You are very strong, but my painting style is better than yours!

Yhwach acted as if it were the most natural thing in the world, having no doubt that he would rule the three realms.

However, his assessment of Iori was indeed from the heart:

Iori is even more dangerous than Yamamoto!

Needless to say, Iori's killing ability is undeniable; the mere mention of "White Horse" is enough to prove her absolute power.

In terms of strategy and mentality, although Yhwach and Iori were meeting for the first time, it did not prevent him from getting to know Iori's core.

By simply comparing the information gathered with what one has personally witnessed, it is easy to discover the "strangeness" of Aizen Iori.

On the surface, he seems to be a pillar of the Thirteenth Division, a genius who is expected to succeed the Captain-Commander in the future, and he is also very popular and has great prestige in the entire Shinigami group.

However, this is far from the truth... What do you mean by "hopeful to succeed the captain"?

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni and this monster are not even in the same league!

Within the Seireitei, no one knew Aizen Iori's true strength, including the Quincy who had been secretly gathering intelligence. Everyone had been deceived by him!

Moreover... judging from his words and actions after his appearance, he clearly knew about the Quincy and Yhwach's conspiracy all along, but he never exposed it. Instead, he also acted as a stand-in to participate in this conflict, while he himself went to Yhwach alone...

This person is definitely not on the same side as Seireitei!

With prestige enough to subdue everyone and the formidable strength to eliminate enemies, and ruthless in achieving their goals, even using the entire Seireitei as a tool... this kind of behavior is truly terrifying!

Yhwach considered himself to be a very good person at hiding and scheming, but Aizen Iori's heart was so deep that even he could not fathom it.

...Since that's the case, then we can only end everything in the simplest way!

Yhwach had no interest in Aizen Iori's plans and objectives; any enemy standing in his way had to be eliminated at all costs!

"I want to thank you, Aizen Iori..."

"Oh?"

“Previously, I had merely ‘carried’ them on my body, without truly mastering their power, and even deep down I feared the will of ‘Father’… But your attack left me with no choice but to fight back when I was on the verge of death.”

hum!

The overwhelming spiritual pressure shook the world, and the originally turbulent sea was forcibly smoothed out, becoming as smooth as a mirror, clearly reflecting the towering pillar of fire and the domineering figure in black.

"I have already transcended this realm, mastering the past and future, and all things in the universe. Nothing in this world can stop me now!"

Impressive... This spiritual pressure intensity is probably beyond the reach of even the great monks of the Spirit King Palace.

However, for some reason, Iori remained calm and composed, simply watching Yhwach elevate himself to his peak state.

Only then did Iori interrupt him as the Quincy King began to declare victory:

Have you ever seen a sunset?

"……what?"

Yuha frowned.

Iori pointed one finger to the sky and calmly met its gaze: "A proud king will not look up at anything."

Therefore, it is only when everything is lost that the cause of defeat can be seen.

look--"

Light!

Extremely dazzling!

It gilded the whole world with the color of gold!

It was an incomparably luxurious and majestic golden ship, as large as an island!

Stretching across the sky like a giant whale, slowly gliding through the air, this is precisely the posture described by humankind in mythology.

At this moment, the golden ship slowly sailed in from the other side of the sky, with a dazzling sun slowly rising on board.

In the distant night sky, where there were originally no stars, now countless stars are twinkling:

That's Taurus!

And then, a host of other zodiac constellations, led by him, will light up in turn!

With each increase in the brilliance of the starry sky and each fleeting glimpse of the golden ship, the slowly rising sun grew ever larger and more dazzling, as if it had pulled a real star from billions of miles away to this place.

"……How can it be."

Yhwach opened his mouth and murmured, "Power... can it really increase again?"

Faced with this illogical scene, the Quincy King felt an overwhelming sense of absurdity.

He's at the peak of his life right now... He's crossed the barrier between realms, successfully absorbed the power of the Spirit King, and is undergoing a transformation from a divine child to a god, even surpassing his self from a thousand years ago...

This almost inexhaustible power that filled his body was definitely not fake; he could clearly sense that!

But... but...

Pointless!

Even if it's twice as strong, or even twice as strong... it's still meaningless!

Sand and steel, crushed by celestial bodies, will meet the same fate...

Why it came out like this?

He's clearly gotten stronger... This feeling of powerlessness... No!

"I do not admit it!"

Yhwach's body was covered in dark blue stripes, and his powerful spiritual energy eroded the surrounding space, forcibly separating him from Iori's kingdom and creating his own domain.

"What an absurd thing!"

--come down.

On the golden ship, the great sun pierced through as if by illusion, and a white horse landed in a posture that Yhwach knew all too well.

This time, however, its power is countless times greater than before!

The "Remnant Fire Katana," which boasts a temperature of tens of millions of degrees, was completely overwhelmed in terms of both scale and potential at this moment!

The heat released during its fall alone caused the ocean to boil at a visible speed, and together with the distorted atmosphere, it turned the world into a pot of boiling oil, as if we had returned to the hellish planet at the beginning of creation!

"You can see the past and the future, create 'miracles,' distort 'reality,' and constantly adapt to the environment."

