Bleach: The Captain of the Fifth Division Becomes Stronger Through Training.

Chapter 353, Section 362: My Zanpakuto
bang bang bang...

The continuous booming sounds, like thunder from the heavens, echoed from the distant high platform.

And amidst it all was the hysterical roar of a certain man.

"brute!!!"

"Bastard thing!!!"

"Something even more despicable than frog piss!!!"

The invisible empire is Yhwach's foundation.

Although, in essence, all Quincy exist to offer everything to Yhwach.

However... the founder of the Quincy was by no means a 'shortsighted' person.

Like raising livestock.

They were raised from weak and helpless lambs until they multiplied and eventually formed a herd that could roam freely in search of food.

Yhwach didn't care about the resources required for this.

The only thing that gave him a headache was 'time'.

Yes.

It takes time for a group to develop, reproduce, and continue to thrive generation after generation before it can reach a sufficient number.

That's what ethnic groups are all about.

The same is true of the so-called invisible empire.

Even if Yhwach viewed these 'descendants' as something akin to blood bags, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

When will we be able to cultivate this many again?

So alone.

It was rather embarrassing.

This is why Yhwach harbors such resentment towards Shizuya Arima.

The other party destroyed everything he had set up, making all his hard work go to waste at this moment.

Verbal venting is merely a way to breathe out the anger in one's heart; otherwise, the accumulated and surging emotions will completely engulf a person.

Even someone as noble as Yhwach, the founder of the Quincy, was not immune to the common fate.

And after venting.

The panting figure finally calmed down.

He stood there, rooted to the spot.

A chilling and terrifying aura emanated from its body, rising and falling with each breath, swirling around it, like some kind of monster mimicking human form...

Royal Guard.

After removing Arima Shizuya and Ishida Uryu.

Looking at the remaining people from a distance, they appeared somewhat sparse and incomplete.

Yhwabach's anger went unanswered.

Even Ridge Barrow, the captain of the Royal Guard, could only bury his head in his hands, like a sinner awaiting execution...

They had absolutely no ability to resist.

"millennium!"

"Savings, a plan I've been preparing for so long!"

"Why do we have to be hindered at a time like this?! And it has to be this most insignificant, least worthy of our attention!"

Not only did Yhwach lose control of his emotions, but his aura also began to erupt, creating a surging wave that shattered and scattered everything around him.

"You...and what about you?!"

Why did you just stand by and watch me suffer?

"Aren't you the royal guard?! Shouldn't you be willing to risk your lives to protect me?!"

It's hard to say whether it was simply misplaced anger or whether there was genuine 'malice' directed at everyone present.

Yhwach suddenly turned around.

And at this moment, the aura emanating from him finally dissipated somewhat.

The members of the royal guard who knelt on the ground were able to see the double pupils flashing in Yhwach's eyes.

Needless to say.

The progenitor of the Quincy has reclaimed the power that was stripped away a thousand years ago.

He once again embraced 'omniscience and omnipotence' and at this moment knew all the connections between the past, present, and future.

Like an alien creature detached from the river of time, this commanding and awe-inspiring presence is precisely the source of its ability to 'handle things with ease'.

but……

This emotion did not appear in Yhwach.

His heart was filled with indescribable anger at this moment, and the reason for it was quite straightforward and simple.

Why would such a perfect plan be thwarted by such an unknown guy?

It was precisely because he was well-prepared and had a long-term vision that Yhwach was able to appear so confident and flamboyant.

Because he firmly believed that no one else could, like him, stand on a millennium-long scale and define the proper outline of everything...

To put it bluntly.

Yhwach should rightfully be the player on the chessboard.

He can hold the life and death of everyone in his hands, and he should also have absolute control over the pieces!
But what is the truth?
The truth is... the chess piece named 'Arima Shizuya' not only broke free of control, but even jumped up and slapped him hard.

The word "incomprehensible" is not even a fraction of the emotion I felt at that moment.

From Yhwach's perspective, he simply couldn't understand what was happening. And after regaining his power... that emotion transformed into anger.

The King of Spirit's interference caused his hatred for everything to surge and grow continuously!
"His Majesty……"

No reason.

Another voice came from beside Yhwach.

He silently turned his head slightly to the side, shifting his gaze elsewhere.

The two pupils appear side by side in one eye socket, making it impossible to judge the other person's gaze or guess their intentions.

Such a design is, in essence, a symbol of deterrence.

At this moment, Yhwach further amplified this sense of oppression to its extreme through his words and actions.

His gaze shifted, his breathing became even.

Yhwach called out the other person's name indifferently.

"Hasward...is there anything you want to say?"

A sudden calm.

However, this was by no means an act of calming down.

This is actually a kind of stagnant, unyielding tension, an accumulation before an explosion in another sense.

Without a doubt, if Haschward's actions at this moment do not meet Yhwach's expectations... then the other party's fate will be anything but dignified!
The guards who knelt down to the side were now covered in sweat.

The tension among the crowd was building, but even now, facing the tyrant who had revealed his true colors, Haschward was still able to maintain a basic level of composure.

He opened his mouth slightly.

His gaze was lowered downwards, and he spoke in a calm tone.

"Your Majesty... Squad Zero has also been deployed."

An unexpected statement.

This not only silenced the Quincy progenitor, who was on the verge of exploding, but also allowed him to refocus his thoughts and shift his attention to other matters.

"Squad Zero..."

He repeated Hasward's words.

I want to chew it thoroughly and swallow it.

Yhwach's tone became serious, but in an instant... it revealed a hint of unintentional contempt.

"Those bastards, who are not even scum, what face do they have to show their faces in front of me?!"

