Chapter 625: The Future Gradually Leans Towards History
Gin Ichimaru followed Yamamoto's gaze and saw a man wearing a crimson cloak and with messy hair standing in the air.
The man had a slight smile on his face, but he didn't make people feel close to him at all. Even if Yamamoto didn't tell him that he was the legendary King of Quincy Yhwach, he would still be branded with the word "dangerous".
Gin Ichimaru's hand had been grasped on the hilt of the knife at his waist. He had seen many "dangerous" people in his life, such as Yamamoto, Aizen, and Hongjiang.
The danger of these people would appear to be "gentle". Yes, gentleness, a word that is somewhat incompatible with danger, can be used for these people. At least compared with Yhwach in front of him, the danger of gentleness does exist.
Even if the blood-stained eyes are as calm as water, they still make people feel indifferent. The rough face, like an axe and a knife, seems to make people feel uneasy no matter what expression appears on it.
Hongjiang looked through Ichimaru Gin's eyes and saw Yhwach standing still in the sky. His breathing became rapid.
He couldn't be sure if this was the real Yhwach. History had changed here. In other words, since they broke into the Invisible Empire, they had already flapped their butterfly wings to change history.
Originally, Yhwach launched a surprise attack on the Soul Society. He should have entered the underground prison Mujian at first and tried to win over Aizen to be his companion.
Mujian was located just underground in the First Squadron's barracks. From this point of view, if the one in front of him was a fake Yhwach, then it would be a mistake for him to keep Yamamoto in the First Squadron.
So the person in front of him was the real Yhwach?
And his appearance also meant that the ultimate goal of the Quincy's action this time was really the old man Yama?
Hongjiang was a little unsure for a while. There was some entanglement with the historical changes, but more of it was that he could not support Yamamoto in time.
At the moment, he can only rely on Gin Ichimaru and the Arrancars, but is it really possible for these people to deal with Yhwach, even if it is a fake Yhwach?
Hongjiang knows very well that no matter whether the Yhwach that appears is real or fake, Yamamoto is the only one who can deal with him in the Soul Society.
Should Gin Ichimaru remind Yamamoto to delay time, or should he let Gin Ichimaru take action to test it first?
Maybe after a certain period of observation, Yamamoto can discover some details? After all, when it comes to understanding Yhwach, he is far less than Yamamoto, who was once his opponent.
Just as Hongjiang was weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Yhwach, who was standing quietly in mid-air, slowly spoke, as if he was talking to an old acquaintance: "It's been a thousand years, Yamamoto."
Then he repeated his tone, as if jokingly continuing: "Except that you look much older, you seem to have not changed much from a thousand years ago. You are still the cunning and ruthless guy."
Yamato raised his eyebrows, his face full of disdain: "What are you talking about?"
Yhwach raised the corner of his mouth and smiled and replied: "Isn't it that you watched your subordinates fall one by one, and waited until you could see the overall situation before coming out to make a fatal blow. , a ruthless and... smart approach. "
"Oh no, this time we have to add a bunch of annoying hollows. You seem to have become more reckless in order to win in the past thousand years."
"What nonsense!" Yamamoto shouted angrily: "It seems that the thousand years of silence have not changed you in the slightest, but it's good this way, I will personally put an end to your ignorance and ambition that has not been extinguished for a thousand years!"
"Really? That's what I want."
Yhuhabach's slightly low voice seemed to ring a warning bell in Hongjiang's heart. He knew he had to do something, even if it might put Ichimaru Gin in danger.
"Gin, attack him, quickly!" Hongjiang's anxious voice sounded in Ichimaru Gin's mind.
Ichimaru Gin did not hesitate at all, and the short knife on his waist was instantly unsheathed, but at the moment he shot, a heat wave hit him from behind, causing his figure to stagger.
When he adjusted his posture, he found that both Yamamoto and Yhwach had disappeared. The two spiritual pressures that seemed to attract everyone's attention moved away at an astonishing speed. "It seems that he, no, they don't want me to interfere in their battle." Ichimaru Gin replied to Hongjiang helplessly, and at the same time he was secretly sighing in his heart that such a collision between levels seemed to be something he could not interfere with or control. "Damn it!" Hongjiang, who was still rushing over, couldn't help but waved his fist. He was not blaming Ichimaru Gin, but he hated his powerlessness at the moment. Regardless of whether Yhwach was real or fake, Ichimaru Gin could only take action just now. In other words, it was a gamble with Ichimaru Gin's life, betting that the unknown Yhwach could focus on Ichimaru Gin, and betting that in a short period of time, Yamamoto could find something and calm down. Unfortunately, this gamble did not succeed. No, it should be more ironic, because these two people did not even give Hongjiang a chance to fail. Yamamoto is now extremely calm and extremely angry. This is not contradictory in him. Watching the enemy who should have died in his hands a thousand years ago and now causing chaos in Soul Society, one can imagine the anger in Yamamoto's heart.
At the same time, he was calm. He knew that all this must and could only be solved by him personally.
It was unrealistic to expect the Gotei 13 to counterattack as a whole. Even with the participation of the Arrancar, they could only barely slow down the attack of the Stern Cross Knights.
At this time, if the leader of the opponent could be killed, then regardless of whether the remaining Quincies could pose a threat to Yamamoto, from the perspective of war, the winner would be clear.
Therefore, whether from the perspective of the confidence and responsibility of being the captain-general or from the perspective of strategy, you cannot say that Yamamoto made an uncalm decision to fight against Yhwach.
Just because he was uncalm did not mean that he would not make mistakes. If he wanted to fight against Yhwach, even Yamamoto could not do it with his Shikai alone. Only the Bankai that had not been used for a thousand years could have the possibility of defeating the opponent.
So even if he had learned that the Quincy could seize Bankai, Yamamoto would still choose to use Bankai to fight the enemy with his personality. He was the most confident person in the entire Soul Society, and he was qualified to maintain this confidence.
But this confidence could also become his most fatal wound. However, it was impossible for Ichimaru Gin to persuade Yamamoto. From the moment Yamamoto decided to take action, no one's persuasion could affect this old man.
"You say, since the Quincy seized the Bankai and kept it in their own bodies, then is it possible that they can't bear the Bankai of old man Yamamoto?" Yoruichi broke the suffocating silence, "You know, that is the oldest and most powerful Zanpakuto Bankai in Soul Society."
"But if it is Yhwach, can he really not bear the Bankai of Ryujin Jakka?" Hiroe said with gritted teeth.
Yoruichi continued, "But you also said that it might be a fake Yhwach."
Hongjiang rubbed his hair irritably, "I can only hope that the old man Yama is facing a fake Yhwach."
Yes, if it is a fake Yhwach, then they still have a chance to support Yamamoto and change the tragic future that Hongjiang has seen.
At this moment, the space where the few people are suddenly paused, and the closed door opened, revealing a white desert outside.
They finally passed through the layers of space and returned to Hueco Mundo!
