Chapter 1105: Captain Yecheng, Our Tactical Genius
Determining who is stronger between Yhwach and Aizen is a tough call for Yecheng, as he hasn't actually seen Yhwach in action.
By the show's setup, Yhwach is undoubtedly the more formidable opponent and the final boss of Bleach.
However, in terms of charisma, Yhwach can't hold a candle to Aizen. Aizen represents endless possibilities, while Yhwach has his limits, but Aizen does not.
"According to the Captain-Commander's previous orders, my main body is currently stationed in Hueco Mundo and has already engaged the enemy.
While I can't discuss Yhwach's strength in detail, I can tell you that the reason this battle is challenging is because the Vandenreich, besides Yhwach himself, has a unit called the Schutzstaffel.
The one who invaded the First Division earlier was a member of the Schutzstaffel. Yhwach has granted these individuals the power of the Quincies' Sacred Texts, and there are over thirty of them."
Upon hearing this intelligence, the Captains present fell silent. Even Aizen, who had previously doubted Yecheng's words, was now stunned.
He had just said that Yecheng's opponent was on par with an Espada, and now Yecheng was telling him that there were over thirty such opponents!
After the battle with Aizen, the Visored returned to Soul Society, and even with Ichigo and Urahara's forces, they could barely muster thirty Captain-level fighters.
Even if they included the Lieutenants, the numbers would only just match up. But could the Lieutenants stand against Espada-level Quincy?
Only a few exceptional Lieutenants could manage it; most would struggle.
"While the Schutzstaffel has a large number of members, their strengths vary widely. Some are stronger than Captains, while others are on par with Lieutenants.
Through my encounters with several of them, I have gathered some information about their abilities.
First, the Quincies have two blood abilities: Blut Vene and Blut Arterie. These abilities enhance their defensive and offensive capabilities, respectively, but they cannot be used simultaneously.
Second, they have a form called Vollständig, which is similar to our Bankai. In this form, they can significantly amplify their spiritual pressure and power.
Third, each member of the Schutzstaffel has been granted a letter of the Quincies' Sacred Texts, ranging from A to Z, with varying strengths.
Fourth, and most importantly, the reason I find them formidable as enemies is that they can absorb and use our Bankai. In simpler terms, when facing them, we cannot use our Bankai."
As Yecheng revealed this wealth of information, the Captains were left speechless.
They had never even seen a Quincy from the Vandenreich, yet Yecheng had gathered such detailed intelligence!
It was a testament to his sharp senses and exceptional analytical skills.
"The ability to absorb Bankai? The Captains were initially amazed by Yecheng's efficiency and capabilities, but the more astute among them quickly grasped the critical point of his statement."
The abilities of Blut Vene, Blut Arterie, Vollständig, and the Quincies' Sacred Texts already proved that the Schutzstaffel members were on par with or even surpassed Captains in strength.
Facing such powerful enemies, using Bankai in battle was a necessity.
But now Yecheng was saying that these Quincies could steal their Bankai. How were they supposed to fight under such conditions?
A captain of the Soul Reapers who doesn't use Bankai—can they still be called a captain?
"Regarding their ability to absorb Bankai, I haven't experienced it firsthand, but the Substitute Soul Reaper, Ichigo Kurosaki, is almost at the Soul Society. You can ask him when he arrives.
The tool they use to absorb Bankai is this Star Badge. If possible, I hope Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi can analyze it. If we can find a way to counter it quickly, that would be best.
After all, you are the greatest scientist in the Soul Society. No one else can do this job except you."
Mayuri, who had initially been somewhat displeased with Yecheng assigning him work, was momentarily taken aback by Yecheng's words. Under the approving gaze, he took the Quincy Star Badge from Yecheng's hand.
"Give me three days, and I will develop a device to counter this Star Badge."
He, Mayuri Kurotsuchi, was indeed the greatest scientist in the entire Soul Society. How could someone like Kisuke Urahara even compare?
Captain Yecheng of the Fifth Division had a keen eye for talent.
The headquarters of the First Division had collapsed, so the captains' meeting was temporarily moved to the Fifth Division, where Yecheng was stationed.
At the captains' meeting, the Central 46 Chambers ordered the Thirteen Court Guard Squads to enter a state of maximum alert for the near future. They also inquired about Yecheng's current situation in the Human World and Hueco Mundo.
Halfway through the meeting, Ichigo Kurosaki and his friends, along with his father Isshin Kurosaki and mother Masaki Kurosaki, arrived at the Soul Society.
Since Yecheng had already informed the Thirteen Court Guard Squads, they were not surprised by Ichigo's arrival and even allowed him and his friends to attend the captains' meeting.
When Ichigo and his friends saw Yecheng standing to the side, eyes fixed on his nose, they were shocked.
According to their information, Yecheng should have been in Hueco Mundo with Soifon. Even without considering the time it took to defeat the enemies, Yecheng could not have returned to the Soul Society faster than they did.
Thinking about this, Ichigo immediately drew his Zanpakutō and pointed it at Yecheng. "Who are you!
Yecheng should be in Hueco Mundo right now. You can't possibly be him!"
The main reason for Ichigo's reaction was the little girl perched on his shoulder.
Nel had just told him that among the intruders in Hueco Mundo, there was one who could mimic and transform into others. Naturally, Ichigo assumed that the Yecheng in front of him was that person.
He had seen the Yecheng in the Human World, whose overwhelming power made it impossible for him to be an impostor.
The individual in front of him, while having the same demeanor and spiritual pressure as Yecheng, did not even have a Zanpakutō.
"Kid, why are you always doing this? You doubted your mother before, and now you're doubting me.
Thinking really isn't your strong suit. Don't doubt my identity. The Yecheng you encountered in the Human World was my true form.
The one you see in front of you now is a Kido body I developed, using shadows and spirit particles as a medium. You can think of it as a physical clone."
Before Ichigo and his friends arrived at the Soul Society, the other captains of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads were also curious about Yecheng's current clone. Captain Unohana of the Fourth Division was particularly intrigued and immediately conducted a thorough examination.
Afterward, she marveled repeatedly, praising Yecheng as the most outstanding Kido genius in the Soul Society in a thousand years.
