Chapter 315, Section 313: A Bold Idea
Inside the Ice Palace of the Unknown Empire, Higashino Shuichi, having fully absorbed the power contained in Yhwach's blood essence, sat on the throne, with Yhwach's corpse below him.

Higashino Shuichi silently felt the power within his body at that moment.

Because he had already been bathed in Yhwach's blood once in that fictional future, this time he only greatly enhanced his Holy Script ability and did not gain any new power.

However, compared to before, Higashino Shuichi was finally able to use his Holy Script ability to fabricate the power that originally belonged to Haschwalth and Yhwach.

Harmony of the world, omniscience and omnipotence.
Not only that, but even Haschward's exclusive equipment, the Scapegoat Shield, could be completely fabricated by Higashino Shuichi using his Holy Word ability.

However, when it comes to Yhwach's omniscience and omnipotence, the effect that Higashino Shuichi can bring out is much weaker than the original version.

Yhwach can theoretically see an infinite future, while Higashino Shuichi can only see two hours into the future.

But that's not a problem.

Because that power belonging to Yhwach has not yet been fully digested by Higashino Shuichi.

Even with Higashino Shuichi's current strength, it would still take some time to fully digest Yhwach's power and perfectly integrate it into his own body without leaving any side effects.

Now, two other things urgently need to be addressed for Higashino Shuichi.

One is Yhwach's corpse, which is actually not difficult to deal with. Higashino Shuichi can simply take him back to the Spirit King Palace and throw him to that stinky monk.

The other thing was how to explain it to Kisuke Urahara.

It's worth noting that during the time Higashino Shuichi was in the Wandenreich, he maintained a frequency of video calls with Urahara Kisuke almost every two days.

Not only did he report most of the information about the Wandenreich to Kisuke Urahara in its entirety, but he also wanted Kisuke Urahara to try to help him create some tools to target the Quincy.

This was another trump card that Higashino Shuichi had prepared for himself.

If the worst-case scenario occurs, and he has exhausted all means but still fails to defeat Yhwach, then he will retreat and join forces with Kisuke Urahara to launch another attack on Yhwach.

But Higashino Shuichi never imagined that the Yhwach who awakened prematurely would be so different from himself now. Through his deliberate calculations and precognitive abilities,
Even the trump card that Higashino Shuichi had prepared for himself, Nemuro, was not used.

Therefore, Higashino Shuichi now has an option: to do as he previously envisioned, after eliminating Yhwach, who could potentially become a hidden threat, he can then completely confront Urahara Kisuke, and then join forces with Aizen to eliminate Urahara Kisuke.

However, when Higashino Shuichi looked at the corpse of Yhwach in front of him, he began to question his previous decision.

Confronting Kisuke Urahara directly as Shuichi Higashino would certainly be a time-saving, labor-saving, and quick solution.

However, on the surface, it appears that Kisuke Urahara and Soul Society have already severed ties.

But in reality, Shuichi Higashino never believed that Kisuke Urahara was a stubborn person.

If the threat to Kisuke Urahara is great enough, it is entirely possible for him to reunite with Soul Society, leading the group of spirits possessing the power of the First Captain.

Now, because of the battle with himself decades ago, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni is no longer as stubborn as he was in the original story, and can even take the initiative to forgive Hirako Shinji and the others.

If it were discovered that Higashino Shuichi and Aizen had joined forces, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni would definitely accept the cooperation with Urahara Kisuke.

If things really develop in this way, then Higashino Shuichi and Aizen will have to fight against Urahara Kisuke and his group, along with all the Shinigami in Soul Society, and even the Hollowfied Shinigami like Hirako Shinji.

Higashino Shuichi wasn't worried about the final outcome if this battle actually broke out.

With his current strength, as long as he and Aizen join forces, no matter how many others in the entire Soul Society are combined, unless the Zero Division of the Soul King Palace personally intervenes, Higashino Shuichi doesn't believe any combination can defeat him and Aizen.

However, Higashino Shuichi could only imagine that, in that case, after the great battle, there would probably be nothing left in the entire Soul Society.

Since Shinji Hirako and Kisuke Urahara are now based in the present world, their battle may even spill over into the present world.

