Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

When Yhwach fired another spirit arrow, Aozaki Mayuki shattered it without hesitation, a confident smile playing on her lips.

Not strong enough!

Despite Yhwach absorbing the power of a large number of his subordinates, Aozaki Mazuki was still confident that he could suppress him.

Whether in terms of physical strength or the seemingly endless spiritual pressure emanating from his soul, Aozaki Mayuki far surpasses Yhwach.

The next step is very simple!

Aozaki Mayuki took a step forward, his aura rising steadily, like a star about to explode.

He wanted to use his fists and knife to let Yhwach taste the feeling of life and death, and to open his eyes to a whole new world!

Just then, Yhwach suddenly felt a powerful spiritual pressure rapidly increasing.

He looked closely and realized it was Aozaki Mazuki.

His body exuded a chilling aura, as if he had already surpassed his limits.

Yhwach was shocked. How could this guy have become so powerful?

Does he also have the ability to absorb the power of others?

No, that's impossible. He must have deliberately hidden his strength just now.

Yhwach fell into deep thought, wondering what exactly was going on with this Aozaki Mayuki.

Just as Yhwach was puzzled, he suddenly felt a chill creep up from behind.

He instinctively turned around and saw Hasward lying on the ground, his life hanging in the balance.

Yhwach's face instantly darkened. He had expected Haschward to be defeated soon, so he wasn't too surprised.

After all, the opponent was a dozen or so crazy guys. Even if he faced them, he would find it troublesome without activating his three pupils.

Without the slightest hesitation, Yhwach immediately activated the Sanctity, absorbing Hasward's life and power.

With Haschwalth's soul extracted, Yhwach's power was greatly enhanced once again.

However, despite his significant increase in strength, Yhwach was not in a relaxed mood.

He began to consider whether he should reclaim his omniscient and omnipotent power.

According to the prophecy, he will need ninety years to regain consciousness and nine years to regain power.

However, just as he was able to awaken ahead of time, the time for regaining omniscience and omnipotence can also be brought forward.

However, if the power of omniscience and omnipotence is forcibly retrieved before the scheduled time, it will cause the power to go out of control, and the Saints will uncontrollably absorb the life and power of all Quincy.

The most crucial point is that Yhwach was shocked to discover that three members of the Sternritter were exhibiting the same condition as when they absorbed the souls of Quincy from the outside world several years ago.

Only a small number of soul fragments returned, and their own power and souls did not bring much back!

In this light, the failure of the Sanctification several years ago can be attributed to these very death gods.

This stirred a strong sense of crisis within Yhwach.

As time goes on, the number of people he can sanctify may decrease.

A flood of thoughts overwhelmed Yhwach, making his expression grow increasingly grave.

"How dare you be distracted at a time like this?"

Just as Yhwach was lost in thought, Aozaki Mayuki arrived in front of him in an instant.

He raised his long sword high, and an extremely dangerous aura immediately enveloped Yhwach's heart.

brush!!!

Suddenly, a pool of blood splattered from Yhwach's body.

Just as Aozaki Mayuki swung his sword down, Yhwach reacted instantly, raising his Quincy Cross at lightning speed to defend himself.

However, the once indestructible Cross Blade was now as fragile as tofu, unable to withstand even a moment's resistance, and was easily cut in half by Aozaki Mayuki's blade!

If he hadn't leaned back slightly at the crucial moment, that strike would probably have cleaved him in two!

Aozaki Mayuki's lips curled slightly, and the blade instantly turned, slashing back again.

Yhwach snorted coldly. In the instant their blades clashed, he had already discerned the power of his opponent's sword.

It is somewhat similar to Littler Barrow's "All Things Connected," a blade that can cut through anything, regardless of any obstacles.

To counter this ability, simply avoid being hit, just as you would with Yamamoto.

The length of that sword was no different from that of an ordinary katana, and its attack range was not large.

In that case, keeping a distance is enough!

Don't forget, the Quincy are most skilled with bows and arrows!

Red markings appeared on Yhwach's body.

