Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 229 A Disgraceful Escape
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Zanpakuto blocked several explosions, and Kyoraku Shunsui slid backward a distance, glancing in the direction where Kane's spiritual pressure had disappeared.

"We failed, Captain Urahara, Captain Yoruichi. That 'whistleblower' wasn't so easy for us to catch after all."

"Death! Where are you looking?!"

A beautiful female Quincy roared angrily and charged forward, wielding a short military sword with a forked blade. She slashed fiercely at Kyoraku Shunsui, triggering a spiritual pressure explosion that blasted Kyoraku Shunsui into a sorry state, forcing him to stagger backward.

She is one of the female knights of the Sternritter, Bambietta, whose holy name is E, symbolizing the ability of 'critical strike'. Shortly after the start of the Seireitei's surprise attack, she faced Kyoraku Shunsui, and the battle was evenly matched.

Seeing that Kyoraku Shunsui dared to be distracted while fighting her, the proud and assertive Kyoraku Shunsui was furious and launched an even stronger offensive.

Kyoraku Shunsui used both swords to defend, and said with a hint of helplessness, "Miss, don't put in so much effort. It seems that the outcome of this battle is not something that you and I can decide."

"Hmph, His Majesty will naturally be able to deal with Yamamoto Genryusai. Before that, I'll take care of you first!" Bambieta said confidently.

Deal with the Chief Commander?
Kyoraku Shunsui didn't think so.

He hadn't seen the old man unleash his full power for countless years. That terrifying spiritual pressure and flames burned everything in their path. The battlefield at the center was the only place that wasn't affected by Guan Yi's soaring spiritual pressure!
Thinking about all this, he couldn't help but glance over there again, only to be met with an even more violent attack from Bambieta.

……

Can we win?

Yhwach didn't think so either.

It will take him nearly three more years to recover his full power and open his all-knowing, all-powerful eyes. At that point, if he were to unleash his power, the only result would be its loss of control and the destruction of the invisible empire.

Since he was unable to contend with Yamamoto Shigekuni, even Haschward couldn't hold him off for long. The absolute difference in spiritual pressure and power couldn't be bridged by the power of rules; otherwise, he wouldn't have lost that battle a thousand years ago!
Standing atop the broken shadow, only Haschwalth and a few other Sternritter members remained unmoved; the rest had been sent by Yhwach to intercept Yamamoto Shigekuni. Yet, in that ten-on-one battle, it seemed as if the Captain-Commander had surrounded them all.

Each of his spiritual pressure flames required the Quincy to defend against with all their might. In the brief battle, three members of the Holy Cross Knights had already been burned to a crisp, and the members of his personal guard were already starting to lose their composure.

"Your Majesty, we..."

A gloomy gaze fell upon him, interrupting Yaskin's words. Yhwach, clutching a badge in his hand, asked, "How much longer until the shadows invade Hueco Mundo?"

"It will take at least another fifteen minutes!"

Fifteen minutes?
Yhwach, who had witnessed Yamamoto Shigekuni's power a thousand years ago, knew that even with his current astonishing performance, it was not his full strength. This bastard had not yet achieved Bankai; he was still conserving his spiritual power and physical strength to deal with him!

Fifteen minutes is too long.

Yhwach felt a strong killing intent, not only directed at the Captain-Commander, but also at Seki. How could Yhwach not guess what was going on with this surprise attack the moment Seki's spiritual pressure hit the Seireitei?

That human has a criminal record!
Yhwach was just watching the show when he reported Aizen, but he never expected to see it happen to him!
It's no longer important how that guy learned about the Invisible Empire, nor is it important about his ability to devour shadow spiritual power. Yhwach has already listed Guan Yi as an object that must be eliminated!

To escape successfully today, it seems we must sacrifice some of our fighting strength.

I will settle this score with you.

He tossed the badge in his hand away.

The emblem emitted a radiant light, and Yhwach unleashed his most unique power.

Farewell!

hum-

The badge hovered in mid-air, emitting a blinding white light. The light was not warm, but rather carried a bone-chilling coldness and an undeniable pressure, piercing through the remaining shadow nodes and enveloping every Quincy who was fighting.

Members of the Sternritter across the battlefield shuddered, their movements halting involuntarily. Bambieta, who had been relentlessly attacking Kyoraku Shunsui just moments before, his spiritual pressure explosives already gathering in his palms, suddenly turned deathly pale, his movements halting as Kyoraku struck him with a single blow.

"Your Majesty...? Why?!"

puff-

Kyoraku Shunsui was stunned for a moment as he stared at the female Quincy lying on the ground, bleeding profusely. "Huh?"

