"Well..."
Some Sternritter sighed helplessly, as if they already knew their future fate!
They seemed to already know that in Yhwach's eyes, they were nothing more than tools to relieve loneliness and pass the time!
They were pushed out at a time when the situation wasn't so critical, and treated like puppets!
"Hateful..."
One of the Sternritter cursed inwardly, suddenly feeling that being a knight was incredibly pathetic, even worse than those unchosen Quincy!
Those Quincy who weren't chosen by Yhwach, though their physical power wasn't as great, didn't have to endure the humiliation of losing every battle here!
Unexpectedly, these Sternritter, whose bodies possess the power of Yhwach's Schrift, are now in a state where they can neither run away nor fight back, and can only wait to die!
Yes, starting just now, because the Sternritter could not win no matter what, the morale of the entire Sternritter became extremely low, and some people with weak willpower had already begun to plan their escape!
But they found that they couldn't escape no matter what they did; it seemed that Yhwach's power was not helping them, but rather becoming a means of restricting them!
The Schrift, the power that flowed from Yhwach's body to them, did not amplify their abilities at this moment; instead, it became a shackle restricting them...
"Very good, it's almost time!"
"It's time to teach those foolish Soul Reaper in this world a lesson!"
"You'd better open your eyes wide and don't miss anything in front of you!"
"Because what comes next is the moment when you will truly fear Soul Reaper!"
Yhwach began his usual rambling performance, as if it had become a tradition for him to play wildly before his men took the stage.
Although his subordinates were all struggling, and most of them were directly killed by his healing, Yhwach didn't care at all!
He sent knights to fight Soul Reaper merely to satisfy his own desires!
First, inflict as much damage as possible on the Soul Reaper before the knights die!
Second, catch the Soul Reaper and slay these Sternritter Sternritter, plundering the power of the Schrift he once bestowed upon their bodies!
Yhwach is doing right now is nothing more than this simple thing...
"Go, Lloyd Loyd!"
Yhwach waved his hand and dispatched the super secret weapon he had prepared, which seemed to be intended to deal with Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai!
That was a Quincy with a shiny bald head, Quincy exuded a powerful Spiritual Pressure!
When the Quincy walked up to the Soul Reaper, his appearance had changed. He had transformed from an ordinary person into an old man with gray hair and wearing a black trench coat!
Yes, this Quincy suddenly became exactly like Yhwach, the Quincy Emperor!
Even their haughty demeanor was incredibly similar, enough to fool anyone. If Yhwach were standing next to the man before them, perhaps even the man most familiar with Yhwach in the world wouldn't be able to tell which one was the real Yhwach and which one Yhwach fake!
"Ha ha ha ha..."
"What an interesting ability!"
"They can actually directly copy Yhwach's body..."
"But since that's the case, let's have a competition!"
"Let me see if you can truly replicate Yhwach's abilities!"
Sōgo Shihoin who had Quincy Yhwach's appearance!
Sōgo Shihoin wasn't raised to be easily intimidated!
Besides, even if there really were two Yhwach, Sōgo Shihoin wouldn't be afraid; on the contrary, he would find it incredibly interesting. Let alone the fact that right now, one is real and the other is just a pitiful copy!
"In that case~"
" Baraggan, go and find out the enemy's strengths and weaknesses!"
After thinking for a while, Sōgo Shihoin decided to send Baraggan out to test the strength of this fake Yhwach. If this fake Yhwach really had the strength of the real Yhwach and won with overwhelming power, then Sōgo Shihoin wouldn't feel any heartache at the death of Baraggan; instead, he would laugh out loud.
"What the heck!?"
"No way, why send me out of all these Soul Reaper!?"
"I'm just an ordinary Menos Grande!"
"Given the current situation, I still believe that sending a powerful Soul Reaper would give us a better chance of success!"
Baraggan seemed to be a very humble person; he kept shaking his head and talking about his humility.
"I told you to go, so go! Why all the fuss?"
Sōgo Shihoin watched the rambling Baraggan and gently waved his wrist.
"Crack~ Crack~ Crack~"
Sōgo Shihoin gently moved his wrists, making a cracking sound as his bones rubbed together.
"Forehead..."
In an instant, Baraggan's expression changed several times. Under that blatant threat, his face turned rather unpleasant!
"No way~ Sōgo!"
"I am, after all, an Emperor of Hueco Mundo, someone who has ruled Hueco Mundo for many years!"
"You should at least give me some face, right?!"
Baraggan lowered his voice and asked Sōgo Shihoin in an extremely gentle tone.
"Go or die!"
Sōgo Shihoin was also very gentle, answering Baraggan's question with great tenderness.
"Go! Go! Go!"
"Really..."
"It's not like I said I wasn't going, why are you being so fierce!?"
After Sōgo Shihoin, Baraggan pouted and spoke somewhat unhappily.
He, Hueco Mundo's Emperor Baraggan, just threw a little tantrum!
However, no matter what little mood Baraggan fussed over, he eventually had no choice but to step out of the line and stand in front of the Quincy who had imitated Yhwach's power!
"Your power is immense Quincy!"
Baraggan immediately began praising the enemy upon meeting them.
"If you don't provoke me!"
"With your strength, you should be able to live a very happy life in this world..."
There seemed to be a hint of helplessness in Baraggan's words.
But there's always an exception!
"You just had to provoke me!"
"Then it's a real shame that you only have one path left: death!"
Baraggan loudly announced the death of the man dressed as Yhwach!
"Boring..."
The man who imitated Yhwach also seems to have imitated Yhwach's abilities and personality!
The fake Yhwach stretched out his arm toward Baraggan!
In an instant, a jet-black power surged towards Baraggan!
