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

Chapter 369, Section 378: The Unyielding Killing Tomb

A literal act of arrogance.

But the other side also has its own reasons for its confidence.

After all, Yhwach had now completely reclaimed all the power that belonged to him.

As prophesied in the past, the progenitor of the Quincy became the end of everything, and at this moment he slowly walked towards the Spirit King Palace.

A scene brimming with oppressive atmosphere.

Just by watching the other party approach, the three of them had already assumed their stances.

So……

The problem becomes apparent at this moment.

"Want to come at me together?"

It was Aizen Sousuke who spoke first.

He looked calmly to his side, as if the matter had nothing to do with him, and he was merely a detached participant at this moment...

However, the reality is quite similar.

After all, Aizen Sousuke's abilities are not suited for direct attacks; even if he wanted to take action, he could only provide support.

not to mention……

At this moment, Aizen Sousuke did not have much desire.

He didn't care at all about the survival of the world, the future of Soul Society, or any of those things.

The reason I'm standing here now is, at best, simply for someone's wish.

Yes.

That's it.

"I have no objection."

Aizen Sousuke made his statement, and Arima Shizuka, standing beside him, seemed to want to say something, but before he could speak...

The clerk, Ichibei, had already stood up on his own.

"What a joke! Allowing outsiders to interfere in the Spirit King Palace is already an overstepping of the bounds. If I were to let you die in front of me, that would be an equal disgrace!"

Take a deep breath.

The red-eyed monk raised the long, thin pen in his hand, his eyes widening slightly as he gazed at Yhwach in the distance.

So, so.

"King of the Quincy, let me be your opponent!"

Seeing the Hyosube already in position, Yhwach's pupils trembled slightly.

A cautious and careful fellow.

Even under these circumstances, he would still observe the future as closely as possible to ensure that he remained invincible from beginning to end.

And at this very moment, having witnessed the end of countless timelines... Yhwach made his judgment on Hyosube.

"Stupid choice."

Instead of joining the others, he stubbornly chose to uphold the bottom line of the 'Zero Squad' and persist in his stance by fighting alone.

This behavior...

It's completely meaningless.

Because he saw through everything and controlled everything, Habach was able to choose to 'give up' so easily.

The lives of those under their command, the power they cultivate, the loyalty of others, and so on...

These are all like chips.

It was at the cost of being placed on the scales of balance, allowing Habach to continue moving forward.

Nothing is sacrificial except one's own life—which is why, even when he saw the ultimate fate of the Royal Guard, he still did not have the thought of making corrections or changes.

That's good, or rather, that's the best way.

This world is something created by the Spirit King, so it should rightfully belong to me, Habach!

As the descendants of the founder, what's wrong with wanting to freely express their true nature in this private domain?
Yhwach, son of the King of Souls, made this assertion at this moment.

"Your self-perceived sacrifices are meaningless."

"Because the guy sitting on the dome is just an idiot who refuses to look directly at himself."

"He won't even communicate with you personally, and has maintained that aloof attitude all this time... How arrogant."

By comparison.

“You guys who fawn over the king and try to gain his favor are just as pathetic in my eyes.”

Literally, it refers to psychological attacks.

Although there were no actual profanities, for the members of Squad Zero, the impact of those words was ridiculously exaggerated...

It's hard to imagine why this guy's eloquence is so exaggerated compared to the original story.

But no matter what.

At this moment, Ichibei, the clerk of the corps, was indeed enraged.

The monk remained silent, simply releasing his Zanpakuto in that moment.

The slash of Ichimonji and the spirit blade formed by Yhwach collided in mid-air, and the aftershocks of their spiritual power even affected the Soul Society below.

Having just escaped the battle with the royal guards, the group now felt a strong sense of dizziness.

The phenomenon of top-heavy and unsteady is everywhere, as if an invisible earth dragon is rolling and struggling at the bottom of Soul Society... No matter how you think about it, it seems exaggerated and terrifying.

and so.

"What on earth are those people up there doing right now?!"

No one answered, not even the then-captain, Kyoraku Shunsui.

Now, no matter what happens, all the people in the lower realm can do is quietly wait for the outcome.

Bang... Bang... Bang!

The blades clashed and collided.

Bright sparks flew from the spirit blade in Yhwach's hand, but the weapon in the War Registrar's hand was gloomy and somber...

No matter how many times they clashed, no matter how many rounds of spiritual energy clashing... this Ichimonji couldn't make the slightest sound.

Only the black ink, visible to the naked eye, was constantly splashing and gushing at this moment.

It was only until it was contaminated by Yhwach.

"..."

The silent progenitor of the Quincy looked at the marks on his body.

He was very clear about the origin, function, and purpose of these things.

After all, under the cover of omniscience and omnipotence... what the other party knows is all that Yhwach can observe.

He was like a skilled thief.

After a brief encounter, they can accurately locate deeper areas, penetrate them, and then greedily share and absorb what others have seen and heard.

Nothing can escape his eyes.

The same applies to the so-called Zero Squad.

"Haven't I already said that?"

It seems that they have completely lost interest in what is called playing around.

At that moment, Yhwach gently flicked his right hand.

As the blue light dissipated, the spiritual particles swirling around him began to twist again, eventually transforming into an even more magnificent and surging shape.

Ignore unnecessary probing.

It omits things that are useless in the literal sense.

Yhwach's arrival was not for the purpose of determining who was stronger or vying for the title of the strongest in the three realms...

His purpose in coming was very simple.

