The moment Yuta drew the strings of his Quincy bow, a terrifying spiritual pressure emanated from his body.
Even Kuchiki Rukia and Matsumoto Rangiku were seeing Yuta in this form for the first time.
They noticed his eyes, once pitch black, gradually turning into a brilliant blue as if formed from pure reishi.
There was something within those eyes that was difficult to discern, but the pressure radiating from them alone was overwhelming enough to make it impossible for them to look directly for long.
As Yuta pulled back the longbow in his hand, a massive bow of reishi manifested in the sky above.
The bow was entirely composed of spirit particles, and those particles continued to flow like sand made of stars.
When the colossal bow, stretching over a thousand meters, was drawn open, dozens of enormous arrows of equal length began to condense.
The power of the Quincy lay in using reishi to gather and manipulate spirit energy from the atmosphere, bending it for their own use. The concentration of reishi in Hueco Mundo was higher than in the Soul Society, and the abilities of a Quincy were significantly amplified here. This allowed for the easy condensation of massive arrows of pure reishi.
Under Yuta's control, not only the reishi in the atmosphere but even the reishi particles scattered across the sand beneath his feet began to gather bit by bit. They surged toward the forming arrows like rivers converging, resembling galaxies pulled together into one focus.
Several Hollows across the ground screamed as the reishi was plundered from the air and sand. Their bodies slowly disintegrated into basic spirit particles, their skin and bones broken down and consumed as fuel for the arrows above.
The display of power was enough to make the remaining beings tremble in fear.
Yuta's gaze shifted briefly to four figures below him who were engaged in a chasing game.
One was a small girl with blue hair, the remnants of an antelope-like skull mask resting broken over her head.
Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck was laughing and running with Pesche Guatikne, Dondochakka Bilstin, and Bawabawa.
Pesche resembled a human in form, his right eye covered with a purple cloth.
Dondochakka looked more like a Hollow, with a bulky body and brightly colored features that gave him something of a mascot-like appearance.
Bawabawa was a massive insect with horns on its head, though in truth it was a spirit beast hidden and normally carried within Dondochakka's body. Now it scuttled outside with them.
The sudden weight of Yuta's spiritual pressure bore down on them, suffocating and oppressive, freezing their game instantly.
Their bodies began to stiffen under the sheer force of it, and each raised their head to see Yuta shining high above with light drawn from reishi.
The instant he appeared like this, the reiryoku pressure shook the entire Hueco Mundo.
"What kind of power is this? It's terrifying," Pesche muttered in disbelief.
"Our bodies are breaking down! This is too scary..." Dondochakka said, panic clear in his voice.
Bawabawa released a low, distorted cry.
They found it difficult not only to move but even to breathe under the crushing presence.
Yet Yuta glanced toward them and casually cast a barrier that descended like an upside-down bowl, enclosing them safely.
The weight upon their bodies lifted immediately, and each of them was able to stand again. Pesche felt cold sweat dampening his back when realization hit.
The tiny Nel sat on the ground, her bare feet sticking out from clothes too large for her frame. She blinked up with wide eyes at the glowing figure in the sky.
"Who is he? How could he be this strong?"
"Look at his clothes... could he be a Shinigami?" Pesche asked.
"The scary Shinigami... what do we do?" Dondochakka said nervously.
"But... he didn't kill us," Nel whispered softly.
―――――
At the same time, Ichigo Kurosaki and his group who had entered Hueco Mundo also felt the overwhelming spiritual pressure shaking the realm.
Ichigo, gripping Zangetsu, widened his eyes. "What... is this spiritual pressure?"
Ishida Uryū's face twisted with shock. "This... this is Quincy power."
Cold sweat slid down Sado Yasutora's forehead as he clenched his fists. He had believed he had grown stronger through training with Urahara Kisuke, but this spiritual pressure made him realize the difference in scale immediately.
After entering Hueco Mundo, Ichigo's group had fought underground, Uryū and Chad each showing their new abilities to defeat the Arrancar they encountered. Just as they prepared to surface, waves of crushing pressure swept through their surroundings, causing the ceiling and even the white buildings above to disintegrate particle by particle. In the gap revealed above them, they saw Yuta shining in the sky.
"It's Yuta-san!" Ichigo shouted, stunned at the sight.
For the first time, Ichigo and his companions were truly witnessing Yuta's terrifying power directly. Under this presence, even Hueco Mundo trembled.
―――――
Elsewhere, everyone across Hueco Mundo felt the weight of that reiryoku. Every Arrancar and Hollow stiffened instinctively under the suffocating force. It was clear someone had invaded, their strength too overwhelming to ignore.
Inoue Orihime, sitting on the floor of a room, widened her eyes as she felt the familiar pressure. "This spiritual energy... it's Yuta-kun."
Across Las Noches, the Espada all reacted.
The Primera Espada, Starrk, raised his head immediately.
The Segunda Espada, Baraggan Louisenbairn, turned to the source of the disturbance.
The Trecera Espada, Harribel, crossed her arms as she looked silently toward the horizon.
The Cuarta Espada, Ulquiorra Cifer, slid his hands into his pockets, his gaze shifting upward to see the distant aura.
The Quinta Espada, Nnoitra Gilga, stiffened mid-motion, the cruel grin falling from his face as he gripped his scythe.
The Sexta Espada, Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez, froze in recognition, remembering the overwhelming force he had already experienced firsthand from Yuta.
The Séptima Espada, Zommari Rureaux, sitting atop his grotesque form, muttered with disbelief, "This... this power is more absolute than that of Aizen-sama."
The Octava Espada, Szayrelaporro Granz, paused from his research and adjusted his glasses.
The Novena Espada, Aaroniero Arruruerie, raised his mask-covered face toward the shifting reishi.
―――――
Inside Las Noches, at the Kyōka Suigetsu Palace, Ichimaru Gin and Tōsen Kaname were waiting.
Feeling the oppressive force, Tōsen exhaled slowly. "What a pity..."
Gin tilted his head slightly, arms crossed as he leaned back against the wall. "What's a pity?"
"It's a pity," Tōsen said, "that Yuta possesses such power, yet cannot understand true justice."
"You're wrong, Tōsen."
Tap. Tap. Tap.
Footsteps echoed in the corridor.
From the corner, Aizen Sōsuke appeared.
Gin and Tōsen both shifted back instinctively as Aizen approached.
In Aizen's eyes, shades of violet and black flickered faintly.
"You've already merged with the Hōgyoku?" Gin narrowed his eyes, his tone sharp with surprise.
