Hearing Shigure's words,
Haschwalth, who had always been indifferent, showed intense emotional fluctuation on his calm face for the first time.
Because no matter what, he never imagined Shigure would suddenly speak these words.
This... deep secret.
After a moment, his expression slowly recovered, finally returning to iceberg-like coldness.
He slightly lowered his eyes but didn't speak.
At this moment, Shigure spoke again calmly:
"If I'm not mistaken, this attack of yours... should have been a spur-of-the-moment decision."
"You seemed to notice I was using Reiatsu to communicate with other Captains."
"And because you couldn't accurately determine my purpose, you decided to launch a direct attack."
"On one hand, by restricting my actions, you facilitate your invasion of Seireitei."
"On the other hand, you arranged for Askin of The Deathdealing to attempt analyzing and plundering my Bankai."
"However, you didn't expect that so far, not a single Captain in all of Seireitei has used Bankai."
"Moreover, all the Captains have sufficient understanding of your abilities."
"Precisely because of this, those Sternritters' invasion pace has unknowingly been greatly slowed."
"So you couldn't wait to strike at me."
"Because you don't have much time left."
Shigure looked at Haschwalth, speaking without revealing emotion.
Hearing this, Haschwalth's expression remained unchanged as he said calmly:
"Your words are strange."
"I merely... don't wish to make His Majesty wait."
Shigure chuckled softly, shaking his head.
"No need to conceal it."
"Your Majesty... Yhwach's revival hasn't actually finished yet, correct?"
"So once night falls, he must return to the Wandenreich to restore his power through 'slumber.'"
Hearing this, Haschwalth's lowered gaze immediately flashed again, eyes narrowing slightly.
At this point, he couldn't possibly not understand.
Segawa Shigure, from the very beginning... wasn't speculating at all!
These secrets of the Wandenreich and Quincy, even Yhwach's secrets... he knew them all clearly!
And what he'd been discussing with the Gotei Captains using Reiatsu earlier...
Were precisely these secrets!
Because of this, the Shinigami's battles became so strange!
Facing overwhelming power, they actually... not one person used Bankai!
The plan to steal Bankai... completely failed!
And all of this stemmed from this Shinigami before him... highest Special War Power Segawa Shigure!
Thinking this, Haschwalth finally understood.
Why Segawa Shigure, who always preferred using "overwhelming tactics," from just now until now, hadn't attacked him, this Quincy.
Because he knew his Schrift power.
After a moment of silence, Haschwalth raised his eyes again, looking toward Shigure.
His expression was as usual as he said calmly:
"If that's the case, then you should also understand..."
"Night approaches. I won't continue conversing with you."
"Because of your appearance, Soul Society's battle situation has begun tilting toward balance."
"And the mission His Majesty gave me... is precisely to break this balance and make it... tilt toward our Wandenreich."
"So if you still don't plan to use Bankai, I'll directly annihilate you."
"That's all."
As his words fell, Haschwalth instantly raised his sword, slashing through empty air!
SHING!
White sword light flashed, reflecting in both their eyes.
One cold, one calm.
This strange spirit particle slash instantly shot toward Shigure. That materialized sword shadow at this moment directly struck Shigure's left shoulder!
At this moment, Haschwalth's gaze was clear and cold. Without any hesitation or mercy, his Schrift instantly activated!
The Balance!
SHING!
Within the white sword light, invisible power instantly descended, immediately enveloping Shigure!
Simultaneously, Haschwalth instantly closed the distance with Shigure. The spirit particle slash and sword overlapped, directly slashing toward Shigure's chest!
SPLURT!!!
Severed arm fell. Blood splattered!!
Shigure's left shoulder was actually directly severed by this sword without any obstruction...!!
Seeing this scene, Haschwalth's expression remained indifferent.
He stared at Shigure opposite, eyes like ice:
"Since you know our Wandenreich's secrets, then presumably you should already understand my Schrift as well."
"However... this cannot change anything."
"Anything granted 'misfortune' by my sword will become fragile and vulnerable before me."
"Including you... Segawa Shigure."
As his words fell, Haschwalth showed absolutely no hesitation or pause, raising his hand again!
From the start, he never intended to show mercy to any enemy.
Much less... this most dangerous enemy.
But now, the opponent hadn't escaped this misfortune's fate.
Then victory and defeat were already decided.
Haschwalth's eyes flashed lightly, expression as cold as ever.
SHING!
Sword light flashed. He thrust forward.
Violent white spirit particle flow instantly appeared. Immediately after, it directly formed over a hundred spirit particle arrows, instantly piercing through Shigure's entire body!
SPLURT!!!
Blood sprayed, staining the ruined ground red!
Blood rapidly overflowed from the corner of Shigure's mouth. Those black eyes also dimmed accordingly.
That violent Heilig Pfeil had already destroyed all his organs.
The next moment, he slowly closed his eyes, powerlessly falling backward.
At this moment, the surroundings fell into complete silence.
Haschwalth still stood quietly in place.
After a moment of silence, he slowly lowered his eyes, then sheathed his sword.
Looking at the broken corpse on the ground, Haschwalth's expression was calm as he murmured to himself softly:
"If from the beginning you could have abandoned your arrogance, perhaps..."
Saying this, he abruptly stopped, saying no more.
After a moment, he slightly raised his eyes, slowly turning around, preparing to continue toward the First Division's direction.
But the instant he just lifted his foot, a faint chuckle suddenly came from behind.
"Heh, how interesting. You just said... perhaps what?"
"?!!!"
The instant he heard this, Haschwalth's expression immediately froze. He whipped around.
When he saw the figure before him clearly, his pupils suddenly contracted.
"Aizen... Sosuke?!!"
