Wandenreich, Silbern.
Inside the broad and tall throne hall, the high-hanging Reishi chandelier casts light, illuminating the complicated Quincy Cross Emblem on the ground.
No one made a sound in the hall. All Sternritter members were wearing pure white slender windbreakers and lined up on both sides of the wide red carpet.
Everyone was lowering their heads, and no one dared to look up at the throne at the front.
Yhwach is sitting on a large high-backed chair.
He supported his chin with one hand, and his eyes were looking around at the neatly arranged subordinates below.
Uryū Ishida and Yugelan·Haschwalth stood on the left and right steps below the throne respectively, acting as guards.
Uryū Ishida pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose.
There was a thin layer of sweat on his palms, but he could only pretend to be calm.
Since accepting the Schrift given by Yhwach and being designated as the successor of Wandenreich, he has to be very careful every step he takes.
In order to find out the truth hidden at the deepest level, he could only suppress all his true thoughts in his stomach and not show any emotion to anyone.
"Is everyone here?"
Yhwach sat up straight, and his dull voice spread in the hall.
Haschwalth turned around and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, except for the knights who have died in the battle, the other twenty-two Star Cross members have all been assembled."
Yhwach nodded.
"I heard the latest information coming from below."
His thick beard moved slightly and he said calmly, "That old guy Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto actually took the initiative to give up Gotei 13 Captain-Commander's position to a new kid."
Haschwalth took over, "That's Third Division's new captain, Yoriichi Tsugikuni."
At the mention of this name, there were a few slight discussions among the knights down the hall.
Bazz-B was destroyed on the spot by Yoriichi Tsugikuni in the last battle, and was immediately sentenced to death.
That overwhelming power gap makes several knights who retreated from the battlefield still feel a little uncomfortable when they think about it.
Cang Du crossed his arms and said calmly, "He is just a newcomer, he has no right to stop us."
His short black hair covered one eye, and the expression on his face was calm.
"As long as I capture Bankai, Soul Reaper will be nothing more than a bunch of trash without weapons."
Nanana Najakup, who was wearing an eyepatch next to him, grinned, "And as long as I observe the loopholes in his Reiatsu distribution, even Captain-Commander, I can paralyze him with one move."
Ace Nott rolled his eyes and said faintly, "I have tasted the fear of Byakuya Kuchiki last time. This time I will make the entire Seireitei fall into the abyss of despair."
PePe Waccabrada·Vakabrada held the staff, his fat body twisting and turning.
He covered his mouth, "As long as you are hit by my love, even the strongest captain will become my follower."
"You guys, you have to have a limit when you talk big."
Askin Nakluvar, who was standing at the back, scratched his hair and said, "That Yoriichi is a monster that can burn through space with one move. If you encounter it, it's best to walk around. I don't want to collect your corpses on the battlefield."
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately aroused dissatisfaction from the people next to him.
"Are you trying to make others more ambitious?"
Lille Barro raised his eyebrows, "This is a battle gifted by His Majesty. If anyone dares to back down, I don't mind using the barrel of my gun to send him off in advance."
This member of Guard Squad, who has always regarded himself as His Majesty's first envoy, found Askin's lazy look distasteful.
"Don't get angry."
Askin spread his hands and said, "I just mentioned it casually. Anyway, I'm just filling in."
Gerard Valkyrie took a step forward and put his hands on his hips.
He laughed loudly and said, "Soul Reaper might as well change the leader. If that boy named Yoriichi is really that powerful, I will definitely use my the Miracle to smash him into a meat pie!"
On the side of the female knight camp, it was a different scene.
Gadis Carney fiddled with the green hair beside her ears, raised her lips and said, "The Soul Reaper captains from Seireitei didn't even fight last time. The one named Sajin Komamura couldn't even see my movements to fight back. I hope they can take the beating this time."
Giselle Gewelle·Juel put his hand to his face and let out a weird laugh.
"I would like to make a few more Captain-level other zombies."
She tilted her head and looked at her companions, "It makes me happy just to think about turning those aloof Soul Reaper into obedient toys, wagging their tails behind them every day."
Meninas McAllon Macarron blinked his pink eyes, "But if those captains were smashed into pieces by me without beating them, then they wouldn't be able to become zombies."
Giselle Gewelle glanced at her and said, "Then you should use some strength. I can't fight even if the meat is scattered all over the ground."
