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

Yhwach's omniscience and omnipotence are indeed a very useful and convenient ability.

This is especially true for someone like Shuichi Higashino, who has no idol image to maintain and no moral pressure.

The only thing that annoyed Higashino Shuichi was that after arriving in the real world, his fabricated omniscience and omnipotence, his ability to foresee the future, was repeatedly thwarted.

It is almost always in an unavailable state.

Only just now, when Kyoraku Shunsui forcibly pulled him into this space that belonged only to him and Kyoraku Shunsui in a very domineering manner, did Higashino Shuichi finally feel that the hand that had been gripping his power by the throat had loosened slightly.

He can finally see the future some time from now!
In this future, Higashino Shuichi saw his own body being injured without any resistance, just like Kyoraku Shunsui's, during the first act of Kyoraku Shunsui's game.

I saw myself in the second act of the game, with countless black spots appearing on my body, and blood constantly flowing from these black spots;
He saw himself in the third act of the game, engaging in a spiritual pressure battle with Kyoraku Shunsui;
He also saw himself being strangled by Kyoraku Shunsui in the final scene of the game, his head chopped off by thin threads that were almost like the power of rules.

"I'm really in a sorry state."

As Higashino Shuichi looked at the future scene where his head and body were separated and swallowed by an explosion, he smiled faintly.

Then he reached out and pressed his hand onto the illusory image.

Since he can see the future again without being interfered with by that mysterious force, it naturally means that Higashino Shuichi can now use another ability from Yhwach's omniscience and omnipotence.

Rewrite the future!

Shuichi Higashino infused his will into this vision of the future.

Forcibly altering one's body within the game is undoubtedly a confrontation with Kyoraku Shunsui's Bankai and the game's rules. The price Higashino Shuichi would have to pay for changing the future would be enormous, and the rewritten future would most likely be forcibly corrected by Kyoraku Shunsui's Bankai after the alteration.

Therefore, Higashino Shuichi did not choose to do that. What he wanted to do was simply to give a new command to his own body that was being swallowed by the explosion.

recovery.

To allow himself, who should have been killed by Kyoraku Shunsui, to return to his original form at this moment.

That's enough.

At this point, having already completed the Bankai of the four-act game, it's impossible to exert influence on Higashino Shuichi again.

Therefore, Higashino Shuichi reappeared completely before Kyoraku Shunsui.

"This is impossible."

Kyoraku Shunsui was very clear about the Bankai ability of his Zanpakuto. As long as he could hold out until the end of the fourth act, the enemies trapped by him, regardless of their abilities, would eventually die.

This is the rule, and unlike Soi Fon, it is not affected by the strength of spiritual pressure.

Because the portion that spiritual pressure can influence has already ended in the third act of the game.

Unless Yhwach chooses to forcefully break free from his game in Act III, the outcome will be decided by Act IV.

This outcome, starting from hundreds of years ago when Kyoraku Shunsui mastered Bankai, has been only possible with the exception of Yhwach standing before him.

"Nothing is impossible, Death!"

As Higashino Shuichi spoke calmly, he used his spiritual energy to construct a black sword in his right hand.

This is one of the abilities that Yhwach actually used in the original work. Compared to other Quincy who use weapons like longbows, Yhwach's weapon is this black sword, the Quincy Cross Blade.

Previously, Higashino Shuichi had not summoned the Eight Mirrors Sword, a divine weapon in the hands of Yoruichi Shihouin, because he was wary of it.

However, in this space, Higashino Shuichi doesn't need to have such concerns.

Kyoraku Shunsui could only watch as Higashino Shuichi walked towards him step by step, unable to even undo his Bankai.

Because his Bankai, like his Zanpakuto Shikai, requires the death of one of the combatants to be released.

Unless Kyoraku Shunsui himself or Higashino Shuichi breaks this rule through other special means.

However, this method might allow Shuichi Higashino to forcefully break through Kyoraku Shunsui's Shikai using the power of hell.

However, even with the help of the power of hell, Higashino Shuichi could not achieve Kyoraku Shunsui's Bankai.

Unless Higashino Shuichi is willing to completely dedicate himself to hell and allow the power of hell to completely control him.

