Chapter 711 Just Kill Him Again

Under everyone's gaze, Yhwach slowly raised his right hand.

The streams of Reishi light converging from across the Seireitei flowed into his body like rivers returning to the sea. Each stream of light represented the life force and power of a Sternritter member.

His Reiatsu underwent a qualitative leap in that moment.

If Yhwach had been an insurmountable mountain before, then at this moment, he was an erupting volcano, unstoppable.

He raised his hand, and a Reishi Torrent, several times thicker than before, burst from his palm, precisely striking the center of the super-tier magic circle that was still raining down flaming meteors.

The magic circle collapsed with a piercing crack, scattering into countless Reishi Fragments in the air.

Then Yhwach clenched his fist. Reishi rapidly condensed in his palm. A pitch-black blade, with dark red patterns flowing across its surface... a Quincy Cross Blade... formed in his hand.

Most Quincies used Reishi Bows as their main weapons for long-range combat, but Yhwach was also extremely skilled in close-quarters combat. This blade was his preferred melee weapon.

His form blurred, dragging a black afterimage as he charged straight at Nayuta, the Quincy Cross Blade in his hand descending with enough force to sever causality itself.

Nayuta didn't dodge.

She raised her slender arm, her elbow meeting the space-cutting blade head-on.

The moment blade and skin collided, a piercing metallic screech erupted. The shockwave blasted away the surrounding rubble.

If Yu, Beam, and the others had reached their peak by traveling through countless worlds and combining abilities from each,

Then Nayuta was an existence that had unified the powers of top-tier experts from every world. Her growth couldn't even be compared to Makoto's core subordinates.

That was why Nayuta was the true big sister of Makoto's harem... not because of seniority or age, but sheer power!

But even so, taking Yhwach's slash made Nayuta frown slightly.

She glanced at the faint wound on her elbow, from which dark red blood was slowly seeping.

'His power could actually pressure me?'

Her current defense system was a composite defense combining Armament Haki, Hierro, damage transfer, Blut Vene, and countless other top-tier defensive skills from various worlds.

Even a top-tier Captain-class or Arrancarized Vasto Lorde going all out couldn't leave a mark on her.

Yet Yhwach's slash had not only broken through her defense but also made her feel a pain she hadn't felt in a long time.

Nayuta stepped back, creating distance between herself and Yhwach.

She shook her slightly numb arm, tilted her head, and examined the Quincy King, now shrouded in multiple pupil-covered eyes. Her tone finally carried a hint of genuine seriousness: "Alright, it seems you do have some ability. Then I'll show you a bit of my real power."

As soon as she said this, Yhwach's expression shifted slightly.

'She could already match him head-on in my Auswählen state, and she still hadn't shown her real power?'

Then, Nayuta raised both hands, palms facing each other, one up and one down.

A light that didn't belong to any known power system glowed in her golden pupils. Her lips parted, and in an extremely calm yet spine-chilling tone, she murmured, "Come forth, darkness."

The moment the words left her mouth, an indescribable 'darkness' spread outward from Nayuta.

It was pure, absolute, primordial darkness that seemed to have existed since before the world's birth.

In the blink of an eye, the entire Soul Society was swallowed by this darkness.

Although visually similar to Tosen's Bankai, Enma Korogi,

Anyone with eyes could feel the vast difference between these two forces.

Whether Shinigami or Quincy, everyone stopped fighting involuntarily, looking up in shock.

Even Yu, in his Ultimate Gun Devil Form, instinctively held back from pulling the trigger.

"What is this?"

Bazz-B's Burning Finger Fists extinguished for the first time under the shroud of darkness.

Nayuta enunciated the name of this technique, word by word, her voice echoing in the absolute darkness like an unassailable law of the universe: "Darkness Domain."

Standing opposite Nayuta, Yhwach was the most shaken of all.

Because the moment the Darkness Domain fully descended, eleven bisected astronauts appeared without warning in the space between him and Nayuta.

Their upper and lower bodies were separated, arranged in two rows. Their upper halves floated in mid-air, making praying gestures, while their lower halves were embedded upside down in some inexplicable, eerie soil.

The entire scene radiated a chilling, unsettling strangeness.

If Hayakawa Aki, Himeno, and other natives of the Chainsaw Man World were present, they would have recognized it instantly—

This was the signature technique of the Darkness Devil, one of the Primal Devils and the power ceiling of the Chainsaw Man World.

That's right, before coming to the Bleach World, Makoto and Nayuta had made a special trip back to the Chainsaw Man World.

On that return, Makoto had taken Nayuta to find that primal being slumbering in the deepest depths of Hell... the Darkness Devil.

Makoto's terms were simple: form a contract with Nayuta, allowing her to use the Darkness Devil's abilities. In exchange, the Chainsaw Devil and the Control Devil would never attack the Darkness Devil, with all three sides agreeing not to interfere with each other.

If the Darkness Devil refused, they would fight to the bitter end.

A supreme-plus Chainsaw Devil combined with a super-plus Control Devil... even the Darkness Devil wouldn't dare claim certain victory.

After weighing its options, the Darkness Devil chose to accept.

The contract was sealed. The Control Devil's system gained another absolute power from a Primal Devil.

Then, in this absolute darkness, Nayuta's pink lips parted slightly. Along with the bisected astronauts floating in mid-air, she began to mutter an incantation in no known language.

"Ribbit~"

Suddenly, a sound like a frog's croak echoed.

It wasn't loud, yet it pierced into the souls of everyone present.

The next moment, Yhwach's limbs separated from his body without warning.

Not simply cut off, but as if they had never belonged to his body in the first place.

Blood sprayed from the severed ends, tracing four arcs through the air.

Yhwach was reduced to a stump. He didn't even flinch. He simply declared in a low voice:

"I... grant myself limbs!"

