Sit Down and Have a Cup of Tea, Sorry for the Poor Hospitality
There was no soaring Reiatsu; in fact, the golden spiritual energy that had been permeating the sky was rapidly withdrawing back towards Kenpachi Zaraki's body.
A moment later, sharp horns grew from his forehead, two black lines appeared on his face, and his entire skin turned red.
Although not a trace of Reiatsu was leaking out, his mere figure was enough to prove Kenpachi Zaraki's current strength.
"Hey, are you kidding me? Why would the Soul Reaper have the power of Hell?"
Chapter 184 Sit down and have a cup of tea; the hospitality has been inadequate.
The Starrk are very strong, extremely strong.
He had even forgotten how long he had existed.
In my hazy memory, it seems that Hueco Mundo never existed before.
Later, Hueco Mundo appeared, and he came here, where he spent countless lonely years.
During those long years, he wandered around Hueco Mundo, trying to find companions, but later gave up.
However, during this journey, he also witnessed the Gates of Hell opening in Hueco Mundo by chance.
What was the reason for opening it in the first place? Starrk couldn't quite remember.
However, after the gate opened, a blood-red arm grabbed a spear hundreds of meters long, pierced through the chest of a phantom, and then pulled it inside.
At that moment, Starrk also had the thought of going behind the door to see if he might encounter his companions there.
But even as he was still asking himself this question, the door had already vanished.
And now, the feeling he gets from this Soul Reaper is exactly the same as that of the arm that reached out from the Gates of Hell back then.
During his time in Las Noches, he naturally learned a lot of information, whether actively or passively, and only then did he realize that the door he had seen was the Gates of Hell.
He's supposed to be a grim Soul Reaper, yet he possesses the power of Hell.
"This is really troublesome."
"What's wrong, Starrk? Is there something wrong with the power of Hell?" Lilynette asked, her gun trembling.
"Of course there's a problem. Hell, in theory, is a place that takes away so-called deeply sinful souls."
That thing exists outside the Three Worlds, but now there's someone within the Three Worlds possessing its power. It just doesn't make sense, does it?"
Starrk narrowed his eyes. Could it be that Hell has begun its invasion of the Three Worlds?
Just then, a loud bang, like a thunderclap, struck Starrk's ears.
Without even looking up, he pulled the triggers with both hands. This time, he didn't fire one shot at a time; when both guns fired simultaneously, hundreds of Cero shot out at the same time.
The scene was like the rising sun, its radiance instantly enveloping the earth, and the azure Cero in the same way, directly dyeing this large area with its color.
"Hey, hey, hey, you're kidding, right?" Starrk quickly used Sonído to fly into the sky and looked down.
With a casual wave of his hands and weapons, Kenpachi Zaraki in his Bankai state shattered all of Kenpachi's earlier Cero, not even knocking them away.
A few stray attacks struck Kenpachi Zaraki, but they were like grains of sand hitting a boulder, making no sound at all.
"Wow! That guy's physical strength is insane!" Lilynette noticed it too.
Kenpachi Zaraki, whose entire body is red, possesses a terrifyingly strong physique, completely transcending the realm of Soul Reaper (death gods).
His soul density was already higher than that of the two of them.
Starrk's expression turned serious. He raised his gun again, but at that moment, Kenpachi Zaraki, who had been staring intently at him, suddenly disappeared.
The hair on his hands suddenly stood on end, and a chill ran down the back of his neck.
The next moment, he instinctively lowered his head, turned around and kicked upwards with his foot, bang!
Kenpachi Zaraki's blade, which could slice through space, passed over Starrk's head without making a sound.
Starrk turned and kicked Kenpachi Zaraki in the chest, but heard a faint sound of bones breaking—the sound of his own toes cracking.
Before he could even speak, Kenpachi Zaraki's red left hand grabbed Starrk's right foot, and then he raised his right hand, gripping the enormous sword.
"Starrk, think of something quick! If we get hit, we're both done for!" Lilynette shouted anxiously.
Starrk snorted coldly, turned the gun around, aimed it at his own calf, and pulled the trigger.
Hundreds more Cero appeared simultaneously, striking Kenpachi Zaraki head-on in the chest, while also shattering Starrk's own calf and freeing him from the opponent's control.
He quickly retreated, creating distance, and looked down at the severed leg that was still dripping blood.
A moment later, a white substance gushed out from the severed leg, restoring it to its original state.
This is one of the abilities possessed by the Arrancar: High-Speed Regeneration.
Although it seems useful, it consumes a lot of Reiatsu.
If it were any other type of Arrancar, it would probably become exhausted after only a few uses.
But Starrk is different. His soul is too powerful, and the Reiatsu he generates is almost inexhaustible, which is why he can use the infinite Cero, a fighting style that is incomprehensible to others.
"This is troublesome," Starrk sighed.
Wisps of ghostly spirits emerged from his body; these were fragments of his soul.
These fragments of soul transformed into ferocious giant wolves.
In the blink of an eye, a wolf pack of thousands formed around Starrk.
Even Tokoyo Misao would likely sigh upon seeing this:
It's unbelievable that Starrk could be so extravagant as to split his soul into thousands of parts.
Then, he raised the gun again, aimed it at Kenpachi Zaraki, and pulled the trigger.
This time, he not only fired hundreds of Cero at the same time, but he also kept his fingers on the same spot, with the Cero coming one after another, as if he didn't even need to exert any effort.
The continuous Cero, like a radiant sun, formed a stable beam of azure blue light, illuminating Kenpachi Zaraki's chest.
This time, Zaraki didn't try to block the attack head-on, instead displaying incredible speed.
