Simply put, Haschwalth can reflect the damage caused by an opponent's attack, and any damage he receives himself is transferred to the Shield of Substitution and then reflected.
It's equivalent to Haschwalth not needing to bear the attacks the enemy launches at him, while the enemy has to bear twice the damage.
Furthermore, when Haschwalth's attacks hit the opponent, they simply cannot withstand them.
To put it even more simply, fighting anyone is like beating up a grandson.
It was a form of 'luck' that the Gorosei were able to break through all the way to the outskirts of the Royal Palace.
First, the Sternritter did not all take action, and the Royal Guard remained on standby.
Second, Yhwach happened to be in a deep sleep, so they didn't have to face the most terrifying Quincy Emperor.
Because of this luck, they were able to reach Haschwalth.
Haschwalth, however, transformed this luck into misfortune, which is why he could take down two of the Gorosei with a single strike, including Saint Warcury, who possessed incredibly terrifying defensive power!
He even... caused their regeneration to become sluggish.
At this point... the outcome was already decided.
Because even if the Gorosei continued to struggle, even if 'luck' was saving them, the luckier they were, the more misfortune Haschwalth could bring down upon them.
Haschwalth's offensive would only become more intense, and the Gorosei's regeneration ability would eventually reach its limit.
Even if they didn't reach their limit, their recovery speed would get slower and slower, and once they were completely incapable of resisting, they could easily be bound and restrained.
But something Haschwalth hadn't expected happened.
In that instant... all the monsters, all the enemies... they all vanished?!
Haschwalth's pupils dilated as his Reiatsu perception instantly spread throughout the entire Wandenreich, but he truly could no longer feel that strange Reiatsu?!
Elsewhere, people fighting the monsters were also stunned to see their opponents suddenly disappear.
What... is going on?
How did they suddenly disappear?
"What on earth is happening?!"
Bambi, who was dodging Saturn's attacks while creating Reishi bombs to bombard the area below, was furious at the sight!
She was in a pathetic state and hadn't even had the chance to vent before the enemy just vanished?!
This fight was way too frustrating!
The enemies had Immortality the whole time, and their attacks had almost no effect on them!
This is just cheating!
"Suddenly... disappeared?"
Liltotto and the others were also greatly shocked to see those five massive creatures disappear from the Wandenreich.
Candice looked around and exclaimed, "They really are all gone! There wasn't even a sign, they just suddenly vanished!"
Boom!
Bazz-B, who was in a fierce battle with Bakotsu, released a massive flame blade, about to swallow the centaur old man, but when the flames roared past and several surrounding houses were incinerated, Bakotsu was nowhere to be found?!
"Phew..."
Bazz-B exhaled hot air and looked around in confusion.
Unlike the other bewildered Quincies, Beltz, who was currently in Liltotto's room, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
So damn tiring.
He had been accumulating for a long time, but providing for so many people like the Gorosei and the Knights of God was still too difficult.
From his position, he couldn't see how the battle was going; he could only sense the intensity of the war through the collisions of Reiatsu.
Haschwalth and the Royal Guard hadn't moved out of concern that assassins might try to kill Yhwach, and the strongest among the regular Sternritter, Gremmy Thoumeaux, was imprisoned, while many others in the regular Sternritter were slacking off.
This led the World Government side to charge through initially, appearing unstoppable.
There was no helping it; this was the problem with the Sternritter.
They were disunited, rash, conceited, unwilling to accept help, and unwilling to help others.
Otherwise, the battle on the World Government's side would have been much more grueling.
Regardless, his goal was finally achieved.
Several Sternritter positions were now vacant.
Especially the who posed the greatest threat to him, were directly taken out by Liltotto!
This was the most important thing.
Actually, whether he could become a Sternritter wasn't the most important; the most important thing was to eliminate those mimic brothers.
Their threat to Beltz was simply too great.
Next, he would have to see if the vacant Sternritter positions matched his Schrift type.
If Sternritter positions became vacant, Yhwach would definitely select a few more from among the Quincies to fill them.
But it wasn't necessarily based on strength.
It also depended on whether your Schrift matched the missing ones.
For example, if the Schrift of the deceased Sternritter were Y, U, and I, and Beltz's Schrift started with D, then Yhwach wouldn't choose him to be a Sternritter.
Beltz couldn't see what his own soul ability was; only Yhwach could see through it directly.
So how did that saying go?
If I get it, it's my luck; if I lose it, it's my fate.
Even without a Schrift, he would at most just feel a bit of regret.
Standing above, Beltz saw that Liltotto was already on her way back.
When she returned, Beltz opened the door to greet her:
"Lady Liltotto, you're back?"
Liltotto slumped onto the sofa with an expression of exhaustion like a dead dog, saying, "I'm never doing this kind of thing again, it's so tiring!"
"It should... only be this once," Beltz said somewhat uncertainly.
"Are you hungry now? Shall I go cook?"
"Forget it, Haschwalth will probably call a meeting later. We'll head over together then."
"A meeting..."
"Oh, you probably don't know," Liltotto said calmly. "I expect someone is going to be executed."
"?" Beltz froze for a moment, then thought of the unlucky brothers Cang Du and BG9 who were executed during the Thousand-Year Blood War arc in the manga.
Those two had fallen into a disadvantage while fighting the Shinigami, and Yhwach, thinking they were a disgrace, directly ordered Haschwalth to execute them.
He whispered, "So, this place is very dangerous."
Having such an emperor was truly a stroke of terrible luck.
Cang Du and the robot clearly still had combat capabilities, yet they were killed just like that.
With such an emperor, how could the empire not decline?
Noticing the change in Beltz's expression, Liltotto couldn't help but say, "It seems you know too? What? Were people executed in the future as well?"
"Yes, it was Cang Du and BG9," Beltz nodded in admission.
