"They've arrived." Shinji looked up at the sky.
There were three Reiatsu.
They appeared directly above the Aragai District of Karakura Town.
Clearly..
They were coming for Urahara Kisuke.
"What should we do, Captain Shinji?" Matsumoto Rangiku jumped down from Shinji's back and asked.
"This is truly reckless," Shinji scratched his head and sighed "After all, I am the Captain of the Tenth Division, and since something like this has happened, I can't just ignore it.."
These Arrancar would definitely not dare to cause extensive damage.
They would only cause minor damage to the Aragai District, or perhaps act like a radar, searching the entire area.
If Aizen could flatten Karakura Town, he would have already ordered the Arrancar to demolish it and force Urahara Kisuke to appear.
This is unrealistic.
The Human World is protected by the Soul Society.
If severe destruction were caused in Karakura Town, or if multiple Arrancar appeared..
Then immediately, several unknown beings called Captains would appear in Karakura Town.
This is not what Aizen wanted to see.
However..
Even minor destruction would lead to the direct deaths of many humans.
Their souls simply couldn't withstand the overflowing spiritual pressure of the Arrancar.
Thinking of this, Shinji couldn't help but sigh again "Why don't they just stay in Hueco Mundo? Why do they have to come to the Human World?"
-Above the Aragai District.
Several Arrancar battle attire stood in the air.
"So this is the Human World, compared to Hueco Mundo, it's really completely different." An Arrancar with an orange afro, a star-shaped marking on his forehead, a goggle-like Hollow mask, a beard on his chin, and a strong physique, exclaimed.
His name was Gantenbainne Mosqueda.
He was Arrancar No. 107.
"Tch, uncultured boor." A slightly disdainful and contemptuous voice came.
It was a female Arrancar with purple tear-shaped marks on her face.
Her mask was worn like a hair ornament on the left side of her head, she wore fingerless long gloves, her short skirt had two fin-like appendages on the back, and she wore boots with straps.
Cirucci Sanderwicci
She was Arrancar No. 105.
At the same time, she was also the most petite member among all the Arrancar.
"Speaking of boorish, you, a prostitute, don't seem to be much better, do you?" A malicious personal insult slowly sounded.
Szayelaporro looked at Cirucci, whose expression suddenly changed, and continued to taunt "Your power has declined so much that you've dropped out of the Espada ranks, are you perhaps thinking of drawing your sword against me?"
The members of the Espada are not static.
In the Arrancar Legion, only the ten strongest individuals can have an Espada number and become one of the top ten Arrancar.
Therefore..
Naturally, there would also be Arrancars who fall out of the Espada ranks.
And Cirucci Sanderwicci was excluded from the Espada numbering because her power gradually couldn't keep up with the later evolved Arrancar.
Her number, 105, was actually just a 10 added in front of 5.
She was once the 5th espada!
Even Gantenbainne Mosqueda was once the 7th Espada!
"You bastard.." She gritted her teeth, took a few deep breaths, and chose to ignore him.
Cirucci Sanderwicci and Szayelaporro's relationship had never been friendly.
And Szayelaporro always used the term 'prostitute' to humiliate her.
Szayelaporro always took pleasure in such humiliating acts.
"Since you don't have the guts to draw your sword against me, then don't make such an expression as if you want to attack me, otherwise I might misunderstand."
After pushing up his glasses, Szayelaporro elegantly smoothed his pink hair "This mission was specifically assigned by Lord Aizen, so if you get in the way, don't blame me for killing you."
His chilling words were spoken in a gentle tone.
Szayelaporro glanced at them out of the corner of his eye, ignoring their livid expressions, and looked down at the city below.
To find the man named Urahara Kisuke..
This time, he, the 8th Espada, was dispatched.
Along with the former 5th espada and former 7th Espada.
This was enough to show how much Lord Aizen valued this man named Urahara Kisuke.
If they messed things up..
They might truly die.
"So, where should we start?" Looking at the city below, Szayelaporro tilted his head slightly.
A city is very large.
Although they had received intelligence from Lord Aizen, it only narrowed down Urahara Kisuke's location to a specific area.
Coupled with the Barrier that concealed spiritual pressure..
It would be absolutely impossible to find Urahara Kisuke without causing any commotion.
"Then, let me present a welcoming gift first." Szayelaporro's lips curved upwards, and he pointed his raised fingertip at the hundred-meter-tall building directly below.
A crimson light gathered at his fingertip.
The terrifying high pressure instantly caused the air to distort, forming a spherical, reddish-orange energy mass in the blink of an eye.
That was a Cero!
"I advise you not to do that, or I will be very troubled."
