Just as Kyōraku Shunsui used the ultimate secret "Katen Kyōkotsu - Karamatsu Shinjū", Haschwalth, as the target, also instinctively sensed the danger.
"Could it be that you want to die with me?" Haschwalth said in a deep voice.
Haschwalth did not know what kind of ability Kyōraku Shunsui had used. Clearly, the other party's power was not worth mentioning in his eyes, and the balance behind him also showed that his "momentum" was at an equal level with the other party.
Under the same status, he could still feel a threat to his life, and this could only be explained by dying together.
"Die together? What a disappointing description. In my opinion, this should be considered as clearing away grievances and going to the Yellow Springs together!"
At this time, Kyōraku Shunsui had already sat cross-legged on the ground, looking very leisurely and relaxed.
Faced with Kyōraku Shunsui's strange behavior, Haschwalth snorted coldly and raised the long sword in his hand, slashing out two times forward. However, to his surprise, the blade of light he had swung disappeared under this dim halo, and could not touch the other party at all.
Looking at Haschwalth, who was launching an attack on him, Kyōraku Shunsui ignored him and instead took out three wine cups from his arms, uncorked the wine pot at his waist, and began to pour wine for himself.
"When I launch this move, neither you nor I can harm each other. We are completely equal existences. At such a moment, wouldn't you like to share a drink with me before you die?" Kyōraku Shunsui said with a smile.
While speaking, Kyōraku Shunsui picked up the first cup of wine and raised it high.
"The first cup is a thank-you wine, thanking you for accompanying my incompetent self all these years!"
In the surprised gazes of Haschwalth and Ise Nanao, the wine in Kyōraku Shunsui's hand slowly disappeared, as if it had been drunk by an invisible person.
"The second cup is a toast, to you, this powerful opponent who amazes me!"
Kyōraku Shunsui stretched his arm forward, wanting to hand the wine cup to Haschwalth in front of him. However, seeing that the other party was completely unmoved, it seemed that he did not intend to accept this toast.
Faced with Haschwalth's silent refusal, Kyōraku Shunsui just smiled indifferently and slowly poured the wine horizontally on the ground in front of him, indicating that the toast was complete.
When Kyōraku Shunsui continued to pick up the third cup of wine, Ise Nanao on the side could no longer bear it. When she heard Kyōraku Shunsui's conversation with Haschwalth just now, she understood the plan of her Captain.
"Captain Kyōraku!"
Ise Nanao wanted to rush forward to stop Kyōraku Shunsui, but an invisible force firmly stopped her, trapping her in the darkness.
No matter how hard she tried to move forward, she could not walk into the halo that enveloped Kyōraku Shunsui and Haschwalth. She could only watch the two of them with her own eyes.
In fact, Kyōraku Shunsui was not just a Captain to Ise Nanao. Among the entire Gotei 13, few people knew that Kyōraku Shunsui was actually Ise Nanao's uncle.
Although Ise Nanao had always shown a cold face to Kyōraku Shunsui, always criticizing him for being lazy and lecherous, and always not having a proper form, she actually relied on and respected her uncle very much in her heart, and also knew that those playful and cynical behaviors he showed were just a protective color to disguise himself.
Seeing Ise Nanao on the side who was already crying loudly, a trace of reluctance finally appeared in Kyōraku Shunsui's eyes.
However, he had no other choice at this time. As the Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13, he had his own responsibilities and missions. He had to do everything in his power to defeat this extremely powerful enemy in front of him, even if the price of victory was his own life!
"The third cup is a punishment wine, to punish myself, who has achieved nothing, for failing to fulfill the old man's last wish and shoulder the responsibility of being the Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13!"
After saying this, Kyōraku Shunsui was about to pick up the wine cup and drink it all in one gulp. The moment he finished drinking the wine, it would be the moment when he, his Zanpakutō, and the opponent in front of him would go to the Yellow Springs together!
However, at this critical moment, a hand firmly grasped Kyōraku Shunsui's wrist, preventing him from drinking this cup of wine.
"Captain-Commander Kyōraku, don't rush to punish yourself with this cup of wine. It's better to leave it to toast me later."
Not knowing when, Yūsuke had actually stood next to Kyōraku Shunsui. At this time, Yūsuke had a calm smile on his face, looking at Kyōraku Shunsui, who was preparing to die in order to defeat the enemy, with an admiring gaze.
Behind Yūsuke, there were also three other Shinigami standing. They were Yū, Tōshirō, and Rangiku.
Seeing Yūsuke's appearance, the faces of several people present changed.
Kyōraku Shunsui's expression was very complicated, as if there was both rejoicing and regret. No one knew what he was thinking.
Ise Nanao, on the other hand, was filled with joy and surprise. As an enemy, Yūsuke's existence made her feel despair, and she did not know how to defeat this man who had defeated the strongest Shinigami Yamamoto Genryūsai.
During that great battle in front of Las Noches, although she did not see the battle between Yūsuke and the former Captain-Commander Yamamoto Genryūsai, the aura emanating from Yūsuke alone made her unable to forget it until now.
