"Go! Crush these ants!"
Baraggan his hand domineeringly, ordering eight of his Fracción to attack and surround Soi Fon, Aizen, and the other two.
Aizen kept his Zanpakuto in a drawn position, slowly moving it to attract the attention of the Arrancar.
After confirming that Arrancar had seen Kyōka Suigetsu, he smiled slightly and suggested, "Captain Soi Fon, I'll deal with these eight. How about you all team up to fight that Espada?"
Soi Fon was slightly surprised, but then immediately understood that Aizen wanted to use his Zanpakuto's abilities to fight against overwhelming odds.
Soi Fon responded to Aizen with action, attempting to break through the encirclement of eight Arrancars using Shunpo. However, Baraggan also had a skilled fighter under his command, and a tall, thin Arrancar intercepted her.
However, Soi Fon declared that she was no pushover and, with incredible speed, bypassed the tall, thin Arrancar and stood before Baraggan.
The tall, thin Arrancar Zommari roared, "You're asking for it!"
"Dare to ignore us?"
Soi Fon's actions immediately enraged Baraggan's Fracción, who all turned to kill this enemy who had shown such disrespect to Baraggan. However, Aizen began to display his power.
Several streams of water appeared on the scene, and the so-called Flowing Water System Kyōka Suigetsu, began to be used, and the eight Arrancar Fracción began to fight each other.
From Cero to Resurrección, even when Baraggan told them to stop, it was no use; these eight people were completely insane, fighting to the death.
"You bastard, it was you who did this."
As Baraggan cursed angrily, he pulled out Great Axe Sonído at Aizen, but Aizen dodged the attack with Shunpo until Soi Fon stopped Baraggan Shunpo.
"Sorry, my Reiatsu can only hypnotize these small fry; it's slightly insufficient against Blade-level opponents."
Aizen's face was deathly pale, and he looked like he had exhausted himself... That's acting skill; in the World of the Living, he should be given an Oscar.
"Don't worry, leave the rest to us."
Soi Fon actually believed it and confidently comforted Aizen, which made Aizen laugh.
Just then, Yama-jii crossed the battlefield and ran towards the top of the Sky Cover. Aizen seemed to realize something and said, "I'll try to finish this battle as quickly as possible to reinforce the Captain-Commander. I'll leave the Espada to you guys."
"No problem."
As Soi Fon responded to Aizen, she was also recalling Baraggan's ability: 'Why did my speed suddenly slow down when I got close to him? What is his ability?'
Kyōraku and Ulquiorra's duel didn't last long, because after noticing that Yama-jii was heading towards the Sky Cover, Ulquiorra feinted an attack and then gave chase.
"Hey, the game isn't over yet!"
Kyōraku was also surprised; this seemingly indifferent Espada actually had something he intended to protect.
Ulquiorra did not reply to him, and continued to fly upwards rapidly... Not only him, Grimmjow also immediately unleashed his Resurrección, intending to quickly defeat Kenpachi Zaraki he could go up and help.
Even if the other Espada didn't Resurrección, they still made their rival Soul Reaper feel their urgency; the Reiatsu they unleashed at full power was the best proof of that.
' The Espada are all getting anxious. It seems that Nangong Ling is likely involved, and there's a high probability that he's under some kind of restriction preventing him from moving.' Kyōraku, noticing all this, was pleasantly surprised. Yama-jii's gamble paid off, and Urahara didn't disappoint!
After several chases, Kyōraku caught up with Ulquiorra using his Shunpo) skills.
"Get out of the way."
Ulquiorra's eyes flashed with murderous intent as Zanpakuto in one hand and Cero or Bala in the other to force Kyōraku to back down.
Fighting you always feels like fighting a lifeless stone. This is the first time I've ever felt you get anxious!
After being repeatedly pressured, Kyōraku unleashed his Shikai, transforming from the one being pressured into the one exerting pressure. The two were now fighting on the very edge of the Sky Cover.
Boom!
Ulquiorra was blasted into the edge of the Sky Cover Cero, creating two large craters. Huge falling rocks, like meteors, forced those on the battlefield below to retreat.
"Since that's the case, then let's take you down first... Sealing the Black-Winged Great Demon!"
Facing Kyōraku, Ulquiorra once again Resurrección, his black wings suddenly spreading wide, the deepened tear stains seeming to tell of the sorrows of his past life.
This is a one-on-one duel. Without Ukitake's Kyōraku, and with both sides knowing each other, Ulquiorra plans to settle things with Kyōraku first.
The azure Reishi Spear swung, and Kyōraku assumed a blocking stance. The immense force slammed him from the edge of the Sky Cover towards Las Noches, essentially changing the location of their attack...
The azure sky and the distant, sun-like object provide light and warmth to the Las Noches... Of course, all of that is artificial.
"What a surprise! This is what you find here."
Kyōraku was slightly surprised by the scene Las Noches. He had only crashed through the wall in the back and his hat had broken during the impact, but he was otherwise unharmed.
"This is just a preliminary experiment, nothing to be surprised about. Later, Lord Nangong will turn the night in the entire Hueco Mundo into a sky, with sunrise and sunset, wind and rain, just like your world."
