"It's over…"
"Kyoraku Shunsui got the worst luck, facing that monster!"
"Seeing this, I'm glad I haven't shown up. I'd rather not get slaughtered by that freak Quincy!"
"Being a spectator isn't so bad—at least we don't have to deal with these monsters!"
In the real world, at the Visored's abandoned warehouse, the group was shaken, still reeling from the darkened screen.
Rubbing his temples, Hirako Shinji said worriedly, "Don't forget, the next one tied for seventh is another pure-blood Quincy—probably that giant soldier."
"If I'm right, the next round will pick up right where that battle left off."
His mind flashed to Kenpachi Zaraki's Bankai, slicing Gerard Valkyrie in half. His expression darkened.
"I agree," Muguruma Kensei nodded, analyzing grimly. "These Schutzstaffel have insane vitality. Kenpachi's probably going to end up like Kyoraku after that swing."
He could already picture Kenpachi collapsing, exhausted, after his Bankai faded.
"With subordinates this terrifying, I can't imagine how strong the Quincy King is!" Hiyori Sarugaki shivered, recalling Yhwach's menacing face.
Flash!
The screen flickered back to life, shifting to a new battle scene.
Boom!
A deafening crash echoed, amplified through the video, nearly deafening the audience.
"Look! It's the giant soldier!"
The camera revealed Gerard Valkyrie, his body enlarged thousands of times by his Miracle ability. His massive form barely fit in the frame.
Sharp-eyed viewers spotted a cluster of tiny figures at his feet—Shinigami captains who had survived the grueling battles: Hinamori Momo, Hirako Shinji, Kuchiki Byakuya, Kuchiki Rukia, Abarai Renji, and more.
The Gotei 13 held their breath, scrutinizing each figure.
"Captain Kuchiki…" Renji smacked his lips, stunned. "It's back to that battle, but I didn't expect to be there too!"
He could feel his future self's strength—his aura rivaling Byakuya's current power.
His body trembled with excitement. The future me finally gets to shine!
"Don't get too excited, Renji," Byakuya said gravely. "We're clearly at a disadvantage."
Gerard's overwhelming spiritual pressure and colossal size could crush them with a single step.
"Disadvantage? Not necessarily!" Renji countered. "We outnumber him. Size doesn't always mean strength!"
Drawing from his experience fighting Gillian-class Hollows, Renji assumed Gerard was just a big, scary target—perfect for a group beatdown.
Byakuya didn't respond, his silence heavy. After witnessing the Schutzstaffel's absurd abilities, even his pride wouldn't let him underestimate a pure-blood Quincy.
Sure enough—
"Shinigami captains…" Gerard's voice boomed like thunder, shaking Silbern. "First, I must commend you for injuring me so severely. This is the first time I've grown this large using The Miracle!"
His casual words sent shockwaves through the audience.
"This is ridiculous!"
"Just his voice is bursting my eardrums!"
"He grew that huge because of injuries?"
"Does that mean the more he's hurt, the bigger and stronger he gets? That's insane!"
As Gerard revealed his power, fear spread across the Bleach world.
But there was one exception.
In Las Noches, the atmosphere shifted. The Arrancars turned their gazes to a corner of the room, locking onto Yammy Llargo.
"Yammy…" Ulquiorra said expressionlessly. "This giant Quincy's ability seems quite similar to your Ira form."
"Tch, Ulquiorra, you're wrong!" Yammy grinned savagely, clenching his fists. "He needs to be injured to gain power. I only need rage to grow stronger endlessly!"
"Anger trumps injury any day. My Ira form is far superior to that Quincy!"
Yammy's voice grew louder, echoing through Las Noches.
"In the next ranking… I, Yammy Llargo, the Zero Espada of Hueco Mundo, will claim the sixth spot!"
The mood shifted dramatically. While the Gotei 13 worried for their captains, Yammy's arrogance soared.
After being beaten down since the first ranking, Yammy suddenly felt he was back in the game!
