The land of the Soul Society was the first to let out an extremely mournful cry. The ruins of the Seireitei, originally composed of high-density reishi, now resembled fragile crackers thrown into a shredder as vast stretches of land collapsed and subsided.
Countless bottomless rifts spread like spiderwebs, while scorching netherworld flames erupted from the depths of the earth.
In the Human World, the sky above Karakura Town was instantly dyed a despair-inducing blood red. The Law of Gravity completely failed at this moment. Skyscrapers, cars, and even terrified humans broke free from gravity, helplessly floating toward a sky riddled with black temporal cracks. Tsunamis reversed their course, while hurricanes tore apart the last remnants of civilization.
Even Hueco Mundo's eternally unchanging white-sand desert collapsed into nothingness amid this cosmic-level destruction.
The most chilling sight was Hell, located at the lowest layer of the Three Realms.
The perpetually sealed Hell Gate, covered in eerie white bones, was now trembling violently. The thick chains binding the evil spirits snapped one after another, while an incredibly dense sulfurous miasma, along with the pure malice accumulated over millennia, frantically leaked through the cracks in the Three Realms, attempting to drag this collapsing world into an abyss of eternal damnation!
"The sky has fallen... The cycle of this Universe has completely ended."
Urahara Kisuke, Kyoraku Shunsui, and the others, barely surviving inside an underground shelter in the Human World, watched the apocalyptic scene through violently shaking monitors. Their eyes held nothing but utter despair.
Against this level of cosmic collapse, any Shinigami's Bankai or technological means of salvation seemed utterly ludicrous and meaningless.
However, just as the beings of the Three Realms plunged into the deepest despair of the apocalypse, awaiting everything to return to nothingness, at that very moment—
At the core of the Soul King Palace ruins.
Uchiha Tobirama, having completely digested that vast and boundless Origin of Creation without leaving behind even the slightest trace, slowly opened his eyes.
Buzz————!!!
At that instant, there was no blinding glare and no deafening sonic boom.
Only a [Creator's Pressure] that completely surpassed all previous Soul Kings, even transcending the underlying logic of this Universe, swept across the entire Three Realms and Six Paths in a gentle yet absolutely domineering manner!
This pressure was no longer mere destruction.
It was a "new Law" imbued with absolute will!
Tobirama floated in mid-air, his Tenseigan eyes swirling with the light of billions of stars being born and dying as he coldly overlooked the crumbling, shattered dimension beneath his feet.
He slowly raised his slender, pale right hand, bringing his index and middle fingers together, and spoke four incredibly plain words toward the turbulent Universe below:
"For Our Majesty, Halt."
Words spoken, Law follows!
These four words were not particularly loud, yet they resonated like the first grand bell struck by the Creator at the dawn of the Universe, directly imprinting themselves into the core of every fundamental particle in the Three Realms at a speed that ignored space and time!
An incredibly absurd yet magnificent miracle, one that inspired worship, unfolded at this moment!
The continental plates of the Soul Society, which had been plummeting frantically, were forcibly frozen in mid-air by that single word—"Halt"!
The gushing netherworld flames flowed back into the earth's core, while the torn ground fissures rapidly healed as if time itself were reversing!
The buildings and people floating through the Human World were gently yet irresistibly lifted by a new gravitational force and firmly placed back onto solid ground. The blood-red sky instantly returned to clarity, while the terrifying temporal cracks were smoothed over and stitched together by an invisible, mighty force, leaving not even a scar.
And the Hell Gate, which had been shaking violently in an attempt to release endless evil spirits—
Upon sensing this new Dominator's aura, which transcended all else, it slammed shut with a thunderous crash!
One word to destroy the world, one thought to save the world!
Without needing to be dismembered and used as a battery like that pathetic Soul King, Uchiha Tobirama merely had to stand there. His will itself became the new and absolute axis governing the operation of this world!
He alone perfectly replaced and far surpassed the Soul King's functions, becoming the supreme and unquestionable sole Dominator of this world!
"This... how is this possible?"
Shutara Senjumaru, Kirio Hikifune, Bambietta Basterbine, and the others, protected by Tobirama's aura, were utterly stunned.
They had initially believed that devouring the Soul King would lead to the irreversible destruction of the world. Yet they had never imagined that this man could, through his own power, forcibly reshape the Laws of the Three Realms!
This was the master they had sworn to follow!
A true, living Creator God!
The world's turmoil had subsided, but Tobirama's declaration of rule had only just begun.
His tall, majestic figure slowly rose into the void until he floated at the highest point of the entire Soul King Palace ruins.
Buzz!
