I said you are all war criminals

The corner of Urahara Kisuke's mouth twitched.

Better terms? Even better than what Byakuya-kun had suggested? Were they trying to force Soul Society to surrender and turn Seireitei into Quincy headquarters?

Having said that, Kisuke knew that the Quincy couldn't possibly know what the three captains had just said. Perhaps, these three Quincy weren't very confident either.

“What’s their bottom line?”

"[Tell the Shinigami not to interfere with the living world], this seems to be the order directly given to them by that Yhwach."

"What a wild idea! You need to give these people a head-on blow and let them know that the God of Death is the one who should rule the world!"

This……

Kisuke was slightly embarrassed.

If Aya Hachiko knew that the Shinigami would give the living world to the Quincies for ten years, she would definitely not care about the reason behind it and would beat Kisuke up. This is truly an innocent crime, and Urahara Kisuke feels that this is a completely unexpected disaster.

In short, Kisuke quickly responded to Aya Hachiko, then hung up the phone and dialed again.

This time, he was attacking Shihouin Yoruichi.

This morning, as the Quincy arrived in Soul Society, Urahara Kisuke arranged for Yoruichi Shihoin to simultaneously pass through the Gate of Realm and enter the human world to investigate the Quincy's true identity. This mission was only possible for Yoruichi Shihoin, the master of stealth maneuvers.

Anyway, Urahara Kisuke connected the communication.

From the other end of the communicator came a voice that was quite unfamiliar to Urahara Kisuke.

"Are you the owner of this little kitty, Death?"

——It was a voice without any emotion, a voice that made people feel cold all over.

Urahara Kisuke laughed without hesitation, "Ah, that's right. Can you please let my cat go back to Soul Society? She might not be very good at living in the real world~"

There was no sound of sadness or joy in the voice on the other end of the communicator.

"Then please come to the real world after the meeting, Captain Urahara."

"No problem—By the way, I haven't asked your name yet. It would be hard for me to find you even if I were to return to the real world, wouldn't it?"

Kisuke Urahara smiled heartlessly, as if he was not worried about Shihouin Yoruichi's safety at all.

"Your name is?"

"My name is Goto Ichiri."

The woman on the other end of the communicator didn't keep anyone in suspense.

"The name you are familiar with is, Yhwach."

Chapter 156 The era of death is over.

Between the thrones.

Goto Ichiri pressed the end call button on the communicator, his slender fingers slightly closed, and the metal debris fell to the ground.

And Yoruichi Shihouin, who was pressed against the wall between the thrones by the huge spiritual pressure, finally got the power to breathe.

The suffocating feeling suddenly vanished, and her lungs, like a dry riverbed, greedily sucked in air. Shihouin Yoruichi curled up on the ground, her violent coughing making it almost impossible for her to stand. The immense spiritual pressure receded like a tide, but it left indelible marks on her body—muscle paralysis, spiritual energy depletion, even standing up seemed extremely difficult.

"What the hell are you!"

Yoruichi's voice was hoarse, almost roaring. She struggled to raise her head and glared at the woman sitting on the throne.

Goto Ichiri, or rather, Yhwach, didn't respond to Yoruichi's questioning. She leaned back against the throne, her eyes slightly closed, as if she had just experienced a deep sleep and was about to fall asleep again. Her long eyelashes cast a shadow under her eyelids, obscuring any emotion that might be revealed in her eyes.

"Hey! I'm asking you something!"

Ye Yi endured the pain in his body and tried to stand up straight.

"Your Reiatsu... why..."

"I'm tired."

Goto Ichiri said, "Shut up."

In an instant, literally in an instant, Shihouin Yoruichi found herself speechless. She opened her mouth to speak, but found her tongue as if suppressed by an invisible force, unable to utter a single sound.

Shadows swarmed around her like wild horses, galloping through her vision. She tried in vain to raise her hands, only to find her arms had lost all strength. The fist she remembered no longer belonged to her. She took a step back, stumbling, and nearly fell to the ground.

She was like...

"Took" everything away.

