On Ulquiorra's side, Ōetsu Nimaiya used his Zanpakuto, which possessed spatial power, to first pull Modier and Leiluo into it... A few seconds later, he reappeared normally.
Looking at the two men lying in pools of blood, each cut in two, Ulquiorra said with a hint of resentment, "Knowing they couldn't defeat the three of us, you chose to take them down one by one? A smart move."
Ōetsu Nimaiya didn't seem to care at all, coldly saying, "You're next."
As soon as he finished speaking, he instantly moved closer to Ulquiorra, and after a moment of spatial distortion, the two disappeared simultaneously.
Zero looked towards Grimmjow's side again. The spring water from the 'White Bone Hell' was blasted back by Grimmjow, but as long as Tenjirō Kirinji was alive, this spring water could be continuously produced.
'Kinpika' pierced through the water droplets and cut towards Grimmjow's waist, causing blood to splatter; the emerald green 'Slacking-Off Missiles' also hit Tenjirō Kirinji three times in succession, causing blood to overflow from the corner of his mouth.
Grimmjow moved forward, his sharp claws aimed straight for Tenjirō Kirinji's face. Just as he was about to succeed, a huge wave swallowed them both.
When Tenjirō Kirinji emerged from the water, he did indeed have several more wounds on his face, but they quickly faded and eventually disappeared.
Once the red spring water reappeared, Tenjirō Kirinji was completely restored to its normal state.
On the other hand, Grimmjow was panting heavily; he was exhausted. He hadn't been as tired as when he was constantly injured and worn down during his battle with Kenpachi Zaraki.
This was because he had been drained of his Reiatsu by the spring water countless times, and he was becoming more and more exhausted with each battle... Before this separation, Grimmjow had once gained the upper hand and even almost killed Tenjirō Kirinji.
Unfortunately, it was just a close call. At this moment, Tenjirō Kirinji was in control, constantly wearing down Grimmjow's stamina.
Tenjirō Kirinji coldly healed himself, constantly depleting Grimmjow while also splashing him with spring water. Each time he touched the spring water, a significant amount of his Reiryoku was drawn out.
Unlike treating critically injured patients, Tenjirō Kirinji is violent towards its enemies, forcibly controlling the spring water to exploit them.
Ōetsu Nimaiya's healing method was a bit hasty and violent, but Tenjirō Kirinji knows his companions inside and out, so there's no need to be afraid no matter how brutal their methods are, because their Squad is very difficult to kill.
Zero turned to look at the other side and saw hundreds of blue light spirits around Picaro, all in the bodies of children with various faces, both boys and girls, with locust wings and dragonfly wings on their backs.
His Resurrección was even more perfect; each of the spirits wielded Reishi short sword, and the swirling air transformed into sharp blades, constantly cutting the hidden threads of Senjumaru.
Her metal hands danced again, and a large net of unknown material quickly took shape. Picaro's spirit could no longer cut through the net, and Picaro, located at the center of the net, had nowhere to hide.
Just as the net was about to complete its capture, the surrounding spirits transformed into a circle, encircling the main bodies of Picaro and Senjumaru. Three dark purple spheres appeared, instantly piercing several holes in the taut net, which then disappeared completely.
This is Picaro's 'Devouring Fruit', a technique that absolutely allows him to devour Reishi, similar to the Quincy's 'Sklaverei'.
The difference lies in the fact that 'Sklaverei' has a larger range but insufficient devouring power and can be stopped; while 'Devouring Fruit' has a smaller devouring range, and it's rare for a soul to be touched and remain intact, unless the opponent's Reiatsu is terrifyingly high...
Clearly, Senjumaru did not possess the ability to ignore Picaro's attacks. After the net was broken, she retreated in horror, and a weapon with barbs swept past her.
"Hehehe, hahaha, this is so much fun."
Picaro let out a strange laugh, and his dozens of spirits simultaneously pounced on Senjumaru.
Senjumaru was incredibly fast, completely blocking the attacks of the dozens of spirits. Picaro sneered and then sent over a hundred more spirits swarming forward.
This time, Senjumaru was struggling to hold on. Her hands were nearing their limit, but she still couldn't completely block the spirit's attacks.
She had a scratch on her cheek and another on her throat, and her expensive clothes were torn in several places.
Although he was instantly stitched up, Senjumaru's eyes were filled with murderous intent, as if he wanted to devour Picaro whole, but this was quickly followed by a look of seriousness...
Because the spirits that had just been blocked regrouped, this time there were more than five hundred spirits, which was Picaro's full strength.
Just as the spirits Sky Cover, a wooden wall stood before Senjumaru, shielding her from the onslaught. Kirio Hikifune to her aid...
"At this rate, who knows how long you'll be fighting!"
Having witnessed the abilities of the four members of Zero Division, Zero decided to wait no longer.
Zero's voice caused several duels to stop simultaneously, and everyone turned to look at him warily.
A red light erupted from his chest, and four rising red Reiatsu extended rapidly like serpents.
One of the first strikes hit Grimmjow's abdomen, creating a hole that connected Zero and Grimmjow...
"What is this? Healing ability?"
Grimmjow asked Zero a question, and his Reiryoku began to recover and expand rapidly. The pillar of Reiatsu that shot into the sky even moved Tenjirō Kirinji, who was opposite him.
