Zero already knew that the Seireitei was under a powerful Kidō Sealing, and they had made corresponding preparations. This Kidō Sealing could be easily broken.
"Experimental Subject J, this Barrier shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"
"Yes, Lord Nangong."
At Zero's command, a gaunt man with slanted eyebrows and a vacant stare appeared and knelt on one knee in response.
If any members of the Sternritter were present, they would have been absolutely certain that the man who was being so respectful to Zero was none other than the Schrift 'J', Cang Du Opie, whom they had personally killed!
Even as the Seireitei was Sealing by the Kidō, the battle in Rukongai did not cease; instead, it intensified...
Nnoitra was originally facing two opponents, but Tōsen insisted on upholding justice for his subordinates and chose to fight Nnoitra one-on-one. After his Shikai attack failed to affect Nnoitra, Tōsen chose to activate his Bankai.
Komamura stood guard outside Tōsen's Bankai. Before him was a giant black sphere, formed by Tōsen's Bankai. The space inside could strip the opponent of all four senses except touch, making it incredibly terrifying...
On the other side, Amagai Shūsuke also used his Bankai to fight Nel for several rounds. His Bankai blade was scarlet with a hook at the end and a shell-like notch on the hilt that could spew out powerful flames.
Amagai Shūsuke roared, "Che Flame Dragon Fang!"
He plunged his Bankai 'Raika Inferno Flame Shell' into the ground, and a towering pillar of fire erupted continuously as Nel moved, forcing her to constantly dodge.
As for the two Vice-Captains, they had already been severely injured and unconscious by Nel. Currently, only Amagai still has the strength to fight her.
As Nel continued to retreat, her lips parted slightly, first revealing a sliver of pink light. When she stood still, the pink light shot towards Amagai — Cero —like a laser cannon.
Amagai held up his 'Raika Inferno Flame Shell', the massive blade completely obscuring him. Nel's Cero was too powerful, blasting Amagai and his Bankai away.
This is the power of the Vasto Lorde Arrancar; even without Resurrección, they can fight against these young Captain-level Bankai. Their battle has already devastated the forest in this area.
Furthermore, just now Amagai intentionally forced Nel away from where her two subordinates were unconscious, causing the damaged area to become even larger.
A mere Cero wouldn't have been enough to kill Amagai on the spot. Before the dust had even settled, a pillar of fire burst through the dust and spewed towards Nel. She moved slightly away from the pillar of fire.
Nel's face was serious. As the dust settled, Amagai appeared carrying the 'Raika Inferno Flame Shell'. The previous Cero had only made him look slightly disheveled, but it had not injured him.
After letting out a long breath, Nel said with a hint of helplessness, "Captain-level after Bankai is really not weak in battle!"
Amagai sneered, "Heh, is that mockery? If I'm not mistaken, you haven't even unleashed your Zanpakuto yet, have you? Logically speaking, I've already Bankai, so shouldn't I at least be able to witness the unleashing of Arrancar's sword?"
Just as Nel was about to respond to Amagai, Zero's voice came from beside her. "Nel- chan, did you hear that? Nel- chan?"
"Ah? Lord Nangong, can you hear me?"
Hearing her boss's slightly frivolous voice, Nel was initially surprised and quickly replied. Meanwhile, Amagai noticed that Nel's mature, sophisticated demeanor faltered slightly, and she became a little goofy...
In fact, both Dondochakka Birstanne and Pesche knew about Nel's naive and innocent side, a side that Nel only learned about by chance during a visit to her palace... But Nel never dared to neglect the respect that Zero should have for her.
"You don't need to stall any longer. If you can take care of the opponent within ten minutes, do so. If not, prepare to retreat."
"Yes."
Upon receiving Zero's latest instructions, Nel's gaze towards Amagai changed. She, who had been debating whether to use her true abilities, had now made up her mind.
"Nangong Ling's orders? Heh heh heh, you actually think that kind of shady person is worth your service." Amagai's face was slightly ferocious; he had just heard the words 'Lord Nangong'.
In Amagai's view, Nangong Ling was an accomplice of Captain-Commander Yamamoto, and his sins were even deeper than those of the Captain-Commander murdered his father. He would always hate Ling and would try to find a way to take revenge.
As for the truth... heh, now that you're under my Aizen, what I show you is the truth. As for what happened before, that's irrelevant now...
"I won't pretend I didn't hear that. I don't know what Lord Nangong's reputation is like in the Gotei 13, but it's definitely not bad," Nel retorted, her voice tinged with anger. "He can even be called light, giving us, the Menos Grande, a rare haven of peace."
Nel was a staunch supporter of Zero. She initially joined only after being slightly coerced by Ulquiorra, but after learning about the rule that "private duels are prohibited in all places except the Arena" within Las Noches, Nel completely fell in love with the Arrancar Army.
