earlier.

When the Dangai where Yhwach was hiding was attacked by the Shinigami, he neutralized those attacks and then launched a general attack on Soul Society.

Haschwalth was not with Yhwach.

In other words, even if he appeared, it was only for a brief moment at the beginning.

Afterwards, he did not join the rest of the Stern Cross Quincy in the war.

Even Yhwach, the founder of the Quincy, took action personally.

Hasward had more important things to do than join the war.

He left Soul Society and headed to Karakura Town.

Karakura Town is a small city, but in this world, it is an extraordinary place.

In addition to being the place where Ichigo Kurosaki was born and the main place where Ichigo and others were active in the real world in the original work, it is also an extremely special spiritual place.

The Chongling Land is a special piece of land that was born from the underground spiritual veins. Because of the spiritual veins, the probability of children born in this land possessing spiritual power is much higher than that of children born in other places. Such a pure soul with spiritual power is naturally easy to attract the covetousness of the Void, so the probability of Chongling Land being attacked by the Void is also higher than that of other places.

In Soul Society, the Jureichi is a place where the Shinigami are stationed for a long time.

But the real function of spiritual veins is more than that.

It is the result of part of the Spirit King's land falling into the world.

Its essence is the power of the Spirit King. Because it is integrated into the earth veins of the present world and is closely related to the world itself, it is an extremely special existence compared to the other fragments of the Spirit King.

And this kind of power can be used to accomplish another thing.

That is... the Creation King Key!
The Soul King Palace is located in the sky above Soul Society, but one cannot reach it by simply flying upwards.

Between the two, there are seventy-two layers of barriers. They are like a broken boundary, supporting the space where the Palace of the Spirit King is located. It is impossible to enter the Palace of the Spirit King by ordinary means. Only by using the power that has the same origin as the Palace of the Spirit King can one enter it.

And that power is none other than the "King Key".

After entering the Soul King Palace, all members of Squad Zero will be baptized by the power of the Soul King and reshape their bodies. Their reshaped bodies and bones are the King Keys.

Generally speaking, in order to enter the Soul King Palace, either the members of Squad Zero would take the initiative to open a gap in the seventy-two layers of barriers in the Soul King Palace, or they would go down to the mortal world in person and use the power of the King's Key to bring outsiders into the Soul King Palace.

So, besides these methods, are there any other ways to enter the Palace of the Spirit King?

Of course there is.

That is to create the King Key privately.

With the help of the veins in the heavy spiritual land and enough souls as sacrifices to reshape his own body and bones, so that he can also obtain the power of the King's Key. In this way, he can directly bypass the existence of the Zero Squad and force his way into the Soul King Palace.

Aizen's original goal was to create the King Key, to hold the Soul King accountable, and to replace him.

For this reason, after the initial battle in Hueco Mundo, he went directly to Karakura Town.

But in the end, he was defeated before he could succeed and was exiled to hell.

Although with Aizen's strength, he could dominate the hell and become the undisputed overlord, but his original purpose ended in failure.

This time, when Yhwach invaded Soul Society, many Shinigami only thought about the grudges between Shinigami and Quincy, and believed that Yhwach's goal was to destroy all Shinigami. However, they overlooked that this was just a side issue, and Yhwach's real goal was for the Soul King.

In the original work, he took advantage of Ichigo Kurosaki's return from the Soul King Palace and the gap in the seventy-two barriers that could not be closed in a short time, so he led the Stern Cross Knights into the Soul King Palace, and finally defeated the members of Squad Zero and devoured the Soul King.

But now is different.

Because Natsuki had taken Ichigo to the Soul King Palace a long time ago and helped Ichigo complete his training ahead of time, so after this war broke out, it was naturally impossible for Ichigo to go to the Soul King Palace again.

Since Yhwach lost this opportunity, he naturally had to find another way to get to the Soul King Palace.

He can predict the future with his omniscience.

Finally, the conclusion was drawn.

The spiritual vein of Karakura Town is his only chance to reach the Soul King Palace.

