Gran Rey Cero in Spanish stands for Grand king zero, but the Arrancar are considered 'royalty' thanks to their power within the ranks of hollows.
Sciens preferred to call it by its Japanese name.
Royal hollow flash!
One could easily guess that he was just having a chunni moment despite the cold gaze he gave the ogre as he fired his cero.
The said monster's face looked like someone used a strong gust of wind to his face as his fat flapped about, his eyes squinted, his mouth cheeks got inflated.
At the same time, his teeth grit together, and it was not a pleasant sight to watch what happened to his oversized and fat body.
Still, the effects of a single gran Rey cero left something akin to heavy burn marks on his skin and flesh under the layers of some melted fat as Ji'ik barely managed to resist the attack!
But Sciens was the extremely aggressive type of attacker once he decided to deal with someone.
Within milliseconds after his 'casual' attack had subsided, The hollow had appeared right beside the ogre that was trying to breathe and beginning to feel ALL of his new injuries, brought forth a heavy punch to the gut sending him flying through the air by a few hundred meters.
Sciens was feeling somewhat disgusted by the melted fat that covered his arm as he swung it about, trying to get it off, but the hollow soon stopped upon seeing his adversary manage to stop his free flight gradually.
"Oh? so that means I can punch you harder, huh?"
The Arrancar spoke in amusement since the ogre was still trying to resist, but it was definitely confused by the 'sudden shift' of view~
With Ji'ik still in the air while gasping for breath as his insides seemed to have shifted and turned, soon he heard a whistling sound which made him look towards where the sound was coming from before a white fist smashed into the center of his face!
This time he was sent farther, as his neck creaked in pain, reaching over a kilometer away then not even a second that voice that was bringing more fear into his being uttered.
"Let's take it up a notch, shall we?"
By pure instinct, the ogre attempted to retaliate with both of his weapons both managed to hit his enemy. However, what was transmitted through his weapon wasn't the pleasant feedback that he got with every other victim of his, nor was it like earlier!
The spear released a screeching sound as it ground against something harder than itself. The flail there was nothing else that could be said since it broke upon impact!
Before long, as Ji'ik looked at this in shock, a hand enveloped his face, then his entire body was forced to the ground, but that wasn't the end as the hand's grip was still firm and dragged him along the ground that raised up some debris as he passed through while eyes opened up on Sciens torso then fired more ceros to the helpless ogre.
A hollow's fight can be a very ruthless sight, and this was something that Sciens had ingrained into him before he joined Shirou's group.
Thanks to the strong physique of Ji'ik, he managed to survive!
Well, Barely~.
Once they were a good enough distance away, the hollow threw his mangled victim into the air before restraining the ragged figure with countless threads leaving Ji'ik suspended in the air.
The hollow wasn't gentle either when the threads wrapped around the limbs of the ogre, causing multiple fractures within the arms and legs as they deformed from the strain of the webs that wrapped around them~
He howled in pain with a hoarse voice, but even then, it was quickly shut up with some web to the mouth.
Then while the ogre attempted to mumble something that, despite it being blocked and the pleading look in the monster's eyes, the hollow simply ignored it thanks to his vicious nature taking over at this moment, Sciens snapped his fingers before thousands upon thousands of eyes opened up around him. They all looked towards one...single...target...!
Then they all started to glow ominously red with a sound that grew louder with each cero that grew in size as Sciens said this.
"no one will harm anyone under my watch, not even gods themselves!"
Then he whispered with a Cheshire smile that formed on his face thanks to the angle of the red orbs shined upon him.

Just like the name itself, The hollow made this move thanks to learning one simple thing about anyone he faced, no matter how powerful or tough they are. Having a million ceros fired at them all at once was something no one can scoff off~.
Well if you think about it there aren't that many hollows that can do that other than that lazy bum that gets pulled around by his other half!
What met the eyes of Ji'ik at his last moment were seemingly countless red beams as he thought to himself.
"This world isn't a new haven for them. It was a fucking playground for this monster!"
Then the whole world felt a strangely momentary earthquake.
Once everything was settled, the area around the blast looked like a wasteland with a small black mist floating in the air.
Sciens ate the leftover soul of the ogre before flying back.

---Shizuku pov---
It was that strange dream again.
One where thousands of corpses wearing hakama littered the ground and at the center of it all was a strangely large and howling spider as it held the bodies of a few children.
The howl it made held so many things, loneliness, frustration, confusion, and sadness.
The last emotion seemed to fluctuate strongly and then weakened as another emotion made it hard to breathe.
Anger, unbridled fury towards the bloodied human that laid on the ground.

While one word was cut off for some reason, the warped voice asked in a dreadful tone.
The weakened man that was being questioned simply laughed out loud before coughing blood. As if enjoying this, the man smiled.
But that quickly changed into a pained one as one of the blade-like appendages pierced through his left thigh, then with every word, it shifted from side to side.

*heh* the man forced out a chuckle before stating this.
"They were corrupted, so I eradicated them like the filth that THEY ARE!"
The man certainly had balls of steel, but the spider whispered.
"Corrupted, huh?"
It then added, this time, no longer warped.
"since you believe that so much, Then I will make sure that you will no longer exist, in this world and the next!"
The spider was that furious. At first, he was tempted to make this man join the ranks of 'hollows,' but that would lead to a possible enemy, and that wouldn't be enough as punishment.
Oddly enough, I could hear everything he was thinking, at the time, before that dream stopped right then and there.
A few words whispered into my ears as I woke up.
Please... help...--
I was heaving now thanks to no longer feeling that strange pressure from before.
I couldn't hear the last part as it was like a low mumble.
Thinking back on the dream, I couldn't help but wonder.
What was Sciens really?
What led to such a massacre?
Why did that scene seem familiar?
Why did it seem like I have been there before?
But a poke on my side broke me from my thoughts as some of the mono-eyed spiders brought me a tray of food. While I accepted it, I began to ponder again as I scratched the 'head' of the nearest spider.
What exactly am I supposed to help with?
