At the same moment the Negación shone down, the fighting on all battlefields came to an abrupt halt...
Grimmjow and Kenpachi Zaraki were locked in fierce combat. Grimmjow had several gruesome wounds on his body, especially his left arm, which was almost severed and hung limply, dripping blood continuously.
Suddenly, a Negación struck Grimmjow. Kenpachi Zaraki, thinking it was a trick, slashed at him several times with his cleaved sword, but he couldn't affect Grimmjow inside the Negación.
"Fool, this is Negación, a way to retreat. Once we're enveloped by it, we can't affect the enemy anymore," Grimmjow explained, panting.
"Hey, don't run away, you bastard! I haven't had my fill yet! Get down here!"
Covered in blood, Kenpachi Zaraki roared at Grimmjow, who was ascending through the Negación, resembling a child whose toy had been snatched away.
"Escape? I was just forced to retreat. Kenpachi Zaraki, I'll remember your name. Don't worry, next time we meet I'll beat you to a pulp."
Grimmjow also made a tough statement, but it lacked deterrent effect because his morale had been almost completely shattered.
Kenpachi Zaraki felt a slight pang of regret, but then shouted excitedly, "I'll be waiting for you!"
Although Grimmjow didn't force Kenpachi Zaraki to reveal his swordsmanship, he did allow Zaraki to unleash his self-sealed power twice. It's fair to say Zaraki gained a huge advantage this time...
Ulquiorra was about to pierce the Ukitake where something was being arranged when the pale yellow Negación shone down, blocking his attack.
Ulquiorra glanced indifferently at the disheveled and treacherous duo. The Barrier surrounding their battlefield was only half-built. He guessed that Ukitake was probably preparing for Kyōraku's Bankai.
Unfortunately, before it was even finished, their own people had already completed the task. Negación irradiation meant retreat, and Ulquiorra, following the rules, naturally had no complaints...
Here at Szayelaporro, his eyes were vacant. A group of Soul Reaper surrounded him but dared not approach. Although Mayuri Kurotsuchi had disappeared, he had left behind a large circle of deadly poison around Szayelaporro.
They were both badly injured; Mayuri Kurotsuchi was killed once, and the newly developed Superhuman Drug had rendered Szayelaporro immobile... until then, the Negación saved him...
Tier Harribel retreated normally, without killing or seriously injuring her opponent, and her opponent did not hurt her either.
Her formidable fighting strength being only seventh place weighed heavily on Isshin and Soi Fon's minds; even without using Bankai, their combined efforts had yielded no advantage...
Before Yama-jii, Zero ascended onto the Negación and was at a loss. Just then, Zero gradually dissolved, turning into a pool of blood, and continued to rise into the sky...
The Monk didn't even glance at Sōkyoku; he lunged at Zero, convinced that the one before him was Zero's true form.
Zero said helplessly, "Alright! Goodbye!"
A Negación appeared, shining on Zero and keeping the approaching Monk at bay... Before Zero could even smile, a small golden seal appeared in the Monk's hand, and he began chanting incantations.
Then the seal suddenly burst into a dazzling light, almost blinding Zero. When the light faded, Zero opened his eyes and was horrified to find that he was no longer inside the Negación.
"Bakudō Ninety-Nine: Forbidden! First Curve, Stop the Bound!"
The Monk's expression turned grim again. Two black strips of cloth, crossed in a cross shape, bound him and pressed him to the ground. Then, some small stone tablets appeared, securing the black strips of cloth.
"Two turns, a hundred bolts linked!"
Once it happened, it happened again. The Monk's hand gesture changed, and dozens of black iron spikes pierced through him. After his scream, he was not only bound like a dumpling, but his whole body was also covered with iron spikes.
After completely imprisoning Zero, the monk Monk into a charlatan. "The Soul King, sparing your life. Otherwise, you would surely die today. Be grateful! Save yourself the right to live!"
"Drink up~"
Zero's throat was pierced, rendering him speechless and looking utterly miserable. He could only stare at the Monk, but his eyes held only mockery and disdain.
"Begging for mercy is useless; you will still be handed over to the Central 46 organization you once slaughtered, to deal with you."
Unfortunately, the Monk interpreted his gaze as a plea for mercy and paid no heed.
On the battlefield of Rukongai, Byakuya Kuchiki was seriously injured and fell into a coma in the final clash with Dordoni, while Dordoni also collapsed to the ground, and they were both in a situation of mutual destruction.
Before collapsing, Byakuya thought he was going to die here, but in his dazed state, he saw a girl in a kimono running towards him...
Dordoni, who wasn't finished off, fared slightly better. He wasn't unconscious, but he was also unable to move and could only watch helplessly as Byakuya was rescued by that girl.
It wasn't until shortly afterward, when a Negación shone on his body, that he felt he was about to be rescued.
A Negación was also shining down on Luppi's body, indicating that it needed to be retrieved.
Ten minutes ago, on this battlefield, Nel had just used her Resurrección.
Nel shrank to her head, her cheeks bearing red markings. Her upper body remained human, her arms were covered by a layer of black skin, and she wore bone bracelets. Her lower body was still that of a four-legged goat.
A spiraling Lance was thrown at him. Amagai saw it and, holding the huge 'Raika Inferno Flame Shell', he used Shunpo to dodge. However, a terrifying gust of air came from the tail of the Lance, carrying him away with it.
