Time rewinds to when the Schutzstaffel made their appearance.
At this moment, after everyone had appeared...
These Schutzstaffel members, totaling just a few people, looked at each other.
Lille, as the captain, spoke in a bland tone.
"Askin, make your move."
"Okay, okay... please don't rush me..."
That guy was completely like a worker being exploited by management, drawing out his words at this moment, looking exhausted, the complete image of a drained employee.
So tired, but there's no choice... after all, not working means losing his life.
Purple light wings appeared behind him, violet-purple light dust swirled and gathered in the air, all converging behind him at this moment.
Spiritual pressure was rapidly increasing at a visibly noticeable rate.
This steadily climbing momentum made everyone present take notice, and at the same time... those observing from below also realized something was wrong.
"That... is that Askin?!"
Liltotto, leading the Quincy remnants, widened her eyes slightly.
Her pupils contracted violently at this moment, as if she had already anticipated something, clenching her teeth tightly.
Using all her strength, she shouted loudly.
"Can't let him act... we have to stop him!"
No time to explain.
She could only express her attitude this way.
So what about the others' reactions?
The first to respond was actually the seemingly calmest Squad Two captain who had no interest in the Quincy group... Sui-Feng.
This guy had already released her Zanpakutō almost reflexively.
Suzumebachi Raigon Senko!!!
The Bankai enhancement made the opponent's spiritual pressure show exponential growth.
The surging explosive energy now took the form of waves spreading out.
Many captain-level figures couldn't help but glance sideways at this moment.
This guy's strength... had greatly improved compared to before. So she had been secretly progressing behind the scenes?
Quite a few people could realize this.
And the facts were indeed so.
After all, those willing to fight at this moment held nothing back... Squad Zero had also not hidden anything, sharing some relatively professional training experiences with the Gotei 13 members.
The fully loaded Raigon Senko began violent reactions.
As light and heat began surging, near the tail section, the propulsion system began roaring like a lion...
Fire!
Bang!!!
In this thunderous roar that could make ears ring, everyone could only see the Raigon Senko continuously ascending, with fearsome spiritual pressure swirling around it.
Ōmaeda's reaction was the most direct.
This guy raised his head, stretched his thick neck, and let out a hoarse shout at this moment.
"Don't just stand there stupidly... dodge quickly!"
He knew his captain's methods best—the Raigon Senko's explosion didn't distinguish between friend and foe. Lieutenant-level and above could avoid being affected, but those below would be in trouble.
However, things didn't seem that simple.
Because the next moment, Ōmaeda saw a tall, strong guy walk out from the Quincy team.
Clear wing outlines also appeared on his body... his bare upper body showed muscular contours, and a mask covering the upper half of his face...
And his exposed mouth now showed a proud and flamboyant smile.
This guy... seemed strangely, terrifyingly happy about what was about to happen.
"Is this your ability? Hey hey hey, doesn't look very impressive!"
He laughed heartily.
At this moment, he extended his right hand.
Making a grasping motion...
Then, the air began to distort.
Behind him appeared a majestic and broad figure. This giant shadow assembled from air appeared in a posture over a hundred meters tall, at this moment mimicking his behavior and also extending its right hand.
The giant shadow caught the Raigon Senko.
"What?!"
Sui-Feng's eyes showed some disbelief, as this was her first time experiencing such a situation.
—Who would catch this thing with their hand?!
The propulsion system for shooting was still continuously active. The Raigon Senko gripped in the giant's palm was like a violently struggling stallion, beginning to roll wildly!
"Pretty lively, isn't it!"
So, how about this?
Under everyone's horrified gazes, the giant clasped both hands together, forcefully controlling the Raigon Senko in its palm for a moment.
Of course, this balance couldn't last too long. After all, the essence of the Raigon Senko wasn't some 'physical object', but a spiritual power mass in another sense.
It would explode.
"Hey, Gerard."
Lille called his companion's name, at this moment just saying blandly.
"Don't waste time playing with this thing. Don't let it affect Askin."
"Hey, got it!"
The grinning guy puffed out his chest high, making a breathing motion...
He opened his mouth.
And bit toward his hands.
The giant formed from mixed air, at this moment imitating his movements... performed the exact same action.
It swallowed the Raigon Senko whole into its mouth.
"...?!!!"
This stunned even Sui-Feng for a moment.
Obviously... whether the opponent's behavior or judgment, both made her feel completely unacceptable.
The Raigon Senko was something that could be eaten?!
"This madman!"
The next moment.
Sui-Feng pressed the 'switch' in her heart.
In that instant of switching, the spiritual power mass exploded completely.
Crack crack crack crack crack...
The spiritual power that had been bound, tied, restricted, and thus confined to a fixed shape, now presented an explosive form that couldn't be ignored.
It was going to explode.
Boom!!!
Violent roaring accompanied the surging energy.
Layer upon layer of explosions mixed with light and heat began to intersect and collide, finally forming a terrifying momentum like a chain reaction.
Gurgle gurgle gurgle gurgle...
The giant's head now showed a tendency to constantly expand.
Like an invisible monster rampaging and gnawing inside its brain, even the onlookers couldn't help but show fearful expressions.
Was it going to 'explode'?!
But the result wasn't so.
Because such violent reactions couldn't last too long.
After a few breaths of pause, the giant's deformed head gradually became calm.
The person called Gerard also slowly loosened his hands at this moment.
The corners of his mouth couldn't stop curving upward. Along with the motion of straightening his back, his chest also puffed out.
