"How foolish! Do you think you can take away my left half of my body with just this little trick?"

A powerful force gushed out from the left hand of Hyoshubu Ichibei, and in an instant, it knocked Yhwach, who was close to him, away. At the same time, it also blocked the outer shell of the Static Blood Suit that spread from Yhwach's body.

"!!!"

There was a look of surprise in Yhwach's eyes.

Hyoshubu Ichibei distanced himself from Yhwach, his voice filled with anger, "Not only did you break into the Soul King's Palace, you also broke into the bodies of the Soul King's followers, Squad Zero. Even if you don't understand human customs, there must be a limit."

"You will be punished by God!"

As he spoke, Hyoshubu Ichibei raised the enormous brush in his hand.

"Dye it black - Ichimonji!"

After the words of liberation were spoken, the tip of the brush in Hyoshubu Ichibei's hand disappeared, and was replaced by a sharp dagger. Under the sunlight, the knife looked extremely sharp.

"Has the pen transformed into a blade?"

Yhwach steadied himself and looked at the brush-like sword held by Hyoshubu Ichibei, thinking to himself, "It's a very heavy sword, but I can't feel anything like spiritual pressure at all."

Hyoshubu Ichibei raised the sword in his hand.

Yhwach was startled.

"?!"

"What happened just now?"

He felt a little confused.

Seeing his confusion, Hyoshubu Ichibei grinned and said, "What's wrong? Is it a pen or a knife? Can't you tell it apart?"

He leaped forward and slashed towards Youhabach with the brush-like knife in his hand.

As Hyoshubu Ichibei swung his sword, the black ink poured out towards Yhwach indiscriminately.

Yhwach raised the Quincy Cross in his hand and blocked the attack of Hyoshubu Ichibei.

"What's up with this knife?"

"You're just throwing ink everywhere... don't you have any intention of killing me?"

"Is it still the same as before, a knife that cuts the name in half?"

Many questions came out of Yhwach's mouth, and he asked Hyoshubu Ichibei, "You should know that the name and power that were cut in half can be easily restored by my own strength. You can't defeat me with your sword."

"You will be my..."

Just as Youhabach was about to say something harsh, the words stopped abruptly at his lips.

"Hmm? What?" Hyoshubu Ichibei pretended to listen attentively.

Yhwach sensed something was wrong and asked in a serious tone, "The name of that sword is..."

"What are you talking about?" Hyoshubu Ichibei continued to ask Youhabach, looking at Youhabach's serious expression, he said: "You still don't understand!"

"No, you know what?"

"That sword no longer has a name. It was defeated by Ichimonji and lost its name."

"Losing my name means losing my power. Do you think you can kill me with a nameless sword or a nameless cross?"

He cast an aggressive gaze upon Yhwach.

Yhwach finally understood the power of the sword in Hyoshubu Ichibei's hand.

A thousand years ago, before the war with the Gotei 13, he actually had some contact with the Zero Squad, including a conversation with Hyoshubu Ichibei, but the result of that conversation was not very good. He had part of his power sealed by Hyoshubu Ichibei using the Soul King's Left Arm, so he was defeated by Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

Of course, this is not the key point. The most important thing is that because he had never fought against Hyoshubu Ichibei head-on a thousand years ago, he did not know the true ability of Hyoshubu Ichibei.

At this moment, after witnessing the true ability of Hyoshubu Ichibei, Yhwach was very surprised.

But it was just a surprise.

He was confident that he could defeat Hyoshubu Ichibei.

"In that case, let me take away your power."

Yhwach said so.

He looked somewhat bold.

"I didn't use a nameless thing, but my own power!"

He raised his hand, and the Cross of Annihilation appeared in his hand. The spirit particles gathered together to form an extremely magnificent altar.

On the altar, you can see multiple quenching crosses.

"Usurp the altar!"

Yhwach is a guy who lives for plunder.

The Soul King created this world with everything in himself.