At this moment.
A slightly helpless and decadent voice echoed from above.
Szayelaporro and the others looked up, their pupils slightly contracting.
"That white haori coat, is that a Captain of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads?"
Gantenbainne's eyes were full of apprehension as he quickly said.
"Karakura Town actually has a Captain stationed here.." Cirucci Sanderwicci frowned, her eyes deeply gazing at the Shinigami in the sky, carrying a hint of hostility.
"Hoh, so it's the Captain of the 10th Division, Kuchiki Shinji." Szayelaporro's eyes lit up slightly.
"You know him?" Cirucci asked in a deep voice.
"A prostitute should quietly shut her mouth, don't be so talkative."
Glancing at the darkened face of Cirucci, Szayelaporro bowed slightly with great elegance "Long time no see, Captain of the 10th Division, Kuchiki Shinji."
"Since our last parting, I wonder if you've thought about me?" After speaking, his eyes held a smile as he awaited Shinji's reply.
Although the clone's body was taken away by Shinji.
However, Szayelaporro was not entirely without a way to know what had happened.
By extracting the residual 'his' blood from the ground, Szayelaporro restored a small portion of memories and obtained some data.
Then.
He also knew that the one who killed 'him' came from the Soul Society, and was the Captain of the 10th Division among the Thirteen Court Guard Squads, Kuchiki Shinji.
"It's you again."
"I personally don't want to fight."
"So leave this city."
"I'll pretend I didn't see you all, how about it?"
Upon hearing this.
Szayelaporro's lips suddenly curled into a grin "Well, what can we do, we have a mission that must be completed this time in the Human World."
The next second.
Amidst Szayelaporro's malicious smile, a crimson Cero flashed and disappeared, flying directly towards Shinji.
But the next instant.
Szayelaporro's expression changed slightly.
In his line of sight.
The Cero that flew out returned from Shinji's direction at an even faster speed.
"This technique is.." He widened his eyes.
The next second.
The Cero exploded in the air, creating a huge cloud, and the violent shockwave directly pulverized the clouds within several kilometers.
The glass of the surrounding buildings instantly shattered.
In the crimson light, it turned into dregs and fell to the ground.
In the gradually dissipating smoke.
Three afterimages shot out from within.
Szayelaporro looked forward, his pupils suddenly shrinking drastically "That woman.. that form.."
Nelliel, dressed in combat attire, stood in front of Shinji, her golden-green eyes coldly staring at these Arrancar, as if she would attack at any moment.
There's no mistake, the original 3rd Espada of the Arrancar Legion, Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck, has returned to her Vasto Lorde form!
"How is that possible? Her mask was already shattered, most of her spiritual pressure was lost, and she was hit by the medicine I specifically researched for you."
"Even if you could recover to Vasto Lorde it absolutely shouldn't be this fast."
"Nelliel, you.." Szayelaporro's eyes were filled with apprehension.
Also.
Why would Nelliel help this Shinigami?
"Szayelaporro, I am no longer a member of the Espada."
Interrupting Szayelaporro's words, Nelliel walked towards him step by step "I am the Lieutenant of the Captain of the 10th Division, Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck."
With a bang!
A white wave of air burst from beneath Nelliel's feet.
She disappeared from her original spot, and in Szayelaporro's disbelieving gaze, she directly grabbed his head and flew through the high sky at a speed countless times faster than the speed of sound.
A huge sonic boom echoed in the sky.
Her body even ignited with flames due to friction with the air.
"Nelliel, you bastard.." Szayelaporro's hands pried at Nelliel's wrists.
However, his strength was completely suppressed.
Nelliel, a Vasto Lorde Arrancar, possessed strength far exceeding an Adjuchas-class Arrancar by countless times!
Moreover.
Nelliel was currently breaking through the Vasto Lorde-class evolving towards a dimension beyond the Vasto Lorde!
"If I let you cause trouble here, Shinji would probably be very troubled, so let's go somewhere else." Nelliel's tone was calm as she slowly said.
After leaving Shinji's side, her aura shifted colder
Cold, arrogant, disregarding everything.
"Nelliel, you've fallen."
"As a Great Hollow of the Hueco Mundo, you're with a Shinigami."
"Did you fall in love with him?"
"How ridiculous." Szayelaporro gave up struggling, watching Nelliel through the gaps in her fingers, mocking her wantonly.
But in an instant, his voice disappeared.
Then, a huge tremor came from the ground.
He was forcibly pressed into the ground by Nelliel.
-On the other side.
Shinji's Zanpakuto was slightly unsheathed, he shook his left hand, and stretched his joints.
