Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

As Araki thought about this, he couldn't help but think of his past life and the comments from countless netizens about the three main male protagonists of shonen manga, Naruto, Luffy, and Ichigo, after they encountered eloquent villains.

Naruto rejected the other party's talk-no-jutsu and persuaded them with his own superior talk-no-jutsu.

Luffy ignored the other party's attempts to talk his way out and stuck to his own ideas.

Ichigo Kurosaki is the most ruthless of the three. No matter whether what the other person is saying makes sense or not, he will say that he doesn't understand at all and just shout: "I don't understand what you're saying!" Then he will pick up his Zanpakuto and fight if he is not convinced!

at the same time……

Because the bread Masaki bought had fallen all over the ground, she freed up her hands and picked up young Ichigo Kurosaki. Holding an umbrella in one hand and Ichigo in the other, she walked home without a care in the world.

At this moment, Masaki's face did not show any joy because she had defeated Grand Fisher. She frowned, as if she was thinking about something.

"Just now, the Quincy power within me did indeed waver for a moment."

“An invisible force ruthlessly drained the Quincy power I inherited from the pureblood lineage. Just when I was powerless, another force replenished the Quincy power that had been drained from me. This is very strange…”

"I need to go to the Ishida family and ask Xiaolong and Zongxian-senpai!"

Masaki knew in her heart that the palpitations she had just felt and the wavering of the Quincy power must mean that something was wrong with their Quincy lineage.

Masaki pondered for a moment, then first sent young Ichigo home, and then used her Flying Leap to rush to the Ishida residence.

The moment Masaki arrived at the Ishida residence, she saw a group of unconscious Quincy hybrids, as well as the silent and serious Ishida Ryugen and Sogen.

"Masaki, you're here."

When Masaki arrived at the mansion, Ryugen's tightly furrowed brows visibly relaxed slightly, and a hint of tenderness flickered in his eyes.

"Xiaolong, what exactly happened?"

Masaki looked at Ryugen, who was serious and nervous, and immediately asked.

"..."

After hearing Masaki's words, Ryugen frowned even more, and there was a hint of unease in his eyes.

"It is sainthood!"

Before Ryugen could speak, Sogen told Masaki the truth first.

"Saint-Berg?!"

Masaki was stunned after hearing what Sogen said.

“Our Quincy King, Yhwach, has awakened.”

Before Masaki could think further, Sogen revealed the truth, word by word.

"Yhwabach?!"

Masaki's pupils contracted slightly as she spoke in disbelief.

Meanwhile, in the shadows of the Soul Society and the Seireitei...

An invisible empire hiding in the darkness.

On the throne that stands at the pinnacle of all things, a majestic and solitary figure sits quietly, his eyes seemingly gazing upon all things in the 'Three Realms,' overlooking the past and future of all beings, and controlling everything in the world!

That seemingly omniscient and omnipotent man was named...

“Yhwach!!”

In this dark land, this is how the Quincy refer to men.

Yes, the man's name is Yhwach. He is the King of the Quincy, the true enemy of the Shinigami! The culprit who led the Quincy to invade the Soul Society 990 years ago! Just as recorded in the Hymn of the Holy Emperor, the sealed King of the Quincy regained his heartbeat after 900 years, and then regained his consciousness after another 90 years…

At this moment, Yhwach, the Quincy King, had completely regained his heartbeat and consciousness, awakening from his endless hibernation. The first thing Yhwach did after waking up was to use Sanctuary to reclaim the power that he considered basically useless, which was scattered throughout the world among the hybrid Quincy.

"My people! You have suffered during the time I was sealed away!"

"Now I have fully awakened from my dark slumber. Nine years from now, I will have fully regained my power, and as prophesied, I will lead you all to conquer the entire 'Three Realms' within the Nine Heavens! And create the world we all dream of!"

Yhwach sat on his throne, his voice hoarse, calm, and full of power, echoing in the minds of every Quincy living in the Unknown Empire.

"Praise be to the great Emperor Yhwach!"

At this moment, countless Quincy raised their right hands, clenched them into fists, and pressed them firmly against their hearts. They were willing to give everything for the great Quincy King, including their power, spirit, life, and hearts.

"Then what happens next..."

Who is currently in charge of the Soul Society in Haschward?

"Is it still that old guy, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni?"

As Yhwach spoke, his sinister gaze swept over the shadow beside him, and he coldly addressed the person standing in the shadow.

"Replying to His Majesty Yhwach~"

"Currently, the person in charge of the 'Gotei 13' is not Yamamoto Genryusai, but Genryusai's apprentice Araki. Five hundred years ago, Araki defeated his teacher in 'Hueco Mundo' and took the position of Captain-Commander."

"As for the original captain, Yuan Liuzhai, according to my intelligence, he has long lost his former ambition and is now old and frail. He has simply gone to the 'Spirit Arts Academy' to lead students, and his main job now is to train the next generation of Grim Reapers!"

Hasswald replied calmly after hearing Yhwach's words.

"Oh? Genryusai actually lost? And he lost to Araki, that annoying brat. Has Genryusai really gotten old?"

"Now that the Seireitei has become Araki's territory, what about the Gotei 13, the violent group that Genryusai formed back then, which carried out acts of killing in the name of protection?"