While fighting a deadly battle with Toshiro Hitsugaya, Sou's annihilation power suddenly broke down, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood. His eyes were filled with unbelievable despair as he was frozen in solid ice.

Trapped by Byakuya Kuchiki, Ace Nott's shadow barrier instantly dimmed as he felt his annihilation power flowing backward through his bloodline, converging towards Yhwach. "This is... No! Your Majesty!!"

Those Quincy who were already suppressed by the Grim Reapers and injured had no strength left to struggle. The pain of having their spiritual energy drained far exceeded that of physical injuries; their bodies withered at a visible rate, and their spiritual particles turned into wisps of white light, merging into the badge in the center of the sky!

All that remained were the mournful, resentful cries of pain, which vanished in the flames of war in an instant.

In just a few breaths, more than half of the Quincy in Seireitei became vessels for Yhwach to extract power!
This is Yhwach's Sanctity, which can forcibly take the life and power of Quincy who have been given power by him and redistribute it!
Among the few Quincy standing beside Yhwach, some showed reluctance in their eyes, but dared not question Yhwach's actions.

Moreover, they are all beneficiaries.

The power collected by Yhwach was rapidly distributed among the Royal Guard and the remaining members of the Holy Cross Knights, bringing their power to its peak and increasing their spiritual pressure several times over!
In the distance, the Captain-Commander's flames, tinged with a hint of mercy, incinerated several Quincy who had been stripped of their spiritual power and plunged into despair.

He walked step by step toward the shadow where Yhwach was, the flames behind him distorting the airspace: "Sacrificing your subordinates for power? Yhwach, you're still as ruthless as ever."

Yhwach scoffed, "Yamamoto Shigekuni, you've changed quite a bit, becoming incredibly weak. I'd like to know, now, if faced with an attack capable of destroying Seireitei, would you deal with that attack first, or would you confront me first?"

"Um?!"

Captain-Commander Yamamoto's expression hardened, and he suddenly looked up at the sky, only to see a terrifying meteorite breaking through the clouds and falling towards the ground!

The meteorite was over a kilometer in diameter, its entire body shrouded in dark spiritual pressure, its surface covered with purplish-black patterns like blood vessels. Wherever it passed, clouds collapsed, spiritual particles became disordered, and even the reinforced barrier above the Seireitei rippled and emitted a hum that could not bear the burden.

At the same time, almost all the Grim Reapers who had just finished their battles looked up at the sky in shock.

What is that? A meteorite?

How could such a thing exist?!
Oh no! If we were hit by a meteorite of this size, the entire Seireitei would be reduced to ruins in an instant, and the number of dead and injured would be incalculable!
Holy letter V, Gremy Tomos.

This is the most outrageous member of the Holy Cross Knights, whose ability is 'Dreamer,' which allows him to materialize imagined things into reality!

After receiving instructions from Yhwach, he directly imagined the meteorite.

Seeing this indiscriminate attack, the Captain-Commander's raging spiritual pressure swayed wildly with his long beard as he said in a low voice, "That thing, I'll just destroy it along with you, Yhwach!"

"Solution—"

……

Twenty minutes later.

The Hollow Circle, a desolate place.

Yhwach, covered in charred marks, arrived with his remaining six men.

He looked extremely disheveled, but his expression carried a hint of triumphant disdain: "Just as I thought. Faced with an attack that could directly destroy the Seireitei, the soft-hearted Yamamoto Shigekuni only put half of his energy into dealing with me. Compared to a thousand years ago, his spiritual pressure has increased, but his strength has actually declined!"

Hmph, coward, there won't be another chance. We can lose as many soldiers as we want, as long as we retain our true elite...

"His Majesty!"

Just then, Haschwalth's call and the half-step forward action allowed Yhwach to quickly detach his mind from the fierce battle in Soul Society.

His expression darkened as he looked around.

Swish swish swish swish!
Suddenly, masked figures appeared.

Stark, Halibel, Ulquiorra, Nnoitra... Not only the Espada and their subordinates, but also the hundreds of Arrancar who are among the elite of Hueco Mundo, all appeared here!

Directly in front of Yhwach, Aizen, with a smile on his face, slowly descended.

Behind him followed Gin Ichimaru and Kaname Tōsen, who had somehow been brought to Hueco Mundo, as well as Daiō and Nyanko-sensei, who looked on with curiosity.

“Aizen Sousuke!” Yhwach’s face darkened, and he uttered these words in a sinister tone.

Aizen replied calmly, "King of the Quincy, welcome to... my Hueco Mundo."
