Boom!!!
Accompanying a dark black thunderclap that tore through the polar night, the vast central plaza of the Ice Palace instantly endured a heavy pressure sufficient to make the spatial structure groan.
Ice shards splashed, and wild winds howled.
The supreme ruler of the Wandenreich, the progenitor of the Quincy, Yhwach, landed directly in front of Uchiha Tobirama like a world-destroying monarch stepping out of ancient mythology, without any buffer. The wide, pitch-black cloak behind him danced violently in the turbulent airflow, and the solid ice layer formed by freezing reishi under his feet began to spread terrifying, spiderweb-like cracks outward with him as the center.
"Your Majesty..."
Bambietta Basterbine, who was held in Uchiha Tobirama's arms and had been flushed with excitement, felt her delicate body tremble violently upon sensing this familiar, desperate pressure. A hint of extreme horror instinctively flashed through her dark red eyes; it was an absolute fear of this progenitor, engraved deep within the genes of all Quincy.
However, after trembling for only half a second, the former Sternritter girl acted like a cat seeking shelter, burying her cheek even more firmly into Tobirama's dark gold robe, as if as long as she clung to this man, she would have nothing to fear, even when facing the "God" who created her.
The other three members of the girl group—Candice Catnipp, Meninas McAllon, and Liltotto Lamperd—similarly showed no intention of returning to their old master, instead crowding obediently at Tobirama's feet, using their actions to demonstrate their now completely surrendered stance.
"A group of disgusting traitors."
Yhwach's eyes, filled with the vicissitudes of time, swept coldly over the four women on the ground. There was no anger in his gaze, only the extreme coldness of looking at dead objects. Subsequently, his gaze locked onto Uchiha Tobirama, who was leaning against the wreckage of the throne with one hand in his pocket, like an unsheathed sharp blade.
"Silver-haired madman, I must admit, you do possess the brute force to overturn this world. To be able to trample my elite subordinates like toys in such a short time, your existence has seriously interfered with my grand blueprint for reshaping the Three Realms."
Yhwach's voice echoed like muffled thunder over the empty ice plaza.
Facing this condescending charity and judgment, Uchiha Tobirama didn't even bother to raise his eyelids. He casually picked up a grape peeled by a maid, tossed it into his mouth, chewed twice, and then glanced forward with a look of extreme disdain.
"Are you done, long-bearded rat?"
Tobirama's voice carried an arrogance that was lazy to the bone: "I thought you gutter rats hiding in the shadows could come up with some fresh tricks. Turns out, after beating the small ones, the old one jumps out. What, you felt I didn't kill enough, so you specifically ran here to deliver your head?"
"Presumptuous!!!"
The highest-ranking Knight, Haschwalth, who followed behind Yhwach, shouted angrily, his palm already pressed against the hilt of his sword.
But Yhwach raised his hand extremely roughly, stopping his subordinate's impulse. A cruel, smug sneer slowly curled on his face, which was covered in a thick black beard.
"Ignorant fool. Do you think you can do whatever you want in this world just by relying on some freakish strength?"
Yhwach slowly pulled a silver disc with a cold metallic luster from the inside of his black military uniform. In the center of the disc was engraved the five-pointed star cross emblem representing the Wandenreich.
This was the ultimate cheat item [Medallion] that the Quincy had exhausted the wisdom of the entire race to create in order to thoroughly suppress the Shinigami!
"I have already seen through your fighting style. Your destructive power, comparable to a Vicious Beast, and that strange fire and thunder, are nothing more than some extremely massive unknown energy system."
Yhwach lifted the Medallion in his hand extremely conceitedly, aiming the cross emblem at Uchiha Tobirama in front of him.
"This Medallion can even forcibly strip away the 'Bankai' of the Gotei 13 Captain Commander, which is capable of burning the heavens and boiling the seas. No matter how strong your power is, it is ultimately just a manifestation of energy!"
"Now, in front of me, lose your proud claws and teeth, and become a useless waste with no power to bind a chicken!"
"Deprive!!!"
Boom!
Accompanied by Yhwach's wild roar, the originally quiet Medallion suddenly erupted with an extremely piercing blue-white ghostly light!
A huge black reishi vortex formed with a bang in front of the disc. This vortex seemed to connect to a black hole of absolute nothingness, releasing an extremely tyrannical, extremely greedy devouring traction force that directly locked onto the energy source within Tobirama's body!
The suction was so strong that even the huge ice blocks on the surrounding ruins were forcibly torn apart and sucked into it, turning into powder.
The villain attempted to use a rule-based weapon designed for Shinigami to subdue a Realm Lord who controlled a multi-dimensional Universe!
"Oh? Want to suck away my power?"
