Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

It turns out that the Arrancar Hollows have broken the soul boundary between Shinigami and Hollows!

Isn't this exactly what he's been researching all along?!

"Kong, we absolutely cannot let this guy get away!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Aizen charged toward Arturo first.

"?"

Chapter 103 How can you conduct research if you're not ruthless?

Naraku Sora was dumbfounded as he watched Aizen charge forward against the spiritual pressure.

Not a buddy?

You've always been so refined and easygoing, how come you've suddenly become like me?

This isn't right.

This is the world of death; losing style points is fatal!

Under the onslaught of spiritual pressure, the spiritual particles within the field of vision distorted, the air trembled violently, and Arturo transformed, resembling a king descending upon Hueco Mundo.

He had assumed that once he had completed the liberation of the swords, the two little devils of death would at least show signs of fear, even if they didn't run away.

But reality gave him another resounding slap in the face.

The seemingly gentle Death God boy was the first to rush towards him. Although his expression did not change, the fanaticism in his eyes was undisguised.

It's like a hungry person seeing delicious food.

That's an exaggeration.

But when Arturo saw the extremely slow Instant Step and the utterly ineffective slash, undisguised arrogance shone in his eyes.

I didn't mind you fighting like that before I released my blade, but now that I've risked the side effect of soul damage to complete the sword release, you're still fighting like this.

Isn't that a bit disrespectful?

Arturo raised the spine-like blade in his hand and slashed forward without warning, landing precisely where Aizen had appeared.

The clash of metal produced a deafening impact.

The silvery-white sand sea suddenly split open, the huge crack resembling the mouth of an abyss, threatening to swallow up all the surrounding white sand.

His exaggerated performance left even Naraku speechless.

In his understanding, the Resurrection Zanpakuto of Hollows and the Bankai of Shinigami are somewhat similar in form, but in reality they are worlds apart.

The prerequisite for Resurrection is to seal the Hollow's core into the shape of a blade, which is essentially a return of the Hollow's own ability.

However, in terms of combat performance before and after the Resurrection of the Blade.

One is in the heavens, the other on the earth; they're not even in the same dimension.

If Naraku Ku could have fought Arturo head-on with his extremely high growth potential, Hollowfication, and Shikai just now...

Now, facing them again would be a bit of a stretch.

He alone is simply not enough to fight against Arturo after his Resurrection.

Fortunately, Aizen stepped in first.

boom--

"what?!"

The impact and collision sent Arturo flying backward, who stabbed his blade into the ground with his backhand, bringing him to a stop in place.

The arrogance on his face vanished, replaced by incredulous astonishment.

What level is this spiritual pressure?

Third class or second class?!

What's going on with these two guys?

One has weak spiritual pressure but ridiculously high attack power, while the other has average attack power but exaggeratedly strong spiritual pressure.

Could it be that, two thousand years later, even the Grim Reaper is still so abnormal?

Suppressing his inner surprise and doubt, Arturo slowly stood up, his crimson wings unfurling behind him, causing the air to vibrate and roar.

Sound!

A deep burn mark was left on the sand.

Swift as lightning.

In an instant, it covered a distance of hundreds of meters, and countless spiritual particles gathered on the blade, making the already heavy blade look even wider, like a door pillar.

It crashed down.

A long sword imbued with spiritual pressure appeared without warning in front of Naraku Sora.

"?"

If Aizen beats you up, why don't you hit him and hit me instead?

Before I could think too much, the long blade on my spine came crashing down.

In that instant, Naraku Sora felt the booming sound of the spiritual pressure bursting forth.

It was as if the sky and the earth were roaring.

The immense power surged forth like a tidal wave, and even with the Zanpakuto to deflect and neutralize the force, it was still difficult to contend with it.

He was sent flying backwards in an instant, like a soccer ball hit by a powerful shot, spinning in the sky before crashing down and creating a huge, deep crater.

And this is just the beginning.

As if he had identified Naraku Sora, Arturo immediately flew into the air, raised his right hand, and spread his five fingers.

Countless spiritual particles gathered upon it.

