Mountain Flame

"Number 0, huh? No wonder Tsuna wanted to go himself. This spiritual pressure is really terrifying." Using Red Princess to restrain a subordinate who came to the rescue, Urahara Kisuke glanced at the now enormous Yammy.

"The ranking of the Espada is from 0 to..."

"You know, from 0 to 9, right?" Before Yammy could finish speaking, Tsuna lost patience with his boasting. "So you're the strongest one? How come, to me, your imposing presence is far less than Stark's?"

Yammy's eyes widened. "You're the Grim Bleach who fought Stark?"

Tsuna showed Yammy were Quincy abilities, so for a moment Yammy didn't really connect him with the Bleach who had defeated Stark.

If I had known it would be like this, Yammy should have used his Resurrección from the start, instead of engaging in some pointless probing.

"So what if it is?" Tsuna asked with a smile.

"Then let's establish my reputation as Number 0!"

Yammy delivered a powerful punch to Tsuna, believing that defeating Tsuna, who was capable of defeating Stark, was undoubtedly the easiest way to prove that he was stronger Stark.

Yammy was unwilling to actually fight Stark. Although he was powerful after his Resurrección, his Activation was far inferior to Stark's. If the battle dragged on, he would only be harassed to death by Stark's endless Cero.

Tsuna is different. Yammy could tell at a glance that Tsuna was even more clueless than him. From the beginning until now, Tsuna had never dodged his attacks, which meant that he was an even more idiotic guy than him.

Stark can't win, but he can!

Just as expected, Tsuna, that simpleton, didn't even try to dodge such a powerful punch. The fist was about to hit, and it was too late to use Flash Step at this point. For the first time, Yammy's angry face showed a hint of joy.

However, what Yammy couldn't see was that Tsuna, whose eyes were blocked by his own huge fist, had a six-pointed star pattern flashing, with the Ikkaku representing the mountain being completely lit up.

"The power bursting forth from that mountain-sized body? Unfortunately, I have that too."

Mountain Flame, Vollständig, Activate!

Countless fragments of stone appeared around Tsuna's body, enveloped in yellowish-brown flames. A metal mask appeared on the lower half of Tsuna's face, and the fragments of stone rapidly converged on the Visored.

A shovel-shaped, earthen-yellow horn, even larger than Tsuna's, appeared. This was a giant horn formed by the Mountain Flame, using the mask on Tsuna's face as its foundation, and containing immense explosive power.

This is the tenacious jawline of the mountain!

Yammy's fist collided with Tsuna's jaw, and it was the exact same scene again. Even though his body had grown to the size of a hill, Yammy's fist could not budge Tsuna at all.

"How is this possible?" Yammy's eyes were filled with shock. This Little Ichi ant had only grown slightly larger horns, yet he couldn't budge it an inch?

Yammy began to concentrate all his strength into his fist, but even so, Tsuna remained unmoved.

This was the power of the Mountain Flame. Yammy, as massive as a hill, couldn't possibly notice that Tsuna's feet were already covered in combat boots made of condensed rubble.

His feet seemed to be rooted to the earth; as long as Tsuna stood on the ground, a continuous stream of power would flow into his body through his feet, forever providing him with the spiritual pressure he needed to unleash his power.

Yammy began to switch arms and throw punches at Tsuna repeatedly, but his body was too big and Tsuna was too small for him, so no matter what he did, the first thing he had to get past was Tsuna's jaw.

He couldn't get past it. No matter how hard Yammy tried, he just couldn't get past that Little Ichi shovel-shaped corner. Gradually, he got a little carried away. Driven by anger, his power increased and his spiritual pressure condensed.

A series of Bala followed by a powerful punch!

Yammy charged at Tsuna, Tsuna, as if sensing this, continuously increased the explosive power of the Mountain Flame.

Damn it, how can this little ant be so powerful?

Yammy felt as if he were confronting a mountain, but he quickly dismissed it as an illusion. What a joke! This Hueco Mundo is full of sand; we've never seen hills here. Where would a mountain come from?

Perhaps because he couldn't break through Tsuna's jaw, Yammy's focus became somewhat scattered. He seemed to realize something, and then his eyes widened as he stared in disbelief at what was in front of him.

A shadow covered Yammy's massive body, and a huge mountain peak had appeared in front of him, larger than his own body.

Tsuna was fighting against him with his back against this mountain. Perhaps at first, if it were just Tsuna as an individual, Yammy would have had a chance to defeat him with his strength, but when faced with a mountain that was even taller than him, a sense of powerlessness arose from the bottom of his heart.

That's... a foul...

Yammy wanted to say that, but as the Espada No. 0, how could his pride allow him to admit that his opponent was stronger than him?

He needed more anger. Anger could convert the food stored in his body into spiritual pressure, making his Resurrección form even larger, and he would become even stronger.

