You are very strong, but my painting style is better than yours!

Ordinary Shinigami might not need it, but people like Yamamoto, Unohana, and Shunsui have basically reached their limits. If they can break through their limits by using Hollowfication, their strength will definitely increase significantly!

—When we go to conquer the Unseen Empire in the future, Iori can take it easy and relax.

After all, we can't do everything ourselves; we need to motivate these people!

First the Wandenreich and Yhwach, then the Soul King Palace and the Great Monk... Let's start with the Gotei 13 and transform this world to Iori's satisfaction!

He didn't care about the so-called "Forty-Six Chambers." No matter how those elders and politicians proclaimed that "the laws of our ancestors cannot be changed," the evolutionary paths of Shinigami and Hollows would be laid bare before everyone.

Once the United States acquired nuclear weapons, the Soviet Union also needed to have them in order to maintain a balance.

Correspondingly, when "Arrancar" are prevalent in Hueco Mundo, Soul Society must also have its own "Visor" technology.

No matter how much they objected, once Iori "accidentally" discovered the Quincy King in the shadows, everything was out of their control!

When Iori becomes the ruler of Hueco Mundo, the Captain-Commander protecting Seireitei, and commands dozens of Vasto Lorde-class Arrancar and Bankai-class Visoreds, how far will Iori's strength evolve under the enhancement of [Single-mindedly yearning for Reverse] and [Arm of the Great]?

—The feeling of holding the whole world in your hands is truly irresistible!

……

[Hasward, my son...]

"!"

In the darkness, the blond, handsome man suddenly opened his eyes, his expression filled with shock.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty Yhwach... Is that you?"

Although it was just a murmur in his dream, Haschwald had a strange intuition that it was Yhwach himself who was calling him!

Thinking of this, he immediately got up and went to the royal hall where the coffin was placed.

The same familiar throne, the same familiar coffin... nothing had changed, and Yhwach had not yet awakened.

"Could it just be my imagination?" the blond-haired beauty pondered.

He climbed the steps one by one until he reached the throne. He originally wanted to touch the coffin to check the situation inside, but he suddenly opened his eyes as soon as he closed them, looking as if he had been frightened.

"This, this is..."

His own heartbeat? No, it wasn't that specific, but rather a vibration that felt very familiar to Haschward.

It's language!

Although it was very faint and mixed with the sound of a heartbeat, it was undoubtedly His Majesty Yhwach's voice!

"A hallucination? No, that's impossible! It's Your Majesty, you must have woken up by now!"

It's highly unlikely that a powerhouse of Hasward's level would experience auditory or visual hallucinations, especially since it was a tremor originating from the depths of his soul. Even an illusion attack couldn't possibly cause Hasward to have a similar sensation.

But this is unbelievable... I thought it would take at least ten or a hundred years... Did he regain consciousness so quickly?

"Your Majesty, could it be that you really... um!"

The blond youth took a deep breath, his soul excited by a long-lost calling, but his reason forced him to calm down.

First of all, we cannot conclude that Yhwach has fully awakened based on this feeling.

The Quincy King may appear human, but he is actually a different life form. For Yhwach, the concepts of sleep and awakening are different from those of ordinary people.

He may be able to clearly convey his meaning and communicate normally with people, but that doesn't mean he has woken up from the dream.

Only when the body and will are completely synchronized, and the great power that shakes the three realms is regained, can Yhwach be considered truly resurrected!

Moreover, even if they were to make contact with Yhwach now, it probably wouldn't change the current situation; the Wandenreich's attempt to launch a counterattack against Soul Society would still be impossible.

Despite their claim of hiding in the shadows of Seireitei, they are actually just a bunch of rats struggling to survive in the cracks. Once they are discovered by the Gotei 13, especially by Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, the Shinigami will surely concentrate all their forces and spare no effort to eliminate them!

For Quincy nowadays, one wrong step could lead to utter ruin!

