Starting as a pirate, he rose to become the strongest Shinigami in Soul Society.

Chapter 534 You have disappointed me greatly, Yhwach.

"Is it you, Cantis Bane?" Yhwach said, looking at Bane after successfully stepping into the fourth level.

When he first woke up, he used his omniscience and omnipotence to observe what was going on.

The attempt failed, and his omniscience was interrupted, but at the same time, he learned the name 'Cantis Bane'.

Now, he felt himself regaining his strength. After all, when he first woke up, he hadn't activated his Sainthood to restore his peak power. But now, he was at his peak. Whether or not he had Sainthood, Yhwach was on a completely different level, a completely different concept.

For specific details, you can refer to the fate of the monk with the eye.

He had just defeated the monk Hyosube Ichibei and was in a very confident state.

"What an impolite guy," Bane said, frowning slightly in annoyance.

He disliked the way Yhwach looked at him.

It's as if I'm high above, like a god looking down on the three realms.

Bane had almost forgotten how many years it had been since anyone dared to look at him like that.

This is where the advantage of having subordinates with you becomes apparent.

Kiryuki, ever quick-witted, immediately stepped forward and shouted, "Insolent scoundrel! How dare you bark at the Spirit King and Spirit Venerable in front of you? Kneel down now!?"

To be honest, Kiryu Hikifune's outrageous actions left even Bane dumbfounded.

No, is the Spirit King Palace really that capable of adjusting things?

If he remembered correctly, Hikifune Kiryu wasn't the kind of person who would say such things before!

Yhwach was somewhat annoyed by Kiryu's retort. He should have brought Haschward along earlier; that way, he wouldn't have looked so pathetic, and it would have been a good way to deal with Kiryu's situation.

At this moment, he suddenly found himself in an awkward position, feeling that whatever he said made him seem somewhat inferior.

But he didn't want to feel that way.

Therefore, Yhwach decided to flip the table!

His spiritual pressure suddenly erupted, and his double pupils trembled. His fierce gaze fixed on Bane, as if he had locked onto his target and would not look away.

Omniscient and omnipotent, open!

Today I'm saying goodbye to the Holy One, the pinnacle of Yhwach, you understand?

The next second, Yhwach's surging spiritual pressure suddenly collapsed, his expression turned to disbelief, and he raised his hand to cover his eyes. Although he did not let out any painful groans, a trickle of blood still flowed from between his fingers.

Omniscient and omnipotent, yet failed again!

"It's impossible. It's impossible for two people with supreme status to exist in the Three Realms at the same time. How did you possess such power before my father perished?" Yhwach asked, his tone slightly incredulous and shocked. He slowly lowered his hand and looked at Bane with his bloodstained eyes.

Although he had sensed Bane's presence the last time he used his omniscience and omnipotence, and was also surprised by Bane's status.

But then he felt it was impossible. In the Three Realms, there could not be two supreme beings of equal rank. The Spirit King had only been cut into a wedge, not really killed. How could there be a supreme being like the Spirit King?

The god capable of creating the three realms must always be unique, right?

Therefore, he felt that something must have gone wrong, or perhaps he had not yet activated his Sainthood, so his power was insufficient to see clearly.

Whether it was to convince himself or for some other reason, Yhwach was convinced that this was the truth.

So after the Sainthood, he failed to activate Omniscience and Omnipotence again, and his mentality was really on the verge of collapse.

"Can't you see?" Bane chuckled. "Indeed, you're still too weak right now."

The power of omniscience and omnipotence is extremely strong. Its essence is the so-called "seeing through the future" and selecting a desired outcome from this infinite future, thereby determining the development of things and selecting the "fact" in an instant.

In other words, even if Yhwach dies, as long as he activates his omniscience and omnipotence before his death and chooses a point in the future where he is still alive, he can be resurrected instantly and replace the current 'timeline' with the route of that future.

Therefore, this kind of power is almost invincible.

Yhwach was so arrogant because he truly possessed such terrifying power!

Bane didn't make a move; instead, he raised his hand and gestured, "I know what you want to do. Go ahead and try, Yhwach."

Yhwach looked at Bane with a solemn expression, then at the direction Bane was pointing, which was the location of the Soul King's seal.

The guy in front of him seemed even more arrogant than him. After realizing his 'weakness,' he didn't take action to eliminate him, but instead gave him a chance to devour the Spirit King?

This undoubtedly made Yhwach feel extremely humiliated.

But in the end, he walked towards the location of the Spirit King's seal without saying a word.

He's not strong enough yet, but if he can also seize the position of the Spirit King, then he will definitely be able to kill this damned Cantilevery Bane!

Kiryu looked at Bane with some concern, but seeing Bane's calm and relaxed expression, he moved his lips but ultimately remained silent.

Yhwach arrived before the Soul King's seal, gazing at the lifeless Soul King within. A strange light flickered in his eyes as he softly murmured, "Father."

He always considered himself the son of the Spirit King, destined by Heaven. Even if he wanted to seize the power of the Spirit King and kill his own father, he didn't feel there was anything wrong with it. On the contrary, perhaps he also hoped to bring relief to the Spirit King.

Yhwach drew his Quincy cross sword from his waist and thrust it fiercely towards the seal!

