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

Just a hair's breadth away, yes, just a tiny bit more—and you could have killed me!

Yhwach's voice rang out again, contemptuously and triumphantly proclaiming, "You cannot surpass me. This defeat will only make me stronger. What cannot kill me will ultimately perish by my hand—"

As soon as the words fell, the dark, turbid stream, carrying countless eyes, split into countless streams and fled in all directions, like a dirty meteor shower. It even overcame gravitational tides, and its speed was comparable to lightning.

"Farewell, Death!"

The Quincy King was very pleased with himself—and he certainly had reason to be.

After all, such a powerful attack had completely exceeded his ability to cope... yet he managed to break it with such a peculiar method, rendering all of Iori's plans futile.

Why shouldn't he feel proud?

however--

"I see, so that's how it is~"

Iori suddenly laughed, not a cold laugh or a bitter laugh, but a very ordinary smile.

"Are you that afraid of me?"

"..."

Yhwach's mind temporarily ceased functioning, but his "clones" accelerated instead.

"What did you say?"

"I originally thought you were a more aloof and arrogant individual. After all, you are called a 'king' and should at least have the corresponding demeanor. But in the end, you are just this level of being."

Iori said with apparent disappointment, "Strategies are a means for the weak to fight against the strong, and are unnecessary for the absolutely strong."

You, who proclaim yourself the ruler of the three realms, the creator of the Quincy and the Empire of Light—at your core, you are nothing more than a pathetic creature who will do anything to survive, clinging to life from beginning to end.

"——!!!"

"To be honest, I'm very disappointed right now."

Iori turned the Savior Blade around on her own, saying something as she did so.

"Now I can confirm that fighting you will not bring me any pleasure... it's just going through the motions."

"..."

“I understand. The difference in strength between us is so obvious—and you clearly recognize that as well. So choosing to run away is perfectly understandable. If I were in your shoes, I probably would have done the same.”

But... why are you so smug just because you survived from my clutches?!

Does this mean that you have given up all hope of defeating me in the future, and think that this is enough to be considered an honor?

"How... pitiful~"

The man's voice echoed in the space. The silent Quincy King could do nothing but flee in panic under the radiant light of the Platinum Star.

He knew this was Iori's territory, but in the current situation, spatial rifts were everywhere, and there was even a dark abyss that could devour the world. With his "omniscience and omnipotence," finding a way to survive would be quite simple.

Especially that platinum star, it is terrifying as it is, but its very existence is like a hammer, crushing back and forth in the glassy space... The more it ravages, the greater Yhwach's chances of finding a way to escape!

From this perspective, Yhwach actually relied on Iori's power to protect himself in battle.

"I... will definitely come back!"

As long as I can return to Soul Society... No!

This time we're heading to the "Boundary"!

In that place where the flow of time is ambiguous, find an absolutely secluded valley and choose an excellent place to sleep.

A thousand years... ten thousand years!

No matter how long it takes, he will definitely regain his strength and challenge Aizen Iori again with a brand new look!

However, he never got that chance.

"Don't you understand? Right now, I'm the only one who can make a choice. Your position is just one of those whose fate is being decided."

Fine, I'll show you with my actions.

The next instant, Iori closed his eyes and connected with the savior sword in his hand. The platinum star in the sky expanded again, covering most of the sky. At the same time, he released the essence of the divine artifact.

Om-!

A dark starry sky, a shattered ocean, a collapsing space... a world on the verge of collapse is instantly covered by dazzling golden light.

The effect of [King of the World] has been maximized, turning the space of the Mountain and River Map into an impregnable fortress!

Then, an enormous platinum celestial body suddenly disintegrated, transforming into a circular mandala array that appeared in the sky above the golden world. Subsequently, divine artifacts fell from the squares.

In this world, they seemed to be plated with a layer of gold, and no matter what they originally looked like, they became incomparably gorgeous, floating disorderly in mid-air, almost filling every inch of space.

—The Divine Blade Mandala Formation!

All the weapons of the gods are here, possessing not only the mystery of god-slaying power but also sufficient physical destructive force!

"Fall!"

With a loud shout from Iori, countless golden divine artifacts rained down like a meteor shower, striking every corner of the sky. Each artifact could pierce through the thin layer of "world," creating a terrifying tsunami-like surge.