Bloodstained armor!!

The spiritual energy was injected into his blood vessels, and his physical strength increased dramatically in an instant. In the blink of an eye, he distanced himself from Aozaki Mayuki to several thousand meters away.

Then, he pressed his hand against his chest, and a deep blue light shone, instantly healing the wounds on his body.

"Self-Given Body!"

At the same time, the Quincy Cross in his hand transformed once again, turning into a huge longbow.

"Holy Servant! Holy Arrow of Annihilation!!"

Yhwach gave a low shout, and countless spiritual particles converged from all directions, forming a huge ball of light at the tip of his spear.

With a wave of his hand, a massive beam of light, over ten meters in diameter, shot towards Aozaki Mayuki like a falling meteor.

Faced with such a terrifying attack, Aozaki Mayuki showed no sign of backing down.

He gripped the hilt of the knife with one hand and swung it forward sharply.

A black, crescent-shaped sword aura roared out and collided with Yhwach's beam of light.

boom!

The two collided, producing a deafening roar.

A powerful energy fluctuation spread outwards like ripples.

The surrounding buildings collapsed one after another, and deep cracks appeared in the ground.

Yhwach frowned slightly, not expecting that Aozaki Mayuki would be able to block his attack.

However, he was not discouraged by this.

His gaze grew increasingly cold, and the longbow in his hand suddenly increased in size as the bowstring was drawn back.

"The Great Sage Bow!"

Several more enormous beams of light shot out, even more powerful than before.

Seeing this, Aozaki Mayuki remained calm and unleashed another sword strike.

boom!

It was another intense collision, with energy fluctuations even stronger than before.

Yhwach was thrown backward by the shock.

Yhwach steadied himself in mid-air, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Aozaki Mayuki's strength is so great that even such power cannot force him to unleash his true power.

Chapter 489 Gods at the End of the Road

"An being of equal status with me."

Yhwach muttered to himself as he turned to the side, gripping a spirit arrow nearly as long as a person, his gaze fixed intently ahead.

“I am even closer to my father than I am now.”

As the dust was dispersed by the storm, Yhwach clearly saw the Captain-Commander of Death slowly approaching.

He seemed to hold the entire world in his hands, a strong, bloody aura swirling around his white haori, while his cold eyes beneath his black hair were fixed on Yhwach.

“You have used your power very well. It seems that I am not alone, nor as fragile as I thought.”

Yhwach nodded approvingly, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

These powers are clearly beyond the control of mortals, even with the assistance of the Hogyoku, which possesses some of the power of a Spirit King.

What else could someone of such equal status as him be but the Son of God?

This young Grim Reaper is very likely his brother.

He once believed that his brother was the "half-body" of a man named Haschward.

He possesses the same ability as himself, a power called the power of soul sharing.

But compared to himself and Aozaki Mayuki, Haschward was far too weak, no different from an ordinary person.

Now, this young Grim Reaper has demonstrated formidable strength and potential, arousing Yhwach's keen interest and anticipation.

Perhaps, he really is his brother, someone who is worthy of being regarded as an equal and who stands in a transcendent realm.

But if he really is his brother, wouldn't he want to replace that high and mighty yet utterly humiliating figure?

To be a supreme god, yet imprisoned and enslaved by lowly mortals—what a humiliation!

"Not lonely? Don't tell me stupid things like you want companions too. You don't seem like the kind of person who would be sentimental."

Aozaki Mayuki stood holding her sword, a hint of mockery in her eyes.

Gradually, his indifference was replaced by a burning passion, as if boiling hot blood was surging within him.

"Aren't you going to open those eyes yet? You should understand that in your current state, you are no match for me. If this continues, you will surely die!"

Aozaki Mayuki shouted loudly, and Yhwach seemed to detect a hint of urgency in his voice, though it was not his imagination.

"It's hard to understand. I don't know how you know about my power, but open these eyes. I will enter the realm of the gods. Are you really not afraid?"

Yhwach was somewhat tempted; his resolve began to waver.

He didn't care about the lives of the Quincy.
