How Far Into the Future Can You See Now

Uneasy emotions brewed in the depths of his heart.

Seiya at this moment could only try his best not to think about so many things.

He just silently raised his left hand, making a grasping motion toward Yhwach approaching from afar.

He had to eliminate all the timelines on his body...

But the process wasn't going smoothly.

Because Seiya clearly felt that the timelines he could perceive were rapidly decreasing.

Like a chess game that had originally been in confrontation, a situation that should have been evenly matched fighting, suddenly had an incomprehensible change—Seiya's pieces were rapidly decreasing, and the outlines he could observe began declining at a visibly rapid pace.

"This is also..."

The Soul King's ability?

Seiya's mouth opened slightly. He still wanted to try to adapt to this abrupt feeling, but Yhwach had already violently crashed into Ichigo's Jūjishō.

The energy between both sides began intense collision.

The light bursting forth at this moment could even burn many people's eyes.

"Those below vice-captain level, don't look directly... turn all your gazes away!"

It was hard to imagine the gap between people could be exaggerated to this degree, yet even so, many people still hadn't left at this moment, still remaining at this place.

Witnessing Yhwach's end was many people's wish.

However, the development of events was far from expectations... after brief struggle, Yhwach directly gave up defense.

"What..."

Under Ichigo's shocked gaze.

He allowed the violent power to carve an almost penetrating wound on his chest, while also decisively abandoning his left arm.

Dragging his broken body, Yhwach's face showed no trace of retreat. Instead, his entire body was surrounded by that near-mad posture, and at this moment he let out hearty and satisfying laughter.

"Haha, hahaha! Come on, try to stop me again!"

"Can you still do it now?"

"Seiya!!!"

As his words fell.

The wounds on Yhwach's body began constantly wriggling.

After a moment, like a thin illusion covering reality...

Yhwach's wounds disappeared, and his now-full body showed no trace of blood whatsoever.

Successfully switching timelines, transferring the fact of his injury—after personally experiencing this fact, the smile on Yhwach's face could no longer be suppressed.

He did it.

"I've already broken through your blockade, Seiya!!!"

Faced with this extremely arrogant cry, Seiya's silence was enough to illustrate the severity of the situation.

"..."

Couldn't catch him at all.

The timelines that should have been clear and obvious had not only become muddy at this moment, but Yhwach had also become as slippery as a loach.

From physical sensation, Seiya at this moment had already lost nearly two-thirds of the timelines.

He could no longer keep up with Yhwach's pace...

"Haha! How about it? Nothing to say now?!"

Under the shocked gazes of Ichigo and Uryū, Yhwach broke through the 'encirclement', healing his body in the air and continuing forward completely unharmed...

"Mr. Seiya?!"

"Don't mind that for now... Ichigo! He's getting closer!"

The two almost reflexively continued releasing attacks.

Golden and cyan colors intertwined with each other, like a giant dragon swimming through the air, viciously biting toward the figure in the sky!

Yhwach's figure was almost instantly swallowed.

However, it was only a moment's pause, because in the next instant, the tyrant broke through these layers of defense again, dragging his bloody flesh straight up to the sky.

Fearless of any injuries.

No longer afraid of any meaningful attack methods.

Because everything, everything, couldn't escape Yhwach's 'eyes'.

If he could see it, he could dodge it, he could negate everything about it!

Just after a moment's breathing, the missing, fallen, shattered flesh received corresponding replenishment.

Not a trace of injury remained, even the damage to his clothing was restored.

Able to observe other timelines at all times, switching and adjusting when needed...

The so-called inherent invincible position—this was exactly the terrifying aspect of the Almighty.

In the original work, Yhwach would still exchange several rounds with Ichigo. In essence, this was actually a kind of leisurely feeling similar to a cat playing with a mouse.

He wouldn't fear the other party escaping, and would even be cautious, not accidentally killing this soft and weak thing.

Wanting to grasp that degree that could provoke resistance yet not lead to despair was obviously 'delicate work'.

As for Yhwach at this moment.

He obviously no longer had such thoughts.

He urgently wanted to ascend to the Soul King Palace, to have an audience with the birth father he should respect and thank.

Time waited for no one.

"If you don't have the ability to continue stopping me, then you might as well withdraw now."

After a light laugh, Yhwach crashed straight toward the position where the three stood.

"I won't let you have your way..."

"Stop right there!"

One black and one white figure both let out stern shouts, using everything they had at this moment.

The momentum was great, but making such a reaction under these circumstances was more like a stress response after being threatened.

Without doubt... it was the reaction of the weak.

"Hey, impatient young people."

Unlike the first direct confrontation, Yhwach at this moment strolled leisurely, as if walking in his own divine kingdom as a supreme being, calm and unhurried at this moment.

He dodged...

All attacks at this moment completely missed.

The two similarly aged youths both showed shocked expressions, which seemed to quite please the tyrant.

"No need to be so terrified."

"This is just one way of using power."

"If not for this troublesome and detestable man, you wouldn't have been able to harm me in the slightest from the beginning."

Taking confident and steady steps.

Yhwach walked lightly past the two, his face full of confidence and satisfaction.

Nothing was more exciting than this kind of desperate comeback scene.

Yhwach personally experienced what was called the switch between heaven and hell. He reveled in this contrast, allowing his heart to feel the current wild joy.

"Seiya."

As for that previous 'nemesis'?

At this moment he seemed... no longer so detestable.

He slowly stepped forward until he stood before the other party. Both sides' gazes didn't make contact, but at this moment they had already formed an invisible wrestling ground.

"How far into the future can you see now?"

"..."

Seiya's gravity formed an extremely stark contrast with Yhwach's wantonness.

"Heh, it seems that's all there is to it."

Yhwach chuckled as he raised his right hand, pressing it forward.
