Chapter 224: Araki's Daughters: Yes! Really, someone, from

What exactly did you do to the Soul King?!

Youhabahè gazed at Yuan Liuzhai's slightly weathered cheek, nearly roaring.

So that's it, no matter what, you are also part of His Majesty the Soul King, aren't you? So you can sense it, right?

After hearing Youhab's words, Yuan Liuzhai's face showed a hint of mockery.

If you really want to know what happened to His Majesty the Soul King, why not defeat us and go see the Soul King's Inner Palace yourself? All the answers you seek are there.

Yuan Liuzhai laughed at Youhabahè.

You bastard...

Upon hearing that, Youhabahè furrowed his brows tightly.

Ten Directions Flame God North·Vanaheim·Njörðr!

Ten Directions Flame God Northeast·Fire Night Arts Speed·Kagutsuchi!

No matter what you say, you cannot avoid the fact that you have been defeated!

Heh, you wouldn't be talking about me, would you?

If it weren't for you annihilating all these gods' illusions!

As Youhabahè's words fell, the heavenly holy destruction arrows instantly destroyed everything around him, likewise including these gods' illusions!

False god, how could you possibly defeat a true god?!

Do you even deserve the title of true god?!

Utterly foolish!

Ten Directions Flame God Northwest·Gabriel!

Youhabahè seemed unfazed by Yuan Liuzhai's mockery, his expression calm as he spoke coldly to Yuan Liuzhai.

As Yuan Liuzhai further summoned the flame god illusions, the entire Soul King's Omotesando began to burn, countless flame gods continually launching attacks at Youhabahè.

Youhabahè seemed intent on putting distance between himself and Yuan Liuzhai.

Facing the countless gods' illusions, Youhabahè's eyes flashed with a hint of anger.

Holy Domain Praise!

Immediately after, Yuan Liuzhai summoned the fire god stationed at the true west.

I am the burning myriad phenomena, I am the Flowing Blade Like Fire!

Ten Directions Flame God Southwest·Vulcan!

How could one possibly defeat a true god?!

Ten Directions Flame God Southeast·Bhuridatta!

Boring! They're merely the gods' illusions!

Upon hearing Youhabahè's words, Yuan Liuzhai seemed to hear something amusing and couldn't help laughing.

Before Youhabahè could think further, Yuan Liuzhai's Soul-Cutting Sword continued to swing!

As Yuan Liuzhai spoke, the Flowing Blade Like Fire in his hand seemed to have vanished!

You also ought to think properly...

Since they are the ten-direction fire gods, how could there only be the four cardinal directions—east, south, west, north—and the four intercardinals—southeast, northeast, southwest, northwest?!

Seeing this, Youhabahè immediately retreated backward.

It's over! Yuan Liuzhai...

I too cannot draw power from these condensed god silhouettes...

Ten Directions Flame God West·Olympus·Hephaestus!

Since I have become a god, I naturally no longer need a Soul-Cutting Sword!

As Yuan Liuzhai spoke, his temperature kept rising, instantly reaching a terrifying fifteen million degrees! Yuan Liuzhai now is no different from a star.

Youhabahè stared at Yuan Liuzhai, speaking in an icy voice.

The ten directions still include heaven and earth! The heavenly fire god is naturally the sun above our heads, and the final directional fire god is none other than myself...

In response, Yuan Liuzhai replied with a calm expression.

The instant Yuan Liuzhai's words fell, his figure shot forward like a cannonball toward Youhabahè; as he strode ahead, the earth around him was directly burned through.

Yuan Liuzhai, where is your Soul-Cutting Sword?!

In the next second, a massive surge of spiritual power erupted from within Youhabahè, and a huge wall of light immediately appeared around him and the gods' illusions!

Just then, as Yuan Liuzhai's words fell, the entire Soul King Palace seemed to have become midsummer, turning scorching hot...

Today I shall incarnate as a god and slay you, this overconfident, self-assured false god! Foolish King of the Quincy, Youhabahè, meet your death!

True god?!

This time, Yuan Liuzhai once again summoned the gods' illusions!

Youhabahè, I must thank you!

Unfortunately, Yuan Liuzhai will not give Youhabahè any chance to dodge...

Seeing Yuan Liuzhai rush up to Youhabahè and, while speaking, tightly embrace him! In an instant, the scorching temperature of fifteen million degrees made Youhabahè suffer immensely!