No one has retreated into killing and devouring out of fear; they can gather together, sit at the same table to eat and drink tea... What a blessing this is for the Void, born of fear.
"Heh, admittedly, he has done good for you, but for the Soul Society, he is still a dark evil. It's a matter of perspective," Amagai retorted with a cold laugh, his words laced with personal agenda.
"Then what's the point of me arguing with you?"
Nel's gaze grew increasingly cold. She placed her Zanpakuto flat against her chest, blade facing outwards, and uttered in a deep voice, "Sing, Gamuza!"
A powerful Reiatsu erupted from her body, and the Reiatsu Gale blew away the leaves and broken branches that had already been scattered on the ground. The immense Reiatsu, so great that it made it difficult for Seated Officer to breathe, permeated the surrounding area.
"Does power ultimately decide everything?"
With a wave of his Amagai unleashed the 'Raika Inferno Flame Shell,' confirming that joining Aizen's side was the right choice.
Judging by the level of his Bankai, he probably couldn't even defeat Nangong Ling's subordinates, let alone seek revenge against him personally...
"This Reiatsu... is it from Captain Amagai's opponent? So strong..."
Sajin Komamura glanced at the two wounded men behind him, wanting to help them but fearing they might be attacked, so he could only temporarily trust Amagai to do it.
Just then, the elliptical Bankai space that Kaname Tōsen unleash shattered on the spot, and a golden Reiatsu filled the entire area, while Tōsen's own Reiatsu rapidly weakened...
"Tōsen!"
With a roar, Komamura's wolf eyes beneath his barrel helmet were filled with disbelief. He drew his Zanpakuto and summoned the 'Kokujō Tengen Myō'ō' with his Shikai, slashing at the mantis that was pressing its advantage.
Boom!
"Tsk, who can you kill with that little bit of force? Don't do things that make you look down on people like this blind man!"
Nnoitra sneered. He had already Resurrección, and with four hands wielding huge Liandao, he easily blocked Komamura's attack.
Komamura showed no reaction to the blocked attack. He had already arrived beside Tōsen, who lay in a pool of blood. Tōsen's chest was rising and falling weakly, indicating that he was breathing more and more than he was taking in air, and he couldn't even speak.
Tōsen was only slashed three times, but each slash was fatal. The slash to his left neck almost cut through his trachea, and the two diagonal cuts to his chest formed an X. The lungs were also injured, and even a corps Captain-level would die from excessive blood loss.
After picking up Tōsen and placing him next to the two Vice-Captains, Komamura returned to face Nnoitra once again.
Although he had applied for a medical team before the Seireitei Sealing, Tōsen's injuries were more severe than those of the two Vice-Captains, and the chances of him surviving until the medical team arrived were slim...
"Bankai: Kokujō Tengen Myō'ō!"
Enraged, Komamura suddenly activated his Bankai, shouting, "Be prepared! Arrancar, I won't be as gentle as Tōsen."
The Kokujō Tengen Myō'ō, clad in heavy armor, appeared, towering into the clouds. From the ground, one could only look up at him, giving the impression that he could hold up the heavens and the earth.
"Hehehe, are you angry? Is this your Bankai? It looks pretty powerful."
Nnoitra also had three shallow wounds on his body, all inflicted by him during Tōsen's Bankai earlier; these were injuries sustained after his Resurrección.
Before his Resurrección, he had taken several heavy blows in Tōsen's Bankai, and it was only through his Resurrección that his wounds healed.
Having taken so many blows at the beginning, a normal person would have been cut down by Tōsen long ago. Unfortunately, Nnoitra was a madman who wanted to fight to the death. In the end, after Resurrección, he found an opportunity and delivered a series of blows to Tōsen with his Liandao, which led to Tōsen's defeat.
"You'll see how amazing it is once you try it! Drink up!"
Without further ado, Komamura swung his sword directly at Nnoitra, while the Kokujō Tengen Myō'ō Myōō imitated Komamura's move, also slashing at Nnoitra.
Outside the Sekki-seki of the Seireitei, Cang Du, with a slightly blank expression... no, it would be more appropriate to call him Experimental Subject J.
He was now raising his hands high, pressing them against an invisible city wall, constantly breaking down and seizing the Reishi that made up this Kidō wall.
"That's amazing! In just a few minutes, they dismantled four layers of formations."
Zero followed behind Experimental Subject J, slightly coveting the power of the Quincy.
'Experimental Subject J' is Szayelaporro's masterpiece. He cloned and cultivated the deceased Cang Du to a 100% degree. Although he can use some of the skills from his previous life, they are not many.
After learning of the project's success, Zero immediately transferred J from Szayelaporro and subsequently enhanced J's Quincy Sklaverei, intending to use it to break certain Kidō seals.