Nearly a thousand years ago, he had witnessed this scene, piercing the Spirit King's chest himself.

Back then, he thought he would defeat Yamamoto Genryusai, ascend to the Spirit King Palace, and realize that future. But now, he understands that today is the time for him to deliver this blow.

But the next second, Yhwach was stunned.

The Quincy cross in his hand paused, its sharp tip pressed against the amber-like sealing barrier, unable to penetrate it at all.

It's completely different from the future he envisioned back then!

I failed to show off earlier by using my omniscience to see Bane's future, and I almost went blind. Now I've finally managed to stand in front of the Spirit King and see the future I once saw, but when I slashed him, the barrier didn't budge, and I looked like a clown.

This infuriated Yhwach, who roared angrily and slashed down with his sword. The blade struck the barrier hard, and the recoil sent it flying, causing Yhwach to stumble back two steps.

For a moment, an awkward atmosphere filled the fourth floor of the inner palace.

Even Kiryu couldn't bear to watch.

Yhwach's blood temperature had also turned red. After catching the Quincy's cross blade that had been flung away, he stood there, suddenly unsure of what to do next.

Damn it, I can't break this barrier!

This isn't the future I envisioned!

Who changed the future I envisioned back then?!

"Sigh, you really are quite disappointing. As expected, compared to you, that brat Aizen is more to my liking, more interesting, and more representative of the fun and changes of the future." Bane said with great disappointment.

Yhwach and Aizen Sousuke, the two most iconic villains in the Bleach world, it's hard to say who is stronger at their peak, but Yhwach might be slightly stronger.

However, in terms of prestige, potential, and the enjoyment it brings to Bane.

Yhwach is not worthy to sit at the same table as Aizen.

Perhaps, from the very beginning, Yhwach and Aizen were on completely opposite sides?

Yhwach wanted to create an ideal world without fear.

Aizen, however, believed that a world without fear would stop people from exploring hope, and such a world would be too boring.

The power to take a step forward despite fear is called courage, and courage is the hymn to all intelligent life!

So far, Aizen has never stopped pursuing higher and unknown goals. Before fusing with the Hogyoku, he didn't know what changes would happen, but he still had the courage to try to pursue this elusive future. So if Bane really had to give an evaluation...

He believed that Yhwach might be stronger than Aizen Sousuke for a while, but in the end, Aizen Sousuke would definitely be able to stand higher than Yhwach!

Hearing Bane's disappointed sigh, Yhwach trembled all over, a sign of extreme anger. He felt as if he had come to the fourth level to face the Soul King, just to be humiliated!

At this moment, he wished he could kill this so-called Spirit Lord with a single blow!

But at that moment, Bane made a move.

He was still standing by the window, but he gently raised his finger and pointed it at the location of the Spirit King's seal in the air.

There was no spiritual energy emitted, nor any fluctuation of spiritual pressure; it was as if they were deliberately creating a mystery.

But then, with a click, the Spirit King's amber barrier lost its power. At that moment, it was no longer a barrier protecting the Spirit King, but rather resembled an ordinary "work of art".

Yhwach also noticed this change, glanced at Bane somewhat blankly, and then looked at the Soul King with great envy.

Without a word, Yhwach prepared to reach out and touch the Spirit King's remaining torso, but he stopped just as his fingertips were about to touch the Spirit King.

Then, he turned to Bane and said, "You want to become the Spirit King? Is that why you're using me to complete this final step of killing the former king? Are you so confident that you can still defeat me after I seize power equal to yours?"

Upon hearing this, Kiryu couldn't help but look at Bane. Before this, she had thought the same thing, but Bane's words, "I don't need to become the Spirit King, I am everything," made her no longer feel that Bane wanted to become the Spirit King.

Therefore, she was also very curious about Bane's purpose in doing such a thing. Liberation? Liberation of the Spirit King should only be one aspect, right?

"Do you think my title of Spirit Lord sounds better than Spirit King?" Bane stroked his chin and asked with a smile.

Yhwach frowned slightly, but he was also an extremely wise man and immediately understood what he meant.

Yes, he doesn't need to become the Spirit King, because he is already in heaven without needing to.

In the sky, on that empty throne, he had already sat down at some point.

"Why is that?" Yhwach asked, voicing his doubts.

But clearly, Bane didn't intend to answer; he simply smiled.

This disdainful and contemptuous attitude infuriated Yhwach even more, but he didn't ask any more questions and reached out to grab the Soul King's torso!

In an instant, the three realms trembled!

Yhwach's claim to be the son of King Spirit was not a mere charade; he truly shared the same lineage as King Spirit.

Therefore, the two powers were perfectly matched. Almost the instant he touched the Soul King's body, the Soul King's boundless power seemed to transcend time and space and merge into Yhwach's body.

The three realms began to collapse simultaneously.

In many parts of the world today, devastating disasters such as volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis are beginning to erupt.

Within the illusory circle, the illusory moon in the sky flickers incessantly, as if it were about to fall from this eternally unchanging night sky.

The Soul Society's edges are constantly crumbling, turning into nothingness and merging into the endless, chaotic void.

The power of the Spirit King has been usurped, the wedge between the Three Realms has been destroyed, and the Three Realms, which were moving forward separately, must now be reunited and return to the void of chaos millions of years ago.
