Yhwach's strength is undoubtedly formidable!
Especially after he unified the power of the twenty-six Schrift, his power instantly reached its peak!
The terrifying power put pressure on the entire world; the heavy Spiritual Pressure was even comparable to that of the great Soul King, making the captains of the Soul Reaper squads feel as if they were living in a terrifying space where the gravity was far greater than that of Earth!
" Yama-jii! Is this Yhwach really that powerful!?"
"Can you really handle an enemy like this!?"
As Shunsui Kyōraku felt the terrifying Spiritual Pressure emanating from Yhwach, he shook his head repeatedly. He felt that with the opponent's strength, going up against him would be tantamount to suicide. At the same time, doubt arose in his mind: could such a powerful being, his own teacher, known as the strongest Soul Reaper in Soul Society, really be defeated!?
"Cough cough..."
Upon hearing Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai merely coughed a few times.
"You unfilial disciple! Don't you know how to read the room?!"
"This guy in front of me is clearly not on the same level as the Yhwach I know!"
Yamamoto Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai somewhat helpless. The enemy's strength was so obvious, and yet he came to ask me if I could handle him!? Wasn't this disrespecting him and making him Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai face?!
"Hehe..."
Shunsui Kyōraku gave an awkward smile as he looked at Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai, who was glaring at him with his beard bristling.
"I was just joking!"
"Just kidding..."
Shunsui Kyōraku kept explaining that if looks could kill, he knew he had just died from Yama-jii's gaze. No, Yama-jii's gaze really could kill!
Those incredibly sharp eyes seemed to pierce his heart in an instant!
"Snort!"
Upon hearing Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai merely snorted coldly and remained silent.
" Aizen ~"
"You keep saying you've surpassed Soul Reaper!"
"How does your strength compare to this monster before you!?"
Shinji Hirako is a chatterbox who never misses an opportunity to criticize Aizen.
"More powerful than me!"
Sōsuke Aizen looked at Shinji Hirako's face. He looked at the face before him, a face that he found utterly repulsive no matter how he looked at it, and finally shook his head.
"Oh dear~"
"So, Aizen Sousuke, you're not all that great after all~"
Upon hearing this, Shinji Hirako burst into laughter.
"I thought you, Sōsuke Aizen, were invincible!?"
"Now it seems nothing special..."
"I, Shinji Hirako disappointed..."
Shinji Hirako used every Sōsuke Aizen, buzzing incessantly in Sōsuke Aizen's ear.
" Lord Aizen, it seems your evolution is still not complete enough!"
At this moment, Gin Ichimaru also came up and joined in the fun.
"I thought someone like Lord Aizen, who constantly draws power from young girls' bodies, could overcome everything. It seems I was wrong! It's truly heartbreaking..."
Gin Ichimaru, like a fox, squinted his eyes, feigning sadness as he wiped away tears, while secretly reveling in his actions. He still hadn't forgiven Sōsuke Aizen for stealing Rangiku Matsumoto's power. Gin Ichimaru was a petty man; he never cared how many people Sōsuke Aizen had to kill to stand up for him, nor how many Sōsuke Aizen he needed to experiment on to become a Soul Reaper. He only cared about those around him, and he wouldn't allow anyone to suffer even the slightest harm!
Hehehe...
Sōsuke Aizen glanced at Gin Ichimaru, then at Shinji Hirako. He really wanted to crush these two noisy guys in front of him, but he knew he couldn't. His painful life had only just begun...
"I really want to go up there and beat him up!"
Kenpachi Zaraki was eager to try. His sharp eyes were like those of the most terrifying beast in the world. As the Eleventh Kenpachi, Kenpachi Zaraki, with his power fully unleashed, was undoubtedly the strongest Kenpachi in history!
He's like a fighting machine meticulously crafted by God! A scavenger specifically designed to clean up those who disobey the gods! A terrifying monster possessing the strongest fighting ability in Soul Society...
"If I didn't have responsibilities..."
"I'll try to give it a shot!"
Compared to the eager Kenpachi Zaraki, Retsu Unohana was much more restrained. As the originator of the Kenpachi title and the earliest fighting machine in Soul Society, her inner desire for battle and her absolute thirst for defeating powerful enemies were no less Kenpachi Zaraki's! But unfortunately...
