The so-called "Cage of Guiding Spirits" was one of the technological products developed by Mayuri Kurotsuchi to counter Yhwach.
Once successfully activated, it could interfere with the spiritual particle power wandering in the area it covered, hindering the return of the power of these fallen Sternritter members to Yhwach's body.
Yhwach's most important abilities were "Granting" and "Recycling".
He granted the power of the Schrift to the members of the Sternritter, not only needing their combat power, but to a large extent, he also needed to use them to enhance his own power.
When the Quincies of the Wandenreich cultivated with the power bestowed by Yhwach as the seed, they would brew even more powerful power.
Then, when Yhwach needed it, he would not hesitate to take away the cultivation results of these Wandenreich Quincies and receive all the power back into his own body.
For Yhwach, the most convenient thing was actually for these Wandenreich Quincies to die in battle themselves, so that he wouldn't even need to take action himself to recycle their power.
If the subordinate Quincies were lucky enough not to die in battle, Yhwach would eventually launch "Aushwählen" against them to recycle their power.
Quincies who were hit by Aushwählen only had one way to die, but Yhwach could get a power feedback that was several times or even dozens of times more than what he had paid when he granted it!
There were many members in the Sternritter, close to thirty Quincies who had been granted the power of the Schrift.
Although the power of each of them might not be critical to Yhwach, when gathered together, it was a very terrifying number!
Therefore, in order to restrain Yhwach's power, developing the Cage of Guiding Spirits was very crucial, as it could weaken the other party to the greatest extent.
In the process of developing the Cage of Guiding Spirits, it was mainly done through the cooperation of Uryū Ishida and the monitoring data left behind when Yhwach performed Aushwählen on a global scale.
After the efforts of Mayuri Kurotsuchi, Szayelaporro Granz, and all the members of the Las Noches Technology Development Bureau, they finally succeeded in creating a device to activate the Cage of Guiding Spirits.
However, after starting this device, it had to be actively maintained by a powerful Quincy. Although Uryū Ishida's strength was good, it was far from enough, unless he could activate Vollständig, he would barely have the power to support the Cage of Guiding Spirits.
However, the method of using Vollständig mastered by Uryū Ishida was still the ancient method passed down from the Quincy families thousands of years ago. Once used, Uryū Ishida would permanently lose his Quincy power.
Therefore, Yūsuke thought of Bazz-B, who had always wanted to retaliate against Yhwach in the Sternritter, and thought that the other party would be willing to bite his enemy back.
As expected, with Bazz-B's assistance now, the Cage of Guiding Spirits could be maintained for a long time, and the members of Las Noches could also let go and fight.
Even if the Quincies of the Sternritter were killed, the spiritual particles in their bodies would not return to Yhwach, but would be absorbed by the Cage of Guiding Spirits, forming a greater restraining force against Yhwach.
However, Mayuri Kurotsuchi also internally stated that if they had the ability, they should prioritize capturing these Quincies alive.
He needed these Sternritter Quincies as research materials. On the one hand, it could satisfy his own research desires, and on the other hand, it might be possible to find other possibilities to restrain Yhwach's power through the Quincy power in their bodies that originated from Yhwach.
"Tch, so that mohawk bastard just now was Bazz-B! If I had known, I would have gone myself!" Nnoitra muttered to himself.
Just at this time, Mayuri Kurotsuchi's voice rang in the ears of all the Las Noches expeditionary personnel again.
In addition, Nnoitra killed four Sternritter members before the Cage of Guiding Spirits was activated.
His war achievement will be deducted to negative, and he is currently ranked last among all the expeditionary personnel.
And if he can't erase the negative number of war achievement in the subsequent battles, he will have to accept a three-month confinement.
Nnoitra's expression changed drastically when he heard this, and he immediately explained to Mayuri Kurotsuchi through the communication tool.
"Wait, I only killed three! The other one was killed by them!"
