Death: Then stood in the sky.

With his perspective, he naturally knew that Hollows could also break the limits of individuals and races, just like the Grim Reapers, that is, Arrancarization.

They also know that the highest point of the void is Vastode.

But you should know that an Adjuchas-level Hollow is comparable to a captain-level fighter!

What about the Adjuchas-class Arrancars that broke the limits?

If such monsters are allowed to wreak havoc in reality, they can destroy a city in an instant!

Nothing else is needed; simply releasing the inherent pressure of its spiritual pressure is enough to turn the surrounding city into a dead zone, where humans simply cannot survive.

This is no joke!

Not to mention Vastod, who is said to be above the captain level!

"Well, the only question is, why did we come to the mortal world?" Nekori tapped her long, narrow fingernails on the table, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

He didn't think there was anything in this world worth such a pointless trip.

The reason is very simple.

Hollows are cruel and ruthless beings. Driven by instinct and the need for evolution, they will even devour each other, treating other Hollows as food.

Humans possess extremely low levels of spiritual power; only a very small number of humans are born with exceptionally strong spiritual power, enabling them to see death and the void.

Therefore, in the eyes of a stronger illusory being, humans are actually no different from a lump of West Lake Vinegar Fish with a hint of fragrance—edible, but not really necessary.

Based on this, a clear dividing line was born between Shinigami and Hollows.

In other words, Hollows of the Great Hollow level and above generally do not come to the human world because they cannot find valuable 'food' and would attract the attention of Shinigami, even Shinigami of the Captain level or above.

Occasionally, a few lower-level Hollows, Gillian, may appear, but this is because they are lost and brainless due to the hundreds or thousands of Hollows inside them expelling their brain matter, so they are not reliable indicators.

Those who actually come to the human world are basically small fry Hollows who are not even the lowest-ranking Hollows, Gillian. They are at the very bottom of Hueco Mundo's ecosystem and can only evolve by hunting humans.

There's no need to deploy captains or vice-captains-level Grim Reapers to deal with these small fry, not even commanders-level ones. The regular soldiers stationed in the real world are enough.

"So, is there something attracting him?"

At this point, Nekomamushi paused slightly, then placed his hands on the platform and moved closer to the screen like a pervert, his eyes fixed on the list of Shinigami stationed in Karakura Town that the team members had found.

Zennosuke Kurumatani, Rukia Kuchiki, and finally... Seiji Ukitake!

so it is.

Is this the guy stationed in Karakura Town?

Nekori's lips curled into a grin.

“Ajin.”

"Notify the captain in 5 minutes, no, 10 minutes."

Ajin's expression changed: "But Captain, even if we notify the Commander-in-Chief immediately and relay his orders, it will probably take more than 5 minutes for you to get to the real world. If we wait 10 minutes..."

Ajin wanted to say something, but after meeting Nekori's cold gaze, he fell silent.

Nekori withdrew her gaze and licked her lips in a sickly manner.

interesting.

This is getting more and more interesting.

A body that should have died long ago but has not.

And there's also the Bankai that he seems to have mastered.

This is truly...delicious research material!

Chapter 22 I am the strongest, stronger than anyone else.

hum!

The black passage continued to unfold, and a man over two meters tall, with an eye patch over his left eye and long hair parted in the middle, bent over and walked out.

In an instant, it was as if the sky over Karakura Town had collapsed.

The whole world seemed to be paused for a moment, and then one pedestrian after another began to fall.

Swish

Swish!

Two figures landed.

Rukia glanced at Masaki Kurosaki, then immediately focused her attention on the healing black cavity in the distance, which was the real point of focus now.

So the enemy actually... saw it!

Rukia looked at the other person, meeting their cruel gaze, and felt a surge of despair erupt from the deepest part of her soul.

My body...can't move?

Without saying a word or making any move, just because of a single glance, I made myself look so pathetic.

What kind of monster is this Hollow?!

"Tch, Death, a woman, no less." Noitra's eyes revealed a clear disgust, making no attempt to hide her prejudice against women.

It doesn't matter, this kind of trash can just be crushed.

A violent spiritual pressure suddenly descended.

Rukia stumbled and almost fell to her knees.

Her bones were creaking and groaning, and her soul was on the verge of collapse from the overwhelming pressure. Faced with this higher level of spiritual pressure, she was as weak as an ant.

Am I...am I going to die?

Her consciousness began to blur, and her mind became chaotic. Just when Rukia felt that she was about to lose consciousness completely, the heavy pressure that had been pressing down on her like the sky falling suddenly vanished.

