Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

"Someone like you is not worthy to be my enemy!"

Aizen remained silent.

Whenever he wanted to show this guy some respect, he would speak up.

Yhwach stared coldly at Naraku, who had suddenly appeared in his way, his eyes filled with hatred.

Only after he had fully digested the memories of the Sternritter did he realize something.

The so-called Yamamoto Shigekuni and Hyōshūbe Ichibei are merely foils for the person in front of them.

The person who truly led this war was the new Captain-Commander, Naraku Sora!

"Since you're so eager to die, then I'll grant your wish."

Yhwach shifted his gaze, and several pupils locked onto his target.

In an instant, the Sacred Arrow skipped the firing process and appeared directly in front of Naraku Sora.

He covered the present with a future that was "inevitable," and this blow could not be negated by any form of force, nor could it be dodged in any way; the only option was to withstand it.

How laughable, Naraku Sora! You don't understand what it means to be an existence that transcends everything, and you don't comprehend what it means to be omniscient and omnipotent.

Having devoured the Spirit King, I am now the most powerful being in the world.

Although I cannot see your future, the power that escapes through my fingers is enough to completely erase you, who are as insignificant as an ant.

However, at the moment the Holy Arrow collided with it, something unexpected happened.

Naraku's movements did not pause for a moment, and he unleashed a merciless and unstoppable slash.

Black and red lightning crackled around the blade, causing the space to groan in agony as it was overwhelmed. The entire inner chamber trembled violently in that instant, and cracks appeared all over the solid structure made of spiritual particles.

An unparalleled force surged forth from the collision, completely engulfing Yhwach's determined strike.

The shattered spiritual particles scattered in all directions, while the black and red lightning continued forward in the aftershocks of its annihilation.

It charged straight toward the figure in front of it that resembled a monster of the Crusader type.

"What's this?"

Yhwach looked dazed.

"Of course it's a wagon!"

That grotesque, demonic grin was already within reach. Then, the dancing lightning transformed into a torrent, crashing down with a deafening roar and instantly engulfing Yhwach.

Black Flash - Five Dragons Revolve and Annihilate!

The torrents of lightning collided suddenly, transforming into a destructive pillar of light that pierced through the Spirit King Palace, blasting a large area of ​​space in front of it into collapse and revealing a deep rift.

Unlike his act in Soul Society, after fulfilling his promise to the Soul King, Naraku Sora unleashed his full power and mercilessly annihilated Yhwach.

Thanks to the friendly dedication of the five members of the Zero Division, and the selfless contributions of the Sternritter.

His current stats are enough to crush all mechanisms.

Yhwach had the Quincy of the entire Wandenreich to help him train, and as the Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13, he could naturally also gain corresponding benefits through the killing and suppression of his subordinates.

On one side are the entire Quincy, and on the other side are the Gotei 13.

If Yhwach can grow infinitely stronger in war, why can't Taroku do the same?

Therefore, this war was fair from the very beginning.

When the two blades, exceeding the limits of what the inner workings could withstand, collided with a deafening roar, the world seemed to stand still.

Everything is silent.

The next second, terrifying rays of light, symbolizing destruction, burst forth from the intersecting beams, sweeping and spreading in all directions, engulfing everything.

The inner palace shattered with a deafening roar, the buildings collapsed, and several figures burst forth from the ensuing spiritual energy storm.

Ichigo swung his Zanpakuto, a fierce wind howled, and the vast dust instantly cleared away, revealing two figures at the center of the collision.

Naraku Sora gained the upper hand, his black blade piercing Yhwach's body, twisting arcs of electricity wantonly ravaging and destroying flesh and blood.

Surprisingly, Yhwach showed no sign of pain; his left hand rested on the Zanpakuto that had pierced his body, and a smile played on his lips.

"Now, the moment of destiny has arrived."

The moment the words fell, the Zanpakuto let out a mournful cry and shattered into countless fragments!

Chapter 419 The Future Is Written by Me

"Naraku's Zanpakuto broke?!"

Ichigo's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

"This situation is getting a bit bad."

Yamamoto frowned, glanced at Aizen beside him, and subconsciously gripped Ryujin Jakka tightly. A ring of fire burst forth on the blade, then instantly subsided.

