Chapter 221

Yuhabach, it's been a thousand years! I hope you're already prepared for a fight with us at this moment! This time we will not be lenient! We will slash you down on the ground of this 'Jingling Court' and leave you here forever…

Translation: "Yuhabach, long time no see after a thousand years! I hope you're ready now for a battle with us! This time we won't hold back! We will completely slay you on the earth of the 'Soul Society', leaving you here forever!!"

But we need to be faithful: keep the meaning exactly. Let's break:

Yuhabach, it's been a thousand years! I hope you're already prepared for a fight with us at this moment! This time we will not be lenient! We will slash you down on the ground of this 'Jingling Court' and leave you here forever…

We'll produce: "Yuhabach, it's been a thousand years since we last met! I hope you're now prepared for a battle with us! This time we absolutely won't go easy! We will completely slay you on the land of the 'Soul Society', leaving you here forever!!"

We need to keep the tone. We'll output as one line.

Genryūsai, gripped Flowing Blade Like Fire, standing firm on the earth, is not in a frail old man's posture at this moment but appears before everyone in his peak form from a thousand years ago!

Translation: "Genryūsai gripped Flowing Blade Like Fire, standing firm on the earth; at this moment Genryūsai is not the frail old man but appears before everyone in his peak form from a thousand years ago!"

Gripping Flowing Blade Like Fire, standing firm on the earth, at this moment Genryūsai is not the frail old man but appears before everyone in his peak form from a thousand years ago!

Behold, the young Genryūsai radiates a scorching, invincible aura all over his body, as if as long as he stands here the 'Gotei 13' will never be defeated! His appearance symbolizes the victory of the 'Jingling Court' Shinigami, like an undefeated war god.

Translation: "Only seeing, the young Genryūsai radiates a scorching, invincible aura from head to toe, as if as long as he stands here the 'Gotei 13' will never be defeated! His appearance symbolizes the victory of the 'Soul Society' Soul Reapers, like an invincible war god~"

We need to keep the tilde? The source ends with ~. We'll keep as ~ maybe.

Behind the invincible Genryūsai stand, in order, a long‑haired figure with a detached, slightly cold gaze, gripping a sharp blade and displaying the 'Death Sword' stance—the original captain of the 11th Division and also the original Sword Eight, Mao no Hana Retsu.

Translation: "Behind the invincible Genryūsai, in order, are: one with loose long hair, eyes indifferent yet with a hint of coldness, gripping a sharp blade, displaying the posture of the 'Death Sword'—the first generation Eleventh Division Captain, also the first generation Kenpachi, Unohana Retsu~"

We need to keep the tilde.

With silver‑white short hair and an orange‑red scarf bearing the Shihouin family crest around his neck, he exudes confidence; from his crest and the Shihouin family's signature brown skin, one can infer his true identity as the original captain of the 2nd Division, Shihouin Chiyori.

Translation: "He has silver-white short hair, a scarlet-orange scarf bearing the Shihōin family crest around his neck, his whole body exuding confidence; from his crest and the Shihōin family's trademark brown skin, one can infer his true identity: the first generation Second Division Captain, Shihōin Chijitsu."

We need to keep the period.

He has dark green short hair, wears glasses on his nose, looks unremarkable, yet his eyes carry a shrewdness; his demeanor leans more toward a clever, unarmed merchant than a competent assassin or warrior, but beneath those sharp eyes lies a faint aura of killing intent—the original captain of the 3rd Division, Yan Yuan Jinle.

Translation: "He has dark green short hair, wears glasses on his nose bridge, his appearance ordinary, yet his eyes hold a hint of shrewdness; his temperament leans more toward a savvy unarmed merchant than a competent killer or warrior, but beneath those shrewd eyes lies a faint killing intent—the first generation Third Division Captain, Yan Yuan Jinle."

We need to keep the period.

After that comes the original captain of the 4th Division, Shijima Chimu, who holds a stray weed in his mouth, has a frail build, weary eyes, unhealthy gray‑white long hair, an unnaturally pale complexion as if chronically ill and unrecovered, seeming ready to collapse at a breeze, yet harboring murderous intent.

Translation: "After that comes one holding a weed in his mouth, frail build, weary eyes, with unhealthy-looking grayish-white long hair, face unnaturally pale as if long ill and unrecovered, seeming to topple at a breath of wind yet hiding killing intent—the first generation Fourth Division Captain, Shjima Chimū."

Beside Shijima Chimu stands a robust figure with a bright smile, the complete opposite in demeanor—embodying health, sunshine, and strength! He also has brown short hair like Aizen and even leads a division similar to Aizen's—the original captain of the 5th Division, Oihana Danrō.

Translation: "Beside Shjima Chimū stands a sturdy figure with a refreshing smile, his temperament the complete opposite of Shjima Chimū—he epitomizes health, sunshine, and strength! Moreover, he is also one with brown short hair like Aizen's, belonging to the same division as Aizen, the first generation Fifth Division Captain, Ohanabira Tarō."

We need to keep the exclamation.

Next is a familiar face to the current Gotei 13 captains present, with long lavender hair styled into twin tails—the former 1st Division vice‑captain and also the original captain of the 6th Division, Saito Furofushi—who now once again dons the eye patch she wore during her chuunibyou phase.

Translation: "Next, among the acquaintances of the present Gotei 13 captains, is one with light purple hair tied in twin tails, the former First Division Vice-Captain who is also the first generation Sixth Division Captain, Saito Furōfushi; at this moment Saito Furōfushi once again puts on the eyepatch she wore during her chuunibyou phase~"

We need to keep the tilde.

After Saito Furofushi comes the eye‑watering quartet…

Translation: "After Saito Furōfushi comes the eyesore four-person group……"

We need to keep the ellipsis.

They are, respectively: the original 7th Division captain Shikkō Naitō, with white short hair, a yellowed oversized tooth and a steel‑blue stern face; the original 9th Division captain Kuumen En'ei Tetsu, completely bald, his teeth all gilded and wearing glasses; the original 12th Division captain Zendetera Yūhin, massive as a wild boar with a huge red 'U' on his cheek; and the original 13th Division captain Gyakukotsu Saizō, whose extremely aged, sickly complexion and weary eyes conceal a treacherous, poisonous nature.

Translation: "Specifically: one with white short hair, baring a yellowed set of big buckteeth, his iron-blue face giving a stern impression—the first generation Seventh Division Captain, Shikkō Nobutsuna; and one completely bald, with all teeth inlaid in gold, wearing glasses—the first generation Ninth Division Captain, Hisatsume Enzei Tetsu; a stout build like a wild boar, a huge red U character printed on his cheeks—the first generation Twelfth Division Captain, Zennyōji Arihin; and one whose face is extremely aged, looking sickly, eyes hinting at fatigue, yet beneath that fatigue lies hidden vicious malice—the first generation Thirteenth Division Captain, Gyakukotsu Saizō."