"My words from just now are still valid."
"Both of you leave Karakura Town immediately, and I'll pretend I didn't see you two." Looking at the two Arrancar staring at him warily, Shinji said again.
"Stop joking around, Shinigami!"
"Who do you think you are?!"
Bang!
Cirucci Sanderwicci attacked first, using Sonído to quickly approach Shinji, and punched him directly in the head.
Did he think her strength was average just because of her small stature?
She was once a member of the Espada!
Underestimating her strength would lead to death!
"If you're not leaving, Nelliel needs more experimental data to evolve to a dimension beyond Vasto Lorde-class, so you two stay." Shinji raised his hand, blocked her attack, directly grabbed her hand, and threw her towards the ground.
With a rumble!
The ground where Cirucci Sanderwicci impacted directly showed a continuous depression for hundreds of meters, with exaggerated spiderweb-like cracks densely covering it.
This was Shinji's power.
Even a mere wave of his hand could cause immense destruction.
"Dragon Fist!" Gantenbainne didn't give Shinji a chance to pursue, swinging his fists, several times towards Shinji's face.
Boom!
Both's fist connects.
A clear sound of bones breaking echoed.
In Gantenbainne's astonished gaze, he was sent flying as if hit by a train.
His strength was actually suppressed by a Shinigami.
And, with one punch, his bones were broken!
Looking at his rapidly recovering arm.
Gantenbainne's eyes were filled with fighting spirit, and.. a hint of shock.
he's like a monster, completely unlike an normal Captain Shinigami be.
When he evolved into an Adjuchas, he almost discarded all other enhancements, using them all to evolve his strength.
In a pure strength contest among Adjuchas, Gantenbainne was absolutely the strongest!
Gantenbainne had this confidence in his strength.
Because he had used all his spiritual pressure to enhance his strength, he had evolved his strength to the Vasto Lorde
With a whoosh!
Cirucci, with an unpleasant expression, flew to his side.
"How is it?" She asked, glancing at Gantenbainne's arm.
"Very strong, In terms of power, he can completely suppress me, even shatter my bones." Gantenbainne spoke in an incomprehensible tone "The hardness of his bones might even be higher than mine, To be able to shatter my bones with one punch is simply unbelievable."
Hearing this, Cirucci's eyes slightly narrow "It's not just power his speed is also very fast, I just stacked Sonído multiple times to launch an attack in a short period, and he could still react instantly and counterattack quickly."
Looking at Shinji, who appeared relaxed and full of openings, Her eyes were filled with apprehension.
This Shinigami seems a bit too strong.
"Uh.. if I may interrupt."
"Discussing tactics right in front of me? You two really?" A slightly frivolous voice sounded from behind.
Cirucci and Gantenbainne's pupils simultaneously constricted, astonishingly realizing that the shadow Shinji had left in front of them was gradually fading, becoming transparent.
That was an illusion left by ultra-high-speed movement!
Even their sensory nerves and dynamic vision couldn't capture his speed, What kind of monster is this Shinigami?
Bang!
A spray of blood erupted.
Gantenbainne's arm, used for blocking, was directly shattered, while Cirucci, unable to react in time, was directly kicked in the abdomen by Shinji's whip-kick, spitting out a mouthful of blood foam and disappearing from sight.
"What a monster." Watching his arm constantly heal as flesh grew, Gantenbainne stood in the air, staring at Shinji "Young man, are you a Vasto Lorde Arrancar disguised as a Shinigami." Such monstrous strength and exaggerated speed were just like Vasto Lorde Arrancars.
"A Hollow? I'll take that as a compliment, but I don't want to become a Hollow," Shinji scratched his head and chuckled, then pointed at Gantenbainne and asked "You seem a bit different from other Hollows, You actually proactively warned me to be careful?"
"Ah, bullying the weak is not something to be praised." Gantenbainne bared his fangs and smiled brightly.
Upon hearing this.
Shinji couldn't help but look at him a few more times with curiosity.
Although he wasn't much to look at, and his muscles were so developed he looked like a small mountain, he was quite an interesting fellow.
However, did he initially consider himself "weak"? Or did he warn him because he saw his youthful appearance?
Shinji touched his nose.
Having entered in 3rd Fusion State, even other captains of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads would never dare to call Shinji weak.
And today.
He was treated as weak by an Adjuchas-class Arrancar.
At this moment.
Gantenbainne stretched his fully regrown arm and looked at Shinji "Shinigami kid, instead of talking about that."
"I wonder if you could tell me what you meant earlier when you said the former 3rd Espada, Nelliel, evolved beyond a Vasto Lorde?"
