Hueco Mundo.
With their own thoughts in mind, the group of Hueco Mundo bosses in Las Noches once again embarked on a journey to find Yhwach.
Their targets were still those three places: the Soul Society where the Soul Reapers resided, the human world, and Hueco Mundo where the Hollows resided.
However, what they didn't know was that when they focused their search on these three worlds, they were destined to find nothing, and their mission would never be completed.
Because, they would never have imagined that the place where Yhwach resided was within the shadow of the Seireitei!
To be precise, it was within the space inside the shadow of the Seireitei, strictly speaking, not belonging to any of the three realms: the Soul Society, the human world, and Hueco Mundo.
Not to mention Gin and the others, even with so many powerful Soul Reapers in the entire Soul Society, even Aizen, who was still in the Soul Society at the time, failed to discover the existence of the Wandenreich.
Therefore, their search was destined to be fruitless.
On the contrary, Yhwach knew that Gin and the others were looking for him.
…
Wandenreich, Palace.
"Your Majesty, we have learned the reason why those Soul Reapers are searching for you."
A handsome middle-aged man with blond hair, dressed in white, knelt on the ground and spoke with a respectful, even devout tone.
"Those Soul Reapers are subordinates of Aizen, the current leader of Hueco Mundo, the king of Hueco Mundo. The reason they are looking for Your Majesty is because Aizen was defeated by the human named Mochizuki Hui, and before leaving, this man told Aizen Your Majesty's name."
The middle-aged man spoke, then fell silent.
Upon the throne sat a man with long black hair and beard, a deep and fierce countenance, red pupils, three silver medals on each side of his collar, and a dark red cloak.
His name was Yhwach, the founder of the Wandenreich, and its Majesty.
"Very well, Jugram."
Yhwach spoke, then pondered inwardly.
He had been observing this human for a long time.
Because he possessed tremendous power.
Yhwach had watched the battle between Hui and the gotei 13. He knew of Hui's strength, which even surpassed Yamamoto.
Actually, this wasn't anything special. There were too many powerful Soul Reapers and humans. There would always be a few amazing geniuses in the world, who would grow up silently.
However, Hui was different from those geniuses. He was simply too strong, and his appearance was too sudden, as if he had appeared out of thin air.
Yhwach had lived for far too long, and this world held almost no secrets for him.
The powerful people or Soul Reapers in this world were all within Yhwach's grasp.
However, Hui was completely beyond his control.
This feeling made Yhwach feel a little uneasy.
But what made him feel most uneasy was that Hui knew about him, Yhwach!
This was simply too astonishing. After all, the last time he had appeared was a thousand years ago.
A thousand years had passed, and the traces he had left in this world had been erased by time. The Soul Reapers who knew of his existence were few and far between.
And even those who knew, no longer paid attention to him.
After all, what was the difference between a cripple who had lost his heartbeat, consciousness, and power, and a stone or a tree?
In such a state, there was simply no need to worry.
However, Hui not only knew about him but also explicitly stated that he would face him in the future. This meant that Hui regarded his future self as an opponent.
"Send someone to contact this Hui. I need to know his abilities."
After a long while, Yhwach spoke again.
Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.
He was always someone who controlled everything, knew everything, and never fought unprepared battles.
Since Hui had explicitly stated that there would be a battle between them in the future, then Yhwach needed to prepare for this battle in advance.
Therefore, he needed to know Hui's abilities first.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Jugram spoke, and the members of the Sternritter flashed through his mind, finally settling on a particular Sternritter.
"Go."
Yhwach spoke, and Jugram respectfully withdrew.
Not long after, Jugram arrived at a certain building in the Wandenreich.
This was the headquarters of the Sternritter.
After entering, the number of people gradually increased.
Because there were thirty members of the Sternritter inside.
Moreover, these were thirty Sternritter whose strength was greater than or equal to that of a captain-level Soul Reaper.
They were all Quincy, each member possessing a Schrift and the power represented by that Schrift.
Almost all of them wore white hooded cloaks with a star cross on the back as a distinguishing feature.
This was a very, very powerful force, one that, if exposed, would be enough to shock the entire Soul Society and conquer all of Hueco Mundo.
And in the original story, they did just that. As soon as Yhwach appeared, the Soul Society suffered heavy losses, and even Head Captain Yamamoto was killed.
When they went to Hueco Mundo, they directly occupied it, captured the temporary leader of Hueco Mundo, Tier Harribel, and turned Hueco Mundo into a colony of the Wandenreich.
This undoubtedly proved the strength of the Sternritter. Even Yhwach's evaluation of the Sternritter was, "Their weakness is that they are too overconfident."
After entering the base, Jugram directly found one of the Sternritter members and said to him, "You need to go to a city in the human world called Karakura Town, find a human named Mochizuki Hui, and learn about his abilities. Remember, this human is very strong; you are not his opponent. He can even kill you instantly. So, you need to use your abilities to carefully investigate. Do you understand, Lille Barro?"
After Jugram finished speaking, he looked at the Sternritter member in front of him, Lille Barro.
Lille Barro was a black man with short white hair.
A black crosshair mark covered his closed left eye, and he wore a pair of white gloves with X-shaped embroidery.
He wore a sleeveless shirt with fur shoulder armor on the right side.
He wore a green fur bicorn hat with a small Wandenreich insignia on each side.
After hearing Jugram's words, he was a little unhappy with the commanding tone. After all, in his own opinion, he was Yhwach's greatest masterpiece and the man closest to God.
However, he also knew that Jugram had Yhwach's deep trust, and that Jugram was also the captain of the Sternritter. Lille Barro still had to obey Jugram's orders.
"Understood."
Lille Barro replied, then left on his own.
