch their attack, Mardon's expression suddenly turned grim, for he discovered that a sword had pierced through his body from behind.

It was a thin, fine sword with a blood groove for bleeding; it was a sword specifically designed for assassination.

"You two really made me look for you! You both know I hate trouble the most!" A weak voice came from behind Mardon, and a dejected face appeared.

Yamabuki Chidori and Saitō Fubōfu were both stunned when they saw this face, because the person who suddenly attacked and stabbed Mardon was actually Shijima Chiru.

"How... how is this possible! I didn't even notice anyone behind me!" Mardon kept spitting out blood.

"I forgot to tell you, this sword of mine is coated with a deadly poison. If you don't want to die, you'd better get treatment quickly! Also, I'll take my companion with me." Shijima Chiru drew his sword and Flash Step appeared beside Yamabuki Chidori and Saitō Fubōfu.

"Leave? Are you kidding me? How can you leave like this?" Bard roared. At this moment, Mardon's face had turned bluish-purple, and he would be in danger if he didn't receive first aid quickly.

Shijima Chiru looked indifferently at the members of the Sternritter and said expressionlessly, "My Bankai is incredibly powerful; even I wouldn't dare use it lightly. But today, I'll make an exception and show you my Bankai!"

The members of the Sternritter were all on edge. They had all witnessed Saitō Fubōfu power just now. If Mardon hadn't used his Schrift ability to neutralize Saitō Fubōfu "Lion's Roar Technique" in time, who knows how many people would have died.

Shijima Chiru slowly wiped his sword, his every movement making the Sternritter extremely nervous. Now they dared not underestimate these grim reapers at all.

"Bankai, All Living Things!" Shijima Chiru unleashed his Bankai, a sinister smile on his face, and then...

Subsequently, Yamabuki Chidori, Saitō Fubōfu, and Shijima Chiru all vanished from the spot at the same time.

The Sternritter's hearts tightened, initially thinking their opponents were using supersonic movement. But after waiting for a while without an attack, Bard suddenly exclaimed, "I know! Their ability is invisibility! They've escaped!"

The Sternritter suddenly realized, "So that's how it is! That man who looked like he had kidney deficiency was just bluffing all along!"

Soon, Mardon also received treatment. Although the sword Shijima Chiru was coated with a potent poison, the Quincy had a very sophisticated medical system, so removing the poison from his body was not difficult.

"Commander, what do we do now?" Bard looked at Mardon with a dejected expression. Not only Bard, but everyone in the Sternritter was in a very low mood.

These three Death Gods managed to manipulate the entire upper echelons of the Wandenreich with ease, severely damaging their morale. Some even began to doubt whether they could win the war.

Mardon was pale. Although the poison had been neutralized, he couldn't fight for the time being. He could only say with a bitter expression, "Our position has been exposed. We must retreat immediately and find a new foothold. His Majesty is still asleep, and I am seriously injured. If Death arrives with a large force later, we are doomed. Let's move to Hueco Mundo."

Chapter 181: Self-Criticism (10,000 words)

A few kilometers away from the Quincy Palace, three people suddenly appeared in an open space. They were Yamabuki Chidori, Saitō Fubōfu, and Shijima Chiru.

Yamabuki Chidori looked at the distant palace with lingering fear, feeling a wave of dread. If Shijima Chiru hadn't arrived in time, he would have certainly faced a fierce battle to escape, if not died here. He turned to Shijima Chiru: "How did you end up here?"

Shijima Chiru said to Yamabuki Chidori with a dejected look, "You're still asking me? Your original mission was to capture a few Quincy to help Zendouji Yuuhin experiments, but you two actually went straight into the enemy's headquarters. The Captain Commander was worried and sent me to meet you. Luckily, my Bankai is perfect for covering my teammates' retreat."

Yamabuki Chidori recalled Shijima Chiru's Bankai, never expecting that Shijima Chiru's Bankai "All Living Things" would be a group invisibility ability. Within a certain area, Shijima Chiru could make someone enter an invisible state, while eliminating Reiatsu, sound, and body odor. Moreover, actively attacking would not break the invisibility state. Even if the enemy had extraordinary abilities, they would not be able to find him. It was simply a divine tool for being the sixth man.

This is the perfect ability for assassination: silently approaching the enemy and then suddenly stabbing them in the back. It can even lead a group of thugs to stealthily stab them together, with the blades coated in deadly poison—it's simply perfect.

Yamabuki Chidori slammed her fist down, thinking, "From now on, I'll leave any assassination missions to Shijima Chiru!"

Just as Yamabuki Chidori was about to write this place down, suddenly, the entire palace was lifted off the ground by a tremendous force and flew into the sky.

Yamabuki Chidori was stunned. It seemed that the enemy no longer intended to use this place after it was exposed.

The next second, a flash of light appeared in mid-air, and the entire palace vanished into thin air.

"How's your mission going?" Shijima Chiru asked. Their mission was to capture Quincy for experiments.

"Don't worry about that!" Yamabuki Chidori her hand, and a Quincy who had been knocked unconscious was thrown out. This was a prisoner that Yamabuki Chidori had taken with Quincy when she retreated earlier.

"Now that the character is complete, let's go back!" Shijima Chiru turned around and contacted Soul Society, opening the Soul Gate.

As soon as Yamabuki Chidori returned to the First Division Barracks with Saitō Fubōfu, she saw the Captain Commander looking at her coldly.

