Chapter 1106: The Vandenreich Launches a Full-Scale Attack!
Chapter 1106: The Vandenreich Launches a Full-Scale Attack!
Meanwhile, as the Gotei 13 was deliberating on how to respond to the Quincy assault, the Quincies of the Vandenreich were also taking action.
The members of the Sternritter were gathered before Yhwach’s throne.
Yhwach, who had spent 900 years regaining his heartbeat, 90 years regaining his consciousness, and 9 years fully restoring his power, now sat on his throne, looking at the Quincies before him, who had been granted the power of the Quincy Cross.
“Your Majesty, the Quincy Cross O, who was sent to declare war on the Gotei 13, has been killed. The one responsible is likely to be the Fifth Division Captain, Night God Yecheng.
Our intelligence has already been partially exposed, and if the Research and Development Institute thoroughly analyzes the Star Medallion, this battle could turn against us.”
Haschwalth, Yhwach’s right-hand man and the second-in-command of the Vandenreich, was not only reporting the situation to Yhwach but also warning the others not to underestimate the Shinigami.
“That Duslik was indeed a failure. I should have been the one to declare war in the first place.
We were supposed to give those Shinigami of the Gotei 13 a stern warning, but now we’ve become the laughingstock.”
None of the Sternritter mourned Duslik’s death; instead, they found him to be a disgrace to the Vandenreich.
They were also puzzled. According to Yhwach’s plan, Night God Yecheng should have been tricked into the World of the Living, where he would be unable to return to the Soul Society for a while.
To ensure Yecheng couldn’t return to the Soul Society, Yhwach had dispatched the Quincy Cross J, K, Q, R, and Y to form a hunting team in Hueco Mundo, keeping Yecheng there.
“Yecheng is indeed in Hueco Mundo. The Sternritter I sent there have all perished, but Giselle used the power of Quincy Cross J’s prison to seal off the passages between Hueco Mundo, the World of the Living, and the Soul Society before she died.
The one who killed Duslik was likely a preemptive move set up by Yecheng, not Yecheng himself.”
“Although events have taken an unexpected turn, the overall situation is now set.
Prepare yourselves to take revenge on those Shinigami and restore the former glory of the Quincy. The time has come!”
Hearing Yhwach’s command, the Sternritter present showed signs of excitement, clenching their fists in anticipation.
They had been hiding in the shadows for so long, feeling stifled and oppressed. Now, with Yhwach’s return, the day they had long awaited was finally upon them!
Initially, Yhwach had planned to launch a full-scale attack on the Gotei 13 two days after declaring war.
However, Yecheng’s preparations had disrupted his plans.
The Sternritter could only overpower the Shinigami captains if they could absorb their Bankai.
After all, the Shinigami’s most powerful technique was the release of their Zanpakutō, and the captains’ Bankai were especially formidable.
While Mayuri’s skills might not match those of Urahara, they were still significant.
If Mayuri managed to fully analyze the Star Medallion and develop a countermeasure, the Sternritter might not have the upper hand against the Gotei 13’s captains.
Moreover, Yecheng’s observational and analytical skills had surpassed Yhwach’s expectations.
Giselle’s prison seal might not hold Yecheng in Hueco Mundo for long, so to prevent Yecheng from causing trouble upon his return, Yhwach decided to crush the entire Seireitei before that happened!
Seireitei, Kuchiki Manor.
Ever since learning that the Vandenreich might be lurking in the shadows of the Seireitei, Byakuya Kuchiki had felt a growing unease.
So when he returned home, he hoped Hisana could take some of the household servants and temporarily seek refuge in Rukongai.
Unlike the previous battle with Aizen, this time the main battlefield was the Seireitei, and the Vandenreich's advance was overwhelming. If they launched a full-scale assault, not only the Gotei 13 but the entire Seireitei would be engulfed in war.
Byakuya's greatest concern was for Hisana and her sister. Rukia, as a seated officer, had some means of self-defense, but Hisana was no different from an ordinary person.
Once the Seireitei was plunged into war, Hisana's situation would be extremely dangerous.
"Is the crisis in the Seireitei really that severe? Even the Captain-Commander and Yecheng can't resolve it?"
After helping her husband, who had been busy all day, change out of his captain's haori, Hisana asked with a worried expression.
Hisana rarely discussed work-related matters with Byakuya. Her knowledge of the Gotei 13 mostly came from her sister Rukia and Yecheng's casual conversations.
Because they had known each other for many years, and Yecheng always managed to resolve various crises, Hisana had unknowingly placed Yecheng at the same level as the Captain-Commander.
"This crisis facing the Seireitei is probably the most dangerous one in a thousand years.
Before I came home, Captain Yecheng also instructed me to have you run to the Fifth Division barracks if you encounter any danger.
It seems he had long foreseen that the Seireitei would one day be in danger, so he set up many defensive barriers and seals around his barracks..."
"Boom!"
Before Byakuya could finish his sentence, a massive explosion interrupted him. The ground shook, and panic spread among the Kuchiki household.
No, to be more precise, the entire Seireitei was now gripped by fear and anxiety.
As night fell, the Quincy of the Vandenreich finally launched their full-scale assault on the Gotei 13!
The Kurosaki family, who were still at the Shihoin manor for a family reunion, immediately sprang into action upon sensing the sudden surge of powerful reiatsu in the Seireitei.
Thanks to Yecheng's warning, the Gotei 13 had been on alert, but no one expected the Vandenreich to launch a full-scale attack at this critical moment. As a result, the Gotei 13 was caught off guard.
Compared to the thousands of Shinigami in the Gotei 13, the number of Quincy in the Vandenreich was significantly smaller.
However, quantity did not equate to quality. The members of the Sternritter were generally at or above the level of vice-captains. Facing the ordinary Shinigami of the various divisions, they cut through them like a hot knife through butter.
From the sudden attack by the Vandenreich to the full-scale outbreak of war, only a few minutes had passed, yet the Gotei 13 had already suffered nearly two thousand casualties.
Dead, you heard that right. In just a few minutes, the Gotei 13's Shinigami ranks had been reduced by almost a third.
In a battle of this scale, the casualties on the Shinigami side would, in ancient times, have been described as a complete rout. (End of Chapter)
