"There are even Gillians participating in this hunting tournament? This is a perfect chance to try out my newly mastered Shikai!"
A noble scion, dressed in a soul reaper uniform and participating in the hunting tournament, looked at the sudden appearance of the Gillian swarm in the arena, eager to try his hand. He immediately released his Zanpakuto and charged forward.
"No, these Menos Grande masks don't have soul chain marks. Their spiritual pressure hasn't been restricted; they aren't domesticated!"
At this moment, some noble scions also reacted, retreating backward one after another. However, how could these noble scions, long out of battle, be a match for these untamed Gillians?
The noble scion who had just been clamoring to test his Zanpakuto was now flying back in two pieces, with the other half in the mouth of a Gillian.
"No!"
In the courtyard, a middle-aged man dressed in noble attire watched the noble scion in the hunting ground, whose half-body was still struggling, and couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
At this moment, the many nobles watching from above finally realized that an anomaly had occurred in the hunting ground.
"Yamada Vice-Captain, quickly save my son?"
The middle-aged noble, seeing that his offspring was reduced to half in the hunting ground, immediately shouted anxiously towards Yamada Seinosuke.
Although Yamada Seinosuke was the Vice-Captain of the Fourth Division, the healing squad, his actual combat strength was not weaker than the Vice-Captains of other squads. Just as Yamada Seinosuke drew his Asauchi and was about to rush into the barrier to save someone, he found someone was faster than him.
Ito Makoto had already rushed into the hunting ground and began to continuously cut down the Gillians in front of him!
On Kazumichi Asayuki's face in the distant pavilion, there was not a trace of panic. She still calmly watched the chaotic scene in the hunting ground.
It was only when she saw Ito Makoto charging into the hunting ground that a hint of surprise appeared on her beautiful face.
Immediately, this woman actually took off her luxurious robe, symbolizing the head of the Xia Da Lu Family, revealing the soul reaper uniform she was wearing underneath. She directly used Shunpo to rush into the barrier, shouting:
"Ito Fourth Seat, I'm here to help you!"
However, what no one noticed was that the moment she entered the barrier, a charm quietly floated towards the barrier in her hand!
Seeing this, Yamada Seinosuke also led a group of Gotei 13 who were originally only guarding the periphery, intending to enter the barrier to hunt these suddenly appearing Gillian swarms!
But as they approached the barrier, they found that they could not break through it from the outside.
"Hadō #31 - Akahō (Red Flame Cannon)!"
"Hadō #33 - Sōkatsui!"
"Hadō #3…"
Yamada Seinosuke and a group of Gotei 13 simultaneously cast Hado towards the barrier, but these attacks were like mud oxen entering the sea, causing no ripples. This barrier became difficult to enter from the outside after Kazumichi Asayuki went in.
Moreover, the entire barrier was now obscured by a thick mist, making it impossible to see the situation inside from the outside!
"This hunting tournament was organized by the Fifth Divsion. Go quickly and invite Captain Aizen!"
Yamada Seinosuke pointed to a Gotei 13 next to him, speaking anxiously, while secretly regretting in his heart.
"If only I had known, I wouldn't have agreed to Tokinada Tsunayashiro to get involved in this mess!"
Inside the barrier, Ito Makoto found that there were too many annoying Gillians blocking the way. To save time, he directly held his sword horizontally:
"Chimi Shinra, Moryo Bansho, Shoshin Shosei, Kaijin Tochi, Soumetsu!"
"Soumetsu Secret Technique - Four Directions Realm!"
In an instant, a massive gray-black square barrier nearly overlapped with the original giant barrier that covered several kilometers of the hunting ground.
The moment they were enveloped by the barrier, hundreds of Gillians had their movements restricted, becoming extremely sluggish!
"Soumetsu First Form - Quake!"
Ito Makoto flicked his blade, directly activating the power of vibration. Because the Four Directions Realm covered an extremely wide area this time, the power of the vibration inevitably decreased. Additionally, Ito Makoto did not want to expose his Squad Captain level strength too early, so he temporarily did not borrow spiritual pressure from his main body.
Therefore, his vibration power only caused hundreds of Gillians to suffer unbearable pain, temporarily losing all ability to move within the barrier!