Yuan Liuzhai, what are you doing?!

However, Youhabahè now has no time to worry about this close-range fifteen-hundred-degree heat; what troubles him is that this old brat Yuan Liuzhai seems to be plotting something nasty~

Youhabahè! Failing to kill you completely a thousand years ago is the greatest mistake of my life; today I will correct that mistake...

Residual Fire Great Sword·Flame Blazing·Ten Directions Flame Gods·Final Act! Ten Directions Flame Gods unite, myriad karmic flames bless my person! Sun falls and collapses! This move is called 'Collapsing Sun'...

Yuan Liuzhai grinned wickedly, at this moment even his beard carried scorching karmic fire.

You bastard! Are you planning to self-destruct?!

What a joke—how could I possibly die here with you?!

Yuhabach heard Yuan Liuzhai's words, his face drastically changed, and he shouted angrily.

Hehe! Yuhabach, you're wrong again! The only one who will die here is you! I will not die; I will come back to life...

Upon hearing Yuhabach's words, Yuan Liuzhai snorted in laughter; he is now a member of the 【Zero Division】 and also one of Aramaki's Dharma Protectors—as long as Aramaki lives, and the detached hall of the 【Soul King Palace】 remains intact, his flames will never be extinguished!

Goodbye, Yuhabach!

As Yuan Liuzhai's words faded...

A scorching white light shone directly over the entire 【Soul King Palace】!

This is Yuan Liuzhai compressing his spiritual pressure to the limit, like a supernova born from a collapsing sun—an intermediate ultimate technique that destroys all things in heaven and earth!

In that brief moment, Yuan Liuzhai's temperature reached an incalculable level!

At this moment, Yuan Liuzhai is no longer flame; he is the sun itself!

Boom!

The greatest sound is silent!

Clearly sound waves are echoing...

But Aramaki and the others still cannot hear it clearly!

They could only watch Yuhabach's body, melted slowly by the great sun Yuan Liuzhai had become, eventually turning into a pile of black spirit particles...

After a while, as Yuan Liuzhai's body completely vanished...

Yuhabach had long ceased to exist within the 【Soul King Palace】~

Hehe!

Since it's black, it's now under my control!

The monk gazed at the black spirit particles that Yuhabach had become, and the corners of his mouth rose.

The monk held a brush, and as he spoke, he was about to utterly destroy the remaining spirit particles of Yuhabach!

However, just as the monk was about to act, within those spirit particles resembling black charcoal, a pair of eyes suddenly opened! Those eyes seemed able to see through all things in the world, to see past and future, and within each eye were reflected three pupils!

These are the eyes second only to His Majesty the Soul King in heaven and earth~

"I am Yuhabach! I am omniscient and omnipotent!"

Clearly, Yuhabach has now lost his mouth, even his body!

Clearly he has only this pair of eyes left, yet his voice continues to reverberate, to echo, constantly wandering around everyone's ears...

The next second~

The Yuhabach who should have been dead suddenly rose from the ground, step by step approaching Aramaki, then Aizen, then the monk...

Boom!!

For a moment, the terrifying, boundless pressure emanating from within Yuhabach's body surged toward Aramaki, the monk, and Aizen!

Yuhabach, have you opened your eyes yet?!

In response, the Eye Monk, Commander of the Soldier Division, Ibei, gazed at Yuhabach before him and asked.

"Seeing my eyes, do you still intend to resist?!"

"Don't you understand yet? I am the son of the Soul King, a person favored by heaven!"

Yuhabach's eyes, bearing three pupils, kept turning as he spoke; though he appeared to look straight ahead, he seemed simultaneously to gaze at Aramaki, Aizen, and the monk.

"..."

Aramaki, upon hearing Yuhabach's words, seemed somewhat silent.

"Yuhabach, do you really intend to go see His Majesty the Soul King?!"

Aramaki looked at Yuhabach and asked.

"Naturally!"

Upon hearing Aramaki's words, Yuhabach's expression hesitated slightly.

Then Yuhabach still lightly nodded.

"Then follow me!"

In response, Aramaki helplessly shook his head and strode toward the 【Soul King's Inner Palace】, as if at this moment he truly intended to guide Yuhabach.

"..."

Yuhabach watched Aramaki's back, not knowing why, feeling a faint unease arise within him, yet he still followed Aramaki.

"..."

As for the monk and Aizen, they merely exchanged a glance and said nothing more.

