Bleach: No cheat codes, he joined Aizen's side.

Chapter 311, Page 309. Efficient and Rapid

Hasward has been very irritable lately.

The Quincy families within the Unseen Empire were initially almost powerless against the attacks of the Sternritter.

However, for some reason, a genius Quincy named Kabuto Takuya has recently emerged inexplicably among these Quincy families.

This person almost single-handedly turned the tide of the battle.

This forced the Sternritter, who should have continued their expansion, to halt their advance.

The already small number of Sternritter members were almost completely wiped out during this period by this person and several Quincy families.

Even Minina, who had been sent out a few days earlier to secretly investigate the unusual situation, was suspected by Hasward to have died at the hands of this Kabuto Takuya.

Otherwise, within this vast, invisible empire, Hasward couldn't imagine who else possessed the power to silently kill a Sternritter member with the ability to use holy script.

Haschwalth repeatedly asked Yhwach, the Quincy King, for permission to fight, but was repeatedly refused.

Haschwald could tell that his emperor might have developed a slight fondness for this Quincy named Kabuto Takuya.

For Yhwach, sacred texts are common, but Quincy who can wield the power of sacred texts are rare.

If this Takuya Kabuto is truly that talented, it wouldn't be unreasonable to recruit him into the personal guard as their fifth member.

But for Haschward, this Takuya Kabuto must die.

Because his close friend, Bazzby, died at the hands of Takuya Kabuto just a few days ago.

Hasward couldn't bring himself to forgive Takuya Kabuto for killing Bazby.

Even if that might be what Yhwach meant.

"Lord Haschward, where do you plan to go at a time like this?"

Seeing Hasward walk alone out of the Ice Palace, Askin Nakruvar, one of the Royal Guard members, asked Hasward a question.

With a Latino face, a single, slightly curled fringe on his forehead, and a knotted wristband on his left arm, Yaskin Nakruvar was the last Sternritter chosen by Yhwach to be selected into the Royal Guard.

But like most of the Sternritter, he did not genuinely want to follow Yhwach.

He was merely curious about the new world Yhwach created after destroying the human world, Hueco Mundo, and Soul Society with his power. He accepted Yhwach's promise and endorsed his theory of world destruction.

At the same time, Haschwald, the Grand Master of the Sternritter who was hailed as the half-body of Yhwach, was regarded as the successor to the next emperor of the Blind Empire.

Therefore, for Yaskin Nakruvar, pledging allegiance to Hasward early was a very wise choice.

He was also the only one in the entire SS who was loyal to Haschwald, rather than to Yhwach.

At this very moment, Yaskin Nakruvar was keeping a close eye on Hasward's every move.

Especially now that the Sternritter are clearly facing difficulties, Ashkin Nakruvar desperately wants nothing to happen to Haschward.

"Let's go for a walk outside."

Hasward was aware of Jaskin Nakruvar's special feelings for him, but Jaskin Nakruvar was a member of Yhwach's personal guard.

Hasward expressed his desire for Yaskin Nakruvar to pledge allegiance to His Majesty countless times.

Unfortunately, Yaskin Nakruvar ignored him, and Hasward eventually gave up and let Yaskin Nakruvar do as he pleased.

But now, Hasward can't tell Askin Nakruvar that his purpose in going out this time was to secretly take care of that Grim Reaper named Kabuto Takuya.

As for how His Majesty will react afterwards, we'll see!

"At a time like this, does Lord Hasward also want to go for a walk outside?"

"Then I shall accompany you."

Yaskin Nakruvar had little interest in staying in the Ice Palace to protect Yhwach.

But before he could finish speaking, Haschward interrupted him.

"No need, I can just go for a walk by myself."

Having said that, Hasward left immediately, giving Yaskin Nakruvar no chance to refute him.

Askin Nakruvar wisely followed only to the entrance of the Ice Palace, watching Hasward's departing figure with a faint smile on his face.

"Lord Hasward has left. You two can come out now!"

