Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

Clusters of dazzling sparks burst forth, like wildflowers blooming in an endless desert, adding a unique touch to the desolate Hueco Mundo.

Naraku swung his blade, moved his arms, and his joints made a metallic scraping sound. As he dodged the Cero, he let the butt of Stark's gun slam into his shoulder.

"Ouch! It hurts!"

Surprisingly, it wasn't Naraku who cried out in pain, but rather Lilynette, whose body hardness had greatly increased after transforming into a dual-wielder.

"How come you even have Hollow steel skin? Are you a Shinigami or a Hollow?"

"Of course it's Death!"

Naraku Sora swung his sword down with a backhand motion, and the air crackled like silk being torn apart.

"but--"

"How can a mere Vasto Defiant be a match for my body, forged through countless trials?"

It was as if an invisible storm had swept by, crushing everything into ashes and dust.

The blade flashed and disappeared in an instant, leaving behind a deep ravine-like chasm in the ground beneath their feet.

Stark wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, gaining a clearer understanding of Naraku's strength once again.

Never engage in prolonged close combat with him!

Otherwise, he and Lilynette would be crushed mercilessly, just like the ground beneath their feet.

Even now, Stark still can't understand why the opponent's spiritual pressure wasn't strong, but the destructive power they displayed was terrifying and suffocating.

Even a special being like him in Hueco Mundo couldn't defeat him.

"Damn it, Stark! Since the infinite reload Cero isn't working on this guy, it means the Cero isn't powerful enough. We have to increase the power!"

The two guns in his hands made a muffled sound and trembled slightly.

Stark frowned: "But..."

"Oh, there's no 'but' about it. This time, I'll take the lead. You just need to provide the spiritual pressure."

Lilynette's tone became exceptionally arrogant, as if a miniature phantom could be seen standing there with its hands on its hips, staring fiercely ahead.

"I'd shoot that guy alive!"

Stark wanted to say something more, but the power from the twin pistols forced the muzzles to turn, and a dazzling azure light emerged, leaping wildly like arcs of electricity.

Although it's a bit crazy, it's not unacceptable to risk it once in a while when you finally encounter such a powerful opponent.

As for whether the other party would die, Stark figured it wouldn't be that simple.

A vast, ocean-like spiritual pressure condensed within, continuously compressing the high-density spiritual particles of Hueco Mundo, causing the surrounding air to crackle repeatedly.

Looking at the scene in the distance, Naraku Sora raised an eyebrow.

It seems to be completely different from the sound when it released the Cero earlier.

A torrent of dazzling blue light surged forth, condensing into a massive blue sphere at the muzzle of the gun. Twisted, jagged lines were scattered across the area, and the surrounding space even emitted a chilling creaking sound.

Just then, Stark's calm voice rang out: "A Cero released through blood is several times more powerful than the previous ones."

"But the scale will not decrease."

"So, try to survive, Death."

The moment the words fell, the desert trembled and shook, and the deep, dark night was replaced by an endless torrent of blue.

Like a raging storm unleashed on a vast ocean, everything in sight seemed to be groaning in agony under the unbearable weight.

Grimmjow was dumbfounded.

What was happening on the distant battlefield almost shattered his worldview.

As a Hollow, no one knows the limits of Cero better than him.

Such a Cero is something that even Barragan and Szayelaporro, who have already completed their Arrancar evolutions, could not accomplish, let alone him.

As for how Grimmjow found out, that's another story of blood and tears.

"Wang Xu's brilliance."

A familiar voice approached, and Grimmjow turned around to see Szayelaporro standing beside him, dressed in a white coat, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Cero, which can only be used after completing Arrancar evolution, is extremely powerful and can cause spatial distortion to a certain extent."

"Only Hollows who have completed their Arrancar evolution can unleash this, but not everyone can unleash a thousand shots in a row like that guy."

"In terms of spiritual pressure alone, I would call him the strongest!"

Because his research was nearing completion, he arrived a little later than Grimmjow, but fortunately he still made it in time for the grand opening.

Upon hearing this, Grimmjow lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

Broken face?