It was just a son wanting to voice his accusations against his irresponsible father.

"Make way, Ichibei, the Registrar of the Army."

call……

A tremendous power condensed and surged in an instant, finally forming a deep blue sky that reflected as it pressed down upon Hyosube. Such a burst of power would leave an ordinary person with absolutely no chance of survival… but since the opponent was the face of the Zero Squad, it was naturally not that simple.

"Ah."

With a soft hum, the monk clasped his hands together, then suddenly opened them wide, his eyes bulging.

"A thousand thorns pierce through the barrier, and ten thousand bones are annihilated..."

"Ura-Hado, Fifth Path, Steel Needle Rain!"

A surge of spiritual particles, no less powerful than Habach's, began to surge wildly, and at this moment, a fierce battle ensued...

The two bystanders reacted very differently.

Arima Shizuka also wore a thoughtful expression, as if she had suddenly remembered something. Aizen Sousuke, standing to the side, watched calmly, then spoke softly.

"Arima-kun, does seeing this remind you of anything?"

Highly suggestive language.

At this moment, Arima Shizuka also frowned.

There was something that seemed to be about to emerge at this moment, but in the end, it still lacked the so-called 'final step'.

I can't figure it out, I can't recall it.

Just then, the light behind them began to flicker, and soon after, Kurosaki Ichigo and Ishida Uryu's figures flashed and leaped out lightly.

These two have already arrived...

There were no surprises; it seemed everyone present was prepared for the two to arrive.

but……

Only one person.

Only Yorhabakh, who seemed to have everything under control, showed a clear expression of surprise at this moment.

Why are these two people here?
"Surprising, isn't it? Habach is there."

The monk's offensive showed no signs of abating. Taking advantage of the moment when his opponent was stunned, he even let out a hearty laugh and continued to slash at Yohabakh with his 'pen'.

"But shouldn't you have anticipated this situation?"

"After all, how could someone as stingy, cautious, and thoughtful as you not have imagined it..."

"Could we also find your weaknesses?"

Habach chose to remain silent.

But that didn't mean he gave up the argument. He just gave Ishida Uryu a rather fierce look and glared at him intently.

Omniscient and omnipotent.

As an ability rooted in Habach, it is also the key to his ability to orchestrate everything...

This absolute power that can influence the timeline should, in theory, be of the supreme type.

After all, he was the son of King Ling.

They should be showered with love and affection, born with blessings and expectations.

But this is what they mean by things not going as planned... The Quincy are an abandoned race, as the name suggests, disliked by the Creator.

Should Quincy really not exist?
Habach could not make a definitive statement, but regarding his abilities... it led the tyrant to believe countless times that he was the most special kind of person.

Even though he has not received any favor, he is still the ultimate person who inherits the power of the Spirit King.

however.

That's not the case...

Ishida Uryu's awakened ability is almost identical in rank to that of Yhwach.

Completely opposite.

Just as the literal description suggests.

This ability has the unique power to reflect all effects, damage, and status conditions received by oneself, thus making the other party suffer the consequences of their own actions.

After realizing this situation, Habakh fell into a state of near panic more than once.

He was not a qualified monarch.

But he is definitely a grumpy, irritable, and indecisive overgrown child.

By designating Ishida Uryu as the successor to the Wandenreich, and having everyone praise him, slander him, and observe him...

Use every possible method.

Try to reclaim this ability.

But all these attempts ended in failure... Intuition told Yhwach that he absolutely could not use his abilities on Uryu Ishida.

Sorrow, resentment, even jealousy.

Such emotions have surged in my heart more than once.

—The mere realization that he was not unique completely shattered Habach's sense of superiority.

And at this moment.

He saw this unexpected person.

Finally... he could no longer suppress his anger.

"You bunch of... damned bastards!!!"

As he roared, Habach seemed to have completely torn off his mask of pretense. He raised his right hand and roared, at which moment his body shimmered with a gloomy light.

The sky became dull and chaotic at this moment.

Even the sunlight seemed to be gathered away at this moment.

Something is coming.

While Shizuya Arima and the others were still oblivious to the situation, Hyosube, who were in the middle of the field, had already realized something...

And at that moment, he showed a rather surprised expression.

"You...could it be..."

"It's the one you're thinking of, Hyosube Ichibei!"

Black clumps of matter began to gather on Habach's right hand, and these things twisted and pieced together in an instant, eventually forming a towering and eerie outline.

Black and white intertwine and collide in the air.

Like a painter's brush, a temple-like outline emerges from the simple sketches...

Hyosube Ichibei was standing on the path made of rubble.

"Don't turn to the Taisha Mausoleum."

Habach turned halfway around, sat down imposingly on the steps, and gazed down at the monk with eyes not far in front of him.

"Ichibei, Hyoshubu."

"You plan to seize the hundred nights of the Soul Society a hundred years from now, to use all the darkness as your advantage, to completely disintegrate my body, soul, and consciousness, until I return to chaos and nothingness."

"So this is your plan, your ultimate trump card, isn't it?"

They completely saw through the other party's intentions and plans.

Although Habach's tone was calm at this moment, the implications it conveyed were enough to make the monk feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

"But I've already said that."

"These eyes will not miss anything."

"This applies to your past, present, and even future."

Habach raised his right hand and pointed gently at the monk with the eye not far away...

He spoke in a calm and steady tone.

"I will not die by such despicable means."

"Only you... pitiful and pathetic Grim Reaper."

"Drown in the falsehood you believe to be true."

Blackness began to surge.
