I, Yhwach, join the chat group

Ulquiorra grabbed his head with one hand and pressed it hard into the desert.

"You can't get away. Lord Aizen's orders are absolute!"

After saying this silently, Ulquiorra stretched out a finger and touched Nnoitra's cheek.

"Wang Xu's... huh?"

In the critical moment, Nnoitra's reaction was also extremely quick. He kicked Ulquiorra in the chest and pushed him away. At the same time, he swung out the huge sickle in his right hand.

"Let's work together and kill him within a minute! Pray, Holy Weeping Mantis!"

boom!

The spiritual pressure surged, and Nnoitra's form changed. He looked like a four-armed Ashura, with a huge sickle on each arm.

"Even though an Arrancar can't evolve further by devouring its own kind, I've never eaten a Vasthold Arrancar!"

The seventieth blade, Zomali, drew his blade in one swoop, "Calm down, Curse-Eye Sangha!"

Seeing that he had also liberated Guiren, Sar Apollo had no choice but to join the battle: "Let it be known for a moment, his body belongs to me! Sip, my wicked concubine!"

"No, I should be the one to devour him!"

The ninetieth blade, Aronillo, sneered, "Devour everything, Devour the Void!"

The four people were liberated one after another. In an instant, this space was distorted by such a huge spiritual pressure, as if it could not bear it and was about to break.

Not far away, A1-class Arrancar Carmen hid far away, shaking her head as she watched the scene. "The Espada's death battle is indeed much stronger than ours. Even the space of Hueco Mundo has been distorted."

"Lord Carmen, you're joking." The jelly-like Arrancar on his shoulder sneered, "Once you're free, it won't be a problem to take out one or two of them!"

Carmen was obviously in no mood to pay attention to this. He stood a few hundred meters away and watched the confrontation between the two sides calmly.

"However, it would be difficult for even Vastold to win against four alone," he thought secretly.

Seeing the four people liberated, Ulquiorra immediately flew high into the sky.

"What? You want to run?" Nnoitra sneered, "It's too late. Since you came here on your own, don't even think about running away!"

As he said that, he leaped and rushed towards Ulquiorra.

"Foolish people."

Ulquiorra's eyes were cold and emotionless as he spoke, "The reason I kept my distance was just to give you time to prepare. Since you're determined to resist to the death, I'll let you see what true despair is and what despair should look like!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his spiritual pressure, which had already reached its peak, increased again.

The black spiritual rain, which was originally like a rainstorm, was now even more sticky like a swamp.

"What!?" Aaronilo asked in shock, "Your strength can continue to increase?"

"Second Stage Return to Blade!"

……

Xuye Palace, deep in the palace.

The phantom Aizen sat upright on the throne. At this moment, he heard footsteps and slowly opened his eyes.

"Tia?"

Harribel walked to the throne, knelt on one knee, and said, "Yes, Lord Aizen."

"What's the matter?"

"We've captured all the Hollows for this week. However, there's a problem. There's..."

Before she could report, Aizen spoke first: "Nnoitra and the others escaped, right?"

"Yes, judging by the spiritual pressure coming from the south of Kyūya Palace, Ulquiorra is currently in pursuit."

Harribel said solemnly, "Lord Aizen, do you require me to go?"

"Well... With Ulquiorra's strength, one on two is no problem, but one on four, I'm afraid he will be no match for him."

The phantom Aizen touched the Hougyoku on his chest and immediately stood up with a smile, "Just in time, the first stage of fusion has been completed, Tia, come with me."

"Yes, Aizen-sama!"

Harribel immediately stood up and prepared to follow Aizen.

However, as soon as she looked at Aizen, she was slightly stunned.

The Zanpakuto in Aizen's hand was gradually disappearing like a burning piece of paper.

"This... Lord Aizen?"

"Surprised?"

Aizen's phantom spoke calmly, watching his Zanpakutō disappear from his hand. "Nothing surprising. It's just that the Hogyoku has determined that my power no longer requires a blade. Let's go, Tia."

As he said this, he took the lead and walked out of the palace.

Harribel, who was following behind him, was extremely shocked.

Compared to the Aizen of the past few days, the current Aizen is simply "nothingness".

Although I was following behind him, I couldn't sense any spiritual pressure. Even his aura as a god of death had disappeared.

If she closed her eyes, she wouldn't even be able to sense the presence of someone at such a close distance.

"Lord Aizen... has entered a new realm!"