And Yhwach, as the son of the Soul King, was born to reclaim all of this, to plunder all of this.

Under normal circumstances, he can only seize those things that are related to him, such as everything related to the Quincy, but when necessary, he can rely on the connection between the Soul King and this world, combined with his own identity as the son of the Soul King, to seize those forces in this world that he deems valuable.

The magnificent altar enveloped and swallowed Hyoshubu Ichibei. As Youhabach had expected, Hyoshubu Ichibei's powerful strength would be seized by himself. However, what happened next once again surprised him.

boom! !

The usurper of the altar exploded, but a soldier from the Hyoshubu was completely unharmed.

"!!!"

Yhwach held the star badge with a puzzled look on his face.

"The power, wasn't taken away?"

"Don't make that expression."

Hyoshubu Ichibei looked at Yhwach and said calmly, "The power has indeed been taken away, but the power that has been taken away cannot be used by you."

As he spoke, he raised his palm and told Yhwach the truth, "My power is - black!"

"Every time I release an Ichimonji, whether it's a Shinigami or a Quincy, whether it's the living or the dead, all the darkness in this world will become mine."

The sword named Ichimonji was swung out again, and rich ink gushed out. Combined with the ink that was previously spilled, all the inks surged together, wrapping up Youhabach and dyeing his body black. For a moment, Youhabach became a black man.

"Youhabach, no, I should say the former Youhabach. You must be in pain after losing your name."

Looking at Yhwach in front of him who was covered in black ink, unable to move, and turned into a black man, Hyoshubu Ichibei said this, and his tone changed, "You are so pitiful, let me... give you a new name." As he spoke, the brush-shaped knife in his hand raised again.

"What a fight - one word with a white pen!"

A white halo appeared, surrounding Hyoshubu Ichibei. The heavy blade of the sword in his hand had turned into a white object. The halo replaced the black ink and extended from the tip of the brush. Hyoshubu Ichibei continued to explain to Yhwach who was covered in ink: "In the latest term, it's called Bankai!"

"Speaking of which, long before Bankai came into being, the first thing that came into being was the evolved Zanpakutō, and this sword is such an ancient sword."

As he spoke, he waved the white pen in his hand and gave Youhabach a new name.

"Now, your name is... Black Ant!"

Two large white characters, "Black Ant", appeared on Yhwach, whose entire body was stained with black ink, replacing his original name.

"So, how do you feel, former Youhabach, now Black Ant?"

"Your power now is like a black ant crawling on the ground, fragile and illusory."

"It... ends here!" Yhwach felt weak in his body and spoke with difficulty, as if he was trapped in a desperate situation and had given up all struggle.

After hearing his words, Hyoshubu Ichibei added, "That's right, it ends here. The difference in strength between you and me is so great. Your fate also ends here. You will end up taking the lives of all the Death Gods you have killed so far!"

"Just like a black ant, get crushed to death!"

Hyoshubu Ichibei raised his foot.

Above the sky, an extremely huge foot appeared and then fell down heavily.

boom! !

The place where Youhabach was standing exploded immediately, and his body fell from mid-air, about to fall from the Soul King Palace. At this moment, Hyoshubu Ichibei clasped his hands together again, and two huge palms appeared, one on the left and one on the right, trying to slap Youhabach to death.

His fate was like that of an ant on the roadside that could be trampled on at will.

"His Majesty!"

In the distance, Hasward watched this scene with a worried and nervous look on his face.

In mid-air, Yhwach was falling slowly like a piece of tattered cloth. Black was floating on his body and a low voice came out of his mouth.

"This is the end, I mean..."

"You saw that I had my eyes closed and thought that was the end of it?"

Youhabach slowly opened his eyes, and as his eyes opened, terrifying power erupted, and the black ink that originally covered Youhabach's body began to peel off. His body also stabilized again, flew into the air, and stood on the ground in front of Hyoshubu Ichibei again.