As Ulquiorra described the grand blueprint of Hueco Mundo, he conjured a terrifying Black Cero and blasted it towards Kyōraku. Then, wielding his Reishi Spear, he anticipated Kyōraku's location and attacked.
Kyōraku dodged the Cero but was caught by Ulquiorra. The two once again engaged in close combat with their blades, and the collision generated powerful Reiatsu that distorted space again, causing the Arrancars defending inside to tremble.
At this moment, Ulquiorra suddenly used a fighting style different from before. He used to only hold a spear in his right hand, but now a spear also grew in his left hand, corresponding to Kyōraku's 'Katen Kyōkotsu'.
As the two were locked in fierce combat, an even more intense surge of Reiatsu suddenly erupted from the Sky Cover, followed by a golden pillar of flame shooting down from Sky Cover, piercing through the desert and reaching the Menos Grande Forest.
'This Reiatsu... Starrk has also Resurrección? The Captain-Commander the Soul Reaper is a formidable enemy who once defeated Nangong; he couldn't possibly be a match for him in a one-on-one fight.'
Ulquiorra sensed Starrk's Reiatsu through the breach created by the pillar of fire, and he knew he couldn't wait any longer.
"What a surprise! That must be your First Espada! The Reiatsu is truly astonishing."
Kyōraku noticed Ulquiorra's hidden urgency, yet he deliberately spoke up to buy time.
Looking at the hole in the Sky Cover where lava was still dripping, Ulquiorra said indifferently, "Originally, we planned to defeat you Las Noches prevent its destruction, but it seems there's no stopping us now. I believe Lord Nangong will understand."
As soon as he finished speaking, black Reiryoku threads spread out from his body, and the Reiatsu, as if materialized, covered the entire Las Noches. Many monitoring Spirit Worm were instantly crushed by the Reiatsu.
"What!? It can get even stronger!?"
Kyōraku stared in horror at Ulquiorra's appearance and the change in his Reiatsu that followed... He realized that this time he could no longer hide his true nature.
Top of the Sky Cover.
The raging flames illuminated the entire night sky, and the black smoke from the burning Reishi continued to rise. The powerful Reiatsu of the Yama-jii affected the battlefield below from the Sky Cover.
Starrk had already Resurrección, and fired both guns in quick succession. Each Bullet was a powerful Cero, enough to kill a Fracción- ranking Arrancar with just one hit, and even Arrancar Blade-level Adjuchas would be severely injured with two hits.
But even this level of power had absolutely no effect on the Captain-Commander Soul Reaper in front of Starrk.
First, let's compare their Reiatsu. After Starrk's Resurrección, his Reiatsu reached the level of Twelve Trucks, which is also at the First Dimension level. His transformed Reiatsu gives people a strange feeling; it is both Starrk and Lilynette.
However, the Reiatsu of the Yama-jii in its Shikai is even more exaggerated, reaching seventeen chariots. After its Shikai, it is truly a walking sun, with Ryūjin Jakka as hot as the surface of the sun.
Yama-jii could withstand Starrk's Cero with just a Ryūjin Jakka, and it was even more powerful. A normal, concentrated strike shattered the Sky Cover...
"Annoying brat, since that's the case, I'll deal with you first."
Yama-jii was getting annoyed by Starrk's Cero. His original target wasn't the Espada, but since the other party was courting death, he had no choice but to grant his wish.
The blazing flames formed a fortified city, trapping Yama-jii and Starrk within, a move intended to deliver a fatal blow.
"There's no way to dodge his fiery attack! In that case, Cero - Infinite Ammo!"
Seeing his dodge range shrink, Starrk immediately aimed his gun at Yama-jii and fired over a thousand Cero in a single second. The azure Cero pierced through the 'Flame Walled Prison' and shot into the distance like fireworks...
"Is this Reiatsu also from Arrancar?" Isshin exclaimed in shock.
"Are you scared? It's a good thing to know fear, cherish it!" Tier Harribel agreed with Isshin's feelings, because she was also surprised by Starrk's moves.
The battlefield Las Noches clearly showed this blue torrent, and the Reiatsu it contained made the Captains all turn their heads in surprise...
That's all there is to it.
Yama-jii remained calm, rapidly dodging as he approached Starrk who was firing. He then suddenly swung his Ryūjin Jakka, sending a long, fiery dragon flying towards Starrk, forcing him to stop firing and dodge, or he would be devoured by the fire dragon.
"Starrk, use that move! Cero is completely ineffective!"
"But, what would happen if you did that...?"
"Lord Nangong has granted us even greater power; I will be fine."
"All right!"
After a brief exchange, Starrk and Lilynette realized that their enemy could no longer be dealt with by conventional means, so they began to use a move that would harm each other— Soul Division!
A pack of wolves, split from Lilynette's Soul Division, appeared, numbering over a hundred... This tactic is a classic case of killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of your own, sacrificing your own soul fragments to inflict damage on the enemy.
It's not quite as good as the way a group of spirits used their techniques after Picaro's Resurrección, but it has the advantage of immense power in each shot and strong independent tracking ability.