Accompanied by an extremely brilliant dark-golden pillar of light that shot deep into the Universe, Uchiha Tobirama's cold and handsome image, along with his oracle-like voice, was directly and forcibly projected into the deepest minds of every sentient being in the Soul Society, Human World, and Hueco Mundo!
Whether it was a remnant Shinigami hiding in an underground shelter, a low-level Arrancar trembling in the ruins of Hueco Mundo, or an ignorant human in the Human World—
At this moment, their spiritual vision was completely dominated by the figure of this silver-haired Great Emperor!
"The old era, that pathetic cycle built upon hypocrisy, betrayal, and incompleteness, has been personally brought to an end by Our Majesty today."
Tobirama's voice boomed within the Souls of trillions of beings across the Three Realms.
"That crippled wedge you worshipped within the crystal has become nourishment for Our Majesty's power."
"From this second onward, listen carefully."
Tobirama's eyes, looking down upon all beings, seemed to meet each person's Soul directly, bringing an absolute pressure that made any thought of resistance impossible.
"There is no Gotei 13, no Wandenreich, and no so-called Royal Guard."
"All life and death, all rules in this world, shall be decided by Our Majesty alone."
"My name is Uchiha Tobirama. From now on, I am the only True God above you all!"
"Those who obey Us shall be granted new life and glory; those who defy Us shall be completely erased from the end of time and concept!"
"Now, kneel before your new master!!!"
Boom————!!!!
As those final words fell, an Emperor's Pressure, a dual crushing of both spirit and body, instantly covered the entire Three Realms!
This was not a negotiation.
It was an irresistible spiritual authority!
In the Human World's underground shelter, Urahara Kisuke, Shinji Hirako, and the others, who still harbored a sliver of hope, felt the bones in their legs emit a mournful cry beneath the overwhelming pressure the moment it descended.
"Thud! Thud! Thud!"
Without any room for resistance, these former Captain-level Shinigami were directly crushed beneath the force and heavily fell to their knees! Their foreheads pressed against the cold floor, their bodies drenched in sweat and completely deprived of even the strength to lift a finger.
Beside them, Hitsugaya Toshiro, paralyzed in his wheelchair, was flipped over along with his chair, offering forced worship to the silver-haired figure in his mind in an extremely humiliating posture.
All the Gillians and Arrancar remnants in Hueco Mundo uniformly prostrated themselves in the desert.
Billions of humans in the Human World, though unaware of the reason, were driven by instinct to drop everything and kneel, bowing toward the sky.
And behind Tobirama—
Yoruichi, Soi Fon, Unohana Retsu, Nel, Tier Harribel, Bambietta Basterbine, and the recently subdued Zero Division goddesses—
This ultimate harem, gathering the most exquisite beauties of the Shinigami Universe, now willingly and fanatically knelt upon the broken white jade steps. They gazed up at that dazzling, sun-like figure, their eyes filled with an unhealthy peak of adoration and subservience.
This was ultimate authority!
This was the magnificent spectacle of billions of beings across the world simultaneously bowing in submission!
An ultimate feeling, enough to drive anyone mad, was thoroughly fulfilled at this moment.
However—
For Uchiha Tobirama, the Dominator of an Empire aiming to conquer all the myriad worlds, merely conquering an isolated Shinigami Universe was clearly not enough to match his current vast territorial ambitions.
"Floating alone in the dimensional rift, this territory is a bit too desolate."
Tobirama looked down, surveying the world he had completely controlled, a world-shaking smile tinged with madness and grandeur curving across his lips.
"Since it has become Our Majesty's private property, it should be merged with Our Majesty's magnificent Empire homeworld!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Tobirama decisively summoned the long-dormant yet incredibly powerful Divine Rank System within his mind.
"System!"
"Retrieve the coordinates of Our Majesty's previously fused 'Hokage + Pirate + Akame ga Kill' super-large homeworld!"
"Activate the highest authority of a Realm Master—the Cross-Dimensional World Fusion function!"
"Roughly and forcibly drag this entire Shinigami Universe, including all matter and space within the Soul Society, Human World, and Hueco Mundo, over to Us!!!"
[Ding! Host's highest-authority command received!]
[Locking onto coordinate source... Lock successful!]
[Deploying cross-dimensional interstellar traction net... Warning! This operation will cause extremely violent spatial tremors. Please stabilize the core, Host!]
[World Fusion, officially initiated!!!]
Rumble rumble rumble————————!!!!
At this moment, all the beings of the Shinigami Universe who had just prostrated themselves raised their heads in terror.
They witnessed the most shocking scene imaginable, something they could never have conceived of in this life—or even throughout their entire cycle of reincarnation!
