Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 241 Past and Future, The Death of Yhwach!

The moment the Bankai release command of the Zanpakuto fell, a layer of glass-like ripples suddenly appeared in the space around Guan Yi underground.

The ripples spread wildly from him to a depth of 500 meters, freezing the shattered rock layers, churning sand and dust, and even the violent spiritual pressure left by Yhwach's slash into a solidified image in an instant.

The time-space corridor unfolds in a circular pattern, but this time, Guan Yi is not using the spiritual pressure of others to construct the corridor; the target of his Bankai is himself.

Thus, every scene that appears in that circular corridor depicts Guan Yi and Yhwach fighting.

The story unfolds chronologically, showing his initial close combat with Yhwach, his numerous battles with Yhwach's Great Archon using Kido, the moment Yhwach opened his Eyes of Eden, and the moment Yhwach sent him flying.
At the very moment the swastika was released, Yhwach in the sky transformed into a golden lightning bolt, piercing through the rock layers and reaching the ground. The Quincy blade, carrying the locked future, stabbed towards Guan Yi's neck!

*Thud*—The sharp blade pierced straight through Guan Yi's throat, and the blooming corridor suddenly spun, Guan Yi's figure vanishing like a bubble.

The next instant, behind Yhwach, in the scene depicting Guan Yi and Yhwach's Great Archer Bow clashing against the Kido, Guan Yi suddenly came to life, walked out of the corridor, and with a wave of his hand, hundreds of Kido spells were ready to be launched at Yhwach!
"The ability to replace the present with the past, and to be almost immortal before one's physical strength is exhausted?"

Yhwach turned around, his Bloodstained Outer Armor unfolding, easily blocking all the demonic paths. Even when Guan Yi once again constructed the Yin-Yang Dragon, it was annihilated by Yhwach's two strikes.

"But I clearly remember that I have changed the future that will allow your Bankai to take effect." With unparalleled power, Yhwach charged forward and plunged the Quincy Blade into Guan Yi's heart once again, watching Guan Yi's figure vanish once more.

"So that's how it is. So you used all that power that could slightly resist omniscience and omnipotence to maintain Bankai? A meaningless struggle."

Yhwach turned around and clashed with Guan Yi, who had emerged from the past, easily neutralizing the damage from Guan Yi's attack.

Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!
Guan Yi changed his moves again and again, sometimes combining the martial arts of the Kengan world to unleash unique slashes, sometimes using improved high-level Kido, and sometimes using the power of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques... But no matter what moves he used, he was always ineffective against Yhwach's omniscience and omnipotence!

He was beheaded, pierced through the heart, and cut in half at the waist by Yhwach time and time again, yet he always emerged unscathed from the past to try again.

Repeat this 100 times within five minutes.

The battle has traveled from over 500 meters underground, carrying the power to pierce through Hueco Mundo, to a depth of 2,000 meters, and continues in an endless cycle!

"Still won't give up?"

Yhwach's sword swung casually, yet it carried the power to shatter all of Guan Yi's moves. "Even if your Bankai can restore all injuries, even if death can reset them, the consumption of physical strength will always be unavoidable."

His voice was deep and intimidating.

"Besides... the pain of a shattered sternum."

click-

"The tearing sensation of my internal organs shifting."

Boom—

"The suffocating feeling of having a hole pierced my throat."

puff--

"These sensations are still very real acting on you. Before your consciousness is swallowed up, how many more attacks can you launch against me?!"

Yhwach's double pupils always reflected the future of Guan Yi's death—as the battle progressed, there were no changes or surprises, and everything continued to slide along the predetermined cause-and-effect line!
"Submit to me."

But now, Yhwach seemed to appreciate his talent even more. "You have stolen the power of the Quincy, you can accept my gift! Human, your talent is one in a million years!"

"It would be such a waste to die here like this. You can replace Haschwalth and become my new half-body, rebuilding the Unknown Empire and the Sternritter for me." Having opened his eyes two years early and gained imperfect omniscience and omnipotence, Yhwach knew that to make up for this imperfection, he would need to sleep for at least a hundred times longer, that is, two hundred years!
Before falling asleep, the moment he opened his eyes, he intended to deal with Guan Yi and Aizen, the two guys who ruined his plans, before going back to sleep, but he was worried about more variables that might occur while he was asleep.

