Among forbidden Kido techniques, Spatial Transfer.
It didn't only work on external objects—it had the same effect on the caster himself.
With Shigure's mastery-level Kido proficiency, he could easily pinpoint Yamamoto Genryusai's exact location and transfer himself while simultaneously transferring Nanao and Kenpachi.
As for Haschwalth's side, Shigure naturally had no concerns about Aizen.
Because the shackles of Muken Palace couldn't be completely escaped.
Even under Shigure's power, though he temporarily left Muken Palace's seal.
He still remained within the shackles. Precisely because of this, Shigure agreed to that "cooperation" with him.
At this moment, seeing Yhwach before him, Shigure's gaze flickered slightly.
Though the current war situation had some differences from his memories, now it had reconnected again.
The vision Resonance Eyes provided had already revealed everything to him.
The scene currently before him still fell within Yhwach's plans.
Moreover, it was the plan Shigure knew.
Thinking this, Shigure no longer looked up at Yhwach, but suddenly turned to face Yamamoto Genryusai.
He smiled softly:
"Captain-Commander, though there was a slight situation midway, I still made it in time."
"So then..."
"I wonder if you still remember what I told you before—the Schrift ability you most need to be wary of."
At these words, Yamamoto Genryusai's gaze immediately darkened slightly.
Of course he remembered. Impossible to forget.
The Schrift Shigure mentioned that he most needed to be wary of was "Y"—the Quincy named Royd Lloyd!
His Schrift ability was called... "Yourself."
Meaning he could completely mimic another person's appearance, aura, memories, and even... power!
This allowed him, after using his ability, to directly transform into that person.
When hearing Shigure's explanation then, Yamamoto Genryusai was somewhat puzzled why Shigure repeatedly emphasized this ability.
But now at this moment, Shigure suddenly mentioned it again. Yamamoto Genryusai's heart couldn't help but stir.
He understood Shigure's hint.
The Yhwach he currently faced might very likely... not be the real one.
Extremely likely... a perfect substitute mimicked by that Schrift Quincy!
Thinking this, Yamamoto Genryusai fell silent.
At this moment, seeing Yamamoto Genryusai's expression, Shigure immediately smiled and nodded:
"Captain-Commander, it seems you understand my meaning."
The reason he decided not to entangle with Haschwalth but directly transfer to Yamamoto Genryusai was precisely to remind him of this.
After all, during past times, Yamamoto Genryusai had helped him tremendously.
Whether emotionally or rationally, Shigure didn't want him to die under Yhwach's schemes like this.
So Shigure slowly drew the blade at his waist, chuckling:
"Then now, Captain-Commander, please temporarily leave the situation to me. Let me—"
"Segawa."
Shigure had only spoken halfway when Yamamoto Genryusai suddenly spoke.
After being interrupted, Shigure's gaze immediately moved.
At this moment, Yamamoto Genryusai suddenly lowered his eyes.
Immediately after, he slowly shook his head at Shigure, speaking softly:
"I've already said, Segawa."
"Seireitei's future may need to be entirely entrusted to you. This war... is the same."
"So..."
"Please temporarily conserve your strength."
Speaking, Yamamoto Genryusai suddenly slowly stepped forward.
He held his blade one-handed, steps steady:
"Regardless of whether the person before us is truly Yhwach, at least..."
"I must personally end this here."
"If truly..."
Yamamoto Genryusai walked to Shigure's side. The instant they passed each other, he suddenly stopped.
Then, as if sighing slightly, he spoke softly:
"If the situation truly changes unexpectedly, then I must... trouble you."
"Segawa."
Finishing, he stepped forward again, walking toward Yhwach opposite.
At this moment, he opened his eyes. In those weathered eyes, his gaze was resolute.
Seeing this, Shigure's heart couldn't help but stir.
Gazing at Yamamoto Genryusai's weathered back, after a moment, Shigure gently nodded.
"Understood."
As his word fell, he directly used Shunpo, creating distance from the two, arriving high in the sky.
He understood—this was a battle Yamamoto Genryusai had to fight.
Regardless of the enemy's true identity, he must once again complete... the destiny he couldn't end a thousand years ago.
So Shigure wouldn't continue stopping him.
As he said, if afterward the true Yhwach appeared, Shigure could strike then.
He could still save Yamamoto Genryusai's life.
At this moment, watching Shigure create distance, Yhwach's gaze also moved slightly.
Only then did he look toward Yamamoto Genryusai walking forward with blade drawn. After a moment, he smiled faintly:
"Tsk, Yamamoto Shigekuni, your arrogant temperament truly is—"
"Exactly the same as the past."
Hearing this, Yamamoto Genryusai stopped, slowly raising his blade horizontally.
At this instant, Yhwach's smile suddenly froze. His pupils contracted.
Because the moment he raised his head, the surrounding flames all... vanished!
Without any trace of dispersal—they seemed to directly hide!
The next moment, they all appeared on Yamamoto Genryusai's blade, rapidly disappearing.
At this moment, that blade originally gleaming with cold light had turned scorched black!
Yamamoto Genryusai lightly raised his eyes, watching Yhwach, slowly saying:
"Bankai."
"Zanka no Tachi."