The entire firmament of the Shinigami world, whether it was the cloud sea of the Soul Society, the endless night of Hueco Mundo, or the blue sky of the Human World—
At this instant, it seemed to transform into a curtain being forcibly dragged by an immensely powerful force!
Space frantically stretched and twisted!
A dimensional traction rope, invisible to the naked eye yet emitting a dazzling golden light, tightly bound the edge of this Universe. Then, under a colossal force that surpassed the Law of Creation, the entire Shinigami Universe began traversing the endless Void Realm and chaotic currents, plunging frantically toward another extremely distant and immensely massive super-sized planet!
"What... what is happening?! The world is moving?!" Shutara Senjumaru's beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Just watch quietly. Our Master is taking you to witness the truly vast and boundless territory of the Empire."
Soi Fon, though equally shocked, spoke with fanatical pride and a deep sense of belonging.
Under the System's protection, the Fusion process did not inflict destructive tearing sensations upon the beings within. Instead, it created a peculiar weightless experience akin to traversing an interstellar tunnel.
After an unknown period—perhaps an instant, perhaps tens of millions of years—
[Ding! World Fusion complete!]
[Current Empire homeworld volume has increased exponentially! Resource integration complete! New planar Laws are compatible!]
As the System's cold, clear notification sounded, the people of the Shinigami world finally felt gravity stabilize again.
When Urahara Kisuke, Kyoraku Shunsui, and all the Shinigami, Hollows, and Quincy remnants finally opened their eyes and looked at the brand-new sky above them, their recently reshaped worldviews were once again utterly and catastrophically shattered!
"Oh my God... what did I just see?!"
Kyoraku Shunsui collapsed onto the Human World street, completely oblivious to his straw hat falling off.
He saw that above the unreachable Nine Heavens—
There was no longer the so-called Soul King Palace.
Instead, a vast, endless interstellar ocean had appeared, inverted across the sky!
Within that inverted ocean, several terrifying giant beasts—Sea Kings—each measuring more than ten thousand meters long and exuding an ancient, primordial aura, swayed their mountain-sized tails and released long, cloud-shattering whale calls through the heavens!
A creature of that size, if even one were to fall, would be enough to completely flatten the entire Seireitei into a meat pie!
And in the far distance of the land stood a colossal tree—the Divine Tree—so enormous that its size defied description. Its canopy pierced through the planet's atmosphere and reached into the vacuum of space, glowing with a soft green light.
That vigorous life force, powerful enough to drive Shinigami mad, continuously nourished this super-large fused planet, whose volume had expanded tens of millions of times!
And these were far from the only heart-stopping wonders.
Across the previously empty plains, waves of uniform, thunderous footsteps, exuding an aura of immortality, rolled forth like thunder.
It was an army of hundreds of millions of "Edo Tensei" soldiers, their eyes black and their bodies covered in cracks!
Each one emanated Chakra fluctuations at least at the Vice-Captain level.
This absolutely obedient, tireless, and unkillable ghost army stood guard in solemn military formations along the borders of this new continent.
The clash and Fusion of peak powers from different world Systems now revealed to the natives of the Shinigami Universe the unfathomable and despair-inducing foundation of the Uchiha Empire!
Just as these billions of beings were too stunned to breathe, several incredibly powerful Chakra fluctuations, strong enough to distort the entire atmosphere, shot up from the distant Imperial Capital, hurtling toward Tobirama's location at supersonic speed.
"Hehehehehe... This intoxicatingly domineering aura has finally descended again."
A slender figure accompanied by a hoarse, extremely fanatical laugh appeared first.
Orochimaru's pale face was filled with an intense craving for truth and power.
Closely following him was Uchiha Madara, clad in red layered armor, his long black hair wildly flowing as he exuded an aura that seemed to look down upon the entire world!
And behind them came those peak powerhouses who had been completely subdued by Tobirama in the Akame ga Kill! and One Piece worlds, such as Esdeath and the others.
These ultimate overlords, who had once commanded great influence and stood invincible within their respective worlds, sensed that familiar Creator's aura.
Without the slightest hesitation or arrogance, they knelt heavily on one knee before the newly joined white jade plaza, like the most devout believers encountering their sole deity.
At the same time—
With a resounding thud!
Earth-shattering cheers, like mountains collapsing and tsunamis roaring, not only echoed throughout this new territory but also completely shattered the last pitiful shred of illusion in the hearts of the Shinigami remnants.
"Welcome back, Your Majesty, triumphant return!!!"
"We, your humble servants, are willing to brave any danger and die a myriad deaths for the Uchiha Empire!!!"
