One Piece: Kaido's adopted son, starts with the Eight Gates Formation.

Even the five members of the Zero Division felt suffocated.

"Yhwach..." Hyosube Ichibei's voice was hoarse.

King of the Quincy. Father of all things. The ultimate enemy of Soul Society.

The being that should have remained dormant for several more years before fully awakening was prematurely awakened because of Lynn's actions.

Yhwach's gaze swept over the Soul King Palace, over the five members of the Zero Division, over the Soul King within the barrier—and finally settled on Lynn.

His expression was calm, even indifferent. But the cross-shaped light in his eyes flickered violently the moment he saw Lynn.

"The Omniscient and Omnipotent told me that something very interesting would happen today," Yhwach began, his voice deep and carrying an air of supreme authority. "But I never expected it to be such a little fellow."

He took a step forward, his shadow spreading out at his feet.

"Are you touching the Spirit King?"

"Yes." Lynn nodded, his attitude very frank.

"Do you know that King Ling is my father?"

"Oh, I see." Lynn tilted her head. "Then we're from different generations. I also call him 'Dad.' But I call him the one below me."

Yhwach raised an eyebrow.

The Sternritter behind him began to stir. A man with a full head of pink hair—codenamed "D" Askin—muttered under his breath, "Who's this brat? Why does His Majesty's attitude towards him seem so strange?"

A masked giant nearby—codenamed "S," Bazzby—scoffed, "Who cares who they are? Burn them all if they're in the way!"

"Don't be impulsive," another short-haired youth—codenamed "B," Hasward—murmured, his eyes fixed on Lynn. "Something's wrong. My omniscience can't predict this kid's actions."

"What?" Bazzby was taken aback.

Hasward didn't explain, because he himself couldn't understand it.

He possesses a fragment of "omniscience and omnipotence" that he obtained from Yhwach. Although it is far less powerful than the original body, it can at least allow him to see the "possibilities" of the future.

But when he tried to predict Lynn's actions, all he saw was—blank space.

It's not that I "can't see clearly," nor is it that I'm "being disturbed."

There is simply no "future" to look forward to.

It's as if this child doesn't exist on the timeline.

Yhwach obviously discovered the same thing.

His omniscience and omnipotence—the absolute eye that can see through all the future and turn favorable futures into reality—had a "blind spot" for the first time when facing Lynn.

This gave him a feeling he hadn't experienced in a long time.

alert.

But he did not back down.

He is the King of the Quincy. His goal was clear from the beginning—to absorb the Spirit King, replace him, and become the new ruler of the three realms.

The child in front of us is also touching the Spirit King.

that's enough.

"No matter who you are," Yhwach raised the black bow, from which an arrow made of pure spiritual particles and radiating a blue-white light materialized, "the Spirit King—is mine."

He let go.

The arrow shot through the air at a speed exceeding the speed of light and the concept of space, heading straight for Lynn's face.

Hyobu Ichibei's pupils constricted sharply, and he shouted, "Watch out—"

"Um."

Lynn extended a finger and touched the tip of the arrow.

The arrow stopped.

All speed, all power, all spiritual compression, vanished the moment they touched Lynn's fingers.

A genuine sense of seriousness finally appeared in Yhwach's eyes.

"Interesting," he said.

"Interesting," Lynn said.

The two stared at each other for three seconds.

Then Lynn turned to Hyosube Ichibei and asked, "Monk, who is this person? Is he one of yours?"

Hyosube Ichibei gave a wry smile—he no longer knew how to describe his current feelings.

"He is...our greatest enemy."

"Oh." Lynn nodded. "Then his arrival is just in time; I needed someone to help me test out my new ability."

He grasped the arrow by the tail and flipped it over.

Then, like throwing a dart, he casually tossed it back.