We need to keep the period.

The final one has a slightly goofy sparkle in his eyes, sleek jet‑black long hair, and a voluptuous figure that even Mao no Hana Retsu must step back from; he makes every female member of the Gotei 13, especially the petite‑chested captains led by Kurosaki Rukia, feel insecure—a peerless, utterly clueless, erotic beauty, the original captain of the 8th Division, Shikatori Bakuun Sai.

Translation: "Lastly, one with a hint of cute dazed charm on her face, possessing lustrous black long hair, her voluptuous figure even causing Unohana Retsu to momentarily step back from the edge, making all the women of the Gotei 13, especially the flat-chested captains led by Kuchiki Rukia, once feel inferior—the absolute peerless three-no erotic beauty, the first generation Eighth Division Captain, Rokutori Baku'unsai~"

We need to keep the tilde.

And also the looks‑icon of the original Gotei 13, who, lacking a ruthless aura, is fortunately the target of the original members' ostracism—a man with jet‑black long hair, cyan eyes, a proper appearance with a hint of aristocratic bearing, exuding laziness and confidence, the original captain of the 10th Division, Ōtsukawa Amane.

Translation: "And, the 'First Generation Gotei 13''s looks representative, who fortunately became the object of exclusion by all the first-generation members due to her insufficiently fierce temperament, has black long hair, blue eyes, proper appearance, and a touch of aristocratic aura, her whole body exuding laziness and confidence—the first generation Tenth Division Captain, Ōtōkawa Améo Hime~"

We need to keep the tilde.

In an instant, led by Genryūsai, the original Gotei 13 appeared before Yuhabach and the assembled captains of the 13 Divisions with overwhelming might and no warning; the mere spiritual pressure and murderous aura they unintentionally exuded made everyone present wary, especially given the legends surrounding the original Gotei 13—at this moment the group of captains gave the impression of being all villains!

Translation: "In an instant, led by Genryūsai, the 'First Generation Gotei 13' appeared with overwhelming presence before Yuhabach and the gathered Gotei 13 captains without any warning; merely the spiritual pressure and killing intent unintentionally emitted by these first-generation ones made everyone present dare not look down on them—adding to that, everyone had heard rumors about the 'First Generation Gotei 13' in the past! At this moment, these captains give everyone the feeling of being all villains!"

We need to keep the exclamation.

"Whoa! This massive malice can be felt even from this distance!"

Translation: "Oh my! Such immense malice can be felt even from this far away!"

About a spirit mile away from the original Gotei 13 leaders, Makoto Hirako gazed into the distance where the space of the entire 'Jingling Court' was gradually warping under the original group led by Yamamoto Genryūsai, his forehead breaking into a cold sweat.

Translation: "At a distance of about one spiritual ri from the leaders of the 'First Generation Gotei 13', Hirako Shinji gazed far off at the distance where the entire 'Soul Society' space was gradually distorting, led by Yamamoto Genryūsai's first-generation ones, beads of cold sweat breaking out on their foreheads!"

We need to keep the exclamation.

"Kids, the seniors have all come down from the 'Soul King Palace'! We must keep going, give it our all!"

Translation: "You lot, the seniors have all come down from the 'Soul King Palace'! We must also continue, give it our all!"

Hirako said, turning to the vice‑captains behind him; the strong have strong missions, and they too have missions of their own...

Translation: "Hirako said, looking toward the vice-captains behind him; the strong have their duties as the strong, and they also have their own tasks……"

Indeed, although Hirako hasn't slackened over the years and has even become more diligent—extending his ability to become intangible to over half an hour—he still ends up having to act only alongside the vice‑captains. It's regrettable: despite Hirako's strength, there are simply too many monsters in the 'Jingling Court' for him to rank among them or to join their battles with his current power.

Translation: "Indeed, although Hirako these years has never slacked off, even striving harder, he can already extend his hollowfication time to over half an hour, yet he has ended up only able to act alongside the vice-captains~ It's a pity, Hirako may be strong, but the monsters in the 'Soul Society' are simply too many! With his strength he currently can't even get a ranking, nor join in, amidst those monsters' battles~"

We need to keep the tilde.

On the other side, the main battlefield—

Translation: "On another front, the main battlefield~"

"Ugh! After all these years, it's the first time I've seen the old man Yamamoto so full of vigor! Suddenly I feel as if I've dreamed back a thousand years, when Yamamoto, leading the original Gotei 13, ruled over the entire 'Jingling Court'! Back then the Gotei 13 was a killer organization that, under the name of protection, carried out slaughter, striking fear into every enemy of the Three Realms!"

Translation: "Whoa! After all these years, it's still the first time seeing Old Man Mountain so full of vigor! Suddenly I feel like I've dreamed back a thousand years, when Old Man Mountain led the First Generation Gotei 13, ruling the 'Soul Society' as a sovereign! Back then the 'Gotei 13' was an organization that, under the banner of protection, carried out slaughter, making all enemies of the 'Three Worlds' hear the wind and lose courage—such a killer group~"

We need to keep the exclamation and tilde.

While confronting Penida, Kyōraku Harumi glanced at the nearby original Gotei 13 leaders radiating endless spiritual pressure and couldn't help but exclaim.

Translation: "Kyōraku Shunsui, who was facing off against Pernida, couldn't help but sigh after glancing at the nearby leaders of the 'First Generation Gotei 13' releasing boundless spiritual pressure."

"Hahaha, the senior veterans have all come down from the 'Soul King Palace'!"

Translation: "Hahaha, the great seniors have all come down from the 'Soul King Palace'!"

In response, Koyashiki let out a light laugh and agreed.

Translation: "In response, Kuwashiki chuckled lightly and echoed."

"If that's the case, we can only give our all in battle!"

Translation: "If that's the case, we can only fight with all our might!"

"We can't let the seniors think we're a joke and look down on us juniors!"

Translation: "We can't let the great seniors see us as a joke and look down on us juniors!"

Ichibei held his ice blade, smiled, and said.

Translation: "Hitsugaya Tōshirō gripped an ice blade, smiling as he spoke."

Obviously, all the Gotei 13 captains present are aware of the originals! After all, everyone here has been to the 'Soul King Palace' and knows some of the inside story.

Translation: "Obviously, the captains of the Gotei 13 present all know about the first generation! After all, everyone present has been to the 'Soul King Palace' and knows some inside information!"

Compared to the calm expressions of the Gotei 13 leaders!

