Chapter 1107: Our Captain Yecheng Is the Kindest Person in the World!
Chapter 1107: Our Captain Yecheng Is the Kindest Person in the World!
The Soul Reaper camp suffered such heavy casualties in such a short time for two main reasons: the overwhelming disparity in strength and the Hollow Empire's Quincy's deep understanding of the Gotei 13.
It's no joke; they've been lurking in the shadows of Soul Society, observing the Gotei 13 for nearly a thousand years. They know every detail about the Soul Reapers, from the type of underwear they wear to the vulnerabilities in the Gotei 13's defenses. How could they not know these things?
Bambietta Basterbine, the Quincy of the Saint Word E (Explode), appeared in the 7th Division area and began a brutal massacre of the division members. She was then confronted by Captain "Doggy" (a nickname for the captain).
Zan Zan, the Quincy of the Saint Word I (Iron), appeared in the 10th Division area and, within a short time, caused numerous deaths among the division members. He then faced off against Captain Hyorinmaru and Vice-Captain Rangiku.
Mask de Masculine, the Quincy of the Saint Word S (Superstar), appeared in the 6th Division area and immediately engaged in battle with Renji Abarai.
Haschwalth, the Quincy of the Saint Word F (Fear), found Byakuya Kuchiki, who was initially planning to escort Momo Hinamori to a safe location. To buy time for Momo, Byakuya stayed behind to face Haschwalth.
The members of the Star Cross Knights seemed to have planned their targets from the start, each finding their specific opponents. Upon closer inspection, it was clear that the Quincy they targeted were almost all Soul Reapers who had achieved Bankai.
For example, Renji Abarai, a vice-captain, was also singled out by the Star Cross Knights despite his rank, as he had achieved Bankai.
This situation unfolded across all the divisions of the Gotei 13. Although Yecheng had already eliminated several members of the Star Cross Knights, the number of Quincy still outnumbered the Bankai-possessing Soul Reapers in the Gotei 13.
As for the Star Cross Knights who didn't have a Bankai-wielding opponent, they began a ruthless slaughter of the regular Soul Reapers in Soul Society.
Mina Tsubasa, the Quincy of the Saint Word P (Power).
Giselle Gewelle, the Quincy of the Saint Word T (Thunderbolt).
Liltotto Lamperd, the Quincy of the Saint Word G (Glutton).
These three—two tall and powerful women and one cute but sharp-tongued girl—appeared in the 5th Division area. Mina and Giselle were both tall, powerful women. Mina, with her pink hair, appeared calm and composed, while Giselle, with her green waves, was quick to anger.
Liltotto, a blonde girl with a cute and innocent appearance, was actually quite venomous.
These four, along with Bambietta, were the only female Quincy in the Star Cross Knights, and they were known as the "Lady Knights." Because they were close friends, they often acted together. This time, Bambietta went to the 7th Division area, while the other three, uninterested in the regular Soul Reapers, headed to the 5th Division to see what made Yecheng, whom Yhwach held in such high regard, so special.
Compared to the other divisions, the 5th Division suffered the least damage during the Hollow Empire's attack. When the Empire invaded, Yecheng issued an order: if the enemy was a regular Quincy, engage them. But if the enemy was wearing a white hooded cloak with a Star Cross emblem, don't hesitate—run back to the barracks.
Fleeing before the battle is strictly prohibited in the Gotei 13, but Yecheng couldn't care less about such rules.
In his view, the power gap between regular Soul Reapers and the Star Cross Knights was simply too vast. Engaging in combat would only result in a futile death.
If you're dead, what does it matter whether you followed the rules or not?
Rather than die in vain, it was better to preserve one's life for more valuable endeavors in the future.
That's why Yecheng allowed his Fifth Division members to retreat to the protective barrier of their division when faced with danger.
Thanks to Yecheng's concern for his subordinates and the defensive spells he had set up in advance, the Fifth Division suffered minimal casualties.
Mina and her companions had encountered Soul Reapers along the way, but each time, the Fifth Division members would turn and flee before they could even act or speak.
"These Fifth Division Soul Reapers are utterly useless! They are a disgrace to the Gotei 13!
If their subordinates are like this, their captain must be a weak and spineless coward."
Giselle shook her wavy green hair, watching the Fifth Division Soul Reapers who, upon seeing them, fled using Shunpo as if they had encountered dinosaurs. Her expression turned displeased.
They had come to the Fifth Division to see just how formidable Yecheng Yeshen was, and they had little interest in ordinary grunts.
The Fifth Division Soul Reapers' immediate flight upon seeing them thoroughly enraged Giselle, who had a short temper.
Just as she was about to chase after one of the fleeing Soul Reapers, a cold female voice rang out from the sky nearby.
"Flower Plum, Bloom—!"
Several soccer-sized fireballs rained down from above, though Giselle managed to block them with a surge of lightning. The attack, however, halted her advance.
Upon seeing the attacker, Giselle noticed a petite female Soul Reaper with a lieutenant's badge on her shoulder.
"I demand that you take back your words. Our Fifth Division captain, Yecheng Yeshen, is the kindest person in this world. I will not allow anyone to defame him!"
Momo Hinamori was originally a fan of Aizen, but due to a series of events, her most admired and revered person had become Yecheng.
To Momo, Yecheng was both powerful and gentle. Compared to other captains, he cared more about the safety of his subordinates, which was why he had set up numerous protective barriers and defensive spells in the division barracks and issued those orders.
The Quincy woman in front of her had just dismissed Yecheng's considerate actions as a sign of weakness, which was a direct insult to her idol.
The fury of a devoted fan is terrifying. Even though she knew she might not be a match for the enemy, Momo Hinamori decided to act to protect her comrades and defend Yecheng's dignity.
"Hmph, after wandering for so long, we finally found someone worth our attention. But are you, a mere lieutenant, really confident you can stop the three of us?"
As Giselle finished speaking, two Sacred Extinction Arrows suddenly shot toward Mina and Liltotto's feet, and the two women quickly appeared on either side of Momo. (End of Chapter)
