In an instant, dazzling light burst forth as Grimmjow's body rapidly began to change.

A layer of white, bone-like skin quickly covered the surface of his body. Sharp, claw-like barbs grew from his arms, while his blue hair swept backward. His mask shifted to his forehead, and green markings extended from around his eyes toward his temples. A fierce and overwhelming aura erupted from him. It was as if, in the blink of an eye, he had transformed into a nimble white leopard, radiating both agility and raw power.

"Hahahaha! No choice now, I'll just have to finish you off quickly, outsider!"

Grimmjow's laughter rang out, shrill and grating, his expression twisted with manic ferocity.

"After all, having my prey stolen by someone else is a disgrace for the king's number one subordinate!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a cyan-blue glow suddenly flickered between his fingers.

Whoosh!

Almost instantly, the cyan-blue light flared into a cross-shaped gleam and exploded outward.

Golosen, standing right before him, instantly changed expression. He raised his greatsword and hurriedly placed it in front of himself.

"Block it!!"

With a roar, brilliant purple light erupted from both his body and his sword.

Boom!

A mass of cyan-blue flames detonated, and the powerful shockwave spread in all directions. Golosen was blasted away almost immediately, sent flying and tumoring hundreds of meters across the desert before finally coming to a stop.

Pfft!

He spat out a mouthful of black blood toward the sky. Crouching in the desert, Golosen's face had already turned deathly pale.

"Hahaha, how does that feel?"

"You, with your mere human body, dared to intrude into Hueco Mundo! Did you really not realize the gap between us?"

Grimmjow bent low and charged forward, dashing through the air so quickly that he left trails of spiraling gusts behind him as he arrived in front of Golosen.

"This is the gap between man and god!!"

With a sweep of his right arm, immense Reiatsu erupted as he struck fiercely toward Golosen.

Bang!

Golosen hurriedly blocked with his greatsword, but was still blasted flying once more.

"You're still far too inferior compared to me!!"

Landing slowly on the ground, Grimmjow raised his right index finger. Crimson light once again began to shine.

Whoosh!

The beam shot straight forward, aimed directly at Golosen's chest.

Cero!

Golosen had only just lifted his head when his entire field of vision was already flooded with crimson. His pupils contracted, and his whole body stiffened.

He couldn't dodge it! There was absolutely no way he could evade this attack!

As a being from the Level-6 civilization of Starlight, he had been utterly defeated the moment he stepped into this world, brought down directly by one of the enemy's soldiers, without even the slightest ability to resist.

The disparity between civilizations from different worlds was this immense.

The realization filled Golosen with shock... and despair.

"For the Ideal Nation, I offer my life!"

With a furious roar, Golosen had already resolved himself to death and shut his eyes.

Yet after several breaths passed, he felt no sign of death descending upon him. He slowly opened his eyes.

A slender white figure stood before him.

"You're too excited, Grimmjow. I'm beginning to question whether bringing you on this mission was the correct decision."

Grimmjow grinned.

"I figured his vitality wasn't that pathetic."

"Stop. When dealing with enemies, one should be decisive and efficient."

The calm voice entered Golosen's ears, causing him to freeze.

"I... I was saved?"

It seemed he had been rescued by the cold, imposing white figure standing before him, but at the very instant this thought formed in his mind, the slender white figure suddenly turned around.

Hiss!

With just a single glance meeting his, Golosen felt as though even his soul was trembling.

"This… this is the gap between souls, the condescending gaze of a higher lifeform toward a lower one. Their energy levels might not be that far apart, but in terms of rank, the difference is far too great!!"

Swish!

A long blade slashed out, instantly piercing through his right chest, leaving Golosen frozen on the spot.

Fast! That strike had come out far too quickly. There hadn't even been any noticeable change in the opponent's expression or aura, making it impossible to tell when the attack had been launched.

"Ulquiorra, you stole my prey!"

Grimmjow's exasperated voice came from ahead as darkness slowly consumed Golosen's vision.

"You were too slow. My lord's time is precious."

Ulquiorra said indifferently, causing Grimmjow to curl his lips and stop complaining.

On the other side, Coyote's weapon pierced through Senbak's abdomen, suspending him directly in midair as blood streamed downward.

"Only these three? The difficulty really isn't that high."

Coyote said with a smiling expression, looking refined and gentlemanly.

"Since they've all been dealt with, let's go." Ulquiorra said.

The three prepared to withdraw. Ulquiorra walked toward Arodalia, but as he approached, his footsteps suddenly paused, and a faint ripple appeared in his eyes.

"Sewo Wobadra, Aohe Bashi!!"

A murmured chant suddenly rang out. Arodalia, who had originally been lying unconscious on the ground, abruptly opened his eyes. Moreover, the wound in his body began healing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

This scene caused both Grimmjow and Coyote to widen their eyes.

"High-Speed Regeneration?"

The two exchanged glances and exclaimed in surprise.

Ulquiorra, however, reacted decisively. He directly swung the Zanpakutō in his hand, slashing toward Arodalia on the ground.

"Sbes Fortlu!"

Strangely, a mysterious force suddenly enveloped Arodalia's body, causing him to slide ten meters sideways across the ground, narrowly dodging Ulquiorra's strike.

"Hm?"

Ulquiorra shifted his gaze and locked onto Arodalia, as if puzzled.

But in the blink of an eye, his figure had already vanished. When he reappeared, he was standing directly before Arodalia.

"Bala!"

Crimson ripples distorted the surrounding space. Before Arodalia could even react, the attack struck him directly, making his body stiffen.

Clean and efficient, Ulquiorra thrust his Zanpakutō forward, piercing straight through the center of his opponent's chest.

Simple, swift, like a bolt of lightning, he ended the battle once again.

This was completely different from Grimmjow's beast-like, roaring style of combat.

Ulquiorra's fighting was calm and silent, yet somehow carried an even greater sense of cruel, violent artistry.

Cough, cough, cough!

Bent over and vomiting blood in large mouthfuls, Arodalia's entire body trembled as he felt his life rapidly draining away.

He still had large-scale forbidden spells capable of destroying an entire city that he had yet to release.

But from the very beginning of the battle, he had never been given the chance.

The enemy's combat rhythm and fighting style were fundamentally different from those of their world!

Even Golosen and Senbak possessed combat skills of that caliber, but there simply hadn't been enough time!

The fast-paced combat style of the three before him, face-to-face, straightforward, brutal slashing, had directly crushed them from the outset and then ended everything.

Arodalia also understood clearly in his heart: this was because the strength of these three had completely overwhelmed them.

"For the Ideal Nation, I offer my life…"

Murmuring those words, Arodalia dropped to both knees, lowered his head, and lost consciousness.

"Take them away."

Ulquiorra said indifferently.

An instant later, the three figures vanished from where they stood.
