"Sternritter 'A,' The Antithesis!"
"When I activate my ability, I can completely reverse events that have occurred between two points!"
"In simple terms…"
"All the damage I took has been transferred to you through The Antithesis!"
Uryū raised his hand, aiming a holy arrow at Haschwalth.
"Haschwalth, this is the end!"
Returning Haschwalth's earlier words, Uryū pulled his bowstring.
Whoosh!
Under countless eyes, the arrow struck true, precise and elegant.
"Argh!"
Haschwalth, once suspected as a traitor, was sent flying by the Reishi arrow, crashing into the rubble.
The "traitor" battle ended with Ishida Uryū's victory.
"Badass!"
"The transfer student's too strong! That Haschwalth guy broke my Zangetsu with one swing!"
On the school rooftop, Ichigo's envious shout rang out. Uryū's reversal and counterattack, pulling his bow with such flair, ignited Ichigo's chuunibyou spirit, his blood boiling with excitement.
Who'd have thought…
Yesterday, when they'd brushed past each other at the school office, Ichigo had found Uryū's aloof, cool-guy act annoying. Now, he realized his perspective was too narrow.
True big shots were this cool!
At the Ishida mansion, Uryū, watching his bow-drawing heroics, trembled with excitement.
"So strong!"
"Sternritter 'A,' the same power as the Quincy King! I never imagined I'd become this awesome!"
His confidence swelled. Grandfather, you must see this from the heavens. I've surpassed you and Dad, becoming the strongest pure-blood Quincy!
His youthful pride shone brightly.
But before he could revel too long, the video took another turn.
From the collapsing rubble, Haschwalth's cold voice emerged:
"I can't deny… your Sternritter power is unexpected. No wonder you thought you could stop me alone."
He praised, then scoffed arrogantly:
"But… don't think you're the only one who can reverse damage!"
Raising his Shield of Reprieve, an astonishing event unfolded.
Bang!
A rebounding sound echoed. Uryū's expression froze—shock, then terror, then agony.
"Argh!"
Time seemed to rewind. Uryū collapsed back into the blood pool.
This eerie scene sent shockwaves through the Bleach world.
"What?!"
"The damage reversed again?!"
"Is this a replay?!"
"Are these two playing ping-pong with injuries?!"
"I say they should both just die together!"
Reactions varied across Hueco Mundo, the Soul Society, and the Wandenreich. The Gotei 13 watched with amusement, thrilled to see two powerful Quincies tear each other apart. If they could both perish, even better!
In the Eleventh Division, Ikkaku Madarame gasped, while Kenpachi Zaraki frowned.
Both battle maniacs relied on straightforward "hacking" tactics. But Haschwalth and Uryū's Sternritter powers, flipping damage with mysterious rules, gave them a headache.
Such illogical abilities were the bane of their brute-force style!
"Look closely. Haschwalth's silver shield has cracks. That's likely the key to his damage reversal," Yumichika Ayasegawa deduced, sharp as ever.
"And his aura's climbing. His background's getting darker!" Yachiru Kusajishi added, her big eyes reflecting the shadowy abyss forming behind Haschwalth.
Darkness, annihilation, overwhelming pressure, and an indescribable evil aura.
Even through the screen, Yachiru felt suffocated, as if her secrets were laid bare.
In that moment, no secret could hide from Haschwalth's gaze.
"What's this ability?" Kenpachi's brows furrowed. Even a beast like him felt a twinge of unease, a first in his life.
Haschwalth's aura surged, the darkness behind him swelling with each step, like rolling waves filled with negative emotions.
He declared, "See this? This is the result of exchanging powers with His Majesty at night!"
"This… is The Almighty!"
The Bleach world fell into dead silence.
"The Almighty?!"
"Yhwach's power is finally exposed?!"
In the Fifth Division's underground chamber, Aizen Sōsuke's eyes widened with rare excitement.
The darkness enveloping Haschwalth, consuming the screen behind his blond hair, sparked a fiery gleam in Aizen's eyes.
"This power…"
Aizen's heart burned with desire. This was the force he'd craved for years, trapped at the Shinigami's peak by dimensional barriers.
"Lord Aizen, the evil aura from Haschwalth fills me with loneliness and fear…" Tōsen Kaname's trembling voice came from behind, his blindfold unable to shield him from the darkness piercing his soul.
The Almighty—knowing all, seeing the future, controlling everything.
An unmatched power that shook the Aizen trio.
"The Almighty! No wonder he's ranked sixth!" Gin Ichimaru stared at the dark screen, his heart roiling.
The oppressive aura froze his blood and spiritual pressure.
He couldn't imagine how terrifying Yhwach himself would be wielding this power.
"Gin, what are you waiting for?!" Aizen urged. "Take notes! Record every frame!"
"This will be the key to defeating Yhwach in the future!"
