Chapter 498: Respective Beliefs

After having this understanding, Aangdu didn't care about anything else and hurriedly ran away from Ichimaru Gin and Matsumoto Rangiku.

The Quincy of the Invisible Empire left the Invisible Empire with the help of "Shadow Space" and appeared in Soul Society.

Because the technology is not yet mature, the time the Quincy of the Invisible Empire can appear in the outside world is limited.

Until the Invisible Empire pulls the Quincy back, they cannot use the "shadow space" to build a passage back to the Ice Palace of the Invisible Empire.

Therefore, Cangdu wanted to escape and find a place to hide. After the invisible empire space channel was opened, he immediately returned to the Ice Palace.

"Can you escape?"

Seeing Cangdu trying to escape, Ichimaru Gin's narrowed eyes flashed with a cold light.

How could Ichimaru Gin let the guy who hurt Rangiku escape?

The Zanpakutō's swastika is to manifest the Zanpakutō and release its power within the range of its spiritual pressure.

Ichimaru Gin's "magic gun" can reach a length of thirteen kilometers.

In other words, as long as Aodu did not escape thirteen kilometers away from Ichimaru Gin, he would be within Ichimaru Gin's attack range.

Stretching out his hand in the direction of Cangdu, Ichimaru Gin whispered: "Swastika - God Killing Spear!"

"ah!"

Following Ichimaru Gin's low groan, white light suddenly erupted from Cangdu's body as he was escaping.

Cangdu let out a shrill scream. Under the white light, Cangdu's body was directly melted, and finally completely disappeared in the Seireitei.

In the previous attack on Cangdu, Ichimaru Gin had already left the "ash" turned into by the divine spear in Cangdu's body.

Cangdu's ability is "steel", which can make his body's strength reach the level of steel, greatly improving both attack and defense.

However, comparable to "steel", it is not "steel" after all.

Cangdu's body is still composed of "cells" composed of spiritual beings.

Under the toxin of Gin Ichimaru's "God Killing Gun" that can dissolve cells, Aodu was killed directly without the slightest resistance.

…

"Long time no see, Yuan Liu Zhai!"

In the first team, Yhwach appears behind Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

"Thousands of years ago, I was defeated by you because of a sneak attack by that kid."

"This time, the kid who attacked me has been severely injured, and the swastika has been sealed by me. You have no help, Genryusai!"

Yhwach opened his hand, and in an instant, a blue giant sword condensed from spirit seeds appeared in Yhwach's hand and slashed at Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

"boom!"

Blazing flames exploded from the first team. Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's Zanpakutō collided with Yhwach's Reiko sword, and a powerful shock wave erupted.

The entire captain's room of the first team was directly destroyed by the spread of the shock wave.

"Youhabach..."

Matsumoto Genryusai Shigekuni said coldly.

Compared with a thousand years ago, both Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni and Yhwach are no longer young.

However, in comparison, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni is already very old, and Yhwach, maybe because of missing nine hundred years, still looks like a middle-aged man.

"I haven't seen you for a thousand years, you are getting old, Yuan Liu Zhai!"

Yhwach said solemnly.

"I'm just old, not dead!"

Faced with Yhwach's provocation, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni responded strongly.

Reiatsu exploded, and Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's Zanpakutō exerted force, directly knocking Yhwach back.

Then, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni placed his Zanpakutō across his chest: "Yohabach, I could kill you a thousand years ago, and I can kill you now, a thousand years later!"

"Swastika-Remnant Fire Sword!"

"boom!"

The pillar of fire that reached the sky erupted from the body of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, and the unparalleled high temperature spread to the surroundings with Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni as the center.

The water vapor in the air is evaporated instantly.

The trees, flowers and plants in Seireitei withered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The clouds in the sky also quickly dissipated.

Within the entire area of ​​Seireitei, the sky and the earth turned gray.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's Zanpakutō's swastika "Residual Fire Taitō" can turn Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's spiritual pressure into a high temperature of 15 million degrees, which is comparable to the core temperature of the sun.