She is no longer the captain of the 11th Division; she is now just an ordinary Fourth Division Captain. After she lost to the young Kenpachi Zaraki a thousand years ago, the invincible First Kenpachi had already died!
What's alive now is nothing more than a locked-up body...
Ah~
Kuruyashiki Kenpachi gently stroked the short stubble on his chin. His desire for battle was no less than that of Kenpachi Zaraki and Retsu Unohana. To be honest, Kuruyashiki Kenpachi really envied Kenpachi Zaraki and Retsu Unohana, because their Zanpakuto were created for close combat, for fighting with enemies, and for slashing each other with enemies!
Unlike his Zanpakuto, which is an insatiable and incredibly violent biological Zanpakuto!
The Sword God, Ōetsu Nimaiya, once told him that everyone's Zanpakuto starts out the same; everyone's sword is Asauchi, just a blank sheet of paper. However, as the master uses it, each person's Asauchi will become strangely shaped, which is inseparable from the master's personality...
Retsu Unohana feared that her sword was too fast, that it would kill people and prevent her from enjoying the thrill of battle, so she awakened the power of healing.
Kenpachi Zaraki didn't have many thoughts in his mind; his heart was only focused on moving forward without hesitation. Therefore, Kenpachi Zaraki's Zanpakuto was a clean and decisive force, a terrifying Zanpakuto capable of cutting through anything!
As for Kuruyashiki Kenpachi, he's someone who can never be satisfied with fighting!
It was precisely because of his insatiable thirst for battle that he ultimately created that biological Zanpakuto that can devour everything! No matter how much it consumes, it is never satisfied!
"Boring!"
"It's pathetic that my sword can't even help Lord Sōgo Shihoin!"
"Hateful..."
Among all the Kenpachi series, Sōya Azashiro probably an exception. He never wanted to become Kenpachi or the strongest Soul Reaper in Soul Society. The only reason he challenged Kuruyashiki Kenpachi was that he could become the captain of the Gotei 13 and clear his family's name! Just like his appearance, he was never interested in fighting or becoming the strongest. He was a quiet person who preferred stillness to movement!
Sōya Azashiro rarely referred to himself as Kenpachi, because in his heart he never truly defeated Kuruyashiki Kenpachi. Firstly, Kuruyashiki Kenpachi was completely unaware of his abilities. Secondly, if Kuruyashiki Kenpachi Kuruyashiki Kenpachi Bankai his Bankai at that moment, given its range Bankai wouldn't have survived either! However, Kuruyashiki Kenpachi Kuruyashiki Kenpachi concerned for the others present. He knew that if he Bankai, likely everyone present would perish, so Kuruyashiki Kenpachi chose to give up.
That's why, in Sōya Azashiro's eyes, that battle was actually a draw...
What annoyed Sōya Azashiro was actually only one thing: he couldn't help Sōgo Shihoin. That was all!
" Sōgo..."
Shaoling Fon looked at Sōgo Shihoin, who was standing in front of Yhwach, with great concern Sōgo Shihoin's side for hundreds of years!
In her eyes, Sōgo was already her family, an inseparable part of her life! Seeing Yhwach unleash such earth-shattering, terrifying power that caused chaos throughout the Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, and the Human World, she felt a pang of worry!
It wasn't that she didn't trust Sōgo Shihoin enough; it was just the worry that was unavoidable for a family member!
Don't worry~
Yoruichi Shihōin patted Shaoling Fon on the shoulder, looking very confident.
" Sōgo is the strongest child in the Shihōin Clan! He's invincible."
Yoruichi had unwavering faith in her younger brother. She had watched Sōgo since he was Sōgo Shihoin in absolute esteem. She knew that her brother, the boy who defeated their father at the age of five and tore off Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai at the age of ten, possessed the power to reverse everything and defeat all enemies.
"My brother is the strongest!"
Both Sanka Shihoin and Yushiro Shihōin, children of the Shihōin Clan, have absolute trust in their older brother. Who wouldn't believe that a brother who seems to have cheat codes all the time is invincible!?