However, it was a pity that his defense was of no use at all, and Mayuri Kurotsuchi simply didn't listen to his explanation.
"Damn it!"
Nnoitra's expression, which had recovered a lot from his injuries, became even more ugly, and at the same time, he was planning to find a few more Sternritter members to vent his anger on, and also earn some war achievement.
In the Third Division barracks, Renji Abarai, who had just been promoted to Captain because he had learned Bankai, was already seriously injured.
He barely supported his body and sat in the corner of a broken wall, surrounded by fragments of debris that had fallen from Zabimaru.
In front of him, a girl wearing a white robe and holding a crystal-clear snow-white long sword was blocking his path.
This girl was Rukia, who had come to rescue him, and the opponents she was facing were two Sternritter members.
One of the Quincies was named Äs Nödt, and the Schrift he possessed was "F", which stood for "The Fear", and his ability was to instill fear into his opponents.
The other Quincy was named Quilge Opie, and the Schrift he possessed was "J", which stood for "The Jail", and his ability was to use spiritual particles to create prisons that could restrict enemies or protect himself.
"You don't look like a Shinigami from the Seireitei. However, we haven't really used our full strength in the battle just now. I'll let you see the unbridgeable gap between Shinigami and us Quincies!"
Quilge Opie, who was tall and thin and wearing a pair of round-framed glasses, said to Rukia in an arrogant tone.
They had already had a simple fight just now. Although they had not been able to take down Rukia, they had not only not used "Vollständig", but even the power of "Blut Vene" or "Blut Arterie" had not been used.
It could be said that they were fighting Rukia with a playful attitude, so they did not take Rukia seriously at all.
At this time, Renji also shouted weakly: "Rukia, run away quickly. Although you are very strong now, their power is really too strange!"
However, Rukia seemed not to have heard Quilge and Renji's words at all, and just looked up at the Cage of Guiding Spirits in the sky.
"It seems that this is the Cage of Guiding Spirits that Director Kurotsuchi mentioned just now. It seems that I can finally fight with all my strength now," Rukia muttered to herself.
Although she only mumbled this sentence to herself, her voice was very soft, but everyone present were Quincies and Shinigami with excellent perception, so they naturally could not fail to hear what she said.
Quilge and Äs Nödt sneered when they heard this, and the two simultaneously killed Rukia in front of them, and at the same time activated their Vollständig abilities. Spiritual particle wings of different shapes appeared on their backs, and the spiritual pressure on their bodies also increased significantly.
Looking at the two Quincies approaching her, Rukia just gently raised Sode no Shirayuki in her hand: "Bankai - Hakka no Togame!"
As her voice fell, the white uniform on her body immediately turned into a snow-white palace dress, and a large amount of frost spread out from her body as the center, instantly turning the surrounding area into a world of ice and snow.
And Äs Nödt and Quilge, who had already come to Rukia's side, were frozen in place, with stunned expressions frozen on their faces, and their entire bodies were quickly frozen.
"Damn it, look at my Stern."
Quilge put his hand into his pocket at this time, seeming to want to take something out, but unfortunately, before he could take that item out, his body had completely turned into an ice sculpture.
At this time, Quilge wanted to take out the "Stern", a tool specially developed by the Wandenreich to deal with Shinigami. As long as the power of the Stern could be activated, the Shinigami's Bankai could be taken away.
But unfortunately, Rukia, who was prepared, did not give him this opportunity.
A gust of cold wind blew, and the ice sculptures transformed by Quilge and Äs Nödt actually turned into ice crystals and scattered away.
After the two died, the spiritual particle power in their bodies floated towards the sky, and all of them were absorbed by the Cage of Guiding Spirits, leaving nothing for Yhwach.
Renji looked at Rukia in a white palace dress in disbelief, completely unable to believe that the person in front of him, who was so powerful and had a fairy-like temperament, was the childhood sweetheart he knew.
"Will I be subjected to domestic violence in the future?"
For some reason, such a thought arose in Renji's mind at this time.