Yoruichi's eyes suddenly widened. Could this be Yhwach's power? Taking away someone's strength, making it impossible for them to even think about fighting... What a terrifying ability!

How could such an incredible ability be possible? There must be some kind of flaw...

"Your Majesty's power has no flaws."

Ye Yi heard someone say.

At this time, Ye Yi realized that someone had grabbed her ponytail from behind and was dragging her away.

The woman holding Yoruichi was incredibly strong. Yoruichi felt as if her neck was being torn apart, and her scalp was numb. She was dragged on the ground, and the rough ground rubbed against her skin, causing a burning pain.

But compared to the physical pain, what really hurt her was the so-called "dignity".

She was like a toothless tiger, all show but no threat.

Outside the throne room, the long corridor was deserted. Only Yoruichi's heavy breathing and the sound of the woman dragging her forward echoed in the silent space. Yoruichi tried hard to see the woman's face, but being pulled by her ponytail and unable to resist made Yoruichi's actions futile.

Soon, Yoruichi was dragged by the woman into a room that looked like a torture chamber.

The floor of the torture chamber was cold and hard, and Ye Yi was thrown unconscious. When she regained her sight, she finally saw the person holding her hostage.

The woman had hair as blue as the deep sea, carelessly draped over her shoulders. She wore the white Quincy uniform that accentuated her tall, voluptuous figure. But the most striking thing about her was her delicate face, her eyes as clear as the blue sky, seemingly covered in a layer of dust.

"You actually dared to attack His Majesty. You are truly fearless."

The blue-haired woman snorted, "If it were me, you'd be dead."

Ye Yi wanted to speak, but nothing came out. Damn, what kind of power was this? She tried to mobilize her spiritual energy, but found it was empty, as if it had been completely drained.

The blue-haired woman looked at Ye Yi's futile struggle, as if she was looking at a trapped animal being teased, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Don't waste your efforts."

Her voice sounded unexpectedly pleasant, yet as cold as ice.

"Your Majesty has taken away your voice and your ability to fight. Now you can do nothing but struggle in vain."

She paused, looked down at Ye Yi, and said word by word: "This is the result of your offense to His Majesty. This is the insurmountable gap between the God of Death and His Majesty!"

Then, the woman bent down and glared at Yoruichi.

"Speak, tell me you know you are far inferior to His Majesty! A Shinigami is far inferior to a Quincy!"

Seeing the woman's smug look, Yoruichi was furious. Her face flushed red and she tried desperately to retort, but could only make a "wuwu" sound. This funny look made the blue-haired woman laugh even more happily. She held her chin with her hand and looked at Yoruichi with interest, as if she was admiring a failed work.

"Why, you're not convinced? What a pity, you can't even speak now, let alone draw your sword. This is the gap between you and His Majesty, do you understand, Death?"

Ye Yi gritted her teeth and glared at the woman in front of her. She swore that if she could get her to speak, she would knock out her teeth one by one!

At this moment, the door of the interrogation room was pushed open, and a tall figure walked in. This person also had blue hair, but the light in her eyes was like gold, shining.

"Yanagi, your Majesty did not ask you to torture the God of Death."

The new woman spoke with an unquestionable tone, "Why did you bring this guy here?"

The blue-haired woman known as "Yanaimi" reluctantly put away her smile and curled her lips impatiently, "I was just teaching her a lesson. It's her fault for being disrespectful to His Majesty."

As she spoke, her eyes fell back on Yoruichi, "These Shinigami are simply a nuisance... When I was saving people in the real world, these people actually rushed out to protect the Hollows. If it weren't for them, Komari wouldn't have..."

"Yanaimi,"

The blue-haired woman who entered later interrupted her mercilessly, "Don't bring personal feelings into work. His Majesty will make the final decision, and you've overstepped your bounds."

Yanami bit her lip, as if she wanted to say something, but she finally closed her mouth. She glared at Yoruichi fiercely, turned around and walked out of the interrogation room, slamming the door before leaving.

