The sky, the earth, the three realms... have collapsed.
When the invincible Sōgo Shihoin clashed with Yhwach, it was no longer a clash between Spiritual Pressure Spiritual Pressure, but a confrontation between orders!
Yhwach was never a god who symbolized life. He may seem to symbolize life and rebirth, but that is not the case. What Yhwach symbolizes is... destruction!
Those he grants power to will be destroyed, the world he creates will be destroyed, and everything he touches will be destroyed!
Yhwach never symbolized creation; he has always been synonymous with destruction!
"Destruction! Chaos! Death..."
" Yhwach, you call yourself a god, but you are at best a life form that exists only at the lowest level!"
"You can never rise to the level of a true god because you don't know how to think, and you can never understand the true meaning of every life's existence in this world!"
While Sōgo Shihoin blocked Yhwach's Quincy blade with his sword, he didn't stop talking; he kept attacking Yhwach with his incessant chatter!
The meaning of life...
"Hahaha..."
"What a ridiculous question! Don't you understand now?!"
"That's true, though. Although you, Sōgo Shihoin, possess power comparable to a god, there's one thing you can never compare to! That is, Sōgo Shihoin, your body contains the inherent weaknesses of a human being; you are still as weak and insignificant as a mortal!"
"Perhaps only after you, Sōgo Shihoin, personally create a race will you understand one thing: the difference between gods and living beings. I am honored that I shot down and created the Quincy race!"
"Because I am the creator of the entire Quincy race, I understand, I understand the meaning of the Quincy race, I comprehend all the mysteries, and I know everything in this world!"
"So, Sōgo Shihoin, can you understand how I feel now!?"
"If, and I mean if, you still can't understand me after hearing what I've said, then I'm sorry, I can only say that you Sōgo Shihoin, are nothing more than a reptile, completely incapable of understanding the meaning of life."
Yhwach looked at Sōgo Shihoin with a condescending gaze.
He's probably the only person in the world who dares to look down on Sōgo Shihoin!
Whether it's Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, or even the entire World of the Living, no one dares to underestimate Sōgo Shihoin. Yet Yhwach dared to look down on Sōgo Shihoin. This wasn't a matter of underestimating his strength, but simply a matter of disdain based on his level of cultivation!
In the eyes of Yhwach the Son of the Soul King, standing at the pinnacle of everything, he could look down on everyone. He was born different from others; he was the great son of the Son of the Soul King, high above, looking down upon all living beings! From the moment he was born, he possessed the power and strength to crush everything!
This power wasn't given to him by others; he earned it through his own abilities!
" Sōgo Shihoin, there's too much trash and rubbish in this world!"
"I'm just too incredibly strong!"
"I hope that everyone, whether they are Soul Reaper, Hollows, or humans, can understand each other!"
" Sōgo Shihoin, I think you know what I'm talking about. The premise for humans, Soul Reaper, and Hollows to understand each other is that they can live in the same world. We don't need barriers; as long as we live together, we will eventually understand each other!"
"After all, whether they are Hollows or Soul Reaper, including those I chose to become Quincy, they were all just human beings at the beginning..."
"Does Sōgo Shihoin understand what I'm saying now!? You're not blocking me, you're blocking destiny! Do you think you, as a human, can block destiny!?"
If you're full of confidence in yourself, then give it a try!
Yhwach saw himself as destiny, or rather, he didn't just see himself as destiny, he believed himself to be destiny from the very beginning!
Yhwach was created as a countermeasure by the world to prevent external invasion, and he considers himself the grandson of the world and the son of the Soul King!
As a product of the world and the Soul King, Yhwach is countless times stronger than anyone else! Whether it's a Menos Grande struggling to evolve or a Shinigami with a weak body who can't even get close to him without Captain-level Spiritual Pressure, they are all too Soul Reaper in his eyes. Let alone being fatal, they can't even accept their fate in his hands.
What he needs is a sufficiently robust body, like Sōgo Shihoin's...
Because only such a body could approach him and prove his existence; he was an ultimate life form that surpassed his father, the great Soul King!
"It may be fate!"
"Even a great god!"
"None of those are what I'm after!"
"My pursuit has long surpassed the ends of the earth, reaching heights unattainable by any mortal!"
"The battle between Soul Reaper is a battle of Spiritual Pressure!"
"What I seek is that being with absolute Spiritual Pressure!"
Szayelaporro kept a close eye on Yhwach until Yhwach uttered a line that surprised him, at which point he made his decision, because no one else would say such a thing.
"The battle Soul Reaper is a battle of Spiritual Pressure," said Sōsuke Aizen. After understanding the essence of Soul Reaper, did he abandon all his Kidō Zanjutsu and throw them all into that discarded mess?
"Absolute Spiritual Pressure..."
"Who dares to claim absolute Spiritual Pressure!? Who in this world possesses absolute Spiritual Pressure!?"
Just getting close to Yhwach would result in being crushed by his immense Spiritual Pressure, but Yhwach doesn't actually want to kill many people in this situation, so he has no choice but to completely hide his other side!
When Yhwach unleashed his Breath of Fire and reached a level of Spiritual Pressure that was overwhelming, Sōgo Shihoin realized that it was all just a game to make Yhwach meet his standards...
Actually, his battle with Yhwach wasn't important; what mattered was that Yhwach was powerful enough!
Because only the most powerful can uphold the Three Realms and become the new Soul King...
"So this is what you planned!?"
Sōgo Shihoin posed a question to the void, hoping it would answer him.
This is a collision between two timelines; from this moment on, it's no longer a simple battle!
This is a clash between concepts! Between humans and gods, between humans and gods who do not belong to this world!
