Chapter 875 - The Past

"It seems you already guest, our enemy this time is not a Hollow but a remnant of the past." Captain Yamamoto said.

"The Quincy, living beings that have the ability to detect the existence of Hollows and other Souls. Most of the Quincy were exterminated by us over 200 years ago in order to prevent the collapse of the worlds due to the Quincy over-hunting and destroying all Hollows they encountered."

"In the past, Quincy was scattered all over the world at one time. They were a clan dedicated to fighting Hollows."

"Just like us, they fight Hollow and exterminate anthem as if they are working with us, but it's different."

"They exterminate Hollow at a fast pace that almost destroys the balance of the world, and that is the thing we need to protect."

"Shinigami govern the souls between the Human World and Soul Society, which maintains a balance that if not kept would result in the mutual destruction of both worlds."

"All souls, including Hollows, are subject to the Shinigami governance of maintaining the balance. Quincy completely extinguishes Hollows, thus the souls that come to the Human World do not return to Soul Society and therefore the souls would increase only on the side of the Human World."

"As a result, the Human World becomes heavy in souls, causing Soul Society to spill over into it, mixing life and death together"

"However, according to the leader of them, the worlds are meant to be one life and death are meant to be one."

"When the worlds combine, the result would actually be a world free from the "fear of death". Such a world is the ultimate goal of them."

"The Leader and Quincy cannot tolerate the Soul King, the linchpin that keeps the world stable and separate."

"Captain Commander, how Quincy was born?" One of them asked.

"It is unknown when Quincy first came into being. However, according to the urban lore,, there was Quincy before the current Quincy that we exterminate in the past"

"Since the origin of the Quincy, many years passed within Soul Society trying to appeal to Quincy that the handling of Hollows should be left to the Shinigami."

"But Quincy refused to accept the situation. As time went on, the number of Quincy increased and the cycle of souls became more unstable, forcing the Shinigami to reluctantly wipe out the Quincy in order to maintain the balance of the world."

"The Quincy line was closely monitored over the decades, as their numbers continued to dwindle."

"Later the Quincy advanced the idea that since they were already among the living and still more numerous at the time, they could act as "first responders" to Hollow attacks"

"At the same time protecting Humans until the less-numerous Shinigami could send a representative to finish the Hollow off. "

"Embittered by the recent war, the Shinigami refused to participate, opting instead to allocate their limited resources to reacting to the most dangerous Hollows and current Hollow attacks. This caused great enmity towards Shinigami."

"While they are trained to confront Hollows in order to defeat them just as Shinigami do, the biggest difference between Quincy and Shinigami, since ancient times, is whether or not to kill Hollows. The Shinigami purify Hollows with their Zanpakutō and send them to Soul Society, while Quincy kills the Hollows."

"Let's talk about their Leader," Mayuri said.

Looking at Mayuri's face, it seems that he knows the leader is, and there seems to be a hidden story about all these things.

"Yhwach as "Your Majesty" by his underlings, is the Father of the Quincy and the emperor of the Wandenreich, with the designation "A" - "The Almighty"."

"Yhwach is a self-proclaimed lover of peace, hating conflict and believing painful battles should be ended as quickly as possible."

"He holds the first generation of the Gotei 13 in great respect, for they were Shinigami who could strike fear into his heart. He especially admired Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, whom he called a demon for treating his subordinates as expendable ashes." Mayuri said.

Captain Yamamoto looks at them and helplessly sighs, he knows that the new generation of SHinigami this day is the weakest in history.

And of course, all of the current Captain and Vice-Captain know the past of the Captain Commander and how he builds the current Gotei 13.

"About 1,000 years ago, Yhwach engaged in battle with the Shinigami during which he fought Captain Yamamoto, with neither leader succeeding in killing the other. Sometime around or during the course of this event, Yhwach witnessed the capabilities of Yamamoto's Bankai, Zanka no Tachi. After his battle with Yamamoto, Yhwach suddenly lost his powers. Quincy the folklore spoke of him suddenly appear "The Sealed King":"

"After 900 years of being sealed, he would regain his pulse; after another 90, he would regain his intellect; and after 9 more years, he would absorb the power of every "impure" Quincy to make their abilities his own."

"And based on the time left, it seems the time is right for him to wake up and gather all the power that he distributes all those years."

"As all of you heard, I fought him in the past, he's strong….. Stronger than you all expected." Captain Yamamoto said.

"And based on the report, 7 of the enemy that want to enter is a Captain Level in power, and the unique ability of them makes the upcoming fight even harder."

"I will be direct this time, I don't know if we can win against them with the current strength of the Gotei 13."

"This generation of Shinigami is to weak and that is the sad truth about it,"

"Hey~ Oldman, are calling me weak? Why not go out and try if I'm weak as you said?" Kenpachi taunting said.

"Pardon me, Captain Commander, I think we are not that weak, maybe some are weak but not all," Byakuya said.

Yamamoto look at them and point to some of them sitting inside of the room."

"Rukia Kuchiki, Rangiku Matsumoto, Yoruichi Shihōin, Momo Hinamori, Xin Fei, and the 5 kids in the human world and the wife of Captain Byakuya can classify as strong, but the rest of you? Well …" Yamamoto shook his head helplessly.

All of them silently looked at the pope who was mentioned, they did not look at Xin because they know how strong and abnormal this is, and only Kenpachi is looking at him as if he is asking for a fight.

"What are you looking at? Want to fight?" Yoruichi teasing said.

"Fight!" Soi Fon nodded.