"Gahahaha! Very interesting taste... bring me more! Hey Soul Reaper, don't make me feel bored!"
Gerard, who had completely entered his state, spread his arms wide.
"My name is Gerard Valkyrie! I am one of the Schutzstaffel members!"
As if to embrace this world, he shouted loudly at this moment.
"I will only remember the names of true strong ones. Try your best to please me! Soul Reapers, Arrancar, abandoned Quincy!"
After this high-pitched tone like a war declaration.
The response...
Was streak after streak of pitch-black light beams.
Space was violently torn apart, showing a fragmented tendency. Ear-ringing roars echoed in the air, making everyone take notice at this moment.
The Arrancar had made their move.
This group originally didn't care much about moral concepts.
Since the opponent had already started provoking? Then what were they waiting for... attack! Get him!
Espada-level power was extraordinary to begin with, and now with the small Hōgyoku's enhancement, it showed an even more exaggerated degree.
"Ha! Arrancar Cero? I haven't had a good chance to try it before. Let me taste your..."
Before he could finish.
Because the next moment, Haschwalth had already appeared directly in front of him.
He held a shield, calmly blocking all the Cero that rushed toward him, and said blandly at this moment.
"Hollow power contains toxins for us. When conditions allow, don't easily use your body to take them head-on."
Although there was nothing wrong with his behavior.
But obviously... the other party didn't seem very appreciative.
Gerard's smile sagged slightly, but facing Haschwalth's warning, he couldn't say anything rude at this moment.
Although it's a long story, it was actually just a fleeting moment.
After all, there were few who could react and launch attacks in such a short time.
More people could only temporarily prepare to act but hadn't begun moving at all...
However, at this time.
Askin, protected in the innermost layer, was already wearing a completely work-weary expression, saying in a 'finally finished' tone at this moment.
"Done~ Everyone, shall we arrange things according to the plan?"
Askin had results.
Haschwalth was the first to respond before Lille.
"According to the previous plan, begin."
With these words decided.
Askin quietly rolled his eyes.
His right hand rose high toward the sky at this moment, with his index finger raised high, pointing straight up at the sky.
Vollständig: Poison Field.
A circle of purple light began to spread hazily.
Like layer upon layer of waves, it now engulfed and included everyone at a speed no one could react to.
Askin's ability was unleashed to its utmost degree at this moment.
Schrift D: The Deathdealing.
Askin could calculate, compare, and adjust various subtle variables in an individual's environment, causing the individual and environment to lose balance...
Well~
Although it sounds complicated when explained.
But it was actually just a very simple matter.
For instance, Askin could adjust the oxygen content in the air, making everything within his influence range become 'more deadly'.
A literal large-scale weapon of mass destruction.
Facing the current situation where everyone was standing together, this was the best opportunity to 'catch them all in one net'.
Askin's lips began to turn somewhat pale. After all, the range he could influence was already quite limited, and now forcibly expanding his ability to this extent...
This was itself a kind of 'overclocking calculation'.
It was killing him...
But compared to being subjected to Auswählen by Yhwach on the spot, having his tendons pulled and skin peeled, this kind of thing was still relatively 'simple'.
His ability began to spread.
The invisible air was tainted with Askin's unique ability. The content of various elements began to lose balance, gradually becoming an 'abnormal' trend.
Soon.
People began showing adverse reactions.
Soul Reapers, Arrancar, and Quincy struggled and fell to the ground, convulsing and opening their mouths at this moment, all showing painful and struggling expressions.
"What... what is this?!"
"Hey, what are you doing to us!!!"
"Wait, wait... this is, ah..."
Screams came one after another.
The scene almost instantly began to lose control.
Captain-level strength could still maintain normalcy, but their subordinates definitely couldn't achieve this level...
Hitsugaya looked around, his expression also becoming somewhat panicked.
"This... hey! How can we solve this problem?!"
Hitsugaya looked into the distance, trying to find a solution from the Quincy group.
Liltotto, equally panicked at this moment, frowned tightly and could only shout toward the distance in response.
"Kill him... go kill Askin! Interrupt his actions!"
No other way besides this?
Then do it!
"Ahh!!!"
Roaring Hitsugaya pushed his power with all his might. An ice dragon appeared beside him, and the air became stiff and cold.
What should have been cold power now boiled like flames.
Daiguren Hyōrinmaru, driven by emotion, showed unparalleled presence.
A pale ice dragon appeared in the air. It opened its huge mouth, roaring as it crashed toward Askin's direction.
However, the giant appeared again at this moment.
Gerard's power surged forth. The giant assembled from air grabbed the roaring ice dragon at this moment, and both sides almost instantly began wrestling.
Evenly matched?
Perhaps not...
"Now's not the time to delay!"
Komamura roared as he charged forward. The Zanpakutō in his hand rapidly twisted and transformed at this moment...
Until a figure appeared in the air that was no smaller than the air giant.
Bankai: Kokujō Tengen Myō'ō!!!
The figure wearing black armor appeared silently. It had no imposing presence but seemed so majestic and mighty at this moment.
Just one close collision, and both sides instantly began wrestling.
Giants fell from the sky.
Both sides' fists continuously crossed.
Their mutual pummeling had no restraint whatsoever. Almost every collision erupted with attention-grabbing thunderous sounds.
Wave after wave...
One surge higher than another!!!
At this moment, those who were relatively calm and had made sufficient preparations...
Also began to act.
