Chapter 27
The Future of the Quincy
Is it spatial teleportation?
But that's also unlikely.
The Unknown Empire is a highly enclosed space, and it is difficult to leave even with spatial abilities unless Yhwach's permission is granted or the Sun Gate is used.
Especially after Ishida Muneaki's lineage fled the Empire many years ago, the Empire set up an even stronger seal.
But right now, she is undoubtedly in the outside world.
This refreshing sea breeze and vast ocean are scenes that could never exist in an invisible empire.
"This is another world."
Beltz watched as Litoto walked to the beach, so he followed and stood behind her.
"Another world?"
Litoto couldn't quite understand what Beltz was saying.
Is it Soul Society, a world outside of the real world and Hueco Mundo?
but……
I'm afraid it's not just that.
Because she couldn't even sense the presence of spirit particles in the air!
This is a world without spiritual particles, entirely composed of material particles!
Even in the present world, it's just that the spiritual particle environment is sparse, not that there are no spiritual particles at all.
But in this world, there are indeed no spiritual particles!
"What... is going on?"
Litoto's mouth dropped open, her eyes filled with shock.
"I don't know the specifics either, because I only arrived here yesterday."
Beltz wasn't lying; he really did arrive here yesterday.
But then he's going to lie to people.
"In short, I was 'chosen'; someone showed me the future of Quincy."
Beltz said softly, "And this world is the refuge that person chose for me."
"Chosen... The future of the Quincy... A refuge?"
Litoto murmured, "Who is it?"
"I don't know either. I've only met him once, and he said we'd meet again when the time is right."
Beltz continued, "That person was amazing. He not only gave me the ability to travel the world, but also showed me our future."
It wasn't until the word "future" was mentioned again that Litoto realized what was going on.
She turned around and looked up at Beltz's face.
"What kind of future?"
"Death," Beltz said. "In the future, Yhwach used 'Saint' to drain the lives of all of us."
"Sainthood...?"
"The sleeping Quincy king spent nine hundred years regaining his heartbeat, ninety years regaining his sanity, and nine years regaining his power."
"The so-called sanctification is Yhwach's method of forcibly reclaiming power. It is also a kind of 'redistribution of power.' He implants fragments of his soul into your bodies by giving you sacred writing."
"At that time, all the abilities you have developed, as well as the power and experience you have gained afterward, will be taken back by him when needed."
"I think you all understand this."
It is indeed known to many that Yhwach can absorb the power of the Quincy.
Once Yhwach is fully awakened, he will immediately reclaim the power of all the "Unclean".
But in their view, Yhwach only absorbs the power of those who are not pure-blooded Quincy.
Litoto calmed down and carefully considered Beltz's words.
Beltz continued, "Yohbach never saw us as human beings. In his eyes, we were indeed his companions, but being his companions meant giving our lives for him."
"He is someone who cannot survive without absorbing souls, and he is also someone who wants to end the old world, including the Sternritter, and even the Royal Guard and Haschwalth. All of us Quincy are products of this old world."
"All of us... will be absorbed by him once we are no longer of any use!"
"This is... the future you see?"
"Yes."
"You really believe that?"
"I have to believe it," Beltz said seriously. "The old men of the Empire know these things to some extent. For example, Robert Agutron. You can ask him whether Yhwach is really that kind of person."
"Robert..."
"Haswald is also well aware that, besides him, there is Askin Nakruvar. Although he is not one of the Quincy from a thousand years ago, he is very perceptive and has already noticed this."
"Yohbach would simply discard those he didn't need, but what they didn't expect was that Yohbach actually didn't need anyone."
"In the end, even those who survived the first holiness will be holinessed by Yhwach."
"How ridiculous! The Quincy didn't perish at the hands of the Grim Reaper, but instead died at the hands of their own emperor."
Beltz gave a wry smile: "As for us, we were all used by Saint Yhwach to support his personal guard."
"Only you, Giselle, Bazzby, and a few others survived, but some of their power was taken away from them."
"Did I survive?" Litoto asked, somewhat dazed.
in fact……
She is also a very perceptive person.
She also vaguely sensed some problems with Yhwach, so she thought that even if a war were to break out, it would be better not to fight to the death.
If you can avoid it, then avoid it.
In particular... it's best not to use your full strength, and not to use up your Holy Body.
But hearing Beltz's words at this moment, she was still somewhat bewildered.
"no."
Beltz shook his head: "Although you survived the Apostleship, you were not convinced and went to fight Yhwach. You and Giselle fought against Yhwach, and Bazzby fought against Haschward. In the end, you were all defeated and killed."
Although Litoto and Giselle didn't actually die in the end, Beltz told a little lie at that moment.
"That's more like something Bazzby and I would do," Litoto clicked her tongue.
Although she appears to be a good-tempered person, she is actually very vengeful.
It was as if Pepe ambushed her, and then Litoto swallowed her whole in one gulp.
Even though she knew she was no match for Yhwach, she still went to the Spirit King's Palace to settle scores with him.
In that case, what Beltz said might very well be true.
Did Robert and Jaskin also notice this?
Robert was one of the oldest members of the Sternritter, one of the earliest followers of Yhwach, and also one of the earliest Sternritter. Given his seniority, it was indeed possible that he knew these things.
And Yaskin...
Did that guy actually notice something too?
She is also a Sternritter, but she is a newcomer who hasn't been with the group for long, so she knows very little about her.
When I get back, I'll need to consult some relevant literature.
She then looked at Beltz.
"So...you want to betray the Unseen Empire?"