I have complete confidence in Sōgo Shihoin!
Lilynette looked at Shaoling Fon with a hint of disdain, whose eyes showed worry. In her eyes, there was only absolute trust in Sōgo Shihoin. Perhaps it was because she was Menos Grande herself, and her thinking was relatively simple. Ever since she was saved by Sōgo Shihoin and gave up her split, she firmly believed that Sōgo Shihoin omnipotent.
I also believe in Sōgo.
Tier Harribel crossed her arms over her ample bosom, silently gazing at what lay before her. She was someone who disliked, or rather, was incapable of, expressing her feelings. Her love for Sōgo was ingrained in her Sōgo, and when Sōgo Shihoin against his enemies, she would unconditionally trust Sōgo Shihoin...
" Sōgo..."
Kaien Shiba, a man who should have died in history, also gazed at Sōgo Shihoin figure.
" Sōgo!"
Kūkaku Shiba, who had lost all trust in the Seireitei and had his arm severed, was now unharmed and was also looking at Sōgo's back.
Sōjun Kuchiki, like many others, was destined to die; he was a victim of the power struggle!
Kōga Kuchiki, the powerful figure who had been eliminated by those who feared the Kuchiki Clan, was now standing unharmed behind Sōgo!
Countless people who should have died in their original timelines are alive and well! They are all alive!
This is all because of what Sōgo Shihoin did!
Yhwach...
"Can you really become a god!?"
Sōgo Shihoin stood in front of Yhwach and asked Yhwach a question.
"I am God!"
Yhwach didn't understand why Sōgo Shihoin was asking him this, but his attitude was firm. Yhwach had never thought about whether he could become a god, because he himself was a god!
Some people spend their whole lives searching but can never stand in the sky!
Some people are born in heaven, destined to stand in heaven!
Yhwach never felt he had done anything wrong, including his idea of reuniting the three realms...
This world was originally one, but it was separated because of his father's great power. He just wanted to take back the power his father used to maintain the three realms, and there was nothing wrong with that!
The mistake wasn't his to begin with. Gods don't make mistakes; everything God does is right. The ones who made the mistake were those self-proclaimed Soul Reaper who killed God! A bunch of humans masquerading as gods!
You are not a god!
Sōgo Shihoin shook his head; he disagreed with Yhwach's words.
You're just a part of this world!
"You are no different from Soul Reaper and humans; you are all part of this world!"
There is no God in this world!
As Sōgo Shihoin spoke, he swung his Zanpakuto.
Sōgo Shihoin never believed that anyone in this world could stand in the sky and become a god, including himself. He was just a person with some power!
Sōgo Shihoin never considered himself a god, so he could save anyone who wasn't dead yet, but he wouldn't save those who were already dead. Although he had the ability to do so, he wouldn't; he wasn't a god, and he would never become one! So at this moment, as Yhwach proclaimed himself a god, Sōgo Shihoin swung his Zanpakuto!
You're wrong! Completely wrong...
"There is a God in this world, and He is standing before you right now!"
"It's a pity you're blind; you can't even recognize who the true god is!"
Upon seeing Sōgo Shihoin his sword, Yhwach immediately gripped his Quincy sword and charged forward.
"Ding~"
With a soft sound, Yhwach's Quincy -Soul Reaper like cleaver gently collided with Sōgo Shihoin's Quincy sword!
The two swords clashed seemingly uneventfully, without producing any aftershocks!
However, upon closer inspection, a shocking clash was unfolding between the knives in the hands of the two men!
It was as if countless worlds were being created between the two men's swords, and in an instant, countless worlds were being destroyed!
This is no longer a traditional head-on clash! This is a clash between rules!
"I am the God who created everything; I can give power to all living beings!"
"And all you bring is destruction!"
"How could someone like you possibly be my match!?"
Yhwach gripped the sword in his hand, seemingly unsurprised that he could block Sōgo Shihoin's blade, which could cut through anything.
"Think it over carefully, Yhwach!"
Are you creating everything, or destroying everything?
"Look at the Quincy you created! How many are left now?!"
Sōgo Shihoin shook his head. Yhwach does not represent creation, but rather the existence of destruction.
