Number... 4?!
According to the information they had gathered earlier, Espada was a newly promoted organization in Hueco Mundo.
The number of members of this organization was currently unknown, but the three that had appeared were all Arrancar level hollow. They would mark an Arabic number on a certain part of their body to be their Sequence.
And that Arabic numeric sequence was based on the combat ability ranking of 'Espada'.
In other words.
This Arrancar in front of him was only ranked fourth among 'Espada', and there were three other Arrancar who were stronger than this monster in front of him!
Was it a joke ?!
Tony's eyes trembled slightly, and his scalp went numb. His entire body stiffened as if he had fallen into an icehouse.
As far as they knew, the Arrancar Grimmjow with the number 6 had already displayed a terrifying power. Even Captain of death god had been severely injured by him after he was released. It was unknown whether she was alive or dead.
As for the other, although he did not know the number, no matter how he looked at it, it should not be very high. This could be seen from the other Arrancar's attitude. It should be at least lower than Number 6.
Then the problem came.
It was only two levels higher than a Number 6, but the difference between them was like the difference between heaven and earth. Even before they use Resureccion, they were already on a completely different level.
"God, tell me this isn't true." Tony widened his eyes. His eyes were filled with disbelief as he looked at the figure in a daze. He muttered, "This monster... is it really the same race as those two Arrancar?"
Was such a terrifying monster only ranked fourth among the 'Espada'?
Even Tony, who had a high IQ of two hundred, could not imagine what kind of terrifying strength the three 'Espada' above him had!
"Is it over?"
Ulquiorra was expressionless, his breath was steady and long, without any trace of fluctuation. Even Spiritual Power was as deep as ever.
On the other hand, 6th Division Captain was panting at the moment, and his face turned pale like paint because of the loss of blood in his right arm. Even the fluctuation of Spiritual Power was not as strong as before.
Obviously, he was at his wit's end.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this Captain's Spiritual Power had consumed too much energy. At this time, he was already at the end of his flight. It was unlikely to use the previous attack.
This scene was undoubtedly a huge blow.
Everyone could clearly feel that the big hand known as despair and fear gripped their hearts tightly. The fear that came from the depths of their souls was like thousands of insects crazily gnawing at them. They were already lacking in rationality and calmness.
All the captains were defeated, and they were crushed by a single side. This was something that Tony and the others had never expected before the start of the battle.
Originally, they had imagined that even if they were no match for these people, they would at least be able to delay or even replace one or two of them, and they should be able to barely do it.
However, reality stood up and slapped them hard, shattering their fantasies.
...
...
...
After seeing the power of Arrancar, Kuchiki Byakuya was shocked for a moment.
But soon, he regained his spirit, not only did he not take a step back, but also advanced a few steps.
"Still not willing to give up?"
Seeing Kuchiki Byakuya stubbornly raised the sword, Ulquiorra frowned slightly: "In a situation where you know that you are invincible, but you still insist on swinging the sword to the opposite direction, usually in the sense, you are a fool."
"So what?"
Kuchiki Byakuya looked cold and said word by word: "As one of the five great nobles of Soul Society, my pride does not allow me to take a step back. Even if I know that the road ahead is a dead end, I will still use the sword in my hand to cut it off!"
"Good resolve."
Ulquiorra nodded slightly, as if he agreed with the enemy's idea. "Since you insist on this, then attack. However, this time, I will not show mercy."
"I couldn't ask for more!"
Thousands of sword blades turned into a sea of flowers, floating and gathering around Kuchiki Byakuya again, and then returned to an ordinary sword blade, accompanied by Spiritual Power who was released gradually converging, and a great pressure spread out.
Zheng -
Kuchiki Byakuya held the sword hilt with both hands, took a deep breath, and the sword tip pointed to Ulquiorra in front of him. "This is my last move. I will only use it when I swear that I have to kill the other party with my own hands."
"Then..."
Ulquiorra's eyes moved slightly and slowly took out a hand from his pocket. He said lightly, "Let me see the counterattack of a captain before he dies."
Seeing that the battle was about to break out, the 6th Division was going to stop it with death, Lod's communication device rang again, and there was news that they had been waiting for a long time.
"Captain Kuchiki, Captain Kisuke, Captain Soi Fon, Captain Tōshirō Hitsugaya, the restriction is over, permission is allowed to remove the spiritual seal!"
Restriction?
Tony and others were slightly stunned. Before they could figure out what this so-called restriction spiritual seal was, they suddenly felt the earth shaking violently, followed by a pressure that directly hit the soul, like a tsunami under the storm, drowning them!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three enormous pillars of light suddenly rose from the ground.
If one looked carefully, they would discover that the positions of these three pillars of light were the places where the captains had fallen earlier.
"Open your eyes and watch."
Lod's solemn expression finally revealed a smile. "Next... This is the true strength of the captains."
...
...
...
"Finally."
Kuchiki Byakuya tore off the tattered clothes on his upper body, revealing a black flower seal. "I let you down before, next is our real strength, limit release!"
In the next moment.
The tsunami-like wind swept over like the end of the world.
Kuchiki Byakuya suddenly became completely different from before. The momentum of his body was like a violent volcanic eruption, and the majestic Spiritual Power rushed out. The gap between Spiritual Power was even worlds apart. It was hard to believe that this 6th Division Captain in front of him was the previous person.
Ulquiorra frowned, and there was a trace of surprise in his dark green eyes.
"It seems that you are very puzzled, then I will tell you." Kuchiki Byakuya said lightly: "All of our Captain, Vice-Captain level and above death god, before coming to the modern world, will be forced to get restriction seal."
"This seal will limit our Spiritual Power to the extreme. In order to protect the human and soul of the modern world, in order to avoid being accidentally injured by our Spiritual Power."
"And the limit is... 80%!"
"In layman terms, our current strength is five times that of before."
Kuchiki Byakuya said, taking a step forward, Spiritual Power turned into a huge white light wings and slowly unfolded behind him.
The ordinary sword blade in his hand, under the blessing of Spiritual Power, had become a sacred sword to suppress evil and expel the darkness, emitting endless brilliance, illuminating the entire sky above New York City!
"It's coming, Arrancar."
The sword of Kuchiki Byakuya hung low, the tip of his foot lightly pointed at hollow, and his whole person turned into a stream of light, pulling the traces of thousands of burning light, straight to Ulquiorra.
"Shūkei: Hakuteiken!!"