"Yaskin Nakruvar said softly."

Then, from the shadows of the palace behind him, a man and a woman emerged.

If Haschwalth were still here, he would surely recognize that the male Quincy among them was the Quincy he was looking for, Kabuto Takuya.

That is, Higashino Shuichi.

"Are you really okay with so readily betraying the future emperor in your heart?"

Higashino Shuichi stopped five meters behind Yaskin Nakruvar, maintaining a safe distance, and spoke.

There can only be one emperor of an empire.

Lord Yhwach has not yet conquered the entire empire, so he cannot be considered an emperor.

"Your Majesty" is simply the title we use to address Lord Yhwach, following Lord Hasward's usage.

In my opinion, Lord Kabuto Takuya, it remains to be seen whether you or Lord Yhwach will ultimately become the emperor of this empire.
Personally, I would much rather it be you, Takuya Kabuto, who becomes the emperor!

Yaskin Nakruvar turned around, looked at Higashino Shuichi, and respectfully knelt on one knee.

His contact with Higashino Shuichi occurred two days prior.

He was ordered to take over a city that had just been captured, and there he encountered an ambush by Higashino Shuichi.

Because Higashino Shuichi was fully familiar with Askin Nakruvar's ability of the Holy Letter D - Lethal Dose, he defeated Askin Nakruvar in a normal battle with lightning speed.

Higashino Shuichi did not include Yaskin Nakruvar because the latter was a member of the Royal Guard.

Higashino Shuichi was worried that with Askin Nakruvar dead, Yhwach would immediately become alert and would no longer allow the remaining members of his personal guard, including Haschward, to act alone.

But Yaskin Nakruvar interpreted Higashino Shuichi's behavior as a form of recruitment.

Because this was how Yhwach had previously recruited Jaskin Nakruvar.

Having already experienced this once, Yaskin didn't need Higashino to say anything; he simply revealed his needs to him. In short, Yaskin didn't care about his own life or death, but he was very interested in the promises Yhwach had made to him.

If Higashino Shuichi's future plans are not to waste his time in this dull and tedious invisible empire, but rather, like Yhwach, to step out of this confined place and launch an attack on the legendary Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, and the human world.

Who does Yaskin Nakruvar serve as a pawn for?

To be honest, Higashino Shuichi was a little stunned after hearing Askin's sincere speech.

At this point in time, is Yhwach, who has not yet unified the invisible empire, already so lacking in prestige?
How could Yaskin, a member of the Royal Guard, betray his duty so decisively?

They didn't even put up a shred of resistance.

What else is there to say about Shuichi Higashino?
Isn't it just empty promises?
It's not like he hasn't drawn before.

Moreover, Shuichi Higashino possesses something that Yhwach lacks.

That is the ability to tell a story.

In front of Yaskin Nakruvar, one of Yhwach's personal guards, Higashino Shuichi perfectly demonstrated the talents that an excellent leader should display.

Let alone destroying Soul Society, the Human World, and Hueco Mundo, have you ever heard of Hell?
Never heard of it?
It's alright! That's a containment facility specifically for powerful souls. Since the birth of this world, all powerful beings that have ever been born have eventually been contained by Hell!

Is it great?
Want to go and see it?

Of course, no problem! Follow me, and when we conquer hell, I guarantee you'll be at the forefront!

Poor Yaskin Nakruvar, a young man who had never seen much of the world, was fooled by Higashino Shuichi and ended up limping.

What is Yhwach?
The former King of the Quincy?

What a joke! He's just an old fogey who can't keep up with the times!
Nobody's as awesome as this Takuya Kabuto I'm following now!

The above is a true reflection of Jaskin Nakruvar's inner thoughts after being fooled by Higashino Shuichi.

As for the information that Haschward later acquired, a large part of it was a combination of real and illusory information that Higashino Shuichi had specially prepared for Haschward.

Including what Hasward now sees as the training ground where Higashino Shuichi is located, a place with a very large flaw.

