"Then let's come to the Spirit King's Palace."

The words fell.

Ishida Uryu's figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

Kurosaki Ichigo was left sitting on the ground, stunned, staring intently at the spot in the sky where Uryu had originally stood.

It was as if his phantom still lingered there.

......

The Shiba family's residence.

Ichigo Kurosaki, panting heavily, called out, "Big Sister Kukaku, could you take me to the Soul King's Palace?"

Shiba Kukaku put down his pipe.

"why?"

"I'm going to save Ishida."

Ichigo Kurosaki clenched his fist without hesitation.

"No matter the reason, as a friend, I have to save him!"

Shiba Kukaku exhaled a smoke ring, his expression grave: "With your current abilities, do you even have the qualifications? You can't even beat Ishida Uryu."

"Not to mention the leader of that invisible empire, Yhwach."

She shook her head.

"Stay in Soul Society, Sasuke will handle everything."

“I know he’s strong, and I know he can solve everything.”

Kurosaki Ichigo gripped the sword tightly in his hand, his face filled with a mixture of frustration and regret.

"However, this matter has already become so intertwined with me, I absolutely cannot continue to stand idly by!"

"If I really were hiding in the back..."

Even if we win this war, even if Uryū emerges unscathed...

"I will never be able to forgive myself!"

He suddenly raised his head, his bright eyes meeting Shiba Kukaku's gaze.

"Just like back then, when we went to Soul Society to save Rukia!"

Shiba Kukaku fell silent.

After a moment, she sighed softly.

“I can help you go to the Spirit King’s Palace.”

Kurosaki Ichigo's face lit up with joy, and he bowed deeply: "Big sister Kukaku, then I'll leave it to you!"

"In fact, even if you hadn't come looking for me, I would have come looking for you."

Shiba Kukaku suddenly spoke.

Kurosaki Ichigo was slightly taken aback, somewhat puzzled.

“The monk from the Spirit King Palace specifically instructed me on this matter.”

Shiba Kukaku stood up, tapped his pipe casually, and waved for Kurosaki Ichigo to follow.

He said that you would come to Soul Society sooner or later, and you would also be clamoring to go to the Soul King Palace sooner or later.

"He told me not to hesitate and just send you up there, but I never expected that monk would be so accurate..."

"And you arrived so quickly too."

Meanwhile, inside the Seireitei.

One of the Quincy suddenly felt a sharp pain in his body, and his knee slammed heavily to the ground, his facial features contorted in a grotesque grimace.

Something is being peeled away.

A beam of azure light shot out from his body, carrying his remaining spiritual power and life force, and flew straight into the sky.

far away.

Uryu Ishida stopped what he was doing, raised his hand to push up his glasses, and looked up at the sky.

"Has it already begun? Sasuke's strength is actually enough to push His Majesty to this extent..."

Therefore, it was necessary to gather all the Quincy's power and accumulate it before it was enough to fight them.

However, I seem to be unaffected by anything.

In his heart, a question was answered: why did Yhwach take him away from the mortal world, and why did he designate him as the heir to the Blind Empire?

He thought that thing had been discovered.

So that's why.

Because of my own abilities.

Within the invisible empire, there have always been two interpretations regarding His Majesty's "holiness".

One theory is that the power of all "holy scripts" is bestowed by His Majesty, and the knights wield the corresponding power through this.

Another theory is that the knights already possessed the potential of "holy script," and His Majesty's gift merely activated and strengthened this power.

Now it seems that perhaps only the latter, or perhaps both.

But what happened to me was clearly the latter.

He himself possesses the power of the sacred letter "A".

The power of this ability was even beyond his own imagination.

It can not only reverse the injury.

Even Yhwach's "sainthood" can be rejected by "opposition".

At least, for that brief moment, he clearly felt the arrival of "Holy Faith".

Then, he easily excluded her.

On the other side of the battlefield.

Kisuke Urahara stared calmly at the enemy opposite him, who had just completely overwhelmed him, now lying sprawled on the ground in a sorry state.

The Quincy was clutching his own throat tightly, his face deathly pale.

No matter how much it struggled, the power within its body still transformed into a beam of blue light, irrevocably flying upwards.

The same applies to the remaining Sternritter.

at the same time.

Ten no Michūnei.

Yhwach absorbed all the Quincy's power and opened his arms.

The blade pierced the void—

They tore open a narrow opening, forcefully breaking the restrictions on this space.

It is a "portal".

A portal for spatial transfer.

"Uchiha Sasuke, you've lost." Yhwach still didn't launch an attack, and without hesitation turned and walked into the portal.

Sasuke is not afraid of Yhwach.

He did not display any terrifying techniques that were difficult for me to counter.

Perhaps it's not that he can't, but that he simply doesn't have the time or the opportunity.

Just like it is now.

In order to perform the "spatial transfer" technique, he had to find an opportunity to restrain me first, and then perform "sacred separation".

however.

What else does Yhwach need to gain to feel confident that he can surpass himself?

The question had just surfaced in my mind.

The answer immediately became clear.

King of Spirits!

From the very beginning, he was absorbing the power of the Spirit King.

Sasuke's eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately realized what was going on.

He released "Heavenly Control," and his figure vanished in an instant.

When they reappeared, they had arrived in front of the Spirit King's Palace.

Purple chakra erupted and instantly condensed into a giant Susanoo. It drew its longsword and slashed fiercely towards the Spirit King Palace!

"boom!"

A loud bang.

The sword blade stopped in mid-air.

A thick barrier made of blue spiritual particles firmly blocked it from entering.

Inside the Lingwang Palace.

The Soul King's heart has been absorbed by Yhwach.

The amber that sealed the Spirit King was split in two.

Black, viscous spiritual pressure continuously seeped out from the gap.

Like a tangible swamp, it flowed and surged into Yhwach's body.

Only half a minute passed.

The "Spirit King" in the amber did not seem to have changed much and had not died, but its power was constantly being lost.
