One Piece: Kaido's adopted son, starts with the Eight Gates Formation.

"..."

Yhwach remained silent for five seconds.

In those five seconds, he made a decision.

You can't use omniscience and omnipotence to deal with this child. Because the premise of omniscience and omnipotence is "being able to see the other person's future," but the other person's future is a blank slate.

Let's use the most primitive method then.

"The Sternritter." Yhwach's voice resounded throughout the space, carrying an unyielding authority.

"exist!"

Dozens of white-clad knights behind him knelt down on one knee at the same time.

"All troops, attack! Target—that child!"

He paused, then added:

"Alive."

He wanted to see for himself whether this being, who had rendered omniscient and omnipotent ineffective, could still maintain that leisurely attitude after being stripped of all means of escape.

Dozens of Sternritter simultaneously unleashed their spiritual pressure, transforming into white streaks of light that rushed toward Lynn from all directions.

Bazzby Z, codenamed "H", opened his mouth wide and spewed out "Scorching Finger" flames with a temperature comparable to the sun.

The codenamed "E" Bambieta unleashed a "burst" of light powerful enough to break down all matter into the most basic spiritual particles.

BG9, codenamed "K", unleashed a full barrage of weapons, with hundreds of high-concentration spirit particle missiles creating a saturation attack.

Furthermore, Jude, codenamed "M," unleashes a "miracle" that significantly increases the probability of all events detrimental to Lynn occurring.

Dozens of abilities were activated simultaneously, and the entire space of the Spirit King Palace was filled with an energy storm, forcing even the five members of the Zero Division to retreat and take cover.

Hyosube Ichibei shielded Hikifune Kiryu, using a lollipop—yes, that was all he had left—to barely create a protective barrier.

"That child..." Kiryu looked through the gaps in the energy storm.

The center of the energy storm.

Lynn was still sitting there cross-legged.

The flames extinguished themselves about 30 centimeters in front of him.

The burst of light curved into an arc around him, bypassed him, and continued flying backward.

The spirit missiles turned into colorful confetti the moment they approached him, scattering in the air.

The "miracle" was even more comical—Jude tried to make the ground beneath Lynn's feet "suddenly disappear," but instead of disappearing, the ground became even more solid. Jude then tried to make Lynn's clothes "suddenly catch fire," but instead, Jude's own white military uniform caught fire.

"What the hell?!" Jude screamed as he pounded on the fire.

Lynn glanced at the colorful confetti flying everywhere and pouted, "Are you setting off fireworks? Or are you welcoming me?"

Yhwach stood at a distance, watching this scene, his expression shifting from solemn to something deeper.

It's not fear.

It is the bewilderment that comes after one's understanding has been overturned.

For the first time, he encountered a being he could not comprehend at all.

The Sternritter's first attack was ineffective.

Yhwach wasn't surprised. If a few knights could easily defeat someone like that, then omniscience and omnipotence wouldn't have failed.

The first round was just a trial.

"Haswald," Yhwach whispered.

Haschwalth emerged from the shadows, wielding a jet-black longsword identical in style to Yhwach's. As Yhwach's "other half," he possessed a nighttime version of omniscience and omnipotence.

"His Majesty."

"What did you see?"

Hasward closed his eyes, then opened them again. His expression remained the same: blank.

"There's nothing there. Like His Majesty, that child's future is a complete blank. But—"

"But what?"

"Those people behind him aren't," Haschward said, pointing towards the distant Seireitei. "Those pirates, Shinigami, and two Saiyans below—I can see their future."

A glint of light flashed in Yhwach's eyes.

He understood what Hasward meant.

If you can't defeat the main body, then attack his body.

This is another of Yhwach's strengths—he was never one to simply confront things head-on. On the contrary, he was a shrewd and calculating emperor who used every means to achieve his goals.

"Give the order," Yhwach decided. "The first echelon will continue to hold the line. The main force of the Knights—rush into the Soul Society and take control of everyone below."
