Chapter 127: Haschwalth is not me, but I am Haschwalth ()

What the hell is that noise?

Hearing the voice in his ear, Yhwach, who was just about to fall into a deep sleep, was stunned for a moment and reacted instantly.

"Lin Que!"

A light sword suddenly appeared in his hand, and Yhwach slashed in the direction the voice came from.

Boom—!

The unstoppable sword energy swept across, and the huge ice palace was cut into two pieces in an instant.

"Is there a need to be so irritable?"

Standing behind Yhwach, Lin Que looked at this ancestor of the Quincy with some confusion.

"Opening with a big move right away; if I didn't know better, I'd think I killed your whole family."

Yhwach: "?"

You really know how to talk.

After immediately distancing himself from Lin Que, Yhwach looked at Lin Que with a serious expression.

"Are you the one who has been peeping at me these past few days?"

"Hmm? So you noticed."

Lin Que understood: "No wonder you sent someone to find me."

The foundation of Observation Haki is still too poor.

Even if Lin Que's high foundation boosted the effect of Observation Haki, it couldn't change its operating principle.

Using that simple and crude way of perception to peep at Yhwach, it was normal for the other party to feel it.

Of course, Lin Que didn't care too much about this.

Anyway, he only learned this stuff out of interest in the first place.

Later, he felt that mind-reading was quite useful, so he never changed it.

Now that his perception was falling behind, he would just change to a slightly more advanced one.

For example...

Yhwach's The Almighty.

Boom—!

A huge explosion sounded, and Yhwach, who was still confronting Lin Que a second ago, flew out without warning and smashed into the ruins behind.

"Your Majesty!"

Seeing Yhwach suddenly being knocked away, Haschwalth's expression sank, and his gaze turned to the surrounding Sternritter.

"Everyone, attack together, hold him..."

"Hold me?"

Before Haschwalth could finish his sentence, a palm grabbed his neck first and lifted him up.

"Since you like dreaming so much, I'll give you a dream you'll never wake up from."

Lin Que smiled as he activated [Ultimate Life Form], which he had only obtained a few minutes ago.

An intangible ripple spread quietly, and the world in Lin Que's eyes changed in this instant.

Haschwalth was still Haschwalth, but he was not just Haschwalth.

Looking through Haschwalth's body surface, Lin Que could clearly see the origin representing the concept of 'Haschwalth' inside him.

That was a cluster of golden radiance.

The golden radiance was composed of many faint golden light spots; Lin Que scanned it and instantly understood what these golden light spots represented.

Haschwalth's memories, Haschwalth's Schrift ability, Haschwalth's Quincy ability, Haschwalth's connection with everyone who knew him...

Everything Haschwalth possessed made up the concept of 'Haschwalth'.

And at the same time, two choices for devouring it appeared in Lin Que's mind.

Devour it all at once and absorb it into the body to digest slowly.

Devour a part first, and then devour while digesting.

Lin Que did not hesitate and chose the first method, devouring the cluster of golden radiance in one go.

"Ahhh!!!"

Seemingly feeling something, Haschwalth, who had always been calm and composed, suddenly let out a painful wail.

His eyes widened, and his hands grabbed the arm on his neck, trying to interrupt Lin Que's action.

But this was just futile; in the face of a huge gap in strength, he couldn't shake Lin Que in the slightest, no matter how hard he tried.

The next second, in the horrified eyes of the people around, Haschwalth's body gradually became transparent and finally disappeared from the spot, leaving nothing behind.

"Haschwalth! You... what is going on here?"

Not far away, Bazz-B, who had the deepest relationship with Haschwalth and was about to rush over to save him, was suddenly stunned on the spot as soon as he approached.

"Strange, your name is clearly Lin Que, why did I call you Haschwalth?"

"Wait... are you really 'Lin Que'?"

Looking at Lin Que in front of him, and then at the destroyed environment around him, a look of confusion appeared on Bazz-B's face.

In his first memory, it was Lin Que who attacked Yhwach and then attacked 'Lin Que'.

But in another cluster of memories, it was the scene of 'Lin Que' growing up with him and just being attacked by Lin Que.

The unknown enemy and the partner who grew up together, the two people looked exactly like Lin Que.

Two completely different memories in his mind conflicted with each other, and the expression on Bazz-B's face gradually twisted.

"What is going on? What just happened?!"

"Oh? Is this the effect of concept replacement?"

Lin Que looked at Bazz-B thoughtfully: "Forcibly replacing the original owner with my existence, interesting."

If he hadn't attacked Yhwach in front of him just now and devoured Haschwalth.

I'm afraid Bazz-B, whose memory was not confused, wouldn't even have any doubts and would treat him directly as the original owner.

Thinking about it, Lin Que temporarily turned off the concept replacement effect of 'Haschwalth' and looked at Bazz-B.

"Memory... restored! You killed Haschwalth!"

Bazz-B, who was just confused, reacted instantly.

Looking at Lin Que in front of him, Bazz-B, with an angry expression, raised his palm directly and launched an attack at him.

"Burning Full Fingers!"

Extremely scorching high temperature gathered rapidly, accumulating in the five fingers of Bazz-B's left hand.

The next instant, Bazz-B shot out this flame, turning it into a powerful vortex-shaped conical flame that rushed towards Lin Que.

"I killed Haschwalth?"

Pfft~!

After casually swatting away this flame, Lin Que smiled and shook his head, coming to Bazz-B and grabbing his neck.

"That's not right, Bazz-B."

"It's not killing, but merging into one."

"Haschwalth is not me, but I am Haschwalth, do you understand?"

"Stop joking!"

Bazz-B struggled to raise his hands and launched a double Burning Full Fingers at Lin Que.

"You bastard! Go to hell!"

Boom—!

"Sigh, I hate people who aren't sharp-witted."

Taking Bazz-B's attack as if nothing had happened, Lin Que activated [Ultimate Life Form] again.

"Forget it, I'm a broad-minded person, so I won't mind your rude behavior."

"Since you care so much about Haschwalth, I'll send you to see him."
