Ichigo swung Tensa Zangetsu: "Getsuga Tensho!"
The curved crescent flew at high speed toward Nnoitra.
But simultaneously, Nnoitra flapped his wings and instantly appeared before Ichigo again.
One, two, three, four!
One slash per arm. Four consecutive slashes struck Ichigo once more!
Then, hit and run again. After attacking, Nnoitra retreated, returning to the tall building from before!
"Getsuga Tensho!"
Irritated, Ichigo fired a Getsuga Tensho that destroyed the building Nnoitra was on, depriving him of a foothold.
Nnoitra landed on the ground!
This time, not giving Nnoitra a chance to continue pulling him, Ichigo actively pursued!
"Getsuga Tensho - Flash!" The slender Tensa Zangetsu and Santa Teresa's scythe continuously clashed!
Powerful Reiatsu exploded, as if a nuclear bomb had detonated on the spot. A huge semi-circular shockwave rose, covering a hundred-meter radius around the two!
However, when the explosion smoke cleared, seeing Nnoitra's undamaged wings, Ichigo's expression turned grim.
Nnoitra's wings were like thin dragonfly wings.
So Ichigo thought they would be very fragile.
The close-range Getsuga Tensho explosion earlier was meant to disrupt Nnoitra's flight.
However, the explosion happened, but the wings caught in it showed no effect!
This indicated Nnoitra's wings weren't that fragile.
"Ridiculous!" Ichigo shook his head. "What kind of good stuff did Aizen prepare for this guy!"
"Really no weakness at all?" Ichigo charged a Cero!
This time, it was a Gran Rey Cero!
Black mist with an aura of destruction spread from the blood in Ichigo's palm!
In the sky, the continuously falling Hollows paused!
Because a ruler's aura suddenly arrived!
The powerful Gran Rey Cero made the entire Soul Society tremble!
Many Captains and Arrancars engaged in battles stopped, looking toward Ichigo's direction.
"Is that... young Kurosaki's power?" Sensing the distant power, Kyoraku's expression was shocked.
Although Ulquiorra had come, Kyoraku hadn't engaged him in combat.
He was the crown prince sitting in for Captain-Commander Yamamoto in the Seireitei. Until the last moment, he couldn't move.
But the gruesome battle situation in the Seireitei tore at his heart.
Now sensing Ichigo's immense Reiatsu, Kyoraku felt slightly relieved.
"It seems young Kurosaki is about to show his power. I don't need to intervene today again. Happy!"
"Where should I go play at the red-light district later? Ah, something to look forward to!" Kyoraku began to daydream!
Of course, as the 8th Division's Captain, with the Seireitei suffering such heavy losses, he couldn't possibly sneak away after the battle. He would definitely participate in post-war reconstruction.
So this statement was just to influence others.
He had also read the combat reports from the Living World!
Indeed, hearing Kyoraku's words, the expressionless Ulquiorra's eyes flickered slightly.
That day, being suppressed by Ichigo's Cero reappeared in his mind!
"Gran Rey Cero?" Ulquiorra murmured. "That is indeed a powerful move! I never imagined a human could use a Hollow's technique to this extent initially!"
"However?" Kyoraku prompted.
"However, Aizen-sama's greatness is beyond your imagination!" Ulquiorra stated decisively. "The past me couldn't defeat Kurosaki Ichigo, but that doesn't mean the current me can't!"
"Moreover, Aizen-sama had me watch you, which naturally means Kurosaki Ichigo doesn't require excessive concern!"
"Nnoitra's new ability... might be something you cannot imagine!"
Saying this, a flash of awe passed through Ulquiorra's eyes.
That ability even opened his eyes!
"Oh, I'd like to hear the details?" Looking at Ulquiorra, Kyoraku's eyes gleamed!
"Hey, buddy, we're just staring at each other here with nothing to do. Why not tell me about it!" Kyoraku said familiarly.
Glancing at Kyoraku, for some reason, Ulquiorra nodded: "It is..."
"..."
"Space Jump!"
Ichigo ground his teeth, looking at Nnoitra before him.
He finally understood. It wasn't flight at all! Nnoitra's wing ability was actually an amplified version of Sonído!
Like Flying Thunder God Technique!
If not for a slight fluctuation from Nnoitra under the Gran Rey Cero, Ichigo might not have realized this!
'In that case, my Ruyi...'
Ichigo, now with 17 blade wounds on his body, looked at Nnoitra and began to plan.
But simultaneously,
The viewers who were still preparing to enjoy the earth-shattering battle between Ichigo and Nnoitra suddenly discovered,
The original battle live stream screen had divided once again!
Just like during the execution at Sokyoku Hill, combat scenes of many Captains appeared… Unohana, Kyoraku, Kuchiki, Zaraki, Komamura!
At the same time, one screen was particularly eye-catching!
Because this live stream wasn't in the Soul Society!
Living World.
Crack! A Garganta opened.
Accompanied by Gin, the top three Espada, and numerous Arrancar Fracción, Aizen stepped out. His calm eyes swept downward.
However, what appeared before him wasn't the bustling, noisy Karakura Town with heavy traffic.
But a city with only buildings, sparse in human presence… an empty city!
Seeing this, Gin gave a faint smile, somewhat sarcastically saying:
"My, my, Captain Aizen. It seems our idea was perfectly predicted by the Soul Society!"
Regarding Gin's nitpicking and faint questioning, Aizen paid no mind.
"It's nothing, Gin. This is also something I anticipated long ago!"
"Tosen and the Espada he leads have already pinned down most of the Shinigami in the Soul Society. We are sufficient!!"
"Don't you agree, Captain-Commander Yamamoto?" Aizen suddenly looked to the side.
There, leaning on his cane, wearing the 1st Division's Captain's Haori as usual, stood Captain-Commander Yamamoto.
And behind him were the elites specially prepared for this great battle!
Sui-Feng, Hitsugaya, Ukitake, Sasakibe, Rangiku, Omaeda Marechiyo!
