From the Wandenreich's escape to One Piece

Simply put, Haschward can reflect damage from the opponent's attacks, while the damage he receives will be transferred to the Scapegoat and then reflected back.

This means that when an enemy attacks Haschward, Haschward doesn't have to take the damage, but the enemy does.

Furthermore, when Hasward's attacks landed on his opponent, the opponent simply couldn't withstand them.

To put it simply, it's like beating up anyone's grandson.

The Five Elders managed to reach the outskirts of the palace, which was a kind of "luck".

First, the Sternritter did not deploy their entire force, and their Royal Guard remained on standby.

Secondly, Yhwach happened to be asleep, so they didn't have to face the most terrifying Quincy Emperor.

Because of this good fortune, they were able to come before Hasward.

Haschward turned this good fortune into misfortune, which is why he was able to kill two of the Five Elders with a single strike, including the incredibly powerful and terrifyingly defensive Saint Vochuli!

It even... slowed down their regeneration.

Originally, it was supposed to end here...

The outcome is already decided.

Even if the Five Elders continue to struggle, it would be considered 'lucky' that they were saved, and the luckier they are, the more misfortune Haschward can bring upon them.

Haschward's offensive will only become more and more intense, and the Five Elders' regenerative abilities will eventually reach their limit.

Even if they don't reach their limit, their recovery speed will slow down. Once they are completely unable to resist, they can easily bind and restrain the Five Elders.

But something unexpected happened to Hasward.

In that very instant...

All the monsters, all the enemies...

They've all disappeared?!

Haschward's pupils dilated involuntarily. His spiritual pressure perception instantly spread throughout the entire Unseen Empire, but he could no longer sense that strange spiritual pressure?!

Meanwhile, those fighting monsters in other directions were also stunned when their opponents suddenly disappeared.

This is……

What are you doing?

How could it suddenly disappear?

"What on earth is going on?!"

While dodging Satan's attacks, Bambi, who was also creating spirit bombs to bombard downwards, was enraged upon seeing this!

She was in a terrible state, and before she could even vent her anger, the enemy had just vanished!

This battle was so frustrating!

The enemy is immortal throughout the entire process, so their attacks have almost no effect on them!

That's so unfair!

"Suddenly...disappeared?"

Litoto and the others were also greatly astonished to see the five enormous figures disappear into the invisible empire.

Jadis looked around and exclaimed in amazement, "They've really all disappeared! Without any warning, they just vanished suddenly!"

boom!

Bazzby, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Horsebone, unleashed a massive flaming blade, about to engulf the centaur elder. But as the flames swept past, several surrounding houses were completely destroyed, yet Horsebone was nowhere to be seen!

"call……"

Bazzby exhaled a breath of hot air and looked around with some confusion.

Unlike the other puzzled Quincy, Beltz, who was in Ritoto's room at the moment, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This is so damn tiring.

I have been saving up for a long time, but it is still too difficult to supply so many people, including the Five Elders and the Knights of God.

From his position, he couldn't see the battle's progress; he could only sense the intensity of the war from the clash of spiritual pressures.

Haschwald and his Royal Guard did not deploy due to concerns that assassins might attempt to kill Yhwach. Furthermore, with the strongest member of the regular Sternritter, Gremy Thormu, imprisoned, many members of the regular Sternritter were also slacking off.

This led to the World Government's initial rampage, seemingly unstoppable.

That's just the problem with the Sternritter.

They are disunited, rash and arrogant, unwilling to accept help from others, and unwilling to help others.

Otherwise, the battle on the World Government's side would have been more intense.

But in any case, he finally achieved his goal.

Several Sternritter knights were left unserved.

Especially the Lloyd brothers, who posed the greatest threat to him, were directly killed by Litoto!

This is the most important thing.

Whether or not you can become a Star Cross isn't the most important thing; the most important thing is to take down those two imitation brothers.

They pose a tremendous threat to Beltz.

Next, we'll see if the vacant Star Cross Knights are of our own Holy Script type.

If a Sternritter position becomes vacant, Yhwach will definitely have to select a few more Quincy to fill it.

But it doesn't necessarily mean it depends on ability.

It also depends on whether your sacred texts are missing a few of those characters.

For example, if the holy letter of the dead Sternritter was YUI, while Beltz's holy letter started with D, then Yhwach would not have chosen you to become a Sternritter.

Belz couldn't see what his own soul abilities were; only Yhwach could see through them directly.

So how should that sentence be said again?

If I gain it, I am fortunate; if I lose it, it is my fate.

Even without the sacred text, he would only feel a little regretful.

Standing above, Beltz saw that Litoto was already on her way back.

When she returned, Beltz opened the door to greet her:

"Lady Litoto, you're back?"

Litoto slumped onto the sofa, looking utterly exhausted, and said, "I'm never doing this again. It's so tiring!"

"This should be... this time too," Beltz said somewhat uncertainly.

Are you hungry now? Shall I cook something?

"Never mind, Hasward's probably going to have a meeting later, let's go together then."

"Meeting..."

"Oh, you probably don't know," Litoto said casually, "I reckon someone will be executed."

"?" Beltz paused for a moment, then thought of the unfortunate brothers, Sou and Bi-Je-Nine, who were executed during the Thousand-Year Blood War in the manga.

Because these two were at a disadvantage in their battle against Death, Yhwach, feeling ashamed of them, ordered Haschward to kill them both.

He then said in a low voice, "So, this place is very dangerous."

Having such an emperor was truly the worst thing that could happen.

Cangdu and the robot clearly still had combat capabilities, yet they were killed without warning.

With such an emperor, how could the empire not decline?

Noticing the change in Beltz's expression, Litoto couldn't help but say, "So you knew too? What? Someone was executed in the future too?"

"Yes, it's Cangdu and Bi Jie Nain." Beltz nodded in acknowledgment.
