Chapter 426: Order of the Lady Knights
"So I was wrong? Then what exactly do you want me to help with? Just say it."
Masatsuki Aozaki scratched his head, genuinely confused.
He’d assumed this woman was driven by revenge—or maybe she didn’t fully trust the outcome of the last experiment. Maybe she just wanted to eliminate the source of the problem completely, to put things to rest once and for all.
But judging by the look on her face, that clearly wasn’t it.
Masatsuki didn’t realize just how terrifying his line of thinking would sound to others.
Killing the Soul King’s son? That’s not something any sane person would even consider.
Especially not someone like Candice, who had personally witnessed how terrifying Yhwach’s power as a Quincy truly was.
Sure, she knew Masatsuki was strong—
Strong enough to charge into the Wandenreich without opposition.
Strong enough to treat Silbern—guarded by the entire Sternritter—as his personal playground, coming and going as he pleased.
But even with all that, in her eyes, it still wasn’t enough to kill Yhwach.
Wasn’t the Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13 strong enough?
