At this moment, Kurosaki Ichigo felt genuinely relieved. He had originally worried that Ishida Uryu joined Yhwach in order to destroy the Quincy. In that case, he would have faced the difficult situation of fighting against his good friend.
But now, he didn't need to worry. In the future, when battling Yhwach, he could also fight with peace of mind and without concerns!
However, after witnessing this scene, Ishida Uryu complained internally!
What's so good about this? Although I don't know why I'll join this Sternritter order in the future, I must have my own reasons! Now that all my plans are exposed, I won't be able to use them even if I want to in the future!
But such a terrifying Yhwach - will he really take notice of me in the future? And give me a chance to plot against him?! It's truly incredible.
In Soul Society, Kyoraku Shunsui and the others also sighed.
"Although he didn't betray Kurosaki Ichigo, he's now going to betray Yhwach!"
"What's worse is that after this scene was exposed, Ishida Uryu has no chance to carry out his plan."
"Then let's take this opportunity to see what he intended to do!"
At this moment, in the present world, the Shinigami wanted to complain even more about Ishida Uryu. Although it now seemed he did help Kurosaki Ichigo, his previous actions were indeed quite confusing!
After reviewing the events, the Shinigami were full of complaints about Ishida Uryu. If he hadn't attacked Kurosaki Ichigo before, Kurosaki Ichigo probably could have reached the Soul King Palace alongside Yhwach. At that time, if they could have fought side by side with Royal Guard, Royal Guard might not have suffered such a devastating defeat.
After all, judging from Yhwach's previous behavior, it seemed Yhwach had been deliberately avoiding direct confrontation with Kurosaki Ichigo. Perhaps if Kurosaki Ichigo had gotten serious, he really could have defeated Yhwach quickly!
At least before Yhwach devoured the Soul King's power, Kurosaki Ichigo's chances of victory were much greater. And later, when he arrived at the Soul King Palace, it was also because of Ishida Uryu's obstruction that Kurosaki Ichigo was knocked down from the Soul King Palace. He had to find ways to climb back up again.
This gave Yhwach time to absorb the Soul King's power! It had to be said that this Ishida Uryu was truly a troublemaker. For a moment, it was difficult to determine which side he supported!
Ukitake Jushiro also frowned thoughtfully, then said:
"Originally, Kurosaki Ichigo still possessed strong determination and sufficient strength to fight against Yhwach..."
"He didn't spare Yhwach because of his Quincy identity."
"But the plan was disrupted by Ishida Uryu - otherwise, the final outcome would be hard to predict..."
Kurotsuchi Mayuri also looked at him coldly, expressing great disdain for Ishida Uryu.
"Could it be that his plan was to pin his hopes on these wedges?"
"Is it really possible to cause damage to the Wahrwelt?"
"But facing the omniscient and omnipotent Yhwach, it seems this persuasiveness is far from sufficient!"
"If he doesn't produce convincing results in his future actions, then we really have to condemn him."
In the Wandenreich, other Quincy were also frantically complaining about Ishida Uryu.
"By the way, doesn't Ishida Uryu know that our Majesty is omniscient and omnipotent? Why does he still dare to employ these petty tricks?"
"Yes! He clearly knew the power of our Majesty, but he still did this... It's difficult to explain. He can't be that foolish, right?"
"Indeed, it's really hard to explain how this ordinary guy suddenly became His Majesty's powerful assistant..."
"Even as Kurosaki Ichigo's friend, it's insufficient to climb to such a position!"
Yhwach upon his throne half-closed his eyes, recalling the previous battle between Haschwalth and Ishida Uryu... For these two special Quincy, Yhwach seemed to have witnessed many particular scenes with his own eyes...
Hmph! The future is becoming increasingly interesting. Is it a future that I cannot easily grasp? But even if such accidents occur, it will be of no avail! Whether it's Ishida Uryu, Kurosaki Ichigo, or Aizen Sosuke, it's impossible to stop my future self!
[In the projection, Kurosaki Ichigo was still asking loudly.]
["Ishida! Why are you doing this? Even if you don't do this, as long as we defeat Yhwach, this Wahrwelt will collapse, right?"]
[Ishida Uryu conspired with him loudly.]
["It's useless. Only I can do this."]
["There's no way he can be defeated."]
["These wedges are inherited from my master."]
["And they were made with the Sanrei Glove - only my spiritual pressure can activate them."]
["If you understand, then hurry up and leave! Before Haschwalth finds out..."]
This was indeed the traditional Quincy fighting style - using various devices to resolve battles...
[However, at this moment, Haschwalth happened to arrive! Both Kurosaki Ichigo and Ishida Uryu were startled.]
[Haschwalth's expression was as dark as water as he spoke in an ominous tone.]
