"How could this be!"
The Accusation Shield crumbled, and Haschwalth was hit head-on by the Lightspeed Fist. With an expression of disbelief, he was sent flying backward, severely injured and losing his ability to fight.
His Schrift ability was called "World Harmony," which allowed him to manipulate the World's luck, making himself lucky and his enemies unlucky during battle.
It was precisely because of this ability to manipulate luck that his sword could cut through anything; even an enemy's Zanpakuto would be severed by him due to misfortune.
And his The Accusation Shield could not only transfer all damage directed at him to the shield, forming cracks, but also reflect it back to the enemy themselves.
But today, his ability was clearly ineffective, or rather, it wasn't ineffective, because it did have an effect, but that effect was negligible, almost non-existent, against Adam.
"It seems your luck isn't enough to offset the misfortune of meeting me."
Haschwalth fell to the ground, severely injured. Yhwach immediately took advantage of the time Haschwalth bought him and escaped from Adam's attack range.
Adam didn't pursue immediately; instead, he glanced at the severely injured Haschwalth and shook his head.
Was Haschwalth's Schrift ability strong?
Extremely strong, even monstrous. Even against Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni, if he played his cards right, he could probably put up a fight.
It was just a pity he met Adam; the difference in their strength was simply too great.
The moment Haschwalth decided to help Yhwach block Adam's attack, he had already encountered the greatest misfortune in this World.
Even if he painstakingly gathered all the luck he could and attached it to himself, and all the misfortune to Adam, it was still far from enough to offset this disparity.
So in the end, his The Accusation Shield completely crumbled.
The Accusation Shield endured too much misfortune, exceeding its limit. Even though it did reflect all the damage back to Adam, it had no effect.
Because the amount of damage Adam dealt, even when reflected back to himself, was no more than a tickle.
This was like you crushing an ant on a table with your finger; the ant reflects the force it endured back to you, but for you, the force that can crush an ant is merely a poke with a finger, not even causing pain.
"I didn't expect even Haschwalth's The Accusation Shield to be useless!"
Yhwach saw Haschwalth severely injured and losing his fighting ability while saving him. There was no sadness on his face, only wariness towards Adam.
In his eyes, all his Quincy subordinates were merely his nourishment, and taking them back was only a matter of time.
"Blut Vene Anhaben!"
To defend against Adam's terrifying attack, Yhwach activated Blut Vene Anhaben, extending the Blut Vene, originally used to enhance defensive capabilities within the blood, outside his body, transforming it into a textured, semi-circular barrier.
"Alohomora."
Adam merely smiled at the sight, then pointed at the semi-circular barrier.
The rule-based magic, the Opening Charm, hit Yhwach's defensive barrier. After a moment of trembling, the barrier actually split in half from the middle and opened.
This made Yhwach inside immediately question reality.
Because he had absorbed the magic power from fairy heart and the time rift, his magic strength had greatly increased, and some Harry Potter World magic had become more effective.
The originally simplest Opening Charm could now open energy shields and various seals.
"I need to let you know what despair feels like."
Adam teleported in front of Yhwach, clapped his hands together and then pulled them apart, rapidly converting the spiritual energy within his body into terrifying electricity, then aimed it at Yhwach:
"Shocking Death Ball!"
Powerful electricity and spiritual energy mixed together and erupted from Adam's hands.
Yhwach, hit by the mixture of electricity and spiritual energy, immediately let out a scream and was controlled by Adam's raised hand in mid-air, constantly convulsing.
The Shocking Death Ball is one of Master Roshi's signature techniques, capable of converting spiritual energy into terrifying electricity, which is then used in conjunction with spiritual energy to launch an attack. The power depends on the strength of the user's own spiritual energy.
Adam's current spiritual energy battle power is fifty million. If the converted electricity were unleashed at maximum, it could instantly turn Yhwach to dust.
However, his goal was not to kill Yhwach, but to continuously increase the intensity, bringing Yhwach closer and closer to despair, thereby prompting him to actively activate Auswählen and reclaim all his power.
"Ah!!!"
The continuous terrifying electric shock of the Shocking Death Ball made Yhwach scream incessantly.
And as the intensity of the electric shock continuously increased, he also realized that if he didn't do something soon, he might truly die here in frustration within a few seconds.
"Auswählen!"
Finally, to save his life, Yhwach had no choice but to deviate from his original plan, activate Auswählen prematurely, and begin reclaiming all his power.
He didn't want to use Auswählen so early, partly because he believed his subordinates still had room for improvement, and using Auswählen at the very end would maximize benefits.
And on the other hand, it was also because he valued the abilities of these subordinates.
Every subordinate granted a Schrift possessed different abilities, such as the World Harmony of the recently deceased Haschwalth, and "The Visionary," "The Miracle," these were all very powerful abilities.
With these subordinates possessing different abilities working together, he could better win this war and invade Soul Society and the Spirit King Palace.
But if he used Auswählen so early, reclaiming all the power, his strength would indeed greatly increase, but the various abilities granted by those Schrifts would also disappear immediately afterward.
After that, all matters would have to be resolved by him personally.
Even if he were to re-establish a new Sternritter, it would not be possible to achieve this level of strength in a short time.
And seeing Yhwach activate Auswählen, to prevent accidentally interrupting him, Adam also stopped using the Shocking Death Ball, and stood with his hands behind his back, quietly waiting for Yhwach to absorb all the power.
"My power, how could it...?"
On the other side, the Quincy and Sternritter members who were fighting the Shinigami also found that the power within their bodies was rapidly draining away.
Weaker Quincy died directly from exhaustion due to loss of power, while the stronger ones, though they survived in the end, had very little power left and were easily subdued by the Shinigami they were fighting.
"I will make you pay!"
A moment later, Yhwach, whose strength had been guaranteed by Auswählen, opened his eyes and said fiercely to Adam.
Adam merely crooked his finger at the sight:
"Come, let me see your current strength."
"The Almighty!"
Yhwach floated in mid-air, activating his Almighty eyes.