Thus, the monk, Aizen, and Yuhabach, under Aramaki's guidance, arrived at the 【Soul King's Inner Palace】 where His Majesty the Soul King is enshrined~

"Huh?!"

Yuhabach stood outside the 【Soul King's Inner Palace】, his brows slightly furrowed.

Although Yuhabach's eyes cannot see the Soul King's future, it is absolutely impossible that he should not even sense the Soul King's spiritual pressure...

This completely defies reason~

At present, the 【Soul King's Inner Palace】 gives Yuhabach the feeling that the Soul King never resided here, as if this hall were merely an empty shell...

"An empty shell?!"

The moment Yuhabach thought of those two words, his face changed instantly.

Yuhabach rushed into the 【Soul King's Inner Palace】 like a flash, then gazed upon the empty crystal within, at this cold, desolate palace, and he nearly went mad~

"Where is the Soul King? Answer me, Aramaki—where did you send our Soul King, my great father?!"

Yuhabach seemed to have gone mad, glaring at Aramaki and roaring.

"The Soul King? Isn't he right before us?!"

Upon hearing Yuhabach's words, Aramaki's expression showed a hint of doubt.

"Don't joke around, Araki! You know I'm not in the mood for this..."

Upon hearing Araki's words, Yhwach's brows instantly furrowed in anger.

"Yhwach, take a good look—see just who stands before me?!"

Araki felt no resentment at Yhwach's outburst; he merely raised a finger and gently pointed at his own eyes.

"Huh?!"

Yhwach followed Araki's gaze and, looking into those glass‑like eyes, saw his own reflection.

""

For a moment, Yhwach fell silent.

"Exactly! And my friend Yhwach, you are the true 'Soul King'!"

Araki knew Yhwach had now grasped the truth; seeing him smile, he chuckled and said.

"Nonsense, what are you even saying?!"

Upon hearing Araki's words, Yhwach's expression shifted slightly, a cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and a hint of panic appeared.

"Do you know, Yhwach? As early as a thousand years ago, when you were defeated by Teacher Genryūsai, I already knew you had deliberately lost, then hid in the shadows of the 'Pure Soul Court' to painstakingly gather power."

"But do you know why I left you alone during those thousand years of your power‑building, allowing you to gather strength, reorganize the 'Star Cross Knights', ally with the Quincy, and launch a second invasion of the 'Soul Society'?"

"The answer is simple: the Soul King's power, after maintaining the Three Worlds for a million years, has begun to wane! For a new world we need a new Soul King—and that new Soul King is you, Yhwach!"

Araki gazed at Yhwach and spoke softly.

Each of Araki's words struck like jewels, continually piercing Yhwach's heart.

"What nonsense are you spouting?!"

Upon hearing Araki's words, Yhwach's expression twitched slightly; he glared at Araki and spoke in a low voice.

"Nonsense? I didn't mean to speak nonsense……"

"Yhwach, you should know that everything I say is correct~"

Upon hearing that, Araki merely gave a faint smile.

"Yhwach, have you never wondered why your powers are identical to the Soul King's, yet you cannot see his future? The answer is simple: the Soul King does not want you to see his future……"

"But have you considered, Yhwach, that the Soul King, who shares your omniscience and omnipotence, could see your future? Could He have, a million years ago when He was sealed, already perceived your destiny and chosen the optimal path for you?"

Araki looked at Yhwach and chuckled softly.

"Impossible! Impossible! Absolutely impossible……"

After hearing Araki's words, a hint of madness flickered in Yhwach's expression; he kept shaking his head, showing he refused to believe what Araki said.

Yet in fact, Yhwach's panicked state is the very proof of Araki's words—lies harm none, but truth cuts swift.

If everything Araki said is true, then from the moment of his birth, every event Yhwach has encountered, every person he has met, every thought that has arisen, has been meticulously crafted for him by his benevolent father, the great Soul King, who, using His omniscience and omnipotence during the million years of His sealing, tailored it all in advance……

In just an instant, Yhwach's resolve began to crumble; now he pondered whether the personality he possessed was truly his own, or merely a fabrication forged by the Soul King using His omniscience and omnipotence.

Precisely because Yhwach possesses omniscience and omnipotence can he grasp how terrifying that power is!

"Yhwach! You may already call yourself unbeatable within the Three Worlds, but one who is stronger than you, wielding a more complete omniscience and omnipotence—the Soul King—would surely be invincible under heaven!"