The Quincy's only hope is, as prophesied, to wait for Yhwach to reclaim his power and lead them to "take back the world" once again!

Hasward felt a surge of tension.

Whether Yhwach wakes up or remains asleep is not really a problem. The real concern is that his consciousness might be in a state of confusion, issuing orders haphazardly. Although he used to be a calm and wise monarch, who knows if his personality will undergo a huge change after sleeping for nearly a thousand years.

If he himself is still weakened, yet he is already eager to launch a counterattack against Soul Society...

Even so, Haschwald would obey, but the Quincy clan would suffer greatly!

With a heart full of trepidation, Haschward, his face impassive, carefully opened the coffin—

The pupils suddenly contracted!

Disappeared!

Yhwach's body is still there, but the strange baby that had previously parasitized it has disappeared!

[Hasward...]

"His Majesty?!"

The blond man suddenly looked up, and then realized that the voice calling him was not coming from the coffin. After sensing for a moment, he stood up incredulously and looked outside the royal hall.

"Could it be that……"

The Flying Kick was incredibly fast, flashing around almost instantaneously. Hasward quickly followed his intuition and arrived at the opponent's location.

Looking at that person's figure from afar, even though it was just a silhouette, the "connection" that could inspire genuine admiration was unmistakable.

The person before us, regardless of how he appears, is without a doubt Yhwach!

"Your Majesty, welcome back."

The blond youth threw off his cloak, knelt on one knee, placed one hand on his chest and the other on his fist, and spoke with utmost respect to the figure behind him.

"Your subject, Yugran Hasward, has been waiting here for quite some time."

"Have you come to greet me, Haschward?"

It was a relatively young voice, and the tone was slightly different from Yhwach's, seemingly with a hint of teasing and playfulness...

"Ok?"

The blond youth looked up, and the other person turned around, revealing a face that was both very familiar to Hasward and somewhat unfamiliar.

His eyes widened, filled with confusion and shock: "Why... Your Majesty, your face?"

"Yes, you have never seen what I looked like when I was young."

The black-haired, red-eyed boy smiled slightly. Although he was not as tall and strong as Haschward, the way he looked at the blond handsome man was like a father looking at his son with loving eyes.

This is Yhwach... but unlike a thousand years ago, he now looks only fifteen or sixteen years old. His slightly immature appearance is still very handsome, no less than that of the prince-like Has.

"Don't be surprised. No matter how your bodies change, my soul will always be with you."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Hasward nodded in agreement, but a thousand thoughts raced through his mind.

That hand... was it really the Spirit King's arm that caused all of this?

Did they use the Spirit King's hand to create a new body and transfer their consciousness to it?

But what's the point of doing this?

“You seem to have some doubts, Haschward.”

Yhwach smiled and said, "Are you uneasy because things are different from what was predicted?"

His voice was much gentler than when he was an adult, and his expression was much calmer, giving him an ethereal quality that transcended worldly affairs.

The image of young Yhwach, compared to his later bearded manhood, is probably more in line with the common people's imagination of "god" and "king".

"I feel a little uneasy, but I believe His Majesty would not have woken up prematurely for no reason. With your extraordinary wisdom, there must be a reason why he had to do so."

“You are as excellent as ever. Yes, I do have something to do... For the past eight hundred years, I have been having a recurring nightmare—in a world without any hope, with no way to go back or forward.”

However, the situation has changed now. Among thousands, tens of thousands of possibilities, a special existence has finally emerged that allows me to break free from my constraints.

—Therefore, I was born into this world prematurely, thanks to the power of my pitiful father.

Yhwach stroked Haschward's head, and a blue spiritual light shone in his palm. Spiritual patterns, like integrated circuits, spread across Haschward's face.

"No need to worry, no need to think, no need to be afraid, just follow me as always!"

"Yes!"

He was granted new power… As the spiritual energy flowed through his veins, familiar sensations returned to his body, and the “holy script” engraved in his soul glowed softly. Hasward had no more doubts!