But it was enough!
Without these annoying Gillians blocking the way, Ito Makoto headed straight for the last of the dozens of steel gates.
He felt a massive spiritual pressure in that gate, a spiritual pressure belonging to a Hollow.
Ito Makoto directly turned into an afterimage and rushed in. He didn't expect that after passing through this last steel gate, there was actually a hidden world, which was like a long, narrow corridor inside.
He walked to the very end of the corridor and saw a humanoid Menos Grande whose body was pierced by countless steel needles made of Kido.
It was about five meters tall, humanoid in form, with a dark blue body and an extremely large head. Behind it were dozens of pale hands, and each hand was now nailed to the wall by thumbtacks imbued with Kido power!
Its entire body was bound by iron chains, its eyes were covered with black cloth, and even its mouth was gagged with bandages imbued with Kido power.
The spiritual pressure emitted by this Hollow was stronger than Grimmjow, who had just become an Adjuchas, but not as strong as Harribel, or Ulquiorra before his first Arrancar transformation. It was clearly one of the most extreme existences among Adjuchas, and seemed not far from Vasto Lorde.
"Roar!"
Feeling Ito Makoto's presence, this Menos Grande let out an angry roar from its large mouth beneath the bandages.
"Wonderweiss Margela!"
Ito Makoto tentatively spoke.
"Who… are you? How… do you know my name?"
A rather childish voice sounded, forming a stark contrast with the terrifying appearance of the Menos Grande in front of him.
"Indeed!"
This Menos Grande, pinned to the wall, was indeed Wonderweiss! He had not yet been modified and Arrancarized by Aizen, and clearly possessed the ability to think and speak!
Initially, the moment Ito Makoto saw Fleur, he thought it was Aizen's doing again. But then he reconsidered: Aizen had already conquered Hueco Mundo at this time and had the entire Hueco Mundo for experiments, so he wouldn't need to pull off such a stunt.
Then there was only one explanation: this action was Fleur's independent behavior. If anything could attract Fleur, it could only be his friend and master, Wonderweiss!
"Who I am isn't important. What's important is that I can get you out of here! Don't resist later; just follow me!"
"Okay!"
Receiving Wonderweiss's affirmative reply, Ito Makoto directly cut through the Kido chains binding him with a few slashes and removed the bandages from his face.
"Roar!"
Unexpectedly, the moment the seal was lifted, Wonderweiss immediately turned against Ito Makoto and roared at him.
"A beast is a beast!"
Facing Wonderweiss's sudden counterattack, Ito Makoto did not hesitate at all and directly borrowed 30% of his main body's spiritual pressure, his strength skyrocketing to Squad Captain level.
Coupled with the amplification effect of the Four Directions Realm, Ito Makoto placed Soumetsu directly at Wonderweiss's neck with a speed that Wonderweiss could not comprehend.
"Either be quiet and I'll send you back to Hueco Mundo, or I'll send you to hell right now. You choose!"
Under Ito Makoto's 'friendly persuasion,' Wonderweiss finally quieted down.
Outside the steel gate, Kazumichi Asayuki did not kill any of the Gillians controlled by Ito Makoto's vibration power, but instead leisurely strolled through the barrier.
"Kasumioji… Head, save… save me!"
The noble scion who had been bitten in half was surprisingly still holding on. He looked at Kazumichi Asayuki, who was slowly walking towards him, as if he had seen a savior, and begged for help.
"Okay, Sasakura, hold on, I'm coming to save you!"
Kazumichi Asayuki moved her lotus steps lightly, slowly approaching the half-bodied Sasakura.
"Pfft!"
The next moment, a long sword, entirely silver-white, with a slender blade covered in strange patterns, suddenly appeared in Kazumichi Asayuki's hand, and then fiercely plunged into Sasakura's chest.
"Whoosh~"
"You…"
A sucking sound actually came from the blade. After a moment, Sasakura's half-body was left with only a tattered half-set of soul reaper uniform!
After devouring Sasakura, Kazumichi Asayuki gently caressed the strange silver-white long sword in her hand, and a sinister and sickly smile appeared on her beautiful face.
"Don't rush, my darling. There's so much true blood here for you to devour. Today, I'll make sure you eat your fill!"