Following Yhwach's will, Haschwalth quietly went to Karakura Town after the war began.

However, he did not take action immediately after arriving in Karakura Town.

Because there were a few troublesome guys in Karakura Town at that time.

Ichigo Kurosaki and his men are still in Karakura Town.

If you rashly attack the spiritual vein and attract the attention of Kurosaki Ichigo, you will get yourself into trouble. It will not be so easy to obtain the spiritual vein.

So, he has been waiting in secret.

After Ichigo Kurosaki and others learned that the Soul Society War had broken out and hurried to Soul Society, he chose to take action and draw the spiritual veins in Karakura Town.

The Quincy possesses the ability to manipulate spirit particles, and Haschwalth also possesses the power to harmonize the world. For him, extracting the spiritual veins from the ground of Karakura Town is a very easy task.

If Aizen's original method was followed and he wanted to create the King Key, in addition to the spiritual vein under Karakura Town, he would also need to sacrifice the entire city, at least 100,000 souls.

But Hasward did not do so.

Compared to the God of Death, one needs to integrate the power of the Soul King into the body, reshape the body, and integrate this power into oneself before one can master it.

The Quincy doesn't need to fuse them at all. They can manipulate the extracted power with their own unique abilities.

Naturally, because there is no need to integrate it into the body, nor is there any need to sacrifice a hundred thousand souls.

From this point of view, although Karakura Town lost its underground spiritual vein, the city was not destroyed, which is a good thing.

The many death gods naturally did not know what Haschwalth had done.

At this moment, sensing the captain's weakening breath, many captains tried to come to the captain's side.

At the same time, be wary of Yhwach who appeared in the sky for some reason, to prevent him from attacking the captain-general.

Yhwach was originally planning to take action to eliminate Captain-General Yamamoto.

But after Hasward's arrival, he was no longer in the mood.

"Yamamoto, just watch helplessly!"

"Watch me ascend the Sky Throne, and watch the era of you Gods of Death come to an end!"

As he spoke, he took something handed to him by Hasward.

It was a ball of azure blue light. Through the ball of light, one could see that inside it, there was an object emitting colorful light.

Although the distance was a bit far, just by looking at that thing, everyone felt an incomparable power, it was heavy and vast.

"What on earth is that?"

Some people stared and speculated.

Someone tried to take action and released the Kidō Gun, attacking Yhwach who was high in the sky.

But these attacks were annihilated before they could get close to Yhwach.

Yhwach holds the spiritual vein beneath Karakura Town.

He harnessed this power.

The next moment, the ball of light exploded, and a shock wave emerged from his hand, like a divine rainbow, heading towards the highest point in the sky.

Light travels extremely fast.

In an instant, it touched the first layer of the barrier. Then, the first layer of the barrier did not last long before it was shattered by this magnificent force.

Then, this force continued to move towards the second barrier.

Boom boom boom! !
Although they were extremely far apart, the terrifying roar was heard throughout the Soul Society and by many Death Gods.

While fighting with the Quincy, everyone couldn't help but look up at the sky.

"Sky, what happened?"

"What does that guy want to do?"

There are many secrets in this world.

There are some secrets that only the captain-level Death God knows. Even if you become a captain, you may not know all the secrets.

For ordinary Shinigami, they only know that there is a soul-blocking membrane above the Soul Society. The soul-blocking membrane protects the Soul Society and prevents all hollows and outsiders from breaking in.

If someone uses some special means to break into the Soul Society, it can be defined as a "traveling disaster".

However, this is not the case now. With the Quincy's invasion of Soul Society, the soul-blocking membrane that originally covered the sky above Seireitei has been shattered.

Unexpectedly, the leader of the Quincy launched another attack towards the sky.

And there was such a huge roar coming from the sky.

What is hiding in the sky above Seireitei?
"you!"

In the ruins, Captain Yamamoto looked weak.

He also heard the noise coming from the sky, and his expression changed drastically.

