Chapter 278: Team 0 is defeated, the final farewell!

"Xiao Anyo, Chang Anyo, come here. Meet everyone and drink it."

As the huge brush was waved, the chanting echoed, and a wine bowl appeared in the hand of Hyoshubu Ichibei. The bowl was filled with black ink instead of wine. He held the bowl and drank all the ink. Then, he recited the subsequent chanting.

"Drink it, and your life will fade away. The same is true for the road to the underworld, where all flowers... bloom."

The brush danced, drawing an extremely huge circle around his body with his body as the center.

"Where the wine and food are, they are dyed black, split into eight parts, and roasted into black with a black flame. Eat it up quickly, and what is left are white bones. Set up a monument for him and mourn for him. In order to prevent him from being reborn again, in order to prevent him from becoming our sacrifice again."

As the last two words were chanted, the brush-shaped Zanpakutō in Hyoshubu Ichibei's hand stabbed into the ground in front of him, and he himself stood behind the Zanpakutō with his hands clasped in front of him.

"Don't turn around Taisha Ling!"

A loud voice was heard, and countless inks surged. In an instant, the entire world was dyed black. Black mausoleums and tombstones began to appear in the dark world.

"This is a group of mourning tombstones built for you by Soul Society a hundred years from now, seizing a hundred nights."

"I will suck all the darkness wrapped around you away. Your blood, your flesh, your bones, everything about you will turn into pitch black and return to nothingness. You won't even be allowed to turn around!"

"Fall into the dark hell!"

A soldier of the Hyoshubu mobilized his strength, and in an instant, the black tombstones and mausoleums continued to pull at Youhabach who was entangled in the darkness, trying to tear his body apart, completely devour him, and then bury him in this tomb.

However, what shocked Hyōshubu Ichibei was

Even though he used such a powerful move, he still couldn't kill Youhabach. The black kept pulling on Youhabach's body, but did not tear his flesh apart as he expected.

"!!!"

This scene made Hyoshubu Ichibei's eyes widen.

"I said I can see through everything." Yhwach said coldly: "In front of my power, there is no room for understanding and coping. Everything I see will become powerless in front of me."

"Do you think I'm still a nobody?"

His voice became deep and distant.

"My name is Youhabach, and I am the one who took everything from you!"

boom!
When the unforeseen attack came, Hyoshubu Ichibei's body flew out and exploded. Then, only his head was left, which smashed heavily on the ground. At the moment of falling to the ground, Hyoshubu Ichibei's breath was completely cut off.

Compared to the various attacks he had previously launched at Youhabach, Youhabach's attack was deadly enough.

After he opened his eyes and regained his original strength, he defeated Hyoshubu Ichibei with just one strike.

Yhwach's figure floated and stood in front of Hyoshubu Ichibei. He lowered his head and looked at the remaining head of Hyoshubu Ichibei. His extremely cold voice echoed again, "Just as I predicted, he will die within three steps of mine!"

This was a response to what was said during the previous battle with Hyoshubu Ichibei.

Combined with what they had said before, when Youhabach said these words again, it revealed how terrifying he was at the moment.

It was also with the fall of Ichibei of the Hyoshubu.

The barrier that Ichibei of Hyoshubu had previously created with the "Ichimonji" in his hand was also shattered.

"His Majesty!"

Hasward, who had been guarding in the distance, quickly came to his side after seeing His Majesty defeat the leader of Squad Zero.

"They have already been defeated."

Haschwalth told Uhabach a story.

This time when he went up to the Soul King Palace, Yhwach did not bring all the members of the Stern Cross Knights with him. He only brought some subordinates who he thought were valuable. When he and Haschwalth came near the Soul King's Palace, the rest of his subordinates were struggling with the members of Squad Zero. They tried to hold back the four members of Squad Zero to prevent them from becoming an obstacle.

"Team Zero does have some good points!"