The rage was still rising; as long as enough energy was stored, Yammy's power would grow without limit with the accumulation of anger.

The problem is that Yammy's energy is limited, and in addition to his current form, he also has a power form called Rage.

The enraged form requires Yammy to eat and sleep for a long time before the battle to accumulate sufficient energy in his body.

Yammy was completely unprepared for the big battle, and his body couldn't possibly accumulate enough energy. So he was just furious, and his power increase became a curve that gradually leveled off.

Like a car's oil light coming on, Yammy's body was almost out of fuel, and it wouldn't be long before he entered a state of impotent rage.

As Yammy's rival, Tsuna was the one who could best sense the changes in his power. When the enraged form he had imagined did not appear, Tsuna roughly guessed the principle behind Yammy's physical transformation.

"But a mere Arrancar like this isn't even qualified to face the Miracle," Tsuna thought to himself.

Bearing the name of the Miracle, that Quincy's combat power was truly limitless, far surpassing Yammy's false infinity.

Tsuna was already secretly planning to have Urahara Kisuke make some modifications to Yammy. Since Yammy could enhance his combat power by storing energy, was there a way to allow Yammy's body to continuously receive energy replenishment?

Unbeknownst to Yammy, just as he was about to erupt in a fit of impotent rage, his opponents had already seized upon him as a trophy and begun plotting his transformation.

Enraged, Yammy had little mental capacity left to think about anything else; he had only one thought: to utterly destroy this humiliating opponent.

With all fourteen of its thick thighs exerting force, Yammy managed to support its massive body and leap high into the air.

His idea was simple: if he couldn't kill Tsuna, he'd just crush Tsuna to death.

An unprecedented Cero light enveloped him, Yammy containing himself within a massive Bala. As he fell, it was as if a giant meteorite had fallen Las Noches.

Considering Yammy's thought process, Tsuna couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead. An attack of that magnitude, even if he defeated Yammy, would probably cost him a significant portion of Las Noches, right?

Yammy's brain doesn't seem to be working very well. Using an attack of this caliber, isn't he afraid of being hung up and whipped by Aizen afterwards?

There's no way around it; I have to deal with the mess I made myself. The Espada and Las Noches still have value, and we can't let Yammy waste them like this.

The mountain behind him crumbled rapidly, and all the Mountain Flame condensed towards Tsuna. The shovel-shaped horn forming under the mountain's jaw was growing wildly, and soon it reached the same size as the red meteorite Bala in the sky.

"This is an outrageous battle, Mr. Ashido. Let's take cover for now."

Even Urahara had to lift his hat to observe the battlefield above. Several half-dead Arrancar lay beside him. He had no interest in rescuing Arrancar, so he hurriedly gave Ashido a heads-up and rushed toward the palace directly in the center.

Ashido could only catch a fleeting glance at the two ridiculously large attacks in the sky before quickly following Urahara Kisuke's footsteps.

In Urahara's view, the central palace is undoubtedly the most important part. He believes that the current king of Hueco Mundo, Sosuke Aizen, would not use those two exaggerated powers to destroy Las Noches, at least not now.

Urahara Kisuke was able to use the momentum to dodge, while the other Arrancar lying on the ground could only pray that the power from above wouldn't fall on them.

From a distance, the two enormous shovel-shaped horns that Tsuna had formed looked like a pair of giant scissors, clamping down on the huge red sphere in mid-air.

This is the Omega Scissors formed by Tsuna concentrating the Mountain Flame all over his body.

Hiss!

It seemed to be less difficult than expected. The giant scissors cut through the spiritual pressure of the Bala's outer layer as easily as a hot knife through butter, and continued to merge with the space inside.

That makes sense. To envelop a mountain-sized Yammy in Bala would require terrifying spiritual pressure; how could Yammy, whose strength was waning, possibly have managed to do that?

All he did was cover his body with a thin layer of spiritual pressure, making him look as terrifying as a meteorite, but in reality, it was just bluffing, a pure paper tiger.

Yammy's attack was like a paper tiger, while Tsuna's was a real, massive pair of scissors formed from all the Mountain Flame. Its power and bite force instantly split Yammy's body in two.

Fortunately, Tsuna had some idea of Yammy's strength. After breaking through the outermost layer of spiritual pressure, Tsuna subconsciously adjusted the angle of the Omega Scissors.

Tsuna didn't really intend to kill Yammy, so he changed the location of the scissors attack from Yammy's abdomen to Yammy's back.

After that powerful slash, Resurrección's Yammy and tail were severed in two, and his Yammy, now with the tail still attached, rapidly shrank.

With just that one strike, Yammy quickly reverted from his Resurrección form back to his Arrancar form, and powerless, he plummeted from the sky.
