Yhwach died.
Dead means dead. He didn't go to some 'Quincy Star'; he simply died in pain, resentment, and unwillingness, just like that.
With his essence drained dry, he dissolved directly into nothingness. The collapse of the Trinity caused the Soul King and Kurosaki Ichigo, whom he had absorbed, to fly out and return to their original places.
As for the condition of the King of Quincies, who was originally still sleeping at this point in time, Suke couldn't be bothered to care. That was a matter for the Soul Reapers.
[Congratulations, Farmer, for unlocking the Hidden Achievement: Witch's Journey (Complete a smooth countryside trip with the "Witches"!)]

"Jackpot!"
Accompanying the renewed flow of time and space in the three worlds of Bleach, Suke looked at the Farm System panel popping up before his eyes, his gaze brightening considerably!
He originally thought Old Ha would only drop a "Body" fragment, but good heavens, he dropped the whole set directly!
Suke was already starting to look forward to the upgrade of the Statue of Yoba, although he realized that using this statue himself was far less convenient than giving it to Tsukishiro Yuki.
After all, in his hands, it was purely a case of "brute forcing a brick to fly."
Especially after that Buddha departed, it had completely lost its functionality.
Since Little Yuki would accompany him wherever he went anyway, he might as well just give it to her.
However, regarding this extra reward...
Looking at the item named "Witch's Scent," Suke could already feel a gravity akin to a black hole without even manifesting it.
If he hadn't confirmed multiple times that only he could see this Farm System panel, he would really suspect whether Tsukishiro Yuki had secretly gone into the backend to tweak the rewards for him.
"Animus, you smell so good~"
"Did you use some perfume recently? Why do I suddenly feel that you..."
Inside the Seireitei of the Soul Society, where the ambitious schemer had fallen and order had crumbled.
The Great Witch, who was sticking closest to Suke, was the first to sense that wondrous change. She twitched her delicate nose, a trace of confusion floating upon her face.
The extra aura on Suke gave Tsukishiro Yuki an inexplicable impulse.
If not for being in public, she probably would have unceremoniously pressed herself against Suke to carefully investigate that scent.
"Please, Little Yuki, help yoursel... oh no, respect yourself."
"The children are watching; don't do anything unsuitable for minors!"
"Mmm~"
Suke pressed down on Tsukishiro Yuki's face, which was only twenty centimeters away from sticking to his, and flicked her forehead, causing the Great Witch to whimper—whether from real pain or feigned, it was hard to tell.
What a fussy old married couple.
Witnessing this scene from the side, Nikaido Hiro couldn't help but feel a wave of goosebumps.
Fortunately, she had no plans to fall in love in the short term, otherwise, it would really be cringe-worthy.
Speaking of which, although she didn't help much on this outing, her strength had undoubtedly increased.
If there were a few more activities like this...
Would she get closer to possessing the power to correct the errors of the entire world?
The Great King Hiro, who always controlled the big head with the rabbit head, admired the Zanpakuto in her hand. It was glowing, seemingly changing its structure toward the form she desired.
During the half-day she held the Zanpakuto, she vaguely felt as if the sword was speaking to her.
She heard a blurred name, and the moment she heard that name, the Zanpakuto in Nikaido Hiro's hand, originally in the form of a standard katana, began to change.
It was a good thing Suke didn't see this scene.
Otherwise, he would definitely send Nikaido Hiro to the Shino Academy on the spot, giving the Soul Reaper world a little shock from the Great King Hiro!
Synchronizing with the Zanpakuto and completing Shikai in just half a day—give it another ten days or so, and wouldn't she achieve Bankai on the spot and mix her way into becoming a Captain of the Gotei 13?
Soul Reaper training isn't like this! You're supposed to carry the Zanpakuto by your side day and night, imprint your own soul into it, then communicate with the sword spirit and build up affection...
How did she just fast-forward directly to the special CG?
"Respected guests, although this old man does not know where you come from or what intentions you harbor."
Inside the reception room of the 1st Division barracks, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, who had retrieved his power after Yhwach's demise, did not act as an enemy to Suke and the others.
Although he didn't witness the scene of Yhwach's demise due to the world being frozen, the divine battle he saw before his consciousness faded was enough for him to sincerely acknowledge the stance of Suke and his group.
And their strength, of course.
"But this old man still expresses his gratitude for your actions in protecting the peace of the Seireitei. If there is a need, this old man will lead the Gotei 13 to do our utmost to repay this favor."
"Even if your strength is already beyond what this old man can comprehend."
The elder who had guarded the Seireitei for thousands of years bowed deeply.
Central 46 and Squad Zero had turned to dust along with Yhwach's [Auswahlen]. Everything in the Seireitei now waited to be rebuilt.
After learning the truth about the impending collision and fusion of worlds from Suke and the others, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni knew that now was the time to abolish the old order.
Although he stuck to conventions, that was based on the premise of peace and stability.
"Actually, I do have something to ask of you, Old Man Yamamoto."
Breaking free from Tsukishiro Yuki's entanglement, Suke took a Zanpakuto and approached Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, rubbing his hands excitedly:
"Old man, do you think I have the aptitude to awaken a Zanpakuto?"
That's right, Suke didn't want to be a salted fish anymore.
In order not to become completely dependent on Old Yuki and the others in the future, he had to be self-reliant!
Otherwise, as the intensity of battles escalated, he would really become a freeloader if this continued.
Of course, part of the reason was also that he thought having a Zanpakuto compatible with himself would be very cool.
"Huh?"
"Your Excellency, you mean... you want to become a Soul Reaper?"
"Exactly!"