'Is this the release of Arrancar's Zanpakuto? So powerful!' In a moment of shock, Amagai plunged his 'Raika Inferno Flame Shell' into the ground to stop his retreating figure.
However, Nel had appeared behind him at some point, and after taking the 'Lanzador Verde', she was about to continue firing Amagai unleashed the 'Kōen Ryūgaen'.
Dense rays of intense heat shot out from the ground, forming a net of fire, followed by an even more terrifying, gigantic pillar of fire, forcing Nel to dodge using 'Super Acceleration'.
However, she only managed to create some distance. As she stood up on her hind legs and her front legs landed again, the 'Lanzador Verde' was thrown at the Amagai at an extremely high speed.
Amagai once again activated his Bankai, using it as a shield, but this time he was sent flying by the immense impact of the 'Lanzador Verde'.
Nel expressionless as she conjured another Cero from her mouth. This time, Amagai, who was in a state of weightlessness, was completely hit by the pink Cero.
Whew! Whew! Whew!
Heavy breathing could be heard. Amagai was barely able to stand up thanks to his Bankai. His Captain's Haori and Shihakusho were blown to shreds, and he had extensive burns on many parts of his body.
"Taking a Cero and only suffering this much damage? Captain-level is indeed formidable! But that's enough..."
Just as Nel's 'Lanzador Verde' was about to be thrown at Amagai again, five huge iron pillars fell from the sky, forcing her to abandon the projectile and dodge Amagai's Bakudō 'Gochūtekkan'.
Unwilling to die in battle, Amagai unleashed his full power with 'Che Flame Dragon Fang', a pillar of flame even larger than before, which chased after Nel and soared into the sky.
After dodging repeatedly, Nel's tail was scorched by the flames... In an instant, her otherwise cute face turned incredibly gloomy.
"You actually dared to... kill you!"
Nel released an even stronger Reiatsu. Instead of throwing the musket, she grabbed it and charged quickly toward Amagai.
Feeling the pressure, Amagai continuously unleashed flame pillars in an attempt to stop Nel's charge, but she was too fast. Before the flame pillars could even erupt, she had already passed the point of impact.
Nel charged forward at breakneck speed and thrust her spear at Amagai. Amagai managed to block it with Bankai again, but was thrown back by the immense force of the impact.
After the initial strike, Nel seized the moment as they passed each other, spun her lance around, and thrust the other end of it into Amagai's left rear shoulder.
A burst of blood erupted, Amagai suddenly felt that he could no longer lift his left hand. He could only use his right hand to hold the 'Raika Inferno Flame Shell' upside down and release a giant fireball to chase after Nel.
Nel circled halfway around at high speed and then turned back, maintaining her high-speed momentum. Amagai chanted incantations and released 'Dankū' the moment Nel approached.
Caught off guard Nel could only raise her spear and charge straight in. With a crack, 'Dankū', though cracked, ultimately blocked the attack. Nel was left dizzy from the impact, and a pillar of fire shot up from the ground, striking her precisely.
"Go to hell! Drink up!"
Amagai roared and increased the firepower, causing the flame pillar, originally five meters in diameter, to double in size to fifteen meters.
Click, click!
'Dankū' shattered completely, Nel was scorched by flames all over her body, but she still raised her front hooves and threw 'Lanzador Verde' again.
While still maintaining his firepower, Amagai was instantly pierced through the abdomen, the immense impact sending him flying hundreds of meters away...
"I don't know how things are going with Dordoni. There's no time left, so let's just finish off this guy as soon as possible!"
Nel approached Amagai, drew her lance, and then glanced at the towering 'Kokujō Tengen Myō'ō' not far away. She raised her lance as if to throw it...
Over here, Nnoitra, who had transformed into a six-armed mantis, was lying on the ground. After several rounds of fighting, he was knocked to the ground by the power of the 'Kokujō Tengen Myō'ō'.
Nnoitra had a gruesome wound on his right shoulder, inflicted by Komamura's Bankai slash, which nearly severed Nnoitra's right shoulder.
The two were evenly matched in strength, but Nnoitra, having just finished a fierce battle, was less durable and was caught off guard and dealt a heavy blow.
At that moment, Muramasa Zanpakuto high and roared, "It's over!"
Following Komamura's movements, the Myōō also swung his sword down, intending to completely obliterate Nnoitra was lying on the ground. But at that moment, a sharp Lance was thrown from not far away, and the enormous force was enough to send 'Kokujō Tengen Myō'ō' flying.
Its massive body was lifted thousands of meters before crashing down, raising a cloud of dust. Komamura was also thrown backward, his abdomen injured and bleeding. Bankai injuries can cause injury.
"Damn it, could it be that Captain Amagai also...?"
Komamura was shocked and furious; he hadn't even finished off his opponent when his comrade was already dead.
"Who told you to save me?" Nnoitra didn't immediately express gratitude, but instead questioned Nel.
"We're on the same side, isn't it perfectly normal to save you? Lord Nangong also said that we can't just stand by and watch our own kind die."
Nel brought up Zero; she didn't want to waste any more words with this guy. "I'll take care of him first!"
"Hey, this is my opponent... I can still fight!"
Nnoitra roared and stood firm, raising his Liandao. He wanted to continue fighting Komamura, even if he were killed; that was exactly what he wanted.
Just then, two beams of Negación shot down, striking Nel and Nnoitra; they were about to retreat...