Feeling the strange traction force covering his body, Uchiha Tobirama was slightly stunned for a moment, and then, a burst of extremely arrogant, mocking, and wanton laughter erupted violently from his chest!
"Hahahaha... Hahahaha!!!"
Tobirama's laughter made the surrounding air tremble violently. He didn't even adopt any defensive posture, but instead opened his arms forward in cooperation.
"Fine! Since you, this frog in the well, are so eager for my power, I will be merciful today and treat you to a meal!"
"As long as this piece of junk can hold it, you can take as much of my power as you want!!!"
The moment his voice fell, a flash of extremely dangerous and tyrannical color appeared in the depths of Tobirama's eyes.
He did not resist, but instead actively and very deliberately tore open a crack in the "Ten-Tails Origin Chakra" and Sage arts, which were tightly locked by his Perfect Sage Body, following the traction force—a crack invisible to the naked eye, a thousand times thinner than a strand of hair!
It was just a tiny bit of energy residue that leaked out!
"Hum—!!!"
The Medallion, which had been greedily absorbing, emitted an extremely harsh and shrill cry from the entire disc in the first Planck time it touched this high-dimensional energy!
What is happening?!
Yhwach's face, which had been wearing a sneer, instantly stiffened. He felt with extreme horror that what was pouring in through the Medallion was not Spiritual Pressure that could be parsed or tamed at all!
It was an ultimate Divine Power that was extremely heavy, extremely ancient, and violent enough to completely crush the underlying logic of the entire Shinigami Universe!
It was as if a tiny ant opened its mouth, trying to swallow a whole star that was undergoing a supernova explosion in one gulp!
"Crack, crack, crack... Crash!!!"
Under the gaze of Yhwach's suddenly constricted pupils, this invincible Medallion, which gathered the highest technology of the Wandenreich and was touted as being able to plunder all power in the world, had its indestructible special metal surface emerge with dense, shocking crimson cracks in less than half a second!
The layer of this mixed energy of the Ten-Tails and Sage arts was simply too high, and the volume was simply too large, so large that the rule-container of this world could not bear it at all!
"No! Your Majesty, throw it away!!!"
Haschwalth on the side was the first to notice the energy expansion that was about to destroy the world. The expression of extreme shock finally appeared on his always elegant face, and he roared in terror.
However, it was too late.
"Bang!!!"
A terrifying loud noise that could make a deaf person's eardrums bleed again!
The Medallion, under the infusion of high-dimensional power that exceeded its bearing limit by billions of times, exploded into a pile of powder smaller than dust right in front of the Quincy progenitor!
The violent backlash energy exploded in Yhwach's hand like a miniature nuclear bomb!
"Ugh!"
Caught off guard, even an existence as strong as Yhwach was blown away by this terrifying energy explosion! His burly body flew backward for dozens of meters in mid-air, his feet plowing two deep gullies on the hard ice surface, until he smashed a huge ice pillar, only then barely stabilizing his figure.
A drop of charred blood dripped down from the web of his right hand, which had been blown into torn flesh.
His proud rule-based cheat not only failed to suck away a trace of the opponent's power, but because it "ate too much," it exploded itself on the spot!
"How... possible..."
Yhwach stared fixedly at his bleeding right hand, then glanced at the Medallion that had turned into powder, his pupils filled with unprecedented absurdity and disbelief.
This was a Divine Artifact that could perfectly accommodate even Yamamoto Genryusai's Zanka no Tachi!
What kind of indescribable, vast Universe was contained within that silver-haired man's body?!
"Oh my, what a pity."
Across the plaza, Uchiha Tobirama stood in place unharmed. He shook his head in extreme disappointment, a mocking sneer curling at the corner of his mouth that struck at the heart.
"I just gave away one-millionth of the leftovers, and your broken bowl shattered."
"With such a small capacity, you dare to try to devour the starry sky? Not only are you a weakling, but you're also a bumpkin who hasn't seen the world."
Extreme humiliation! Unrestrained mockery!
Listening to the harsh laughter, and watching the girl knights who originally belonged to him now looking up at the silver-haired man with adoring eyes, the anger in Yhwach's chest finally could no longer be suppressed, like an active volcano that had been dormant for millions of years!
As the "God" who created the Quincy, he had never suffered such great humiliation!
"Good... very good... Arrogant alien, you have successfully angered me."
Yhwach slowly straightened his body and ripped off the black cloak that had been blown into tatters. On his rough face, all expressions were replaced by an extreme, pathological, absolute coldness.
"Since conventional means cannot reach your essence."
"Then, I can only use these eyes to skip the meaningless battle process and directly grant you the final result of 'death' on this timeline!"
Hum!!!
