Chapter 678 Eternal Prison
"Kurosaki, what are you doing!?"

Ishida saw that Yhwach was about to absorb the Soul King and shouted loudly, while at the same time he shot a series of Quenching Arrows at Yhwach.

But how could his arrows be effective against the King of Quincies? They disappeared into thin air right after hitting Yhwach's back.

Kurosaki Ichigo was still in a daze and hadn't reacted. Seeing this, Ishida could only look at Lu Li anxiously.

But Lu Li clasped his hands together, looking as if he was struggling to maintain the Three Realms, and was unable to stop Yhwach from absorbing the Soul King.

Ishida looked at Aizen again. He remembered Kurosaki said that Captain Aizen was very powerful and might be no less powerful than his master. Then why didn't Captain Aizen take action at this time?
Aizen was seen standing there with one hand on Lu Li's back, as if he was transmitting spiritual pressure to Lu Li to jointly support the three realms. This made Ishida feel unwell.

He is a smart man, so he can see clearly that it is important to support the Three Realms from collapsing, but if Yhwach is not stopped now, the Three Realms will collapse anyway after Yhwach goes on a killing spree.

It would be fine if Kurosaki's master didn't look very smart, but Captain Aizen looked smart. Why didn't he just give it a try and decide the outcome with Yhwach first?
"Yhwach!"

At this time, Ichigo Kurosaki finally came to his senses. Regardless of the guilt in his heart, he gripped his two swords tightly and was ready to go up and fight with Yhwach again.

But Yhwach didn't even look at him. He just absorbed the remains of the Soul King into his body. His spiritual pressure became stronger and stronger, and strange eyes began to appear in the darkness above his head.

Facing Ichigo Kurosaki's attack, Yhwach simply swung the Quincy Cross Sword and knocked Ichigo away. Ichigo directly smashed the buildings and flew out of the Soul King Palace.

Ishida looked at everything that was happening in front of him, and regardless of Lu Li's previous obstruction, he gritted his teeth and prepared to take out the ultimate weapon he had prepared. He felt that if he didn't take action, everything would be over when Yhwach transformed into his complete form.

In Ishida's perception, he had taken out the 'Holy Silver' and 'Holy Blood', attached them to the spirit bow, and aimed at the back of Yhwach.

But in reality, he was just adding energy to an ordinary spirit bow and arrow.

Yhwach didn't care about Ishida's attack. He turned his back to Lu Li and the others, and continued to absorb the power of the Spirit King. "I only learned one thing from the battle with Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni a thousand years ago, and that is to be ruthless. It's a pity that he didn't pass this quality on to you."

His tone was filled with the feeling of great things to come, and his eyes had already seen a bright future. "Lu Li, Aizen Sosuke, you two are indeed strong men rarely seen in a thousand years, but it is a pity that you made the wrong decision in the end. The safety of the Three Realms is in danger. Even if it is saved now, what will happen?"

Yhwach placed his hands on the increasingly smaller remains of the Soul King, and the eyes on his head grew larger and larger. "This entertainment before the birth of the new world will eventually come to an end."

As his words fell, the last trace of the Spirit King was absorbed into his body, and his power reached its peak.

He turned around slowly, as if he had everything under control, with a feeling of loneliness and laziness as if he had reached the top of the mountain.

But at this moment, he saw Lu Li grinning, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. That smile made him frown inexplicably.

There was no other reason, it was just because he had never seen Lu Li's smile in his eyes.

The next moment, Lu Li opened his clasped hands and raised his left hand. The temporary Spirit King made by the monk appeared in front of him and stabilized the shaking Three Realms.

In his right hand, a fairy-level item, Eternal Prison, appeared, and he activated it without hesitation.

In an instant, the pitch-black sky opened up, covering the entire area above the Soul King Palace, leaving Yhwach no time to react.

Outside the Eternal Prison, the Spirit King substitute made by the monk is taken over by Wang Yue of Ermeiwu who is controlled by Lu Li. Wang Yue will be responsible for the subsequent details and place the monk in the Spirit King's original position, allowing the Spirit King's power in his body to extend out and stabilize the Three Realms.

