Chapter 208 Desperate Battle

"Such power!"

"This feeling!"

"..."

Nnoitra instinctively shuddered.

He hadn't felt anything like this in years.

It was precisely because I hadn't had this kind of feeling for many years that I couldn't accept it.

When he was Achucas, he enjoyed killing in the Great Hollow Forest.

At the beginning, he relied on his incomparably powerful strength, and all existences could only crawl and tremble in front of him, and then despair. This situation continued until he met that guy.

Nellielu!

The opponent is Vastod who is more powerful than him.

Even though he tried every possible means, he was unable to defeat the opponent. Instead, he felt despair, which of course made him angry.

So he tried every possible way to become stronger.

Later, he joined the Kyonyagu, broke the mask and gained even more powerful strength, but he didn't expect that the guy he hated would also join the Kyonyagu and become one of the Espada.

And because the opponent is Vastod, his position is higher than his own.

This was another thing that Neutra couldn't stand.

However, that was all many years ago.

The guy that he hated has now left Xuye Palace because of him.

Although he was only ranked fifth among the Ten Espadas, and there were indeed many guys stronger than him, he had no fear. Nnoitra firmly believed that even those guys would not make him tremble. There might be some gap, but the gap was not as big as he imagined.

Until now, Zaraki's strength seemed to have dealt him a heavy blow.

How could Nnoitra, who prides himself on being powerful, accept this?
He even used the sword to release the opponent, but he didn't kill him.

The opponent actually revealed even more powerful strength, making the power he released seem like a joke.

"Unforgivable, unforgivable!"

Because they had never known Nnoitra's past, everyone naturally could not understand where his anger came from.

But this guy is indeed a little sick.

It seems that the only acceptable thing to him is that the other party is weaker than him. As long as the other party shows some strength beyond his expectations, or causes him harm, he cannot accept it.

Nnoitra had no more energy to release that powerful force, and he was afraid that if he continued to feel that feeling, he would become more uncomfortable.

He decisively chose to take action.

Instead of rushing to Zaraki and launching a close-range attack, he slowly opened his mouth.

A wave of force came, powerful enough to shake the surrounding space.

Yellow spiritual pressure gathered in front of Nnoitra's mouth and turned into a ball of light.

"This is... a flash!"

Komamura's pupils froze under the wooden barrel.

The virtual flash is a move that only the great virtual can master.

The 11th Division is the division that has fought the most battles with Hollows. During these long years of war, there have been many cases of large Hollows appearing in Soul Society. Therefore, they have seen the Hollow Flash and know that it is the most powerful move of the large Hollows.

Although the release of the virtual flash requires a period of pre-swing, it can only be successfully condensed.

But the power is also really strong.

"This level of virtual flash!"

"Should we continue watching?"

Komamura Satsujin looked at his captain.

If this level of virtual flash is allowed to be released, everything here will probably be destroyed.

"Don't worry, Zaraki knows what's going on."

Xia Mu still looked calm and didn't show any sign of nervousness.

But in his heart, he corrected the mistakes in Komamura Satsuki's words.

'This is not a flash of emptiness, but the flash of Wang Xu!'

Wang Xu's Flash is a more powerful force than the Flash of the Hollow, and it is also the power that the upper-level Hollow obtains after breaking the mask and evolving.

So does Gengmu really have an idea in his mind?

He actually didn't care whether Nnoitra's Flash would cause huge damage.

He just felt the unusualness of Nnoitra's attack, so he did nothing but chose to watch while holding the huge Zanpakuto after it was released.

Until Wang Xu's flash burst out.

With a force powerful enough to distort space, a yellow flash came in front of Zaraki.

"Go to hell!"

Nnoitra's angry voice sounded.

Zaraki swung the huge sword in his hand, which was even more terrifying than Ichigo Zangetsu.

Nosai is a direct attack type Zanpakutō.

It does not possess strange abilities like the Kidō-type Zanpakutō.

As a sword of Saraki, its ability is very pure, or single.

It can transform Zaraki's spiritual pressure into a corresponding slashing attack.

A blow so powerful that it can annihilate everything.

Wang Xu's flash, any attack that could destroy everything, were all cut off by his sword.

The yellow beam of light was torn apart abruptly, and then substantial spiritual pressure enveloped Zang Mu's body, helping him to withstand the aftermath of the destruction of Wang Xu's flash.

More aftermath surged in all directions, attempting to impact the barrier that Xia Mu had condensed with his Bankai power.

As soon as Xia Mu had a thought, an invisible force swept over, and all the spirit particles in the scattered aftermath were absorbed by it, and the aftermath disappeared.

