Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 237 Yhwach is on the move
The Visoreds' base collapsed the moment the battle broke out and gradually merged with the Hueco Mundo desert as the battle progressed.

In the shadows beneath the few remaining rubble, a broken, invisible empire hides.

In fact, it's more accurate to call them an 'invisible military force' rather than an invisible empire, since they now consist of only a handful of people.

Most of their fighting force had been wiped out a year ago. Only four members of the Sternritter remained to fight Guan Yi. At this moment, apart from Yhwach, the Wandenreich only had some Quincy 'technicians' with average combat strength who had been protected during the battle with Seireitei.

They successfully completed the Star Emblems that enabled them to obtain Bankai during the year, and were therefore rewarded. Several of the senior technicians were allowed to accompany Yhwach and watch the battle, which would likely be the first time the Star Emblems were used.

But the course of this battle was completely different from what they, and Yhwach, had anticipated!

When the Quincy Captain Rije Barrow's All-Encompassing Technique was broken by Guan Yi, and when Quincy member Askin was killed by Guan Yi with a single strike, several researchers couldn't help but gape, their eyes even revealing a hint of fear.

When they recovered from the shock of that scene, an even greater sense of dread enveloped them. For their king, Yhwach, was watching them with a sinister expression!

"You...are you afraid?"

"No, no, Your Majesty..."

Are you afraid of the enemy?

Yhwach rose from his throne and looked down at the researchers.

An intense sense of oppression enveloped them, rendering them speechless. They could only tremble as Yhwach approached, and with a cold snort from Yhwach, they screamed in agony.

"No! Your Majesty..."

"Please forgive us!!"

Their wails could not change Yhwach's mind. As the Apostolic Revelation was initiated, their souls were gradually drained by Yhwach, turning into streams of power that flowed into Yhwach's body.

The bodies of the several people fell to the ground. Yhwach glanced to the outside world again and saw Penida revealing her true form and displaying her perfect body.

The Holy Body gave Penida Pakaja a golden halo above her head, which formed two large, flat, hand-shaped wings, transforming Penida from an ordinary monster hand into a flying monster hand that fanned up waves and slammed towards Guan Yi!
Yhwach narrowed his eyes slightly.

Unlike other members of the Sternritter, Gerard and Penida, members of the Divine Pardon Guard, already possessed great power before Yhwach bestowed upon them the Holy Script!
Because one of them is the Spirit King's heart and the other is the Spirit King's left hand, their power level is one level higher than that of ordinary members!
The Spirit King's left hand possesses the power of his father, the Spirit King who created the Three Realms, and is in charge of propelling this world forward.

Even if this human's strange ability could break through Lijebarrow's all-encompassing connection and Haschwald's world harmony, Yhwach did not believe that it could supersede the Soul King's authority.

As long as Penida can make contact with him, the power to move forward will be activated, Penida's nerves will be connected to this human, and she will know all the information about this human named Guanyi!

At this moment, even Yhwach couldn't help but feel curious about where this human came from and how he had mastered the movements and powers of the invisible empire.

Then, you will gain his power!
Rumbling--

When Guan Yi gripped the hilt of his sword and clashed and slashed with the flying Spirit King's left hand, a deafening roar exploded. The earth of Hueco Mundo was torn apart, creating a bottomless chasm. Yellow sand flew everywhere, and even the night sky of Hueco Mundo was shaken open, with the intense impact almost reaching the Invisible Empire through the shadows!
Yhwach clenched his fists, his expression shifting dramatically.

Under his oppressive and sinister gaze, the left arm of God, which governs 'evolution', failed to connect its nerves to Guan Yi upon colliding with him. Instead, it gradually turned into something like rotten wood and broke in two from the center!
At the point of fracture, spiritual particles scattered wildly, only to be completely absorbed by the spiritual pressure surrounding Guan Yi.

Having withstood only one blow, the Spirit King's left hand disintegrated, vanished, and returned to nothingness.

Guan Yi's momentum only increased!
"This is impossible... Who exactly is he?! How can he devour Father's power?!"

……

Guan Yi did not devour the power of the Spirit King, nor does he currently possess that ability. He merely used the Six Treasures Immortal Thief to transform the Spirit King's left hand, which he had cleaved in two, into pure spiritual particles for absorption.

When it comes to using the Six Treasures Immortal Thief to eat, Guan Yi is quite particular—he doesn't eat humanoid beings that have gained intelligence. Because of this, the strongest Hollow Guan Yi has consumed in the past year is only a Gillian.

But King Ling's left hand is not human.

Therefore, Guan Yi ate without any worries. This not only made up for all his previous losses, but also increased his spiritual pressure to a certain extent!

