Thousands of Cero shot out, halting everyone's advance. The sudden burst of power was indeed Starrk's power. Everyone stopped advancing because a Starrk had appeared among the enemies.
The ever-lazy Starrk never liked to fight at full strength. He was simply too lazy to fight weaklings or powerful opponents, because it was unnecessary. He had fought for thousands of years to become Arrancar; just how much did he love fighting that he hadn't had enough after thousands of years? In short, Starrk was bored.
But that doesn't mean others can use his image to attack his family; that's taboo. Starrk's symbol is the Wolf Pack; he abhors loneliness. He even considers the Espada from the original comics as family, let alone his current real family.
A wolf suddenly appeared in front of the Starrk opposite him. He fired his gun at the wolf, but the wolf suddenly transformed into another Starrk — Eyepatch Starrk wearing Wolfskin Hat and Pipe that had been thrown into the air.
Starrk, now in his Segunda Etapa, pinched the imposter's face. He didn't use his gun; instead, he covered the imposter's mouth with his hand, pouring a massive amount of Spiritual Power into it, which then flowed into the imposter's body.
Rapidly, the man's body began to expand. He activated his Vollständig and his Sklaverei, but his body continued to expand, the immense Spiritual Power exceeding all that he could control.
"Quincy!" Starrk said, his voice low and dangerous, gripping the enormous, repulsive, swollen body. "Why did you make me angry?"
Explosion! Explosion far more powerful than Ulquiorra's two Lanza del Relámpago, the fury of the Starrk.
The Sternritter's strength isn't particularly formidable. In comparison, if we disregard the initial ability they absorbed, most of them, even with their Vollständig, would be roughly equal to the captains.
Only a few members of the Royal Guard, and the real V, the Visionary Gremmy Thoumeaux, are truly strong, but only in terms of ability; their strength is merely decent.
In fact, aside from Ichigo and Aizen, who are both Transcendent Level, the total strength of everyone in the original work, including those in the Zero Division, only reached the Critical Level in the final stages.
Yamamoto Genryūsai, Ichibē Hyōsube, Ulquiorra 'Yhwach Segunda Etapa, Ichigo in Hollow Mode, Ichigo
Only these five people possess the Critical Level, and among them, Ulquiorra has the weakest overall ability, Hollow Ichigo and Old Man Yamamoto are evenly matched, Ichibē Hyōsube is second, and finally, Yhwach is the strongest.
Yhwach is indeed incredibly powerful; his ability is among the highest tiers of all abilities, arguably unmatched. However, his power is still only at a critical juncture, not yet surpassed, making it impossible for him to remain undefeated.
So what Junichi been doing all along is raising the power level of the Soul Reaper world, elevating his own group to the Critical Level, and then using sheer numbers to Yhwach. This is absolutely achievable.
So, this group of Critical Level forces, when facing the Sternritter, had already annihilated the enemy, leaving no possibility of a comeback.
Natasha Letter Giselle Gewelle, the cross-dresser who could resurrect Zombies, and slashed Natasha with a single blow, splattering blood all over Natasha.
"Hmm? Is there poison in your blood?"
"Hehehe, this isn't poison. Touching my blood will kill you! Die!"
Natasha did indeed feel Giselle's power controlling her body, but this control was slow. Natasha didn't hold back, activating her Resurrección and then her Segunda Etapa.
Now that Jun has figured out the essence of the Segunda Etapa, things become simple. In fact, many things are not difficult to explain; the difficulty lies in having the courage to speak them out and not keeping them to oneself.
Natasha's symbol is the Black Widow spider; her emptiness represents the relationship between men and women. Similar to Nnoitra, who feared women, Nnoitra evokes a instinctive allure and then fear in men.
Therefore, Natasha's expectation is to live in equal, fearless relationships between men and women, which is very easy to achieve among the Arrancar. In fact, many Arrancar have already achieved this psychologically without realizing it. The reason they haven't Segunda Etapa is that they haven't felt enough pressure or truly realized that they are capable enough.
Therefore, a year or so was enough time to resolve their psychological issues, and they easily achieved their Segunda Etapa.
Natasha's Segunda Etapa expanded the spider tattoo on her back to cover her entire body. Her clothing was extremely revealing, with only her private parts covered by bone armor. The tattoos on her body were clearly visible, gleaming with a dangerous yet alluring light.
"Our father said that being capable is indeed impressive, but ultimately it depends on how capable the person using it is. We're too far behind. Bye-bye, little brother."
Natasha's fingers touched Giselle, Venom instantly melted Giselle into a pool of liquid, making the fight effortless.
Zennosuke Kuruyashiki Letter Nianzol Weizol, whose ability is to distort all attacks he can perceive, making him quite troublesome and annoying.
Zennosuke Kuruyashiki's Shikai couldn't touch him at all, but the Hollowfication Mask Kuruyashiki wasn't someone Huasuo could easily defeat either; the two stalled for a while.
"You haven't given up yet? My ability to the Wind is unparalleled; it allows all attacks to bypass me, so there's no way you can defeat me."