In that case, the one who will destroy the three realms might not be Yhwach, but Higashino Shuichi himself.

So what would Higashino Shuichi gain after the war?
He didn't have Aizen's lofty ambitions, nor Yhwach's determination to rebuild the world.

He simply wants to liberate this world from the script of the Spirit King, and then, as long as there is no one manipulating things behind the scenes, with his current strength, Higashino Shuichi can stay peacefully in the real world and enjoy the prosperity of human life.

Therefore, for Shuichi Higashino, the human world is a place that absolutely cannot be affected, and the Soul Society should also remain unchanged.

"To achieve this goal, the initiative in the battle must not be in the hands of the enemy, but in our own hands."

Only in this way can they decide the scale and location of the war themselves.

Higashino Shuichi analyzed,
"Giving it to Aizen won't work either. Aizen doesn't care about the survival of the human world at all. He only wants to preserve a certain amount of fighting power in Soul Society so as to ensure that the reconstruction and order can be maintained after the war."

"Therefore, this war against Kisuke Urahara should not be about me going to Kisuke Urahara; it should be about Urahara and his people coming to me."

"But Higashino Shuichi's identity is not enough, because based on what I have done, neither the Shinigami in Soul Society nor Urahara Kisuke would believe that I would be so crazy as to destroy the three realms."

In that case, they would only seek the safest and most secure way to deal with him, just like they are dealing with Aizen now, instead of being so crazy as to put all their forces on the line in a short period of time!

Even if Aizen and I were to challenge them to a fight, the Shinigami of Soul Society might fight to the death to protect the Seireitei, but Kisuke Urahara would definitely run away and hide as soon as he realized he couldn't win.

Even if he escapes to the Western Suburbs and hides there again, I wouldn't be surprised!

"But if I want to take Aizen to Hell to find a way to defeat the Soul King, I absolutely cannot leave Urahara Kisuke as a hidden danger in Soul Society and the human world."

Even if he has nothing, as long as he's alive, he's a threat!

Higashino Shuichi pondered until he finally fixed his gaze on the corpse of Yhwach below.

He actually has the best solution at hand right now: Yhwach did indeed die at his hands.

But Yhwach could also be "not dead".

If Yhwach, the Quincy King who had once attempted to destroy Soul Society but failed, were to say that he wanted to regain control of the human world and destroy Soul Society, then Kisuke Urahara would have no choice but to believe him.

Meanwhile, in the present world, at Urahara's General Store in Karakura Town.

Masaki Kurosaki, who had just finished school, arrived here in high spirits.

"Good afternoon, Uncle Tessai!"

Masaki Kurosaki first greeted Tessai Wakishi, who always unloaded goods at the door at this time, and then went to the back room with ease.

Today was another day for Kisuke Urahara and Shuichi Higashino to contact each other, which happens every two days.

During this time, Masaki Kurosaki had gained some understanding of that unfamiliar country belonging only to the Quincy through Shuichi Higashino.

But she wanted to know more!

More and more! At this moment, Masaki Kurosaki is in the prime of her youth, full of curiosity. She is extremely curious about the lives of the Quincy in the Wandenreich and the so-called Sternritter members.

Those amazing special abilities that Mr. Kabuto called "Holy Script" are almost like the release of a Shinigami's Zanpakuto.

Unfortunately, because she had been killed by the Quincy King Saint before, Masaki Kurosaki was lucky enough to survive, but she had almost lost all of her Quincy power.

Right now, she even has difficulty condensing a single Holy Annihilation Arrow, let alone constructing advanced techniques like Static Blood Armor or Dynamic Blood Armor.

However, none of this prevented Kurosaki Masaki from arriving at Urahara's general store on time, looking forward to a video call with Kabuto-senpai.

Masaki Kurosaki remembered that the last time she contacted Kabuto-senpai, he told her that after he helped the head of the Umezu family train those elite Quincy, they would try to attack the Ice Palace where the Quincy King was located.

In Masaki Kurosaki's imagination, the training would take at least ten days to half a month, right?

So maybe this time Kabuto-senpai can take her to see the Quincy's training ground. I wonder what kind of training method Kabuto-senpai uses for those Quincy.

"Mr. Urahara, shouldn't we start contacting Kabuto-senpai?"