The spirit particle transformed into a powerful attack and rushed towards Hyoshubu Ichibei.

Hyoshubu Ichibei blocked Yhwach's attacks, but he was more concerned about Yhwach himself than these attacks.

"You, why are you still alive?"

"Impossible, Ichimonji has clearly already..."

Hyoshubu Ichibei, who had been full of confidence from before, finally began to panic.

The power displayed by Youhabach at this moment seemed to have exceeded his imagination and made him unable to accept it.

In the distance, Haschwald watched Yhwach escape from the predicament and put away his nervous expression. He trusted His Majesty even more. A smug look appeared on the corners of his mouth, and he explained in a voice that only he could hear: "Your Majesty's ability is to see through everything that is about to happen. Moreover, it is impossible to defeat Your Majesty with the power Your Majesty knows."

"Your Majesty's character is 'A', and his ability is - omniscience and omnipotence!"

"Your Majesty, he usually 'closes' his eyes when fighting."

"The sealed Quincy King's heartbeat revived after nine hundred years, and it took ninety years for him to regain consciousness, and another nine years for him to regain his strength. If he opens his eyes before the nine years of recovery, His Majesty's 'A' power will get out of control, and he might kill all of us."

A strange smile appeared on Haschwalth's lips, and he talked to himself, describing the current situation of Youhabach.

"But now, Your Majesty has fully opened his eyes, which means that the nine years of Your Majesty's recovery of strength have come to an end."

"From now on, Your Majesty will display your true strength!"

As he spoke, Haschwalth suddenly raised his hands.

"We have waited for thousands of years. We have paid everything. Finally, the time of harvest has come."

"Your Majesty, let the God of Death see how powerful you are!"

The hymn has already begun.

In Haschwald's view, the age of death has finally come to an end.

The eyes that His Majesty opened were not eyes on the physical level, but eyes on the soul level. This means that His Majesty's dormant soul has fully awakened. At this time, everything in the universe no longer has any secrets for His Majesty. This is true omniscience and omnipotence.

It is also a unique and magnificent force that can control everything.

Inside the barrier, Hyoshubu Ichibei did not hear Haschwalth's mumbling, nor did he know what had happened to Yhwach.

He was guarding the edge of the barrier, and not far behind him was the Ling Wang Palace where the Ling Wang resided, which was also the main hall of the Ling Wang Palace.

If it were before, he would have boasted that he could stop and kill Youhabach.

However, at this moment, as Yhwach erupted with that terrifying power, everything was reversed.

A sense of confusion and uneasiness gradually arose in his heart.

"You ask me why I am not dead yet, why I eliminated your power, why I failed?"

"You must be curious to know!"

Yhwach stared at Hyoshubu Ichibei and cold words came out of his mouth.

"I have opened my eyes. From this moment on, until the distant future, I can see through everything and know everything that I see through."

"Moreover, all the power I know will be transformed into my companions."

"With your power, you can't even hurt me, let alone defeat me. This is my power - omniscience and omnipotence!"

As Hyoshubu Ichibei listened to Yhwach's indifferent tone, he became even angrier.

"Did I lose?"

"It seems that the name Black Ant has been erased by you, which has made you a little forgetful. You used to be Yhwach, but now you are a nameless person. How can you defeat me when you are completely black? Even if you know everything and can do everything, you still forget that all the black belongs to me!"

An extremely powerful force burst out from the body of Hyōshubu Ichibei.

Facing Yhwach who had gotten rid of the name of the Black Ant and broke free from the power of the White Pen Ichimonji, Hyoshubu Ichibei also gathered powerful strength again. In an instant, the black ink spread out again with Hyoshubu Ichibei as the center, and the whole world was dyed black at this moment.

A more powerful and desperate force spread than before.

Hyoshubu Ichibei waved the brush in his hand, and a deep and long chant came out of his mouth. (End of this chapter)