"Really? You're telling the enemy about all your abilities? Is there something wrong with you?"
Hua Suo, that freak with two tongues and a chatterbox, was laughing wildly, "That's because of my strength! The strong should give the weak a chance, otherwise wouldn't that be too cruel!?"
"Is that so?" Kuruyashiki chuckled. "Then thank you so much. How could a weakling like me not give it my best? Hollowfication Mask Fusion, release!"
"Hungry Gaki Shura Gagaku Kairō!"
Kuruyashiki exaggerated this explanation to the extreme, and a dark shadow tens of kilometers in size appeared, scaring away several battle zones nearby. Then, a gigantic jaw that could devour everything appeared.
Huasuo screamed in terror, trying to twist the giant jaws below with all his might, but they were too big, the attack range of tens of kilometers was too great, and he had no way to twist them away from the attack. The giant jaws enveloped him and then closed.
"Thank you, strong one, for giving me, a weakling, this opportunity," Kuruyashiki said expressionlessly, removing his Hollowfication Mask.
I don't know when it started, but the Soul Society developed a habit of telling their enemies about their abilities. In the original work, everyone would incessantly and incessantly tell their opponents about their powers, even if the opponent didn't want to hear it. It's incredibly humane, as if they're afraid the opponent won't know their abilities and won't be able to find a way to counter them.
Gin Ichimaru found an enemy on the battlefield. The guy had messy hair and wore a double eyelid, which made Gin Ichimaru think he looked a lot like Kaname Tōsen, and it really annoyed him.
"Hollowfication Mask Fusion, Kamishini no Yari disarmed... Too bad Rangiku isn't here, but whatever, shoot him! Kamishini no Yari!"
The swift and deadly Jusha, Letter with the character "U," and the ability "The Underbelly," which uses a special net-like Spiritual Power to drain the opponent's Spiritual Power, was named Nanajakup. He was instantly killed by Gin Ichimaru, the Underbelly.
Originally, the target was this guy's Yoruichi Shihōin, but he changed his target and ended up in the middle of a battle between three people. The two sides were the couple Kariya Jin and Kariya Yoshino, and their opponent was the Letter V, the Visionary Gremmy Thoumeaux.
Gremy's abilities were no less than those of Yhwach's four personal guards. His ability was imagination, and he could completely materialize what he imagined; he could even kill someone simply by imagining their death.
However, his ability isn't as amazing as he claims; it's not truly about Wish Fulfillment. A more accurate description would be the Consciousness Materialization rather than the manifestation of imagination. His ability is subject to fundamental laws; in other words, there are things he can't do, whereas imagination is entirely arbitrary.
Even so, this ability is still one of the superpowers capable of fighting opponents far stronger than themselves. In the original work, Gremy was defeated by Kenpachi Zaraki. Although the current Kariya Jin couple are stronger than the original Kenpachi Zaraki, their aura is not as strong.
Although both were Hollowfication Mask Fusion — Kariya Jin, Wind God Possession storms, and Yoshino, engulfed in flames like Fire Goddess —their attacks were completely neutralized by the same storms and flames.
"No threat," Gremy scoffed. His ability was consciousness; when he could completely analyze an ability and define it as non-threatening within his consciousness, then that ability truly posed no threat.
"Divine Roar! Inch Force: Open Heaven!"
Yoruichi appeared beside Gremy in a beam of light, Inch Force: Open Heaven that sent a massive surge of Spiritual Power flying, carrying Gremy into the distance.
This power was Kongbu strong, but for Gremy, no one could ever kill him in one blow, because his subconscious possessed absolute defense. Similar to W's twisted nature, attacks could be blocked by his subconscious.
However, Yoruichi is no longer the Yoruichi from the Karakura Town battle. The Hollowfication Mask Yoruichi chose is the Zegrod's Hollowfication Mask, just Junichi's. The Zegrod's Hollowfication Mask's special effect is a massive amount of Spiritual Pool and mana.
Yoruichi was no longer the same girl who could be destroyed with a single Inch Force: Open Heaven. Spiritual Power Ribbons rapidly formed behind her, transforming into butterfly wings, and in an instant, she was parallel to Gremy.
"Is this for real?!" Gremy was terrified. The speed at which he was pushed back was beyond the point of questioning who could catch up. Could anyone possibly outrun an energy release? Who would face something like Getsuga Tenshō or Cero instead of dodging it and instead try to race against it?
This is common sense, and within Gremy's abilities, it's invincible. In a sense, once Gremy gets used to this speed, he can use his abilities to achieve it. But right now, he hasn't adapted, and he's seen something even more Kongbu.
Yoruichi could go even faster; she moved even further ahead, waiting in the path that Gremi had been pushed towards by the energy of the previous creation. The Spiritual Power Flow Butterfly Wings twisted once more, and Yoruichi assumed her stance.
"Inch Force! Heaven-Opening!!"
The two Spiritual Power orbs have merged.
"How could such a monster exist!?"
The moment he uttered those words, he was defeated. One of the strongest Sternritter, V. Gremmy Thoumeaux, was killed in battle!