However, the relationship between Higashino Shuichi and Kyoraku Shunsui was clearly not good enough for Higashino Shuichi to give his life for them.

So when Higashino Shuichi walked up to Kyoraku Shunsui, Kyoraku Shunsui used his last bit of strength to stand up from the ground, swaying slightly.

"You know nothing about true power!"

Then, Higashino Shuichi made Kyoraku Shunsui his wife.

He used the Quincy Cross Blade in his hand to pierce Kyoraku Shunsui's heart.

May we meet again in hell!

Then, Higashino Shuichi abandoned Yhwach's voice and changed it to his own, whispering in Kyoraku Shunsui's ear.

At that moment, the latter's pupils were filled with shock and disbelief.

Kyoraku Shunsui has a lot to say and a lot to ask.

Unfortunately, his life had come to an end at this moment.

His body could only slump against Higashino Shuichi, and then Higashino Shuichi gently laid him flat on the ground.

"Ugh"

As he waited for the power of Kyoraku Shunsui to dissipate, Higashino Shuichi let out a soft sigh.

If Kyoraku Shunsui hadn't gone to such extremes, unleashing his strongest Bankai in such a near-death state, Higashino Shuichi, with his current spiritual pressure, could have easily broken through it with a little effort.

Unfortunately, Kyoraku Shunsui pushed his potential to the limit in order to ensure he could defeat him.

In this "ancient Rome" arena where only one person can survive, Kyoraku Shunsui has only one fate.

Darkness dissipates, and light reappears.

Higashino Shuichi stood unharmed before everyone once again. The surrounding Sanctuary Praise had disappeared due to Kyoraku Shunsui's Bankai. The rules of the entire world had been restored by Urahara Kisuke through some unknown means during this time.

Ginjo Kūgo had lost an arm and was kneeling on one knee; his condition was far from good.

It can only be said that he was lucky; if Kyoraku Shunsui had acted any later, he would probably be dead by now.

Hideki Tsukishima, who was standing next to him, seemed to be in good spirits, even casually flipping through a book.

As for Yoruichi Shihouin and the others, they looked up with sorrowful eyes at the corpse that had fallen from the sky.

"Spring water!"

Jushiro Ukitake coughed up blood. His physical condition had not yet recovered, and his mental state deteriorated further after witnessing his friend's death.

Yoruichi Shihouin channeled her grief and anger into power, unleashing lightning once more that roared through the small world, the lightning almost merging heaven and earth into one. Higashino Shuichi narrowly avoided Yoruichi Shihouin's sudden attack, his sword piercing empty air.

He discovered that Yoruichi Shihouin could also unleash her full power.

This speed far exceeded his previous strength, almost causing Higashino Shuichi to capsize unexpectedly.

Hey, count me in!
Swastika, Hunhua, the evil monk is righteous! "

At the same time, as one of the few Shinigami present whose strength was well preserved, the immortal spirit residing in the soul of the first captain, Saito, also joined Yoruichi Shihouin in making a fierce attack.

For these first-generation captains living in that chaotic era, the gentlemanly manner of insisting on one-on-one duels was not fashionable.

Whether it's a one-on-one fight or a group brawl, as long as you win, you're the victor!
With a loud thud, the giant phantom of a huge monk with a giant demon face and animal ears, holding a skull and a staff, who had once met Higashino Shuichi, appeared in this world.

Then, Saito, being immortal, stepped on the ground, instantly leaving a deep pit in the spot.

In the era when Saito and the others lived, the technology of the Shinigami was not yet fully perfected. Therefore, these first captains relied more on their own physical strength.

In other words, there is no skill, only strength.

The purest power!
In the blink of an eye, Saito, who was immortal, arrived in front of Higashino Shuichi, his Zanpakuto transforming into several afterimages, each attacking different parts of Higashino Shuichi's body.

"Destroy the Crossblade!"

Again facing someone who wasn't Yoruichi Shihouin, Higashino Shuichi didn't have time to try his luck with an Asahi sword anymore. So he summoned the black sword that killed Kyoraku Shunsui again and drew it quickly.

After a series of clanging sounds, Higashino Shuichi was actually forced back several steps.

"So good! So good!!!"
I never imagined that a thousand years later, I would be fighting with you again!
This time, I will crush you with my own hands!

