[His voice flat as he speaks, reciting from memory.]

'The path to a world with no fear. The living world...Hueco Mundo...and Soul Society - they were all meant to become one. Life and death, twisted and fused together - they were destined to be one and the same. But now...that will likely never happen, and you have yourself to thank for it, Ichigo.'

[He looks down, closing his eyes.]

'Sadly, because of all your actions here, life and death will never lose their current forms, and all those who breathe will continue to pass each and every day by, living in fear of death...for all eternity.'

...That was the last thing Yhwach said to me as he was dying from my final attack.