Iori glanced up at the increasingly fast-moving white horse, then at Yhwach, who had no intention of dodging (it was pointless).

The man said calmly, "Then let's make a serious prediction."

Under these three sunsets, what kind of miracle must you create to secure a future where you can survive?

"Let all things flow! I am God!!!"

Yhwach's body was completely deconstructed in the flash, shedding his human form and transforming into a giant of light, thousands of meters tall, connected by delicate, transparent crystals, resembling a work of art!

boom! ! ! !

Yhwach's massive body was rapidly worn down by the bombardment of the sun's fire, melting away more than half in just a few seconds, and even his head completely disappeared.

Even so, he was not completely destroyed—he was able to withstand the flames for a little longer!

As long as there is a glimmer of hope... He, who can control the future, will surely be able to see a more distant future in these few seconds!

"Young Grim Reaper, are you truly satisfied with the current state of the Three Realms?"

A voice rang directly in Iori's ear; it was Yhwach, who had lost his human form.

"Hollows, Shinigami, humans, Quincy... different races cannot live in the same world. However, even if we separate their worlds, we cannot solve the most fundamental problem. The foundation of the entire world is built on the fragile cycle of the three realms."

The Spirit King, high above in the sky, can do nothing even with divine power; this world will face the crisis of collapse sooner or later!

Only true strongmen... only beings like you and me can save all of this!

I will replace that inactive god and bring true peace to the three realms!

Whether Hollow or Shinigami, human or Quincy, all will be freed from their current constraints and attain eternal happiness in a peaceful and free world...

In that kind of world, you can do whatever you want... except you, who are the king walking among men!

With such power, are you really content to play the role of an ordinary Grim Reaper in Seireitei?

With Yu by our side, there is no individual in this world who can stand above us!

"I am God, and you are King, forever and ever!"

"..."

If someone who knows the inside story of the "Spirit King" were to hear this, they might actually be swayed.

However, Iori turned a deaf ear... not because she was of noble character and therefore unaffected by temptation.

Rather, it means that if Iori has any ideas, she can take care of them all herself without relying on anyone else.

"You seem to have misunderstood something... So-called 'cooperation' is a social relationship that only occurs between individuals of similar strength."

The moment you have this idea, you've already lost the right to cooperate—I won't work with someone who lacks self-awareness.

"..."

Yhwach remained silent; the only sound in the room was the overwhelming, almost inaudible sound of the sun drawing air from the atmosphere.

I wonder how much longer this giant can hold on?

"good."

Iori looked at the giant with a mixture of amazement and curiosity, after all, this was a new ability he had never seen before in the original work.

However, he quickly shook his head, freeing his right hand to pull out a rough, unrefined longsword from his personal space.

"As expected of the King of Quincy... but what do you plan to do with the second one?"

hum!

Platinum stars fell from the far reaches of the sky, directly hitting the scorching white sun!

Chapter 498 Holy Script A (Absolute Forgiveness)

There is absolutely no "shield" that can withstand this attack!

Yhwach did not dodge; in fact, he knew it was an attack he could not avoid. He also did not use the power of the "Brain in a Vat," because the substances that could survive the creation of the world were beyond his "imagination."

His millennia of experience gave him wisdom that surpassed that of most humans, but clearly there were no references or data to draw upon from his past experiences.

Even though it was his first time seeing that platinum star, he quickly realized what it really meant.

The so-called "white horse" uses the sun, which symbolizes brilliance and justice, as its vessel, and specializes in the concept of "judging evil," using flames that burn away all evil to defeat the enemy.

But the Platinum Star... is something far sharper. Immortality, divinity, defense—under this divine blade, nothing else matters!

It was as if the concept of "slashing" had been partially materialized. All material existence would be destroyed equally, and even the White Horse collapsed in the fierce collision. However, the huge energy fluctuations caused by this were like a black hole that swallowed space, and the powerful gravitational tides pushed Yhwach toward the sky.

Among the colossal celestial bodies that could devour all light, only that platinum star shone brightly. What it emitted was not radiance, but the final note of destruction that would shatter everything!

Looking at it, this surreal scene resembles a solar eclipse with reversed colors...

Locked onto by this "slash," he had no chance to dodge. Merely changing his position physically was not enough; his body was destined to be destroyed without leaving a trace.

"It's...not over yet!!"

The incomplete giant of light gathered powerful magic, and its beautiful crystal body quickly dissipated into pure spiritual pressure fluctuations.

boom! ! ! ! ! ! !

A flash of light appeared, and what was ignited seemed to be not just spiritual pressure, but the entire world itself. The spiritual flames, compressed to their extreme, instantly triggered a chain of calamities.

Is it a desperate gamble?

The spiritual flames shot into the sky and collided with the falling platinum star—and were then mercilessly crushed!

The distorted space tore the flames into countless smooth fragments, which were then sucked into the deep black hole. The Quincy King's final counterattack vanished without a trace.

has it ended?

The moment the thought flashed through Iori's mind, the core of the spiritual flame materialized into a vortex, from which a torrent of black liquid flowed out.

Within that viscous liquid, countless blood-red eyes emerged, drifting with the current...

"Hahahaha! Naive! So naive!"

You almost succeeded, but death is ultimately a lowly being!
