In a low, deep voice, Yamamoto spoke.
Around him, those watching felt a fleeting vision of a hell composed of flames!
Within this hell, charred corpses were strikingly visible!
These were the souls of those who had died by Yamamoto's blade!
And now, a terrifying thing happened!
Supported by Yamamoto's Reiatsu, these charred corpses rose again!
"Wretches, die!"
Commanding the undead one after another, Yamamoto seemed to have returned to his days as Captain-Commander, commanding many Shinigami.
But now, Yamamoto looked less like the Captain-Commander of the Shinigami and more like Yhwach, the King of the Quincies.
Because this army of the dead consisted entirely of fallen Quincies.
The Quincies, wielding their bows, charged one by one at their former king!
Facing the march of countless undead, the two Yhwachs swung their massive Reishi Greatswords into blurs, yet still could not cut through them all!
Finally, the two Yhwachs, due to the pre-set boundaries of the arena, were compressed into an extremely confined space!
"Damn it, this will never end!" Yhwach said.
"Yes!" Loyd nodded, also looking at Yhwach.
Then, the two moved with perfect synchronicity, running in opposite directions!
They would use their numerical advantage to create distance!
But how could such a simple trick fool Yamamoto?
"Zanka no Tachi, North: Tenchi Kaijin!"
In an instant, before anyone could react, Yamamoto unleashed a slash of incredible speed!
In that moment, the two Yhwachs were cut in two by Yamamoto!
"Victory!!?" Watching the slain Yhwach, the middle-aged spectators in the rear were shocked.
"That was too easy, right?" Rukia exclaimed.
And while others didn't say it, their expressions conveyed the same thought!
Seeing this, Sora shook his head.
That was Yhwach. Could he be dealt with so easily?
And besides, where was the real Yhwach?
"Look more closely, Rukia." Sora spoke.
"Huh?" Hearing Sora's words, Rukia didn't react, but Byakuya immediately understood.
He looked inside the arena!
At that moment, Yhwach's Reiatsu was still strong.
But if one perceived more carefully, it was somewhat diminished.
It looked normal.
But the truth was, the current Yhwach didn't feel like Yhwach anymore!
And now, Yamamoto had also noticed this issue!
"Hmm?" Yamamoto looked at the corpses of the Yhwachs he had slain.
Then, Yamamoto saw with shock that the corpses began to change!
In the blink of an eye, two bald men with three eyes appeared before Yamamoto!
At that moment, one of them was still conscious.
Looking at the sky, the man muttered: "Forgive me, my lord, I can only go this far."
"Have I completed my mission?"
"You have, Royd!" A powerful male voice suddenly came!
Hearing this voice, everyone looked over in shock!
After the first and second Yhwach, a third Yhwach… had appeared!
"What's happening?" Some bewildered Shinigami asked.
"Does the King of the Quincies have multiple bodies?"
"Of course not!" Byakuya shook his head.
"Clearly, the previous two were fakes. The question is, why did they do this?"
Byakuya was puzzled!
At this moment, Yamamoto was similarly confused.
"Yhwach, you don't think that having me kill two underlings will dull my blade, do you?"
"If that's your plan, you're delusional. I could kill every Quincy today, and my blade wouldn't dull!"
"Heh!" Hearing Yamamoto's words, the real Yhwach said nothing.
"It's not to dull your blade."
"It's because..." As he spoke, Yhwach tapped his foot again!
In an instant, Yhwach appeared before Yamamoto!
The two clashed with their weapons, exchanging hundreds of blows in seconds!
Yhwach's true power was revealed!
Unlike the two impostors, Yhwach himself, even in swordsmanship, was far stronger than the fakes!
In a pure contest of skill, Yhwach was completely unfazed!
"Good, good, this is more like it!" During the exchange, Yamamoto could clearly feel this!
"It seems I'll have to use some real power!" Yamamoto realized.
So, when Yhwach clashed with him again!
Yamamoto punched Yhwach squarely in the abdomen!
