The condensed Reishi flames resembled a blade that pierced heaven and earth, ruthlessly dividing the battlefield.
Dark, profound shadows spread from afar, and immense, crushing Spiritual Pressure descended upon both Las Noches and the Hollow Kingdom forces.
The Reishi in the air stirred restlessly like boiling water, continuously erupting with crackling explosions.
Both sides tacitly ceased fighting and looked solemnly toward the direction from which the shadows were spreading.
"Looks like the situation is serious, Ulquiorra."
Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez flexed the arm Liltotto Lamperd had bitten, the tooth marks on it healing at a visible rate.
"The Wandenreich's main force has mobilized."
Ulquiorra said expressionlessly, "They are likely about to declare all-out war. The real war is about to begin. We should notify His Majesty and the others immediately."
"Tch, boring."
Grimmjow said disdainfully, "If you ask me, this is the perfect chance for a real fight. Who knows when we'll find this many powerful bastards again?"
"And don't forget, there are still others in the kingdom watching us like tigers!"
The moment his words fell, a vast swath of light suddenly gathered around the two of them. Countless particles of Reishi condensed into humanoid forms, slowly solidifying and taking on facial features.
"He's here." Grimmjow curled his lip, with no intention of speaking to him.
In his view, this guy's arrival meant the battle would be temporarily halted, which annoyed him greatly.
Azashiro Soya still wore a plain white Captain's Haori, an unadorned outfit that stood out sharply on the battlefield.
Especially to the four women across from him, whose vigilance immediately soared as they pushed their Quincy: Vollständig to the limit.
"Hirenkyaku, Quincy: Vollständig."
Azashiro Soya glanced at the four of them without showing the slightest hint of pain or discomfort.
Normally, the Quincy's Hirenkyaku was his natural nemesis.