Translation: "Compared to the calm expressions of the Gotei 13 leaders!"

Yuhabach looks noticeably more panicked.

Yhwach looks even more panicked.

Translation: "Yuhabach looks, thus appearing much more panicked."

Yuhabach stared in disbelief at Genryūsai and the original Gotei 13 behind him, coldly demanding, "Yamamoto Genryūsai Jūkoku, what's up with your youthful appearance from a thousand years ago? You should have completely aged in this millennium! And the original Gotei 13 behind you—weren't they supposed to have died alongside your younger self a thousand years ago?!"

Translation: "Only seeing Yuhabach incredulously staring at Genryūsai and the first-generation Gotei 13 behind him, he coldly questioned: 'Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni, what's the deal with your youthful appearance from a thousand years ago? You should have completely aged over these thousand years! And those first-generation Gotei 13 behind you—aren't they supposed to have died alongside your younger self a thousand years ago?!'"

"Could it be that the captains behind you are merely the spirits you awakened from the ground using your Zanpakutō's power? Yamamoto Genryūsai Jūkoku, you're truly degenerate! Manipulating enemy spirits is one thing, but you don't even spare your own old subordinates. I feel sorrow for those of your men who, even in death, cannot find peace!"

Translation: "Could it be that the captains behind you are the dead spirits you awakened from underground with your Zanpakutō ability? Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni, you're truly depraved! Playing with enemies' dead spirits is bad enough, but you don't even spare your own old subordinates; I truly feel sorry for those of yours who, even dead, cannot find peace—how pitiful!"

Yuhabach furrowed his brows tightly, pouring all his countless doubts at the Yamamoto Genryūsai standing before him.

Translation: "Yuhabach furrowed his brows tightly, pouring all his doubts into a question directed at the mountain before him, Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni."

"You say my current form is an illusion?"

Translation: "You say my appearance is an illusion?"

"You claim the originals behind me are all dead spirits?"

Translation: "You say those first-generation ones behind me are all dead spirits?"

"Yuhabach, you're downright laughable!"

Translation: "Yuhabach, you're simply ridiculous!"

"Whether my form is truly an illusion and whether the originals behind me are indeed spirits—your inner self should know that clearly..."

Translation: "Whether my appearance is an illusion or not, whether those first-generation ones behind me are dead spirits or not—you should know deep down……"

"Compared to me, you—who were slain a thousand years ago, spent a millennium rising from death—are the phantom unwilling to accept defeat, the very spirit that should have truly perished, aren't you?!"

Translation: "Compared to me, you—who was slain by me a thousand years ago, spent a thousand years crawling out of death—are the unwilling-to-lose illusion, the true spirit that ought to have died!"

At this point, Genryūsai's body erupted with astonishing spiritual pressure.

Translation: "Genryūsai said this, his body already erupting with astonishing spiritual pressure."

Endless flames enveloped Genryūsai...

Translation: "Endless flames wrapped around Genryūsai……"

At that moment, the sword in Genryūsai's hand seemed to become the blazing fire sword once more!

Translation: "At this moment, the sword in Genryūsai's hand seemed to turn again into that Blazing Flame Sword!"

"Genryūsai, have you finally unleashed your Bankai?!"

Translation: "Genryūsai, have you gone Bankai again?!"

Yuhabach glared at Genryūsai, who brandished the luxurious sword, and barked.

Translation: "Yuhabach looked at Genryūsai wielding the splendid sword and coldly shouted."

"Foolish! This is only the Shikai!"

Translation: "Foolish! This is just the initial release!"

Genryūsai declared, his body slashing through the sky as he charged straight at Yuhabach.

Translation: "Genryūsai said, his body tearing through the sky, he directly slashed toward Yuhabach."

"Your Majesty!"

Translation: "Your Majesty!"

With Genryūsai's movement...

Translation: "With Genryūsai's action……"

The ever‑watchful Ishida Uryū and Rain Guran Hassward, who stand beside Genryūsai, instantly changed expression, moving left and right to shield Yuhabach in the center.

Translation: "The ever-present guardians at Genryūsai's side, Ishida Uryū and Ugyan Hasuwode, instantly changed expression, one left one right, shielding Yuhabach in the center."

"Hm?!"

Translation: "Huh?!"

Yuhabach wasn't sure whether it was his illusion.

Translation: "Yuhabach himself didn't know if it was his illusion."

As Uryū and Hassward moved, he lost any place to dodge...

Translation: "As Ishida Uryū and Ugyan Hasuwode moved, he instead lost his place to dodge……"

Originally, Yuhabach intended to evade Genryūsai's charged strike first and then find a way to counter, but now he is forced to stand his ground against Genryūsai's overwhelming sword!

Translation: "Originally Yuhabach planned to first dodge Genryūsai's charged slash, then look for a way to counterattack, but now Yuhabach has no choice but to directly withstand that absolute-power slash from Genryūsai!"

"Boom!"

Translation: "Boom—"

Consequently, amid a deafening roar, Yuhabach was slashed away by Genryūsai's blade! At the same time, endless flames surged toward Hassward and Ishida Uryū beside Yuhabach, blasting both of them away!

Translation: "Thus, in a fierce roar, Yuhabach was sent flying by Genryūsai's single slash! At the same time, endless flames swept toward Yuhabach's side, Ugyan Hasuwode and Ishida Uryū, blasting the two straight away~"

"Boom!!"

Translation: "Boom!!"

Uryū and Hassward's bodies were engulfed in flames as they fell from the sky...

Translation: "Only seeing Ishida Uryū and Ugyan Hasuwode's bodies ablaze with flames, falling from the sky……"

"No acting at all, terrible review!"

Translation: "Zero acting skill, terrible review!"

In response, the ever‑frontline Aizen let out a helpless sigh.

Translation: "In response, Aizen, who had been suppressing the formation, sighed helplessly."

In the eyes of the Three Realms' top actor, Aizen Sōsuke, Uryū and Hassward still need to hone their acting, especially Ishida Uryū, who needs life experience; Uryū's limited experiences leave his performance somewhat soulless.

Translation: "In the eyes of Aizen Sosuke, the first-generation movie emperor of the 'Three Worlds', the acting of Ishida Uryū and Ugyan Hasuwode still needs polishing, especially Ishida Uryū, who also needs life experience; his experience is still too little, causing his acting to lack soul~"

Boom—

At the same time, the battle between Yuan Liu Zhai and You Ha Ba He grew increasingly fierce!

After just a single encounter, the captains of the First Generation Guard Court Thirteen Squad immediately arrived at both sides of You Ha Ba He and launched an attack!

Complete Release!

