Chapter 587

In Hueco Mundo, Aizen was fully integrating with the Hogyoku. 

In the World of the Living, Hui was training Ichigo. In Soul Society, the Shinigami were enjoying peaceful days.

Within the Wandenreich, Lille Barro had returned to the Sternritter headquarters and met with Jugram Haschwalth. 

Looking at Lille, whose mental state was drastically different from before his departure, Jugram felt a slight shock. 

The current Lille seemed to have lost his former arrogance; there was even an air of defeat about him.

"It seems you must have had a rather extraordinary experience," Jugram said, a sense of unease welling up within him. 

To think that Lille Barro, who considered himself closest to god, would display such a state, that man's abilities seemed to be even stronger than imagined.

Lille remained silent for a few seconds before slowly speaking, "Yes, it was an unforgettable experience. I almost didn't make it back."

Hearing this, Jugram thought to himself, 'As expected.' He continued to observe Lille, waiting for him to continue.

"That guy named Hui is very powerful. He has many abilities, and he knows a lot," Lille began, recounting his experience investigating Hui. 

He meticulously relayed all the information he had gathered about Hui to Jugram Haschwalth, leaving nothing out.

"If I didn't have the ability to resurrect, I would have been killed by Hui. Although it's embarrassing to admit, the truth is, against that man, I had no power to resist at all," Lille confessed.

Before this, he would never have uttered such words that he considered shameful.

But after this near-death experience, Lille had come to realize that he was not as invincible in this world as he had imagined. 

Besides Yhwach, there were still people who could treat him like an ant, easily crushing him to death. This experience had shattered all of Lille's conceited beliefs.

"I understand. You've worked hard this time," Jugram said, looking at the silent Lille. 

For a moment, he didn't know how to offer comfort, ultimately deciding to let Lille heal his own wounds.

Lille understood Jugram. 

He nodded and left. This experience had indeed had a significant impact on him; he needed peace and quiet to come to terms with the changes in his heart.

After Lille's departure, Jugram's expression turned grave. 

Both Yhwach and Jugram attached great importance to Hui, this mysterious figure who had suddenly appeared. 

Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent Lille Barro, the captain of the Sternritter, to the World of the Living to investigate Hui's information personally. 

Based on the information Lille had gathered, this mysterious Hui, with his numerous abilities and immense power, was indeed worthy of their attention.

"Space, speed, swordsmanship, illusions..." Jugram muttered to himself, mentally simulating the outcome of a battle between himself and Hui. 

He also pondered what strategies their Sternritter should employ against Hui.

"He's truly a troublesome opponent," Jugram said with a slight headache.

Actually, from Jugram's own judgement, Hui's other abilities were manageable, including his spatial manipulation. 

Whether it was swordsmanship, astonishing strength and speed, or the application of spatial abilities, they could contend with them. 

Although it might be difficult to capture Hui due to his spatial abilities, it would also be challenging for Hui to pose a threat to them. 

However, there was the matter of illusions.

Pondering these words, Jugram recalled what Lille had said: he was trapped in an "illusion" without any sensation or warning. 

A sense of unease filled Jugram's heart. The abilities of their entire Sternritter were exceptionally strong; each member possessed power surpassing that of a Shinigami Captain. 

Ordinary illusions were practically ineffective against them.

However, Lille Barro, the captain of the Schutzstaffel and one of the strongest members of the Sternritter, was easily defeated by Hui's illusions. 

This implied that perhaps none of the Sternritter, including himself, the Grandmaster, could withstand Hui's illusions.

He didn't even have absolute certainty himself. 

No matter how powerful one's abilities were, if they couldn't even use them, what good were they? Take Lille for example. If he had remained fully conscious, he could have utilized his "X-Axis" to become immune to all harm. 

Yet, facing Hui's illusions, he didn't even have the chance to use his ability. Or rather, in the face of Hui, Lille was completely incapable of using his abilities.

But this wasn't what troubled Jugram the most. 

His deepest concern was that Hui's illusionary abilities could potentially affect Yhwach's Almighty.

Yhwach was the god of the Quincies, His Majesty of the Wandenreich, and the faith and backbone of all Quincies. 

In the hearts of all Quincies, Yhwach could undoubtedly lead them to victory against any enemy. 

This belief remained unshaken even after Yhwach was sealed by Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni a thousand years ago. 

However, Jugram now discovered that their invincible trump card might have a weakness.

Lost in thought, Jugram headed towards the palace. 

He needed to report this crucial information to Yhwach. 

After all, it wasn't just about Hui's abilities; there was also a lot of mysterious information regarding Hui's origins.

Especially important were two pieces of information. 

First, the man had mentioned Aizen Sōsuke, the ruler of Hueco Mundo. According to Hui, Aizen was merging with something called the "Hogyoku." Once the fusion was complete, Aizen's power would reach or even surpass that of Yhwach.

The second piece of information was also from Hui, regarding "figures who vanished from history" and "that year." 

This information was astonishing. 

Yhwach had existed for a very long time and was practically the most knowledgeable being in the world. 

Yet, according to Hui, there seemed to be even more mysterious existences above this world, hidden and "vanished" from history. 

Would these individuals eventually return from history like Hui? What were their powers? What were their goals? After their return, what impact would they have on the Wandenreich and Yhwach?

These were all questions that Jugram needed to consider. 

Of course, Jugram was unaware that this second piece of information was completely fabricated by Hui and "told" to Lille Barro.
