"I really don't like being called a 'useless old man'..."
"Although I do look a little bit like an old man..."
Shunsui Kyōraku gripped his two Zanpakuto, now in their Shikai, tightly in his hands, their blades gleaming with a chilling light. His eyes were incredibly sharp, knowing that behind him stood two beautiful women: Lisa Yadōmaru and Nanao Ise...
How could he possibly lose at a time like this!?
"Your demeanor has definitely changed."
"But even so, what can you do!?"
Berenice Gabriel, a Sternritter, fully demonstrated the fine traditions of his order by constantly provoking Shunsui Kyōraku; he was getting cocky!
"You bastard..."
"Don't you realize you've entered my attack range!?"
Shunsui Kyōraku spoke, he vanished completely in front of Berenice Gabriel.
"What!?"
Berenice Gabriel stared intently at the vanished Shunsui Kyōraku, his eyes wide with disbelief. He couldn't comprehend what had just happened; Shunsui Kyōraku, who had been standing right in front of him, had vanished in an instant...
Just as Berenice Gabriel was feeling puzzled, a figure exuding a powerful aura slowly appeared behind Berenice!
"Um!?"
Berenice Gabriel felt the Spiritual Pressure behind him, and his eyes widened! He knew it was Shunsui Kyōraku who had disappeared before, but he didn't understand why Shunsui Kyōraku, who had vanished, had suddenly reappeared behind him...
But none of that matters anymore. As long as he discovers Shunsui Kyōraku, then it's not too late!
As long as he's fast enough, Shunsui Kyōraku is nothing to fear!
Thinking this, Berenice Gabriel suddenly turned around, and the next second...
Berenice Gabriel was stunned by the scene before him!
Behind him, however, was nowhere to be seen – only a vast, empty Shunsui Kyōraku.
"What!?"
Berenice Gabriel's eyes widened in shock. He couldn't understand what was happening, why the Shunsui Kyōraku he had sensed had suddenly vanished...
Just as Berenice Gabriel was filled with confusion, he felt that familiar Spiritual Pressure erupting behind him again!
"It's Shunsui Kyōraku!?"
"But why did it get behind me again!?"
Berenice Gabriel was utterly confused. He couldn't understand why Shunsui Kyōraku had suddenly appeared behind him again, when things hadn't been like this just moments before...
"Could it be...?"
Berenice Gabriel's mind raced. In a mere few milliseconds, he suddenly realized why Shunsui Kyōraku had been constantly appearing behind him...
Unfortunately, Berenice Gabriel found out far too late.
Just as Berenice Gabriel was preparing a strategy to deal with Shunsui Kyōraku!
A bright silver light illuminated the heavens and the earth!
In an instant, Berenice Gabriel felt his neck being separated from his body forever. His headless neck gushed out countless drops of bright red blood, which turned into raindrops and fell to the ground!
Am I dead!?
Berenice Gabriel soared through the sky, watching his own body gushing blood. He knew he had just had his head severed with a single blow...
"So they're leaving like this! Maybe it's not so bad..."
While feeling disappointed, Berenice Gabriel suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction, because it was so good that he could leave like this...
"Solve!"
Shunsui Kyōraku adjusted his straw hat, looking silently at Berenice Gabriel, whom he had swiftly killed. The latter had actually suffered from a lack of intelligence, not knowing Kageoni techniques, which allowed him to be ambushed and have his head chopped off. If he had encountered someone who truly understood Kyoraku's abilities, a fierce battle would have been inevitable...
"Ugh, this is such a hassle."
Shunsui Kyōraku sighed helplessly, his sigh revealing his utter despair.
"The enemy has been dealt with!"
Although Shunsui Kyōraku's words were filled with helplessness, he still cleanly and efficiently dealt with the enemy, demonstrating that he, whom Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai regarded as the first successor, had chatted with Kuruyashiki Kenpachi three hundred years ago about how to defeat Vasto Lorde- Seireitei Menos Grande Shikai, and after hundreds of years, had now become one of the top combatants among the captains of the Gotei 13, almost reaching the limit of Soul Reaper.
