Lilynette raised her twin pistols with both hands, while ten spirit particle light swords floated around her body, her mastery of her abilities clearly more skilled and fluid than Starrk's.
Their original body could split itself into two beings, demonstrating a remarkably high level of control over spirit particles and Souls.
Although this wasn't explicitly stated in the original work, when Aozaki saw the scene before him, he couldn't help but feel a deep suspicion: perhaps Lilynette was the true core.
After all, their original body felt lonely due to being too powerful, and in order to become weaker, it separated into the more powerful Starrk.
This way, it made sense that the core was the relatively weaker Lilynette.
At this moment, Zaraki, dragging his sharp long blade, charged forward without hesitation.
His eyes were filled with a tyrannical aura, like a wild beast, fearlessly launching a charge.
In the world of Shinigami, in the later stages, strong individuals who mastered the power of rules were everywhere, and relying solely on the power of Shinigami was far from enough.
Therefore, to become even stronger, one must seek various strange paths of transformation!
Zaraki sprinted with all his might, kicking up a cloud of dust, while a dazzling blue light rushed towards him from ahead, illuminating his demon-like mask.
Spirit particle light swords shot out continuously like raindrops, and under Lilynette's precise control, they sealed off every possible space for evasion.
Looking at such a dense attack, Aozaki murmured, "A variant of the Wolves?"
Lilynette's sword formation was very similar to Starrk's Wolves, but it was clear that Lilynette's control was far superior to Starrk's, enabling her to perform such high-difficulty operations without needing Soul fragments.
There was no avoiding it!
Facing such an attack, Zaraki chose to take it head-on with his own body!
A light sword fiercely struck him, instantly emitting a deafening explosion, as the forces of destruction and regeneration intertwined at that moment.
But Zaraki was not deterred by the pain; he slid rapidly across the ground for hundreds of meters before barely stabilizing himself.
Then, he unhesitatingly raised the Zanpakuto in his hand, and the blade at the tip of the sword suddenly shone with a dazzling light.
This was Sword Pressure!
An intensely hot golden slash flew forward like a gust of wind, then traced a beautiful crescent-shaped trajectory in the air, as if tearing apart the entire sky, bringing countless brilliant specks of starlight.
"Huh? That works too?"
Lilynette raised her eyebrows when she saw this scene.
In Shinigami combat techniques, Sword Pressure was merely one of the most basic skills, and the power unleashed by Zaraki was only comparable to a single light sword.
However, just as this fierce slash struck the light swords, the immense energy collision caused the light swords to explode.
"Was it that beast-like intuition at play, or pure coincidence?"
Lilynette turned her head, only to find a figure darting out from the side.
His legs ran incredibly fast, alternating steps.
He wants to get close to me just like that?
A faint, disdainful smile played on her lips, and then she raised her twin pistols again.
Infinite Cero!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
Accompanied by sharp, piercing sounds of air being torn, countless blue energy beams, like dense bullets, pierced through the void, sweeping fiercely towards Zaraki's direction.
These beams were extremely fast, almost reaching him in the blink of an eye.
Is this the true strength of the sole autonomous Arrancar Menos Grande?
Zaraki had no time to react further; he could only abruptly stop, but was still blasted into the ground by the torrential blue light rain.
As the smoke gradually dissipated, the once-flat ground became a mess, covered in dense craters, as if it had suffered a fierce bombardment.
"That was close, this place was almost destroyed," Aozaki said, waving his hand lightly.
Everyone then noticed that a transparent cube composed of six barriers had quietly enveloped the surrounding space.
And the barrier previously cast by the Kidō Corps had been completely destroyed the moment it came into contact with that barrage.
However, this was not the end.
When the first wave of Cero attacks ended, the twin pistols in Lilynette's hands suddenly transformed into two sharp long blades, and at the same time, a dull thud came from under her feet, and her figure vanished from her original spot.
For her, this change in combat style seemed not difficult at all; rather, it appeared effortless.
But just then, she saw Zaraki, who was half-crouching on the ground, suddenly leap up, his long blade deeply plunged into the earth.
He quickly rotated his waist and abdomen, his Reiatsu surging, instantly raising a wall made of dust.
However, this dust wall was immediately torn to shreds by the strong winds stirred up by the twin blades.
Lilynette narrowed her eyes; the flying dust temporarily obscured her view of the target.
She hesitated for a moment, and then, a dazzling light suddenly shone through the dust.
Cero!
Hmm, so he's using the dust to cover up his unskillful release!
This guy, after becoming a monster, has his brain actually gotten smarter?
Lilynette muttered to herself.
The Cero broke through the dust from the opposite direction, and Lilynette lightly touched the ground, nimbly dodging it.
Just as she was about to mock him, she suddenly felt a chill down her spine, and she quickly jumped to the side.
Bang!
A serrated long blade shot out like a dart, firmly embedding itself where she had just stood, vibrating continuously.
"Damn it, I almost forgot this guy isn't a Hollow at all!"
She couldn't help but curse under her breath, rolling backward with increasing clumsiness.
Bang, bang, bang!!!
The beast-like figure, on all fours, broke through layers of air walls at an astonishing speed, the loud sonic booms resounding all around.
Who exactly is the monster?
Lilynette felt a bit annoyed; a Shinigami was actually so ferocious.
This is too much! It's one thing for you, a Shinigami, to cut people with a sword, but why are your actions now more like a Hollow than an Arrancar?
She saw Zaraki had already rushed within twenty meters, grabbing the long blade from the ground with one hand, while the other hand wielded like a beast's claw, the light on both blades intensifying.
Sword Pressure!
As she swung, a long slash with a trailing mark flew out, instantly sending Zaraki flying.
A hideous wound appeared on his body, blood splattering, but it quickly healed as good as new.
Looking at the scene before him, Aozaki couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
At this moment, the boundary between Hollow and Shinigami seemed blurred, their behaviors and characteristics intermingling.
Shinigami like Hollows, Hollows like Shinigami.
If that stubborn old man saw this scene, what would he feel?
But it doesn't matter, because that old man will have his own experience one day.
What? Unwilling?
This is an order from Central 46!