After several subordinates died in battle, their souls returned to Youhabach's body. Youhabach knew the process of their battle and understood why they were defeated.

Three members of Squad Zero committed suicide in exchange for Shutara Senjumaru to perform Bankai.

And Shutra Senjumaru did not let the deaths of his three companions go to waste, using his powerful Bankai to take out all four of his subordinates in one go.

This kind of powerful force is in line with the identity of Squad Zero.

Unfortunately, these guys overlooked one thing.

That is, as long as he is still alive, his subordinates can be resurrected even if they die.

"Team Zero is no longer a concern. From now on, we just need to deal with you!"

"My father - the Spirit King!"

Yhwach looked towards the main hall of the Soul King Palace in front of him. Although the distance was extremely far, he could feel the gaze.

"In order to replace you calmly, I need to bring myself to my peak state."

"In that case, let's just recycle the power!"

The next moment, tremendous power spread out from Youhabach's body.

The power originating from the soul level exploded and spread rapidly within and outside the three realms.

"Soul Retrieval - Sanctification!"

……

In the Soul Society.

The battle between the Shinigami and the Quincies is not over yet.

Even though many Quincies were killed, their souls were destroyed by the tools made by Urahara Kisuke.

But the remaining Quincies still caused great trouble and casualties to the Gotei 13.

Every member of the Stern Cross Knights is a well-deserved captain-level powerhouse. Even though Natsuki had made a lot of preparations in advance for this war, after the war broke out, the casualties of the Gotei 13 were not as terrible as in the original work, and thousands of Shinigami did not die in an instant.

The Bankai of many captains have never been taken away by the Quincies.

But it still takes time to defeat all the Quincies in one go.

Just when the Shinigami of the Gotei 13 and the Quincy were in a stalemate.

Suddenly, an invisible force came.

All the Quincy were immediately affected by this power.

"This is……"

Their faces changed drastically.

"Your Majesty, please don't..."

"Youhabach, do you want to kill me?"

Some people exclaimed, some people cursed.

During this process, they exerted all their strength to resist the pulling force that originated from the soul, but unfortunately, even though they were all captain-level and powerful, they were still unable to resist this force. When facing this force, they were even more fragile than ordinary pure-blooded Quincy in the world.

Because they are not only pure-blooded Quincies, but also people who have engraved the holy words.

The Holy Words were engraved with the Soul Blood Wine of Yhwach. When a Quincy drank the Soul Blood Wine, they would gain extremely powerful strength, but their souls would be closely connected to Yhwach. If Yhwach wanted to, he could easily take their lives.

On the contrary, those pure-blooded Quincies who do not have the Holy Words have been separated from their ancestors for many generations, and the mark of Youhabach in their blood has become very small. As long as they are strong enough, they may be able to resist the Holy Words.

Of course, this does not include mixed-race people.

Mixed blood simply doesn't have the same power as pure blood.

Unless one possesses special powers, there is no way to resist holiness.

At this moment, when these Quincies were suffering heavy losses, Ishida Uryuu, who was also in the Soul Society, also felt the pulling force that originated from the soul.

“Is this sanctification?”

Since I came into contact with Xia Mu, I learned a lot of truth from him.

Although Ishida Uryu had only met Yhwach once, he knew everything about him.

Moreover, we know things related to holiness.

When the pull of the soul hits.

He witnessed the Quincies struggling to resist death.

He knew that Youhabach had once again unleashed his holy power.

Ishida Uryuu didn't feel anything about the farewell that led to his mother's death.

But this time of sanctification was different. He felt its horror personally.

No wonder my mother died, and no wonder so many half-blood Quincy died.

"But this power is useless to me!"

Ishida Uryu's eyes flickered, and he immediately activated the power of his holy text.

“Completely the opposite!”

In an instant, the situation was reversed.

Not to mention that Ishida Uryu's holy text was not opened by the power of Youhabach. Even if his holy text was related to Youhabach, he had drunk the soul and blood wine of Youhabach. With the special power, he could avoid the influence of holiness.

