Feeling the sudden shift in the young man's aura, even the confident Nagato couldn't help but tense up, his Rinnegan eyes filled with wariness.
The young man appeared indifferent, his expression calm.
The next moment, his figure flickered, vanishing from the spot!
Nagato saw this and his eyes narrowed sharply; he spread his arms wide and bellowed deeply.
"Shinra Tensei!"
With his shout, a powerful repulsive force once again swept around him from the center!
An indescribable force impacted everything, causing countless shards of debris and dust to swirl up within the vast hall, as if it had been struck by a horrific attack.
In Nagato's widened eyes, a figure suddenly appeared within the range of the repulsive force.
"Crack!"
With a loud noise, the figure seemed to hit an invisible wall, its forward motion abruptly stopped!
Seeing this, a flicker of relief passed through Nagato's eyes.
Indeed, that guy couldn't break through the power of Shinra Tensei.
However, what happened next completely unsettled him, his eyes widening in shock.
The young man forcefully landed on the ground but did not get flung far away as Nagato had expected with Shinra Tensei.
Instead, he forcefully braced himself with one hand in front, as if resisting the powerful repulsive force.
"Crack!" "Crack!"
Beneath the young man, cracks in the ground widened, and despite his steps being pushed back by the force, leaving deep marks on the ground, his expression remained indifferent, seemingly unbothered by the power.
Seeing this, Nagato's expression turned grim; he clapped his hands together, intensifying the output of his power.
"Boom—"
With his action, the already spreading repulsive force intensified.
The young man, who had been maintaining his stance, showed a slight change in expression under this intensified force.
"Rip!" "Rip!"
His sleeve on the arm raised against the force instantly shredded into countless pieces, blown away by the invisible power.
His body involuntarily moved backward, the scratches on the ground under his feet deepening abruptly!
In an instant, the powerful repulsive force suddenly vanished, leaving only dust drifting in the empty hall, as if covering everything.
"Pant"
"Pant"
Nagato breathed heavily, his Rinnegan eyes intently focused on the direction where the young man was blown away, yet he felt no relaxation inside.
This guy... he was actually able to block the force of Shinra Tensei with his bare hands!
At that moment,
"Tap" "Tap" "Tap."
With clear, rhythmic footsteps, the figure of the young man slowly emerged from the drifting dust.
Seeing him unharmed by Shinra Tensei, Nagato's eyes flashed with surprise.
In front of him, the young man now displayed a black-and-white uniform with the right sleeve completely destroyed, revealing his pale arm.
Despite this, his face and body did not show any signs of injury from having fully withstood the attack of Shinra Tensei.
"Not bad ability, but unfortunately, this power couldn't even injure my human body,"
"How can you claim to be of any help to Lord Aizen with such power?"
From the dust emerged the young man, his expression calm, his emerald green eyes indifferently glancing at Nagato and then spoke calmly.
"Next, if you can't block my attack, that woman will die in front of you."
Hearing this, Nagato's eyes sharply narrowed, and he anxiously looked towards Konan in the distance.
As he looked back at the young man, he saw him slowly raising his pale right arm, extending a finger towards Konan.
"Swish!"
With a soft sound, a bright green light began to condense at the tip of the young man's finger!
The young man remained calm, seemingly feeling the power gathering in his hand, his lips barely moving as he murmured.
"Is this how chakra is manipulated?"
"Even in a mere human body, the power released through the body's channels seems not so weak."
As his words ended, a bright green light orb formed instantly at his fingertip!
Nagato's face changed, shocked by the young man's action.
Even from such a distance, he could feel the immense power contained within the green light orb.
Thinking of the young man's intent to attack Konan, his expression turned ugly.
Damn it, Shinra Tensei can't be used again so soon!
At that moment, the young man looked towards Nagato with his green eyes and said calmly,
"I will attack on the count of three."
"Whether you can protect that woman's life depends on your ability."
"Prove to me here, if you, being so weak, can't even protect your comrade, how can you be of help to Lord Aizen."
