Yhwach right finishing off Yamamoto, he felt something.
"This Spiritual Pressure. It's Kurosaki Ichigo." Yhwach's most trusted aide Jugram stated. "Should we kill him?"
"No. We will be leaving." As Yhwach states all the Sternritters began their leave.
When Yhwach and Jugram were about to leave they felt a sudden change in the atmosphere.
The temperature of the atmosphere was very hot as Yamamoto released his Bankai but it changed into a bone-chilling one.
"Where do you think you are going?" A chilling voice echoed through their brain.
"Who?" Jugram stood in front of Yhwach and demanded.
"You forgot me?" Voice was now behind Yhwach.
Yhwach's eye opened to the fullest as he was surprised.
A sword materialized from the dense spiritual power swung at high speed around Yhwach's throat.
Yhwach used Hirenkyaku to dodge but he still got hurt.
"You are...?" After taking a look at Yhwach yelled.
"Seems like you remember me. Now then shall we deliver your punishment for invading my Las Noches?" Nova stated.
Yhwach didn't say anything back just quickly run away as he knew he doesn't have enough power to deal with Nova at the moment.
Nova appeared next to Yhwach and said "Are you underestimating me?". Nova once again swung Spiritual Sword with intent to kill Yhwach but it was unable to penetrate concentrated Blut Vene.
At this moment Yhwach also realized Nova too had been weakened greatly as if it was Nova he remembers he would have lost his arm.
Suddenly many Quincy soldiers attacked Nova which made time for Yhwach to retreat alongside Jugram.
" I don't have time to meddle with you." Yhwach stated before retreating.
Soon after Ichigo arrived at the battlefield that has mountains of bodies of Quincies.
Ichigo's eyes opened to the fullest after seeing the gruesome scene. "What the...?"
"...run." Ichigo heard a weak voice which woke him from his delusion.
"What?" Ichigo asked.
"I let him run!!!" Nova yelled out of frustration.
As Ichigo stared at the person yelling out of frustration, he was startled by the change of Nova's expression.
Ever easy-going Nova he has ever seen now had a monstrous expression painted on his face.
Nova stopped yelling before inhaling air and exhaling slowly.
***
Few hours passed since the invasion of the Quincy army.
Those who fortunate enough to survive with wounds were being treated while Captains were discussing about a second possible invasion of the Quincy.
While Captains were in a meeting, Ichigo was in a room looking after injured Rukia and Renji.
"Shit." Ichigo punched the ground.
"It is not your fault." Orihime was soothing Ichigo while healing them.
"Give me your Zanpakuto." Nova asked Ichigo.
Ichigo was confused about why would Nove need his Zanpakuto. But he gave him due to seriousness in Nova's eyes.
"It's not in its full power." Nova exclaimed.
"What do you mean?" Ichigo shouted after hearing the statement.
Znkkk.
"What are you doing?" Ichigi shouted after witnessing Nova snap his Zanpakuto in half.
"Go tell Captain-Commander your Zanpakuto has been broken." Nova answered back.
"What?" Ichigo was glaring daggers at Nova.
"They will help you to learn about your full power. Now go." Nova didn't reply to Ichigo's question, he just ordered him.
***
"Your Zanpakuto is broken?!!!" Mayuri the captain of the 12th Division shouted after hearing Ichigo's statement.
"Yeas. Can you repair it?" Ichigo humbly asked while scratching the back of his head.
"I can't." Mayuri answered.
"But why? You repaired your broken Zanpakuto." Ichigo shouted after hearing Mayuri's refusal.
"I didn't repair it. I modified it. Know the difference." Mayuri shouted back.
After hearing the sentence Ichigo stood silent.
"I can't help. But there is someone who can help." Mayuri softened his tone after seeing Ichigo's pitiful state.
"Who?" Ichigo's eyes regained their fire.
"Creator of Zanpakuto." Mayuri sighed after telling the sentence.
"Creator of Zanpakuto?" Ichigo couldn't believe what he heard. He never expects there would be someone who creates Zanpakuto because they seem to magically appear after one becomes Shinigami.

Time passed like an arrow flew by. Already a month passed since the last invasion of the Quincy army.
Every single Shinigami was training their strength nonstop after the invasion hoping to defeat them this time while Intelligence Bureau was working hard to find the location of the Quincies.
Suddenly, a shadow like a thing enveloped the buildings of the Soul Society, confusing every Shinigami that was currently in and out of buildings.
Intelligence Bureau worked hard to know what was happening.
Suddenly they noticed someone other than the members of the Bureau was leaning against the wall while explaining what was happening.
That, someone, was one of the Schutzstaffel, the elite Sternritter, Sternritter D, the Death-Dealing, Askin Nakk Le Vaar.
From what Askin explains one could understand that Quincies were living in the Shadows of the Soul Society ever since battle from 1000 years ago which Shinigamis couldn't comprehend other than Mayuri who came out of an invisible room.
Askin retreated after his small talk with Mayuri.

On the other hand, Nova who joined the Soul Society temporarily, immediately scanned the area to find the Spiritual Pressure of Yhwach which he found not long after.
***
"You came." Yhwach welcomed Nova who hurried to the throne room.
"How can I kill you, if I don't come here?" Nova replied coldly.
Yhwach smiled after hearing the statement before calling out his 3 of 4 strongest underlings.
"Let's not waste time." Yhwach exclaimed before attacking Nova with his full power alongside his 3 aides.
Nova used Sonido to appear right in front of Yhwach and swung his sword vertically from up to down, trying to slash Yhwach which Yhwach was able to block using his Blut Vene.
Suddenly behind Nova, a giant wearing a winged helmet appeared trying to kill Nova with his sword. But he was killed instead as Nova used Cero to melt his brain.
After Nova killed the Sternritter, he felt something dangerous was approaching at a fast speed, dodging with his full speed.
"Didn't expect you to be able to feel it?" A Quincy with a sniper gun-like weapon stated.
"You would use your fallen friend's body just to kill me?" Nova asked.
"Who is fallen?" The giant was alive even though his brain was melted and his heart was destroyed from the sniper's attack which made Nova confused.
"What in the...?" Nova couldn't help exclaim as he saw someone would come back from death.
"Miraculous, isn't it?" The giant stated with a full of smile on his face. "That is my Schrift, Miracle."
Nova didn't waste time staying confused and immediately killed the giant once again by completely destroying his head using Cero Oscurus.
'Wait. Where is Yhwach?' Nova suddenly remembered Yhwach was nowhere to be seen.
"Seems like you noticed. His majesty doesn't have spare time to play with you." Jugram stated.
Nova quickly scanned the area and pinpointed Yhwach's location and was about to use Sonido to catch up but sudden light coming bottom made him halt his advance.
The light grew brighter and brighter and vanished with Nova not long after.
It was the trap Yhwach prepared for Nova when he came to kill him.
Yhwach knew this trap won't be able to trap Nova for long and he hurried to finish his job then kill Nova afterward.

While this was happening Rukia Kuchiki who was running around the Soul Society, no rather the Wandenreich's street finally encountered her nemesis, As Nodt who stole Byakuya's Bankai.