"Think about it: if the Soul King did not will it, who in this world could seal Him? Do you truly accept the tale passed down by the founders of the Five Great Noble Houses—that they plotted for centuries, finally ambushed the Soul King from behind, and succeeded—as the whole truth?"

"Yhwach, use that pitiful, laughable brain of yours! Consider: a man who can see the future and change it at will—how could a mere bunch of mortals pull off a successful sneak attack? Isn't that story utterly ridiculous and devoid of logic?"

Araki's words kept echoing in Yhwach's ears.

Seeing Araki continually hurl the spears of his words, thrusting them at Yhwach……

Fortunately, Yhwach is not Ichigo Kurosaki; his ears work fine and his mind is sharp—he won't shout at Araki like Ichigo did, 'What are you saying? I can't understand a word!'

Indeed, fortunately Yhwach understood! And precisely because he understood, he grew furious, glaring at Araki, glaring at the Soul King's Palace, glaring at every thought that had ever arisen in his mind……

Now Yhwach can no longer tell whether his birth was a miracle or a scheme plotted by the Soul King a million years ago……

"Araki, answer me! Why would the Soul King do this?"

Yhwach fixed his gaze on Araki and asked aloud.

"Probably because the Soul King truly loves the Three Worlds that came into being because of Him!"

After a moment's thought, Araki spoke frankly.

"Hahaha, hahaha……"

"Really? Does the Soul King love the Three Worlds?!"

"He loves the Three Worlds created by those who betrayed Him?!"

"Would He even sacrifice His only child?!"

"Father! You love everything in this world, so why don't You love me?!"

Yhwach suddenly burst into mad laughter.

Just as in the original story, when Yhwach saw the incarnation of the Soul King's will, Mimihagi, rebel against him, he became enraged and devastated, intending to destroy everything……

At this moment, Yhwach, as always, entered a state of madness……

"If that's the case, then let's destroy everything!"

"Since you, Soul King, love this so much—this Three Worlds forged from Your corpse and the blood of Your descendants—"

"Then I will, right before Your eyes, utterly destroy the world You cherish! I will make You regret ever giving birth to me……"

"Soul King, use those eyes that can see the future—open them wide in the distant past and let me see clearly!"

"Watch how I annihilate the world You hold dear!"

Yhwach roared in anger; his spiritual pressure swept across the entire Soul King's Palace, then poured from the Palace into the whole Soul Society, as if he were announcing his advent to the world!

Yhwach seems to know that his father, the invincible Soul King, is somewhere in this world or at some point in the past, gazing upon the present future……

Yhwach likewise understands that for a being like the Soul King, who possesses true omniscience and omnipotence—capable of creating worlds, stars, space, and universes with a gesture……

The very notion of time means nothing! The Soul King merely died in the future yet was born in the past; He must still be lingering at some point in the past, clinging to life while gazing toward the future!

But the Soul King he was still unable to interfere with the present world~ because the coming time belonged to his friend Youhabhe, it belonged to his omniscient and omnipotent……

"Huang Mu, don't stop me!"

"I want to create a new world!"

"This is not out of the Soul King's will, but out of my own will!"

After venting together with Youhabhe, he looked at Huang Mu beside him with his own gloomy eyes and shouted at Huang Mu in a cold voice.

"Youhabhe, do you want to betray your own father?"

Huang Mu, hearing this, smiled and spoke to Youhabhe.

"Shut up! Don't mention those two words 'father' again! The Soul King is merely a cowardly loser; he doesn't even deserve to be called a son, I don't have such a useless father……"

Youhabhe nearly vomited blood from Huang Mu's words.

Even if the Soul King really appeared before him, he would want to choke the Soul King to death and still make him call the Soul King father?! Don't joke……

Now his mind is filled with hatred; he wants to destroy everything related to the Soul King~

"Sigh……"

Huang Mu looked at Youhabhe's anxious appearance and lightly sighed.

"You say you're such a person, how did you even let your guard down for no reason?!"

"Youhabhe, let me remind you of this……"

"Since the Soul King loves this world yet still acquiesced to your birth!"

"Then how can you be sure the Soul King has no means to deal with you?!"

"Or have you considered that even your plan to destroy the Three Realms is within the Soul King Majesty's plan?!"

Huang Mu looked at the pitiful Youhabhe and gave a reminder.

