Arturo·Platido
A name buried by the years, Vasto Lorde who crossed the limit of virtuality and completed himself Arrancar in ancient times.
With his cold, deep, and seemingly endless terror Reiatsu enveloped the entire Seireitei
Then, the sky split.
At first it was just a dull tearing sound, like a huge rag being suddenly torn apart by some invisible force.
Immediately after, there are one, two, ten, one hundred...
Hundreds of dark cracks tore open simultaneously without warning in the originally clear clouds above Seireitei!
Garganta.
The door to Hueco Mundo was opened in an extremely arrogant and violent manner over Seireitei, which symbolizes the center of Soul Society.
The first thing that sounded was the shrill, tooth-aching screams coming from the depths of the deep cracks.
The sound was layered and intricate, carrying extreme greed and hatred for the flesh and blood of the living. It was overwhelmingly suppressed from all directions, as if the entire sky was bleeding and screaming.
Then, a huge shadow blocked the sunset.
Gillian has arrived.
Bodies as huge as mountains, clad in tattered black robes, slowly squeezed out from those huge Gargantas. They wore pale and iconic long-nosed masks, and their movements were excruciatingly slow, but the huge bodies with hundreds of them descending at the same time carried a despairing, unstoppable and terrifying weight. One head, ten heads, a hundred heads... covering the sky and the sun.
And under the feet of these giant beasts, endless low-level voids are like black tides bursting from the embankments, pouring down crazily from the cracks. With their greedy the Roar, they smash on the delicate roof ridges, on the wide streets, and in the quiet courtyards, roaring and running in all directions as soon as they hit the ground.
This is an all-devouring
Xu Hai...
Noble mansions everywhere.
"Vasto Lorde... It's actually Vasto Lorde..."
The face of an old Upper Nobility family owner was ashen, and he smashed the mahogany seat guard beside him with a sudden palm. His withered fingers trembled violently because of anger. "Arrogant! You are so weak, but you dare to blatantly gather an army to attack Seireitei!!!"
"Notify all clan members! Unlock the restrictions immediately and fight!" Some Upper Nobilitys with profound knowledge and a lot of Seated Officer-level combat power in their clan obviously couldn't swallow this bad breath.
The pride of the nobles made them unable to tolerate the wreaking havoc in their own territory, so they pulled out Zanpakutō and rushed out of the courtyard.
Of course, for those Lower Nobilitys who are weak and dependent on others, this is simply the end of the world.
They could only activate the mansion's defense Kidō array as much as possible and hide in the cellar or secret room shivering, praying that Gotei 13's rescue would come earlier than the virtual claws.
"Meet the enemy!!!"
Seireitei In the streets and alleys everywhere, outstanding Seated Officers showed extremely high tactical literacy. They quickly pulled out their Zanpakutōs from the arsenal and roared first into the black void sea.
The ordinary Seated Officer and the slightly experienced Squad Member followed closely behind. The clang of the sword being unsheathed and the roar of the void instantly intertwined into a meat grinder of flesh and blood flying everywhere.
"Gillian group! A large-scale Gillian group appeared in the northwest!"
"Inform the captain quickly! Where is Twelfth Division? Is the Lingbo Measurement Network blind?!"
Urgent orders with the smell of blood were transmitted crazily under the crumbling sky and on the streets filled with flames through the urgent communication of Onmitsukidō and Inner Court Corps.
However, not everyone can remain rational in a scene like Hell.
Those recruits with short service years are extremely lacking in actual combat experience.
At this moment, facing the real Hollow Disaster recorded in the textbooks, with the Arturo hanging over their heads, the Vasto Lorde Reiatsu that is almost crushing their souls... Those who are a little timid, or whose will is not strong enough, can't even hold the knife in their hands steadily.
"Then, what kind of monster is that..."
A young Soul Reaper, who had just joined the team less than half a year ago, looked up blankly at the group of Gillians that were blocking the sky and the low-level voids falling like raindrops. His legs softened and he fell to the ground full of rubble with a plop. Zanpakutō came out and made a desperate crunching sound on the bluestone.
"Get up! Get up!!!"
Seated Officer, an old senior next to him, grabbed him by the back collar, lifted him up forcibly, and spat spit on the young man's face. "You are Soul Reaper! Even if you die, you will die on the way to the charge. You are not here to lie on the ground and wait for you to be chewed to pieces!"
But the recruit's face was ashen, his lips were trembling violently, and he couldn't even say a complete "yes".
Such collapse and roar were staged simultaneously in every corner of Seireitei.
Zhu Sibo Villa, courtyard.
Boom!!!
A blinding purple thunder light, like a dragon tearing through the night, suddenly exploded in the withered courtyard!
Zhu Sibo Zhengyuan didn't test it at all, and it was a fatal move as soon as it was struck.
However, the lightning that was enough to instantly chop a Gillian into coke suddenly stopped in front of Arturo.
Arturo just stretched out a pale hand casually.
That bloodless hand didn't even release any defensive Reiatsu, but just directly and with bare hands grabbed the blade of Zhu Sibo Zhengyuan's serrated sword covered in violent thunderstorms!
"..."
The lightning raged wildly in Arturo's palm, and the purple electric snake swam along his arm, making a harsh explosion. However, Arturo's whole body did not move at all. Only the corner of his white clothes was slightly lifted due to the huge wind pressure generated by the collision of the two Reiatsu.
After a stalemate for just a few seconds, Zhu Sibo Zhengyuan's intuition made him give up the suppression decisively. He drew his knife and used his strength. His body turned into an afterimage. Shunpo backed away a few meters and widened the distance.
Arturo slowly put down his hand, his pale green eyes did not look at the shallow scorch mark on his palm, but calmly fell on Zhengyuan's face, who was waiting in the distance.
"Then... let's start with you."
Arturo calmly stretched his hand to his waist and slowly pulled out his knife.
There is no way out.
Zhu Sibo Zhengyuan took a deep breath and poured all the Reiatsu in his body into the blade without any reservation. The purple lightning suddenly surged and turned into a thunder pillar that reached the sky. Once again, with a decisive momentum, it slashed down!
First Division.
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto Standing on the high corridor, his turbid and sharp gaze penetrated the collapsed roof ridges and fell towards the center of the collision between lightning and virtual pressure.
"This Reiatsu... is the source of the disaster hidden within the Zhu Sibo clan..."
