The Visored Exit, the Espada and the Schutzstaffel

As the smoke and dust below dissipated, above the Riden, the Ōetsu Nimaiya, were barely breathing, and could barely lift their Sayafushi.

He murmured to himself, "They're too tightly bound. Should we hand them over?"

"Oh, he's still alive? What a tenacious villain. Well then, I'll unleash another Star Flash." Mask seemed ready to deliver another blow.

At that moment, a group of people suddenly appeared in the sky.

It was Shinji Hirako, the current Fifth Division Captain of the Gotei 13, along with Kensei Muguruma and others.

The Visored has arrived.

Shinji Hirako glanced around the Riden and saw the Sternritter who had already been killed, as well as the heavily injured Ōetsu Nimaiya, and said in disbelief.

"How could Squad Zero possibly lose to someone like this?"

Ōetsu Nimaiya struggled to roll over and lay on the ground, panting heavily, saying, "I can only use 10% of my strength now."

He didn't specify what conditions were required for him to fully utilize his strength.

"One-tenth of their strength?" Shinji Hirako glanced again at the dead Sternritter.

If what he said is true, that he killed so many powerful opponents using only 10% of his strength, then he certainly deserves the title of Royal Guard.

At this moment, Mask, facing the members of the Visored, stood with his hands on his hips, laughing heartily:

"Another bunch of evil villains? No problem, the hero will wipe you all out."

Shinji Hirako grinned and said, "These Quincy are all acting like lunatics."

He placed his right hand in front of his face, and the other members of the Visored beside him did the same.

The next moment, they simultaneously ran their hands across their cheeks, and masks representing the void covered their faces.

Immediately afterwards, spheres of spiritual energy lit up in front of all members of the Visored.

Mask he exclaimed, "How is this possible? You guys are clearly Soul Reapers, how can you use Cero?"

James shouted from below, "Mr. Mask, they're Visored! Go, Mr. Mask, our hero!"

James, who had somehow split into four, was shouting "Mask!" at the same time.

Mask then realized, "So it was you guys. What was the intelligence about again?"

He seemed to be pondering the intelligence gathered by the Sternritter, and after a moment he suddenly realized something and spoke up.

"I remember now, the intelligence report described you as—small fry, haha!"

"Star Flash!"

"Cero!" A seven-colored Cero shot out from the Visored, colliding with the Star Flash that Mask had released again.

When these energy beams collided, they didn't explode; instead, they engaged in a struggle in mid-air.

Shinji Hirako roared, "Continue to increase the output!"

The Visored's Cero overwhelmed Mask's Star Flash and was gradually pushing towards him.

This scene was witnessed by several James below, who anxiously shouted, "Go, hero! Mr. Mask!"

Hearing these voices of support, Mask's muscles bulged again, and he roared, "I am a hero!"

As his emotions reached their peak, the power of the Star Flash also increased to another level, directly deflecting all of the Visored's Cero, and the beam slammed heavily into the Visored.

One by one, figures fell from the sky.

After this wave of attacks, only Shinji Hirako, Kensei Muguruma, and Love Aikawa Visored standing in the sky.

The remaining members plummeted downwards towards the Soul Society below.

Shinji Hirako grinned and said, "What a terrifying fellow; his power is quite strange."

Kensei Muguruma's forehead veins bulged as he saw the other Visored members below, who appeared to have lost consciousness and were falling.

"Bankai, Tekken Tachikaze!" He charged forward and unleashed a barrage of punches on Mask's stomach.

Thump, thump, after hundreds of punches, he withdrew his fists, the sound coming from behind his mask.

"My punches can be stacked, don't worry, you'll die a quick and painless death."

As soon as he finished speaking, the force that had been attacking Mask's belly suddenly erupted, as if countless sticks were constantly stabbing out of Mask's belly.

*Pfft! Mask coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, looking pained.

Then, a smile crept onto his face, and he opened his arms wide, suddenly grabbing Kensei Muguruma, his muscles bulging.

"A hero can never lose!" he roared, increasing his intensity.

Crack! Crack! Kensei Muguruma's bones were broken by him.

"Waaaaah!" he cried out in agony, a truly pitiful sound.

Love Aikawa rushed forward with his spiked club and struck Mask on the head, the blow hitting him squarely and producing a sound like a drumbeat.

But Mask remained motionless, still holding on tightly.

Kensei Muguruma opened his mouth and spat out a lot of fragments of internal organs, while letting out an incredibly deafening scream.

His mouthful of blood sprayed onto Mask's face. The latter paused for a moment, released his right hand, wiped the blood from his face, and then released his left hand as well, muttering, "A hero shouldn't have his face smeared with blood."

Then he clenched his fists, spun around, and punched Love Aikawa. The latter's bones cracked instantly, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He fell towards the Soul Society like a meteor.

At this moment, the eyes of the heavily injured Ōetsu Nimaiya sharpened:

Could it be that after becoming Visored, their strength was actually suppressed because they possessed Hollow powers?

It's somewhat understandable that those vice- Captain-level were defeated by Mask in one blow.

Ōetsu Nimaiya, also knew several of the team leaders.

His eyes darted around, looking at Shinji Hirako, who was currently confronting Mask.

He knew this captain fairly well; he was by no means weak, but it seemed the enemy was stronger now.

Shinji Hirako took a deep breath and said somewhat reluctantly, "I wasn't planning on using this method."

He reversed the Zanpakuto in his hand and said coldly, "Fall down, Sakanade."

His Zanpakuto has changed; the hilt is now enormous with square patterns, and the blade has five small circular holes.

