This time, he did not throw it.
Azure lightning gathered, compressed, and spun in his palm, finally forming a spear less than a foot long, made entirely of condensed lightning.
Countless tiny lightning runes flowed within the spear, radiating a heart-stopping aura of destruction.
Bai sensed the threat of death.
She wanted to flee, but losing her Tomoe Rinnegan had severely damaged her body, leaving her several times slower.
All she could do was frantically muster her remaining energy and form her strongest shield before her.
"Ōtsutsuki Secret Technique: Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack-Absolute Defense!"
Countless fist imprints overlapped in layer upon layer, forming an impenetrable wall.
This was the strongest defense recorded by Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, theoretically capable of blocking any attack.
But Ulquiorra's Lanza del Relámpago was in its second-stage release.
"Go."
He gave it a gentle push.
The Lanza del Relámpago flew out without a sound.
There was no sound, no play of light or shadow, only the warping of space.
Everything in the spear's path was annihilated-not destroyed, but erased from existence itself.
The instant the wall of fists touched the Lanza del Relámpago, it dissolved into nothingness.
Bai's absolute defense was pierced as easily as paper.
The Lanza del Relámpago pierced Bai's chest.
Bai froze.
She lowered her head and looked at the bowl-sized hole in her chest.
Its edges were smooth as a mirror. There was no blood, no viscera, only emptiness.
And the hole was expanding, spreading outward from her chest. Wherever it passed, her body turned into the most basic reishi dust and drifted into the air.
"What... is this..." Bai murmured.
"The second-stage release of Lanza del Relámpago adds the property of 'existence erasure.'"
Ulquiorra said, "Whatever it strikes is erased on every level of time, space, and causality. It cannot be repaired
