For Nilu, Kanbaru is probably the most important existence in her heart.
Even for Kanbaru, Nilu—who detests fighting—began to yearn for power. She wanted to help Kanbaru and become someone useful to him.
Even if it meant she had to fight.
Anyone who is hostile to Kanbaru must be eliminated.
No chances to hurt Kanbaru—
Absolutely none.
The tenderness in Nilu's eyes completely vanished, replaced by overwhelming rage and instinctual madness.
Facing someone trying to harm Kanbaru, the deep-buried Hollow instinct within Nilu—her violent, primal instinct—was awakened.
She snapped.
Soft-red Reiatsu exploded outward. In the next instant, Nilu vanished as if she had never stood there.
Tsunayashiro, who was mid-fall, widened his eyes just before blood erupted from his mouth. He tumbled like a ragdoll hit by a runaway freight train.
He was completely overwhelmed—by someone he believed was merely an Adjuchas!
"N-No… that's not an Adjuchas-class Hollow... You're Vasto Lorde!"
Tsunayashiro Kotani coughed blood and slowly picked himself up, staring at the queen of Hueco Mundo advancing toward him, her cold gaze unblinking.
There was no mistaking it.
The sheer pressure—the suffocating weight in the air, the spiritual aura that didn't seem to have an upper limit—was unmistakable.
This was the terrifying Reiatsu of a Vasto Lorde—the most elite and human-like class of Menos Grande.
So rare that even the Espada were mostly composed of just a few Vasto Lorde-class beings.
Crushing, absolute, lethal.
Just a hint of her Reiatsu made his lungs seize and his heart race erratically.
He felt as though an invisible hand clutched his heart.
A squeeze—and he would be gone.
That was the fear induced by a being near the peak of Hollow evolution.
"This is impossible..."
Tsunayashiro Kotani's previously unwavering confidence cracked. Fear overtook his eyes.
All reports labeled Neliel Tu Odelschwanck—formerly known as Nelliel—as an Adjuchas.
Was the Gotei 13's intelligence division completely incompetent?!
How could a Vasto Lorde be reported as an Adjuchas?
And more importantly...
Why the hell is a Vasto Lorde following a Quincy?!
No time to analyze.
She disappeared again.
Can't see her.
Can't track her.
Her Sonído was beyond the Captain-class standard—faster than any step technique he had experienced.
And then—he was launched into the air once more.
A graceful silhouette emerged right in front of him—Nilu. Her indifferent eyes locked onto him.
She placed her hand on his face—
—and slammed his skull straight into the earth.
BOOM.
The sound shook the area. The tremors could be felt from kilometers away.
That... was the raw destructive power of the Queen of Hueco Mundo.
Uncompromising. Unrestrained. A whirlwind of dominance.
"It seems we all underestimated you, Mr. Mie Que Shi."
Aura Michihane observed the scene calmly, her eyes glittering with amusement.
Even in a battlefield reversal like this, her tone didn't lose its teasing lilt.
Then she turned to Tsunayashiro:
"Mr. Shinigami, do you still need my help?"
Crunch.
Tsunayashiro Kotani stood, barely.
He looked utterly wrecked.
His forehead was dripping blood, his face nearly masked in red.
His arm—fractured from blocking—hung limp. Several ribs had clearly shattered.
Every breath was agony.
Every moment screamed pain.
Normal humans would've passed out from shock long ago.
"Maybe... I should accept help."
He gave a strained smile that turned into a wince, and finally muttered the humiliating words for aid.
Vasto Lorde-class Menos are at least Captain-class in Reiatsu, often exceeding it.
But how powerful is one who transcends even the Vasto Lorde threshold?
He didn't know.
But he knew he stood no chance against Nilu.
And yet—
Without hesitation, Aura Michihane gave a small shrug and... left.
She abandoned him.
That woman never had any intent to fight.
"Damn it..."
Kotani's expression darkened.
Without Aura, he was doomed against Nilu—
Especially with Kanbaru watching coldly, ready to strike.
Only now did Tsunayashiro Kotani realize—
A Quincy who commands loyalty from a Vasto Lorde is no ordinary Captain-class.
He had to escape.
Even releasing his Zanpakutō and activating Bankai would do nothing.
His attacks likely wouldn't even pierce her Hierro.
Their Reiatsu levels were not in the same realm.
He had to warn Tsunayashiro Tokinada.
If they continued to underestimate Kanbaru, Tokinada-sama himself might pay the price.
Escape!
Kotani thought through his options, showing the calm analysis of a true Captain.
But it was too late.
Nilu didn't forgive. She didn't spare.
She struck from the sky like a divine punishment, blasting him into the ground and creating a crater.
"A Vasto Lorde-class Arrancar... What a monster..."
Tsunayashiro Kotani spat blood, his vision darkening.
He knew—this might be it.
Overwhelming power. Despairing suppression.
His thoughts slowed—Reiatsu drowned his mind.
This was the end.
This was what it meant to face a Vasto Lorde.

"Why did the Shinigami attack us?"
Kurosaki Masaki had changed into a casual blouse and a knee-length skirt.
Yes, with safety shorts underneath.
"Because we're Quincy, of course."
Kanbaru snorted, brushing off dust from Nilu's hair as he held her hand.
"Plenty of mad scientists and nobles want our bloodline for their own twisted projects."
After returning to Kanbaru's side, Nilu instantly reverted from her brutal, rampaging state—back to the gentle, docile woman she always was with him.
The contrast was jarring—and strangely adorable.
"So... they're trying to use us as test subjects again?"
Masaki frowned. Then her eyes narrowed.
"Wait—who was that woman earlier?"
"Michihane Aura. A human Fullbringer who can use Kidō."
Kanbaru said while casually glancing at her thighs.
Masaki, noticing his line of sight, gave a sharp snort—half proud, half annoyed.
"Kidō? Humans can use Kidō now?"
She blinked. That didn't sound right.
In the Soul Society, Kidō—divided into Hadō, Bakudō, and Kaidō—was considered exclusive to Shinigami, requiring years of spiritual training and high Reiryoku.
"She's... different."
Kanbaru gave a noncommittal nod.
"Different? Yeah, no kidding..." Masaki muttered, casting a sidelong glance at Aura's impressive chest.
"...What was that?" Kanbaru asked, feigning innocence.
"Nothing. Just random thoughts."
Masaki shook her head, then perked up.
"You going after her?"
Kanbaru was about to reply, but Masaki had already jumped on his back.
"I'm coming too!"
Kanbaru caught her by the thighs, adjusting her weight.
...Okay, not bad.
Real nice, actually.
