When he woke up again, a full-of-energy Beltz got out of bed.
After washing his face, he stepped out of his room.
Before, when he had first crossed over, he hadn't looked closely at the Wandenreich. But now, he had stabilized his state of mind.
Looking at this massive empire covered in ice and snow, Beltz took a deep breath.
This is the world I'll be living in from now on... no matter how you look at it, it feels a little bit hopeless.
I wonder... can this ability of mine take people through with me?
Beltz suddenly had such a thought.
After all, being alone did feel a bit like being a lone force.
He had saved so many people in the One Piece World, including the Red-Haired brothers, Bartholomew Kuma, Ivankov, and Ginny, all figures who would shine brilliantly in the future plot.
Especially Red-Haired Shanks; he was one of the future's famous Four Emperors.
If he could still reach the strength of a Four Emperor in the future and stand on his side, he would be a massive help in both the One Piece World and the world of Bleach.
In the One Piece World as well, if he could bring people from the world of Bleach into it, they could also be a huge help.
He wasn't strong right now, but there were powerful people available.
When the time came, it wouldn't be impossible to assemble a Four Emperors' crew.
Of course, this matter of crossing over was his greatest secret; he would never easily tell anyone else.
Within the Wandenreich, his relationship with Liltotto was decent, as they were of the same batch.
Furthermore, Liltotto wasn't all that loyal to Yhwach.
After Yhwach's Auswählen, she immediately turned traitor to fight him.
Her strength was also decent, being among the very strong group within the regular Sternritter.
She not only dodged the light of The Antithesis but even helped her teammate Giselle dodge it as well.
PePe Waccabrada, also a Sternritter, was swallowed by her in one bite.
Especially since she was the hidden leader of the Bambies, if she could help him, it would be equivalent to bringing a whole girl group.
But... it was still too early to talk about these things.
Even if he wanted to ask Liltotto for help, he would have to wait until his own strength grew a bit more.
As the one leading the crossing, his strength had to surpass the others; otherwise, he wouldn't feel at ease!
Standing on the stairs of the White Palace, looking toward the platform above, he pressed down on the brim of his hat.
"Hey, Beltz, is your body feeling better?"
A man's voice came from above, the voice of a colleague who patrolled with him.
Ordinary Quincy had to work.
According to Beltz's memory, he was responsible for patrolling on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, monitoring on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, and he had a day off on Sundays.
Of course, this work was very leisurely.
After all, the Wandenreich was hidden in the shadow of the Seireitei and hadn't been discovered for a thousand years, so there was no need to worry about foreign invasion.
And the residents in the empire rarely had conflicts, so patrolling for them just meant doing a lap around the empire, after which they could go back to rest or train.
Monitoring was even more relaxed; it just involved sitting in one's assigned area and that was it.
Because it was hidden in the shadows, the Wandenreich could monitor every move of the Seireitei.
The Seireitei's development over the millennium had actually always been under the Wandenreich's surveillance.
Thinking of this, Beltz felt a bit sorry for the Shinigami.
What kind of life were these Shinigami living?
There was surveillance everywhere inside the Seireitei.
First, the Tsunayashiro Family of the Soul Society's Five Great Noble Families had a Video Department that monitored many areas of the Seireitei, the Soul Society, and even the Human World.
Next was the Twelfth Division headed by Mayuri; they also monitored many areas of the Seireitei.
Then there was Azashiro Kenpachi, who was locked in prison; this Shinigami's ability was to fuse with the air, and he had already fused with the Reishi of the entire Seireitei, making him effectively omnipresent and aware of every move of the Shinigami.
Finally, there was the Wandenreich's monitoring.
He had to be glad he hadn't crossed over as a Shinigami; otherwise, even taking a bath might be peeked at by the Quincy.
It was fortunate the world of Bleach wasn't some erotic novel world; otherwise, any random Quincy could take a recording and say, 'Madam, you wouldn't want to be found out by XX, would you?' and wouldn't that be the end of it?
Overall, the Wandenreich was still a place of intense internal competition.
Because they had lost too miserably before, losing to the Shinigami in two great wars and having their race nearly wiped out twice, the surviving Quincy had been receiving revenge education since birth.
Their life goal was to seek revenge on the Shinigami!
They had had enough of living in these dark, damp, and cold shadows; they, the Quincy, also wanted land under the sun!
To this end, they sacrificed entertainment, lived extremely simple lives, performed missions like ascetics, trained, and gave their all for the final Holy War.
Like Beltz's room, it was very simple, containing only the necessities for life.
"Better now."
Beltz shook his head gently and replied to the Quincy above.
He was still thinking too much; those grand narratives shouldn't be his concern right now; he just needed to take care of himself.
"Hard work. I'll take over for you."
Beltz walked over and said.
"Yeah, just go around Silbern later."
Silbern was the main city of the Wandenreich, located at the very core of the empire.
It was said that the Quincy Emperor, Yhwach, was sleeping within Silbern.
The residences of the Sternritter members were in these high towers near Silbern, guarding it in a circular formation.
As Beltz walked, he admired this strange landscape, so different from what he had seen in his previous life.
Patrolling was just that dull and boring, especially patrolling near Silbern; that was even more tedious.
If he were patrolling the outer streets, he might see some disputes or entertainment.
But who would dare make trouble near Silbern?
This was where the big figures of the Sternritter were.
If any trouble did occur, it would be caused by those restless Sternritter themselves; in such cases, it was better for grunts like them not to interfere.
If they went, the others might just stop after a few blows, and no one would care if the one trying to stop the fight was killed.
"Yo, looks like your health has improved."
He walked for a while and suddenly noticed a few women gathered together talking ahead and above.
They were on the third floor; some of the women were leaning against the wall, and one was even sitting directly on top of it, holding a donut in her left hand and a hot dog in her right, eating as she spoke.
Beltz originally wanted to go around them, but the people there seemed to have noticed him.
Liltotto Lamperd, 'G' of the Sternritter, saw Beltz walking over and took the initiative to greet him.
