World of the Living, Karakura Town, Kurosaki Clinic.
The Kurosaki Clinic now had four new intern doctors.
Meninas, Liltotto, Bambietta, and Candice had settled in the World of the Living and needed to learn skills to survive here.
Sora taught them some medical skills and had them work at the clinic with Kurosaki Misaki.
Kurosaki Misaki happily agreed. After some time, the Kurosaki Clinic had built a reputation in Karakura Town.
Patients came in one after another, and she couldn't handle it all alone.
Having more doctors meant they could treat more patients.
Also, Kurosaki Misaki was ten months pregnant and couldn't manage the clinic for now. Someone needed to watch it.
In the consultation room, Liltotto and Bambietta kept looking at the operating room behind them.
"Misaki has been in there for a long time..."
Liltotto was worried.
"Don't worry. Misaki said the Professor's medical skills are even better than hers. She'll be safe."
Bambietta wasn't too worried. She had blind faith in the Professor's abilities. In her mind, there was nothing he couldn't do.
"It's not that I don't trust the Professor's skills... It's just, the due date was a week early. It's a bit worrying."
Liltotto sighed.
As Quincy, they could always sense the condition of the baby in Kurosaki Misaki's belly. They had a good idea of the due date.
But, just now, Kurosaki Misaki suddenly showed signs of labor. Her water broke.
The Professor, Candice, and Meninas quickly rushed Kurosaki Misaki into the operating room.
She and Bambietta, being younger, were left outside.
After a long time, the operating room door opened.
"The operation is over. Come on in~"
Meninas peeked her head out the door and waved to the two waiting outside.
Liltotto and Bambietta hurried in.
As soon as they entered, they saw the baby held in the Professor's arms.
"So this is what a newborn baby looks like..."
Liltotto looked at the baby curiously.
"Why is it so ugly!"
Bambietta said bluntly.
The baby's skin was wrinkled, and its face was scrunched up. It really did look ugly.
"If you can't say something nice, don't say anything."
Liltotto rolled her eyes. She was frustrated by Bambietta's lack of emotional awareness, especially with Kurosaki Misaki still lying on the operating bed.
"Pfft— She hasn't filled out yet. The baby will get cuter in a week or two."
Kurosaki Misaki didn't mind.
"She doesn't have a name yet."
Sora handed the baby to Kurosaki Misaki.
"Hmm... let's call her Masaki. Kurosaki Masaki."
Kurosaki Misaki said after thinking.
"Masaki? That's a good name..."
As Sora said this, his expression suddenly changed.
He was actually focusing on two things at once.
His main body was still in the Wandenreich, fighting the Quincy. If Kurosaki Misaki hadn't suddenly gone into labor, he wouldn't have put much attention here.
Something had changed on the Wandenreich battlefield.
From Silbern, a holy, clear bell toll echoed.
Dong, dong, dong—
The clear bells echoed throughout the Wandenreich.
Countless pillars of Reishi light shot out from Silbern. Some shone down on the Quincy.
Others broke through the Wandenreich's barrier, passed through the Dangai, and entered the World of the Living.
...
Wandenreich Prison.
Bazz-B, who was locked up for attacking the Grandmaster, had just broken the iron door of his cell.
Bazz-B sensed the war happening outside, so he didn't plan to stay in his cell.
"This is..."
Bazz-B looked up. A blue Reishi pillar fell from the sky.
Under the light's baptism, Bazz-B felt the Reishi in his spiritual body being ripped away.
"So this is what you do, Yhwach!!!"
He remembered his hometown, also destroyed by this same powerful, unstoppable force.
"Like hell I'm going to die in a place like this!!!"
Bazz-B gritted his teeth, resisting the baptism of the Auswählen.
...
Sun Gate Battlefield.
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto was fighting the Loyd and Royd brothers, who had turned into him.
One Yamamoto slashed out a pillar of fire, but the other two Yamamotos worked together to cut it apart.
"They can resist my flames..."
Yamamoto frowned. After these Quincy changed into his form, they could also copy his abilities.
Normal attacks wouldn't work on them.
"Should I use Bankai..."
Yamamoto glanced at the battlefield. It was surrounded by Shinigami.
If he released his Bankai here, the nearby squad members would be instantly vaporized. He might kill more Shinigami than Quincy.
He had to give up the idea of using Bankai.
Luckily, the Shinigami side had the advantage, and the Spiritual Pressures of elite Quincy were being extinguished one by one.
Just then, Yamamoto heard the bells from Silbern.
Dong, dong, dong—
Countless pillars of Reishi light shot out of Silbern, shining on the Quincy.
"Your Majesty... to be able to return to your side... is an honor..."
Loyd and Royd quietly accepted the holy baptism and turned to dry bones.
"Yhwach..."
Yamamoto looked toward Silbern. He could sense Yhwach's Spiritual Pressure there.
The other surviving Quincy were also receiving the holy baptism.
In the pillars of light, the holy bells and the screams of agony wove together, forming the Quincy's holy anthem.
All the Shinigami stopped fighting, watching as the enemies they were just fighting were killed by their own King.
...
The holy light from Silbern also shone on the World of the Living.
Dong, dong, dong—
Everyone in the Kurosaki Clinic heard the clear bells echoing over Karakura Town.
"What's that sound?"
The young Liltotto and the others didn't know what it was, but they felt a deep fear, like seeing a natural predator.
"This is the Auswählen, started by the Quincy King Yhwach. He is reclaiming the Quincy's power."
Sora's Quincy power, due to the Soul King's intervention, had successfully erased its connection to Yhwach.
Therefore, he was a Quincy unaffected by the Auswählen.
But in this room, counting the newborn Kurosaki Masaki, there were six other Quincy who would be affected!
"Auswählen?"
Liltotto and the others were still confused. The knowledge they learned in the Wandenreich did not include this.
Only a few Sternritter members knew about the Auswählen.
They were told that when the King of the Quincy awakened, he would use it to reclaim the power from Quincy of impure blood.
"You wait here."
Sora smashed directly through the ceiling and landed on the roof of the Kurosaki Clinic.
A giant hole had torn open in the sky, and pillars of Reishi light were falling like a blue meteor shower.
