Reverse London, Wandenreich.
After a long period of peace, Bazz-B, who had survived, stepped through the gates of the new Silbern.
He, who should have been executed for his defeat in battle, was still a lively Sternritter.
In that battle, Cang Du, though skilled, was only of average strength among the Sternritter; losing him was no big deal.
However, Pernida's death was a huge blow, and combined with the fact that he wasn't the only one defeated, executing everyone would certainly have severely crippled the entire Sternritter.
Under these circumstances, Haschwalth, citing the need to avoid internal strife in the face of a great enemy, saved Bazz-B's life.
And with Gerard's death in battle, Yhwach lost an important fighting force, and Bazz-B's safety factor increased somewhat.
Initially, Bazz-B's submission to Yhwach was out of practical consideration, carrying a sense of compromise and forbearance.
However, after experiencing the life-and-death threat brought by Gerard, his anger towards Yhwach grew stronger and almost irrepressible.
Once the final battle erupted, he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't side with the Shinigami and let that brutal King experience a "barbecue feast"!
Therefore, he helped the remnants of the magicians in Reverse London send out the letter that could lead to the Wandenreich's downfall.
All Quincy who passed by Bazz-B would stop and salute him.
Bazz-B didn't pay much attention to this.
A group of traitors had become his comrades; their respect was truly uninteresting.
These Quincy, who had only appeared in recent years, were actually all former members of Wing Bind.
This agency was once the ruling body of Reverse London, but it no longer exists.
The situation here is quite different from that of the Soul Society; there are no Shinigami or Hollow here.
Men and women with special powers are called magicians and witches, while monsters are called dragons.
Although the names are different, they are essentially the same: special life forms with spiritual power.
The former, in addition to being able to use spiritual power, can also convert their existence between spirit-particle and matter-particle forms.
Simply put, they can live normally in the Human World without Reigai, which is more convenient than Shinigami.
These Quincy were once magicians and witches who gained a chance to live by betraying and submitting.
Under the influence of soul fragments, they transformed into Quincy and also became Yhwach's mobile charging banks.
As long as that Majesty willed it, he could consume them at any time.
Just as he was feeling disdainful, Bazz-B suddenly stopped, a look of surprise on his face.
At the same time, in the top-floor room of Silbern, Yhwach, who had been sitting on his throne with his eyes closed in thought, suddenly opened his eyes.
With his movement, a piercing buzzing sound instantly echoed throughout the entire Wandenreich.
"Beep, beep, beep..."
Urgent and sharp alarm bells suddenly rang out in every corner of the Wandenreich, like a sharp blade cutting through the silent night sky.
Hearing this sound, the Quincy were first stunned, then their expressions became serious.
Everyone's pupils contracted, and their hands quickly rose, beginning to condense spirit bows.
Their eyes were fixed on their surroundings, wary of potential dangers.
This alarm made them realize that an enemy had invaded, and they had to be ready for battle.
Silbern, top-floor side room, Haschwalth suddenly stood up, his eyes flashing with anger.
He knew what this alarm meant—
The Shinigami had come!
This was an alarm system he had personally designed and deployed, aimed at preventing Aozaki's invasion of the Wandenreich from happening again, and to give early warning of the Shinigami's arrival.
Now that the alarm was ringing, it meant that the Shinigami had entered Reverse London in large numbers, and their goal was likely to destroy the Wandenreich.
After the alarm sounded, spatial rifts began to appear in various parts of the Wandenreich, slowly opening to reveal dark holes.
From these holes, figures in black or white uniforms, majestic and spirited, walked out one by one.
These were Shinigami and Arrancar, divided into two parts: one led by the Captains of each Squad, and the other by the Espada.
Like a surging black and white tide, they quickly swept across the entire Wandenreich.
With the appearance of the Shinigami and Arrancar, a powerful Reiatsu also permeated the air.
This Reiatsu was like a continent pressing down, making people feel suffocated.
Just then, a dazzling golden pillar of Reiatsu shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire night.
This golden pillar of Reiatsu undoubtedly represented a powerful existence, and his appearance made the entire situation more tense and dangerous.
In the pillar of light, a man with hair like a hedgehog, his face maniacal, shouted:
"What Quincy King, what Royal Guard, come out!
"Where have you hidden yourselves?"
As he declared war, he waved his arm, unleashing a long, sweeping slash.
The slash extended for thousands of meters, sweeping fiercely and utterly destroying a large area of buildings in front of him!
The Shinigami and Arrancar following him all showed excited expressions.
As expected of the person valued by Captain-Commander, with such immense power, how could the Quincy contend?
Having razed a large area of buildings in an instant, the hedgehog-haired man snorted coldly, wanting to find his opponent.
Suddenly, a voice rang out:
"Mere Shinigami, daring to trespass into the Wandenreich... Perhaps we should commend your audacity."
Hearing such arrogant words, the hedgehog-haired man narrowed his eyes and turned to look.
He saw several figures descending from the sky, landing not far away.
Observing the awestruck gazes of the surrounding Quincy, the hedgehog-haired man felt a slight disappointment:
"Not the Quincy King, nor the Royal Guard?"
"Sternritter, Jerome Guizbatt."
"Sternritter, Berenice Gabrielli."
"Sternritter, Loyd Lloyd."
A burly man with yellow curly hair and a young man with a side-parted short haircut stood to the left and right, while the three-eyed young man in the middle, somewhat resembling Tien Shinhan, remained motionless.
Loyd stared intently at the hedgehog-haired man and asked:
"I remember you're called Zaraki, have you become a Captain now?"
Looking at the three-eyed young man, Zaraki couldn't help but scratch his head:
"I seem to have seen you before."
Hearing this, Loyd narrowed his three eyes, his gaze cold:
"That was my brother, Royd! He died at the hands of your Captain-Commander!!"
Did his elder brother kill his younger brother?
Zaraki was momentarily bewildered.
Due to the information asymmetry and Zaraki's poor memory, a not-so-pleasant misunderstanding thus arose.
But none of that mattered.
Zaraki grew even more excited, simply raising his long sword, a ferocious grin spreading across his lips, revealing a mouthful of white teeth as he said:
"Then I'll be the one to kill you!"