Everything happened so fast, not to mention Yhwach, even Lu Li's "own people", Ichigo and Uryuu, were all confused, not knowing what Lu Li was trying to do.

"you……"

Yhwach finally frowned, he realized that he had been tricked. He should have reacted when he didn't see Lu Li's strange smile just now.

But he was too confident in his own strength and underestimated the scheming of Aizen Sosuke.

“It was a close call.”

Aizen straightened his collar which was messy because of the battle, and looked at Youhabach with a smile, "Youhabach, did you foresee this result?"

"Aizen Sosuke..."

Yhwach's face was gloomy, and he admitted that he was indeed careless and fell into the trap.

All we can say is that Aizen understood human hearts and human nature too well, and chose to take action when he was the most inflated and confident, leaving him almost defenseless.

In his vision of the future just now, he saw that he successfully obtained the power of the Soul King, and after exclaiming a few words to Lu Li and Aizen as a winner, he killed the two of them with his absolute strength.

This future seemed reasonable to him and was what he expected.

People always want to believe in things that are good for them, and are unwilling to believe in a future that is not good for them.

So Aizen didn't show him any messy stuff at all, he just let him see the pictures that conformed to basic logic and matched his expectations for the future.

In addition, in the previous battle, Aizen had already revealed the full power of his Kyoka Suigetsu, and even the corresponding control of his Bankai had not been enhanced, which made him lower his first level of defense.

It's not that Aizen didn't use Kyoka Suigetsu in battle. On the contrary, in addition to Kidō, he also frequently used Kyoka Suigetsu.

But the intention was not to control Youhabach, but to use crude illusions, such as Youhabach being killed and other unfavorable scenes, so that Youhabach could see at a glance that it was a false future, so Youhabach was never fooled.

It is precisely because of all these details that Youhabach gradually got used to the fact that the illusions of flowers in the mirror and water moons had no effect on him, and that he could easily see through the illusions of flowers in the mirror and water moons.

As a result of the accumulation of various factors, at the moment when Yhwach was most confident, he was caught and saw the future that was favorable to him without any doubt.

And now, Lu Li has activated the Eternal Prison, and it is time to put it to an end.

"It's really hard for someone like me who's not good at acting to hold it in..."

Lu Li smiled and said, "Fortunately, Sosuke handled it well, otherwise there might have been a real possibility of a disaster."

"Master... what, what is going on?" Ichigo was completely confused at this moment, because the scope of Lu Li's Eternal Prison was very large. Taking the horizon of the Soul King's bedroom as the benchmark, all the people on it were sucked in, including him.

Yu Long was also a little confused, not knowing what Lu Li and Aizen were up to. "Master Kurosaki, you're not trying to say that all this was part of your plan, are you?"

"That's true."

Lu Li nodded, then walked over and patted Kurosaki Ichigo on the shoulder, "So, Ichigo, don't feel guilty. I put the Soul King there for him to absorb."

"Hahaha……"

At this time, Youhabach laughed and looked at Lu Li. "You said you put the Spirit King there for me to absorb? Don't make me laugh. What good will this do for you?"

He glanced at Lu Li and the others, "I admit that you did deceive me last moment, but I have already obtained the power of the Spirit King. The kingship has changed. What are you going to use to fight me?"

Lu Li turned to look at Yhwach, "What's the benefit? I'm afraid you won't understand if I explain it to you, but just understand that I like to do challenging things. Killing you when you are at your peak will make me feel more accomplished."

Youhabach stared at Lu Li. After a while, a ridiculous expression appeared on his face for the first time. "Are you serious?"

“Kurosaki’s master!? What on earth did you do? Did you allow Yhwach to absorb the Soul King just for this reason?!”

Ishida also shouted in confusion, unable to accept Lu Li's reason, with pessimism and despair in his eyes.

He only knew that after Youhabach opened his eyes, he was already very strong even without absorbing the Soul King. Now that Youhabach has absorbed the Soul King, the spiritual pressure emanating from his body alone is enough to make people tremble.

"Ishida Uryuu, don't lose your composure on the battlefield."