Unlike the modern Guard Court Thirteen Squad, which always likes to test and fight!

The First Generation Guard Court Thirteen Squad had no nonsense, directly performed Complete Release!

In an instant, twelve Complete Releases directly enveloped You Ha Ba He!

Break it for me!

You know, among these twelve Complete Releases, there are barrier-type and rule-type Complete Releases! Some of these Complete Releases even have a restraining effect on You Ha Ba He……

However, faced with these countless Complete Releases, You Ha Ba He directly chose to break them with force! Only see You Ha's body releasing boundless spiritual power; terrifying spiritual power formed one after another divine annihilation arrow, blasting the captains of the First Generation Guard Court Thirteen Squad flying outward~

Swish!

Even so, the swords of Mabuchi Retsu and Saido Immortal still slashed left and right into You Ha Ba He's kidneys.

Fight me in close combat!

Simply, utterly foolish!

If that's the case, all of you die for me!

You Ha Ba He's waist sprayed blood; he gripped the Divine Annihilation Arrow, directly piercing the arms of Mabuchi Retsu and Immortal that held their swords, then the Divine Annihilation Arrow instantly exploded; even with the defenses of Mabuchi Retsu and Saido Immortal, half of their bodies were destroyed!

It's over!

In response, You Ha revealed a smug smile.

This is the gap between him and those death gods of first-class spiritual power!

However, the scene that You Ha Ba He imagined—of Mabuchi Retsu and Immortal collapsing from pain and excessive blood loss—did not appear before his eyes; their arms and blasted bodies were merely a feint, instantly recovering as before, as if the injuries they had sustained never existed~

Hahaha, this is fun!

At this moment, the fighting spirit of Mabuchi Retsu and Saido Immortal also reached its peak!

They licked the blood from the corners of their mouths, once again gripped their Soul-Cutting Sword, and slashed at You Ha!

At this moment, Mabuchi Retsu and Immortal were like fearless berserkers!

Is this an immortal body? Ma De Huang Mu!

That bastard who only hides behind his woman!

You Ha Ba He's pupils contracted, and he immediately reacted; he would no longer engage in close combat with the fearless or essentially immortal Immortal and Mabuchi Retsu……

After all, once You Ha confirmed the condition of Saido Immortal and Mabuchi Retsu, continuing close combat with an injury-for-injury tactic would be meaningless!

Thus, You Ha Ba He immediately used the Shell's Still Blood Armor; after using the Shell's Still Blood Armor to obstruct Mabuchi Retsu and Immortal, he flew straight up into the sky.

God's Great Holy Bow!

All of you, die!!

You Ha Ba He, as the mortal enemy of Yuan Liu Zhai from a thousand years ago, knows Yuan Liu Zhai's strength better than anyone; he also understands the power of the First Generation Guard Court Thirteen Squad better than anyone, as well as how the immortal-like Mabuchi Retsu and Saido Immortal, whose bodies are nearly truly immortal due to their connection with Huang Mu Life, are so difficult to seal!

Thus, You Ha Ba He stood in the sky; seeing him wave his hand, a spiritual bow as large as the entire Double Punishment Hill appeared in the sky! Immediately, that spiritual bow slowly drew back, its string length reaching hundreds of hairs, each shot capable of piercing and completely destroying the divine annihilation arrows that could annihilate the entire Himalayan mountain range, which then landed on the bowstring, and like a rain of light, shot forth toward Yuan Liu Zhai and all members of the First Generation Thirteen Squad!

You Ha intends to use this strike to annihilate all members of the Thirteen Squad! In response, he spares no cost; even if there are countless Extermination Masters in the Pure Spirit Court, his four great guards, his heir and half-body! Right now You Ha is heated; as long as he can kill the First Generation Guard Court Thirteen Squad, for him any sacrifice is acceptable; he doesn't need hardness, he's fighting for a breath!

Boom!!

Accompanied by that rain of light, it whistled down as it frictioned the air!

Under the empowerment of You Ha Ba He's power, this Divine Annihilation Arrow was like a meteor shower!

Such a terrifying Divine Annihilation Arrow, fortunately released in the Pure Spirit Court, in the Soul Society; if it were released in the mortal world, the entire planet's surface would likely be unable to bear it! At that point, without You Ha Ba He needing to replace the Spirit King, the balance of the Three Worlds would be shattered in an instant~

Yuan Liu Zhai! And Guard Court Thirteen Squad! All of you go die!!

You Ha Ba He glared at Yuan Liu Zhai and roared.

So fast, so hot……

Even the air is being ionized……

Truly worthy of Your Majesty You Ha Ba He! We indeed fall short……

Hasuowode, struck down by Yuan Liu Zhai, gazed at You Ha Ba He in the sky, his expression filled with endless admiration and respect, yet he had no intention of going up to help~

But Yuan Liu Zhai's flames are stronger!

Hasuowode said, and then looked toward Yuan Liu Zhai, who faced You Ha Ba He's Great Holy Bow.

Boom!

Only see, Yuan Liu Zhai's Soul-Cutting Sword released boundless flames, carrying his continually rising spiritual pressure; his whole body resembled a demon god bathed in flames, as he swung his blade toward the sky, directly slashing down the falling heavens full of stars!

Heh!

In response, You Ha Ba He's face changed drastically.

You Ha Ba He! This is not the place for us to fight……

Come with me! Go to the Spirit King Palace you wish to reach!

Yamamoto Yuan Liu Zhai said, only to see him roar and transform into a mass of flames, directly crashing into You Ha Ba He.

Huh?

After hearing Yuan Liu Zhai's words, You Ha Ba He slightly furrowed his brows, but did not dodge, allowing Yuan Liu Zhai to blast him away.

Boom!

Accompanied by roaring booms!

You Ha Ba He and the flame-engulfed Yuan Liu Zhai disappeared together into a gate emitting golden light! That gate composed of divine light is precisely the super-boundary gate that can instantly transport one to the Spirit King Palace!

In an instant, Yamamoto Yuan Liu Zhai and You Ha Ba He disappeared together into the Pure Spirit Court! However, everyone present clearly understood that the moment You Ha and Yamamoto vanished marked the outbreak of this holy war~

If that's the case, I should also retreat!

Lán rǎn zǒng yòu jiè gazed at Yuán liǔ zhāi and Yǒu hā, who had torn open the sky, gave a slight smile to the crowd, and also nodded towards Jīng lè chūn shuǐ. Immediately after, Lán rǎn zǒng yòu jiè's figure vanished right before everyone's eyes.