The moment the words left his mouth, vast amounts of Reishi materialized at the severed ends. Those Reishi instantly re-formed into bone, muscle, and skin. New arms and legs grew back.

This was one of his core abilities... self-granting. A word-based power that allowed him to adjust his own state through language, enhancing attack and defense, and repairing any injury.

As long as he could speak, there was almost no such thing as a true 'fatal wound'.

But then Nayuta vanished from her spot. She was still standing there, yet it seemed she was no longer there... not through Shunpo or Sonído.

She had merged into the darkness itself, becoming part of it. Then she re-materialized less than two meters directly in front of Yhwach.

Darkness Incarnation... within the Domain, Nayuta, having gained the Darkness Devil's power, could freely teleport to any corner of the darkness.

The darkness was her body. The Domain was her will.

Then Nayuta raised her slender finger, pointing it at Yhwach.

"Telekinesis Finger Sever."

With a series of crisp sounds, this time it wasn't just his limbs. Yhwach's entire body was sliced into countless pieces by an invisible force.

Blood exploded in the darkness. But because Nayuta had deliberately slowed the flow of time within the Domain, every droplet hung suspended in mid-air, drifting slowly.

Haschwalth, the Sternritter Grandmaster who had been held back by Aizen, saw this and froze.

He couldn't imagine that Yhwach, the Quincy King he had followed for over a thousand years, the possessor of the Almighty, could be suppressed to this extent after activating Auswählen.

And his opponent wasn't even Makoto.

Not just enemies like Haschwalth and the Schutzstaffel, even allies like Aizen and Yu were watching in stunned silence.

"That's insane,"

Yu muttered, his voice carrying undisguised awe for the first time. "It really seems we don't need Senpai to come back to end this battle."

He even had an absurd thought... if Nayuta defeated Yhwach, wouldn't she be the MVP of this Reincarnation Mission?

"Die."

Nayuta said that one word flatly, then clenched her hand in the darkness.

A blade appeared in her palm... its hilt indistinguishable from a Zanpakuto, but its guard resembled an inverted crystal chandelier, with four bells hanging from its tail, ringing with a crisp, eerie chime in the darkness.

It was the Darkness Devil's personal blade.

Dingling—

As the bells rang out, Nayuta swung the blade.

The arc of that slash left no blade light, no sword energy, only a cutting line representing absolute darkness.

Splash...

Blood sprayed like a rainstorm.

Yhwach, already sliced into countless fragments by Nayuta's telekinesis, bloomed like a dark red death flower against the backdrop of the Darkness Domain.

"It's over."

Nayuta sheathed the blade, her tone as calm as if she had just killed a fly.

The Sternritter still clinging to life on the battlefield, especially those Schrift knights who hadn't been completely drained by Auswählen and had barely survived, all widened their eyes.

Their Quincy King had been killed by a little girl? And without Makoto even showing up?

Nayuta withdrew the Darkness Domain. The world's colors returned to normal.

She slowly descended from mid-air, walked up to Yu, and said with undisguised impatience, "We can go back now, right?"

Nayuta felt this game session had been terrible... for most of it, she hadn't been with Makoto.

"It, it should be soon..."

Even Yu, who normally didn't care about anyone but Makoto, stammered.

He knew Nayuta was strong, but he never expected her to be this powerful.

But just as everyone thought the battle was completely over, a blue-white Reishi Arrow fell from the sky without warning, precisely piercing through Nayuta's body.

The arrow entered from her back and exited through her chest, sending up a spray of blood.

Nayuta looked down at the smoking hole in her chest. Her expression showed no pain, only a troubling displeasure.

Everyone, including Nayuta, turned sharply toward the direction the arrow had come from.

Yhwach, who had been reduced to a cloud of blood, was somehow standing in mid-air again.

But compared to before, the upper half of his face was now covered by an eerie black veil, over which countless multiple-pupiled eyes were superimposed. Each eye was moving independently, looking in different directions.

Haschwalth gazed up at that face, covered in countless eyes, and let out a long breath. His expression was one of both reverence and the relief of finally seeing something long-awaited.

"He's finally awakened..."

Haschwalth murmured to himself. "During the long nine hundred and ninety-nine years of being sealed, he could never fully awaken. Only after retrieving all his power, at a specific moment, can he truly open his eyes and unleash the Almighty's full potential."

Aizen narrowed his eyes, the figure of Yhwach's eye-covered face reflected in his pupils. "What do you mean?"

Haschwalth said in an extremely calm tone, "That is His Majesty's power to know all futures. During the nine hundred and ninety-nine years of sealing, he was waiting for this moment. The moment after retrieving all his power when he can open his eyes and unleash his full strength. This power is called—"

Here, Haschwalth paused, as if offering a final tribute to a coronation ceremony delayed for a millennium, "—The Almighty."

Nayuta looked down at the Heilig Pfeil piercing her chest, then looked up at the face covered in countless eyes in mid-air.

Her expression showed undisguised annoyance, like watching a dead bug still twitching.

She grabbed the arrow shaft, still radiating Quincy Reishi light, and casually pulled it out.

The wound healed at a visible rate.

"How troublesome."

Nayuta looked up, her golden eyes, still calm as water, meeting the countless eyes on Yhwach's face, each looking toward a different future.

"If you'd just lain down quietly, you could have died without pain."

With that, she raised both hands again. "Die."

The Darkness Domain descended again the moment she spoke. The eleven bisected astronauts re-emerged from the darkness. This time, their praying gestures seemed more devout than before, yet also more desperate.

Nayuta drew from the darkness that eerie black blade with the chandelier-like guard and four bells hanging from its tail.

The bells rang crisp and cold in the darkness, as if someone was tolling a funeral bell for approaching death.

"Then I'll just kill you again."
