With the sound of arrows piercing the air, Sugimoto slowly closed his eyes. He seemed to already see his imminent death, a tragic end he had long anticipated...

Sugimoto only hoped that his fellow soldiers could quickly retreat, return to their respective squads, report the battle situation to their captains, and receive their protection.

"touch~"

Just as Shanmu saw his 'death' imminent, a gentle breeze blew, and the arrow that was about to pierce him was swatted away...

Sugiki squinted as the breeze blew, but he could still clearly see the person blocking his way, the white haori, and the eleven-character embroidery on the back of the haori.

"Shine forth! Shining light of crystal!"

The newcomer was none other than Araki, who had rushed over from the Eleventh Division. He looked at the fallen Sugiki and expressionlessly released his Zanpakuto...

As a soft green light shone upon him, the face of the Sugimoto soldier, who was on the verge of death due to excessive blood loss, immediately regained its former color.

"You, you are... Captain Araki!"

As Sugimoto, his complexion returned, looked at Araki, who appeared before him like a god descending to earth. His expression changed instantly. He instinctively tried to stand up and bow to Araki, but forgetting that he had lost half a leg, he fell to the ground in a disheveled state.

"Lie down!"

Araki looked at the fallen Sugi, left only one sentence, and then looked at the Quincy standing in front of him.

"Swish! Swish..."

The Quincy, of course, wouldn't stand idly by. While Araki was treating Sugimoto, he fired several arrows at Araki. Unfortunately, Araki swatted all the arrows away as easily as swatting mosquitoes…

"who are you?"

At this moment, the arrogant Sternritter finally panicked. He admitted that he had underestimated the Grim Reapers' strength; at least the man standing before him was unfathomable.

"room!"

Araki ignored the shouts of the person in front of him and calmly released his power.

"Um?!"

The Sternritter watched helplessly as the translucent light enveloped them, their eyes filled with barely concealed fear.

He turned to Araki and demanded, "What did you do to me?!"

"Shh!"

However, before the Sternritter could think any further, the light had already faded.

Immediately afterwards, the Sternritter felt himself lose his footing, and his body fell uncontrollably toward the ground...

"My legs! Where did my legs go?"

After falling to the ground, the Sternritter was shocked to discover that his legs had somehow disappeared.

"You should be able to get up now."

Araki ignored the fallen Quincy and spoke expressionlessly to the Sugiki Squad members behind him.

"My legs are back! My legs, they're back!"

Soichiro Sugiki never imagined that there was a possibility that his lost leg could be reattached.

"Run! Remember to run towards the Eleventh Division. The captains of the other divisions are currently roaming the Seireitei killing Quincy! They don't have time to take care of you wounded soldiers whose spiritual energy is so severely depleted that you can't fight."

Araki, seeing that Sugiki's body had recovered, thought for a moment and then gave him a reminder.

Because Araki foresaw the Quincy invasion a few minutes in advance and used the Ten-Tai Kōra to notify all the captains of the Gotei 13, the captains of the Gotei 13 are now reacting even faster than in the original story...

At this moment, the captains of these squads have already led their respective divisions to carry out a Quincy hunting 'competition' within the Seireitei. No one has time to take care of these Shinigami soldiers who have exhausted their spiritual pressure and are unable to fight.

Of course, Araki had a backup plan in his Eleventh Division...

"As Captain Araki commands!"

Sugiki stood up and bowed deeply to Araki.

"Um……"

Upon hearing this, Araki turned around and walked towards the fallen Sternritter.

"Thank you, Captain Araki, for saving my life! I am Soichiro Sugiki of the Sugiki family, and I will serve you faithfully for the rest of my life!"

Just as Araki turned around, Sugimoto Souichirou suddenly knelt down on both knees and kowtowed to Araki several times before standing up and leaving.

Sugiki knew he had more important things to do now; he needed to inform the members of the Gotei 11 who were exhausted of spiritual pressure and unable to fight to go to the barracks for treatment...

"..."

Araki ignored Sugiki Soichiro's 'loyalty' and went to the Sternritter member on his own.

"Where is your Emperor Yhwach?"

Araki faced the Sternritter member who had lost both legs and was forced to lie down, and asked him in a cold voice.

"You think I'd tell you? You bunch of Soul Society trash! Even if I die, I would never..."

Before the Sternritter could finish speaking, his entire head exploded like a watermelon.

"Shut up! You're not the only Quincy with a mouth!"