No! It's not that Aizen Sosuke disappeared; rather, Aizen Sosuke never appeared at all! The one standing here has always been merely a member of the First Division who imitates Aizen's habits! Sometime unknown, including Yhwach, everyone has already fallen under Aizen Sosuke's Mirror Flower Water Moon hypnosis...

This is also why Lijie Baluo glanced at Aizen several times but dared not casually activate his Holy Scripture ability, after all Lijie Baluo lacked the confidence that he could be unaffected by Aizen's Mirror Flower Water Moon, and his Holy Scripture ability is too powerful; if mishandled, under the influence of Aizen's Mirror Flower Water Moon, he might mistakenly regard his comrades as enemies, and then he would risk shooting down all the other members of the Guard Corps in a single blow!

"Eh, please spare me!"

"In short, before the losses of the Pure Spirit Court under my command further expand, I can only ask you to quickly defeat Yhwach!"

After receiving Aizen Sosuke's hint, Jingle Chunshui sighed helplessly. With Yuanliuzhai, Araki, and Aizen Sosuke all now gone, the current Thirteen Court Guard Squads can only be temporarily taken over by him, this half-baked guy no matter what he does~

As for Jingle Chunshui, regarding the departure of Aizen Sosuke and the others, he only has one thing in mind: hoping that Aizen Sosuke, Araki, and Yuanliuzhai can quickly defeat Yhwach and restore peace to the Three Worlds, after all this half-baked guy of his cannot sustain long-term oversight~

At the same time, the Soul King Palace.

Boom!!

The flaming Yhwach and Yuanliuzhai fell directly onto the Soul King Palace Omotesando, landing right in front of the tea-drinking Araki.

"Would you like some tea? Yhwach..."

Araki, holding a tea cup, asked Yhwach.

"Araki, have you finally stopped hiding behind women?"

"So all of this down here is your doing, huh, Araki!"

Yhwach looked at Araki and asked coldly.

"What are you saying? I don't understand..."

Upon hearing that, Araki imitated Heiqi Yihu's tone and asked Yhwach.

"Don't pretend! You're not Heiqi Yihu..."

Yhwach, living up to his title of Omniscient, knew at the moment Araki opened his mouth who he was imitating, and thus he roared.

"I mean the advent of the First Generation Thirteen Court Guard Squads!"

"And letting Shanben Yuanliuzhai Chongguo recover to his peak, even surpass it—these deeds! Are they all yours, Araki..."

Yhwach looked at Araki and asked coldly.

"Heh, exactly so!"

After hearing Yhwach's words, Araki's expression flashed with a hint of surprise.

It seemed Araki didn't expect Yhwach to suddenly become this smart.

Accordingly, Araki lightly nodded and spoke coldly.

"As I thought, it's you!"

"In that case, is all the information gathered by Hasiewode completely wrong?"

"The First Generation Thirteen Court Guard Squads did not die in battle in the Hollow Realm nine hundred years ago; instead, you transported them to the Soul King Palace!"

"Because the Soul King Palace is protected by the Soul King's power, you know that even my eyes cannot see anything!"

"In a certain sense, for today's battle! You let all members of the First Generation Thirteen Court Guard Squads indeed be as good as dead, lingering alive within the Soul King Palace!"

Yhwach looked at Araki and said coldly.

"Exactly so!"

Araki directly admitted it.

"Araki! You've plotted for nine hundred years—what exactly is it for?"

Yhwach looked at Araki and questioned.

"Obviously it's to disgust you, Yhwach!"

Accordingly, Araki looked at Yhwach and sneered.

"What did you say?!"

Yhwach, upon hearing that, his face slightly changed.

"What do you think I hid the First Generation Thirteen Court Guard Squads for a thousand years for?! Obviously to make you feel uncomfortable!"

After drinking the tea in his cup dry, Araki looked at Yhwach and sneered.

"Yhwach, looking at the person who once defeated you, they didn't die as you wished over these thousand years; instead, they've lived better and better—doesn't your heart feel unhappy?!"

Araki looked at Yhwach and sneered.

"You bastard! To scheme against me, you actually plotted for a thousand years!"

"I despise you, Araki! I really despise you..."

Yhwach, as if his defenses were broken, roared at Araki.

At this moment, Yhwach really wanted to find someone to vent to: 'Who among family understands?! This guy in front of me seems mentally ill!'

"Who would, as a normal person, for no reason just to disgust someone else, devise a trap and plan it for a full thousand years? What else could this be if not a mental illness?"

Yhwach's eye corners twitched slightly, his anger continually rising.

"And one more thing! Yhwach, you seem to have mistaken something..."

Araki looked at Yhwach, as if looking at a pitiful person.

"What did I get wrong?!"

Yhwach looked at Araki and asked doubtfully.

"Don't you feel that someone is missing from the First Generation Thirteen Court Guard Squads?"

Araki looked at Yhwach and continued.

"Who is missing?"

Yhwach, upon hearing that, his pupils twitched slightly.

At this moment, Yhwach's brain cells seemed about to burn out, his brain working frantically!

Finally, a flash of realization crossed Yhwach's eyes.

"Quebu Zhangci Lang?!"

Yuuha softly chanted that name.

Correct!

Upon hearing that, Araki gave Yuuha a light smile.

As a reward for your correct answer! Please welcome, Quebu Changjiro!

Araki continued smiling at Yuuha.

Where is he?!

After hearing Araki's words, Yuuha's expression visibly froze for a moment.

Zzz...

Unfortunately, before Yuuha could think further, a muffled thunder sounded!

A bolt of lightning immediately crackled behind Yuuha.

Ridiculous! Do you think I'd be hit by the same skill twice?

Yuuha's lips twitched slightly; he turned his body and easily grasped the newcomer's hand.

The person who appeared behind Yuuha was none other than Quebu Changjiro.

This time, Quebu Changjiro's sneak attack did not succeed as it had a thousand years ago!

After all, Yuuha Bach already had his guard up! After his subordinates failed to assassinate the Sparrow Section, he had been lying in wait for this strike from Quebu……

However, just as Yuuha smiled, Quebu Changjiro suddenly tilted his head, speaking in a tone unlike Yuuha's memory of the Sparrow Section, and chuckled softly: 'Ara~ Yuuha Bach, you mistook me for Quebu Changjiro?! How surprising—I didn't expect your nearsightedness to be this severe~'

It was exactly at the moment that voice rang out……

At that moment, the Sparrow Section appearing before Yuuha's eyes instantly took on the form of Aizen Sosuke.

Aizen?!

If you're Aizen, then where is the real Sparrow Section?

Yuuha gazed at Aizen before him, his pupils trembling slightly.

Since that Sparrow Section old bastard just now was Aizen that little deceitful trickster disguising himself with Mirror Flower Water Moon, where exactly is the true Sparrow Section now?!