As Yhwach's extremely cold words fell, a breath of despair ten times, a hundred times stronger than before, erupted from his body!
In the center of his deep pupils, the pupils, which originally only had two, began a crazy fission! Three, four... countless compound eyes like precision gears rotated rapidly in his eye sockets, emitting a terrifying ghostly light capable of tampering with the causal laws of the entire Universe!
[The Almighty], catalyzed by extreme anger, ushered in a completely unreserved, full activation!
"In these eyes of mine, the future is like countless grains of sand scattered in the desert."
The space around Yhwach began to twist strangely, and his voice seemed to come from countless parallel time and space simultaneously, carrying a creepy echo.
"I can not only see the trajectory of every grain of sand."
"I can even pick out a grain of sand that I am most satisfied with from this sea of billions of grains of sand at will, and then..."
He slowly drew the Quincy cross sword from his waist, and the wide blade was wrapped in extremely dense black reishi.
"Forcibly pull it to this very moment!"
Yhwach's gaze locked onto Uchiha Tobirama's figure. In the field of vision of his crazily rotating compound eyes, countless future branches regarding Tobirama were flashing rapidly.
He saw the future where Tobirama countered with thunder; he saw the future where Tobirama dodged with space Ninjutsu; he even saw the future where Tobirama shattered the Ice Palace with one punch.
However, these futures were all ruthlessly erased and skipped by him!
"Found it."
The corner of Yhwach's mouth finally cracked into an extremely cruel and fanatical arc again.
In the deepest part of his [The Almighty] vision, which had exhausted countless possibilities, he finally found an extremely weak future branch with a probability of zero!
In that future, Uchiha Tobirama, due to some extremely minor negligence, was luckily pierced through the chest by the sharp sword in his hand!
"It is this moment!"
"Causal Tampering · Ultimate Judgment!!!"
Yhwach did not rush towards Tobirama; he didn't even swing a Sword Qi.
He just stood hundreds of meters away, gripped the hilt of his sword with both hands, and fiercely, extremely forcefully... stabbed a sword at the empty air in front of him, where there was not even a speck of dust!
This sword had no momentum to cut through space, nor any light and shadow to tear through the sky.
This was a pure conceptual attack! It was to directly cross the long river of time, forcibly graft and overlay the illusory [result] of "being pierced in the future" onto the current [reality]!
No process needed, only the outcome granted!
This was the ultimate cheat from the original "Bleach", the most unsolvable, most shameless one that made countless powerhouses drink hatred!
At the same moment Yhwach stabbed that sword.
Uchiha Tobirama, who had been keeping one hand in his pocket and looking playful, felt his pupils shrink slightly.
"Chirp!!!"
A piercing, hair-raising sound of flesh tearing suddenly sounded in the dead silent plaza.
There was no collision of Spiritual Pressure, no contact of any weapon.
Under the horrified gaze of Bambietta and the other girl group members.
A fatal gap, half a foot long, suddenly appeared out of thin air on the chest of Uchiha Tobirama's dark gold robe!
Immediately after!
On that Perfect Sage Body, which was touted as indestructible and could even ignore the explosion of the Medallion, right in the center of the chest, where the heart was located!
Extremely weirdly, a fatal slash wound, deep enough to see the bone, as if forcibly pierced by some peerless sharp blade, bloomed out of thin air!
"Puff—!!!"
A flash of extremely piercing bright red blood spurted out from the wound that appeared out of thin air, sprinkling a bleak rain of blood in mid-air.
Tobirama's body swayed slightly, and his right hand, which had been maintaining a lazy posture, finally pulled out of his pocket and covered his chest, from which blood was constantly gushing out.
"Mas... Master?!!!"
Bambietta, Candice, and the other girls were so scared that their faces turned pale, and they let out extremely sharp wails. They simply couldn't understand, why, when the two sides were hundreds of meters apart, when there was no trajectory of any attack, why would that man, who was as invincible as a god, suddenly suffer such a fatal injury?!
"Hahahaha Hahahaha!!!"
Seeing the splashing blood, seeing Tobirama finally covering his chest, Yhwach let out the most hearty, most arrogant, and triumphant laughter of his life!
The long sword in his hand pointed far ahead, and his split pupils were full of unyielding arrogance.
"Do you see it! This is my power! This is The Almighty that transcends all dimensions!"
"No matter how strong your body is, no matter how much your speed exceeds the speed of light."
"In front of the absolute judgment of causality, even a god must obediently bow to fate!"
Yhwach strode forward, as if he had already seen the scene of this otherworldly emperor falling at his feet.
"Your heart has been completely shattered by me in the future."
"Now, take your ridiculous arrogance and fall into the endless Hell!"
