The Almighty

is an ability used by "true Quincy" that allows one to perceive and potentially alter the future.

Description
When a Quincy such as Yhwach or Jugram Haschwalth activates The Almighty, their irises and pupils split in two. After Yhwach was sealed away, it took 900 years for his heart to begin beating once more, 90 years for him to regain awareness, and 9 years for him to regain his power. If he were to open his eyes before those final 9 years had fully elapsed, he may have been unable to fully control his power and accidentally stolen all of the power from his loyal Sternritter. With this power's activation, Yhwach achieves his full strength. Yhwach gains an additional pupil in each eye after nullifying Ichibē's Futen Taisatsuryō.


 * Omni-Precognition: With The Almighty, Quincy such as Yhwach and Haschwalth can see everything that is to occur from the present moment into the far-flung future. They can "know" everything that lies within that gaze. Rather than seeing a linear future, Yhwach observes all possible futures at once like countless grains of sand in the wind, and can thus act accordingly using the knowledge he has gained to anticipate and counter his opponents.


 * Future Acausality: Yhwach states that the true power of The Almighty is the ability to alter the future into whatever outcome he desires. He utilizes this power by setting up traps where he knows his opponents will be and preemptively attacking them before they realize. He can also outmaneuver any defense and countermeasure they use to protect themselves in order to facilitate his attacks. He can even alter the future if it would end in his death. However, only Yhwach can use this aspect The Almighty, not Haschwalth.

Weaknesses

 * Soul King: The Soul King, as well as his body parts such as Mimihagi, are immune to the precognitive abilities of The Almighty, which keeps them from appearing in any of Yhwach's visions, even when they are in the same room in the future.
 * Kyōka Suigetsu: The illusions generated by a Hōgyoku-empowered Sōsuke Aizen are powerful enough to fool the precognition of The Almighty, even when used by Yhwach.

Known Users

Trivia