Pfft~

In response to Yuuha, naturally came the faint tremor of a Zanpakutō piercing his body.

……

Seeing this, Yuuha slightly lowered his head; a sharp Zanpakutō thus pierced his chest, and for a moment Yuuha Bach's thoughts returned to a thousand years ago.

Yuuha recalled that a thousand years ago there had been a very similar scene—that was the moment he battled the old geezer, the commander of the Seireitei back then, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto~

Sparrow Section!!

At this moment, Yuuha Bach let out a hysterical roar.

Hehe, I'm right here~ Yuuha Bach!

Before Yuuha could think further, Quebu Changjiro's figure suddenly appeared behind Yuuha Bach, flashing a smug grin.

Quebu Changjiro, you bastard, you little punk!

I fuck your ****! You big idiot!

You're fucking sick, aren't you!

At this moment, Yuuha seemed to lose control; as soon as he spoke, he unleashed the national essence taught by Cangdu, continuously roaring at Quebu Changjiro.

Yes, the original Thirteen Court Guard Squads were merely a bait Araki used to distract Yuuha's attention; the true instrument for killing and piercing the heart was still Quebu Changjiro~

Boom!

Before Yuuha could think further……

The Sparrow Section and Aizen, one ahead and one behind, instantly withdrew!

As the two departed, Yuuha suddenly spat a mouthful of bright red.

Seeing Yuuha clutch his chest, his pupils violently trembled.

The blade Quebu Changjiro used was not his own Huang Huang Yan Ling Li Palace.

That old sneaky Quebu knew his own Bankai couldn't harm Yuuha, so beforehand he released his Zanpakutō's Bankai, then tossed the blade to Aizen to make Aizen's Mirror Flower Water Moon convincing enough! Meanwhile, to draw Yuuha's attention, he used the sheath forged by Wang Yue, letting Shitan help him hide early in Araki's shadow, waiting for an opening……

Sure enough, it finally succeeded! Since Quebu Changjiro's plan has already succeeded, the next one to make a move won't be him……

Seeing, accompanied by a burst of scorching flames! Genryūsai, wielding a splendid sword, just like a thousand years ago, descended from the heavens like a deity!

He swung down at the wounded Yuuha Bach!

Even after a thousand years, Genryūsai still lacks any martial virtue!

Genryūsai!!

Faced with that, Yuuha Bach gazed at the figure in the sky, seeming once again to see the scene of his defeat a thousand years ago; thus, Yuuha Bach roared at the heavens!

Boom!!

The next second, Yuuha Bach was instantly engulfed by endless flames!

As for Araki, who had been sipping tea on Omotesando, he had already retreated several steps.

Standing beside Araki was naturally the 'Eye Monk,' that old slacker.

Rumble!

Not long after, as the flames dissipated, the somewhat disheveled Yuuha Bach appeared thus upon the 'Soul King Palace Omotesando'.

Although Genryūsai's flames just now were no weaker than a thousand years ago, Yuuha Bach himself is different from then; that power could not make him retreat.

Lord Genryūsai, Lord Araki, and Lord Bingzhu Bu, my mission is complete! From now on I leave this place to you all; Aizen, I'll take back my sword!

On the other side, Quebu bowed to Genryūsai, Araki, and Bingzhu Bu in turn, then tossed the sheath of his Zanpakutō to the swordless Aizen Sosuke.

Thanks~

Aizen took Quebu's sword, and immediately smiled faintly.

At the same time, Aizen looked at the sheath in his hand, his eyes narrowing slightly.

To be honest, for all these years he has been hoping to own a Zanpakutō like Kenpachi Zaraki's wild, direct‑attack type—something he's wanted for ages! He never imagined that this wish of his would come true after he fully fused with Kyōka Suigetsu, making a Zanpakutō unnecessary...

So what's next!

Yhwach! Are you prepared?!

For a moment, Aragaki, Aizen, Hyōsube, and Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni—these four who once commanded, or indirectly commanded, the Seireitei, spanning millions of years of Soul Society history as the four captain‑commanders—stood at the four cardinal directions, sneering at Yhwach.

Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni, Hyōsube Ichibē, Aizen Sōsuke, and Aragaki! You four have come at a good time! Truly excellent! Let me here eradicate you four, my greatest enemies in life, once and for all!

Yhwach said this, then lightly flicked his cape, his eyes flashing with endless battle spirit.

Heh! He actually wants to take down all four of us at once?!

In response, Aragaki and the others gave a helpless smile.

Yhwach was still a bit too arrogant...

Besides, who said that this battle against Yhwach only involves those four?!

At the same time.

Quebu Zhang Erlang was already seated on the Heavenly Pillar Palanquin, and immediately shot down toward the ground!

The upcoming battle in the Soul King Palace is no longer something he can intervene in~

Quebu Zhang Erlang's mission is merely to break Yhwach's mindset, that's all~

At the same time, along with Quebu Zhang Erlang descending to the lower realm were Xiuduoluo Qian Shou Wan, Ermeiwu Wang Yue, Qilinsi Tian Shi Lang, and Ye Zhou Tong Sheng, these four members of the Zero Division~

Everyone, is it really okay for us to go down to the lower realm together?!

In response, Quebu looked at the four people beside him and asked.

No problem~

Our situation in the Zero Division is rather special~

To maintain the stability of the Three Worlds! ~

Except for Hyōsube and Aragaki, the Zanpakutō of us Zero Division members are all sealed! When the Zero Division gathers, others cannot achieve Bankai!

In order to defeat Yhwach, we now have given the permission to use Bankai to the most battle‑suitable Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni! In other words, we now are no different from ordinary members of the Gotei 13, and likewise cannot intervene in the battle above~

After hearing Quebu's words, Wang Yue laughed and said.

In fact, Wang Yue still had something unsaid; under normal circumstances, if someone in the Zero Division wanted to use Bankai, they would need other members of the Zero Division to temporarily commit suicide……

But with Aragaki's arrival, the Three Worlds became increasingly stable! No longer did they need to commit suicide; they only needed these other Zero Division members to store their Zanpakutō in their respective detached halls, and temporarily leave the Soul King Palace, which serves as the seal for their power~

Therefore, with their Zanpakutō now completely sealed, they can no longer continue fighting a monster like Yhwach of that caliber! It would be better to go to the Seireitei and help the Gotei 13 fight Yhwach's Quincy—after all, even though they lack Zanpakutō, each individual's combat power still surpasses that of a regular captain~

Really?!

Only after hearing Wang Yue's words did Quebu slightly relax his breath.