Rukia opened her eyes and was shocked to find that it was Seiji who stood in front of her, taking the brunt of the other's pressure for her.

"call!"

Breathing became smooth instantly.

Rukia, covered in sweat, began to pant heavily.

I survived!

What... what is going on?

Rukia's eyes widened in horror: "Is it an illusion? But why does it have this appearance? And this spiritual pressure..."

“That’s an Arrancar.” Masaki Kurosaki said gravely, “A being who, according to legend, broke the boundary between Hollows and Shinigami, and gained power like a Shinigami!”

Arrancar? !

Rukia's face fell as she recalled the records she had read about the Arrancar.

It is said to be a monster that can rival or even surpass a captain-level Shinigami. Its skin has a terrifying property called 'steel skin', which is difficult for even Zanpakuto to penetrate. Its attack power is beyond the norm and it has extremely terrifying power!

"Hey, Nelieel, how long are you going to hide there?"

"Or are you saying that you've become so familiar with Death? Are you trying to hide behind Death and escape my sight?"

"Innocent!!!"

Noitra burst into maniacal laughter.

At this moment, Rukia noticed a trembling little girl behind Seiji. Her tiny hands were gripping Seiji's shihaka outfit so tightly they were practically attached to it, and her face was full of terror.

Rukia couldn't help but ask, "Who exactly are you...?"

Noitra: "Shut up!!!"

As Lucia stared in astonishment, Noitra roared furiously, "Who gave you the right to speak here, you wretched woman!"

Rukia: "?"

"Who gave you the right to...look me in the eye!" Feeling Lucia's gaze, Noitra reacted as if triggered, becoming even more frenzied: "Answer me!"

Rukia: "I..."

Noitra: "Shut up!!!"

Rukia: "???"

Noitra's eyes were bloodshot: "So all you damned women are like this, self-righteously humiliating others, wantonly tearing open other people's wounds, you all deserve to die!!!"

Rukia: "......"

She appeared silent, but in reality, she had run out of options, while Aoshi did.

Seiji: "Why don't you say that to someone else?"

Noitra was taken aback: "What?"

In Nnoitra's suddenly constricted pupils, a name came out of Seiji's mouth: "The 3rd Espada, Tia Heribel."

"If you really hate women as much as you say, shouldn't you say it to Helibel?"

“Even—kill her!”

Upon hearing this, Noitra's forehead veins bulged and his face twitched uncontrollably.

"Why don't you do it that way?" Aoshi asked, puzzled. "You seem to hate women, right? It's like you can't even stand a woman's gaze? And you can't accept a woman who is stronger or has a higher status than you."

Noitra: "That's enough!"

Aoshi: "In that case, you should not allow this kind of woman to exist."

Noitra: "Stop talking!"

Qing Si chased after him, demanding, "Or are you afraid?"

Noitra snapped, his face flushed red, his eyes practically spitting fire: "I told you to shut up!!!"

"I'll kill you!"

Absolutely!

A massive sickle wrapped in chains suddenly appeared in his hand, and Noitra launched a sudden attack.

"I won't let you succeed!"

Masaki Kurosaki took the initiative to go to her.

The two figures intertwined.

The sparks and shockwaves from the collision spread, and Masaki Kurosaki slid backward with her feet on the ground, but her eyes were full of solemnity.

What incredible power!

The Arrancar in front of her was not even in the same league as the Hollows she had destroyed before!

"You're looking down on me, woman, by getting distracted in battle!"

Noitra let out another grotesque laugh, teleported away from his original spot, and reappeared with the massive sickle already slashing down.

"So fast!"

Masaki Kurosaki's pupils contracted. She hadn't expected that in addition to her astonishing power, her opponent could also unleash such terrifying speed. This was a completely different form of performance from the Hollows she had previously destroyed.

"Successful!"

Nnoitra's eyes flashed fiercely.

Resonance is a movement technique unique to Arrancars, similar to the Instant Step mastered by Shinigami. It is a high-speed movement method, but unlike Shinigami, Resonance is a spatial teleportation. Its essence is to use the Arrancar's perception of space to distort space and teleport instantly by using spiritual pressure.

Although I am not very good at singing.

But this is enough to kill this trash right now!

The sickle fell heavily.

In the rush, Masaki Kurosaki only had time to construct the Spirit Longbow to parry.

A terrifying force erupted, and she was sent flying as if she had been hit by a train.

This isn't over yet.