"Hmm……"

Youhabhe, after hearing Huang Mu's words, his pupils suddenly trembled.

Only saw, Youhab's forehead continuously beaded with sweat……

As Huang Mu said, no one knows what future the Soul King, who can see the future and change it at any time, had chosen a million years ago before being sealed by the ancestors of the Five Great Clans using crystal!

"……"

At this moment Youhabhe suddenly felt a long-lost trace of fear.

If his birth was meant to succeed the Soul King, becoming a new wedge maintaining the Three Realms, then what meaning does all he has done have?!

"I will resist! I will resist fate……"

"I will absolutely not bow down!"

"Even the Soul King cannot make me bow down!"

"I want to create a world where no one dies, I want to create a world without war, bloodshed, famine, or disease!"

"I want to create a true heaven, a utopia! I want to create a world where everyone can show a smile! I want to create a world where there will no longer be lonely souls that, at the moment I fall asleep, accuse the world's injustice in my ears……"

"I want to create a brand-new, new world!"

As Youhabhe spoke, he had already clenched his fists, his gaze toward the distant sky; no one could stop him from creating a truly peaceful world—not even the Soul King……

If anyone dares to stop him, then let them all become the foundation of peace!

"Huang Mu, others may not understand me, but you, who obtained part of my authority in our battle a thousand years ago, should understand me, right?!"

"I suppose even you, whenever you fall asleep, the wails of resentful spirits unwilling to die that reach your ears truly do not cause any turmoil in your heart, not even a hint of pain?!"

Youhabhe looked at Huang Mu and asked aloud.

"A world without war?!"

Huang Mu, after hearing Youhabhe's words, raised his head to look at the sky.

"But I always feel that a true utopia should not be created through war! If the way to eliminate war is to first start a greater war, then does the new world you create really have any meaning?!"

Huang Mu, having said his piece, said no more.

"Anyway, cheer up, Youhabhe……"

After speaking, Huang Mu lightly shook his head and immediately turned and left.

"……"

Youhabhe watched Huang Mu's retreating back and slightly opened his mouth.

Obviously Youhabhe took it in; he is reflecting……

How to eliminate war, pestilence, famine, and death~

Is it to first provoke a greater war? Even if a new world is created, does this so-called new world really have any meaning?!

At this moment, Youhabhe is reflecting on his own actions……

"I see, is this what Teacher Huang Mu has always been pursuing?"

Likewise, Lanran Songyoujie also took it in.

At this moment, Lanran finally understood why Huang Mu, clearly unwilling, yet content to be an ordinary regent under the Soul King instead of directly replacing the god……

It's only because Huang Mu is too kind, not wanting to create meaningless slaughter~

"The struggle against fate, the birth of a new world, the progress of the era, the elevation of the realm!"

"Reform, reform, or still the damn reform……"

"Then let you handle these troublesome matters~"

In response, Huang Mu lightly shook his head.

Next, Youhabhe wants to destroy the Three Realms!

The first obstacle he will face is not Huang Mu~

But the Son of the World, the Soul King's own grandson, the arbiter of fate!

Kurosaki Ichigo and Ishida Uryuu!

As for Araki, he must go to Genryūsai's detached palace and wake the deceased Genryūsai~

Boom!!

Just as Yhwach, in an instant, destroyed the entirety of the 'Soul King Palace', and using the subjugation of spirit particles, transformed the entirety of the 'Soul King Palace' into a splendid palace, and as the master of this splendid palace, Yhwach sat silently upon the throne—

A huge passage emitting golden light appeared directly inside Yhwach's palace! As that gate opened, Kurosaki Ichigo, Ishida Uryuu, Haschwalth, Bazz-B, Sado Yasutora, Inoue Orihime, as well as Tsukishima Shuuji and Ginjo Kugo, finally arrived before Yhwach……

Kurosaki Ichigo, you still came!

Yhwach sat on the throne, his gaze complex as he looked at Kurosaki Ichigo.

If everything is as Araki and he said……

Then Kurosaki Ichigo is his good father, the 'Soul King' Majesty's sword used to slay him!

Kurosaki Ichigo! Listen……

This is all the 'Soul King's' plan!

There is no contradiction between me and you……

I only want to create a world without death or bloodshed!

Once the new world is born, you can forever live together with your family! Isn't such a life wonderful?!

Yhwach gazed at Kurosaki Ichigo and spoke persuasively.