Then all we can do is hope that Aragaki's plan proceeds smoothly~

Wang Yue spoke calmly. It seemed that the battle above the Soul King Palace had nothing to do with him anymore, after all, everything he could do had already been taken care of~

Meanwhile, in the Seireitei.

After the first generation of the Gotei 13 successfully drove Yhwach away,

everyone then joined the battle against Yhwach's elite guard……

Yhwach's four elite guards are themselves the heart of the Soul King, thus directly possessing divine authority—Jägerd·Valkyrie. Favored by Yhwach, they were directly granted divine power, possessing divine sanction—Licht·Barro. Constantly seeking evolution, as the Soul King's left hand—Pernida·Parnakjas. And possessing divine toxin perception—Askin·Nakkuvaar~

Yhwach's four elite guards are none other than Yhwach's apocalyptic Four Horsemen!

They are the ones who, for God, judge the world—over these final nine days, they convey doom to the old world and proclaim rebirth to the new!

Belligerent, possessing divine authority, Jägerd·Valkyrie is the symbol of war!

Mastering poison, manipulating the immune system, Askin·Nakkuvaar is the symbol of pestilence!

Constantly seeking evolution, Pernida·Parnakjas ultimately died from over‑evolution after consuming what it shouldn't have—it is the symbol of famine!

As for the one called the closest to God, who stands in for Yhwach to judge the world and can pierce all things—Licht·Barro is the symbol of death~

Without a doubt, Yhwach's four elite guards are as powerful as gods!

Unfortunately, in this already dead world, even Yhwach's four elite guards are destined to lose……

Only seeing Retsu Unohana, after losing Yhwach as her target, she immediately sought out Askin·Nakkuvaar.

Hahaha! Retsu Unohana, you finally came!

Askin·Nakkuvaar, having fully released his Holy Body, looked at the arriving Retsu Unohana and burst out laughing. It seemed he was eagerly anticipating his fight with Retsu Unohana……

Retsu Unohana, do you know? This time I definitely won't lose!

Askin·Nakkuvaar gazed into Retsu Unohana's pupils, where a rare glint of fighting spirit shone.

Askin·Nakkuvaar is an extremely contradictory person……

Askin·Nakkuvaar always humbly tells others that he does not possess the fearsome, overwhelming power of Yhwach's other elite guards, yet he does not want to be looked down upon; if ignored, he becomes extremely angry and furious……

Askin·Nakkuvaar also always says he never likes fighting, yet when he encounters someone who counters him, he invariably acts as if fleeing in defeat……

Yet he paradoxically enjoys fighting those who counter him, because he likes defeating them one by one to demonstrate his strength~

In short, he just deserves a beating!

Supreme Toxic Sphere!

Askin·Nakkuvaar looked at Retsu Unohana without hesitation and directly unleashed the technique he could only use after entering his Holy Body!

Only seeing, with Askin·Nakkuvaar as the center, his surroundings turned into endless poison pools, a massive spherical barrier that enveloped a town with a radius of one spiritual mile!

I give you all ten seconds to leave my domain~

Ten, nine, eight, seven……

After doing all this, Askin·Nakkuvaar simply sat on the roof, coldly announcing to the people inside the domain, then began counting to himself.

You idiot Askin·Nakkuvaar! Are you trying to kill me?

"Geng Mu Jianba, hurry and leave with me; Askin has gone mad…"

Gerard Valkyrie watched Askin, who had opened his domain, furrow his brows tightly, and called out to Geng Mu Jianba.

"Hmm! Let's move to a place where no one can disturb us and continue the fight!"

Geng Mu Jianba, hearing this, vanished together with Gerard into Askin's domain.

Along with Gerard, Penida, who was familiar with Askin's abilities, and Lijie Baro, whose injuries had already healed, also disappeared.

As for the Shinigami tasked with dealing with Penida and Lijie Baro, they too followed the two at the moment they vanished, leaving Askin's domain.

"Six, five, four…"

At the same time, Askin continued to count the numbers calmly.

"Captain Mao Zhi Hua! This place is dangerous…"

Simultaneously, the squad leaders assigned to handle Askin turned their gaze toward Mao Zhi Hua.

"Leaving this to me is enough~"

To that, Mao Zhi Hua responded coldly.

"…" The others fell silent for a moment upon hearing that, then all nodded and said, "As you command!"

"… three, two, one~"

After everyone left, Askin completed his countdown.

For a moment, it seemed only Mao Zhi Hua Lie and Askin remained on the battlefield.

"All right! The idle folk have already left~"

"This time, I will definitely defeat you~"

Askin looked at the last remaining Mao Zhi Hua Lie, a cold glint flashing in his pupils.

However, at the moment Askin treated Mao Zhi Hua Lie as prey, Mao Zhi Hua Lie was also treating Askin as his own prey…

It's hard to say who is the hunter and who is the prey~

"Hehe, defeat me? Then give it a try~"

Mao Zhi Hua Lie said, raising the Zanpakuto in his hand.

"Bankai! All-Ending…"

While speaking, Mao Zhi Hua Lie completed his Zanpakuto's Bankai once more.

After all, Mao Zhi Hua Lie's Bankai, like Askin's, has an excessively large range!

It easily harms allies, so after Youha left, Mao Zhi Hua deactivated the Bankai~

"Wha‑la‑la…"

As Mao Zhi Hua Lie Bankai'd again, countless blood‑red springs erupted again from the ground beneath Mao Zhi Hua Lie and Askin! The springs were as thick as fresh blood~

"This time, I won't give you a chance to exchange blood!"

Askin stared intently at the Bankai‑activated Mao Zhi Hua Lie, immediately unleashing his own ability! In an instant, the entire domain enveloped by Askin's power filled with toxins, spreading through the air, the ground, and even the surrounding buildings; any creature within this domain, whether breathing or not, whether touching surrounding objects, would instantly be coated with lethal poison~

"Boom!"

Just as Askin said, the moment Askin launched his attack, Mao Zhi Hua Lie's body experienced a massive impact.

"Mao Zhi Hua Lie, the blood volume in your body is roughly four liters!"

"Given the recovery speed of your All-Ending after Bankai, to restore your whole body via blood exchange would take about 0.4 seconds~"

"But do you know how long it takes for me to poison you? It's one‑quarter of the time your body needs to fully recover!"

"Exactly, within this domain, the time it takes me to poison you is only 0.1 seconds! Sorry, but this round, I win~"

Askin spoke to Mao Zhi Hua Lie with a smug expression.

Since Mao Zhi Hua Lie can continuously immunize his toxins through blood exchange~

Then he lets Mao Zhi Hua Lie's poisoning speed exceed his blood‑exchange speed, and that would work, right?!

