What?!
Royd was startled, but Liltotto didn't give him any time to react, swallowing him whole in a single bite!
She had devoured two Sternritter in one breath!
Even though the two shared a single position, their strength was still decent.
However, their primary power was built upon their abilities.
When not activating their imitate, their actual strength was quite weak.
But once imitate was activated, they could even replicate the power of Yhwach!
Yet, since Liltotto was launching a sneak attack, how could she give them the chance to activate their abilities?
Naturally, she had to strike the moment they were at their weakest, when their guard was down!
At full power, Liltotto could devour a Sternritter even in a head-on confrontation, let alone a sneak attack!
However, she now had to hurry back to Beltz so he could teleport her to One Piece.
She had to completely digest their souls in One Piece; otherwise, once fully digested, their souls would return to Yhwach's body!
Since Beltz and Liltotto had devised this plan, they had naturally prepared for the extraction long ago.
Seeing Liltotto emerge from the mirror, Beltz didn't say a word, grabbing her and entering One Piece.
The moment they entered One Piece, Liltotto and Beltz entered the Mirror World again.
After all, they had left from Pangea Castle earlier, so returning meant going back there.
Considering that the World Government's potential failure in this operation might make things dangerous for Liltotto next time, they decided to relocate while the Gorosei were away.
"How is it outside?"
Liltotto finally breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to relax.
"The fighting has already started."
Beltz had some sweat on his face: "Phew... maintaining the crossing between two worlds is quite a drain on me!"
He was currently sustaining himself and Liltotto in One Piece, as well as the Gorosei and the Knights of God in the world of Bleach.
Gurgle...
Liltotto made a strange sound and then let out a satisfied burp.
"Just in time, it's almost done."
While traveling through the Mirror World, she had already been digesting the brothers.
It was just that the final moment of complete digestion had to take place in One Piece.
When she felt the spiritual bodies of the brothers completely vanish within her, she finally relaxed entirely.
"One last step," Liltotto said, making a disgusted expression before spitting out two glowing orbs.
The two glowing orbs fell into the Mirror World, revealing themselves to be a red liquid.
"This is...?" Beltz' eyes lit up at the sight.
"It should be Yhwach's blood," Liltotto said, wiping her mouth. "I found it inside those brothers. Yhwach uses his blood to let us awaken our schrifts."
"I see, this is essentially his soul power." Beltz nodded, leaning down to look at the two pools of blood. He said solemnly, "You did the right thing. We can't take these back. Leaving them in the Mirror World is the best choice."
He wasn't sure if Yhwach still had control over this divided blood, but if he did, it would be too dangerous. Thus, it was better to leave it in One Piece for now.
"We can go back now."
After confirming there were no oversights, they prepared to return to the world of Bleach.
However, the two first emerged from the Mirror World and arrived in front of a dressing table.
This was likely the room of a female Celestial Dragon or a World Government official, but that didn't matter, as they immediately returned to the world of Bleach upon reaching the outside.
"Maintaining the mirror clone also consumes a lot of my energy. Luckily it hasn't been long, but I need to get over there quickly to avoid being discovered."
"Go ahead," Beltz said. "Be careful. If you're spotted, hide in the Mirror World."
"I know that without you telling me."
Liltotto dived back into the Mirror World, heading toward the position of her mirror clone!
...Askin Nakk Le Vaar picked up a cup of café au lait.
The weather in the Wandenreich today was still cold, dark, and somewhat dry.
But compared to most of the year, today's weather was considered decent.
He lifted the cup and took a gentle sip.
"On a day like this, one really should have a cup of warm coffee milk."
Askin savored the taste before bringing the cup to his lips again.
"Hmm?"
Just as he was about to take another sip, he paused.
Outside... what's going on?
Suddenly, an extremely powerful Reiatsu seemed to erupt not far from him.
The pressure of this Reiatsu was so intense that it was rare even among the Sternritter.
Roar!!!
In the next moment, a powerful wave of Reiatsu surged forward!
Bang!
The coffee cup in Askin's hand instantly shattered! Even the coffee inside was scattered as if by a violent hurricane!
Askin's hair was blown back wildly! He himself felt that incredibly immense pressure!
"It seems... something very bad is about to happen."
Askin's gaze became profound.
Not just him, almost all the Sternritter were shocked by this sudden, terrifying Reiatsu at this moment, but after the shock, people had different reactions.
Bazz-B leaped forward, braving the violent Haoshoku roar, charging toward that group of demon-god-like monsters.
Saint Nusjuro, in his Bakotsu form, was the fastest. He swung the Shodai Kitetsu in his hand, and the Quincy along the way were eroded by the bone-chilling cold, frozen instantly where they stood.
"Burner Finger 1!"
Bazz-B looked at the charging Bakotsu with contempt on his face. He never held anyone else in high regard besides himself. Even seeing Bakotsu with such momentum, he only used a single finger!
A beam of fire erupted from his fingertip, shooting toward Bakotsu like a high-pressure water cannon.
But Bakotsu simply swung his blade, and the fire was instantly split apart. He then looked at Bazz-B and swung his sword with one hand!
What?!
He actually blocked one of his fingers; Bazz-B was somewhat surprised. After all, his strength was considered top-tier among all the Sternritter.
He was an ancient Quincy who had lived for over a thousand years; even the power of a single finger was not something an ordinary person could withstand.
"Burner Finger... 3!"
