"Yes, sir!"
Everyone present acknowledged the order. The Parliamentary Institute immediately sprang into action. Its Strategy Department, made up of brilliant minds from the Three Kingdoms, the Naruto world, the Pirate world, and many others, began analyzing the battlefield, making decisions one after another, and quickly sending those orders throughout the army.
Inside the Parliamentary Institute, messengers rushed back and forth, sprinting toward each legion.
"Giant Legion! By order of the Parliamentary Institute, move out immediately to the Human World. Secure the northwest and wipe out the Crimson Flow Army!"
"Guilty Legion! Under Commander Ouma Shu, proceed to the Human World at once. Take control of the eastern front and eliminate every Nie Kingdom force in the Human World!"
"Dragon Emperor Legion! General Yang, carry out your orders. Advance into the Human World and attack the Crimson Flow Army in the south!"
"Akame Legion! Proceed to the Human World and assault the western enemy forces!"
"Qin Legion! Three Kingdoms Legion! Advance into the Human World, seize the northeast, and be ready to reinforce any front at a moment's notice!"
Order after order was issued without pause.
The moment each legion received its instructions, they immediately mobilized.
"We obey our King's command!"
The deafening roar shook all of Hueco Mundo.
The next moment, massive armies marched forward, entering the Garganta passages the Arrancar had prepared in advance and pouring into the Human World.
For this full-scale war, Qin's Nation had committed nearly ten million troops. Their ranks stretched as far as the eye could see, an overwhelming and terrifying sight.
These nearly ten million soldiers were all elite warriors who had once been brought into the Underworld Realm in batches to undergo Hollowfication. Even those who had originally been ordinary fighters had gained tremendous power after their Hollow transformation.
Meanwhile, in the deserts of Hueco Mundo, countless people were making their way toward Las Noches.
As they looked across the Qin's Nation armies spread throughout nearly all of Hueco Mundo, their eyes were filled with shock and caution.
"So this is the strength under that Otherworld King?"
"It's truly terrifying. Looking at this, he really does have the power to stand against King Chengdui."
Yhwach's eyes flickered as he spoke in a low voice.
"There are simply too many experts. On our way here, we've already seen nearly thirty million elite troops."
"Against numbers like these, it doesn't matter how powerful we are. A human wave attack on this scale would overwhelm anyone."
Behind him, the Sternritter all wore grave expressions.
"And the people standing at the front, the obvious commanders, aren't weak either."
"It's unbelievable. How can one world produce so many experts?"
"It's beyond imagination... enough to make your skin crawl."
The group quietly discussed what they had seen, all deeply shaken.
Naturally, they couldn't understand how things worked in the King's World.
There, civilization had reached the point where cultivation was universal. Everyone trained to become stronger. In such an era, unless someone was simply too lazy to practice or had no interest in it, knowing a few techniques and becoming powerful was the most natural thing in the world.
It was like compulsory education on Earth in his previous life. Everyone learned to read and write and gained basic knowledge. Literacy laid the foundation for intellectual growth, raised the overall level of education, and drove economic development.
Take web novels, for example, the most popular form of entertainment before Qin Yi left Earth. If ordinary people couldn't even read, who would follow them?
As Yhwach and the members of the Wandenreich continued through Hueco Mundo toward Las Noches, they remained silent.
This journey had truly broadened their horizons.
The moment Yhwach saw large numbers of Shinigami from the Nie Kingdom flooding into Soul Society, followed shortly afterward by the arrival of thirty-six Venerables, he knew they could no longer remain where they were.
The Nie Kingdom's experts were clearly different from ordinary Shinigami. They had far too many elites. In just one or two hours, dozens of them had already shown signs of discovering the Ice Palace. Given enough time, they would inevitably find them.
That would be a serious problem.
So Yhwach chose to head to Hueco Mundo to meet up with Qin Yi and the others.
What he hadn't expected was to witness scene after scene that left them utterly stunned.
By the time they reached the Naruto World Legion and the Pirate World Legion, the terrifying combat strength on display had made every member of the Wandenreich turn solemn, with fear creeping into their hearts.
This was an army so vast it inspired nothing but terror and despair.
'Eighty million... Nearly eighty million troops in total!'
Yhwach murmured to himself inwardly.
"Yhwach, our King has been waiting for you in Las Noches for quite some time. Please, come in."
Standing at the entrance was the Arrancar, Coyote, smiling as he gestured for him to enter.
"Mm."
Yhwach nodded and stepped into Las Noches.
The moment he entered, his pupils contracted again.
Figures stood throughout the hall, and every single one of them possessed power that made him wary. They were at least Captain-class by the standards of the Shinigami World, no, judging by the ominous aura they gave off, they seemed to have already surpassed that level.
"Yhwach."
Qin Yi smiled as he called out to him.
Everyone inside Las Noches turned to look, then stepped aside to open a path for him.
"King of Hell, I've brought all of my men. How do we fight this war?"
Yhwach quickly walked over to Qin Yi and asked in a deep voice.
"We take the Human World first, then move on Soul Society."
Qin Yi answered directly without hiding anything.
"In fact, I've already sent troops into the Human World. If my timing is right, the battle should have already begun."
Yhwach froze.
"So soon?"
"In war, speed is everything."
Qin Yi replied calmly.
"I have no interest in setting up battle formations and staring across the battlefield at King Chengdui, wasting time."
Then his eyes narrowed, a cold light flashing within them.
"He wants to swallow my world."
"But what he doesn't know... is that I intend to swallow his as well."
Yhwach was stunned.
What he hadn't expected was that these two kings from other worlds had already turned 'their' world into nothing more than an arena for their duel, paying no attention at all to everyone else living in it.
"As for the Wandenreich, you'll come with me. Our target is King Chengdui... and Soul Society."
Qin Yi's words made Yhwach nod.
For some reason, he suddenly felt his emotions surging, his blood beginning to boil.
The feeling was unfamiliar, yet he understood it completely.
A war on this scale was far more awe-inspiring than the campaign he had launched a thousand years ago.
A war to overturn the world itself...
A conflict spanning three different worlds.
Just imagining it was enough to make anyone's heart tremble.
---
At the same time, in the Human World...
The northeastern front.
Akashi sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes closed as he carefully familiarized himself with the Shinigami powers he had just obtained.
Then, loud shouts suddenly rang out around him.
"Alert!"
"Enemies spotted in the sky! Everyone, stay on guard and prepare for battle!"
"Move! Full alert! Notify the entire army!"
The urgent cries echoed one after another.
Akashi frowned and slowly opened his eyes.
"What happened?"
He instinctively asked as he looked up into the sky.
The next instant, his expression changed dramatically.
"That's...?!"
Ripples of black and crimson spread across the sky.
Two or three breaths later, countless figures in strange robes burst out, wielding spears, swords, and other weapons.
The moment they appeared, their faces twisted with killing intent. Roaring in unison, they dove straight toward the ground.
"Kill!!"
Akashi instantly realized what was happening.
"It's Qin's Nation's army!!"