She thought to herself, "It's not a Death God, nor a Hollow, but a higher level soul being that transcends both!"

Chapter 118 Who gave you your ability?

[First update~ Regarding Thunder Lance, Baidu Encyclopedia doesn't explicitly state it's a second-stage Reincarnation skill, so I'm just writing it as a general skill. Alternatively, you can think of it as something that, after Ulquiorra is empowered by the protagonist, can also be used in the first-stage Reincarnation.]

……

"Second stage return blade!?"

Sar Apollo's face was shaken. He looked up at the sky and saw Ulquiorra changing his posture. He was extremely shocked.

Compared with the previous Return to Blade form, Ulquiorra's upper body clothes disappeared at this moment, black liquid flowed from his eyes, the lower half of the tear marks were divided into two lines, and the whites of his eyes turned green.

Its abdomen, legs, arms and back are covered in black feathers. The lower part of the robe splits into two at the back, and its wings are fully spread, revealing bat-like claws.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the long and slender tail and the black pattern flowing out of the hollow hole in the chest.

"Even Lord Aizen has never seen this form before. It's similar to the Shinigami's Bankai, the second stage of the sword's release."

Ulquiorra looked indifferent as he looked at Nnoitra who was rushing towards him and slowly extended a finger.

"Black Void Flash!"

The dark spiritual pressure gathered at the fingertips, like a cross star, rapidly expanding, and finally turned into an impact, suddenly hitting out.

The filling speed of this virtual flash is extremely fast, more than half the preparation time of ordinary virtual flashes. Not only that, its range and power are several times greater than "Wang Xu's Flash"!

"What the hell is Second Stage Return Blade? I'm the strongest!"

The Black Hollow Flash was reflected in Nnoitra's pupils. He jumped and rushed towards Ulquiorra, but was locked in and had no time to dodge.

With a loud roar, he swung the huge sickle and slashed at the black flash that was coming towards him.

However, his attack, when it hit the black flash, seemed to fall into a quagmire and it was impossible to cut through the black flash.

Its enormous energy turned into a torrent and swallowed it up in an instant.

boom!

The torrent of dark spiritual power knocked it down at once and slammed it into the ground. There was a huge explosion, and a huge deep pit with a diameter of one hundred meters was created in the entire sand.

After taking this blow head-on, the crescent horn on Nnoitra's head turned to ashes, and the eyepatch on his left eye disappeared, revealing an empty eye.

His entire body was covered in wounds, his breathing became disordered, and his body was trembling slightly.

"asshole!"

His eyes were gloomy as he half-knelt in the deep pit. He spat out the blood in his mouth with a "Puh" sound, "Super-speed regeneration!"

Golden spiritual pressure enveloped his body, and the next moment, all the injuries on his body recovered rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"You're so useless, Nnoitra."

The 7th Espada, Zomali, taunted, "With your slow speed, you can't even get close to him. As expected, I'll be the fastest of the Espada to deal with him!"

Ring!

The moment he finished speaking, Zomali's figure disappeared from the spot.

"The afterimage of the double resounding rotation?"

Ulquiorra glanced at him, turned around and slapped him with his claws.

砰O

As soon as Zomali appeared, he saw a claw coming towards him. His expression changed slightly, "You can actually keep up with my speed!"

He attacked from behind and bypassed the blind spot, but was still discovered by Ulquiorra. It can only be said that the other party's detection nerves are extremely excellent.

"Hmph, no matter how fast your reaction is, it's useless in front of my ability!"

Zomali snorted coldly, and as he retreated, the two eyes in front of his chest suddenly opened, emitting a purple light.

Boom!

The next moment, Ulquiorra discovered that a black sun pattern appeared on his right arm.

"I've already controlled your arm!" Zomali sneered, "Now's the time to strike!"

Hearing this, Sal Apollo and Aaroniero attacked together, both of them simultaneously shot out a hollow flash, aiming at Ulquiorra in mid-air.

"Wang Xu's flash!"

Seeing this, Ulquiorra's expression remained normal, his right arm reaching towards his neck as if trying to strangle himself.

And at this critical moment, suddenly, a figure flashed in front of Ulquiorra.

That was the phantom god Aizen!

"Lord Aizen..." Ulquiorra's eyes widened.

Before he could finish his words, two flashes of light from the Hollow Kings hit Aizen.

No, to be precise, it was not a hit, but when it was ten centimeters away from Aizen, a twisted force deflected the two flashes.
