"Have you ever heard of the Wandenreich?" Sora asked everyone.
"Wandenreich, what is that!?" Hearing Sora's words, everyone was very puzzled.
They had never heard such a name.
"Sounds like some kind of organization lurking in the shadows!" Hikifune said.
"Yes!" Shutara nodded.
At the same time, Nimaiya was very dismissive: "An organization that doesn't even dare to show its head, do we need to pay special attention to it!!?"
Everyone was very dismissive of the Wandenreich.
However, seeing their current attitude, Sora shook his head.
Then, he looked towards Ichibe'e, who had been deep in thought since hearing the name and had walked aside.
As the Monk Who Calls the True Name, as long as he knew the true name, he could obtain much information.
And the name [Wandenreich] that Sora had directly given had apparently yielded him a great deal.
After a series of strange Reishi Reactions, Ichibe'e made a fist with his left hand and slapped it into his right palm: "So that's it, I see, I understand!"
"What do you understand now?" Hikifune asked helplessly, seeing Ichibe'e's demeanor.
"Yeah, if you understand something, just say it. Don't keep being cryptic every time!" Shutara was equally exasperated.
Seeing this, Nimaiya chimed in: "Cryptic people should get out of Zero Division!"
"..."
Looking at everyone, Ichibe'e was very speechless.
Ichibe'e smiled helplessly: "Alright, alright, I'll tell you, I'll tell you, okay!"
"But this matter, to talk about it..."
Pausing, Ichibe'e looked towards Yamamoto nearby: "Yamamoto, this matter actually concerns you!"
"Concerns me!!?" Hearing Ichibe'e's words, Yamamoto frowned, instinctively beginning to think if there was some noble organization lurking in the Seireitei that he had failed to notice before.
This intense thought caused Yamamoto's Reishi control to become imperfect, releasing waves of pressure.
Seeing this, Ichibe'e understood what was happening.
Ichibe'e was a bit exasperated: "No, really, I'm not, I'm trying to tell you, aren't I? Do you have to figure it out yourself?"
"Really, don't waste my time. Just listen to me properly, Yamamoto!" Ichibe'e complained.
"My apologies!" Yamamoto's face reddened as he quickly apologized. He had forgotten that this wasn't his 1st Division… everyone here was on his level, so naturally, many people could help him think through problems.
"..."
Seeing Yamamoto's situation, Ichibe'e finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Being able to listen to advice was actually a good thing.
So, looking at Yamamoto, Ichibe'e continued: "You remember Yhwach from back then, right?"
"Yhwach!!?" Hearing Ichibe'e's words, Yamamoto's pupils contracted… he clearly had a deep impression of that name.
Then, Yamamoto's expression became serious.
He looked seriously at Ichibe'e: "What about that guy, Yhwach? I remember I should have severed his head!"
"That is correct!" Hearing Yamamoto's words, Ichibe'e nodded.
"However, you may not know this, but the Quincy, or rather the power of the Quincy, was the very force that the Soul King used to lead the Five Great Noble Families here to open the path."
"Therefore, although the power of the Quincy was dispersed, it is also indestructible. You did kill Yhwach back then, but now Yhwach has revived!"
"And, regarding that battle back then, he has been contemplating a counterattack!" Ichibe'e said.
"Oh, a counterattack!!?" Hearing Ichibe'e's words, everyone laughed: "Hahahaha!"
"This is truly the funniest joke I've heard in years!" Nimaiya said, wiping tears from his eyes: "This Three Worlds, though vast, is also small. Where would such a rebel army get the resources to sustain itself?"
"For a real counterattack, it would have to be when the balance of power below is disrupted, but that would be a matter for the nobles, not the Quincy!" Looking at Ichibe'e, Oetsu Nimaiya said nonchalantly: "It's not like they have their own isolated little world like we do."
Then Nimaiya saw the strange smile on Ichibe'e's face.
And how could Nimaiya not understand what Ichibe'e meant?
"You're kidding! They actually do!!?" Nimaiya exclaimed in shock.
"Yes!" Ichibe'e nodded with a serious expression: "And this place is not far from us!"
"How close!!?" Yamamoto interjected.
"How close?" Ichibe'e chuckled: "It's right under our feet, right in front of us, right beside us!"
"Is that close enough?"
"If it weren't this close, how could they be called the Wandenreich (Invisible Empire)?"