Blood mixed with white fluid splattered towards Araki, but he blocked it with the power of his Zanpakuto, his face full of disgust. At the same time, Araki raised his head and looked at the Quincy dressed in white on the chaotic battlefield.

"room!!"

The enormous 'transparent operating room' emanated from Araki, spreading outwards in all directions and instantly enveloping the entire battlefield of Zhuwa Gate! With a flash of massive silver light, all the Quincy were cleaved in two by Araki's single strike!

"We've been hacked to death?!"

"Are you kidding me?! I actually saw my lower body floating in the air!"

"Damn it, what's going on?!"

For a moment, not only were the Quincy at a loss in the face of the current situation, but even the Shinigami soldiers who were still fighting against the Quincy did not know what had happened.

Unfortunately, no one will answer their questions...

With each flash of silver light, every Quincy floating in the sky felt a pang of pain in their hearts! They suddenly realized that they had lost something important...

As the fleeting silver light slowly disappeared and the transparent 'operating room' finally contracted and 'vanished,' the Quincy who had been forced into the sky by Araki's power finally landed on the ground.

"what is that?!"

"Damn it, is this hell?"

When the Quincy landed on the ground, what came into their view was a throne made up of countless beating hearts.

In an instant, the Quincy felt their scalps tingle and their sanity plummeted!

It's bizarre, everything before my eyes is just too bizarre!

A chair made entirely of hearts? What kind of evil concoction is this? And look closely, those hearts are still beating!

"Well then, please allow me to introduce myself..."

“My name is Araki. I am the captain of the 11th Division of the Gotei 13 in the Soul Society that you have invaded. You can understand that I am one of the leaders of the Shinigami who were killed by you.”

Just as the Quincy were feeling 'fear', 'confusion', and 'helplessness' at the scene before them...

A man with short brown hair, wearing a white haori, walked over to the crowd while clutching a beating heart in his hand.

If you look closely, you'll notice that the heart in the man's hand is exactly the same as the many hearts that make up the throne, clearly indicating that the man is inextricably linked to the throne!

"grim Reaper?!"

The Quincy, seeing the 'white-clad' Shinigami who had appeared without warning, all drew their bows, ready to shoot Araki with their arrows at any moment.

"calm down……"

Araki remained calm as he faced the Quincy who were drawing their bows at him. In front of them, he calmly crushed the heart in his hand, and bright red liquid immediately flowed out from between his fists...

"Pfft~"

As Araki's heart exploded in his hand, the Quincy closest to him immediately coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground, dying in the blink of an eye.

"This is?"

For a moment, the Quincy who witnessed the bizarre death of their companion were all thrown into a panic.

"As you can see, these still-beating hearts are from you..."

"If there is the slightest mishap, and my heart bursts open on its own, or if your arrows miss their mark and hit your own hearts, then you will all die instantly, just like this fallen young man!"

As Araki spoke, he shook the blood off his hands and sat down on the throne made up of the hearts of countless Quincy.

"Gentlemen, I am like your Emperor; I dislike pointless killing!"

"So right now, I'm giving all of you two choices."

"First, attack me, and then you will all die here!"

"Second, use the heads of your comrades to exchange for the heart in my hand."

"Don't worry, I'm a very honest person..."

“Give me five of your companions’ heads, and I will give you one of my hearts in return! Of course, if anyone can take Yhwach’s head, I will return all of my hearts to you without missing a single one.”

Araki casually sat on the throne of the 'Heart', like a king high above, ignoring the Quincy who were invaders, and spoke in a cold voice.

"Then make your choice!"

Araki looked at the group of Quincy and asked coldly.

Two more chapters! Please vote for me in return for my hard work!!

Chapter 36 Suppressing Zhuwa Gate!

暗!

The sky over Seireitei was gloomy and awe-inspiring.

quiet!

Amidst the raging flames of war spreading throughout Seireitei, the silence before the gates of Juwa seemed incredibly eerie.

The Quincy who came from the 'Empire of Light' in the present world, along with the 'Great Emperor' Yhwach, were filled with despair at this moment!

They gazed at the figure sitting 'quietly' on the throne forged from countless living 'Queen' hearts, and felt a chill run down their spines, filled with fear and dread...

The man on the throne gave them a choice, but they could not make a choice easily! Whether it was to exchange the heads of their companions for a chance to live, or to listen to the man's instigation and swing their swords at their great 'emperor', it all seemed too cruel for them!