It can be said that once Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni unlocks his Zanpakutō, he will be equivalent to a sun.

Even if Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni doesn't take action, his existence will continue to cause damage to Soul Society and eventually destroy the entire Soul Society.

In other words, as long as Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni doesn't want to destroy Soul Society, his swastika cannot exceed a certain time limit.

However, facing Yhwach, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni wouldn't be sure to defeat him if he didn't know the swastika.

"Buzz!"

It was obviously a high temperature that could destroy heaven and earth, but everyone in the entire Seireitei felt a bone-chilling chill.

Under this terrifying spiritual pressure, all the Shinigami and Quincy below the captain level felt like they would be burned by the high temperature at any time.

Even a strong person at the captain level cannot guarantee that he can survive in such an environment for a long time.

If they were to face Captain Yamamoto directly, they might not even be able to take a sword from Captain Yamamoto.

…

"This is Captain Yamamoto's spiritual pressure."

When Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's spiritual pressure exploded, the morale of the Shinigami suddenly soared.

Although most of the Shinigami had never seen Captain Yamamoto, this did not prevent them from worshipping Captain Yamamoto.

You know, a thousand years ago, the entire Soul Society was still controlled by the nobles, and the Shinigami were the exclusive guards of the nobles.

At that time, no matter how talented people were, if they wanted to become a Shinigami, they had to sell their lives to the nobles.

It was Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni who led the assassin organization he formed to break into the Soul Society and forcefully seized the right to guard the Soul Society from the nobles.

Afterwards, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni renamed the "Yuanzizhai" where he taught his disciples to the "Central Spiritual Arts Academy", teaching civilians with Shinigami qualifications for free, giving people in Rukongai an additional channel for advancement.

A thousand years is not long or short in the Soul Society.

However, this does not prevent all the Shinigami who have studied in the Central Spiritual Academy from respecting Captain-General Yamamoto.

Captain-General Yamamoto's title of "the strongest Shinigami in a thousand years" is not just talk.

This is the reputation he earned by killing with his sword.

Unohana Yachiryu is "the greatest villain in Soul Society before and after", but he dares not act rashly under the command of Captain-General Yamamoto.

For the Shinigami in the Gotei 13, Captain-General Yamamoto is equivalent to "invincible"!

As long as Captain-General Yamamoto takes action, there is no enemy that Captain-General Yamamoto cannot defeat.

"Your Majesty——"

Like the Shinigami, the Quincies also felt the spiritual pressure of Yhwach.

For these Quincies, Yhwach is their "God".

Although the predecessor of the Invisible Empire, the Empire of Light, was defeated by the Gotei 13 led by Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni a thousand years ago, even their emperor Yhwach was killed and had to spend nine hundred years to wake up again.

However, these Quincies also have enough confidence in Yhwach.

The abilities bestowed by Yhwach on the Quincies will be completely returned to Yhwach after the Quincies die.

In other words, the more Quincies die, the stronger Yhwach will be!

Thousands of years ago, except for those Quincies of the Empire of Light who fled to the shadow of the Soul Society to establish the "Invisible Empire", the rest were destroyed by the Death Gods.

Not only that, the Quincies with Quincy blood in the present world were also slaughtered by the Death Gods more than two hundred years ago, and only the pure-blooded Quincies of the Ishida family and the Kurosaki family remained.

With so many Quincies dead, the reawakened Yhwach naturally has greatly improved his strength.

It is precisely because of the improvement of Yhwach's strength that he has perfected the final form of the Quincy, the Perfect Body, and created the "Blood Suit" in nine years.

For these Quincies, their "gods" will not fail either!

For a moment, the battle between the Shinigami and the Quincies became more intense.

...

"Tramp, tramp..."

Footsteps sounded in the darkness.

"Oh?"

A faint exclamation sounded, and Aizen opened his eyes.

"I was wondering who would come here at this time. It turned out to be the King of the Quincies, His Majesty Youhabach..."

"But, King of the Quincies, you are here now, aren't you afraid that all your soldiers will be killed by the Shinigami?"