He stomped his feet into the air, without using Shunpo or other techniques; he simply pushed off with his feet and stepped into the air. That was all.
But the speed it displayed was faster than Shunpo, and it arrived above Starrk's head.
At that moment, the giant wolves formed from the fragments of souls opened their mouths, revealing sharp teeth, and pounced on Kenpachi Zaraki, tearing at him.
However, their seemingly incredibly sharp teeth, when biting into Kenpachi Zaraki, were unable to break through his defenses.
The wolves that had successfully approached Kenpachi Zaraki, seeing that their teeth were no match for him, suddenly swelled up, transformed into azure light, and exploded with a loud bang.
Each of these wolves can be seen as a highly condensed Cero, and they also have automatic tracking and enemy locking capabilities.
Kenpachi Zaraki withstood the self-destruction of several wolves, staggering a few steps, but was still unharmed, only pushed back a few steps by the powerful force.
His eyes were now devoid of pupils, filled only with the purest fighting instincts, and he charged at Starrk once more.
With a series of booming sounds, the wolf pack charged forward and self-destructed, while countless Cero simultaneously covered Kenpachi Zaraki.
But in the next instant, a crack suddenly appeared in the center of the wolf pack and in the Cero, as if something had separated them, but it was not visible.
Starrk stared intently, observing carefully, when suddenly a pain shot through his left shoulder. He then realized that his left hand had just been severed by an air blade.
"What a terrifying guy. With just pure power, he can unleash an attack even more powerful than Cero by wielding his weapon."
Starrk then realized what had just happened.
He quickly reached out and grabbed his falling arm, pulling back again.
At the same time, the split-off soul wolf packs were made to self-destruct one after another.
The explosions continued unabated, their power constantly increasing until the last wolf self-destructed, possessing at least a hundred times the power of a normal Cero.
The wind pressure generated by the explosion even cracked open the gates of Las Noches.
"Ken-chan, let's play hide-and-seek!"
"Stop fooling around, we're fighting right now."
"No, Ken-chan, come find me right now!"
Kenpachi Zaraki helplessly searched everywhere for Yachiru.
When the smoke cleared, Starrk looked closely and saw that Kenpachi Zaraki was still standing there unharmed.
Even Lilynette couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Just what kind of monster is that?"
Starrk sighed again, "A demon from Hell."
He once again assumed a fighting stance, preparing to meet Kenpachi Zaraki's attack.
But after a while, the other person remained standing in the same spot without moving.
"Starrk, is that guy dead?" Lilynette asked.
"How could that be? Not even a scratch." Starrk denied it repeatedly.
However, he was also curious as to why the other person was just standing there.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that Kenpachi Zaraki's chest was still rising and falling slightly, proving that he was still breathing.
If that's the case, then he must not be dead.
But what's going on here?
Suddenly a voice rang out. "Because I told Yachiru that when Kenpachi Zaraki reached the limit of using this power, I advised him not to make any more moves."
Of course, this is assuming the enemy is still present.
At least in this state, it would be very difficult for the enemy to kill him.
Tokoyo Misao, along with Orihime Inoue and Ichigo Kurosaki, finally arrived.
He looked at Kenpachi Zaraki motionless.
If this guy delivers the final blow, his own body will not be able to withstand it and will shatter.
At that time, it will also revert from its Bankai state and collapse to the ground in its normal form.
Forget Starrk, any Arrancar could easily kill him.
"I said, why are you here too?" Starrk sighed deeply again.
He recognized the person who came; Aizen, the King of Hueco Mundo, had already mentioned during the Espada meeting that they should be wary of several people from Soul Society.
They are Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai, Kenpachi Zaraki, Kisuke Urahara, Ichigo Kurosaki, Orihime Inoue, and Tokoyo Misao, listed in order of rank.
Even Starrk still remembers Aizen's words. "Leave the Tokoyo Misao to me."
This was incredible for the Espada; almost all of them could feel the fighting spirit emanating from Aizen.
You know, having followed Aizen for so long, and some of them even fought against him, they had never sensed any fighting spirit emanating from Aizen.
It's clear that Aizen is Tokoyo Misao no Morishige as an opponent, while Kenpachi Zaraki, who just used the power of Hell, is not considered one.
Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Starrk carefully examined the person below, his pupils instantly shrinking. "Wait, how come you also have Hell powers?"
"It's one thing to have them, but to bring two more people along is another. How am I supposed to fight?"
Starrk didn't immediately take a closer look at who the two people Tokoyo Misao had brought were.
After observing just now, I'm completely speechless.
This time, it wasn't that he was too lazy to fight; he genuinely didn't know how to fight.
First of all, Tokoyo Misao's red arms look like they come from Hell.
Standing behind them were Orihime Inoue and Ichigo Kurosaki.
In Aizen's words, these two are also beings who surpass Kenpachi Zaraki.
He is indeed quite capable, and ranked first among the Espada, but it's impossible for him to face all four of them at the same time, right?
Thinking this, he immediately tucked his twin pistols back into his belt, raised his head, and said towards the direction of Las Noches, "There's no way to fight here."
"Indeed, even you cannot fight them all at the same time." A gentle voice rang out.
Aizen, along with Kaname Tōsen and the Espada, appeared on the Las Noches.
He smiled and said to Tokoyo Misao, "Welcome to my Hueco Mundo."
"Brother Misao, it's been so long! How about we grab a cup of black tea?"
"Alright, since we're on your turf after all, but just black tea isn't enough, let's get something more substantial." Tokoyo Misao smiled and held up three fingers. "Give me three Arrancar, how about that?"