In the center of the battlefield.

Geng Mu waved the Nosei and resisted Wang Xu's flashing body, and he continued to charge forward.

The yellow beam of light was forcibly torn apart.

Soon, he rushed out from Wang Xu's flash and approached him in front of Noitra's horrified gaze.

Noitra saw that Wang Xu's flash had no effect.

He also waved his arms, six arms danced, and six huge sickles swept towards Gengmu at the same time.

The sword in Zaraki's hand was just a casual slash.

puff!
Scarlet blood splattered, and two arms flew out mixed with the sickles they held.

"Uh ah ah!"

A painful sound came out of Nnoitra's mouth.

He used the Xiang Zhuan technique and had to move away.

However, Zaraki continued to pursue him, also using instant movement to follow closely.

Unlike Kidō, Shunpo does not involve any sophisticated techniques. It is also the only thing among the Zanken Zouken techniques that Zaraki is proficient in.

As for the white fighting and beheading techniques?
Saraki is not good at these things.

When he fought, he relied on instinct only, without any skills at all, which could not be called free-hand fighting or slashing.

Relying on the high-intensity burst brought by the powerful spiritual pressure, Zaraki's instant step speed is very fast.

Even the Arrancar's Hibiki is very powerful.

But the strongest one among the Ten Espada of Nnoitra is Steelhide, not Hibiki.

His sharp movements were not able to widen the distance between him and Zaraki.

As Zaraki approached him again, he swung his huge sword without saying a word.

Nnoitra used his remaining four arms to swing his scythe and prepare to attack.

However, it was a slash that could even cut through Wang Xu's flash.

His sickle was directly cut off by Yeshai.

The horrific impact shook Nnoitra's body.

As a last resort, he could only use Xiang Zhuan again to create distance.

During this process, his arm that was cut off by Gengmu was slowly recovering.

Super speed regeneration.

This is part of the ability he retained after becoming an Arrancar.

In addition to possessing the strongest steel skin, he also possesses super-fast regeneration. It can be said that this is the source of his arrogance.

With this ability, when fighting with the enemy, he doesn't care whether he gets injured or not. He can completely defeat his opponent by using the strategy of exchanging injuries for lives.

However, as your strength increases, your horizons become broader.

Nnoitra prefers to kill his enemies without taking any damage, and watch them despair under his ravages.

This is also why he cannot accept the fact that his enemy hurt him.

It is obvious that he possesses such a powerful ability that can quickly heal injuries.

"Although the ability of super-speed regeneration is very powerful and can quickly restore damaged body tissues, it is not without a price. The price is that it consumes a lot of spiritual pressure."

"If you use this method when you are both injured and defeated in a fight, you can definitely turn the tables by exchanging your own weakness for the recovery of your body. After all, at that time, the enemy will be unable to move due to his broken body, while you are in good condition, so you will of course have the advantage."

"But, Zaraki's current condition has not weakened."

"It would be a futile struggle for him to activate super-speed regeneration at this time."

Xia Mu spoke calmly and made a judgment on this confrontation.

Having said that, he felt a little bored again.

If Nnoitra has no other means, these Ten Espadas seem to be just like this.

Compared to the original work, the only difference is that he has one more legion under his command, and the Hollows of Kuroyoru have been integrated and trained by Aizen and have become more disciplined. Apart from that, there seems to be no change.

Using his super-fast regenerative abilities, Nnoitra was able to regrow his destroyed arm.

He continued to fight against Zaraki.

But Zaraki is unreasonable after unleashing his Zanpakutō.

Unless Nnoitra can possess all kinds of strange abilities like the members of the Stern Cross Knights in the original work, such as the ability of the rule system.

Otherwise, in a pure clash of power, he would not be a match for Zang Mu.

All his resistance was in vain under the wielding of Ye Sha.

A powerful, unrivaled, all-destructive slash.

Nnoitra resisted again and again, but failed again and again.

He tried to use the ring turn to get out of here.

After all, there is more than one enemy, and there are many Death Gods on the platform, waiting there covetously. Although no one from the Fifth Legion was brought along this time.

But there are many voids in the Great Void Forest.

There are also some virtual beings guarding this arena.

As a result, now, after such a long time, I have used Wang Xu's flash and made such a big noise, but no Xu has come.

This made Nnoitra realize that something was wrong.

He wanted to find those guys and ask them to help him fight against the god of death.

Even Nnoitra did not realize that when he had such a thought, it meant that he had already developed a fear of Zaraki, and the breath of despair had actually appeared in his heart.