Phantom flash.

Violent beams of light rained down relentlessly, crashing wildly against the sand below.

One deep crater after another was blasted out, resembling the surface of the moon.

Such an offensive left no chance for a counterattack, forcing Naraku to repeatedly use his Instant Step to dodge.

The slightest mistake will result in being hit by a feint.

It's only because he's thick-skinned and can withstand it. If it were any other Shinigami, a single Cero would be enough to blow them up on the spot, turning them into a cloud of blood mist.

Countless jagged ravines emerged from the deep pit, and the slightly raised sand dunes collapsed cleanly and neatly under the powerful impact of the endless Cero, changing the terrain.

Even the best defenses can fail. A single mistake with Shunpo led to Naraku being hit head-on by a Cero. He was as if he had been hit by a cannonball and immediately fell into the sea of ​​sand, where countless white sands instantly buried him.

"Damn it, Gan!"

Aside from Senjumaru and Yamamoto, this was the first time he had been beaten so badly.

Beneath the silver sand, a jet-black spiritual pressure erupted, shattering the upper sand sea. A battered body burst forth from within, continuously recovering amidst the raging hurricane.

The scorched skin healed instantly, and in the blink of an eye, Naraku was once again completely healed and launched a full-scale counterattack against Arturo.

Arturo has indeed become much stronger after his resurrection, but that doesn't mean he's incapable of fighting.

With the combined buffs of Hollowfication and Initial Release, it's still possible to make a run at it.

With a single slash, he cleaved the incoming Cero in two, the light splitting to both sides and sending up a cloud of dust.

Naraku Sora bent his legs slightly, gathering all his strength. With a deafening roar, he was lifted into the sky by the recoil.

Head straight to Arturo.

The Emperor of Punishment raised his sword high, and brilliant golden arcs of electricity coiled around its blade. The dazzling light dispelled the darkness of Hueco Mundo and even suppressed the only moonlight for a moment.

Arturo's gaze sharpened slightly, and he was about to raise his sword to defend himself when Aizen's spiritual pressure suddenly appeared behind him.

"Binding Path No. 63: Locks and Bindings".

"Hado No. 63: Thunder Roar Cannon".

"Hado No. 73: Twin Lotus Blue Flame Fall".

There was no time to defend against Naraku's attack; next up was the Kido Master—

Aizen Sousuke.

The golden chains, like pythons, snaked and shot out, locking onto Arturo's figure and soaring into the sky.

In just a moment of carelessness, he found himself in a situation where he was attacked from both sides.

Arturo instinctively focused more of his attention on the ghost path behind him.

In his understanding, weak spiritual pressure meant that the attack power couldn't be very strong either, and even if there were exceptions, there would still be an upper limit.

In contrast, those with strong spiritual pressure are different. Even a broken incantation of a Kido can unleash unimaginable power.

The moment the chains wrapped around him, Arturo countered by pushing his spiritual pressure defense to its limit.

Layer upon layer of spiritual pressure stacked up to form a shield, attempting to block Naraku's slashes in this way.

The blade in his hand slashed down towards the demon path.

The clanging of metal on metal erupted, and countless sparks flew. The chains, with only a third of their power, were utterly powerless against Arturo's slash.

But it was only a momentary delay, and the other two breakthroughs arrived as scheduled.

The fusion of the Thunder Roar Cannon and the Twin Lotus Azure Fire Pendant erupted, creating a dazzling wave beneath the crescent moon that instantly painted the sky.

It was a grand spectacle, like a stunning fireworks show.

Before the aftershocks could subside, a hideous smile, like that of a demon, suddenly appeared in Arturo's perception.

The long sword in Naraku's hand crackled with electricity, emitting a sharp sound like a bird's cry that sent chills down one's spine and made one's teeth ache.

It was as if he was not holding a Zanpakuto, but rather a descending bolt of lightning.

He had previously considered combining the Secret Technique: Dragon Flash with the Ghost Path to achieve a technological update to the Ghost Sword Technique.

But after several attempts, it didn't work.
