Chapter 1136: Blade Against Yhwach, and the Intersection with Other Worlds (Final)
Yecheng had seen the Captain-Commander use the Bankai ability, Remnant Flame Greatsword - Southern Array of Ten Trillion Deaths, before.
By plunging the blade of the Remnant Flame Greatsword into the ground, the scorching heat of the zanpakutō would awaken the ashes of those who had died by the Captain-Commander’s blade, transforming them into a relentless army of charred skeletons to relentlessly attack anyone deemed an enemy.
As countless withered bones rose from the earth and transformed into charred corpses that charged at Yecheng, he smirked disdainfully.
"Here we are in Ugetsu, and you send a horde of grave-dwelling skeletons to attack me. Do you think this will be effective?
Act Three: Dust to Dust, Ashes to Ashes, All Life Will Ultimately Meet Its End."
A blood-red spiritual pressure erupted from Yecheng, transforming into a gust of dark wind that swept directly toward the countless charred corpses.
The horde of charred skeletons, awakened by the Remnant Flame Greatsword, had not even reached Yecheng when the blood-red spiritual pressure swept over them, reducing them to ashes in an instant!
Seeing this, Yhwach was taken aback. He had planned to use the Remnant Flame Greatsword - Southern Array of Ten Trillion Deaths to buy himself enough time to analyze Yecheng’s abilities.
But now, the countless charred corpses had been instantly obliterated by Yecheng’s single strike, leaving him at a loss.
"The farce should come to an end. Tenfold World King Fist!"
A massive surge of spiritual pressure, like a flood breaking through a dam, erupted from Yecheng, forming a tangible pillar of spiritual pressure that shot skyward.
It effortlessly pierced through the black spiritual pressure canopy Yhwach had created and even shattered the entire sky of the Spirit King Palace.
The Ugetsu space and the fields of red spider lilies gradually dissipated, or more accurately, they all flowed back into the blood-red katana in Yecheng’s hand.
"Act Four: The End of Death Is the Beginning of a New Journey. Red Spider Lilies Falling—Fleeting Beauty!"
As the blood-red line that sliced through the heavens filled Yhwach’s entire field of vision, he launched another "Santoryu" with a fierce glare.
Due to the tampering by Yecheng, Yhwach could no longer absorb the powers of Bambietta and the others.
So this time, Yhwach’s Santoryu targets were his four personal guards and Haschwalth.
With a massive influx of power into his body, and the Ugetsu space dissipating, he could once again control the spiritual particles in the air. Thus, he wielded the Remnant Flame Greatsword in one hand and the Quincy Cross in the other.
He simultaneously released the Remnant Flame Greatsword - Northern Array of Ashen Heaven and Earth and the Spirit Particle Concentration - Quincy Cross!
However, these two ultimate powers of the Shinigami and Quincy, when colliding with the blood-red line that seemed to slice through the heavens, did not last long before being torn apart.
The entire Spirit King Palace was split in two by Yecheng’s "Fleeting Beauty"!
As Yhwach used the "Outer Shell Shizukana" to resist the blood-red slash that was rapidly approaching him, his face showed a look of confusion and disbelief.
He couldn’t understand why, even though he had changed the process in his premonitory dream, he still ended up with the same result.
Yecheng’s "Fleeting Beauty", condensed with the strongest spiritual pressure, was originally meant to bring about the decay and death of all life.
But as a substitute for the Spirit King, Yhwach had the setting that he could only be defeated by the combined powers of humans, Shinigami, Hollows, Quincy, and Fullbringers.
So, fortunately, Yhwach did not die. However, unfortunately, just as in the original plan, his defeat made him the Spirit King’s substitute, becoming the new foundation of the three realms.
Though Yhwach was initially incomplete, during the final Santoryu, he absorbed the Spirit King’s heart, Gerard, and the Spirit King’s left hand, Penida, making him more perfect.
After the war, the Spirit King Palace and the Seireitei needed to be rebuilt, and the Zero Division once again extended an invitation to Yecheng, who unfortunately declined once more.
Ichigo and the main party returned to the living world, and Yecheng and his companions rejoined the Thirteen Court Guard Squads.
The former Captain-Commander, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, had made significant contributions to the Soul Society. After retiring from the Thirteen Court Guard Squads, he became the highest leader of the Central 46 Chambers.
Aizen, due to his significant efforts during the Thousand-Year Blood War, had his original 20,000-year sentence reduced to 2,000 years.
However, Aizen seemed to have no intention of serving even these 2,000 years. When the Central 46 Chambers tried to take him back, they found that he had vanished without a trace.
The Central 46 Chambers initially wanted to hold Yecheng accountable since he had vouched for Aizen, but due to Yecheng's contributions to saving the Spirit King Palace and the three realms, they had no leverage against him.
With Aizen and Yhwach defeated, Yecheng enjoyed a rather idyllic life over the next few years. He spent his days either doing nothing or pretending to do nothing.
One day, he would have a few drinks with Rangiku, and perhaps enjoy some perks. The next, he would study swordsmanship with Hana and learn some "flower arrangement" from her. The following day, he would research anatomy with Sui-Feng. The day after that, and so on...
In short, Yecheng was living a very comfortable life.
However, just as he thought that with all the major threats defeated, his peaceful days would continue indefinitely, the Zero Division's Heavenly Pillar Carriage once again descended upon the Seireitei.
The Zero Division had come to the Seireitei because the Spirit King Palace was experiencing another abnormal situation.
When Yecheng was reluctantly called to the First Division by Shunsui Kyōraku, the other captains of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads had already gathered.
Seeing Yecheng arrive, Byakuya Kuchiki looked at him and the others with a serious expression and said, "Everyone, a new crisis may be upon us. This time, it's not just a threat to the Spirit King Palace or the Soul Society, but to the entire world."
Hearing Byakuya's words, the assembled captains of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads grew serious, while Yecheng was left utterly bewildered.
As far as he knew, the biggest threats in the Shinigami world were Aizen and Yhwach. Could there be other major threats beyond them? Or was this crisis coming from another world? But how could that be possible...
As if to confirm Yecheng's thoughts, Byakuya continued, "Recently, Aizen used Kyōka Suigetsu to approach the current Spirit King. We don't know what he did, but by the time we realized, he had already left.
Since the Spirit King was unharmed, we didn't give it much thought at first. However, in recent days, the current Spirit King, Yhwach, has suddenly manifested and taunted us, saying that other worlds are gradually aligning with ours!
The reason is that a few days ago, Aizen borrowed the power of the Three Realms' Wedge from Yhwach. Yhwach, enjoying the misfortune of the Shinigami, readily lent Aizen his power. Aizen then stole the Hōgyoku from Kisuke Urahara.
The Hōgyoku can grant the owner's deepest desires. Since Aizen learned from Yecheng that there are other worlds beyond this one, he has been intensely curious about them.
With the power of Yhwach's Three Realms' Wedge and the Hōgyoku's ability to fulfill desires, this has led to the current situation.
Upon hearing the full story, Yecheng was instantly overwhelmed. He never expected Aizen to be so impatient and take matters into his own hands!
If other worlds were aligning, it meant that Yecheng might have the chance to meet his counterparts or even his harem from other dimensions!