Bambi Ata Basta snorted, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. No matter who you meet this time, you are not allowed to steal my prey, otherwise I will blow you up together."
"You're such a bad-tempered woman, be careful not to have your head chopped off."
Liltotto Lampado chewed candy in his mouth, "I want to have a big meal."
"That's my line."
Bambi Aita looked over coldly, "If you say one more word, I will blow you away."
BG9 stood in the corner at the back, a gentle voice coming from under the helmet-like metal mask.
"All data on Second Division Captain has been collected and the annihilation command can be executed at any time."
Yhwach ignored the noise of the members below.
For him, it was enough as long as these knights still had the desire to kill.
Yhwach stood up from the throne.
As he stood up, the noise in the hall disappeared in an instant.
Everyone lowered their heads again, and even their breathing slowed down.
"It's time to end this grudge that has lasted for thousands of years."
Yhwach opened his hands, "From now on, we will completely expel Soul Reaper from their world."
He raised his hand and pointed to the high ground ahead.
"Our target is not just Seireitei below."
Yhwach looked down at this group of elite subordinates, "There are also those Zero Division who are at the top of the world and claim to have a combat power that surpasses the entire Gotei 13!"
As soon as he said this, everyone in the hall raised their faces.
Directly attack Soul King Palace.
This is His Majesty's real plan this time. No wonder he summoned all the members.
"Listen, my knights."
Yhwach retracted his arm, "I will divide the team into two parts."
He looked at Haschwalth standing on the steps on the left.
"Haschwalth, you and Uryū, follow me and rush directly to the Soul King Palace."
Uryū Ishida clenched the corners of his clothes with his fingers, and without daring to pause, he immediately replied, "As you command, Your Majesty."
He knew that any resistance at this time would cause endless trouble.
Yhwach then turned his attention to the front row below.
"Lille Barro, Gerard·Valkyrie, Pernida·Pakaja."
After he read out these three names, he paused for two seconds and said, "And you, Askin Nacrovar."
Askin was stunned for a moment when his name was suddenly called, his hand still holding the curly hair on his forehead.
Does this make him a close minister?
I have always been famous for being undisciplined, but why was I suddenly promoted to the level of Guard Squad?
"Your Majesty, isn't this a bit too hasty? I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to deal with such a high-level battle."
Askin sighed in the crowd, obviously not wanting to take on this job.
Gerard patted his shoulder and interrupted him loudly.
"Boy, His Majesty is promoting you to Guard Squad. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Thank you!"
Lille Barro knelt directly on one knee on the floor tile.
These four people were designated as the core combat force to follow Yhwach in conquering Soul King Palace.
"Four Guard Squads are traveling with me to defeat those Zero Division guys who only stay in the sky."
Yhwach After finishing the arrangements, he continued to look at the other members in the hall.
"As for the rest of you."
He pressed his finger down, "When Ice Palace completely covers the streets of Seireitei, you will stand on the enemy's territory and bring despair to those Soul Reaper."
Cang Du took a step forward, lowered his head and asked, "Your Majesty, do you need to be kept alive?"
"No need."
Yhwach said indifferently, "Kill all enemies you see."
He paused for a moment, then accentuated his tone.
"I want every inch of Seireitei's land to be filled with Gotei 13's corpses."
All the knights below shouted in unison, "Yes!"
Yhwach glanced around, "Ichigo Kurosaki and those humans from World of the Living, you can keep them and play slowly."
"But no one of the captains of Soul Reaper can be spared."
He turned his head and looked at the closed stone door of the palace. His eyes seemed to have penetrated through many spaces and saw the scene inside Seireitei.
Yoriichi Tsugikuni is a variable, and the Reiatsu that surpasses Three Realms should not be underestimated.
However, for Yhwach who has the power of the Almighty, all threats on the future route can be seen through.
His plan was laid down thousands of years ago, and all developments are under his control.
The hall became quiet again, and all the knights were waiting for the final charge order.
Yhwach turned around, the black cloak behind him rising and falling in the air.
"Nine days."
Yhwach opened his arms, and the tyrannical high pressure Reishi directly filled the entire hall, "The world will usher in its end within nine days."
He laughed a few times, and his rebellious voice penetrated the walls of the Ice Palace.
"Nine days later, go and take over the whole world!"