But when Yūsuke appeared as an ally, he was like a pillar of support, making people feel extremely at ease, as if he was everyone's strongest backing!
Although Haschwalth's expression was still unchanged, there was an undisguised vigilance in his eyes.
He looked at Yūsuke and said in a deep voice: "Yūsuke Uchiha, the head of the five Special War Powers in His Majesty's mouth. As the master of Las Noches, why are you assisting the Seireitei? And it seems that you were prepared for the Wandenreich's plan, and even created a barrier in advance that can prevent His Majesty from reclaiming power."
Yūsuke nodded lightly to Yū behind him, signaling her to use her ability to dispel the "Karamatsu Shinjū" that Kyōraku Shunsui had set up.
Yū immediately released her Zanpakutō, and as a spiritual power halo bloomed, the pitch-black scene around them disappeared, and the First Division barracks of the Seireitei reappeared in front of everyone.
"Lord Haschwalth, didn't your 'The Almighty' Majesty foresee that I would take action to assist the Seireitei?" Yūsuke said with a smile.
In Yūsuke's view, neither Yhwach nor the Spirit King could be truly all-knowing and all-powerful. There was no so-called all-knowing and all-powerful in this world.
Their power was just that they had mastered some high-level abilities to explore the past and predict the future.
If "The Almighty" really allowed them to know everything and control everything, the Spirit King would not have been ambushed and turned into a human pillar, and Yhwach would not have been defeated in the Thousand-Year Blood War in the end!
Hearing Yūsuke's half-joking and half-mocking words, a cold light flashed in Haschwalth's eyes.
The spiritual particle long sword in his hand pointed directly at Yūsuke, and he slowly opened his mouth and said: "No one can slander His Majesty in front of me. All those who slander His Majesty must die."
Yūsuke's hand also pressed on the hilt of the Zanpakutō, and said with a calm expression: "Then it depends on whether you have the ability to maintain Yhwach's dignity."
Just as Yūsuke's voice fell, Haschwalth had already taken the lead and slashed at him with his sword.
Yūsuke also quickly drew his Zanpakutō, and the two swords intersected and pressed against each other. The powerful spiritual pressure impact generated by the collision instantly razed the entire First Division barracks to the ground!
Kyōraku Shunsui and the others on the side were forced to retreat far away due to this powerful impact, ensuring that they were outside the battle circle of Yūsuke and Haschwalth.
When he was fighting Kyōraku Shunsui just now, Haschwalth did not use his full strength, but fought with his normal power.
But now that his opponent had been changed to Yūsuke, he knew that he could no longer hold back, and had to do everything in his power to have a chance to defeat the other party.
After the two exchanged blows, the surrounding area was filled with raging spiritual pressure. The spiritual pressure contained in each slash was almost enough to kill an ordinary Captain of the Gotei 13. The impact caused by the collision alone could completely destroy an area of hundreds of square meters.
In just a few seconds of exchanging blows, the ground where the entire First Division barracks was located had turned into a huge pit, and all the buildings had sunk into the pit as if they had been flattened!
Yūsuke and Haschwalth's battle was very fierce, and the two seemed to be evenly matched. However, everyone present was an expert, and it could still be seen that Yūsuke was better in terms of spiritual pressure, and Haschwalth was already at a disadvantage.
"Heilig Pfeil - Holy Sword!"
Haschwalth swung the long sword in his right hand, steadily blocking a slash from Yūsuke.
The spiritual power in his left hand condensed, and six spiritual particle long swords formed a circle behind him, and then the sword tips all locked onto Yūsuke. This sharp and unparalleled spiritual pressure immediately made Yūsuke feel a faint pain in his skin.
Yūsuke immediately used the recoil generated by the slash to retreat backwards, while pointing his left hand forward, and a powerful spiritual pressure erupted.
"Shintō - Kōten Ishizue!"
At the moment when he used the Shintō spell, Yūsuke suddenly saw a huge golden balance floating behind Haschwalth. This golden balance was affected by an invisible force, and the end that was originally in a high position fell, while the end that was in a low position rose.
Yūsuke knew that this was Haschwalth activating his "The Balance" ability, and the two ends of the balance should be the power of him and Haschwalth.
A huge crystal stele that reached into the sky rose from the ground, instantly blocking Yūsuke's front.
At this time, although "Kōten Ishizue" was still powerful, Yūsuke was very sure that it had not achieved his expected defensive effect. It seemed that it was affected by the power of the other party's golden balance, which caused the power of the spell he had used to be weakened a lot.
At the same time, Haschwalth's six holy swords had also finished accumulating power. The six spiritual particle holy swords, carrying powerful spiritual pressure, actually broke through the seemingly impeccable crystal stele in an instant and pierced towards Yūsuke behind the stele.
Yūsuke spread his five fingers on his left hand, and a spatial vortex appeared in an instant, sucking the six holy swords into it. At this time, Haschwalth also killed his way to Yūsuke's front through the hollows that the holy swords had penetrated on the crystal stele.
The spatial vortex suddenly enlarged, swallowing both Haschwalth and Yūsuke's figures into it.