"Tramp, tramp..."

A dark light appeared above Aizen Sosuke, shining on the sealed Aizen like a stage spotlight.

In the halo, Youhabach's body appeared in front of Aizen Sosuke.

"Aizen, Sosuke."

"I came here to invite you to join us."

"At the same time, I also want to know more about that person from you..."

"That person?"

The corners of Aizen Sosuke's mouth rose slightly.

"I see, I was wondering why you came to me."

"Yhuhabach, it seems that your omniscience and omnipotence are just that."

"If I guess correctly, is the future you see trapped in that yellow crystal?"

"Oh no..."

"Captain Ayrin may seem cold and ruthless, but in fact he is the most emotional of the Death Gods."

"He will definitely not let you become the second Soul King and enjoy the loneliness of not being able to see the future at a glance..."

"That is to say, the future you can see should be the future in which you are killed by Captain Ayrin."

Yhuhabach remained silent.

He did not deny Aizen Sosuke's guess.

Indeed, a thousand years ago, before he was killed by Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, his own spiritual pressure broke through a little seal of Hyoshubu Ichibei, and through the power of "omniscience and omnipotence", he saw the future of killing Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, killing Hyoshubu Ichibei, and killing the Soul King a thousand years later.

At that time, Yhwach knew that his theater was still a thousand years later.

However, after Yhwach regained his consciousness ninety years ago, he found that the future he saw had changed a lot.

Sometimes, he had just sneaked up and seized Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, and was killed by Erin.

Sometimes, he was killed by Erin without fighting Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

Sometimes, I had just launched my first attack on the Soul Society when Urahara Kisuke discovered the existence of the Invisible Empire and analyzed the channel of the shadow space, allowing the Soul Society Gotei 13 to enter the Ice Palace, ending my plan before it even began.

Sometimes, what Yhwach saw was that I killed Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, climbed up to the Soul King Palace, and was marked as an "ant" and slapped to death by Hyoshubu Ichibei.

Sometimes, I was killed by Aylin after killing Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, rushing up to the Soul King Palace, and killing Hyoshubu Ichibei.

Sometimes, after killing Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, Hyoshubu Ichibei, and the Soul King, I was killed by Aizen Sosuke and Kurosaki Ichigo...

Sometimes, after defeating the combined forces of Aizen Sosuke and Kurosaki Ichigo, I was killed by Aylin...

The future seems to be changing every moment.

But the only thing that remains unchanged seems to be the death of Youhabach.

In order to find his own glimmer of hope, Youhabach has not dared to neglect it over the years.

When he was asleep at night, he gave his power to Haschwald, making Haschwald the carrier of his power, that is, his half body, and Haschwald would watch the future for him.

Youhabach was not afraid that he would die in the future, but he was afraid that he would suddenly lose the power to observe the future one day.

His ability is "omniscience and omnipotence", which allows Youhabach to have the power to change the past and the future.

As long as he has such an ability, Youhabach can seize a glimmer of hope in his countless future deaths.

Among them, Aizen Sosuke is an important node for Youhabach to change the future.

Aizen Sosuke, in the future observed by Youhabach, one of them is to kill him together with Kurosaki Ichigo.

Therefore, Youhabach marked Aizen Sosuke and Kurosaki Ichigo as "special combat power".

Among the five special forces marked by Youhabach, all of them have killed him in the future he observed.

Among them, Erin is the one who killed the most of him.

If Youhabach wants to survive and fulfill his long-cherished wish, how to defeat Erin is the top priority.

As mentioned earlier, Youhabach can give his blood to his subordinates to awaken the power of "Holy Words".

The death of subordinates, or Youhabach personally uses "Holy Separation" to recover the power of the Quincies, completely recover the power of the Quincies selected by Youhabach to himself, and enhance his own strength.

Therefore, Youhabach wants to transform the three "special forces" of Aizen, Kurosaki Ichigo, and Urahara Kisuke into Quincies, and then "Holy Separation" absorbs their power to make his own strength even better. (End of this chapter)
