A Surprise Attack, Two Kills in One Blow

Ulquiorra has not yet responded.

Suddenly, a light shone from where Gerard been, a pool of flesh and blood. The blood began to gather again, and the flesh solidified.

Not long after, Gerard stood up again, and this time his physique had changed dramatically, reaching the height of Yammy's chest.

"Hahaha, what doesn't kill me only makes me stronger, that's the power of the Miracle!" Gerard roared excitedly.

"Is this the first time I've become this powerful, Zero Espada? Why do you keep seeking the Fourth Espada's advice?"

When he accompanied the fake Yhwach to Hueco Mundo last time, he witnessed Ulquiorra's power and knew that the other party was the Fourth Espada.

But from then until now, Yammy, the Zeroth Espada, has been seeking the other party's opinion.

Yammy's eyes widened as he looked down at Gerard and said, "That's because Ulquiorra is smart, you idiot." He raised his hands, crossed his fists, and slammed them down again.

This time, Gerard's shield and sword both grew larger as his body swelled.

He raised his shield again to block, and a resounding clang echoed through the sky.

Gerard's legs buckled, and he collapsed to his knees.

But this time, he truly withstood the force of the Yammy.

"Haha! Do you see that? That's the power of the Miracle!" Gerard shouted, laughing.

"You damned bug!" White smoke billowed from the Yammy in Yammy's body, even though he hadn't smashed Gerard to pieces in one blow.

He visibly grew furious, raising his fists once more. This time, his fists were imbued with red Reiatsu, somewhat similar to the Bala he had used before.

However, he did not release it, but instead concentrated it in his fist and slammed it down again.

Boom! This attack easily broke through Gerard's shield and smashed him to the ground once again.

However, this time Yammy did not go back to ask Ulquiorra.

Because the flesh and blood began to coalesce in the air again, transforming back into Gerard's appearance.

But this time, the opponent's size was comparable to Yammy's, and the two of them stood like two mountains across the Riden.

After Gerard was resurrected, he looked at his hands, his voice filled with disbelief:

"The Miracle! It truly is the Miracle! I've actually grown to this level, all thanks to you! It's because of your evil power that I've been able to continuously perform the Miracles!"

"You bastard!" This time, Yammy's fists glowed red as he threw another punch.

With a clang, this time the fist was blocked by a proportionally enlarged round shield.

Gerard laughed loudly, "You can't beat me, I've already shown the Miracles." Then he raised his sword and slashed down fiercely.

Swoosh! The arm of Yammy was easily severed.

Yammy's face turned red, white smoke billowed from his body, and his angry aura swept across the entire area.

He suddenly opened his mouth, and an enormous beam of Reishi light condensed in front of it.

"Oh? Ready to use your final technique? That's wonderful! This sword in my hand is called the Sword of Hope." Gerard raised the sword high.

Reiatsu was also gathering at the tip of the sword.

The orange-red light and the fiery red light collided in the sky, creating a dazzling spectacle.

After about a minute of build-up, the two attacked simultaneously.

"Gran Rey Cero!"

"The Flames of The Miracles!"

Gerard grinned and swung the Sword of Hope, a burst of flame erupting from its tip.

His tens of meters tall figure and tens of meters long sword unleashed flames that resembled a massive tornado connecting heaven and earth, colliding with the equally enormous Cero.

Strangely, the two did not explode; instead, they annihilated each other from the moment they came into contact, emitting a hissing sound.

At that moment, Yammy suddenly swung his tail.

The wind stirred up by his enormous tail made the Soul Reaper Captains standing in the sky somewhat unsteady.

The giant tail swept towards Gerard's waist, but he swung his hand and grabbed it.

"That despicable man, trying to launch a sneak attack even during a contest of strength."

Gerard suddenly lowered his body, exerted all his strength, and lifted Yammy up with his backhand, slamming him to the other side with a loud thud.

Then he pulled his left hand back and opened his right palm, pointing it towards Yammy's chest. A huge, Heilig Pfeil appeared in his hand.

"Die before the power of the Miracles!" He released his grip, and the enormous arrow pierced Yammy through the heart.

Gerard turned to Ulquiorra and Soul Reaper and said, "Now it's your turn, isn't it?"

Seeing that no one responded, he spread his arms and laughed loudly, but given his size, the laughter sounded like thunder.

"I understand, I comprehend that you might lose your will to fight in the face of the Miracle, but unfortunately, you are evil beings and must be eliminated."

"Bankai, Senbonzakura Kageyoshi."

"Bankai, Daiguren Hyōrinmaru."

"Bankai, Baboon King Zabimaru."

The Hikotsu Taihō! A cannonball struck Gerard in the face, followed by countless pink blades instantly enveloping him.

Sennen Hyōrō! Powerful ice pillars formed in the air, instantly sealing Gerard inside.

Renji Abarai turned to Ulquiorra and said, "Now it's our turn, isn't it?"

Chapter 200 A Surprise Attack, A Double Kill

"Have you become so weak that you can't even sense whether the enemy is dead or not? Soul Reapers!"

Ulquiorra's voice was flat.

He pulled his right hand out of his pocket and pointed at Gerard, who was frozen in a coffin.

Renji Abarai's pupils widened suddenly, and he turned his head away.

The frozen coffin made a cracking sound, and cracks kept appearing.

With a bang, Gerard reappeared.

The pink blades on his body were still tearing at him, but they couldn't even cut through his skin.

Byakuya Kuchiki made a decisive move, clenching his fists with both hands.

The pink blade fragments instantly scattered, coalescing into long swords that were aimed at Gerard's neck and plunged in.