Aizen said from the side, "Didn't Lu Jun say that everything is going according to plan?"

"Master...Is my accidental killing of the Spirit King also part of your plan?"

Ichigo Kurosaki looked at Lu Li with a complicated expression. For a moment, he felt that his master had become a little strange. He didn't understand why his master would let the Three Realms suffer such a great risk.

"Don't be silly, Ichigo. If you don't let Yhwach absorb the Soul King, how can he be completely attacked?"

Lu Li glanced at Ichigo, "There is an old saying in my hometown, if you want to destroy someone, you must first make him crazy."

Ichigo was a little confused, "What do you mean, Master?"

Lu Li did not explain directly to Kurosaki Ichigo, but looked at Youhabach, "Youhabach, is your omniscience and omnipotence still useful now?"

Upon hearing this, Yhwach frowned. He suddenly realized that he could no longer see the future of the multiple and multiple worlds. Even if he tried his best, he could only see a little bit of change in a small range.

"I admit that your omniscience and omnipotence are invincible. It is indeed as you said before, the gap between you and me cannot be made up by a little bit of power."

Lu Li said, "I think even if Sosuke and I fought you with all our strength, we would not be able to defeat you before you absorbed the Spirit King, because your defense was not weak at that time. Even if you were accidentally hit by me, I would have a chance to save you with my omniscience and omnipotence."

He wanted to complete the main mission, but he didn't completely ignore the safety of the three realms and the safety of his friends.

If there is really nothing he can do, he would of course choose to kill Youhabach when he is weaker.

But after the actual battle, he found that Yhwach's omniscience and omnipotence were indeed very cheating. The opponent's mechanisms and values ​​were superior to his, and no matter how powerful his attack was, he had no chance of killing Yhwach.

There is only one way to kill Youhabach, and that is to imprison Youhabach in eternal prison.

And his actions would be seen through by Yhwach, so the other party would be able to detect his use of Eternal Prison against Yhwach.

In order to avoid this situation, they must successfully imprison Youhabach in a situation where Youhabach saw a false future and was unaware that he used the future of Eternal Prison.

But this is a very difficult task. First of all, Yhwach is well aware of Aizen's abilities. He has been confused once or twice in previous battles and has been prepared for it.

Secondly, after Youhabach opened his eyes, he could see multiple futures. Among those multiple futures, there might be multiple situations in which Lu Li took out the Eternal Prison.

In order to avoid being seen by Youhabach, it is necessary that in the multiple futures, all the futures Youhabach sees are false futures.

This would be a real test of Sosuke's skills in illusion. With his ability, he could easily forge one future, but it would be too difficult to come up with multiple logical future scenarios at once.

To put it in an analogy, it's like asking an editor to edit tens of thousands of movies with logically coherent plots and perfect storyboards in one night.

Therefore, after Aizen ascended to the Soul King Palace, he basically just stayed beside Lu Li and watched the show, without even saying a word. He was using his brain and computing power to plan a grand multiple future movie for Yhwach.

In the mirage environment created by Sosuke, Youhabach will see thousands of possible futures, each of which is his victory, and each way of victory is logical and quite reasonable.

Even though Yhwach was a little wary and compared multiple futures, he found that the other futures he saw were all fake futures planned by Sosuke.

In addition, the future is favorable to him, and he has obtained the power of the Spirit King at its most expanded period, so how could he doubt it?
In this situation, it was almost inevitable that he would be infected.

There is only one chance to lock up their friend Habach in the Eternal Prison, so Lu Li and the others cannot gamble halfway, and can only gamble at the final turning point, because at this point, their gamble has the highest success rate.

"I see……"

Yhwach also figured out the key to this, but he did not panic. He looked at Lu Li and Aizen calmly, "So, is this your final resort?"

He admitted that he was indeed careless, or rather, he made a mistake that any intelligent creature would make, which resulted in him being trapped in this special barrier, where his omniscience and omnipotence were restricted.

But he did absorb the Soul King, and his power expanded to a new peak. At this point, he no longer needed to rely on predicting the future to defeat Lu Li and Aizen.

Just use pure strength to crush the bugs in front of you.
