Yhwach could control the future, but he couldn't see the past.
Isaac Mardon knelt on the ground and explained, "Many things happened while Your Majesty was in slumber. Our palace was discovered by the Shinigami. After a great battle, without Your Majesty, we were no match for those Shinigami. And the palace also underwent two transfers. Now we are underground in Hueco Mundo. Several members of the Sternritter... including my sister, have already fallen in battle."
There was no ripple in Yhwach's eyes.
At this time, he had already awakened Omniscience and Omnipotence, and with his ability, he could completely bring back to life those who had died, but he did not do so.
Why did he create the Wandenreich?
Was it not to let these people share his worries and solve his problems?
And at the most crucial moment, to devour all these people.
Why should I bother to resurrect these useless people? Since they died in battle, it means their abilities are insufficient.
Isaac Mardon knelt on the ground, how much he wished that Yhwach could resurrect his sister, which was also the reason he had been supporting the Wandenreich.
However, Yhwach said coldly, "I know."
And then there was no more, as if the deaths of those people had nothing to do with him.
Isaac Mardon clenched his fists tightly; his rationality told him that the purpose of the Sternritter's birth was to serve Yhwach, and no matter how Yhwach treated them, the knights' loyalty would not change.
And as the Captain of the Sternritter, he should set an example.
"Also… there's one more thing, the reason the palace was exposed was because… a Quincy couldn't withstand the torture of the enemy… May I ask, Yhwach, how should this matter be handled?" Isaac Mardon asked.
Yhwach gently closed his eyes.
"Do as it should be done."
Arenas Bard's heart sank when he heard Yhwach say that; he knew Ishida Oborozuki was doomed.
But he still wanted to buy Ishida Oborozuki a few more days.
"Yhwach, your awakening means that the war against Soul Society is about to begin. At this time, even killing that traitor would be useless; it would be better to let her die in battle on the battlefield." Arenas Bard said respectfully, bowing his head deeply, knowing that all his thoughts could not escape Yhwach's eyes.
Yhwach propped his face with his hand, sitting on the throne: "Is this what you call emotion? Just a small traitor, it doesn't matter, I'll give her a chance and allow her to die on the battlefield."
"Thank you, Yhwach!" Arenas Bard took a deep breath.
For Ishida Oborozuki, this might be the best outcome.
After the meeting, Arenas Bard found Ishida Oborozuki.
Ishida Oborozuki was originally a very noble young lady from a noble family, but after being imprisoned for half a year, although her temperament remained, she appeared even thinner.
"I heard Yhwach has awakened. Are you here to execute me?" Ishida Oborozuki asked.
"No, Yhwach has shown mercy and allowed you to die on the battlefield. I hope this time you won't disappoint Yhwach." Arenas Bard said with a helpless tone.
Watching the girl he loved go to her death, yet being powerless, this feeling was truly tormenting.
"Mm, I understand." Ishida Oborozuki said calmly, as if she had already accepted her fate.
Everything was indifferent to her.
"Do you… do you have any other wishes? As long as I can do it, I will unconditionally agree to you." Arenas Bard's face showed reluctance.
Ishida Oborozuki looked at Arenas Bard and suddenly smiled, like a blooming lily.
"If we can come back alive from the battlefield, let's get married." Ishida Oborozuki said with a smile.
Arenas Bard's heart was greatly shaken.
He had always hidden this feeling, originally thinking there was no hope in this life.
He never expected such a turn of events at this moment.
"Then… then we must come back alive." Arenas Bard said, and as he spoke, he prepared to leave with large strides, but his arm was grabbed by Ishida Oborozuki.
"Tonight… don't leave." Ishida Oborozuki said softly, "I don't want to leave any regrets in the last moments of my life."
This night, life blossomed.
…
The end of January in Soul Society.
The entire Soul Society was covered in silver.
Yamabuki was patrolling the East District with his team.
"Chief of Staff, the Spirit King said that enemies would be attacking soon, but is it accurate? January is almost over!" a team member asked.
"I don't know either!" Yamabuki smiled bitterly, I don't have Omniscience and Omnipotence, how would I know if it's accurate.
Just as the two sides were chatting and laughing, suddenly, in the West District of Seireitei, an ice-blue pillar of fire erupted, dozens of meters in diameter, shooting straight into the sky. At the same time, a spiritual pressure completely different from that of a Shinigami appeared.
Yamabuki was all too familiar with this scene.
What was destined to come, finally came!
"Everyone draw your Zanpakuto and be on guard! I'll go first, you follow!" Yamabuki activated Shunpo and rushed towards the blue pillar of fire at an extremely fast speed.
Almost at the same time, all the Captains of the Gotei 13 felt a spiritual pressure different from that of a Shinigami.
Enemy invasion!
Everyone reacted as quickly as possible, jumping onto the rooftops of their squad barracks. They had undergone many drills before; once an enemy appeared, they must not panic but remain steady.
Yamabuki arrived in front of the pillar of fire like the wind.
At this moment, a young girl in a white uniform gently flicked her blade, and a string of blood drops flew into the snow.
And on the ground were more than a dozen Shinigami corpses.
"I thought Seireitei was some kind of dragon's den or tiger's lair, but it turns out they're all just this caliber!" The girl shook her head and scoffed.
But the next second, terrifying spiritual pressure that tore through space descended from the sky. The girl's expression changed slightly, and most of the Quincy behind her couldn't withstand this spiritual pressure and knelt on the ground in great pain.
The girl quickly looked up, only to find more than a dozen Heilig Pfeil shooting down from mid-air. The girl quickly activated Hirenkyaku to dodge, but her subordinates behind her were impaled to the ground because they couldn't dodge in time.
"This is called a life for a life! Remember that, girl!" Yamabuki held a reishi bow in his hand, looking coldly at the girl in front of him.
The girl saw Yamabuki and revealed a mysterious smile: "It seems you are the Shinigami who can use Quincy abilities, as Captain said. Hello, my name is Dorothy, Sternritter Schrift D."
"I don't care who you are! Die for me!" Yamabuki drew his Zanpakuto and instantly lunged forward.
Dorothy suddenly stretched out her hand and activated her Schrift ability, Infinite Hand.
Yamabuki suddenly felt his body being swept by an invisible force, but there was no discomfort.
Dorothy's expression changed slightly, and she muttered, "Bad luck!"
Then she drew her blade to block Yamabuki's surprise attack.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just here to deliver a declaration of war. Once I throw it to you, I'll go back. Why make it a fight to the death?" Dorothy said with a smile.