"Good!"
Sōgo Shihoin slightly. Regardless of whether Shunsui Kyōraku Shunsui Kyōraku was showing off or not, he had indeed demonstrated the strength that a veteran Soul Reaper squad captain should display!
Easily defeated a Sternritter member with fighting strength comparable to Kensei Muguruma!
"That's great!"
Kensei Muguruma was speechless. He knew that he had been used as a unit of measurement for combat power by the enemy. He also knew that each of the nearly thirty knights here had at least Muguruma's Spiritual Pressure. In other words, each of them had at least the strength to rival his. However, even with such powerful combat strength that was almost equal to his, he was instantly killed by Shunsui Kyōraku's trick!
This illustrates a cruel truth: perhaps even Kensei Muguruma would be instantly defeated by Shunsui Kyōraku...
It's important to understand that the situation between Berenice Gabriel and Shunsui Kyōraku and Kensei Muguruma Gabriel was Kaname Tōsen defeated...
One was a fair duel! The other was that he was tricked!
Therefore, these two instances of instant sales cannot be compared...
"Should Yhwach continue!?"
"I see you don't have many knights left to compete!"
"They're almost all dead!"
Sōgo Shihoin sat on the sofa and asked Yhwach, who was still standing on the earth in the distance, "What do you mean?"
When asked what absurd thoughts were lurking in the mind of Yhwach, who had accepted his divine status since childhood and considered himself a god, preparing to leave the earth and stand in the sky, they received no answer...
"Why don't you just give up standing in the sky!"
"I'll buy you a stool, and you can just come over every day and help me see the world!"
Sōgo Shihoin said there was absolutely no need to worry about Yhwach; he could protect everything in front of him.
"..."
Yhwach fell silent for a moment. He knew that Sōgo Shihoin was serious, but it was precisely because he knew that Sōgo Shihoin was serious that he became even angrier!
He was furious!
Is Yhwach really so easily defeated in Sōgo Shihoin's eyes!?
The thing that angered Yhwach the most in the world was never losing a match; losing to an opponent was a glorious thing!
What angered Yhwach most was that his opponent never took the match seriously, let alone him as an opponent...
This is immense pain and anger!
"Since you put it that way!"
"Then I'll have a good competition!"
"If I win, I won't kill you. I'll make you watch my world with your eyes wide open, forever!"
Yhwach spoke, an astonishing Spiritual Pressure erupted from his body, and the next second, the bodies of Sternritter began to glow...
"Not good is Auswählen!"
A member of the knightly order looked at his own glowing body and his expression changed instantly. He knew that the worst thing had finally happened.
"Your Majesty! Great Your Yhwach! Do not initiate the Auswählen! We still have value..."
The roar was filled with resentment; he was furious, furious that as a member of the Sternritter, as one of the strongest Quincy, he could die so ignominiously! Although he had never wanted to die, if he really had to, he would prefer to die at the hands of the enemy, because that would at least make him seem heroic...
As Yhwach's anger flared, the Schrift power of the Sternritter, along with the power of the blood within their bodies, surged toward Yhwach, and one by one, the once exceptionally powerful members of the Sternritter turned into skeletons!
This included several female members of the Sternritter! Perhaps because they were women, they received care from Yhwach! They simply felt a significant loss of power within them, and they could no longer enter the Vollständig...
When all power converges in one person's body, an existence that transcends everything appears!
"Boom!"
A tremendous Spiritual Pressure surged from Yhwach was dressed in black. He simply stood still and did nothing, yet the flow of Spiritual Pressure already created boundless destructive power!
The torrents of Spiritual Pressure formed by these are probably difficult for even a typical Captain-level Soul Reaper to handle!
"Yes! They're talking about my Kensei Muguruma here!"
Kensei Muguruma was almost in despair. These people had gone mad; they were far too dangerous! He felt like he was becoming more noticeable than Ichigo Kurosaki.