An invisible aura quickly spread from the knife and soon entered Mask's nostrils.

Mask in high spirits at this moment; he had single-handedly defeated so many enemies, making him a true hero.

With his arms crossed over his chest, he roared, "You evil bastard, use whatever skills you have!"

He seemed not to smell the scent entering his nostrils at all.

Shinji Hirako placed his right hand on the mask and removed it.

However, the mask did not disappear; instead, he placed it on the blade of his Zanpakuto.

The mask, which belonged to the void, melted like wax and quickly enveloped the blade of Sakanade.

"You evil bastard, you want to use the power of the void to fight the hero?" Mask realized what was happening.

At this moment, veins were bulging on Shinji Hirako's forehead.

Unexpectedly, the Visored managed to wipe out almost a single member of their Sternritter.

He walked straight over and thrust his weapon directly into Mask's heart.

"How could such a weak attack possibly be effective?" Mask roared, slapping his hands forward.

However, no Shinji Hirako were taken.

At the same time, a white knife tip appeared on his chest.

Shinji Hirako was behind him, and pierced through his heart with the Sakanade wrapped in the power of the void.

The power of the void instantly invaded Mask's body.

"Don't you understand? This is..." Shinji Hirako said, then suddenly scratched his head.

"Boss Misao once said, the ability to explain is a stupid thing."

He gripped the hilt with both hands, twisted it sharply, then pulled out the Sakanade and aimed it at Mask's neck, slashing down with the blade.

Thud! The knife fell with a swift motion.

When Mask died, the plural James cheering below also disappeared.

Shinji Hirako had just breathed a sigh of relief.

The other members of the Sternritter below, who had already been declared dead, simultaneously emitted Reishi light, which shot into the sky to form the Quincy emblem.

"Hey, no way."

Chapter 198 The Visored Exit, the Espada and the Schutzstaffel

"Hey, are you kidding me? Is it possible to be resurrected like this?"

A bead of sweat dripped from Shinji Hirako's forehead.

After the three pillars of light Quincy insignia dissipated, the three men who had been declared dead stood up again.

He took a deep breath, stretched out his right hand again, conjured a Visored, and smeared it onto the blade of Sakanade's sword.

Below, PePe Waccabrada Vacabrada, a bald, white-bearded, and obese old man, noticed Shinji Hirako's actions.

At this moment, a pair of wings sprouted from his back, his clothes were all torn, and he was only wearing tight underwear and a pair of Christmas Eve stockings, with a five-pointed star halo on his head.

He suddenly looked up, winked at Shinji Hirako who was applying the power of emptiness to his sword, opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue, and put his hands together to make a heart shape.

Next, place the heart shape in front of your mouth, gather spiritual energy in your hands, and quickly fill the heart shape between your hands, transforming it into a red peach heart made of spiritual energy.

Then he brought his mouth to it and made a "pop!" sound.

The red heart suddenly burst forth and rushed towards Shinji Hirako in the sky.

"Ugh! What is this thing? It's disgusting! What are you doing, you old geezer? This isn't going to kill me, it's going to make me sick!" Shinji Hirako had to immediately stop smearing the blade.

He'd rather die than be hit by the heart-shaped object that old geezer made.

If he gets hit by this thing, he probably won't be able to find true love and get married for the rest of his life.

Shinji Hirako hurriedly dodged to the side, his eyes fixed on the heart flying into the sky before he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, a gust of wind came from his side.

"Oh no!" he cried out inwardly, too focused on the heart he had just shot out, ignoring the second attack that was about to strike.

Several arrows pierced his arm and abdomen in an instant.

Shinji Hirako rolled his eyes and fell towards the Soul Society.

"No one can refuse my love." Seeing that his attack had succeeded, the bald old man, PePe Waccabrada, stood still and made a heart shape with his hands.

Askin immediately turned his head away, muttering under his breath, "Even I can't be immune to this thing; it's absolutely disgusting."

"What is Askin muttering over there? This is the power of my love! Love is the greatest power of mankind! Only love can save everything!" PePe Waccabrada immediately turned around and roared loudly, but saw that Askin still refused to turn around and look at her.

He pouted, tiptoed, and hopped towards him step by step. "Let me show you what love is!"

"Spare me! Don't come any closer, or I'll kill myself!" Askin quickly waved his hands.

He still refused to look at PePe Waccabrada, and at this point he even kept backing away, standing at the Riden.

Judging from his expression, if PePe Waccabrada got any closer, he would jump down.

"Hahaha, love is nice, but it can't compare to the Miracles. The Miracles are the most beautiful things that mankind can create." Gerard said as he walked toward the fallen Ōetsu Nimaiya.

"We survived, that's the Miracle, and you're going to die here."

"Is that so?" Ōetsu Nimaiya's eyes were calm. "If you're going to make a move, then hurry up."

"Oh? You're not afraid of death? No, are you also pursuing the Miracles?" Gerard spread his arms, first pointing at Senjumaru Shutara's Riden, and said:

"Although the enemy has joined the battle over there, the Sternritter will ultimately prevail." He then pointed to the other side.

"Now you think His Majesty is being suppressed, and victory is in sight? But unfortunately, precisely because of this, His Majesty will unleash the Miracle power and kill the leader of your Squad Zero."

Ōetsu Nimaiya's brow twitched. Because of the Riden, apart from Ichibē, the members of the Squad Zero would have to kill the other three members to use their full power.

It takes the power of four Riden to nourish a single seed in order for them to unleash their full power.

This is also one of the prices of immortality.