In a single instant, he completed his Bankai.

"That kid doesn't look like a match for Yhwach. Let's all go for him."

The mountain itself rose in imposing height, causing the temperature of the entire Spirit King Palace to rise accordingly, and the clouds below evaporated and dissipated at a visible speed.

"I will take charge of the main attack. You two, seize the opportunity and deliver a fatal blow to Yhwach."

Please be patient.

Aizen's gaze never left the two figures locked in battle, and his calm voice rang in the ears of the other two.

Have faith in him.

A hint of mockery flashed across Yhwach's face as he watched the shards fall in front of him.

As a Shinigami (death god), the importance of a Zanpakuto (soul-slaying sword) is self-evident.

While one can gain immense power through Shikai and Bankai, they also possess relatively fatal weaknesses.

That is, once the Zanpakuto is destroyed, nine-tenths of one's strength will be lost.

Although the Soul King Palace has Nimaiya Oetsu, who can repair Zanpakuto, there is no time for Naraku Sora to repair it at this moment.

"It's over, Naraku Sora."

"Victory will ultimately belong to me."

Naraku Sora looked at the broken blade and the remaining hilt, but there was no sign of frustration on his face.

On the contrary, the curve of his lips became increasingly ferocious and savage.

He raised his eyes, looking down with disdain:

"Finish?"

"You know nothing of my power."

The moment the words fell, an abyss-like spiritual pressure erupted, and a strange and heavy crimson aura surged forth, rapidly engulfing Naraku's body completely.

hum-

Space twisted wildly, with deep lines scattered around the crimson aura, and heavy currents surged endlessly, flowing freely.

The clear sky was suddenly filled with winding, distorted stars, which dripped down strands of dim light.

Like a shower of stars, it enveloped the entire Spirit King Palace.

For some reason, Yhwach suddenly felt that the scene in front of him was extremely unfamiliar, as if he had entered a world beyond his comprehension.

Under its uneasy gaze, the crimson aura dissipated layer by layer, revealing a flawless body, under which immense spiritual pressure blazed amidst the intertwining and flashing black and red lightning.

Even the infinite darkness surging from the spiritual pressure manifested spiritual particles from outside the world, condensing into a crystal-like halo that solemnly swirled around.

Like the sun before its destruction!

"Look."

Within the sun's glow, Naraku Sora's lips curled into a pleased smile as he turned to Yhwach:

"That's the gap between us."

The next instant, Yhwach's pupils contracted sharply.

That hideous, demonic smile flashed before my eyes without warning.

Close at hand.

The crackling black and red arcs of electricity wantonly ravaged the space of the Spirit King Palace. He leaned back to his limit and then threw a punch without holding back.

Black and red lightning filled the entire field of vision; a familiar scene was playing out once again.

Before Yhwach could even react, his mangled body was blasted to pieces, and sticky blood mist smeared the interior, forming a mottled scroll of hell.

"Zanpakuto are important, but to those who transcend, they are nothing more than external objects formed from spiritual pressure, just like the spirit bows of Quincy."

Even if it's broken, it can always be reshaped.

"Because before this, Sora had already completed the fusion with his Zanpakuto, leaping to a new level."

Aizen remained calm throughout, as if everything was unfolding exactly as he had predicted.

Ichigo was dumbfounded, gaining a completely new understanding of Naraku's strength.

He desperately needs a more fitting adjective than "monster".

"Uncle Zhan Yue, do you still stand by what you said back at the Spirit Arts Academy?"

Within the realm of his mind, Zangetsu stood atop the collapsed building, silently observing the scene unfolding before Ichigo's eyes, his emotions a complex mix.

Wasn't he supposed to be omniscient, omnipotent, and invincible?

How did it collapse?

Does Ichigo really have a chance to surpass such a monster?

Zhan Yue fell into deep self-doubt.

"Omniscient and omnipotent, self-given".

A muffled sound emerged from the blood mist, and Yhwach's body instantly returned to its original form, transforming back into the shape of a Cthulhu monster.

But unlike before, a hint of unease and fear lingered in the pupils above his face, finally transforming into resentful rage, and a deafening roar echoed through the ruins of the palace:
