[Adam C. POV.]

As I sealed my Bankai once more, I couldn't help but feel disappointed... I really wanted to kill Lille without using my Bankai, but alas, it would've been impossible, my abilities in my Shikai state were simply not suited for the task.

I couldn't dwell on my irritation for long, as the sound of clapping caught my attention. 

I turned to see Yhwach approaching with a unsettling smile on his face, he looked just like the old man had described him. Either way, I was happy he had saved me the trouble of looking for him.

Yhwach said, coming to a stop. "I expected nothing else from my brother."

"Thanks for saving me the time of looking for you," I replied, pointing my blade at him.

Yhwach chuckled softly, his voice carrying an eerie calmness as he extended his arms, and I watched in disbelief as he absorbed the essence of the four Quincy I had just killed, Askin, Pernida, Gerard, and Lille. 

"For me to destroy this flawed world," Yhwach declared, his eyes locking onto mine, "I'm afraid I have to destroy you, brother. Because only as one, I'll be able to change it all."

Ok, no time to play... let's go all out, from the very beginning. No conversation, no chat, nothing, just go for the kill, and end this.

"Bankai," I said, my voice barely above a whisper, yet it cut through the thick tension hanging in the air around us. "Muryokusho."

"What a wonderful power," Yhwach complimented, his unsettling smile never waning even as the air around us vibrated with the release of my Bankai. The power of Muryokusho, Abyssal Void, began to erase the space between us, distorting reality itself as it sought to nullify the existence of everything within its domain, specifically, Yhwach. 

Yhwach raised an eyebrow, almost in appreciation, as he observed the destructive forces at play. His form remained unnaturally calm. "A terrifying power, indeed, but ultimately futile against me." With those words, Yhwach's own abilities began to manifest with terrifying potency, as Shadows began to push back at the void. 

Within moments, the balance of power shifted palpably, the air thickening with the aroma of dark energy that seemed to nullify even the void itself.

...

He had stopped... Abyssal Void...

I laughed, excited at the challenge before me. "Is that so?" I mocked, swirling my blade to intensify the pressure of the void. "Then let's test the limits of your power, shall we?" 

Yhwach merely tilted his head, as if intrigued by the prospect. His shadows fluttering in an unfelt breeze. "As you wish."

I had to admit... that while I would've been happy if he had just died to technique just now, I was even more happy that he hadn't... for it meant, I could truly go all out. "Don't disappoint, Yhwach!"

"I say the same, brother," Yhwach replied, taking a step forward.

[Soul King. POV.]

In the vast expanse of time and space, where the threads of fate intertwine, I, alone, have gazed into the abyss of possibilities, into the future. My eyes, ancient and unyielding, have witnessed the unfolding of countless eras, the rise and fall of powers unimaginable. The demise of Yhwach, my child, at the hands of Ichigo, the relentless protector, was a spectacle etched in the annals of time. Yet, this outcome, this fragment of destiny, did not resonate with the harmony I sought.

In my divine providence, I brought forth a new beacon of hope, a child born of the cosmos, destined to disrupt the fabric of the future. A child imbued with the essence of stars and the whispers of eternity. But as the wheel of time turned, the path this child carved through the cosmos revealed a future even more discordant than the last. 

A future where chaos reigned, where the delicate balance I so meticulously crafted teetered on the brink of oblivion.

I, who have seen the birth of galaxies and the whisper of life in the void, find no solace in these visions. The future, once a tapestry of infinite potential, now looms as a harbinger of despair. Each thread, once vibrant and full of promise, now weaves a tale of sorrow and ruin.

In this moment of revelation, where the past, present, and future converge, I am compelled to ponder the unthinkable. Perhaps the cycle of creation and destruction, the endless dance of life and death, is but a futile endeavor. Perhaps the time has come to silence the cosmic threads, to still the hands of fate.

Yes...

It seems the time has come for the final act, my ultimate decree as the Soul King. With a heart heavy with the knowledge of what must be done, I resolve to bring an end to all. This is not a decision born of whimsy or despair, but a necessary conclusion to restore the cosmic balance that has been irrevocably lost.

Thus, let it echo through the realms, from the highest heavens to the deepest abyss: The Soul King has decreed the end of all. The fabric of reality, the very essence of existence, shall be unraveled, undone by my hand. In this act of unparalleled magnitude, I will extinguish the stars, silence the galaxies, and dissolve the bonds that hold the universe together.

This is my final prophecy, my ultimate burden, and the legacy I leave behind. A cosmos once vibrant and teeming with life will return to the void from whence it came. In this act of cosmic annihilation, I seek not destruction for its own sake, but the restoration of a balance that has been forever lost. 

The cycle must end, and from its ashes, perhaps, in another time, another existence, a new order will emerge, something better... something worthy, something meaningful. But for now, all must come to an end.
