"This feeling is so strange." ×2
The two Candices almost spoke at the same time, lifted their own hands at the same time, and began examining them.
Candice's current feeling was very strange.
Obviously she was still herself, yet now she could control two bodies and share all the senses of both bodies.
But she could also clearly realize that the original one was her true body. The newly born one, although it had stronger spiritual pressure, could only be considered her clone.
"Let your main body leave with us. Just leave that clone here," Rosse said with a smile.
Yhwach's ability was omniscience and omnipotence. He was not about to gamble against such bug-level foresight.
Candice carried a fruit from his world within her. He did not want Yhwach to discover that.
The best method was, of course, to extract the spirit particles in Candice that purely belonged to a Quincy and create a corresponding clone.
This not only gave Candice two lives, but also ensured Yhwach would not notice anything strange.
Of course, this was not something he could accomplish alone. It also relied on the power of his world.
If he could complete the consumption of the Bleach world, it would also bring huge benefits to his own world, a mutual win.
Under such circumstances, as long as the request was not especially excessive, the power of the world would help him.
Creation sounded like an extremely difficult ability, but to the world, it was instinct.
Not to mention two bodies sharing one soul. Even ten bodies sharing one soul could be done easily.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Candice had no concerns left now. Her heart was filled only with excitement.
'Too strong!'
This was not just the strongest combat power. The methods were clearly the strongest as well.
Compared to Rosse, Yhwach was nothing more than a dish.
Even if he really revived, he would probably still be toyed with at will.
"Anything else you want to confirm?"
Rosse turned his head to look at Ishida Ryuken, a slight smile lifting the corner of his mouth.
This trip had originally been to put Ishida Ryuken at ease. At the same time, he also wanted to look at the situation here. He had not expected such an extra gain.
Today could be considered double good news. The Ten Blades were temporarily filled.
Of course, these were only provisional positions for now. There would definitely be changes later.
"No need. I can already be completely sure," Ishida Ryuken shook his head. He had already gathered enough information.
Just now, when the two in front of him were interacting, he was not simply standing there quietly. He had already been controlling his spirit particles to conduct some probing of the surroundings.
With his methods, if he was discreet enough and did not investigate core areas, it would not be easy to be noticed.
He could already be certain that this was the Quincy living area.
Moreover, not long ago, around the time of his wife's death, a similar change should have occurred here as well. Countless impure-blood Quincies died, and among those alive now, fewer than one in ten remained.
As for why the Quincy living area would contain countless impure-blood Quincies, Ishida Ryuken felt this was actually normal.
The source of Quincy power was divided into two types. One was granted by Yhwach, and the other was explored by Quincies themselves.
The latter had long disappeared into the river of history, but back then, quite a few followers of Yhwach had also entered Soul Society and remained here.
As for so-called mixed-blood Quincies, it referred specifically to cases where one of the parents was not a Quincy granted power by Yhwach.
Such existences, after a thousand years of reproduction, were extremely numerous in the Wandenreich. His wife back then had been one of them.
Since these points were now confirmed, there was no need for him to stay any longer.
After confirming the enemy, what remained was to find a way to kill them.
He was not worried about whether Yhwach would be defeated. His reason was similar to Candice's.
Yhwach's defeat was practically inevitable.
Rosse had known long ago that the other would awaken and also possessed unmatched power. If he still lost under those circumstances, then there was nothing more to say.
Since revenge was already confirmed to be possible, what Ishida Ryuken pursued was to take revenge as much as possible with his own strength.
He did not know whether he could succeed, but some things always had to be tried.

A few days after the matter of the Wandenreich ended, the Hueco Mundo expedition force of Soul Society officially set out.
However, the result of this departure shocked the entire Soul Society.
About half a year later, in front of the interworld gate prepared by the Research and Development Institute, Captain-Commander Yamamoto wore a gloomy expression as he looked at the team of fewer than twenty people in front of him, every one of them wounded, and did not quite know what to say.
"Old man, this time we were careless."
Kyoraku Shunsui wore a tattered captain's haori. The outermost pink drape was long gone, and there were small wounds on his face and hands.
"Convene a captain's meeting. Come to the First Division and give a unified report," Captain-Commander Yamamoto took a deep breath, turned around, and left.
The team that had set out with more than four hundred people returned with fewer than twenty.
At least there were no losses among vice-captain and captain-level combat strength. Otherwise, Captain-Commander Yamamoto would have already started cursing.
"Understood. We'll return to our divisions to tidy up our attire, then rush over immediately," Kyoraku Shunsui scratched his head. He himself felt quite uncomfortable.
Taking so many people there, yet only this many came back alive. The key point was that those people had not played any role at all.
Up to now, five captains had clearly been deployed, yet they had not even forced the other side to use their full strength. That was really frustrating.
At the time, he had even wanted to release Bankai.
But after realizing that the opponent was only killing the lower ranks and was not making a move against vice-captains or captains, he did not dare release Bankai.
If he really released Bankai, it would truly become a fight to the death.
At that point, perhaps even he and Captain Unohana would not have been able to come back.

[Tenth Division]
"Hm? A captain's meeting is being convened?"
Lying on Matsumoto Rangiku's thighs, enjoying a spherical facial massage, Rosse raised his brows in apparent surprise.
In reality, as the true controller of Hueco Mundo, he knew very clearly that Kyoraku Shunsui and the others had returned to Soul Society today.
"Eh? Did something happen?", Matsumoto Rangiku asked in confusion as she looked at the Hell Butterfly fluttering in front of her.
The information was transmitted directly to Rosse and did not contact vice-captains like them at all, clearly indicating a meeting only captains could attend.
"The Hueco Mundo expedition force has returned. Fewer than twenty came back. Aside from captains and vice-captains, they were basically all from the Fourth Division in charge of logistics," Rosse said softly.
"You're kidding, right? They sent several hundred people, and only twenty came back. And there were five captains and vice-captains with them. Is Hueco Mundo really that strong?"
Matsumoto Rangiku covered her mouth in shock. Her waves swayed violently, rising and falling lightly against Rosse's face.
After another half year of familiarity, aside from not having been completely devoured yet, everything else that should have been done had already been done.
Even below, once when she was drunk, under her strong insistence, it had even been cleaned once by hand.
So in Matsumoto Rangiku's heart, she already considered herself Rosse's wife. Little movements like these had long become daily life between the two of them.