As for annihilating Penida with a single strike, that was perfectly normal for Guan Yi. It was just a left hand; its status was high, but its weaknesses were also obvious. It possessed almost no combat intelligence. When the power of rules it mastered could not surpass the source return ability of the spiritual pressure source, and when most of its flaws were perceived by the Great Luo Insight, it was even easier to deal with than Kensei Muguruma.

"Hiccup~ Thank you for the meal."

After the Spirit King's left hand completely turned into spirit particles and disappeared, Guan Yi, who was full, let out a satisfied burp, and even his breath was full of white mist of spirit particles.

Looking at Hasward and Lijie Barrow, who were being pushed back by the impact, Guan Yi's spiritual pressure suddenly condensed, creating a circular gap under his feet.

Make use of what you can't digest.

"Hado No. 99 - Five Dragons' Annihilation!"

The moment the shout fell, the spiritual pressure around Guan Yi exploded like a powder keg being ignited, and five solidified spiritual dragons roared as they broke free from the restraints on Guan Yi's body.

Their dragon scales shimmered with a black and white eerie light, which was the ghostly power that Guan Yi had highly condensed. Although they had abandoned the incantation, their power was several times stronger than that of a normal death god when fully incantated. The dragon claws tore through the void!
With the Quincy's control over spirit particles, Ridge Barrow, after activating his Holy Body, should have been able to disregard the Kido. However, with the example of Askin and the shock of Penida being instantly defeated still fresh in his mind, he dared not try it himself.

The wings of holy bullets on his back immediately began to vibrate wildly, and hundreds of gun barrels simultaneously unleashed golden, piercing beams of light. He pushed the power of interconnectedness to its limit, the beams weaving into an impenetrable net, and finally achieved victory.

The two spirit dragons rushing towards him could no longer be immune to his all-encompassing power and were cut in half by the beam of light, but the powerful energy they unleashed still caused his blood and qi to surge.

Meanwhile, Hasward, on the other hand, harnessed his luck and slew the dragon with his sword.

Boom boom boom—

The smoke and dust from the explosion engulfed everything. Both Lijiebaro and Hasward, who had dealt with the five spirit dragons, were somewhat disheveled, but they barely paused and immediately launched a counterattack against Guan Yi.

But at the very moment the Five Dragons were about to collapse, Guan Yi murmured, "Second Transformation - Five Elements Dragon!"

The moment the words fell, Lijie Barrow was horrified to discover that the remains of the five dragons, which had just dissipated into countless spiritual particles, were being pulled back into shape in mid-air as if by invisible threads.

This time, the five spirit dragons were no longer simply black and white, but each was adorned with distinctly different elemental garments.

A golden fire dragon, a deep blue water dragon.

An earthen dragon, its body as solid as a mountain.

A wisp of wind, as light as cotton.

And that thunder dragon that shot into the sky in an instant, bringing lightning and thunder to the high heavens of Hueco Mundo!

These five elemental dragons were several times more powerful than the Five Dragons of Annihilation from before! When Lijie Barrow fought against the wind dragons, he was constantly cut with small wounds, and he was almost cut in half or beheaded several times!
The heavy earth dragon was even more resilient in the face of his all-encompassing power, possessing self-healing abilities.

Haschward's elegant image was also destroyed by the thunder dragon that crashed down, and his golden hair stood on end, giving off a burnt smell!
They couldn't help but be secretly astonished and wondered, "Does the Grim Reaper's Demonic Path contain such powerful techniques?!"

of course not.

This is a modified version of the magic from the anime/manga series "Under One Person".

This is not over yet.

"Third turn..."

When those two words came out of Guan Yi's mouth, even Hasward felt a sense of powerlessness. The enemy's methods were truly beyond their comprehension. With the world's harmony failing to work, they couldn't even get close to their opponent. They simply couldn't imagine how they could win!
However, the expected scene of the five dragons being 'reborn' and facing a stronger attack did not happen. This time, Guan Yi suddenly stopped halfway through his spell.

He grabbed the Zanpakuto that was half-inserted in the ground and swung it backward as if he had eyes in the back of his head, suddenly colliding with the Spirit Broadsword that came from behind him.

Boom—!
The clash of spiritual pressure shook the heavens!
"How could the emperor of the mighty Invisible Empire launch a sneak attack?" Guan Yi asked amidst the rolling sandstorm.

Behind him, Yhwach, who emerged from the shadows and intended to sever all ties with Guan Yi, said in a sinister tone, "This question should not have come from the mouth of someone who plotted against us a year ago."

Yhwach has finally made a personal appearance!