However, the idea is good.

Can you escape?

In order to allow Zaraki to fight happily, Natsuki even used his Bankai to prepare a perfect stage for Zaraki.

In this stage, no existence will affect this battle.

At this moment, Nnoitra actually wants to escape?
It's just a dream.

He suddenly realized that no matter how he ran, he could not escape from here.

He continued to perform the rotation and finally, returned to the original place.

It seemed as if there was an invisible wall that made it difficult for him to escape from the arena.

Until the outcome is decided, he can only continue to fight with Zaraki here.

despair!

Extremely desperate!
Among the Ten Espada, the entry corresponding to Nnoitra is Despair.

He liked to see others despair and powerless to struggle in front of him, and he took great pleasure in it.

But today, in front of the even more powerful Zaraki, this desperate man became himself.

Constantly struggling, constantly trying, but without any results.

Instead, his arm, which had recovered with the help of his super-speed regeneration ability, was cut off again by Zaraki's slash.

Just as Xia Mu said, the ability of super-speed regeneration requires a price. Every time of super-speed regeneration, it consumes his spiritual pressure and his strength.

The principle of super-speed regeneration is to use the spiritual pressure in the body to reconstruct the spiritual body.

Now he already feels his own weakness.

"This can't go on like this."

Nnoitra thought so.

Just one Grim Reaper made him feel so pressured, and there were so many Grim Reapers watching nearby, especially one of them was wearing a white robe.

As Aizen popularized all kinds of knowledge about Soul Society, Nnoitra knew very well that only one kind of Shinigami could wear this kind of white robe.

That is the captain of the Gotei 13.

That is the existence standing at the top of Soul Society, and in their Hueco Mundo, it is the Espada.

The Shinigami in front of him was so difficult to deal with. As expected, the captain of the Gotei 13 would definitely be stronger.

To be honest, Nnoitra actually found it a little hard to accept.

A Grim Reaper who is not even a captain actually pushed himself to this extent.

What a distressing thing this is.

"Even if I lose my mind, even if I die in a moment, I will drag you to be buried with me."

There was a mad look in Nnoitra's eyes.

Under the watchful eyes of Natsuki and others, Nnoitra, who was already in a desperate situation after being attacked repeatedly by Zaraki and was one step away from death, suddenly reached out and took out a bottle of medicine from his body.

"This thing?"

Xia Mu's eyes were fixed. He sensed a familiar smell in the bottle of medicine.

Without explaining anything as before, Nnoitra simply opened the bottle and drank the contents.

Then he drank the bottle of medicine.

Nnoitra's body immediately swelled up rapidly. During the process of expansion, he endured pain that was difficult to describe in words, but this was not the most critical point.

The most important thing is that even though he had already used the sword release, Nnoitra's spiritual pressure surged again.

Apart from the Quincies, if you want to judge whether a Shinigami or a Hollow is powerful, there is a simple and brutal way, which is to feel their spiritual pressure.

As long as the spiritual pressure is strong enough, this guy will definitely not be weak.

"You are all going to die!"

A shrill scream came out of Nnoitra's mouth, but even so, he did not forget to threaten the death gods like Natsuki and Saraki.

Some people looked solemn.

As for Natsuki and Saraki, the person involved, they looked disapproving.

This is indeed the case. There is really no need to care too much about Nnoitra.

In the original work, he used the sword release, but was chopped to death by Zaraki who had not mastered the Shikai.

It can be seen that Gengmu's strength is stronger than his.

And now, even with the help of special techniques, he has improved his strength once again.

But Zangmu is not the Zangmu in the original work.

Now, Zaraki has mastered the Shikai.

Even though Nnoitra's strength improved, he never surpassed Zaraki.

His fate was already determined.

Boom boom boom! !
In the huge arena, the roar continued to echo. Nnoitra fought desperately and the power of the attack he launched was indeed extraordinary. Unfortunately, he was still slightly inferior in the end.

As Zaraki Nosai slashed, his life was completely destroyed.

At this point, the battle has finally come to an end.

……

The center of the inner circle of Hueco Mundo is the palace where the King of Hueco Mundo lives.

The Xuye Palace today is much more magnificent than when Xia Mu first arrived.

This is naturally related to blue dyeing.

After Aizen took over the Hueco Mundo, the first thing he thought of was the Hueco Mundo. He and Sal Apollo hit it off and cooperated. Finally, Aizen took over and continuously expanded the Hueco Mundo. Compared with the beginning, the Hueco Mundo has now evolved into a behemoth.

