In contrast.

Yhwach's body visibly swelled up.

Clumps and clusters of small black bumps gathered wildly on his body.

The feet are a group.

On its head, it looked as if it were wearing a mushroom-shaped hat.

It was entirely composed of thick, black spiritual energy.

A series of wide-open, gleaming golden eyes were set on the hat like jewels.

It was bizarre and disgusting.

Previously, they were restrained by Yhwach to prevent them from escaping and being discovered by Sasuke.

just now.

Now that everything has been exposed, there is no need to restrain ourselves.

They flowed out without restraint.

Like a long river flowing backwards.

It was not a liquid; flowing within it were countless, enormous clumps of small black organisms.

One-eyed, humanoid.

It was filled with endless hatred, sweeping across the land like an overwhelming force.

"That was a quick reaction."

Yhwach opened his mouth, and his voice echoed.

That heartfelt joy almost overflowed: "However, it's too late."

He grinned.

"Now, the Spirit King's power has returned to..."

The words hadn't even completely faded from his lips.

Purple black flames—

Like a beam of sunlight, it flashed down from above, forming a dazzling and powerful slash that struck straight down!

"Shh!"

With the extra power, Yhwach had some spare strength compared to before.

With a slight sway, he dodged the slash.

Sasuke's target was not him.

Instead, it directly severed the connection between the Soul King's power and Yhwach.

Yhwach waved his hand and flew out from the gap in the palace, coldly saying, "It's no use, Uchiha Sasuke, you can't stop me."

Sasuke remained calm.

He raised his hand and threw a beating heart at the broken Spirit King.

The black liquid gushing from the gap immediately stopped flowing.

But his expression remained solemn as he stared intently at Yhwach in mid-air.

He became the Spirit King?

No.

In such a short time, he had clearly only absorbed a small portion of the Spirit King's power.

He was more worried about something else.

"I saw."

Yhwach suddenly paused, his tone becoming fervent.

"Uchiha Sasuke, I see you."

Sasuke cursed under his breath.

really.

After obtaining the "Power of the Spirit King" and becoming a being of the "Spirit King" rank, one will naturally be able to glimpse that information.

Traveling between "two worlds" is an incredible thing in itself.

Perhaps it was a chance event caused by luck, but the Spirit King learned of it and took advantage of it.

But after King Spirit told him, "Do not let yourself stop his death."

Sasuke, in his heart, actually leaned more towards another possibility.

My coming into this world is not a coincidence.

Rather, it was the Spirit King who "chose" him.

"No wonder that even with my 'omniscient and omnipotent' powers, I couldn't foresee your future before this."

"I have made many assumptions about your identity."

"But this truth still surprises me; the power of the Spirit King can actually achieve this."

"To drag you, someone who doesn't belong to our world, into our world."

He paused for a moment after saying this.

All the eyes on its head turned in unison, staring intently at Sasuke.

"The life and death of this world has nothing to do with you."

Why are you stopping me?

Sasuke chuckled softly.

"Do you know why the Spirit King chose to bring me into this world and bestowed upon me such great power?"

Yhbach responded: "Because you are an unexpected factor, you are something I cannot observe."

“That’s right, it was an accident.” Sasuke nodded.

He looked at Yhwach, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Then do you know why I have two Zanpakuto, but I've never used Bankai or 'true fighting' at the same time?"

Yhwach's heart sank; he had grasped the key point.

Two knives.

Could it be that these two knives can be combined into one?

Sasuke caught his expression and nodded: "That's right, you guessed correctly."

"You're at a very low level."

"They will never understand my current state."

“I am the ‘only one’ born from two worlds. The difference between us is like the difference between you and an ordinary Grim Reaper.”

"That's why I've been holding back from releasing its full power. It's very powerful, and I'm afraid that even the slightest impact would be unbearable for others."

"but--"

Sasuke tilted his head slightly.

"Sometimes, in order to achieve a better result, we have no choice but to take some risks."

"And these are the responsibilities and sins that decision-makers should bear."

He raised his hands.

He gently placed the two knives together.

Hold it flat in front of your chest.

The tip of the knife was pointed horizontally at the man opposite.

"I am prepared to bear the consequences of any potential sins."

"Yhwabach, let this end here."

Within the three eyes, the patterns of the Sharingan Rinnegan swirled wildly.

Inside Sasuke.

The power of the Soul King and the chakra of the Ten-Tails erupted at the same moment!

All of it converged on the blade before them.

"A real fight—"

"Heaven weeps and thunder afflicts."

Within Sasuke, the power of the Soul King and the power of the Ten-Tails erupted simultaneously, converging on the sword before him.

A dazzling golden light appeared on the horizon.

A streak of purplish-black lightning, indescribable in words, tore through the sky.

"Boom—!"

The purple light pierced down from the Spirit King's Palace, violently splitting the entire sky in two.

This moment.

Soul Society.

All the Shinigami in Seireitei, from captains and high-ranking officers to low-ranking members, froze in their tracks.

He looked up in horror, staring at the purple lightning that seemed to cleave the world in two.

Not just Soul Society.

The distant other side.

Ninja world.