Saito, who was immortal, shouted, revealing a ferocious and eerie smile on her face.

That was excitement that was visible to the naked eye.

Higashino Shuichi glanced thoughtfully at his right hand holding the knife, then looked at the enormous phantom of the monk behind Saito Immortal.

He seemed to have figured out a little about the hidden mechanism behind Saito's immortal Zanpakuto ability.

He had previously made a similar guess: if the giant monk phantom only came into play after Saito, who was immortal, activated the "Soul Blossom: Withered Tomb" ability.

So what is the significance of it standing there so far in the rear?

It can't just serve as a deterrent, can it?

That's just something you tell kids.

Higashino Shuichi didn't believe that someone at Saito's level of immortality would believe that a mere phantom could frighten those Hollows or the scum of Soul Society.

Now, through his two encounters with the immortal Saito, Higashino Shuichi has roughly guessed the true purpose of the giant monk phantom.

For Saito, who is immortal, the effect of that evil monk should not be a one-time thing, but rather a permanent one.

In other words, the power Saito gains from each battle using Bankai, which he is immortal and fights against, is permanently stored within the body of that giant evil monk.

And in every battle where Saito is immortal, he can draw upon these powers.

And these resources can probably be reused.

In other words, this is a Bankai ability that can grow indefinitely.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why Saito, an immortal spirit whose strength should have been fixed, could increase his power so much in such a short period of time.

Even now, when Higashino Shuichi takes her slash head-on, his right hand aches.

"I can't imagine how terrifying your strength would be now if Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni hadn't sacrificed you back then and had allowed you to live."

Higashino Shuichi's gaze toward Saito's immortal appearance held a hint of regret.

Because Higashino Shuichi also had a slightly conspiratorial guess in his mind: perhaps Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni had also thought of this point, which is why he made that decision.

This sounds like something Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekaku would do.

But reality doesn't allow for "what ifs." Saito's immortality and Bankai were indeed an invincible ability in the later stages of the game.

But a thousand years ago, she didn't live to see the later stages of her life, and it's the same now.

Higashino Shuichi used his Flying Scythe Kick to dodge Yoruichi Shihouin's continuous slashes once again, and then tore the entire world apart from the space where he and Yoruichi Shihouin were, as if the paper had been torn apart.

For Yoruichi Shihouin, it felt as if a piece of the world before her eyes had suddenly disappeared.

In this world temporarily separated by Higashino Shuichi, Higashino Shuichi slowly raised his sword, his eyes fixed on the giant monk phantom behind Saito, who was immortal, in the original world.

"My strike transcends space and time, severing nothingness and reality!"

Higashino sang in a low voice.

For him, there was no need for any fancy lyrics; everything served only the purpose.

If he doesn't have that ability, he will give it to himself!
Then, Higashino Shuichi swung down the black sword in his hand.

The next instant, Saito Immortal's voice, which had been clamoring to chase after Yhwach just a second ago, came to an abrupt halt.

Because she felt as if her soul had been shattered at that moment.

And this is concretely manifested in the Zanpakuto in her hand.

Thousands of cracks instantly covered the entire blade, then shattered, turning into countless spiritual particles that vanished into the air, leaving only a solitary hilt held in Saito's immortal hand.

As for the enormous phantom of the monk behind her, at the same moment, its body was cleaved in two.

There were no cries of pain, and no explosions.

You can even see the illusory image of the monk who crashed to both sides, with a subtle upward curve at the corners of his mouth.

"Soul Essence - Funeral Sacrifice!"

Higashino Shuichi had not expected that the power that should have belonged to Saito's immortal Bankai would be fed back to his sword in such a bizarre way the moment the monk's phantom fell.

The terrifying explosion didn't happen on Yoruichi Shihouin's side, but rather on Shuichi Higashino's side.

Even though Higashino Shuichi reacted in time, half of his body was still destroyed in the explosion.

"Cough cough cough, thank goodness, Yhwach's ability is tough!"

Amid the aftershocks of the explosion, Higashino Shuichi once again used his self-granted ability to rebuild his body, while inwardly reflecting on his experience.

Saito's Bankai ability, which allows him to die in a fight if he can't win, is truly impossible to defend against. Few others could withstand it. (End of Chapter)