The secrets that even ordinary captain-level Death Gods don’t know have never been a secret to him.

He knew very well what was hiding in the sky.

The Palace of the Spirit King is right in the sky.

At this moment, a roar was heard.

Apparently the barrier leading to the Soul King's Palace was damaged.

He didn't expect that Youhabach actually had such means.

In a short period of time, all seventy-two layers of barriers were penetrated.

Amid the horrified expressions of many Death Gods, a light similar to the anti-membrane light used by the Hollow fell from the sky, covering Yhwach and Haschwalth beside him.

In the light, Yhwach swung the black Quincy Cross in his hand again.

Suddenly, several more rays of light separated from the light column and fell on some Quincies who were fighting against the Grim Reaper. Their figures were immediately transferred and appeared in the light column covering Yhwach's body.

"Goodbye, fellow Shinigami of the Gotei 13!"

A deep voice came from Youhabach's mouth, and then the beam of light quickly shrank towards the sky.

The war evolved in a way that no one had expected.

Yhwach stayed in the Soul Society with some of the Quincies.

Another part of the Quincies stayed in the Soul Society and continued to fight against the Shinigami.

Of course, the war did not end there.

It’s just that the battlefield of this war was divided into two parts.

One part is the Soul Society where everyone is currently located.

The other part is above the sky - the Palace of the Spirit King!

The Palace of the Spirit King was originally an extremely mysterious place. It was where the Spirit King resided and it was the center of the world. Because the Spirit King was the wedge between the three realms and was extremely important, normally no one could reach here.

The members of the Zero Squad are closely related to the Soul King. They established five major Zero Squad palaces to guard the five directions in order to protect the Soul King.

Of course, this kind of protection is more symbolic.

Because under normal circumstances, outsiders cannot come to the Spirit King Palace.

But that is not the case today.

As Yhwach used the spiritual veins under Karakura Town, he broke through the seventy-two barriers with this immense power. Then, he used his own powerful means to transfer himself and some Quincies.

In an instant, they arrived at the space where the Spirit King Palace was located.

It was also when Youhabach and the others arrived at the space where the Soul King Palace was located.

The several members of Squad Zero who were among them all looked solemn.

When Yhwach attacked the Soul Society and the war broke out, they knew about it in the Soul King Palace, but did not interfere.

Because Squad Zero’s duty is to protect the Soul King.

As long as nothing happens in the three realms and the Spirit King is safe, everything else has nothing to do with them.

Even if all the Shinigami of the Gotei 13 in the lower world were killed or injured and destroyed.

They only obey the will of the Spirit King.

Unless the Soul King orders them to descend to the world, they will go to Soul Society to help the Gotei 13.

But obviously, at this stage, the Soul King did not show such a will.

Naturally, they will not act rashly.

Even though some of them really care about the casualties of the Gotei 13.

"It's coming quickly!"

Standing in a square of the Soul King Palace, Yhwach walked forward with his subordinates.

At this moment, a figure wearing a white haori with his arms hidden in a wide robe appeared in front of them, blocking their way.

“Yhwach, leave the Soul King Palace. A filthy person like you is not worthy to be here.” Shutra Senjumaru said in a cold voice with a serious expression.

She is a person with severe mysophobia. Even though she is a tailor, sometimes she would rather use mechanical arms to make clothes than let her real hands touch those dirty things.

This is why she usually hides her arms in her robe.

On that day, Xia Mu was disgusted and disliked because there was the breath of hell in his soul.

But Xia Mu is a god of death after all. Even if she doesn't like him, she still accepts his existence.

Yeah, it's different with Yeah.

This is the Quincy, the foulest, most filthy being in the entire world, with a vile nature and cruel methods.

Nothing good will happen to the other party if he comes to the Spirit King Palace.

For Shutra Senjumaru, it is absolutely impossible to accept the existence of the other party.

"The Spirit King is my father. You imprisoned my father. Now, I, as his son, have come here. Do you still want to expel me?"

"Death God, aren't you too overbearing?" (End of this chapter)