Forever together? What nonsense……

Yhwach! What exactly are you saying?!

I completely don't understand what you're saying!

Anyway, I only need to know that you bastard is an enemy!

Bankai! The true Heaven Chain Slaying Moon……

Yhwach, take this move of mine, Moon Fang Heaven-Piercing!!

In response, Kurosaki Ichigo continued to display his powerful hearing, as if directly blocking all of Yhwach's words, regardless of whether what Yhwach said made sense! Only seeing Kurosaki Ichigo roar, he released toward Yhwach a combined version of the flash of Moon Fang Heaven-Piercing and King Hollow~

Boom!!

In an instant, soaring spiritual pressure erupted from within the 'Soul King Palace'~

Come on! Wanting to create a new world, create a true utopia, Yhwach! Quickly unleash your powerful power to defeat the deaf, the bull-headed, the blond, and the one called a one-sword superhuman, Kurosaki Ichigo the Great Demon King~

Araki stood in his own 'detached hall', silently observing the fierce battle between Yhwach and Kurosaki Ichigo, calmly drinking tea~

Having reached Araki's level, even if Yhwach truly created a new world, he would not die! He would even occupy a place in the new world~

Now, Araki is merely curious: can Yhwach truly change his fate and create a so-called miracle?!

At this moment, Araki is somewhat like a drama‑lover~

Whether in the end Yhwach wins or Kurosaki Ichigo wins……

Araki will definitely not lose; the victor is forever the one who does not enter the chess game~

Inside the 'Soul King Palace'.

Kurosaki Ichigo, your sword cannot harm me!

Yhwach blocked Kurosaki Ichigo's Soul-Cutter Sword with one hand, then instantly broke Kurosaki Ichigo's sword!

What?!

At the moment Kurosaki Ichigo's sword was broken, everyone present was dumbfounded……

Can't understand?

Actually, the moment Kurosaki Ichigo you stepped into my palace, your sword was already broken by me! This is my Holy Script Ability, the omniscient and omnipotent power, which can freely alter fate……

Yhwach gazed at Kurosaki Ichigo and spoke softly.

Dual Heaven Return Shield, I refuse!

At the moment Kurosaki Ichigo's sword broke……

Inoue Orihime immediately activated her Fullbring power, attempting to restore Yhwach's Soul-Cutter Sword. However, accompanied by that flashing golden light, Kurosaki Ichigo's sword showed no sign of recovery……

Useless!

In response, Yhwach merely smiled faintly.

What I broke is not Kurosaki Ichigo's Soul-Cutter Sword……

What I broke is all future possibilities of Kurosaki Ichigo's Soul-Cutter Sword!

In other words, Kurosaki Ichigo's Soul-Cutter Sword currently has no future existence that could allow him to return to its original state!

Since it is a future‑less existence, how could it be successfully rejected by you?!

Yhwach sat calmly on the throne, his expression serene as he spoke.

Since losing the future to return to its original state!

Then just create a past that wasn't broken by you, wouldn't that work?!

At the moment Yhwach's words fell, the ever‑silent Tsukishima Shuuji took out his Holy Script Ability Book of the End, and with a stab inserted it into Kurosaki Ichigo, as well as Kurosaki Ichigo's broken Soul-Cutter Sword, into the body of Slaying Moon.

Huh?!

With Tsukishima Shuuji's movement, Yhwach's pupils twitched slightly.

Dual Heaven Return Shield! I refuse!

Without waiting for Yhwach to think further……

Inoue Orihime's voice once again echoed in the great hall.

Swish!

In an instant, Kurosaki Ichigo's Soul-Cutter Sword suddenly returned to its original state.

How is that possible?!

Youhabah saw this expression and was slightly taken aback.

It seemed that even Youhabah hadn't expected that there would be such a restraining ability in this world! And in that brief moment, Youhabah once again felt the strong malice of His Majesty the Spirit King toward him~

"Hehe! What does it matter if you've recovered!!"

"As long as you break it once more, that'll do!"

In response, Youhabah, after a brief cold smile, once again activated his omniscient and omnipotent power! This time Youhabah not only destroyed Ichigo Heisaki's Slaying Moon, but also destroyed Shujirou Yuedao's bookmark, as well as Orihime Jing's hairpin~

"Now, what can you do to me!!"