Surrounded by mountains on three sides and shrouded in a barrier in the sky, it can only be entered through a hidden entrance on the ground.

From a positive perspective, this is an excellent terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. No matter how many Sternritters send to besiege this place, for a short period of time, Kabuto Takuya only needs to face one Sternritter member at a time.

But in Hasward's view, this place was a dead end.

A place that will become the graveyard of that Quincy named Takuya Kabuto.

Because there is only one entrance, it also means there is only one exit.

Once the exit is blocked, Kabuto Takuya inside will be trapped like a turtle in a jar.

Higashino Shuichi believed that with Haschward's intelligence, coupled with the fact that he had deliberately allowed Yaskin Nakruvar to release Bazzby, who had been killed by Haschward, he was confident in Haschward's abilities.

Hasswald will definitely go to see him alone without Yhwach's knowledge.

Hasward would do something like that for Bazby.

After all, in the original storyline, Haschward was willing to betray Yhwach in the most crucial final battle for Bazby's sake.

Besides, we're only keeping Yhwach a little secret for now.

Higashino Hideyoshi was also quite kind to Hassward.

That dead land is not empty; it is where all the high-end combat forces of all Quincy families in the entire Unseen Empire are gathered.

In the intelligence that Higashino Shuichi had Askin Nakruvar give to Hasward, most of the information, including the preparation zone, the barrier, and the terrain, was completely accurate and without any embellishment.

The only lie he told was about whether he was also in this preparation zone.

"If you can receive all the great gifts I left for you there, then the entire Invisible Empire will have no usable fighting force left. Conquering the rest of the Invisible Empire will be a piece of cake."

However, whether Yhwach would even live to see that moment is another question.

These are the words that Higashino Shuichi silently said to Hasswald's retreating figure after watching him leave the Ice Palace without looking back.

But in essence, this is also a credit to Haschward.

Because if Haschwald hadn't been constantly providing Higashino with battle achievements, those ambitious Quincy families in the Wandenreich wouldn't have been so confident in entrusting all their combat power to Higashino and allowing him to deploy it at will.

Higashino Shuichi looked at Askin Nakruvar, who was kneeling before him like a subject, with only indifference and coldness in his eyes.

To Shuichi Higashino, Yaskin Nakruvar was nothing more than a pawn that could be discarded at any time, despite his great strength and status as a member of Yhwach's personal guard.

“In that case, according to the previous plan, Lijie Barrow from the Royal Guard will be handed over to you and Mengyin, and Penida Pakaja will be handed over to me.”

Higashino Hideichi gave the order directly to Askin.

Yume-on is the pseudonym that Otomu uses in this invisible empire.

Although the name Nemuru might not be known to these Quincy, Higashino Shuichi still wanted to be careful.

Also, because this is the Ice Palace, Yhwach is currently in a deep sleep during the day due to his weak body.

However, Higashino Shuichi couldn't guarantee that if he made a move in the Ice Palace, he wouldn't wake up Yhwach or trigger some alarm, causing Haschward, whom he had tricked, to return.

Therefore, a swift and decisive victory is the first principle.

Lizzie Barrow wasn't a particularly strong opponent, at least according to Higashino Shuichi, who was also a member of the Royal Guard.

Sending Yinmeng along was also just in case.

As for the last member of Yhwach's personal guard who was missed by Higashino Shuichi in the arrangement, Gremy Tomour.

His power had grown so great that Yhwach had to keep him in a specially made cage.

Yhwach certainly hasn't released it yet.

Therefore, it was not taken into consideration in the first phase of Higashino Shuichi's plan.

Thus, all of Higashino Shuichi's actions within the Invisible Empire proceeded swiftly and efficiently, just as he had envisioned.

Faced with these Quincy who showed absolutely no mercy, Shuichi Higashino displayed his rare efficiency.

In less than half a month, only a handful of members of the personal guard remained standing between Higashino Shuichi and Yhwach.