Yhwach continued to question Hasward.

"If you're referring to the original 'Gotei 13,' then they're long gone. According to our intelligence, the original 'Gotei 13' all perished in Hueco Mundo. The current 'Gotei 13' has been passed down for countless generations. Because the Seireitei under Araki's rule has been too peaceful, it has long lacked warfare. Therefore, in my opinion, their strength is far inferior to the original..."

Hasswald replied after hearing Yhwach's words.

"Hahaha……"

Yhwach couldn't help but burst into laughter after hearing Hasward's words.

"The entire first generation of the Gotei 13 perished in Hueco Mundo?!"

"Don't be ridiculous! How could those assassins be killed by a mere Hollow!"

"It's nothing but a dirty political struggle! In peacetime, there's no need for knives stained with too much blood! But this suits me just fine; the Grim Reapers are essentially clipping their own wings..."

"The reason why the Gotei 13 was invincible in the war a thousand years ago was because they were ruthless enough, like a tireless fighting machine!"

"The current 'Gotei 13' is nothing more than a flower blooming in a greenhouse, beautiful and sunny, but utterly vulnerable! They are no match for our Guinean Empire."

Yhwach burst into laughter at that moment, a hint of mockery appearing in his sinister eyes. He couldn't have been more delighted to hear Death begin to falter!

"Sasakibe Chojiro, Hyosube Ichibei, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, and Araki! Everything you four did to me a thousand years ago, I will repay you in full..."

Yhwach gritted his teeth and uttered four names in his mind.

The four people were ranked in order of their level of hatred.

Among them, the Sparrow Clan firmly holds the top spot on the hate list! Although the Hyosu-bu, Genryusai, and Araki have all plotted against him to varying degrees, at least they plotted against him openly and honestly...

You, Chojiro Sasaki, are the most treacherous and cunning of all. You actually chose to betray him during his duel with Genryusai! You have no class whatsoever; you must die!

Yhwach has held this grudge for almost a thousand years, a thousand years!

It's never too late for Yuha to take revenge...

"Hasward, is there anything else you want to report to me?"

Yhwach gently touched his chest, the spot where the Sparrows had pierced him years ago. After a moment of reminiscing, he turned to Haswald and asked him a question.

"Your Majesty Yhwach, there is one more thing I need to report to you!"

"Although the Grim Reapers are not as powerful as before, the disciples Araki has trained are still worth your attention..."

"They are Aizen Sousuke, the captain of the 5th Division, and Kenpachi Zaraki, the captain of the 11th Division! These two are very powerful."

Haschwalth looked at Yhwach, who was sitting on the throne, and spoke softly.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Yuha's expression became more curious.

"Let me see just how much skill that Araki guy's apprentice really has..."

Yhwach muttered to himself, his gaze seemingly fixed on the distant 'Seireitei'.

After a long pause, Yhwach suddenly chuckled softly: "Heh, nothing special!"

Despite Yhwach's furrowed brows, he still gave Aizen and Zaraki only mediocre assessments...

Meanwhile, in the 'First Squad' barracks.

Araki has three tablets: one for monitoring Aizen, one for monitoring Ichigo Kurosaki, and the last one is naturally for monitoring Yhwach.

After Yhwach successfully used Athena and seized the power within Masaki Kurosaki, a portion of the power Araki left within Masaki, along with the portion seized by Yhwach, entered Yhwach's body, successfully connecting Araki to the network of the Wandenreich.

"Keep pretending! Who can outdo you, Yhwach?"

"I'm a little curious now. Once you learn that your destiny was to liberate the 'Spirit King,' act as the 'Spirit King,' and ultimately become the 'Spirit King,' will you still be able to show that dashing smile you have now?"

Araki sat in the captain's room of the 'First Division', looking at Yhwach's commanding presence on the tablet, as if nothing in the world could escape his eyes, and couldn't help but smile.

Breaking Aizen's defenses is not the ultimate goal...

Araki's ultimate goal was to break Yhwach's defenses.

Even if a certain Spirit King who created the 'Three Realms' is not well-behaved, Araki wouldn't mind letting the Spirit King break through his defenses as well.

What goes around comes around; no one escapes the wrath of Heaven! Everyone, please don't be impatient or agitated! Everyone will eventually break down eventually.

'The present world'.

At Urahara Store.

"Has Yhwach, the King of the Quincy, awakened?"

Kisuke Urahara pressed down on his green fisherman's hat, muttering to himself.

Because Kisuke Urahara had been close to the Quincy, Uryuden Ishida, over the years, he had also learned about the Quincy and the legendary Holy Emperor Hymn...

According to the knowledge learned in the history class at the 'Spiritual Arts Academy', it seems that nearly a thousand years have indeed passed since the war between Yhwach and Death.

"When it rains, it pours!"

"The enemy within the Shinigami has not yet been found, but the enemy outside the Shinigami has been revived and is preparing for the next invasion of the Soul Society..."

"So, Captain-Commander Araki, are you prepared to face all the powerful enemies? Or is it that even you, Captain-Commander Araki, are not certain of victory in this fateful battle that has been separated by a thousand years?!"

Kisuke Urahara looked at the light rain outside and muttered to himself.