"May this old man ask why?"
"Because I want to become stronger, it's that simple!"
Suke said, feeling a bit strange. In his impression, the Captain-Commander wasn't such an indecisive person, was he?
"This..." Hearing Suke's words about "wanting to become stronger," Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was momentarily speechless.
The old man looked at the four young girls (Goddesses) behind Suke, any single one of whom could go fifty-fifty with the enhanced King of Quincies.
He thought for a moment and confirmed that the other party probably wasn't joking.
He then adjusted his mood and spoke seriously:
"To be honest with Your Excellency, actually, since you came before this old man, I have felt something strange."
"Although you are visitors from another world, after staying in this world for a long time, the body will inevitably incorporate some Spirit Particles. For example, the girls who follow Your Excellency."
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni glanced at the Little Witches like Nikaido Hiro, as well as the Witches of Sin like Echidna.
Spirit Particles were everywhere. As long as one was a living being, Spirit Particles would merge into the body after entering this world.
At first, he thought Suke was like the four girls (Goddesses) behind him—too powerful to need such impurities as Spirit Particles, which was why he couldn't sense them.
But now it seemed the facts were somewhat different from his expectations?
Stroking his beard, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni seemed to be weighing his words, thinking about how to phrase it so as not to embarrass Suke:
"Your Excellency..."
"As far as this old man knows, although that traitor named Yhwach deserved to die ten thousand times over, as the King of Quincies, even he had the ability to share his own power with those close to him..."
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni spoke with implied meaning, hinting at Suke both in and out of his words.
Suke: "?"
Old geezer, what do you mean?
"Old Man Yamamoto, you might as well speak plainly."
"What this old man means is... judging by my thousands of years of experience in the way of Spirit Particles, the hope of Your Excellency becoming stronger by awakening a Zanpakuto is not great."
"As Your Excellency can see, this Zanpakuto has no reaction to your soul whatsoever. It has not stored any of your information inside."
"In this old man's humble opinion, with Your Excellency's charisma, you can completely choose a more relaxed path. There is no need to cultivate bitterly for a thousand years like us mediocre people."
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni said with a straight face. Actually, in a sense, he quite admired Suke.
To be able to win the favor of so many gods with his own strength alone was also a skill, wasn't it?
Pfft~
Regardless of whether Suke, who heard Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's words, could hold it in, someone behind him couldn't hold it in first.
"Senpai, it doesn't matter. BB-chan won't despise you, okay?"
"Even if Senpai is a useless little piggy who can't do anything, BB-chan will take care of Senpai until you're white and chubby~"
Wearing a black cape, BB covered her mouth, looking as if she were trying hard not to laugh out loud.
"Your Holiness is already much stronger than before. Tripoka has seen all of Your Holiness's changes."
The Little Death God spoke up. She wasn't wrong; compared to a one-eyed cat that could only hiss, Suke's current physical combat power was definitely much stronger.
"Yes, and even if Big Brother is just an ordinary person, Abi will protect Big Brother properly~"
Abigail, reaching out to hold one of Suke's wrists, added, seemingly comforting him as well.
"Little Yuki."
"I regret it. Can you give the statue back to me?"
"Animus? Mmm, of course, no problem, it's just..."
Tsukishiro Yuki seemed to want to explain something. For instance, she had actually tried to imitate Yhwach's form of distributing Schrifts to disperse power, wanting to share her own power with Suke.
But no matter what form of power it was, when it fell to Suke, it was like a clay ox entering the sea.
Even her essence couldn't cause any influence on Suke!
"Just give it back to me first. Tell me if you need to use it."
Taking back the Statue of Yoba he had just handed out from the hesitant Tsukishiro Yuki.
Suke was wondering if the first season of Ancient Fruit planted in the greenhouse had matured. If it had, he would definitely take it to brew a bottle of wine to drown his sorrows the moment he got back.
But it was fine. Isn't it just being incompatible with a Zanpakuto!
If a Zanpakuto doesn't work, he'll go find a Persona! If a Persona doesn't work, he'll go find a Devil Fruit!
With so many powers in the infinite worlds to strengthen oneself, he didn't believe not a single one would suit hi...
"Live towards death, cycle unending—Manjusaka!"
However, right at this moment, Suke suddenly heard Nikaido Hiro's familiar voice coming from behind him.
The Spirit Particles in the air abruptly gathered toward the young girl, causing everyone present to subconsciously look over.
They saw a Zanpakuto with a blade blooming like a Red Spider Lily, combining the styles of an Eastern katana and a Western rapier, impressively appearing in Nikaido Hiro's hand!
"Shikai?"
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni narrowed his eyes, astonished in his heart!
If he remembered correctly, this little girl hadn't even held a Zanpakuto for half a day yet!
One had to know that even Soul Reapers who graduated from the regular courses of the Shino Academy needed an average of more than 5 years to achieve this!
A genius, an undoubted genius!
"Little girl, this old man sees that you also seem to yearn for justice. Are you interested in coming to the Shino Academy to study?"
Perhaps out of appreciation for talent, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni extended an invitation to Nikaido Hiro.
He didn't expect Nikaido Hiro to serve in the Gotei 13 in the future; he simply saw, through his thousand years of experience in reading people, Nikaido Hiro's nature of pursuing justice and order, just like him.
"Old gentleman, are you speaking to me?"
"Thank you very much for your recognition, old gentleman, but I still have my studies in the outside world..."
The Zanpakuto in Nikaido Hiro's hand, having completed its Shikai, bloomed with brilliance, illuminating the young girl's face filled with determination and resolution.
Suke: "?"
No, she toggled it on?