He needed to find new subordinates; Ishida Uryu was still too weak, and he didn't have the time to slowly cultivate him. After much thought, the most suitable candidate turned out to be Guan Yi, the very person who would sabotage his plans!
Yhwach's Quincy Cross pierced Guan Yi's chest once again, speaking from the bottom of his heart: "While I sleep, you are the emperor of the new Wandenreich!"
"Once I become the new Spirit King and reshape the Three Realms, your authority will be second only to mine; you will attain a position second only to the One and above the Three Realms!"

This time, Guan Yi's figure did not vanish. He gently placed his hand on the Extinction Cross Blade that pierced his chest, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

"Hmph, have you finally reached your limit?" Yhwach's double pupils stared into Guan Yi's eyes: "Choose, human, this is your last chance!"

Guan Yi looked at him, then suddenly curled the corners of her mouth and smiled: "A choice? Speaking of choices, Yhwach, why do you think I chose to deal with you first? The Zero Division and the Soul Society are both hunting me down, so why would I choose to keep targeting your Wandenreich and take such a risk?"

"Hmm?" This state suddenly made Yhwach feel uneasy. His double pupils immediately flashed with golden light, trying to see the future, but the next moment his pupils shrank, and what he saw was a blank screen!
"How come..."

puff! !

Guan Yi's two Zanpakuto pierced Yhwach's heart and throat with lightning speed. Yhwach should have been able to easily dodge. But as he tried to dodge, he found himself completely paralyzed!
This feeling is very similar to when he unleashed his omniscient and omnipotent power to rewrite the future, giving these two thrusts an infallible attribute that transcends cause and effect!
impossible!
Why is this happening?!
“Because after I mastered Bankai, I discovered that my Bankai would just happen to counter your omniscience and omnipotence.” Guan Yi twirled the blade, tearing pain engulfing Yhwach, who was completely unable to move and could only stare angrily at Guan Yi with wide eyes.

“Your omniscience and omnipotence foresee the future, but the timing of my Bankai killings is precisely in the past,” Guan Yi explained. “107 times, you just killed me a full 107 times. Just right, I killed you a fraction of that in the past, 7 times.”

Guan Yi's fingertips caressed the hilt of his Zanpakuto. The azure-colored time corridor was still slowly rotating around him. In the scenes that recorded the previous battles, his figure was seen raising his head one by one, while the blade in his hand simultaneously plunged into the hearts of those blind Yhwachs in the scene.

"In the past...murder?"

Yhwach's voice cracked for the first time. The Extinction Cross Blade was still embedded in Guan Yi's chest, but the wound that should have been fatal now seemed like an absurd joke. He could clearly feel his life force rapidly draining away through the wounds in his heart and throat, and each pulse beat was awakening the forgotten agony of death that should have happened in the 'past'.

"You think I keep coming out of the corridor just to repeat useless attacks?" Guan Yi smiled, blood dripping from the corner of his lips onto his clothes. Although his breath was weak, his eyes were surprisingly bright. "My Bankai, Time Reversal Corridor, can not only allow my past self to replace my present self, but also imprint the killing moves of the 'present' into every point in time of the 'past'."

"You can easily thwart my attacks now, but you couldn't when you hadn't opened your eyes before. Therefore, out of 107 attacks, only 7 were effective."

"Actually, once is enough. Once you kill your past, you will have no future. But to be on the safe side, I should thank Aizen for lending me his power so that I could accumulate seven kills."

Guan Yi stared at Yhwach and said, "In short, if you have some means of resurrecting more than seven times, I will now submit to you and become the Grand Master of your Sternritter."

Yhwach simply glared at Guan Yi.

"It seems you don't."

"Then, farewell."

Boom—

A deafening roar suddenly erupted from two thousand meters underground, and Yhwach's terrifying spiritual pressure dissipated like a tidal wave.

"Why...why is this happening...I actually lost to...a human?!"

Yhwach's prized Bloodstained Armor cracked inch by inch, and the Annihilation Cross Blade slipped from Guan Yi's chest, crashing to the ground with a thud.

Without the past, there would be no present or future.

Yhwach, the Quincy King, has irreversibly reached his end!