After Youhabah broke all things that could possibly destroy him, he revealed a smile! As long as Heisaki Ichigo lacks his Soul-Cutting Sword, he is an invincible existence; in this world, only Heisaki Ichigo's sword can slay him~

"Ding-dong~ ding-dong~"

Just as Youhabah sat confidently upon the throne……

Yugelan·Hasivode came silently before Heisaki Ichigo's Soul-Cutting Sword, and immediately made a decision……

Hasivode decided to use himself as a medium, bearing all of Heisaki Ichigo's unfortunate future; the final cost would likely be his death!

But it could secure a victorious future for Heisaki Ichigo……

"Heisaki Ichigo! Ten seconds, you only have ten seconds……"

Hasivode said, and activated his own Holy Scripture ability.

"Boom!"

In an instant, Heisaki Ichigo, Orihime Jing, and Shujirou Yuedao—all the misfortune that would befall them in the future—was borne entirely by Hasivode~

"Boom!"

This misfortune was truly too vast; the instant Hasivode bore it, his shield instantly shattered into pieces!

"Heisaki Ichigo……"

"Seize this opportunity!"

Hasivode roared at Heisaki Ichigo.

"I understand!"

Heisaki Ichigo, hearing that, didn't think twice and launched another attack at Youhabah!

"Hasivode, you're not bad!"

Youhabah paid no heed to Heisaki Ichigo above; he gazed at Hasivode and softly praised him.

"Boom!!"

The next second, Heisaki Ichigo's blade instantly pierced through Youhabah's body!

Youhabah immediately appeared before everyone in a bisected posture!

"Pfft……"

And within those few short seconds, Hasivode had already reached the brink of death.

"Hasivode!"

Bazibi looked at the dying Hasivode, his eyes filled with a complex expression.

"Bazibi, we succeeded!"

Hasivode said, his eyes slowly closing.

"Hey! Borrow your injury for a moment……"

Just as Hasivode quietly awaited his own death……

Shitian Yulong came to Hasivode's side, instantly activating his Holy Scripture ability; the power of Holy Scripture A (Complete Opposition) immediately triggered, reflecting Hasivode's injuries onto Yulong's body.

Immediately afterward, Yulong turned his gaze toward Youhabah……

"Boom!"

The next second, the injuries on Yulong's body were instantly rebounded onto Youhabah.

"What is this?!"

Hasivode, who had been planning to wait for death, saw his body restored to its original state and widened his eyes.

"Don't underestimate me—my Holy Scripture ability is rank A, on the same level as Youhabah's omniscience and omnipotence; how could such an injury possibly bring me down?!"

Yulong said, gently pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose.

"Oh? Yulong, you just said your Holy Scripture ability and my omniscience and omnipotence are of the same level? That really makes me feel a bit afraid~"

Just as everyone thought the battle was over……

The moment Youhabah had been successfully killed by them~

That Youhabah, who ought to have already been slain, suddenly stood up once more~

"What?!"

"How is that possible?!"

"Isn't he supposed to be dead already?!"

For a moment, everyone present was stunned.

"Is it strange? I merely altered my impending death in the future, and let my present self remain unharmed—nothing more……"

"What? Do you think my ability is just too overpowered? Don't be surprised—if you can't even pull off such manipulation, what's the point of calling it omniscience and omnipotence?!"

"Shitian Yulong! Now, let me ask you—can you still say, as you just did, that your ability is on the same level as my omniscience and omnipotence?!"

Youhabah looked at Shitian Yulong and asked coldly.

"Um……"

Shitian Yulong, hearing that, his expression instantly became somewhat anxious and uneasy.

At this moment, Yulong felt his scalp tingling; he simply had no idea how to defeat Youhabah before him……

Youhabah's omniscience and omnipotence truly revealed the two words "invincible"!

"I have to say, just now your combo, if following Araki's words, should be incredibly smooth! I even let my guard down for a moment and fell for your trick!"

"Too bad! If you had sealed my omniscience and omnipotence before letting Hēiqí Yīgù swing his blade at me just now, I might have really died back then~"

"But in front of me, there's no 'if'! Losing means you've lost! Now, let you feel what true despair really is!"

Yǒuhābāhè spoke, his body suddenly shrouded in countless darkness, a pair of eyes reflecting three pupils seeming to have already seen through everyone's future……

In the sky, everyone's death omen stars seemed to be constantly flashing!