……

Naraku Sora was like a small boat facing a tsunami capable of destroying the world. The aftershocks of spiritual pressure ravaged the area, obliterating the souls of the animals on the edge of the battlefield.

A burst of light shot into the sky, illuminating the sphere with a brilliant blue sun.

However, there was not a trace of fear on his face, only his eyes, which grew even brighter, as he faced the surging, violent impact head-on.

Black and red torrents swirled around his body, white bones clung to it, black hair danced wildly, and a violent aura erupted in an instant.

Naraku Sora grinned, and wisps of white breath emerged from between his teeth, revealing a grotesque, demonic-looking skeletal mask.

The spiritual pressure immediately surged, increased wildly, and surged dramatically!

A dark spiritual pressure enveloped the blade, igniting a black flame within it.

He raised his sword and brought it down.

In an instant, the world lost its color.

The moment the sword pressure collided with the void flash, a massive shockwave exploded out like a torrent, and thousands of meters of smoke and dust rippled outwards and swept in all directions.

Grayish-white dust merged the desert and sky into one, and the raging wind howled incessantly, the deafening roar leaving only one sound in Hueco Mundo.

The blue sun was split in two, and the dark streak seemed to cut the sky in two, stretching all the way to the end of the line of sight until it disappeared into the distance.

Stark's face was filled with astonishment; he could hardly believe his eyes.

How can it be? !

That's a Cero Flash that uses blood as a medium, not a Cero that can be released casually!

It was actually cut in half...

Just as he was in shock, a violent spiritual pressure invaded his senses, and Stark was jolted awake, firing a Cero with his backhand.

Then they watched helplessly as the attack was easily crushed.

Gazing at that domineering figure, radiating an aura of tyranny and more ethereal than the void itself, Stark swallowed hard, his voice trembling slightly as he said:

"Is it possible to reconcile?"

Chapter 226 Your purity is too low

"At this very moment?"

Naraku looked down at Stark, grinning maliciously.

"Are you kidding me?"

Seemingly recalling something someone had said before, Stark gritted his teeth, strained his spiritual pressure, and attempted one last struggle.

Falling into the hands of death means certain death.

At worst, I can become a spirit particle again and merge back into the world of Hueco Mundo.

But Lilynette is different.

As a hybrid of Hollow and Shinigami, who knows what kind of miserable state such a lovely girl would become in his hands?

The thought that Lilynette might be turned into a weapon by some unscrupulous person gave Stark a surge of strength, to the point that his spiritual pressure was about to explode.

With his five fingers spread, he gripped the Azure Wolf Blade, made of spiritual particles, tightly in his hand.

With a roar, Stark launched a suicidal charge at the monster before him.

From the burning spiritual pressure of the Azure Wolf Blade, the radiance of another crescent moon suddenly rose, and under its glow, everything seemed to pause for a moment.

The dazzling slashes crisscrossed the air, then forcefully converged into a single beam, enveloping Naraku in their midst.

A hissing sound rang out.

The airflow parted to both sides along the blade's edge, striking the blade solidly against the dark spiritual pressure that enveloped it.

click-

A crisp cracking sound rang out, and to Stark's incredulous gaze, the Azure Wolf Blade, formed from the compression and condensation of countless spiritual particles, shattered.

As if it were some kind of signal, when a crack appeared, countless cracks instantly appeared, covering the entire blade.

Countless fragments of spiritual particles scattered and disappeared into the nearby ravines.

Stark made a last-ditch effort, but the ever-growing fist suddenly filled his entire field of vision.

Bang!

A dull, heavy blow erupts.

Then, his head pulled his neck, which in turn propelled his body, creating a visible shockwave that exploded behind him. Stark, trailing a magnificent tail of flames, sped across the night sky, directly smashing down the stone pillar at the edge of his vision.

Dust rose and sandstorms surged into the sky.

Naraku followed, rushing into the dust, and taking advantage of Stark's dazed state, snatched the weapon from his waist.

Lilynette.

"?"

Upon realizing that Lilynette had disappeared, Stark panicked.

Sure enough, this guy's goal from beginning to end was Lilynette; the so-called 100 billion ring spirit insect was just a pretext.

It's hard to say whether that thing is his or not.
