Greymmi: Your Majesty, Times Have Changed!

Several Sternritter stepped forward: Nianzol Weizol, whose Schrift was W, The Wind; Bazz-B, whose Schrift was H, The Heat; and Mask De Masculine, whose Schrift was S, The Superstar.

Their actions had Yhwach's tacit approval. Clearly, he did not want the Espada interfering in Greymmi and Lu Li's battle. They charged directly at Ulquiorra, intending to stop this dangerous Arrancar.

The Sternritter were not fools. Having already lost two powerful members, with Quilge Opie having his head effortlessly taken by Ulquiorra, they naturally would not insist on fighting one-on-one as they moved to stop Ulquiorra.

"How shameless. Ulquiorra, I'll help you!"

Nel said angrily when she saw this. Though she felt Ulquiorra could handle them alone, she also remembered Lu Li's warning that the Quincy possessed strange abilities and should not be underestimated.

Powerhouses from both sides stepped forward one after another, like a fuse being lit, and the great battle began in an instant.

Seeing Nel step forward, the Quincy deployed even more Sternritter. Powerhouses such as Robert Accutrone, whose Schrift was N; Cang Du; Berenice Gabrielli; and Jerome Guizbatt entered the fray one after another.

Robert and the others were considered strong even among the Sternritter. In the original story, he had even managed to blind Kyōraku in one eye, though that was under circumstances where Kyōraku could not use Bankai.

Lu Li's side refused to be outdone. Though they seemed fewer in number, aside from the new Espada, the Vasto Lorde-class Arrancar were all top-tier fighters. Each of them could easily take on two Sternritter.

Stark alone took on four Sternritter. Even in his first-stage Resurrección, his overwhelming firepower not only kept those four Sternritter from lifting their heads, but also swept through large numbers of ordinary Quincy soldiers.