Only Yoruichi and the blue-haired woman were left in the room. Yoruichi looked at the woman in front of him, trying to discern something from her. This woman exuded a powerful spiritual pressure, many times stronger than that of the person named Yanami just now.

Ye Yi was about to ask, but suddenly realized that she still couldn't speak. She closed her mouth in frustration and could only signal the other person with her eyes.

The blue-haired woman noticed her embarrassment and smiled faintly, "Don't worry, His Majesty has only temporarily sealed your ability. It's not permanent, it will be healed in a short while."

"Don't be nervous, Death, I'm not your enemy."

Her voice was soft and calm, in stark contrast to the sharpness of the one called Yanami just now.

"My name is Yamada Ryo, and I am..."

Yamada Ryo paused, as if weighing his words, "You can understand it as... His Majesty's personal physician."

Yoruichi raised an eyebrow, and even though she couldn't speak, she could still express her confusion through her expression.

As if seeing through her thoughts, Yamada Ryo coughed lightly and continued, "His Majesty has no ill intentions, he just doesn't want you to wander around. After all, this is our Quincy base, and since you suddenly broke in through the portal, of course we have to control you."

"Where...is this?"

Yoruichi was finally able to speak, her voice still a little hoarse.

"You can call this the 'Eye of the Soul King'."

Yamada Ryo walked to the window and pulled open the heavy curtains. Dazzling sunlight instantly poured in, illuminating the originally dim room. "To be more precise, this is not Earth."

Yoruichi's eyes widened in disbelief. She subconsciously took a step forward, almost touching the windowpane. Outside, a boundless black curtain dotted with countless twinkling stars, dazzling like diamonds on velvet. In the distance, a massive blue planet dominated most of her field of vision. It was Earth, her familiar home, yet now it seemed so strange and distant.

"This...this is..."

Ye Yi was deeply shocked by the scene before her, and she could no longer find the right words to describe her feelings at the moment.

“It’s spectacular, isn’t it?”

Yamada Ryo's voice echoed behind her, with a hint of barely perceptible pride, "This is our Quincy's new home—the Soul King's Eye."

Yoruichi turned slowly, his brow furrowed, "A new home? What do you mean? What kind of place is this?"

Yamada Ryo walked to the window and looked up at the vast universe. "This is the universe... Do you Death Gods know what the universe is?"

"Don't look down on us, I mean the world outside the Earth!"

Yoruichi turned back and swallowed, "But, that should be out of reach... Even the captain can't go beyond the earth..."

"Death, times have changed."

Yamada Ryo said in a voice that was almost compassionate, "The era of the God of Death is over."

Chapter 157: Bai Ye, start.

Hakuno put down the controller.

He had just hunted an ice curse dragon and was feeling a bit upset.

That's right, after deciding to let Ichiri go, Hakuno stopped paying attention to the game. He opened a Monster Hunter, and then another, and another.

……after all.

Bai Ye encountered a strange refining on the road. He tried his best but failed to refine attack 3 and could only leave sadly.

"trash game!"

Bai Ye scratched his hair in frustration and threw the game controller onto the table. On the screen, the hunter with the ID "Bai Ye" was slumped to the ground, and next to him, a massive Ice Curse Dragon roared to the sky, showing off its might.

——That’s right, hunting is hunting.

I didn't say I won.

"Damn, this crappy game isn't smart at all! I'm hiding in a corner, and it's still able to precisely spray me in the face with ice? Is this reasonable? Is this scientific?"

Bai Ye cursed indignantly under his breath, as if this could ease the depression in his heart.

To be honest, Bai Ye's hunting skills are pretty good, he can defeat the Ice Curse Dragon. The reason why he failed several times in a row is because he has something on his mind.

That's right, it's simulation.

Hakuno hasn't watched the simulator in a long time.

Mainly... he was afraid.

Bai Ye was afraid that the simulated Ichiri would do something beyond his comprehension. Wouldn't that mean that Bai Ye was even inferior to the simulator? But if Bai Ye took over the simulated Ichiri's consciousness at this moment, wouldn't that mean that Bai Ye believed that he could never defeat the simulator Ichiri?