After seeing Kisuke Urahara push open the door and enter the house, Masaki Kurosaki placed her hands on the table, looked at Kisuke Urahara with bright, expectant eyes, and asked him a question.

"Oh my, is our Miss Kurosaki still so impatient today?"
Immediately, immediately!

Kisuke Urahara was in a good mood today because, according to the information sent back by Shuichi Higashino, he had just successfully completed the research on a small device targeting the Quincy in the Wandenreich.

As long as Kabuto Takuya can continue to transmit information at this efficiency, and preferably capture another Sternritter member alive, then it's not impossible for Urahara Kisuke to figure out a way to break that Holy Script ability.

Urahara Kisuke set up the communication device, turned it on, and then fanned himself while waiting for a response from the other side.

Due to the distance between the two sides and the different spaces, the initial connection process generally takes a relatively long time, about ten minutes.

Masaki Kurosaki was also very experienced. She sat patiently at the table, propped her head up with her hands, and waited expectantly for the video to appear.

About ten minutes later, the other side of the screen appeared as expected.

In the past, it was always Kabuto-senpai's big face that filled the entire screen first, but today, what appeared on the screen was a middle-aged man's face that Kurosaki Masaki didn't recognize at all.

"Who are you? Where is Kabuto-senpai?"

Masaki Kurosaki immediately sat up straight on the table and asked the person on the screen, puzzled.

"What? Don't you recognize me?"

Shouldn't it?

"You've come to my empire specifically to find me, haven't you?"

The man on the screen said with a smile.

Upon hearing what the man said, Masaki Kurosaki immediately understood.

A bolt from the blue struck her heart like a bolt of lightning, so much so that she pointed at the man on the screen with trembling hands and said...

"You...you are the Quincy King, Yhwach?!"

Masaki Kurosaki's body trembled; fear gripped her heart.

How could she not be afraid!
This man, from an unknown distance and through countless spaces, used his divine power from that distant land and almost took his own life!

And now, he has even appeared on the screen where Kabuto-senpai should have appeared.

This was practically telling her the truth: Kabuto-senpai, something's happened!

"Yes, I am Yhwach, the King of the Quincy!"

On the other end of the screen, the man readily admitted his identity, then shifted his gaze from Kurosaki Masaki to Urahara Kisuke, whose expression had subtly changed.
"And you are Kisuke Urahara, the former captain of the 12th Division of Soul Society, right?"

Yes, that's right~
"Nice to meet you, King of the Quincy~"

You can't tell what Urahara Kisuke is really thinking just by his tone of voice. This man, as always, perfectly hides his true feelings.

"Hehe, since this is our first meeting, I should give you a small gift."

I don't know if this is enough?

The screen on the other side was suddenly moved, and Masaki Kurosaki could see the throne, pillars, and...
"No! Kabuto-senpai!!!"

Masaki Kurosaki covered her mouth tightly, and the mist instantly obscured her vision.

Because she saw Kabuto-senpai's body, lying quietly at the bottom of the steps.

There was a large hole that had been pierced through the body's chest.

The blood around the body had long since dried, indicating that the person had been dead for quite some time.

Although she had this ominous suspicion in her heart, when reality was presented to Kurosaki Masaki, she still found it hard to believe.

In contrast, Kisuke Urahara's expression remained unusually calm.

“Lord Yhwach, this doesn’t seem like a proper greeting gift.”

"Yes, it doesn't look like it. What about this one?"

The screen was moved back to its original position by Yhwach, and then Kisuke Urahara saw Yhwach extend a finger and gently point it in his direction.

In that instant, Kisuke Urahara's unchanging eyes finally contracted sharply.

Because in front of him, a large number of spiritual particles suddenly began to gather on their own, forming the shape of a divine arrow of destruction.

With a sharp "whoosh," the Sacred Annihilation Arrow grazed past Kisuke Urahara's hair.

"Hahaha, Kisuke Urahara, you're quite interesting!"
I hope that when I lead my troops to conquer the world, you'll be just as interesting!

Yhwach laughed loudly, then immediately shut down the communication with Kisuke Urahara.

After the communication was shut down, Kisuke Urahara stared silently at the black screen in front of him, the smile on his face gradually fading away.
