"Dissolution? Is it the ability of Shikai? But it's alright, I'll pour some anesthetic toxin on you, then put you in Container..."
At this moment, Szayelaporro was still unaware that something was wrong. He took out a small bottle from somewhere and went over to drip it onto Zero, who had turned into blood and fallen to the ground.
"Idiot, this guy is a fake, we've all been fooled."
If Baraggan had a face, you would see that his face was ashen at this moment.
"Where did the problem lie? Yes, he created clones beforehand, but can he create clones without Bankai? Damn Soul Reaper, he misjudged the situation..."
Thinking of Zero's ability to create clones, Szayelaporro realized that they had been made fools of and had gotten nowhere.
"He may have created clones a long time ago, and the loophole lies here: the clones aren't his Bankai abilities, so... his real body is waiting for us outside."
Baraggan's deep, skeletal eyes seemed to be lost in thought. He had been the ruler of Hueco Mundo for so many years, yet now his rule had been overthrown by a Soul Reaper with Hollow powers.
At this moment Baraggan thought to himself: This is ridiculous, utterly absurd! Have I, Baraggan, really been too lax? My strength has not improved for so long, leading to this state.
"Sorry, this was my mistake. It seems we need to rethink our plans..."
Szayelaporro offered a slight apology, for he had already prepared a way out and was unlikely to die at this point unless he perished in the battle.
"Hmph, a brat is a brat, don't you understand? Before absolute power, petty tricks are utterly useless..."
A snapping sound interrupted Baraggan's words; the time for sealing the space had finally come to an end.
Suddenly, the Garganta opened, and several beams of bright yellow Negación light shone out from within, enveloping Szayelaporro, Baraggan, and Picaro.
As Baraggan ascended, his vision was also opened, revealing that the battle in the outside world was nearing its end, with the Menos Grande of Las Noches either killed or having already escaped.
The desert, now a battlefield, was in complete disarray Blood Panther Group's Menos Grande were frantically devouring the fallen. From beginning to end, the war had only lasted a mere ten minutes.
Although the Menos Grande of the Blood Panther Group panicked slightly upon seeing their commander Sealing, the outcome was a resounding victory for them...
"Negación? A wise choice. It seems that if you don't die, our new force will have a hard time finding peace."
After seeing the three main characters take off, Zero praised them with a hint of sarcasm, while Ulquiorra stood silently beside him.
With a slight shift in his gaze, Zero, who had come up with another idea, tried to follow the Negación, but a Negación net suddenly appeared at the entrance of the Garganta, blocking his way.
It's that modified Adjuchas Roga again. Only she can use the reverse membrane silk so freely. It's already good enough that Kylian can release the reverse membrane.
They wanted to track them through the Garganta, but the Garganta was too dangerous and had too many uncontrollable factors. Moreover, the movement speed of the Negación after entering the Garganta was faster than the speed of the Shunpo, making it impossible to track Baraggan and his group's location.
"Get out of the way!"
Ulquiorra's emotionless voice suddenly rang out. He raised the Reishi Lance in his right hand and hurled it out.
Zero reacted immediately upon hearing this, and with a Shunpo, he was far away from the entrance of the Garganta. He mostly preferred to use the Shunpo rather than the Sonído.
Rumble!
The immense energy raged across the heavens and earth, forcibly distorting space, and the sand kicked up by the explosion covered the ground like a tsunami.
The Adjuchas, still celebrating a little distance from the explosion, were blown away by the shockwave and buried by sand before they could even react...
"How terrifying, is it another attack from Lord Ulquiorra?"
"They escaped death! They escaped death! No wonder it's Vasto Lorde-class!"
"I've told you so many times, it's Arrancar, Arrancar."
"Ah, yes, yes, yes."
The Adjuchas re-emerged from the sand. The veteran members said this was normal, while the new members were terrified and couldn't understand this power.
However, Baraggan and his group continued to ascend, and Ulquiorra's attack only made the Garganta a little bigger.
"Even an attack of that power couldn't shatter the Negación? No wonder it's a spatial ability."
Zero was slightly surprised; the Garganta had been blasted into a slightly larger size, yet the Negación remained completely unchanged.
"It's no use. I carefully selected Lojia's Negación Threads, and I had plenty of time to prepare. Even if you break through this space, the Negación can still exist."
Szayelaporro explained his scientific findings with great pride, showing no sign of defeat; on the contrary, he became even more interested in zero.
Zero wholeheartedly agreed. This mere Adjuchas, specially modified, wasn't particularly strong, but its abilities were truly astonishing.
"Hehehe, brats, don't be so arrogant! I swear here and now that I will take back everything that belongs to me. You can all regret failing to kill me twice!"
Baraggan made a strong statement, declaring an all-out war with Zero and the Snow Leopard Group.
"No rush. Once I've figured out why you possess the power of the Hollow, I'll come after you. Just wait!"
Szayelaporro's gaze at Zero was somewhat strange; he saw the gateway to New World. As he finished speaking, they finally entered the Garganta and sped away through the Negación...
For the past ten days or so, the residents of Hueco Mundo have received news that the former King of Hueco Mundo is now a thing of the past.
Many forces that had once been protected by Baraggan were overthrown on the spot by other Menos Grande, and various emerging forces clashed constantly, Hueco Mundo into chaos.
Meanwhile, on the former site of Las Noches, the personal name 'Blood Panther' was abandoned, and the 'Arrancar Army,' which incorporated the wishes of many mid-level Menos Grande, began to be used.
After witnessing Ulquiorra's power, ambitious Adjuchas all dream of obtaining it.
Zero, catering to the undisguised desires of the Menos Grande, used the name 'Arrancar Army' to constantly tempt Menos Grande to stay and serve them.
The fact that the leader was Soul Reaper was deliberately suppressed, and instead it was changed to 'The leader, Lord Nangong, is also Arrancar, capable of reverting to his former form and increasing his power at any time.'
The previous stance referred to Zero's Hollowfication, but Zero's Bankai changed his appearance too much, similar to Ulquiorra's Resurrección, which easily convinced the newly joined Menos Grande.
Actually, none of that is the main point. The main point is that Zero is too strong, so strong that even if they have doubts, they won't even have the thought of resisting... In Hueco Mundo, it's normal for the weak to follow the strong...
"Ulquiorra, can you tell me about your past? I've always been curious about your ability to Natural Arrancar."
Zero summoned Ulquiorra alone and made a request that surprised Ulquiorra.
After the initial surprise, Ulquiorra fell silent for a long time before finally asking, "Why? Since we're already comrades, there's no need to know about our past, is there?"
Zero had long felt that Ulquiorra wasn't quite integrated into the group, so he decided to give him some pointers. "Do you have some misunderstanding about the word 'companion'? The meaning of companionship isn't just about facing difficulties together and living together; there are many other aspects that I can't explain to you."
"I noticed long ago that although you've been saving those weak Adjuchas, their subservience has kept you at a distance from them."
"While Grimmjow, he's still weaker than you. You yield to him because you don't want to lose this hard-won companion, plus your somewhat clumsy attempts at communicating with others..."
"If this continues, you won't be able to integrate with them."
Hearing Zero mention various minor issues he himself hadn't even noticed, Ulquiorra felt extremely doubtful: Really? Is it really as he described?
"Do me a favor, help me develop my influence in Hueco Mundo for a while, and when I have time later, I'll take you to Soul Society to see what true allies are, how about it?"
Zero stated his purpose directly, awaiting Ulquiorra's response.