In an instant, even with Iori's divine power, the entire world began to shake violently, especially the sea, which was prone to creating waves hundreds or thousands of meters high!

These incredibly powerful divine weapons are all so accurate that they can be described as "always hitting the mark," like keen hunting dogs pinning eyeballs and streams of black liquid to the space!

"Aaaaaaahhhhhh—Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

Yhwach's voice was filled with restrained pain, as if he were trying his best to cover something up.

Iori's ability to so effortlessly stop the Platinum Star and then switch to using the precise strike of the Mandala Array... was something Yhwach hadn't anticipated.

This not only means that Iori has a wide range of methods, but also shows that he has not gone all out and has plenty of room for maneuver!

"How dare you-"

"Next up is this!"

Iori said indifferently, then raised the divine sword high.

The great array in the sky suddenly accelerated its rotation, and an indescribable amount of spiritual pressure poured in, which Iori used entirely to nourish the savior sword.

Although the Steel Godhood theoretically requires the essence of earth to unleash its full power, and other attributes are not optimal, as long as the "quantity" is sufficient, it is enough to make up for the difference in compatibility.

"Liberate the world with divine thunder!"

Countless divine artifacts shed their physical forms, transforming into streaks of lightning that connected heaven and earth, restoring the entire world to one!

boom--! ! !

A clash that was a foregone conclusion.

"Well!"

The eyeballs were almost completely destroyed!

After the lightning, which had lasted for an unknown period of time, gradually dissipated, Yhwach, the Quincy King, emerged from a shadow. His body was in a state of disarray, and flame-like spiritual particles began to emanate from the edges.

It should be noted that the Quincy's signature technique is [Spirit Particle Clustering], and Yhwach, as the King, theoretically possesses the strongest Spirit Particle Manipulation.

However, even now, let alone the free spirit particles from the outside world, Yhwach can't even control the spirit particles that make up his own body...

This clearly demonstrates that Yhwach was already at his last gasp!

"...Hehehehehehehehehehehehehe!"

After a long silence, Yhwach burst into maniacal laughter.

"So that's how it is, hahaha, so that's how it is. So I've never truly escaped the influence of the Spirit King, which has led me to this state!"

……Father!

Are you watching? Can you hear me?

Father! I now... question everything you say!

It was a complete revelation—Yohabach had an epiphany in his extreme state.

The dissipation of the Soul King's will was not his father's recognition or support, and meeting Aizen Iori was not a trial at all!

The Spirit King never entrusted the "Three Realms" to him; he merely indulged his actions!

Because no matter how he pushes his plans forward, as long as he encounters Aizen Iori, all the countless possibilities will be forcibly brought to a single ending!

A father may set trials for his son, and leave him assets and tools... but if it's an insurmountable wall, and there's no way to stop it... then it can only mean one thing:

His father never had any expectations of him!

"I once thought... that I had gained recognition and trust... and indeed, it has never changed from beginning to end..."

If I want to survive, I can only rely on myself!

Developing dependence and expectations towards that shameful father... ultimately stems from my immaturity!

Then, he raised his head and glared fiercely at Iori.

"But I will not admit defeat!"

My birth, my existence, my great deeds—all are for the destruction of the Three Realms and the return to chaos!

Even if I am stripped of my existence, I will not give up; even if I lose all my power, I will fight to the very last moment.

King Ling! Father!

I want to prove to you that I am no longer an infant that you can manipulate at will!

Death, you won't make me submit!

My future will never end!

The final power of the Soul King was released, and a thunderous blue flash enveloped Yhwach. The Quincy King disappeared from his spot, ignored spatial barriers, and arrived in mid-air, drawing back his massive spirit bow and aiming at Iori.

—But its strength is far less than that of the one released before.

From either perspective, this is a dead end, a situation where the victim has been forced into a corner.

However, when the two looked at each other, neither wavered or hesitated.

Iori gripped the Platinum Sword tightly, and at that moment, his mind flashed back to all the things he had experienced in the Soul Society.

He opened his eyes again, his gaze deep yet incredibly clear.

"Don't worry, you won't be the only one to die by the divine sword. Whether it's the Zero Division or the Spirit King himself..."

But all of that is irrelevant to you now. Drown in that unfulfilled ambition—Yhwach!

"Aizen!!!"

Amidst the apocalyptic scene of the world falling apart, a dazzling platinum aurora pierced through the chest of the Quincy King!