Compared with the current Kyūya Palace, the Kyūya Palace in Bylergan back then was just a name, and its size was not even as big as the palace of any member of the Ten Espada.

Above this extremely huge and vast palace, there is a sky curtain created by Aizen using a special technique.

The existence of the sky curtain makes the four seasons and weather inside Xuye Palace completely different.

The outside Hueco Mundo is extremely desolate. As far as the eye can see, it is all desert and night all day long. But inside the Hueco Mundo Palace, there is a distinction between day and night, and the climate is as warm as spring all year round. Apart from that, the most amazing thing is the presence of more green plants and trees inside.

You know, due to the unique environment of Hueco Mundo, there are no plants here.

Even in the Great Void Forest, there are only special stones inside. They look a bit like big trees, but in essence they are not trees.

But after Aizen transformed the Hueco Mundo, this thing that did not exist in Hueco Mundo existed under the sky. It can only be said that Aizen's stay in Hueco Mundo for more than a hundred years has brought about great changes. However, if you think about it carefully, planting trees in Hueco Mundo and transforming the environment here is not a difficult thing to do.

Soul Society can even create artificial Shinigami.

Aizen just planted some trees in Hueco Mundo.

Although the environment in Hueco Mundo is much worse than that in Soul Society, it doesn't make sense that those trees can survive in Soul Society but cannot survive in Hueco Mundo.

As long as the environment is modified and the adaptability of these trees is enhanced, these trees can survive in it.

Of course, because there is no sun in Hueco Mundo, even if Aizen created trees, they would only exist under the sky of Hueco Mundo.

The inner area of ​​Xuye Palace.

The place closest to the King's Palace where Aizen lives is the territory of the Espada.

The leader among the Ten Blades is Sar Apollo.

This is also a familiar feeling to Xia Mu.

He had met the other party during Xia Mu's first trip to Xuye Palace.

In the original work, he was once the first Espada, but later fell out of the Espada because of his own messing around. He then returned to the Espada and created a miracle. However, in the original work, when he returned to the Espada, many more powerful Arrancar had already emerged in front of him, so the seat he got was not very high.

But it is different now. Perhaps it was the influence of Tsunamiyo Tokinada back then that made Sar Apollo embark on another path. He continued to study the little fragment of the Soul King that he got from Sar Apollo.

Afterwards, after Aizen entered the Hueco Mundo, he cooperated with Aizen in the research of Arrancar.

This meant that Sal Apollo did not fall out of the Ten Blades, but instead became even more powerful.

Over the years, since the birth of the Ten Espadas, he has always occupied the chief position among the Ten Espadas.

"Hueco Mundo Research Institute" is the name he gave to his palace.

Among the many legions in Hueco Mundo, the First Legion he led was not a combat legion, but rather a legion composed of researchers.

They are conducting various research and transforming Hueco Mundo.

The current state of Hueco Mundo is inseparable from their efforts.

Of course, since it is difficult for creatures like Hollows to remain rational, there are naturally fewer researchers than in Soul Society.

The First Legion is also the one with the smallest number of people among all the legions.

At this moment, in a room specially used to monitor the status of the Espada and the Arrancar, a special instrument immediately issued an early warning.

“Warning, warning!”

"The Fifth Blade's spiritual pressure is rapidly weakening, and its life force is rapidly disappearing..."

The voices of the Hueco Mundo researchers continued to echo, their words filled with anxiety.

After a moment, his tone changed again.

"The fifth blade is confirmed dead!"

Everything is settled.

Then, the researchers of the First Corps reported the incident to the higher authorities. When Aizen, the King of Hueco Mundo, learned about it, he immediately became concerned.

The most central area of ​​Xuye Palace.

In the meeting hall of the King's Palace, a meeting of the Ten Espada was held.

The Ten Espadas, under Aizen's call, quickly moved towards this side.

At the center of the huge round table, Aizen sat quietly in a chair, watching the Espada members arrive one by one without taking the initiative to greet them.

After the nine Espada, who are also the top Hollows in Hueco Mundo, arrived here.

Aizen just spoke, "It looks like everyone is here, the meeting can begin."

"Is everyone here? It seems there's still one guy who hasn't come yet." After hearing what Aizen said, someone among the Espadas immediately expressed a different opinion.

"I know who you're talking about." Aizen said calmly, "The Fifth Blade, Nnoitra, is not absent innocently."

"The convening of today's meeting is also related to him."

Then, Aizen revealed Nnoitra's current whereabouts. "Earlier, the First Legion sent an urgent report that Nnoitra's spiritual pressure has completely disappeared. He is definitely dead!"
