"IRA! BEAST!!!"
Yammy roared loudly. His body immediately began transforming under the ever-increasing spiritual pressure.
Ulquiorra's pupils contracted instantly. "Yammy?!"
Shigure's eyes moved slightly as he leaped into the air.
He hadn't expected Yammy to choose Resurrección at this moment.
His spiritual pressure began rising geometrically. Combined with the Negación's amplification, the oppressive force was completely different from before—like heaven and earth.
The small lightning swords in the air couldn't approach him temporarily under his growing spiritual pressure.
At the same time, Yammy's body kept expanding. In just a few breaths, it completely filled the entire Negación space.
Only then did his growth stop.
However, a thick layer of spiritual pressure remained fixed on his surface, preventing the Spirit-Collapsing Thunder Swords from touching his body temporarily.
This was the only weakness of Spirit-Collapsing Thunder Sword—it couldn't instantly break through excessively massive spiritual pressure.
But it was only a slight hindrance.
"Now I'm... gonna f***ing kill you!!!"
The released Yammy roared.
Ulquiorra's eyes sharpened, sensing his intention. He immediately said: "Wait... Yammy!"
But it was already too late. Yammy was completely consumed by the rage in his chest.
What controlled him now was pure fury to crush his enemy!
Yammy roared with his massive form and raised his hand, striking directly at Shigure.
The moment he lifted his hand, destructive storms swirled around them.
But suddenly, all the sword-shaped lightning surrounding Yammy converged.
They regathered, floating before Shigure, forming a lightning spear!
The instant this spear formed, Ulquiorra's expression changed again.
This spiritual pressure... something's wrong!
How... is this possible?!
It had completely exceeded Yammy even after Resurrección and Negación amplification!
Ulquiorra instinctively wanted to call out a warning.
But the lightning spear shot forward, rushing toward Yammy's massive palm.
In his rage, Yammy's spiritual pressure kept rising. He fearlessly swung at the lightning spear.
"Watch me... destroy you!!!"
BANG!!
When the spear contacted his palm and spiritual pressure, it met absolutely no resistance and pierced straight through!
But the spear didn't exit—instead, it remained lodged in his palm.
Continuous explosive thunder sounds rang out endlessly.
"GAAAHHH!!!"
Yammy's eyes turned red as he roared, trying to attack Shigure again.
But the moment he raised his hand, he discovered with horror that his spiritual pressure was actually declining!
No... this wasn't decline!
It was being decomposed by that lightning spear!!
When he realized this, Ulquiorra below naturally understood too.
He acted decisively in almost an instant.
SLASH!
He unhesitatingly severed Yammy's hand!
After all, with his spiritual power continuously decomposing, his Hierro hardness was extremely low.
Even without Resurrección, Ulquiorra could easily cut it off.
But things weren't as simple as they'd imagined.
After the hand was severed, his spiritual pressure loss didn't stop—it accelerated!
Ulquiorra's pupils contracted sharply. For the first time, he felt real crisis.
At this moment, Shigure's gaze looked over coldly, lightning blazing in his palm.
"Your turn next."
WHOOSH!
The thunderstorms around him instantly became dense lightning swords, bursting and swirling as they flew directly toward Ulquiorra!
But suddenly, something unexpected happened.
Yammy swept his massive body with incredible speed, crashing directly into Ulquiorra.
That direction... was toward the Garganta!
At the same time, all the lightning swords that had just flown over pierced into Yammy's body.
Shigure's eyes moved. He instantly understood Yammy's intention.
With an extreme Shunpo, he reached Ulquiorra's side and struck without hesitation!
Before Ulquiorra's body even stopped moving, the crescent-shaped lightning blast hit him directly.
Ulquiorra's pupils tightened. This Shunpo speed... was beyond anything he'd imagined!
Far exceeding what he could comprehend!
He couldn't react in time. His left side was severed by lightning!
The spurting blood instantly vaporized, and the cut surface immediately turned charred black.
Shigure's expression remained cold. Without any mercy, Spirit-Collapsing Thunder Swords appeared around him again.
They instantly rushed toward the half-bodied Ulquiorra.
PIERCE!
The lightning sword penetrated his body without any resistance!
Shigure intended to move forward for a finishing blow, but Yammy suddenly roared again.
He swung once more, directly knocking the lightning-pierced Ulquiorra into the Garganta!
Ulquiorra's breathing stopped abruptly. He looked back at Yammy in shock.
His attention had been entirely on Shigure. He never imagined Yammy's purpose was actually... helping him escape!
The Garganta began gradually closing. Yammy heavily lowered his head and arms.
Under the Spirit-Collapsing Thunder Spear's effect, his spiritual pressure had been decomposed to almost nothing.
Seeing this scene, Ulquiorra in the Garganta felt his soul tremble.
He slowly turned his head, looking at Shigure standing in the air in the instant before the Garganta closed.
At this moment, he finally understood somewhat.
Why before this departure, Aizen had said those words to them.
Shigure's expression remained cold as he said quietly:
"If you can make it back to Las Noches alive..."
"Give Aizen my regards."