Hearing this, Nagato's face was grim, his gaze intensely focused on the young man.
Despite Nagato's furious gaze, the young man remained calm, his voice soft as he began to count.
"Three."
Hearing this, Nagato's forehead was covered in cold sweat, his expression anxious as he frantically thought of possible actions.
"Two."
Damn it, Shinra Tensei can't be activated right now! Where is Lord Aizen, has he not noticed this battle? What should I do?
This guy... he's not joking; he really will strike to kill!
"One."
As the young man's cold voice slowly fell, he did not glance at Nagato again.
Instead, he pointed his fingertip at Konan, and the bright green light orb suddenly burst forth like a beam, surging towards her with immense force.
In the moment the young man's words fell, Nagato's mind couldn't continue to ponder; his expression filled with terror, his body instantly dashed in front of Konan.
Facing the overwhelming bright green light, Konan tightly closed her eyes.
"Swish!"
A figure stood directly in front of her.
Just as the dazzling green beam approached, nearly penetrating the figure, the young man in the distance watched the scene calmly.
In this critical moment, his hand seemed ready to squeeze and crush the light beam in his hand.
However, the scene on the battlefield made him abandon this intention, his eyes slightly surprised as he looked at Nagato blocking in front of Konan.
Nagato's young face was somewhat fierce, but he was clenching his teeth, determinedly standing in front of the green beam.
And the immensely powerful green light beam seemed to be absorbed, slowly flowing into his body.
Seeing this, the young man in the distance murmured softly.
"In addition to the force that pushes everything away, there is also an ability to absorb chakra."
"No wonder Lord Aizen has his eyes on him; this child's talent is astonishing if it develops…"
On the battlefield,
Konan's pale face opened her eyes in shock upon seeing the figure standing in front of her and cried out,
"Nagato!"
"How could you..."
At that moment, she heard Nagato's heavy panting in front of her.
"Pant"
"Pant"
Nagato was half-bent, his face covered in sweat as he breathed heavily, his breaths sounding like a bellows.
Konan quickly reached his side, supporting his trembling body, worriedly asking,
"Are you alright, Nagato?"
Leaning into Konan's embrace, hearing her words, Nagato mustered his energy to produce a weak smile, saying feebly,
"It's alright, I... I proved to that guy that I can protect you."
Hearing his words, Konan's eyes glistened with tears, cursing her own weakness.
At that moment,
A calm set of footsteps slowly approached.
Hearing the sound, both of their expressions changed, tensely watching the figure slowly approaching.
The young man walked closer, his green eyes glancing at them briefly, his gaze resting on the weak Nagato, and spoke calmly.
"You did well, you've proven your strength to me, I acknowledge you have the qualifications to assist Lord Aizen."
Saying this, he slowly turned and walked towards the vast hall, his voice calm as he added,
"However, you are still not able to defeat me. If you want that woman to receive my apology, speak again when you think you can defeat me."
Watching the young man gradually disappear into the darkness of the hall, Nagato and Konan both breathed a sigh of relief.
At that moment, Nagato suddenly looked up, calling out loudly to the young man's retreating figure,
"Hey, what is your name? And when did you appear beside Lord Aizen?"
Hearing Nagato's shout, the young man slightly paused his steps, slowly turning his small body.
Standing on the boundary between shadow and light, his posture upright, hands in his pockets, his right arm exposed with the tattered sleeve fluttering in the wind.
His green eyes, calm as a lake's surface, glanced at them, his voice plain as he responded,
"My name is Ulquiorra Cifer."
"As for your wonder about when I appeared beside Lord Aizen, rather than that, you should be concerned with what kind of strength can actually be of use to Lord Aizen."
"As someone noticed by Lord Aizen, I will keep watching you, because I do not allow incompetents to further tarnish Lord Aizen's plans."
With that, he turned slowly, disappearing into the darkness.
In the vast hall, only Konan and Nagato remained.
Nagato's gaze was solemn, deeply remembering that name—Ulquiorra Cifer.