"Secret Technique: Ikkasenjinka!"

While Senbonzakura Kageyoshi possesses a large number of cherry blossom blades, his attack power is insufficient.

The longswords of today have abandoned the advantage of quantity in favor of increased attack and penetration power.

Each knife pierced Gerard's neck.

At this moment, Gerard's neck looked like a ball of yarn covered in needles.

"Calm down and continue the attack," Tōshirō said softly.

Dark clouds gathered in the sky above the Riden, and snowflakes fell from the sky, landing on Gerard, who was unable to move.

Renji reacted quickly and immediately swung the skull snake head in his hand, wrapping it around Gerard's waist.

The moment the weapon became entangled, Renji realized that he could no longer compress it.

So he immediately lowered his body, gripped the hilt of the knife tightly with both hands, and pulled sharply backward, thus preventing himself from being pulled in the opposite direction by the force that was binding Gerard.

But at that moment, Gerard's eyes suddenly flashed with an orange-yellow light; he was not dead.

"How did this guy get his body? How is he still alive?" Renji was starting to lose his composure.

After all, Gerard had not only fought the Arrancar for a long time, but had also been bombarded by Captain Kuchiki and Captain Hitsugaya. Now his neck was full of swords, but he seemed to be fine.

"Renji, stay calm during the battle," Byakuya Kuchiki instructed.

His brows furrowed deeply; the strength of the enemies that had appeared this time was indeed somewhat excessive.

Gerard's body began to twist, and even the slightest movement almost made Renji lose his grip on the hilt of his sword.

He then stomped his feet hard in the air, trying to stop himself from being pulled over.

Byakuya Kuchiki controlled the sword that was inserted into Gerard's neck, and it suddenly exploded.

With a loud rumble, a cloud of dust completely enveloped Gerard's head.

At this moment, ice flowers bloomed one after another.

"Hyōten Hyakkasō."

Tōshirō exhaled a cold breath and said softly, "This is the strongest move I can use in my current state."

He glanced at the two remaining ice flowers behind him; to use his freezing ability, at least four or five more petals would need to wither.

Moreover, he did not believe that maintaining this frozen state would be enough to deal with these enemies.

Only by waiting for the ice flowers to completely shatter can one have a chance of victory by exerting all one's strength.

"Now we should be able to kill that guy, right?" Renji breathed a sigh of relief as he noticed the dragging force in his hand disappear. He looked at the towering pillar of ice flowers in front of him and said this.

Snap! Bang!

The ice flower pillar suddenly shattered, and the ice crystals transformed into hidden weapons, shooting out in all directions.

Tōshirō immediately raised his hand, and before the ice spikes could even get close, they vanished into dust.

But the immense wind pressure still made him somewhat unsteady.

Renji was blown away, his body struggling in the air as he tried to steady himself, but suddenly a red light filled his vision.

Heilig Pfeil! Am I going to die?

Immediately afterwards, a white figure appeared in front of him, blocking most of the red attacks.

Then he felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen, looked down and saw a large chunk missing from his stomach. Blood gushed from his mouth, and he collapsed weakly toward the Soul Society.

Byakuya Kuchiki, who had shielded him from most of the damage from the Heilig Pfeil, was covered in blood, and his white haori was tattered.

He forced himself to stay upright, determined to return to the battlefield.

But as soon as he took a step, he felt dizzy and the world went dark. His eyes rolled back, and he lost consciousness, falling towards the Soul Society.

"The Soul Reaper's captain is truly pathetic." Gerard, now free, seemed to have grown even taller.

However, his body is now so large that Tōshirō can no longer tell the difference.

"What are you made of anyway?" Tōshirō narrowed his eyes.

No, with our current strength, we are no match for them. We can only stall for time.

Tōshirō made up his mind, and another petal of the ice flower behind him shattered.

"What is it made of? Isn't it simple? Of course, it's made of the Miracles." Gerard casually swung his sword down at Tōshirō, cleaving his body in two with a single strike.

The next moment, Tōshirō's severed body turned into ice and shattered.

His figure appeared in the distant sky, standing beneath the dark clouds.

"You've got quite a few ways to save your life, haven't you?" Gerard looked up and swung his large hand, swatting at Tōshirō in the sky like he was swatting a mosquito.

The latter immediately concentrated all his Reiatsu in his feet, increasing his speed to the maximum, and quickly dodged the attack.

While dodging, Tōshirō swung his Hyōrinmaru, continuously shooting ice spikes at Gerard, but these attacks couldn't even break through his skin.

These ice spikes, each several meters long, were like snowflakes beneath Gerard's current form, utterly ineffective.

"As the captain of the Soul Reaper, is all you can do is run away?" Although Gerard's body had grown larger and his speed was quite fast, he was unable to hit Tōshirō was running away at full speed.

At this moment, Tōshirō also felt a sense of relief.

If it weren't for the fact that Boss Misao had taught him how to use Reiatsu since he was a child, it wouldn't have been easy to dodge Gerard's attacks in this space where Shunpo was sealed.

"This is so annoying! As the captain, don't you have any self-respect? Come down and face me." Gerard's dozens of attacks all missed, and he gradually became irritated.

Tōshirō responded coldly, "Is it really okay for you to focus all your attention on me? There are Espada standing right here. For Arrancars, you Quincy are their natural enemies."

Gerard seemed to only then realize what was happening, stopping his pursuit of Tōshirō and turning to look at Ulquiorra, who still had one hand in his pocket.

Tōshirō's strength is such that even his defense can't be broken, so there's no need to worry about him.