However... this is also a kind of pleasure in another sense.

After all, Yhwach had now regained all of his power.

Naturally, he could also recall the humiliation and what he had seen and heard a thousand years ago, so... rather than anger, Yhwach felt more of an expectation at this moment.

He was already eager to face his former rival again and kill him on the spot.

His mind, now distracted, stopped Yhwach from dwelling on other things. His gaze remained unfocused, but his tone had returned to calm.

"Three...no, two days."

"I need to rest for another two days. I need time to get used to this power."

"When the time comes, we will set off immediately... to settle all grudges."

Within this vast, invisible empire, all the remaining living beings now reside here.

Faced with Yhwach's proclamation... no one could refuse; everyone could only lower their heads and accept this instruction from above.

The will of a tyrant is beyond question and no one is allowed to oppose it.

There was no room for refusal.

At this moment, all the people present could do was accept it.

……

"You have all heard it, haven't you?"

Mayuri Kurotsuchi pressed the instrument beside him, his pale fingertips twitching slightly as he adjusted the frequency band he had captured.

Yhwach's resentful voice came from behind in a hoarse tone.

"Two days from now is the day that guy launches his counterattack... Before that, we must make full preparations."

The first to respond were not the members of the Gotei 13, but a certain 'guy' who had come from afar.

Shutara Senjumaru tilted his head slightly, his eyes sparkling with curiosity.

"You... you really do make some annoying little things."

A vein bulged prominently on Mayuri Kurotsuchi's head.

"What did you say?"

Kisuke Urahara tried his best to comfort her, but it seemed that this only had the opposite effect.
"Haha, after all, it reflects Captain Nekomamushi's unique taste; it has a very personal style~"

Kirinji Tenjimaru chuckled softly, unusually defending those outside the Zero Squad.

"What does it matter? As long as it helps us deal with Yhwach... As for the methods, in my opinion, they are completely irrelevant to discussion."

With his broad shoulders and hearty laughter, Hyosugi Ichibei crossed his arms and spoke loudly at that moment.

"That's exactly right! We don't need to be concerned about morality and rules when it comes to that despicable Quincy."

After all, this kind of thing was done a thousand years ago.

Now that I've picked it up again and am doing it once more, there's naturally no mental pressure involved.

Looking at the noisy group of people in the distance, Soi Fon couldn't help but frown and mutter to herself as she stood in the queue.

"These guys are really outgoing..."

Hearing the noise, Hirako Shinji turned his head slightly and said softly.

"After all, he was the former captain. It would be strange if he acted too distant, wouldn't it?"

Komamura Sajin gave a subtle snort, offering a sharp critique.

I don't think there's a problem!

This is an invalid comment... Snow Leopard, please shut up for now.

At the same time, compared to the captains who were familiar with the existence of the Zero Division, there were indeed some guys who were completely 'out of the loop' at this moment.

For example, Toshiro Hitsugaya.

He looked around twice, his expression becoming very puzzled.

"Where did these guys come from?"

Standing beside him, Halibel remained expressionless, silently looking at her side.

The other Espada present also wore puzzled expressions, except for former No. 2 Barragan, who seemed to give a disdainful snort.

Only this former king of Hueco Mundo, who lived long enough, could understand these strange and wonderful things.

"What do you know, Barragan?"

"I understand, but is there any need for me to explain it to you?!"

"Information exchange is also an obligation of a partner..."

"I'm not one of your comrades! You lot should all be my subordinates!"

Nel, who was standing at the edge, gave Stark a nudge.

"That guy is saying weird things again. Shouldn't we teach him a lesson?"

Stark, slightly regaining his senses, pondered for a moment before looking up and speaking.

"If he likes it that much... it wouldn't be a bad idea to make him number one, would it?"

"No, no, no, you need to stand up straight!!!"

The noisy atmosphere began to spread, and even the most mild-tempered person could now easily find someone to disagree with.

There are more and more things that need explaining...

Only in such circumstances does the so-called captain have any 'meaning of existence'.

"Alright, alright... everyone, please calm down."

Kyoraku Shunsui was accompanied by the old man, who understood that it was no longer appropriate for him to show his face in public at this time...

But no way.

Even with Kyoraku Shunsui's prestige, it would be quite difficult to suppress this group of demons and monsters.

If you flaunt your old face, people will still be willing to give you some face.

"Let's start from the beginning..."

"What is certain at present is that Yhwach and his men will return in two days."

"But before that, we need to rebuild and transform Soul Society so that it can withstand that level of chaos... Everyone, is that alright?"

Hyosube Ichibei responded.

"exactly!"

Soul Society is the foundation of the Soul King's Palace.

To log in to the latter, you must first defeat the Gotei 13.

This is also the purpose of the Zero Division's descent to the mortal realm.

If Yhwach could be dealt with outside of the Spirit King's palace, that would be ideal.

Therefore, the reasons for joining forces at this moment are naturally the most sufficient and powerful.

"Then can't we launch a counterattack? At this point, Yhwach should still be in a relatively weak state, right?"

Many people share this view, and Kyoraku Shunsui completely understands it.

But unfortunately...

"We cannot find the specific coordinates of the invisible empire."

Even with the positioning device, it was no use. It can only be said that after the earlier surprise attack by Shizuya Arima, the Quincy side had indeed gained a lot of experience.

Since it's impossible, there's nothing we can do about it.

We can only accept the facts.

But then again...

Where did Arima Shizuka go?

Almost at the same time.

Outside the venue, Shizuka Arima was extending her right hand to the person in front of her.

"Where's my Zanpakuto? Give it back to me."
