"Then there is the King of the Quincy, Yhwach. Let me tell you about his ability. His ability is called Omniscience and Omnipotence. Of course, it's not the traditional sense of knowing everything and being able to do everything. His ability is to foresee the future and simultaneously change the future. The world has countless future timelines, and each person's different choices will lead to a different future world. And Yhwach can choose the future timeline most beneficial to him. And he can launch attacks from the future, leaving us no way to parry." Yamabuki's voice was very heavy.
The Captains of the Gotei 13 all showed shock after hearing about this ability. How could such an absurd ability exist in the world?
Attacking from the future?
Changing the future?
To some extent, this was no different from "Omniscience and Omnipotence."
Even being called a god would not be an exaggeration.
Yamabuki also thought of many ways to counter Omniscience and Omnipotence, but besides his Scarlet Angel, no Zanpakuto could counter the ability to change the future.
Hachiuma Chiyo's Kirihagakure could indeed briefly affect vision, but Kirihagakure's true ability was to use mist to create illusions, while Sky Stealing Across the Sea was to forcibly swap the concepts of two objects.
These two abilities, if played well, were indeed very strong, but if the opponent was Yhwach, there was no chance.
In addition, Aizen's Kyōka Suigetsu could affect Omniscience and Omnipotence because Aizen's spiritual pressure at that time was not much different from the Soul King's, at least on the same level.
And Hachiuma Chiyo's spiritual pressure was at most Vice Captain-level, and Yhwach's strength was conservatively estimated to be stronger than his.
A Vice Captain trying to affect him with Shikai…
Are you kidding me?
At the same time, Yhwach also has four of the most difficult subordinates to deal with, known as the Sternritter. I only know the ability of one of them; her name is Alice, and her Holy Text ability is The Book of Creation.
She can establish a barrier and then freely control the rules within that barrier, making her very difficult to deal with.
When I fought her before, she wrote the rule 'No use of force' in her barrier, and it took me a great deal of effort to barely defeat her, but she still managed to escape."
Hearing Yamabuki speak, everyone's expressions grew even uglier.
How can these Quincy's abilities be more disgusting than the last?
Can't they just have a straightforward fight?
"There are three more people with such disgusting abilities, and conservatively estimated, it will be difficult for a Captain to defeat them in a one-on-one situation.
Coupled with the other dozen Sternritter members, this war is quite tricky," Yamabuki said.
Captain-Commander Yamamoto said nothing; since Yamabuki had already brought this matter up, it meant he already had a solution.
"Has everyone heard the story of Tian Ji's Horse Race?" Yamabuki suddenly asked.
The Captains, of course, were unfamiliar with this story that happened in ancient Huaxia over a thousand years ago.
Yamabuki smiled and said, "In ancient times, two nobles raced horses: the best horse against the best horse, the medium horse against the medium horse, and the worst horse against the worst horse.
As a result, the first noble's horses were all slightly slower than the second noble's, and he lost all three races.
Then a strategist named Sun Bin came along, and he told his lord, 'As long as the order of the three horses is slightly rearranged, the main attack can achieve a great victory.
Use the worst horse against the enemy's best horse, the best horse against the enemy's medium horse, and the medium horse against the enemy's worst horse…'"
Hearing Yamabuki say this, all the Captains showed surprise; they could play it like that?
Yamabuki slammed the table.
The strength of the Gotei 13 Captains is categorized: Captain-Commander Yamamoto, Yamabuki, and Unohana can be roughly grouped into one level, the remaining Captains into another level, and then the two regular Vice Captains into a third level.
"When Yhwach attacks, we only need to send a sacrificial team member to stall him.
While he is being stalled, I, the Captain Commander, and Unohana, the three of us will be responsible for clearing out the Sternritter members.
The remaining Captains will be responsible for dealing with the other Sternritter members."
"I have had multiple encounters with the Sternritter members; their strength is indeed very strong, and some of their abilities are very strange.
However, on average, it takes two Sternritter members to contend with one of our Captains, so overall, we still have the advantage."
"Once I and the Captain Commander have dealt with all the Sternritter members, and all of you have dealt with all the Sternritter members, we will directly go and encircle Yhwach.
My Zanpakuto ability can slightly control time; I dare not say it restrains Omniscience and Omnipotence, but it can at least have a little balancing effect.
The final success or failure will depend on whether we can successfully kill Yhwach."
"I have a question.
Who should we send to block Yhwach?
Currently, we only have one Vice Captain, and that is Chōjirō Sasakibe, but his strength compared to Yhwach is like heaven and earth; he can't possibly have a blocking effect," Yamamoto said solemnly.
"Relying on Chōjirō Sasakibe is impossible, but don't forget, we also have a Vice Captain from the Kidō Corps, Hachiuma Chiyo.
She has learned Bankai, and not long ago, I suffered a loss because of her.
If her ability can be properly utilized… she might be able to stall Yhwach for a little while," Yamabuki said solemnly.
Using a girl who is only a dozen years old to block the strongest enemy sounds very insidious, but the Captain Commander did not object.
As long as victory can be achieved, what are such methods?
"Then will she agree?" the Captain Commander asked.
"She will agree," Yamabuki said solemnly.
"This is a military order, and military orders are like mountains.
From the moment she joined the Gotei 13, her fate was no longer her own to control."
Yamabuki's voice became very cold.
It sent shivers down one's spine.
The Captains did not object either, tacitly approving Yamabuki's approach.
As the saying goes, when the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact.
If the Gotei 13 loses, what awaits them is the end of the world with the collapse of the Three Realms; no one can survive.
Everyone has no retreat, Yamabuki included, and Hachiuma Chiyo included.
"Alright then, the plan ends here.
Does anyone have any other questions? Please tell me now," Yamabuki said.
No one spoke, which meant everyone had no objections.
"Meeting adjourned," Yamabuki said, and everyone returned to their posts.
Yamabuki went to the Kidō Corps and directly found Hachiuma Chiyo.
As soon as he saw Hachiuma Chiyo, Yamabuki directly said, "I've arranged a very good job for you.
The outcome of this upcoming great war rests entirely on your shoulders."
PS: Yhwach opened his eyes and killed the Monk in three seconds.
I really can't figure out how Yhwach lost to the Captain Commander a thousand years ago, so I can only play it safe.
PS: Yhwach had Omniscience and Omnipotence a thousand years ago, according to Baidu Baike.