But there is only one Ishida Uryu in this world.

There is only one person who has the ability to completely reverse everything.

Just because Ishida Uryuu can avoid the influence of Sainthood doesn't mean that other Quincies can do the same.

Previously, the Holy Words had brought such powerful strength to these Quincies. At this moment, the power that had helped them open the Holy Words had become a weapon to take their lives.

No matter how they struggled, no matter how much strength they exerted, their souls eventually left their bodies and flew high into the sky.

Among them, those in good condition can hold on for a while longer.

And how can those guys who are not in good condition due to the battle have the strength to resist the Holy?
As the battle progresses, there are basically no people in good condition left in Soul Society.

In a short period of time, many Quincy died one after another.

The war that has enveloped the Soul Society is about to come to an end in an extremely strange way.

The one who killed the Quincy was not the God of Death, but Yhwach, the king of the Quincy and the ancestor of the Quincy.

This is extremely ironic.

"These Quincy are..."

Urahara Kisuke looked at the Quincies who died one after another in the struggle with a solemn expression.

"Of course, they were all killed by the emperor they respected."

Natsuki, who had served as the fire captain for a while, came to Urahara Kisuke and spoke to him.

"For the Emperor, these Quincies were fearless and brave. They fought bravely. In the end, they did not desert. Instead, their Emperor abandoned them first. After Yhwach went to the Soul King Palace, these Quincies still did not give up the fight, causing us a lot of trouble."

“But you saw the result.”

Natsuki didn't say anything else, but Urahara Kisuke understood what Natsuki meant.

Not only did Youhabach not sympathize with his subordinates' brave fighting, but he also ruined the good situation and killed all of them.

"Pity!"

Thinking of this, Urahara Kisuke couldn't help but sigh again.

The soul recovery of Sanctification is somewhat different from the soul returning to Yhwach after the Quincy's death.

The latter can be interrupted and the Quincy's soul can be exterminated through special means, but the former is too fast and is dominated by the power of Yhwach. Even if Urahara Kisuke tried to interrupt and destroy it during the process, he still ended in failure.

“Something unimaginable must have happened in the Soul King Palace, so Yhwach is collecting the power.”

"Now, the battle in the Soul Society has barely come to an end. The next battle we need to deal with is above!"

As he spoke, Xia Mu looked up at the sky.

Above the sky is the realm where the Spirit King Palace is located.

……

In the Palace of the Spirit King.

Through a holy separation, Yhwach collected the souls of all the Quincy souls that he deemed to be worthless into his body, and all the powers along with them also became his.

He first closed his eyes, and then slowly opened them.

There was a hint of compassion on his face.

It seemed as if he couldn't bear to kill so many Quincies.

Haschwald saw the compassion on Youhabach's face and couldn't help but sigh: "Your Majesty is so kind!"

Yhwach did not respond to Haschwald, but said in a deep voice: "The useless people have been sacrificed. Next, it is time to revive the useful people."

So he once again exerted another power that was the opposite of holiness.

"Soul sharing!"

In an instant, part of the soul that returned to Youhabach's body was actively separated from him.

Then, these souls returned to their bodies.

Also, because Youhabach had used Holiness before, his power at this moment had surpassed that of before and some of it was overflowing. He didn't mind dividing off a portion of his power to strengthen his subordinates after their resurrection.

Another place in the Spirit King Palace.

Shutara Senjumaru, who used Bankai to kill four members of the God's Guards, also discovered that Hyoshubu Ichibei's spiritual pressure had disappeared, which meant that the leader of the Zero Squad had been defeated. Shutara Senjumaru was neither happy nor sad, and just prepared to go to the Soul King's Ouchi to clean up the mess.

At this moment, she suddenly discovered that the people behind her who had been killed by her before had resurrected. (End of this chapter)