"Ahem! Captain Commander, I've completed my mission and returned!" Yamabuki Chidori pointed at the Quincy on the ground, but noticing the Old Man's still cold expression, Yamabuki Chidori's voice gradually lowered.

"Hmph, this has had an extremely negative impact. As Staff Officer, you actually led the Captain of the Gotei 13 directly into the enemy's headquarters! Do you know how dangerous this was?" Yamamoto slammed his sword against the scabbard. "What if something unexpected happened? This isn't just your loss; it's a loss for the entire Gotei 13. Go back and write a proper self-criticism."

"Huh? You wrote a self-criticism?" Yamabuki Chidori wailed.

"It can't be less than 10,000 words, or you'll see how I deal with you," the Captain Commander said coldly.

Yamabuki Chidori looked bitter and sighed. The other Captain were suppressing their laughter when the Captain Commander suddenly said, "Saito."

Saitō Fubōfu and had been on the list of people trying to suppress their laughter, immediately stopped laughing when he heard the Captain Commander call his name.

"As the Captain of the Sixth Division, how could you go crazy with Yamabuki Chidori? You all have important responsibilities in the team, and nothing can happen to you. When you get back, write a self-criticism, five thousand words." Yamamoto said.

"Five... five thousand! Captain Commander, I'm innocent! This was all Yamabuki's idea! I was forced into it!" Saitō Fubōfu, tried to shift the blame, but the Captain Commander wouldn't buy it. He insisted on five thousand words, not a single word less.

"Alright, those who needed to be punished have been punished. Now let's talk about the gains from this operation," Yamamoto said.

Yamabuki Chidori immediately stepped forward, unsure if she could at least make amends. At the very least, she could write a shorter apology—a 10,000-word apology! It was simply outrageous; it would take ages to read it from the stage. Yamabuki Chidori coughed lightly. "This time, our gains include capturing one living Quincy. Furthermore, I've obtained extremely important information: the Quincy King Yhwach has fallen into a coma for some unknown reason. It was because of this that I decided to assassinate Yhwach. However, I didn't expect his palace to be so heavily guarded. We were stopped before we even saw Quincy King. If Yhwach Shijima Chiru hadn't arrived in time, it would have been another fierce battle."

"Furthermore, through intelligence gathering, we've learned that Yhwach can distribute his power to his subordinates by having them drink his blood. These men are known as the Sternritter of twenty-six members, each corresponding to a Western alphabet from A to Z, including Yhwach. Each of them possesses the strength to rival Captain-level powerhouse, and some of their powers are even incredibly difficult to defend against," Yamabuki Chidori said in a deep voice. "Based on our encounters, I've already ascertained the abilities of several members of the Sternritter."

"The Visionary, Walter Meta, ability, the World. Able to control inanimate objects through its own power, but can only control one thing at a time."

"The Heat, Allens Bhad, ability: Sandstorm, able to control yellow sand, extremely powerful, caused me great trouble when we first met."

"The Fear, Chariot Eugene, power, the Rage; the angrier he gets, the stronger he becomes. There are no other special abilities."

"The Sledgehammer, Alexandria Momo, ability: The Chain. She can create unbreakable the Chain, but according to my tests, her the Chain cannot resist Spatial-type abilities. Moreover, she was severely injured in the battle with us, losing an arm and an eye, and her close combat ability is very weak. She is no longer a threat."

"Schrift, B. The most troublesome one, Mardon, the Grand Master of the Sternritter. His ability is the Impervious, which can nullify any attack except physical attacks. In other words, as long as he is still alive, neither Ryūjin Jakka nor Scarlet Angel can be effective. He claims to be Yhwach's strongest shield. Personally, I think we should deal with him first."

"Finally, there is an unknown enemy lurking in the shadows. So far, all we know is that this person possesses extremely strong attack power. He once ambushed both me and Saitō Fubōfu, severely injuring us. His attacks are elusive and unpredictable, posing a greater threat than Newton's Younger Brother, Mardon."

"That's all the intelligence I've gathered," Yamabuki Chidori said.

Everyone's faces darkened. They hadn't expected the Quincy to have assembled such a terrifying force. Moreover, according to Yamabuki Chidori, every member of the Sternritter was at the Captain-level. If a fight broke out, the outcome would be uncertain.

Chapter 182: Do you want Unohana's lap pillow?

According to Yamabuki Chidori's description, the Quincy eventually abandoned their original encampment and fled elsewhere.

"Where do you think these Quincy will escape to?" Captain Commander Yamamoto asked.

Yamabuki Chidori was silent for a moment, then gave a very firm answer, "It must be Hueco Mundo. Since their target is Soul Society, they definitely won't leave the territory of Japan. It's such a small place, we can find them quickly if we want to. Besides, their architecture is too Westernized, you can tell at a glance, so I guess they will definitely set up their headquarters in Hueco Mundo."

The three worlds —the Human World, Soul Society, Hueco Mundo —correspond to each other.

In the Shinigami worldview, the Human World represents the entire Earth, while the traditional Soul Society refers to the East Branch. There is also a West Branch in London across the ocean. In other words, the Soul Society only manages the souls in the Japan mainland and has no jurisdiction over areas beyond that region.

But the Hueco Mundo is different.

Hueco Mundo, even with the Shinigami's few thousand members, it would be impossible for them to find the enemy within six months.

Therefore, Yamabuki Chidori was certain that the enemy would place their headquarters in Hueco Mundo.