At this moment, Yǒuhābāhè's whole body exuded the two characters 'invincible'~

"Boom!"

Just as everyone present no longer knew how to defeat Yǒuhābāhè, another golden gate slowly lit up within the "Soul King's Great Inner Palace"……

Only two rugged figures descended from the sky! Like a brown bear, Gēngmù Jiànbā and Kūwūshì fell straight into the "Soul King's Great Inner Palace", standing before the already invincible Yǒuhābāhè of the Three Realms……

"Who are you?!"

"Gēngmù Jiànbā and Kūwūshì?"

"Even with two more people, your ending won't change……"

Yǒuhābāhè faced Kūwūshì and Gēngmù Jiànbā, speaking in an icy voice.

"We've arrived!"

Who would have thought, after Yǒuhābāhè finished speaking……

Kūwūshì and Gēngmù paid no heed to his words, instead carefully placing the two ornaments hanging on their backs onto the ground~

The two ornaments that Kūwūshì and Gēngmù jointly brought were naturally Huāngmù's two daughters, Huāngmù Bāqiānliú and Huāngmù Bùdiāohuā!

At this moment, Bāqiānliú and Bùdiāohuā seemed to have just woken up, slowly stretching~

They then looked at the invincible Yǒuhābāhè.

"Huh?!"

I don't know if it's Yǒuhābāhè's illusion, but he always felt that the sisters Huāngmù Bāqiānliú and Huāngmù Bùdiāohuā before him gave him a strong sense of oppression~

This sense of oppression and crisis was something Yǒuhābāhè had never felt from Hēiqí Yīgù or Shítián Yǔlóng, causing his heart to panic slightly……

"Next! It's our turn to act, sisters~"

Exactly at this moment, Huāngmù Bāqiānliú raised her Soul-Cutting Sword.

"Mm! Okay, sis~"

Upon hearing that, Huāngmù Bùdiāohuā likewise raised her Soul-Cutting Sword.

Immediately, Huāngmù Bùdiāohuā and Huāngmù Bāqiānliú directly tore off the seal placed on their Soul-Cutting Swords by Huāngmù……

"Boom!!"

In an instant, terrifying spiritual pressure burst forth from within Huāngmù Bùdiāohuā and Huāngmù Bāqiānliú~

"Teacher Huāngmù, are your daughters really only eight and six years old?"

In response, Lánrǎn Zǒngyòujiè, who stood beside Huāngmù, felt the spiritual pressure of Huāngmù Bùdiāohuā and Huāngmù Bāqiānliú and his expression changed slightly; their spiritual pressure was clearly above his!

"Of course~"

In response, Huāngmù calmly took a sip of tea.

"Sorry, Fúzhú Shísìláng, I was wrong earlier as your junior……"

"It's just that my voice was really too loud~"

"There really are people in this world who are born standing in the sky~"

Lánrǎn Zǒngyòujiè's forehead broke out in cold sweat……

At the same time, Lánrǎn Zǒngyòujiè silently apologized to his senior Fúzhú Shísìláng in his heart, admitting he shouldn't have said that about Ukitake back then and had wrongly blamed him……

"The seal is undone, my power has returned~"

Exactly at the moment the seal on Huāngmù Bùdiāohuā and Huāngmù Bāqiānliú was lifted~

The figures of the two guardians, the Sunlight-Pervading Bodhisattva and the Moonlight-Pervading Bodhisattva, instantly detached from Huāngmù Bāqiānliú and Huāngmù Bùdiāohuā and flew toward Huāngmù……

"Boom!!"

As the Sunlight-Pervading Bodhisattva, Moonlight-Pervading Bodhisattva, and Huāngmù merged into one!

Huāngmù's spiritual pressure instantly doubled!

Yes, the reason Huāngmù didn't directly engage Yǒuhābāhè in battle was solely because he had been helping his daughters stabilize their spiritual pressure; the Huāngmù who had been fighting Yǒuhābāhè possessed only half of his peak strength~ Unfortunately, Yǒuhābāhè never noticed this~

Even the people in the Soul King Palace, the members of the Zero Division, failed to notice this point of Huāngmù……

""

Lánrǎn Zǒngyòujiè was stunned.

In other words, back then Huāngmù knocked him down with just half his spiritual pressure!?

"Complete Release!"

Exactly at this moment……

Huāngmù Bāqiānliú and Huāngmù Bùdiāohuā unveiled their true Complete Release.