The main problem is that Kensei Muguruma's Spiritual Pressure is so ordinary!? So ordinary that it could easily be used as a unit of measurement for combat power!
"Squeak squeak squeak..."
"Ten cartloads!"
"Twenty carts!"
"Thirty carts..."
As Yhwach fully regained his power, Yhwach Spiritual Pressure flickered continuously on the advanced Spiritual Pressure detection device invented by the Quincy, and the data vibrated wildly!
"Bump!"
The next second, the combat power meter emitted a sound and exploded!
This means that Yhwach's Spiritual Pressure at this moment is only a thousand Spiritual Pressure! Terrifying!
" Sōgo Shihoin..."
And those who are the Soul Reaper!
"Having seen me now, do you think you still have a chance of winning!?"
Yhwach stood before Sōgo Shihoin and all fifty-two knights, and decided to challenge Sōgo Shihoin!
"You think you can fight my entire knightly order alone!?"
Sōgo Shihoin smiled slightly as he looked at Yhwach, who had gathered his power together.
No! I mean I can fight your entire knightly order and you all by myself!
Yhwach simply shook his head upon hearing this. Of course, he did not intend to fight against Sōgo Shihoin's entire Knights Order alone. He intended to deal with Sōgo Shihoin's Knights Order plus Shihoin himself by himself!
He's going to defeat the entire Soul Society all by himself!
When he accomplishes all of this, the three realms will be reunited as one! There will be no more void in this world, and the Soul Reaper will be unnecessary!
The soul does not need to suffer after death. Once it becomes light, it returns to this world and directly enters the cycle of reincarnation. Therefore, the Soul Reaper is no longer needed!
"This will be a world without Hollows! A world without Soul Reaper! A perfect world!"
Yhwach loudly introduced his world, and what he wanted to do was completely different from that of the One King and Five Dukes. He felt that there were too many Soul Reaper in this world, and that this world did not need three worlds; one was enough!
So he made a decision: he possessed the power to change everything, and he would Hueco Mundo Soul Society, and the human world into one! He would return all worlds to their original state!
"It seems we have no choice but to fight!"
Sōgo Shihoin somewhat helpless. If he could, he really didn't want to fight someone as interesting as Yhwach, because the other party was different from Sōsuke Aizen. The other party had an irreconcilable conflict with them as Soul Reaper. Even if Sōgo Shihoin defeated the enemy, the enemy would not gain any benefit. At most, they would just say that the boss's event was a great success!
"We should have fought a long time ago!"
Yhwach spoke, the world seemed to be covered by a layer of black mist!
"Alright! Since you've put it that way, let's have a thrilling one-on-one match!"
Sōgo Shihoin smiled and walked up to Yhwach, whose knights had all vanished without a trace!
"Good!"
"Since you're planning on one-on-one, then it's one-on-one!"
Yhwach had already planned to fight Sōgo Shihoin one-on-one. The reason he said he intended to fight all the captains of the Gotei 13 by himself was to save face, since so many people were watching! They couldn't afford to lose face!
"Good!"
"I like one-on-one games, and I especially love roast chicken!"
"So, Mr. Yhwach, would you like to fight me?!"
"If you don't call, I'm waving goodbye and going back to look at the pretty girls!"
After sending the person flying, Sōgo Shihoin seemed to have a sense of uncertainty about what was going on!?
"Of course we must fight!"
Suddenly, Yhwach held a jet-black katana, a sword that was incredibly similar to Ichigo Kurosaki's Bankai.
"Is it funny!?"
"This isn't Zanpakuto!"
"This is supposedly a matter of God?!"
Sōgo Shihoin seemed to realize something, but it was already a little too late, though not the latest!
"Bring it on!"
As he spoke, Sōgo Shihoin pulled out a Zanpakuto —it was his Sayafushi!
He decided to use a trick on Yhwach!
"Boom!"
The moment Yhwach's katana clashed with Sōgo Shihoin's Zanpakuto, an earth-shattering energy erupted, accompanied by the Roar!