"Your Majesty, should we inform others of your awakening?"

"Not for now. I need to get used to this body. Although I have been watching all the changes over the past hundred years, I can't accumulate the corresponding experience if I don't experience it myself."

Yhwach raised his hand, slowly turned around, looked up at the illusory sky of the [Invisible Empire], and a faint, mocking smile appeared on his lips.

It was undeniably tragic for him to have fallen to such a state, but far from being saddened, he was even more spirited, displaying a vigorous and enterprising attitude.

Because in his view, he had finally found what he had been missing all along!

Yhwach possesses eyes that can see through everything, the only one he cannot see through is the Soul King, and it was precisely because of this that he was tricked by Hyosube last time and lost to Yamamoto.

But this time in his dream, he saw a very special being, whose existence was elusive and impossible to observe, and whose "future" was beyond comprehension...

Even the results observed in the "past" were completely "forgotten" by Yhwach, who couldn't recall them at all.

Yhwach did not believe it was a coincidence; his encounter with the other person was destined to have a huge impact on the world!

This person's existence, or rather, his power... might just be the key to breaking free from constraints and reversing fate!

Chapter 435 I'm such a good younger brother!

The left hand of the Soul King, which governs "advancement," is the essence of that strange infant and the power that now constitutes Yhwach's body.

It took less than a month for him to grow from an infant to a teenager, and he perfectly matched Yhwach's consciousness, as if he had been reincarnated.

However, the original body is still asleep, but before it fully awakens, it has another body... This should perhaps be called an "avatar".

Compared to his true form, the power of the Soul King's left hand is naturally weaker, or rather, Yhwach cannot "digest" it and can only use it in a limited way. But that's enough, after all, he never thought he could conquer the three realms with just his left hand; there are still many things to prepare before that.

Clang!

The bell standing atop the central high ground of the invisible empire was rung.

This is a signal that all officers must arrive at the Royal Hall on time for the meeting, which is the summons of the Sternritter. Theoretically, Hasward does have this authority, but he rarely does so, since there aren't that many urgent matters in this invisible empire.

"What is Hasward doing?"

Some grumbled and cursed, but dared not delay. They immediately donned their knightly uniforms, donned the badges corresponding to their ranks, and hurried to the most magnificent palace in the city center.

Royal Hall!

All knights and officers of all ranks who met the requirements for being summoned arrived on time, totaling about thirty people, who are currently the backbone of the Quincy clan.

Frankly, these people are quite capable, but neither their numbers nor their quality can compare to the elite forces Yhwach previously assembled. The main problem is the scarcity of high-end combat power; since Yhwach's "death," no new Holy Scripts have been created for a long time.

Considering the Quincy's current predicament, the fact that they could muster so many fighters, at least equivalent to vice-captains of the Gotei 13, is quite impressive. They also have four or five captains. While they may not be on par with the Seireitei, they are certainly not to be underestimated.

"Do you know why Haschward summoned us this time?"

Generally speaking, a meeting only needs to call a few people, so why make such a big fuss and use special signals to call so many people over?

Hassward isn't trying to count the number of people, is he?

"Who knows... but he has to give us an explanation."

After a moment, the doors of the royal hall slowly opened, and the crowd began to enter the spacious hall one after another. However, they were stunned as soon as they entered.

A straight path to the audience, towering white steps, a throne at the top, and Hasward standing beside the throne.

This was a scene they had seen at every meeting over the past few centuries, a sight they were quite accustomed to, but now it captivated them, causing their pupils to shrink to a single dot, clearly a sign of utter shock.

"What...he..."

"How is this going?"

"Someone is actually...sitting on the throne?!"

"Who is that? Who was put on the throne by Haschward?!"

The crowd was puzzled and angry, but after seeing the man's appearance clearly, they were plunged into deep confusion:

This face... Could it be... No way?

"Your Majesty, you are finally back."