"Very powerful!"
"I must say, it is truly outstanding!"
"But..."
Baraggan felt the overwhelming power of the enemy and nodded repeatedly in affirmation, but this power was not enough to defeat him!
Because he is Hueco Mundo, the Great Emperor of Hueco Baraggan!
As Baraggan raised his hand, an endless, dark, decaying power surged towards the attack!
"No force in this world can stop aging!"
Everything, no matter what it is, will eventually come to an end!
Your attack is too weak!
With Baraggan completely dissipated the attack unleashed by the fake Yhwach.
"That's amazing!"
The fake Yhwach stared at Baraggan, slightly taken aback. It seemed to be the first time he had witnessed such terrifying power. He had always thought that these powerful abilities were exclusive to Quincy! Yet now, a Menos Grande, a beast in the eyes of the Quincy, actually possessed such advanced power. This was truly unbelievable to him.
"What kind of look is that?!"
"Do you think I shouldn't possess this power?"
"I admit that my power was enhanced once by Sōgo Shihoin!"
"But this power was awakened through my own research!"
Baraggan, having lived in the village for an unknown amount of time, may very well be one of the two oldest beings in the world, along with Ikomikidomoe!
His power belongs to no one else; it belongs to him alone!
He himself came to understand the power of time and awakened to the powerful force that makes people age!
"Senescence!"
Upon hearing this, the fake Yhwach frowned deeply; he dared not touch the super spiritual energy used by Baraggan!
He wasn't the real Yhwach after all; he feared that once he touched the spiritual energy, he would never be able to return...
How could a living being possess such immense power?!
The fake Yhwach raised a question; he didn't understand, or rather, couldn't understand, why a Menos Grande would awaken such a powerful force!
"That's right! Just like you said! Ordinary creatures really can't control powers like mine!"
"So it's very simple, I am not a living being, I am a god! A great god!"
"I was reborn to be a supreme being, ruling over all!"
Baraggan arrogantly proclaims himself a great god. It seems he has also been influenced by Sōgo Shihoin's Spiritual Pressure, transforming from someone with a slight chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) to an extremely chuunibyou super invincible chuunibyou king!
"That's incredibly stupid!"
"You're nothing but a Menos Grande being, yet you dare to call yourself a god?! What a joke!"
The fake Yhwach looked at the charlatan before him who claimed to be a god, and felt he had never been so speechless in his entire life!
There is only one being in this world who can be called a god, and that is the emperor of their Wandenreich, the ancestor of all Quincy, the man who returned from the end of death, ready to reclaim everything that belongs to him, Yhwach!
You are about to be punished!
The fake Yhwach spoke, spreading his arms, and suddenly a Reishi Bow appeared.
"You deserve to be punished!"
"No one in this world can punish me!"
Baraggan was utterly unfriendly to the fake Yhwach, seemingly disregarding Yhwach entirely and never taking Yhwach seriously.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Just as Baraggan was being arrogant, a series of attacks ripped through the sky like thunderbolts, shooting towards Baraggan!
"Snort!"
Faced with attacks that were even faster than thunder, Baraggan simply took out his massive axe and held it in front of him!
"Boom!"
The axe and the arrow collided instantly, producing a violent explosion!
"Boring!"
After deflecting the high-density Reishi arrows, Baraggan put down his axe, but his gaze did not relax at all; instead, it became even more resolute.
"Hahaha..."
Meanwhile, the fake Yhwach, seeing Baraggan summon his giant axe to block the attack, began to reassess the difference in strength between himself and Baraggan!
"It seems just as I imagined!"
"Your abilities aren't invincible!"
"If your abilities are flawless, you won't need to use your axe to block my arrows; simply standing still will suffice!"
It seems that Yhwach false belief, thought that if Baraggan's corruption was truly invincible, then Baraggan would not need to use his axe to block his own arrows!
The fact that Baraggan used his axe to block the attack shows that he was somewhat apprehensive and that his abilities were not invincible!
"I just wanted to cover it up with the axe!"
Upon Baraggan merely smiled dismissively, as if he had truly acted on a whim, casually pulling out his axe in response to the attack from the fake Yhwach.
"Definitely not!"
You think you can fool me!?
The fake Yhwach merely smiled coldly at Baraggan's words, as if he already knew the answer in his heart!
"Hehe..."
"Neuropathy!"
After hearing the false Yhwach's words, Baraggan felt that the Quincy impersonating Yhwach was possessed and incapable of reasonable communication!
The brain must have suffered some degree of trauma!
"Enough with the nonsense!"
As the false Yhwach spoke, the sky suddenly darkened, and countless Reishi, under his manipulation, transformed into Reishi arrows radiating terrifying power!
This is the Quincy's ultimate attack technique!
It was the weapon they used to defeat the Menos Grande, and at this moment, the fake Yhwach used it to attack the skull standing at the top of all the Menos Grande, who had transcended the mortal realm by receiving the power bestowed upon Sōgo Shihoin!
At that moment, arrows rained down from the sky towards the Menos Grande who had gained the power of Sōgo Shihoin!
The power of decay once again unleashed the full force it was meant to unleash!
That terrifying black mist instantly enveloped half the sky!
Everything in the sky is aging!
Clouds! Air! Reishi! Including space!
Everything became utterly vulnerable in the face of this powerful force!
"Madness!"
"No one in this world has ever been able to defeat me in this way!"
"As the noble emperor of Hueco Mundo!"
How could I have failed so miserably!
Baraggan relentlessly unleashed his power, his all-corrupting force hurtling straight toward the false Yhwach!
It seems he will not stop until he has completely swallowed up the false Yhwach!
