Survival in Hueco Mundo is cruel...
From a low-level Hollow without intelligence, driven by never-ending hunger, Grimmjow wandered and devoured,
Becoming a Gillian, then an Adjuchas.
And because the path of a Hollow is one of constant struggle… if you don't advance, you regress. Even Adjuchas must continuously devour Hollows of the same level to maintain their rank and prevent degradation.
Furthermore, once an Adjuchas-level Hollow degenerates into a Gillian, they will inevitably lose their intelligence.
In other words, degeneration is death!
During the long passage of time, even his companions grew weary of the state of constant devouring required to survive, unwilling to continue such a life.
Faced with this, the proud Grimmjow bit into his companion's flesh, determined to continue evolving while carrying a part of them with him!
In such circumstances, bearing the hopes of his companions' futures, Grimmjow never had the luxury of protecting others!
For the Leopard King, loneliness always permeated life from beginning to end!
Ichigo glanced at Grimmjow. For this very charismatic man, his understanding was even greater than that of Ulquiorra, so Ichigo also understood Grimmjow's meaning very well.
But the two were different.
Ichigo said disdainfully, "You can't do it, but that doesn't mean I can't!"
"If I can't even handle the two of you at the same time, how can I challenge Aizen?"
Ichigo's words made both Grimmjow and Ulquiorra's expressions darken simultaneously.
Ulquiorra said coldly, "Challenging Aizen-sama... that is truly the funniest statement I have ever heard!"
"With what? With your laughable arrogance in wanting to protect others?"
"Exactly!" Ichigo nodded. "You two Hollows, who have basically never experienced what companionship is, how could you understand my heart for my comrades!"
"Comrades are poison, but also the antidote. But as long as one is human,"
"Or something evolved from a human base, one cannot escape society and survive alone. That includes you two as well!"
"Ridiculous!" The two were extremely disdainful of Ichigo's words.
"Then let's give it a try!"
Debates of principle can only be settled by real action.
Simultaneously extending a finger to cut their own palms, blood gushed from the two Espadas' hands.
Using their own blood as a medium infused into a Cero… this is the forbidden technique in Las Noches, the Gran Rey Cero!
A special move only usable by Espada-level Arrancar!
At this moment, the two Espadas simultaneously activated this move, aiming and firing at Ichigo!
The powerful Gran Rey Cero shattered space. The massive Reiatsu Fluctuations drew everyone's attention.
Not far away, the Tres Espada, Tier Harribel, looked towards the school.
"Oh? Already using Gran Rey Cero this quickly? It seems Kurosaki Ichigo is putting immense pressure on Ulquiorra and Grimmjow."
Saying this, Harribel turned her head: "The battle over there is heating up. Aren't you two going to make a move?"
"Urahara Kisuke, and, Shihoin Yoruichi!"
Indeed, before Harribel stood Kisuke and Yoruichi.
However, only Kisuke was directly facing Harribel at the moment.
To the side, Harribel's three Fracción, Apacci, Mila Rose, and Sung-Sun, surrounded Yoruichi.
Being 'guarded' by the imposing Harribel, Kisuke was very puzzled.
"Deploying three Espadas at once? Two Vasto Lorde-level Menos Grande, and another at the peak of Adjuchas. What exactly does your Aizen-sama want to do?"
Harribel shook her head faintly. "Heh, perhaps to eliminate a special enemy, or perhaps to obtain a special ability."
"Aizen-sama's decisions do not require our interference!"
"You only need to choose to act, or to wait!" Harribel issued her final declaration!
Hearing this, Yoruichi and Kisuke exchanged a look. Glancing at the distant battle situation, they chose to wait for now!
Because at this moment, on the school sports field!
Under the astonished gazes of Grimmjow and Ulquiorra, Ichigo merged with his Doll to boost his Reiatsu. He actually wrapped a ring-shaped Getsuga Tensho around his sword-
Then blocked the two Gran Rey Cero!
Simultaneously, Ichigo roared loudly: "Orihime, bring the other two to me!"
"Oh, okay!" Feeling the Reiatsu Torrents around her that could tear her apart at any moment, Orihime quickly ran towards Ichigo's position...
Subsequently, Ichigo let out a roar.
Under the two's shocked gazes, as if multitasking, Ichigo simultaneously released both a Cero and a Getsuga Tensho!
Rumble rumble rumble-
A massive explosion erupted both in front of and behind Ichigo on the sports field!
It was as if a nuclear bomb had detonated on the spot.
The terrifying shockwave instantly flattened all facilities on the sports field!
Finally, carrying everything, the shockwave swept up numerous objects and crashed directly into the school building!
Under the trio's battle, the sturdy school building fared no better than the sports field.
Rumble rumble rumble-
Starting from the lowest structural level being destroyed, Karakura High School's school building collapsed.
Ichigo had achieved the feat of blowing up a school.
But that wasn't the most attention-grabbing part.
Struggling to maintain a small safe zone, Ichigo used Ruyi's ability to expand the Doll's storage space, placing Orihime and the heavily injured Uryu and Chad inside!
Ichigo wanted to provide a safe space for Orihime to continue healing!
Subsequently, swinging his sword heavily, tearing through the dust, Ichigo looked at the two, one in front, one behind.
"You guys were hitting pretty hard just now, right? Didn't expect I had this move, did you?"
"Now, it's my turn!" Ichigo used Shunpo forward, slashing down heavily at Ulquiorra!
Ulquiorra, hastily raising his sword, was sent flying back by Ichigo's strike.
Then, Ichigo followed up with a Getsuga Tensho!
It seemed this confrontation with Ulquiorra was much easier than many previous ones.
Bang!
Grimmjow appeared using Sonído, blocking Ichigo's attack for Ulquiorra with a Cero.
But Grimmjow was very puzzled by Ulquiorra's momentary daze.
"Bastard, do you want to die? Daydreaming in this kind of fight?"
Under Grimmjow's call, Ulquiorra snapped back to reality.