["I don't know why you said that... before I found out? Do you think you can still hide from my eyes and ears? I said I would watch carefully and see what answer you give me."]
[It seemed that all of Ishida Uryu's actions couldn't be hidden from Haschwalth's "omniscience and omnipotence"!]
[Seeing Haschwalth pursuing them, Ishida Uryu knew his plan was exposed and could only change his strategy temporarily. Ishida Uryu declared he would stop Haschwalth himself! He told Kurosaki Ichigo's group to leave quickly.]
[Haschwalth looked at them coldly and spoke sarcastically.]
["I already knew what you were doing through these eyes, so I've destroyed the shadow gate leading to the present world!!"]
["Let me put an end to this!"]
["Before His Majesty awakens!!"]
[At this moment, Haschwalth was about to eliminate them!]
Witnessing this scene, the audience felt deeply troubled.
[Kyoraku Shunsui]: It appears Ishida Uryu's plan cannot be executed. This wasn't a very reliable plan to begin with...
[Kurosaki Ichigo]: Yes, let's defeat Yhwach once and for all - that's the right approach! Besides, I won't run away like this.
[Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni]: Indeed, there's no point in fleeing now. We must have the courage to fight to the death against Yhwach!
[Ulquiorra Cifer]: It seems Haschwalth, the second-in-command, is truly formidable. Nothing can escape his perception.
[In the projection, a scene that shocked the audience even more appeared. After Haschwalth issued judgment upon Ishida Uryu and the others, his aura continued rising! Endless black spiritual pressure surged behind him.]
[BZZZZZZT!!!]
[This was power that only the Soul King could wield! The aura was cold and heavy, the spiritual pressure vast and boundless! Haschwalth, with enormous spiritual pressure, surrounded Kurosaki Ichigo and the others.]
Witnessing this scene, the audience was even more shocked! Because they could recognize it! This wasn't ordinary spiritual pressure! It was the black spiritual pressure containing the Soul King's power that Yhwach had used against Soul Society below!
Could it be that Haschwalth was also a powerful individual who had reached the Soul King's level? Then this Sternritter member was truly overpowered!
[Hitsugaya Toshiro]: Oh my god, this power... It's like the Soul King's Black spiritual pressure we witnessed before.
[Unohana Retsu]: Previously, it was acceptable for Yhwach to obtain the Soul King's power, but could even one of his subordinates possess such power?
[Kyoraku Shunsui]: It seems what he said is true. Being able to exchange power with Yhwach at night, Haschwalth is indeed very powerful and cannot be ignored.
[Abarai Renji]: Damn it! Our Shinigami Soul King is being treated like this by these Quincy...
[Kuchiki Rukia]: Yes, the authority of our Soul King... Damn it!
[Jugram Haschwalth]: What's so surprising? I can exchange abilities with His Majesty, which naturally includes the Soul King's power! It's truly remarkable that you're surprised!
[Gerard Valkyrie]: Are you still boasting about your Soul King? Hmph! I really don't know if you're ignorant fools who know nothing about the Soul King, or if you're just being stubborn...
[Pernida Parnkgjas]: Forget about the Soul King's authority. Even if he were alive, he would simply despise you greatly! You have no right to respect him! The Soul King's existence is to take revenge on the Shinigami!
It seemed these Quincy knew considerable truth about the Soul King!
At this moment, the Shinigami in Soul Society harbored very complex emotions. Previously, many Shinigami who didn't know the truth always revered the Soul King as a deity.
Unexpectedly, later they witnessed a series of shocking events that continuously shattered their mentality. The Soul King becoming a limbless torso imprisoned in crystal nearly collapsed their faith.
The Shinigami of the Gotei 13 used all their strength and shed their blood in the Thousand-Year Blood War, all for such a limbless torso without freedom and utterly pitiful?
There was even doubt that it was Royal Guard who had done something to the Soul King? Otherwise, why did the former master of the three realms become so miserable?
Royal Guard claimed that the Gotei 13 didn't protect the Soul King Palace well... Did Royal Guard protect the Soul King Palace and the Soul King properly? Or did these Royal Guard members already know the Soul King's current condition?
Most Shinigami couldn't obtain answers to these questions... Additionally, because war was imminent, the Gotei 13 Shinigami couldn't question Royal Guard. They could only focus their attacks on the Quincy!! They temporarily concealed their doubts...
But later, increasingly more events that shattered their worldviews appeared. The Shinigami witnessed the Soul King, whom they revered as a god, pierced through the body by Yhwach's sword. And later, they saw Yhwach controlling Kurosaki Ichigo's body and slicing the Soul King in half.
In their hearts, the Soul King had completely become a representation of pitifulness. The glorious image of the Soul King had been steadily dimming. It bore no relation to the title of "King"!