"Are you kidding me? It was almost nerfed to the point of being unable to Resurrection its Resurrección, and it's actually back to full health and even stronger?"
Tenjirō Kirinji looked at Zero on the other side. It was obvious that this was that guy's doing, but he didn't know what kind of ability it was.
"It's not a healing ability; it's just that I've shared a small portion of the overflowing power of the Hōgyoku with you—less than a tenth. If you still can't win..."
Zero didn't continue speaking, only giving Grimmjow a meaningful look. Grimmjow had just completed his upgrade, and Zero had proactively severed the teleportation link.
"Although I didn't hear what you said, this power is amazing! Crushing these ants shouldn't be a problem, haha..." From surprise to ecstasy, Grimmjow didn't think too much.
After obtaining a portion of the Hōgyoku Power, his Reiatsu expanded excessively, causing it to overflow, and blue flames of burning Reiatsu began to appear on his body.
Its appearance also began to change; its blue hair turned white, and blue-black Reiryoku patterns appeared all over its body. A tail also grew from its back, and the sharp Reiatsu attached to its two tails seemed to indicate that they could sever an opponent's throat...
"Haha, you're dead."
Picaro also received a portion of the Hōgyoku's power, and his body was also enveloped in burning Reiatsu flames, while the number of those spirits remained unchanged.
However, their short weapons have been replaced with spears several times taller than their bodies, and they are all in a throwing motion, seemingly about to bombard Senjumaru and Kirio Hikifune from a distance.
As the two were defending themselves, they were stunned by another rising Reiatsu, exclaiming in astonishment, "That's... how is this possible? The one who was supposed to be killed has actually come back to life?"
Not far away, Zero had just severed his connection with Picaro. At that moment, in front of him, Tier Harribel's corpse opened its eyes and entered its Resurrección state on its own.
When Tier Harribel fell to the ground after being stabbed, Zero went forward to check the wound and also tried to treat her. After various conventional methods failed, he had the Hōgyoku separate some of its power and give it to Tier Harribel.
The result was clear: the power of the Hōgyoku not only healed her soul, which had been completely severed from her chest, but also made her stronger...
Tier Harribel, radiating azure-gold Reiatsu flames, knelt before Zero, firmly declaring, "Lord Nangong, I will never let you down again."
Zero merely nodded slightly, then severed the other two links with Baraggan and Ulquiorra, whose final evolution was now complete.
The space suddenly shattered, and Baraggan, also emanating red Reiatsu flames, appeared. He had four bone spurs on his head, making him look ferocious.
Several long, deadly snakes began to pounce on the cage of life that Kirio Hikifune had created; the duel between death and life was a duel between destruction and creation.
The 'Life Barrier' that could absorb Reishi and Reiatsu attacks aged continuously after touching the 'Death Breath', eventually turning into rotten wood and being shattered by the Reiatsu Gale blowing from other battlefields.
From this perspective, Baraggan's immense power made him even more capable... Baraggan withdrew the excessive release of Death Breath, allowing Zero to move straight forward.
Kirio Hikifune and Senjumaru, who attempted to stop them, were also blocked by Picaro and Tier Harribel...
The sound of space shattering rang out again, followed by a shockwave that indiscriminately struck friend and foe alike, and then Ōetsu Nimaiya emerged... but his Zero Division uniform was a complete mess, and he had several severe burns on his body, making him look like a charred corpse.
Ōetsu Nimaiya wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, still shaken, and said, "Tch, after I chopped off half of his head, he can still resort to such a suicide move? He's really troublesome."
"To die together with the enemy? I don't recall ever doing anything like that!"
Ulquiorra's indifferent voice sent a chill down Ōetsu Nimaiya's spine.
Despite his fear, Ōetsu Nimaiya reacted quickly, dodging Ulquiorra's powerful spear strike, but his left hand fell to the ground.
Ōetsu Nimaiya couldn't understand it. Half of his head had been shaved off, and half of his body had been destroyed in the explosion. Even with High-Speed Regeneration, there was absolutely no reason why he should still be alive. It had already violated the rules and order of a normal soul entity.
That's probably an ability that touches upon the realm of gods.
After comparing himself to them, Ōetsu Nimaiya finally realized that... the enemy could no longer be viewed as Hollows or Arrancars; they should be considered as beings on the same level as himself.
Moreover, these beings at the same level seem to possess power surpassing theirs...
Zero was no longer paying attention to the battle here. It was five against four. If they could lose to the Zero Division, Zero wouldn't hesitate to take back the power he had given away... That's right, he could control the distribution or take back of the Hōgyoku Power at will.
Even though the Soul King's Inner Palace were hidden at the end of the Omotesandō, Zero could still sense its direction; this was because as he approached that direction, Zero felt a pair of eyes watching him from the shadows.
He felt those eyes saw through his past and his future; they looked him over from the inside out, from head to toe.
Zero knew that the only one who could give him this feeling was probably the legendary Soul King, which made Zero even more curious about his existence and what exactly was going on.
Finally, a barrier with the character 'Hidden' written on it appeared in front of Zero, blocking his path, and then a brush swept towards him.
After dodging to the side, Ling looked at the glaring Monk, who was also the last shield of the Soul King Palace.
