This crt will be to specify a singular aspect of the Bleach series. Originally i was going to wait till volume 3 of cfyow released on april 6th, but it has been delayed. I currently have the raw for the single page needed for this crt, and have had it checked by a site translator.
This thread will mention a feat performed by Yhwach, but any arguments for that translating to attack potency or range will be saved for a separate crt.
Currently it is believed the soul king established the current cosmology in bleach via the ability called the almighty, via a fan translation of volume 3.

For comparison, here is the raw:
Looking at the raws it says that with Reio’s 全能の力 (omnipotent/almighty power) the universe was created. The kanji used for “almighty” to describe Reio’s power is 全能, the kanji used for the schrift “The Almighty” is 全知全能 (the furigana in that scan is “ji oorumaiti” aka The Almighty). They are not the same.
here is the raw for the almighty name:
I had a request in for the site translator to confirm if this was accurate:
後に霊王と呼ばれる男。
その全能の力を『楔』として、五人は新たな世界の基盤を創り上げた。
尸魂界 (ソウル・ソサエテイ)、現世、虚圏 (ウエコムンド)。
魂に生と死の区切りをつけ、その循環をもってして世界を新たな段階に引き上げたのだ。
いつしか、世界を管理する者達はこう呼ばれるようになった。
即ち―『死神』と。
The man who would later be called the Spirit King.
Using his almighty power as a "lynchpin", the five of them created the foundation of a new world.
The Dead Spirit World (Soul Society), this world, and the Hollow Sphere (Hueco Mundo).
They separated life and death in the soul, and with this cycle, they raised the world to a new stage.
Somewhere along the line, there came to known of people in charge of the world...
That is, the "Shinigami".
From this we can see it wasnt the hax ability the Almighty, but rather just power.
For consistency, another translation (From Arc7)
“With that almighty power as the wedge, the five created the foundations of the new world. Soul Society, Living World, Hueco Mundo.” or more nicely and filling in the context “With Reio’s almighty power, they created Soul Society, World of the Living, and Hueco Mundo.”
quoting arc here:
In CFYOW III it is stated, その全能の力を「楔」として、五人は新たな世界の基盤を創り上げた。尸魂界、現世、虚圏。
Further Evidence:
The almighty itself is the ability to jump to different futures, which allows Yhwach to intervene with them. It gives a precognition alongside fate manipulation. It does not however, give the ability to create or destroy the boundary of the worlds which divides life and death.
This illustrated in a few way ways, the first being that when attempting the creation his ideal realm, Yhwach is shown explicitly using a torrent of energy to perform his attempt to change the cosmology.

This is consistent with the novels as well:

However, he had heard Yhwach’s goal was not to rule over the three worlds but to remove the boundary itself between the worlds and return everything to primordial soup.

If he had not defeated Yhwach, then the boundaries of the three worlds would've vanished, and we would've gone back to a world without the cycle of souls.
What is the boundary?
The boundary is basically the Garganta, which the soul king made with his power:

“The world did not always have its current form. Without a boundary separating life and death, within this chaotic world.."
This is what the Garganta is:

A Kyogoku. If the world of the living and the Soul Society could be likened to planets and the pipeline that connected them were Dangai, the void of space that surrounded those was called Garganta.
Garganta is the construct that acts as the boundary. A dimension of Reishi that houses all the dimensions in Bleach. It is the space between all dimensions and exists around them all. The real universe lies inside of it alongside all the other dimensions.
Conclusion on Evidence
So from this, we can take that Yhwach's realm merge involved destroying the garganta, and we know from chapter 684 that he was physically going to cause the merge via his torrent of energy before he was interrupted by the silver arrow. This was all after he absorbed Gerard, and a massive portion of Ichigo's own power.
If Yhwach's Almighty was responsible for the realm merge, he could have conducted it from the moment he regained it, which he obviously didn't. Likewise regarding arguing he could do so from the Soul king's absorbed power being interrupted as "absorbing reio's almighty". He could have initiated the realm as soon as he finished absorbing him, which again did not happen. It required him to be at max power, absorbing a bunch more energy.
To conclude, both the raws for the third novel, alongside the manga demonstrate the cosmology restructure was done via raw energy for Prime Reio, and not via the Almighty ability.

- その means that, 全能 means almighty or omnipotent (I chose to use almighty as it is clearly a play on The Almighty), and の connects the kanji 力 which means power to almighty/omnipotent. “That almighty/omnipotent power” and it’s important to keep in mind that they aren’t directly referring to The Almighty as when they do it is normally accompanied by the kanji for all-knowing. In this case they are merely calling Reio’s power vastly immense while using wordplay to reference The Almighty.
- を is a verb particle, 楔 is the kanji for wedge/link/lynchpin/bond, として is used to indicate the roll of something. In this case Reio’s almighty power is serving the roll as the wedge or tool that is able to perform said creation, “as the wedge”. It’s like they’re drawing a comparison between how Reio’s power makes jobs easier like modern tools do today (i.e. lever and pulley systems).
- 五人 means 5 people, は is a topic marker particle, 新たな is the adjective for new, 世界 is the noun for world/universe (for reasons stated in depth above it is in clear indication of the entire Bleach universe). の is a connecting particle for possession, and 基盤 is the kanji for foundation. Put together it is “the Five [insert verb here] the new world’s/universe’s foundation”, it should also be abundantly clear that when it says the Five did this it is more so saying the Nobles helped outline the project while Reio actually did the project. After all it was all possible thanks to Reio’s omnipotent power.
- を is a verb particle 創り上げた is the past tense of the verb to construct/to create/to build/etc, “created”.
- 尸魂界 is Soul Society, 現世 is Living World, 虚圏 is Hueco Mundo. These are the so called “foundation of the new world”. As we know Hueco Mundo is a “paradise” for Hollows, and SS and WotL serve to split life and death and form the locations for the cycle of rebirth (the Soul Cycle) to occur, splitting life and death.
