Chapter 1101: Yecheng: Is This the Extent of Your Power?
Chapter 1101: Yecheng: Is This the Extent of Your Power?
Facing the smug expression of Saint Letter Y, who looked exactly like him, Yecheng maintained his usual calm demeanor.
"Oh, so it's a mimicry ability this time?"
Seeming to dislike Yecheng's forced composure, Saint Letter Y quickly corrected him with a disgruntled look. "It's not mimicry; I've become you!
I am you now, both in power and skill. Whatever you can do, I can do too!"
Feeling the surging spiritual pressure and the myriad of powerful techniques and abilities in his mind, Saint Letter Y was ecstatic.
Such formidable power—no wonder Yecheng was one of the "special combat forces" that Lord Yhwach had them keep a close eye on.
Only after transforming into Yecheng did Saint Letter Y truly understand his strength.
No wonder Saint Letters R and Q were easily dispatched. Even the mightiest among the Stern Ritter, Saint Letter B - Balance Hazard, would be hard-pressed to stand against such power.
With this strength, Saint Letter Y believed he could replace Yecheng and become one of Lord Yhwach's trusted lieutenants, a figure second only to the emperor in the Vandenreich.
"Although it's a bit awkward to interrupt your daydream, could you please hurry up and make your move? I'm in a bit of a rush.
If not for my curiosity about how well your Saint Letter ability can mimic me, I would have attacked you right away."
To be honest, facing an exact replica of himself with a dreamy expression was a peculiar experience for Yecheng.
Interrupted from his fantasies and hearing Yecheng's words, Saint Letter Y sneered. "You can still pretend to be calm for now.
But soon, I'll show you what it feels like to be defeated by your own power!"
With that, Saint Letter Y gripped his sword and charged at Yecheng, his speed several times faster than his usual Santen Kesshun.
He was exhilarated by the speed and quickly began using the sword techniques he had copied from Yecheng, occasionally unleashing powerful spiritual pressure to assert his presence.
"Is that all you've got?"
Watching his doppelgänger use the familiar sword techniques, Yecheng, holding his Zanpakutō against the opponent's blade, asked calmly.
"Still talking big, are you? Aren't you completely on the defensive against my attacks?"
Hearing Saint Letter Y's words, Yecheng didn't bother to explain. Instead, he shook his head and began to push back with greater force.
With the activation of "Kaiōken", Saint Letter Y found himself being thoroughly dominated by Yecheng, eventually being cut down.
To be honest, watching his doppelgänger being bisected was a bit awkward for Yecheng.
Saint Letter Y, even in his last moments, couldn't understand why Yecheng's final move, which he hadn't managed to copy, had been so effective.
The ability to mimic others and create a mirror image is not uncommon in the multiverse of anime.
Yecheng had been curious whether Saint Letter Y's ability could perfectly replicate him.
At first, he thought that Saint Letter Y's ability might even be able to mimic techniques like "Kaiōken", and he had planned to settle the fight with a test of spiritual strength.
However, it turned out that Saint Letter Y's ability was far less effective than he had imagined.
The soul is a unique aspect of each individual, and no matter how skilled one is at imitation, it's impossible to replicate another's soul.
In other words, Yecheng possesses an indestructible soul, while his opponent lacks this advantage. Even if they both used the ultimate Kaioken technique, Yecheng would ultimately be the victor.
However, Yecheng didn't expect his opponent to be so weak. The only things the enemy could copy were his spiritual pressure and his abilities as the Soul Reaper Yecheng.
But upon reflection, it made sense. If the Saint Letter Y's imitation ability were truly that perfect, he could have simply copied Yhwach and secured the second-in-command position in the Vandenreich. Instead, he was reduced to a minor lackey whose name Yecheng couldn't even remember.
The battle seemed to drag on, but from the time Yecheng arrived in Hueco Mundo to the outbreak of the fight, only a little over ten minutes had passed.
Yet, the once-omnipotent Star Cross Knights, including Saint Letter Q, Saint Letter R, and Saint Letter Y, had been successively slain by Yecheng.
Throughout the entire process, Yecheng maintained a relaxed and effortless demeanor, not even bothering to use the initial release of his Zanpakutō.
“Gulp!”
Sun-Sun, Milà Rose, and Apache, who had just rescued Halibel, watched the invincible Yecheng with a mix of awe and fear, swallowing hard.
They remembered how, in their previous three-on-one battle against Saint Letter Q, they had nearly been wiped out.
Even their ultimate technique, Tres Bestias, couldn't hold up for long against Saint Letter R.
Yet, in front of Yecheng, these powerful Quincy were like mere chickens and dogs, being dispatched with ease.
They had always known Yecheng was strong, but the extent of his power now was beyond their comprehension.
Even the formidable Halibel, they thought, might now only require a few strikes to be defeated by this Soul Reaper.
Fortunately, Yecheng was on their side, not their enemy. Otherwise, the outcome would have been catastrophic.
After Saint Letters Q, R, and Y were killed by Yecheng, the remaining Saint Letter J, Giselle, though the strongest overall, was quickly captured by Yecheng. Her ability, Jail, was useless against him.
While Yecheng was using the Reiryoku to heal Halibel, Sun-Sun, Milà Rose, and Apache approached Giselle, who was bound in glowing chains like a mummy, and began to kick and stomp on her.
“Hey, you seemed pretty tough earlier, didn't you? How does it feel to be a prisoner now?”
“You dared to do that to Lady Halibel? Now, I'll make you pay tenfold!”
Yecheng watched as Sun-Sun, Milà Rose, and Apache vented their anger on Giselle, but he didn't intervene. He had spared Giselle's life to extract information about the Vandenreich. As long as she remained alive, he didn't mind Halibel's subordinates getting their revenge.
However, Yecheng had underestimated Giselle's resolve. As the most loyal and military-like member of the Star Cross Knights, she chose to enter a berserk state using Bastard Adam and then self-destruct with the Jail ability, sealing off the entire Hueco Mundo.
Giselle's actions were driven by the desire to prevent Yecheng from quickly returning to Soul Society, as the Vandenreich was likely already launching an attack on the Gotei 13.