"…"

Mao Zhi Hua Lie, after hearing Askin's words, stood motionless in place.

His eyes had lost their luster.

"Hm? Did you die before I finished speaking?"

"How boring!"

"Mao Zhi Hua Lie, it's not that you're weak, it's that I'm too powerful!"

To this, Askin, looking at the unconscious Mao Zhi Hua Lie, suddenly found it somewhat uninteresting.

"Pssht~"

Just as Askin was about to support others, a cold‑glinting Zanpakuto instantly pierced his heart from behind.

"What?!"

Askin looked at the knife that had pierced his heart, his eyes trembling slightly.

"Hey, Askin, did you know?!"

"All-Ending she was never meant for saving people! It's meant for killing~"

"Do you know how long it takes for the All-Ending's power to melt my entire body?"

"The answer is 0.001 seconds~"

While Askin was puzzled, Mao Zhi Hua Lie's voice suddenly sounded slowly behind Askin.

"What?!"

Askin's pupils flickered slightly.

Beside him, a woman whose half‑body was made of fresh blood gave him a grim smile.

As for Mao Zhi Hua Lie's original body, under Askin's shocked gaze, it turned into a pool of pus‑filled blood on the ground!

"Damn!"

Yasi Jin's pupils flickered; he instantly turned his body, grasped the Sacred Annihilation Arrow, and shot it at the woman behind him.

"Swish!"

The Sacred Annihilation Arrow in Yasi Jin's hand immediately pierced the woman's skull.

Then, the woman in front of Yasi Jin showed a breathtaking smile, fell into a sea of blood, and vanished without a trace!

"Swish!"

Before Yasi Jin could think further, two dark swords burst out from the blood pool behind him and pierced his kidneys on both sides.

"Damn!"

Yasi Jin cursed, turned around, and saw nothing behind him except a sea of blood.

"No… no…"

"When did this Blood Sea start spreading to my feet?"

Yasi Jin stared at the Blood Sea beneath his feet, his pupils narrowing slightly.

At the moment he was dueling Mao Zhi Hua Lie, the all‑encompassing Blood Sea had unknowingly already covered his entire domain and was still expanding…

If someone flew up into the sky now, they would see Yasi Jin's deep‑green domain surrounded by an endless red Blood Sea, like a lone boat on the ocean~

"Yasi Jin, do you know?"

"Ku Wuxi and the others say this place will become very dangerous~"

"It's not because they fear your Poison Domain, but because I'm about to go all‑out! When I unleash my full power, everything around will be barren of grass~"

As Yasi Jin was bewildered…

Mao Zhi Hua Lie's voice echoed from all directions around him.

"Damn! Where are you?!"

Cold sweat broke out on Yasi Jin's forehead as he shouted in confusion.

"You say I'm where?"

"Am I not right before your eyes?"

"Why haven't you noticed me?"

Mao Zhi Hua Lie's voice continued to reverberate in Yasi Jin's ears.

Listening to Mao Zhi Hua Lie's seemingly 5‑D spatial echo, Yasi Jin's expression was on the brink of collapse! He could not find her at all—neither her spiritual pressure nor her voice, everything was chaotic…

"I am the entire Blood Sea!"

"I am the Blood Sea itself!"

"I myself am All‑Ends!"

As Yasi Jin grew increasingly confused, sweat beading his forehead and his spirit nearly collapsing, Mao Zhi Hua Lie's voice kept resonating within his domain!

At that very moment, the Blood Sea, already transformed by All‑Ends and surpassing Yasi Jin's domain in every direction, suddenly surged upward like a fountain, instantly covering the entire Poison Territory where Yasi Jin stood from the sky…

For a moment, Yasi Jin's Poison World was suddenly drenched by blood‑red rain!

"You are the Blood Sea itself?!"

Yasi Jin was stunned.

"Exactly!"

While Yasi Jin was still reeling, amid the fine drizzle, a Soul‑Cutting Blade made of blood water appeared again before him and pierced his chest.

Yasi Jin tried to run, but his feet were no longer in the Blood Sea; it was as if someone had stepped on them, preventing him from moving a single step~

"Pss! Pss! Pss!"

At Yasi Jin's helpless moment, one Soul‑Cutting Blade after another came from all sides, continuously stabbing his chest…

"Damn!"

Yasi Jin cursed, feeling his Poison Domain weakening, just like his life fading away~

What tormented Yasi Jin most was that each Soul‑Cutting Blade thrust at him bore a different spiritual pressure, leaving him with no way to develop immunity~

As for Mao Zhi Hua Lie, she now hovered like crimson drizzle in the sky, looking down from above at Yasi Jin, who was being relentlessly tormented by her Soul‑Cutting Blade…

Mao Zhi Hua Lie was undoubtedly dead at this moment; she wasn't killed by Yasi Jin, she used All‑Ends to commit suicide! Yet, being linked to Huangmu's life, she would not die! Thus, as if the world had a bug, her will remained eternal…

As long as Huangmu lives, her will persists forever, able to manifest her own body at any time. Moreover, because of her connection with Huangmu, she developed this ultimate form atop her Bankai All‑Ends! All‑Ends, she is All‑Ends!

On the other side~

Huangmu Baqianliu sought Penida Paka Ja~

Huangmu Budiao Hua sought Gerard Valkyrie~

According to Huangmu's orders…

Next, Baqianliu and Budiao Hua's mission is to devour Penida and Gerard, completing the final evolution stage of their Soul‑Cutting Blades~

"Youhabah! The Spirit King's left arm and heart!"

"We sisters eagerly accept it!"

From high above, watching Baqianliu and Budiao Hua eyeing Penida and Valkyrie, gazing at the embodiment of the Spirit King's left arm and heart, they gently licked the corners of their lips~

"The taste of the Spirit King's power is truly delicious~"

Unfortunately, the remains of the Spirit King inside the palace have already been devoured by them, leaving only a husk; if they continue to devour, the Three Realms will soon collapse~

In other words, the Three Realms now need Youhabah! They need a brand‑new, more vigorous Wedge with enough power to replace the Spirit King's waning and dispersing strength, supporting the entire Three Realms~

Indeed, Youhabah is not wrong; in the new world, Youhabah does have a place! Moreover, it's a central position, but Youhabah is not a ruling 'god'—instead, Youhabah exists as an idol worshipped by the masses~

Hmm, just an 'idol', the immobile kind~

Therefore, Huangmu's family says they are grateful that, when the Spirit King's power wanes and the Three Realms verge on collapse, Lord Youhabah selflessly delivers the goods themselves, to be forged by Huangmu into a new Spirit King~

Now let us loudly celebrate in advance the soon‑to‑be born new king!
