"Oh my, you've seen through me. What terrifying insight," Urahara said, laughing and joking to lighten the mood. "Since your mission is complete, little brother, does that mean we don't have to fight anymore?"
"Capture him with 'The Jail', Instructor. His Majesty only said to capture Ichigo Kurosaki alive, he never said anything about a living Kisuke Urahara," Bai Yuetong said, having no intention of joking around with Urahara, instead speaking to Quilge in an almost commanding tone.
"I understand. You really like ordering people around," Quilge said faintly, not refusing. "The head of the five Special War Powers got away, but capturing one of them, Kisuke Urahara, should make up for some of the loss."
With that, azure Reishi bars rapidly appeared around Urahara, beginning to form a giant spherical Reishi cage.
Even though Urahara was on guard after hearing their conversation, he couldn't dodge in time.
Because even before Bai Yuetong had instructed Quilge, a Blut Vene Anhaben shell large enough to cover a sphere several hundred meters around Urahara had already formed. He was already a bird in a cage.
Urahara dared not carelessly touch those things that could erode the human body until he had thoroughly studied Bai Yuetong's abilities. Grimmjow's fate was still fresh in his mind.
And behind him was the Senkaimon. If he dodged, the inattentive Ichigo Kurosaki might be intercepted by the resentful Quilge.
It was that moment of hesitation that prevented Urahara from escaping in time, and he was imprisoned by Quilge's 'Jail'.
"No matter what tricks you have up your sleeve, once you're locked in, you can't escape from 'The Jail'. The Schrift His Majesty granted me is 'J'! I am 'The Jail', Quilge Opie!" Quilge laughed loudly and arrogantly.
Among the five Special War Powers, Urahara's specialty was "means"—his ability to solve any problem or predicament with an endless array of unknown methods.
But in Quilge's view, as long as he was imprisoned by his 'Jail', no matter how many means Urahara had, he couldn't use them and could only die in despair.
"You're celebrating too early, Instructor," Bai Yuetong poured cold water on him. "Kisuke Urahara will definitely be able to escape from the prison. Don't let your guard down. Perhaps he let himself be captured so obediently as part of a plan to use the enemy's prison to buy himself some safe research time and to analyze the Quincy's abilities up close."
He knew that Urahara's Bankai, Kannonbiraki Benihime Aratame, had the ability to restructure anything it touched within its range, including living beings and buildings.
Quilge's 'Jail' was a bad match-up for Urahara, who could restructure anything. If he wanted to, Urahara could have used his Bankai on the spot to open a safe passage and escape.
The reason he didn't activate his Bankai and escape immediately was that he was worried about it being stolen, and he probably wanted to study the Quincy up close.
This wasn't a reckless risk for him; Urahara should have had that much confidence.
"You're being overly anxious," Quilge said with great displeasure.
This was a serious distrust of his ability and a trampling of his honor and pride. But since Bai Yuetong had saved his life, he couldn't just fly into a rage. He could only say sarcastically, "Since you think he did it on purpose, why did you let me use my ability and let him have his way?"
"Because I also need enough time to create the Usurping Altar," Bai Yuetong said, a cunning glint in his eyes.
"What did you say?" Quilge's mouth fell open, suspecting he had misheard.
Bai Yuetong didn't respond further. He extended his right hand, and five Reishi bullets shot out from his fingertips. He then threw out his own Medallion. The Reishi bullets and the Medallion converged, bursting into a dazzling holy light, finally forming a giant Quincy five-pointed star array above 'The Jail'.
"Unbelievable... You actually succeeded. I'm finally beginning to understand why His Majesty favors you so much. With such talent, you were truly born to be a Quincy!" Quilge muttered in utter shock. Recognizing the prototype of the 'Usurping Altar', he tremblingly took off his glasses and wiped the sweat from his brow.
The Sternritter's Medallion technology was actually a derivative application of Yhwach's Usurping Altar ability.
Therefore, the Medallions were completely dependent on Yhwach. Stealing a Soul Reaper's Bankai with the Medallion was not actually the Sternritter's own ability.
It was as if Yhwach had taken his own power to 'take' everything, combined it with the Wandenreich's technology, and made it into a mass-producible tool for his subordinates to borrow. And this was not a technique that ordinary Quincy could master through normal training.
But Bai Yuetong had actually used the Medallion, a derivative of His Majesty's ability, to reverse-engineer the true 'Usurping Altar'...
This was something Quilge had never heard of before!
"I'm still a little way off from true success," Bai Yuetong shook his head. "If I don't use the Medallion as a base and catalyst, and just rely on myself, it would be incredibly difficult to quickly construct an Usurping Altar and apply it on the battlefield."
"With your talent, it's only a matter of time. To be able to use the power of the Medallion to quickly deploy the Usurping Altar is a testament to your skill," Quilge thought. This kid had high standards, but with such talent, he shouldn't waste it and should indeed have strict standards for himself.
It was clear that with his proficiency in constructing the technique, this kid could build the Usurping Altar on his own without the Medallion. But such a high-level technique would still require a lot of preparation time for him at his current level.
Using the Medallion simply saved time and increased the success rate.
After all, the battlefield was ever-changing. You wouldn't be given a lot of time to gather Reishi, inscribe arrays, and chant spells.
Even the Soul Reapers' Kidō had special techniques to prioritize casting speed by abandoning the incantation first and then using an additional incantation to increase its power later. Quincy naturally had various equipment to assist with 'Heilig Gesang' casting, and could even pre-inscribe runes on silver tubes for quick casting.
"However, are you planning to place my 'Jail' on the Usurping Altar as well?" Quilge asked kindly. "Will that hinder your technique? Do you need me to open 'The Jail' when necessary?"
"Absolutely not. Instructor, your ability is great. Its only flaw that isn't a flaw is that it can't hold fellow Quincy, which means your ability can't block the power of a fellow Quincy and won't become a protective umbrella for Urahara. And, to be on the safe side, I've decided to 'take' the entire 'Jail' as well!"
Bai Yuetong controlled the Usurping Altar. The azure holy light shone above the prison, slowly melting into 'The Jail'.
Actually, when he got excited, he wanted to say 'refine', but considering the cultural differences, he used the more familiar 'take'.
At the same time, along with the holy light, imperceptible Negación Threads were also released by Bai Yuetong, seeming to collect real-time data from the surroundings, providing feedback to lay a good foundation for future improvements.
Soon, a large amount of what looked like liquid black and red 'water' was drawn out, flowing into Bai Yuetong's right hand, which was burning with a green 'flame'.
