If it came to trapping people, only Giselle and Liltotto among them could do it.
Giselle can use her blood to turn the opponent into a zombie and forcibly control them, while Liltotto can swallow them into her stomach.
But the two of them clearly didn't want to do that.
First of all, it was uncertain whether Giselle's blood could control the opponent, given their strong Reiatsu. As for Liltotto, she had already stated her reason: she hated the feeling of indigestion.
"So we're just going to stand here and watch?" Candice said irritably. "If this continues and His Majesty sees this when he wakes up, we'll be punished!"
Liltotto was currently keeping track of the time.
Half an hour was almost up; presumably, the battle between the two sides would end here for now.
I wonder what the casualties are like on both sides.
No, the people from the World Government have Immortality, so there probably aren't many deaths.
Boom!
Another massive tremor resounded from the distance as a colossal creature suddenly burst through the ground, emerging from the earth!
On the frontmost battlefield, Mask De Masculine was fighting Warcury, while Saturn was entangled with Bambi, who had flown back into the fray.
It was at this moment that the Sandworm burst out from the earth, opening its massive maw and instantly swallowing Mask De Masculine whole!
Mask De Masculine, or rather, James's Schrift is 'S', and his ability is 'The Hero'. He appears to be just a small bald man, Mask De Masculine's attendant.
In reality, Mask De Masculine Mask De Masculine is merely a hero imagined by James.
James grants Mask De Masculine power through cheering, essentially to make The Hero of his fantasies even stronger.
And now, he was killed by the very hero he had imagined.
Subsequently, even the imagined hero was swallowed in one gulp by the giant Sandworm.
The Sandworm suddenly erupted from underground, and after devouring the Superstar, it landed heavily back on the ground, causing the vast area to shake.
"Time is running out, Peter. Attack the palace directly."
Since the Gorosei shared a telepathic link, Warcury wasn't surprised by Peter's sudden appearance; he simply urged him to strike as quickly as possible.
Liltotto had said from the beginning that they could only exist here for half an hour.
Now, those thirty minutes were almost up, yet they hadn't even seen the enemy's king.
This was truly a complete failure!
"Understood!"
The Sandworm responded and opened its massive maw once more, this time aiming directly at the palace!
But... Pfft!
In an instant, this giant Sandworm... was actually split in two?!
Mask De Masculine, who had just been swallowed by the Sandworm, hadn't even reached its digestive organs before falling out of the bisectioned body!
What?!
Warcury's pupils dilated. A flash of light seemed to have streaked past just now, but it was so fast that he almost couldn't see it clearly!
To think a single strike took out Peter... No, not just the Sandworm, but even himself... Warcury was shocked to find his vision spinning, as if heaven and earth were turning upside down.
But in reality... it was because his head had been severed from his body?!
That massive boar head flew into the sky, trailing a spray of blood. The absolute defense that had been like an iron wall, impervious to all previous attacks, was sliced through like tofu in this moment?!
And all of this was simply because of the blond man who had appeared before them in an instant and swung his blade!
"To have made it all the way here while His Majesty slumbers... but your luck ends here."
With long golden hair, Haschwalth looked calmly at the two giant monsters he had slain, his voice flat and unhurried:
"The scales of war shall begin to tilt from this moment on."
He finally made his move!
The Master of the Sternritter, the successor to the Emperor of the Wandenreich, Yhwach's advisor, possessor of the Schrift 'B', and the man closest to God in the Wandenreich—Jugram Haschwalth!
This single strike instantly and severely wounded two of the Gorosei!
Setting Saint Peter aside for a moment, the Fengxi form assumed by Saint Warcury possessed terrifying defensive power, yet even it could not withstand a single blow from Haschwalth!
Of course, the most terrifying thing about the Gorosei was their Immortality—a regenerative ability that allowed them to recover even if they were crushed into powder.
But now, even regeneration at the Gorosei level failed to restore them immediately?!
Indeed, Immortality is not absolute.
If a strike is infused with powerful Conqueror's Haki, even the Knights of God will be affected.
While they can still regenerate, the speed of that regeneration becomes sluggish.
The Immortality of the Gorosei is of a higher level than that of the Knights of God!
However, if they encounter an overwhelming amount of Haki, they will still be affected.
In the world of Bleach, there is no distinction between Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki; all energy is collectively known as Reiatsu!
As long as one possesses an incredibly fearsome Reiatsu, they can suppress Immortality just like Conqueror's Haki!
Haschwalth's Reiatsu was clearly sufficient; the Immortality that ordinary Sternritter could not overcome began to recover slowly under his blade.
"Oh... they can still recover even like this."
Haschwalth was somewhat surprised as he watched them gradually recover.
He hadn't expected that even with his personal intervention, these people would still be able to regenerate, and while it was slowed down, it couldn't exactly be called slow.
"However, this is as far as it goes."
If one strike couldn't kill them, then ten strikes, or a hundred—as long as it was effective, Immortality could eventually be broken.
Only... "Indeed... it ends here."
Saint Warcury spoke in a low voice, feeling a bit of regret yet also a faint sense of relief, having restored half of his head:
"Next time, you won't be so lucky."
In an instant... all the intruders vanished!
Haschwalth's Schrift is 'B', and his ability is 'The Balance'.
Its effect is the ability to adjust the luck and misfortune of things in his vicinity.
When an enemy experiences luck, he can bestow an equal amount of misfortune upon them. This misfortune renders the enemy powerless and makes them incredibly fragile.
Furthermore, any misfortune that befalls him is also distributed to the enemy, meaning the enemy suffers the 'misfortune' they themselves caused Haschwalth.
Haschwalth's own misfortune is also transferred to his 'Shield of Sacrifice', which then reflects it back onto the opponent.
