"Sizzle!"
Nel directly spat a pink Cero at Starrk, who had just undergone Resurreccion.
"Boom!"
Starrk merely raised his left hand and pulled the trigger, and a pale blue Cero instantly formed, seemingly about to meet the pink Cero head-on.
However, the next moment, a bizarre scene unfolded: the Cero that had already been fired was re-absorbed by Nel, and even Starrk's Cero was pulled back.
The two converged in front of Nel, merging into a more powerful, dual-colored Cero that blasted towards Starrk.
Seeing this, Starrk only frowned slightly, then raised the pistol in his left hand.
"Sorry, Nel. Since Lord Yekawa has spoken, I'll finish this quickly!"
"Since you like to 'eat' Cero, then have a little more."
Starrk fired ten consecutive shots from his left hand, and ten pale blue Cero blasts simultaneously shot out.
The ten Cero blasts easily broke through Nel's double Cero.
"Oh no, I can't devour them!"
Seeing the overwhelming Cero blasts, Nel could only use Sonido to quickly evade the remaining ones.
Unexpectedly, Starrk's speed was even faster. He instantly used Sonido to appear above Nel's head, then raised the pistol in his right hand and fired a Cero that was slightly slower to charge but far more powerful.
"Boom!"
This incredibly powerful pale blue Cero directly struck Nel head-on!
The aftershock of the Cero hit the ground, leaving a giant pit hundreds of meters deep in the earth, stirring up thick smoke.
"Cough, cough!"
Nel flashed out of the deep pit, dark golden spiritual pressure surging around her. It was the sub-hogyoku repairing the wounds on her body.
Clearly, taking that blow head-on, if it were the Nel from the original work, she would have instantly lost her combat ability.
Just as Nel was about to adjust her state and re-engage, she found that Starrk had already appeared behind her, a pistol pressed against the back of her head.
"Sorry, Nel, you lost!"
A moment later, Nel walked out of the Four Directions Thunder World with a dejected expression and returned to Yekawa's side.
Yekawa, who understood everything, did not speak, but merely rubbed Nel's cheek as a gesture of comfort.
Harribel, witnessing this, couldn't help but feel a tremor in her heart. Although she couldn't see the scene inside the barrier, Nel was someone she had fought for three days without a clear victor, yet now she was defeated so quickly by Starrk!
This meant that even if she were to fight Starrk, the outcome would be no different.
"The difference between fellow Vasto Lorde Arrancar is actually so vast!"
Harribel also felt a bit bitter in her heart.
"Starrk is truly terrifyingly strong. It seems the strongest Espada is none other than him!"
Szayelaporro, standing nearby, said with a strange laugh.
Yekawa turned his head and saw Szayelaporro lightly pressing the frame of his glasses. A special kind of Reishi permeated the frame.
Szayelaporro had actually managed to see the inside of the Four Directions Thunder World through his glasses.
"I didn't expect you to break through my Four Directions Thunder World so quickly and see what was inside?"
Yekawa's tone was slightly surprised.
"Breakthrough is too strong a word. I don't have the ability to penetrate the barrier of Lord Yekawa's subordinate. I merely collected some of your Reishi, making my glasses homogeneous with your Reishi. Doing this only allows me to see clearly inside the barrier, nothing more."
Szayelaporro seemed somewhat flustered, as if fearing punishment for privately collecting Yekawa's Reishi.
Yekawa naturally saw through his thoughts and merely smiled faintly:
"No need to be nervous. Just don't take matters into your own hands like this again next time!"
As he spoke, a terrifying spiritual pressure surged around Yekawa, crushing down on Szayelaporro.
"Lord… Yekawa… forgive me!"
Szayelaporro, intimidated by the spiritual pressure, immediately felt it difficult to breathe, as if a thousand-pound weight was pressing down on him.
If not for Yekawa granting him a sub-hogyoku to help him become an Arrancar, this spiritual pressure alone would have prevented him from standing up.
Yekawa naturally wouldn't fly into a rage just because his Reishi was simply analyzed.
But when faced with a subordinate who had overstepped, he still needed to give a minor warning.
"Alright, don't let it happen again. Just focus on watching their fight for now!"
After Yekawa said this, Szayelaporro immediately felt the pressure on him lighten.
At this moment, Yekawa had already retracted his spiritual pressure.
...
In the Four Directions Thunder World on the left, the battle between Grimmjow and Wonderweiss had also entered a crucial stage.
"Resurrect, Thousand-Handed Emperor!"
A crimson light enveloped Wonderweiss's entire body.
"Creak, creak!"
Within the intense crimson spiritual pressure, Wonderweiss completed the reconstruction of his body. When the spiritual pressure dissipated, his true form was revealed.
He was about three meters tall, covered entirely in pale bone armor, and his golden hair had turned fiery red after Resurreccion. His back was covered with countless pale white hands, each shimmering with a crimson light. A sub-hogyoku floated on his chest.
Clearly, Wonderweiss, after ascending to Vasto Lorde and fusing with a sub-hogyoku, was fundamentally different from the Extinguishing Emperor who was specifically modified by Aizen in the original work.
The current Wonderweiss was naturally much stronger than in the original work and also retained his sanity. However, correspondingly, he did not possess the special ability to seal Ryujin Jakka. But Yekawa was not worried about this at all, because he had already obtained Yamamoto's treasure.
Seeing Wonderweiss had already undergone Resurreccion, Grimmjow, who was fighting him, merely let out a strange laugh:
"Do you think you're the only one who can do that?"
The next instant, Grimmjow held his sword in one hand and sharply dragged his other hand across the blade.
"Screech, Pantera!"
In a flash, an extremely condensed pale blue spiritual pressure surged around Grimmjow, forming a circular pillar of light that then shot into the sky.
Soon after, the spiritual pressure dissipated, and Grimmjow's Resurreccion form came into view.
At this moment, Grimmjow's Resurreccion form had undergone significant changes compared to the original work. His originally pale blue hair had turned completely white, and the single tail on his back had become two pitch-black tails entwined with blue spiritual pressure.
His upper body was bare, his lower body was covered in a white bone layer, and both his hands and feet had transformed into sharp, black claws, with the black substance on the claws extending across his body.
"That's a pretty good look!"
From his white bone throne, Yekawa commented with interest.
"Ah~"
Wonderweiss opened his mouth towards Grimmjow and spat out a crimson Cero. Grimmjow, however, swung his two panther tails, which seemed to transform into two black-and-blue light wings, then dove at high speed towards Wonderweiss, slightly dodging the incoming Cero.
With the enhancement of his twin tails, Grimmjow's Sonido speed greatly increased, allowing him to dodge the enormous hands that came rushing at him. In an instant, he reached Wonderweiss, and faint blue light swirled around the tips of his claws.
"Pfft!"
Grimmjow fiercely tore, ripping Wonderweiss's arm.
Large amounts of blood splattered, but Wonderweiss did not show a hint of pain, even a smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
At the same time, Grimmjow found that his limbs were paralyzed, as if something was firmly gripping them!
"Impossible, I clearly dodged all of your arms, so why..."