I'm planning to expedite the delivery of this week's "Between God and Aliens"...
Once the souls are identified, everything will change. No one will be among the next batch to directly become a god!
"I must complete my special mission within this mission!"
Sōgo Shihoin thought for a while and decided to work hard to become someone who could rule the entire world as soon as possible, simply because he realized that no matter what he did, he would eventually surpass it. We don't negotiate with logistics!
Ultimately, a demerit or no result makes no difference! This battle felt like a replay of ten years ago!
"These are all useless communications tools, nothing more than the most cowardly guys produced in some city!"
"Hahaha..."
You can actually ignore Yhwach Soul Reaper!
" Yhwach, look, Soul Reaper is emerging from the sky! It's like a very peculiar restricted area has appeared!"
"Humans cannot survive in this world without the resolve to die!"
"After all, humanity's destination is the final resting place; what harm would a little more restraint do at that point!?"
The brief one-minute restraint subjected everything to the geothermal bombardment! Yhwach was high above, ruling and controlling everything; whatever he decided was always right, and whatever he disliked was always wrong!
Yhwach is the only great god in this world!
"To rule, to create, to dominate! And to the Almighty!"
Sōgo Shihoin softly recited Yhwach's four abilities. These girls, who seemed to have cheat codes, finally obtained the love they desired! Sōgo Shihoin also finally understood the principles behind Yhwach's abilities!
The reason he was so badly beaten at the beginning was because he was completely unaware of his own strength and uncertain about his abilities. Now that he has everything under control, it's time to take back everything he has lost!
"The battle is not over yet! The real battle has only just begun!"
Yhwach is someone who's just one step away from success; in reality, he doesn't understand anything, let alone how to sell things that others can't get!
The man who was prepared to sell everything panicked after hearing Yhwach's words!
After all, Yhwach is a supreme and great god who stands above all!
Anyone who utters the name Yhwach will feel a chill run down their spine!
After all, he was second only to the Soul King, the great son of the Son of the Soul King of this world!
" Bankai!"
Sōgo Shihoin had no intention of letting Yhwach have his way. He instantly activated his Bankai, ready to finish his battle with the enemy in a split second!
The vast majority of Soul Reaper's power comes from his Zanpakuto!
When Zanpakuto Bankai, its power is directly doubled. Even Sōgo Shihoin is no exception to this increase. Before Sōgo Shihoin's Shikai, he was extremely uneasy!
When the Soul Reaper realized he couldn't unleash his Zanpakuto, he was utterly disappointed!
Cut everything down! Sayafushi!
Sougo Shihouin uttered the simple release incantation and directly released his Zanpakuto, Sheath Fuku. This sword was the strongest weapon Sougo Shihouin could obtain for Ichigo in an hour!
"The evolutionary path of Soul Reaper is nothing more than the Shikai Zanpakuto Bankai of their Zanpakuto!"
"This guy's evolutionary path is actually more interesting than I imagined!"
"Perhaps, as Sōsuke Aizen told me, unless you are immortal, you can never repay this debt!"
He, the head of the Shihoin, is a person who keeps up with the times!
"Interesting!"
Sōgo Shihoin quickly noticed something was wrong. No matter how he gripped the Sayafushi or how he attacked, he found that his attacks could not cause any effective damage to Yhwach!
"It seems like the power of Soul Reaper can't harm you at all!"
"Just like your power is essentially above everything else!"
"But so what!?"
"This world has never lacked those whose power fundamentally crushes others!"
What this world will always lack are people who can lead others on major global issues!
"Can you understand what I'm saying!?"
"To try to unify the world is an act of utter cowardice!"
"Since a mistake has occurred, correcting it is what we should be doing!"
Sōgo Shihoin roared loudly. He looked down on Yhwach, thinking that the man in front of him was far inferior to the Soul King!
"Son of the Soul King, compared to the true Soul King, you are far too inferior and utterly incapable of achieving the expected goals!"
"You can't sell anything through commercial performances; you simply don't have the same kind of boldness Soul King!"
" The Soul King had actually planned this from the beginning. Soul King already saw that you would become a sacrifice, but since you saw it, I will naturally tell him!"
Sōgo Shihoin spoke to the person in front of him, explaining his decision.
" The Soul King planned this from the very beginning!?"
Yhwach was taken aback. He didn't understand what Sōgo Shihoin was talking about. He didn't understand what it meant to have figured everything out from the beginning!
" Yhwach, you still don't understand!"
"But it doesn't matter because I already know everything!"
"What follows is nothing more than a boring battle!"
Sōgo Shihoin's eyes seemed to see the future; he seemed to know everything and had already prepared the cola to celebrate!
" Yhwach, it seems you've grown tired of everything too!"
"In that case, let's end this!"
Sōgo Shihoin spoke, he completed the final release of his Zanpakuto.
"It seems illusions are meaningless to you too!"
He sighed helplessly, having been Sōgo Shihoin his attacks on Yhwach more than Yhwach. He had thought the genjutsu might work!
It seems the only way to defeat Sōgo Shihoin is to defeat him head-on!
"Then let's go!"
"Then let the world's final battle begin!"
" Sōgo Shihoin, you may never know what failure tastes like in your entire life, but luckily, you're about to find out!"
"Because I will give you all failures, including your current failure!"
"I am the one who stands at the very pinnacle of this world!"
"I am Yhwach, the God of all life, the son of the Soul King!"
Yhwach stood with his hands inside his black trench coat, coldly watching Sōgo Shihoin, as if victory was already in his grasp, and everything was going according to Yhwach's plan!
Victory now belongs to Yhwach!
