After Yhwach had absorbed the Soul King and remodeled the entire Soul King Palace, Uryū was assigned to the Schutzstaffel. However, during the climax of the series of battles, Haschwalth having deduced his true intentions to wipe out Wahrwelt itself, Uryū reveals his reasons to Ichigo and his friends for coming to the Soul Society were because he is a Quincy and that only his spiritual pressure can activate the chips that he extracted from the sanrei glove, which he placed around the altered city. When Ichigo, Orihime and Chad leave, Haschwalth attacks Uryū stating that he knows they will all perish in their upcoming fights. Later in his fight with Haschwalth, Uryū is nearly incapacitated. However, he then manages to rise up and forms a new Heilig Bogen in order to continue his fight with Haschwalth. During the fight, Haschwalth reminds Uryū that although, he assumes that the Almighty can see the future, he states that it possesses a far more terrifying power than he imagined. Uryū demands to know what it is, but Haschwalth promises to tell him after they finish their battle before declaring that it is time for Uryū to place everything upon his broken scales.
