Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 789: The Counterfeit and the Real Owner
Facing the Holy Chant and Hymn of the Sanctuary launched by Yhwach, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni remained unmoved. He turned the Zanka-dachi in his hand upside down and stuck its tip into the ground.

"Souls, the ashes of the dead scattered in my flames! With the help of their power, I will temporarily grant you the joy of fighting!"

As the captain's heavy and majestic voice fell, something seemed to be quietly awakening in the air around them.

The ground began to tremble slightly, and streams of strange black air overflowed from the cracks, filling the sky above the battlefield.

Then, the ashes forgotten by time began to slowly condense and take shape under the call of the captain-general Zanka Tachi.

They were all powerful warriors, but died at the hands of the captain for various reasons.

Today, these ashes have regained their life force under the heat of the Zanka sword.

They broke out of the ground and turned into black skeletons, holding various weapons in their hands, with a cold light flashing in their eyes.

The number of these black bones is simply unbelievable.

They were densely distributed on the battlefield, forming solid lines of defense.

Their appearance seemed to inject new life into this dead silent battlefield.

The captain stood quietly behind the endless dry bones, holding a knife in one hand, his eyes sharp as torches.

His aura seemed to merge with these dry bones, forming an irresistible force.

He looked at the arrogant enemy in front of him, Youhabach, with a scornful smile on his face.

"They are all the ashes of the dead souls who died at my hands, aroused by the heat of the Zanka no Tachi. The awakened dead are like my hands and feet. They will kill all the enemies I have judged, and will not rest until they are reduced to ashes!"

Hearing the captain's words, Youhabach couldn't help but sneer.

As the leader of the Quincy, he is known for his ruthlessness.

Naturally, he was disdainful of the army of dry bones made of ashes in front of him.

"You think you can stop me with these dead people?"

Yhwach smiled coldly, then moved his body, used the Flying Lian Kick, and disappeared on the spot.

When he appeared again, he had already arrived in front of the captain.

His speed was so fast that he was like a ghost, making it impossible to catch his trace.

All the skeletons that were unavoidable along the way were crushed by the attacks he launched casually.

Each of his attacks was accompanied by a powerful spiritual pressure, as if it could destroy everything that stood in his way.

Although the army of dry bones was large in number, they seemed so vulnerable in front of him.

"Vulnerable!"

Youhabach spat out these words coldly.

He didn't know what Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was doing. Instead of maintaining the Zanri Prison Robe he had just worn, he summoned these fragile skeletons. Was it because his spiritual pressure was consumed too much?

"Youhabach, after a thousand years, your eyes don't seem to be so sharp anymore!"

The army of dry bones transformed from ashes stood firmly in front of him, and Captain Yamamoto said with a hint of sarcasm and ridicule.

"what?"

Yhwach frowned, looked carefully, and then found that these ghosts surrounding him were all Quincy!

The battle between the Shinigami and the Quincy a thousand years ago, the dead Quincy, are all here now, familiar yet unfamiliar faces appear above these ashes and dry bones, even a ruthless and cold-blooded man like Yhwach can't help but feel confused. Just as Yhwach's mind was lost, the captain's voice sounded again: "Zanka no Tachi·North·Tianchi Ashes!!!"

As the words fell, an extremely brilliant sword light burst out from the captain's hand, instantly covering the sky and the earth.

The blade light rolled like a giant dragon, and everything turned to ashes wherever it passed.

Yhwach was enveloped by the blade light, and he had no time to react. He only felt a huge force coming from his waist, and his body was ruthlessly torn apart, and was directly cut in half.

His eyes were filled with fear and unwillingness, but he was powerless to change the situation.

As Yhwach fell, the army of withered bones also dissipated. The battlefield returned to peace again, with only the captain standing there alone.

He slowly put away the long sword in his hand, a tired but satisfied smile on his face.

"The grudges that have lasted for thousands of years are all over..."

The captain's voice echoed on the battlefield, as if telling an ancient and tragic history.

He turned slowly.

In the sky, the evaporating water vapor condenses into raindrops when it gets cold, and then falls as heavy rain.

However, Yhwach on the ground seemed to still be conscious.

Although his figure was broken, his deep eyes revealed an indescribable firmness. He stretched out his hand, pointed to the boundless sky, and spoke in a low and hoarse voice.

"Sorry……"

These three words pierced through the silence around them like a sharp arrow.

When Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni heard the voice, he turned his head abruptly.

There was a flash of doubt and vigilance in his eyes, because he knew very well that as the ancestor and leader of the Quincies, Yhwach would never apologize easily.

"Wait! You are the founder and leader of the Quincy, who are you saying sorry to?"

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's voice was full of confusion and questioning.

However, as he finished speaking, the scene before him shocked him. The man on the ground that was split in two was not Yhwach, but a completely unfamiliar face.

He was a bald man with round earmuffs on his ears that had slightly damaged outer edges. He had a stern face, deep eyes under a pair of thin eyebrows, and a mark of a third eye on his forehead.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni immediately realized what was wrong and out of place in the battle. This strange man was not the real Yhwach, but an imitator.

His demeanor, tone, behavior, and style are roughly the same as Yhwach's, but upon closer inspection, some subtle differences can still be found.

Although this imitator's imitation is very lifelike, he still retains a trace of humanity compared to the real Youhabach.

He hated Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni for using his Bankai to awaken his dead Quincy colleagues and make them his enemy.

But at that time, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni only felt that Yhwach had changed slightly. After all, he hadn't seen him for a thousand years, so it was normal for him to have changes.

Now it seems that this is the biggest flaw!
However, at this moment he was more concerned about Youhabach's true intentions.

He knew very well that Youhabach would not send such an imitator to fight him for no reason.

Just then, Yhwach himself appeared.
