"Gran Rey Cero."
The calm words fell. In an instant, the pitch-black Cero beam shot forth!
At that moment, the entire space was completely occupied, saturated by this boundless darkness!
The two Sternritters on the side initially wanted to avoid being caught in the blast by manipulating spirit particles, but... this Reiatsu was extremely pure, highly concentrated Hollow Reiatsu!
And Hollow spirit particles, to Quincy... were like deadly poison!
Not to mention manipulating them—merely deep contact could dissolve their cells!
Moreover, the power of this Hollow Reiatsu... had already far exceeded their imagination!
The reason the Wandenreich began subjugating Arrancar in Hueco Mundo before invading Soul Society—
It wasn't just for low-level forces or a base of operations, but more importantly... concern over the danger Hollows posed.
Just as Quincy naturally countered Shinigami, Hollows likewise countered Quincy!
And this relationship naturally became the greatest danger factor in the Wandenreich Quincy's eyes.
Yet they never imagined—
That Segawa Shigure, a noble-born orthodox Shinigami, would actually... possess Hollow blood!
These two Sternritters had initially planned to assess the situation before deciding whether to help Sternritter "J" Quilge Opie.
But they never expected that in less than one minute, Segawa Shigure would directly break through 'The Jail' and instantly kill Quilge with a Cero!
And next, he unleashed the ultimate Cero of high-level Arrancar...
Gran Rey Cero!
The moment he began gathering this Reiatsu, the surrounding space could no longer withstand it!
This forced both of them to quickly arrive here from the Wandenreich.
Because the mission Yhwach gave them was to do everything possible to keep Segawa Shigure here and, if possible... analyze his Bankai to complete the plunder.
This was why he dispatched Schutzstaffel members.
Because he already understood that ordinary Sternritters couldn't possibly be opponents.
They could only stall for time. To truly analyze Bankai required someone with tremendous power.
From the moment 'The Jail' successfully imprisoned him and the shadow space successfully expanded, their plan had proceeded smoothly.
However, the core of this plan was...
To successfully force out Segawa Shigure's Bankai within this shadow space and analyze it.
But the current situation... had been completely disrupted!
Forget using Bankai—he hadn't even drawn his Zanpakuto!
With just a single ordinary Cero, he effortlessly annihilated Quilge in Vollständig!
Blut was directly ignored before this overwhelming power!
And now, the more critical situation was...
This temporarily constructed shadow space couldn't possibly withstand such terrifying Hollow Reiatsu!
Once Gran Rey Cero successfully released, the entire space would completely collapse in an instant!
In other words, Segawa Shigure would return to Soul Society!
Though they could still find ways to entangle him, the plan would have already failed!
If they couldn't analyze his Bankai, Yhwach absolutely wouldn't forgive them!
Thinking this, from beneath the hood of the Sternritter on the left came a loud shout:
"Stop him AHHH!! Askin!!!"
This voice had a clear tone, like a sunshine-filled youth.
However, at this moment, the only emotions filling it were fear, shock, and helplessness!
Hearing this, the Sternritter opposite showed no intention of responding. Instead, he remained silent.
The next moment, his figure suddenly leaped from the shadow world, directly disappearing back into the Wandenreich!
Seeing this, the roaring Sternritter froze completely.
He couldn't fail to see—
Askin... had fled!!
Realizing this, his entire body went ice cold.
Even this member of His Majesty's Schutzstaffel chose direct escape, which meant this attack... they couldn't stop at all!!
Thinking this, he bit down hard and prepared to use shadow movement to escape as well.
But just as he prepared to act, that pitch-black Cero had already completely saturated the entire space!
The next instant, the highly concentrated Hollow Reiatsu exploded!
BOOM!!!!
The moment the Reiatsu erupted, it completely ignored the shadow opening the Quincy had created, directly destroying it completely!
"Your... Your Majesty AAAAHHHHH!!!!!!"
Heart-wrenching screams rang out. This Sternritter's soul, at that moment, instantly annihilated!
From his appearance to death—less than five seconds!
He had no time to use Blut, Vollständig... or even his Schrift!
Before the overwhelming Gran Rey Cero, death arrived instantly!
CRACK!!!!
The next moment, the entire shadow space completely shattered!
Glass-like spirit particle fragments, before this pitch-black Reiatsu... evaporated completely!
