Chapter 438: Facing the Great Hollow, the Pig Slaughter Boy
Chapter 438: Facing the Great Hollow, the Pig Slaughter Boy
"Well, with Ichigo group, they're both students and classmates, so it's not wrong to consider this an alternative kind of club activity."
However, today's club activity seemed a little too lively, as these kids had gone overboard. Wouldn't they fear not being able to control the situation in the end?
"Kouetsu, I'm going out for a bit. Are you staying home, or coming with me?"
As a Shinigami and master of Kido, Yecheng and Koetsu naturally sensed the chaos in Karakura Town today. The city was almost entirely filled with spiritual pressure from the Hollows!
At the same time Yecheng and his group left, on the other side of Karakura Town, Ichigo Kurosaki and his group were also shocked by the appearance of a black abyss in the city's sky.
Ishida Uryu, the instigator, held his bow and arrow with a face filled with terror and regret.
"Damn it, what the hell did you do?!"
Seeing Ishida Uryu's shocked expression, Ichigo directly questioned a bespectacled boy who called himself the "last Quincy."
"This is impossible! The bait I scattered should only attract a portion of the regular Hollows. Why is this happening?!"
Ishida Uryu looked at the dense rain of Hollows falling from the sky with disbelief.
As a Quincy, he indeed had special bait that could attract Hollows in the city. Ishida Uryu had only intended to inform Ichigo that there was a Quincy in the city, and there was no need for a Shinigami to protect it.
Quincies and Shinigami are mortal enemies, which was why Ishida Uryu initially targeted Ichigo.
However, Ishida Uryu had not anticipated that things would turn out this way.
With such a number of Hollows, if they all appeared in Karakura Town, the outcome would be disastrous.
Everyone in the city would become a buffet for these Hollows!
"Rukia, what's that black hole in the sky? How do we close it?!"
For now, Ishida Uryu and Ichigo's grudge was temporarily set aside, as Ichigo could see that Ishida Uryu didn't intend to destroy the city.
However, even with the five members of the main group working together, the efficiency of their Hollow extermination paled in comparison to the endless Hollows emerging from the black abyss.
"That black hole is called a Hollow Hole, a passage to the Hollow Realm. Usually, only Hollows from the Hollow Realm can open it.
To close it, either the Hollows must choose to close it themselves, or a massive external force must interfere."
Looking at the Hollow Hole above Karakura Town, Rukia also wore a worried expression. She hadn't expected such a severe situation.
As a Shinigami, she wasn't very familiar with the Quincy's methods, but Rukia had some knowledge. She knew that a small amount of bait to attract Hollows shouldn't be enough to cause a swarm from the Hollow Realm.
Although Rukia sensed something amiss, she didn't have much time to ponder at the moment.
Especially when she saw a massive, pitch-black Hollow with a sharp nose and a Hollow mask appear from the Hollow Hole, Rukia and Ishida Uryu's expressions turned grim.
Compared to the inexperienced Ichigo, Chad, and Orihime, Rukia and Ishida Uryu had more knowledge. When they saw the Menos Grande Gillian, they knew the situation was spiraling out of control.
Rukia was already hesitating about contacting the Soul Society.
Even though he would face punishment for losing his Shinigami powers, compared to the destruction of Karakura Town, this was insignificant.
Ichigo Kurosaki's potential and talent as a Shinigami were indeed formidable, but at this moment, he was no match for the Great Hollow.
Looking at the Great Hollow, dozens of meters tall, trampling the city at will and devouring ordinary Hollows one by one, Ichigo, despite his inexperience, realized that this newly emerged creature was on a completely different level from the previous Hollows.
As for Yasutora Sado and Orihime Inoue, who had just arrived in the beginner's village, they were also trembling with fear due to the overwhelming spiritual pressure emanating from the Gigain, one of the Great Hollows.
Ichigo Kurosaki rushed forward to challenge the Gigain, but unfortunately, the damage inflicted by his large cleaver on the Gigain was limited. Moreover, since he couldn't even use Flash Step at the moment, he was just a wild swordsman swinging his blade chaotically. As a result, he was quickly kicked away by the Gigain!
Ichigo didn't know any of the Shinigami's Soul Slashing Dance techniques, and his previous success in defeating the Hollows in Karakura Town was solely due to his overwhelming spiritual pressure.
However, the strength gap between the Great Hollow and the previous minor Hollows was like heaven and earth. It was only natural that Ichikigu, who hadn't grown strong yet, would get beaten up.
"Ichigo, this Hollow is different from the previous ones. It's a Gigain, born from the mutual devouring of a hundred Hollows.
It's not an opponent you can handle at your current stage!"
Seeing their strongest fighter, Ichigo Kurosaki, being kicked away by the Gigain, Rukia Kuchiki also abandoned all hope and took out her communication device to contact the Soul Society for support.
The potential punishment she might face was no longer important; what mattered now was the safety of Karakura Town and Ichigo's group.
However, what Rukia didn't expect was that just as she made up her mind to contact the Soul Society, the Gigain that had kicked Ichigo away suddenly opened its massive mouth, and a red glow rapidly gathered in front of it!
An astonishing spiritual pressure was rapidly accumulating, and anyone with a bit of common sense could tell that the Gigain was preparing a powerful attack. If they were hit by this strike, the consequences would be dire!
"Triple Shield! I refuse!"
Three streams of light shot out from Orihime's head, and a reverse triangular orange-yellow protective shield appeared in front of her.
"Inoue, you better run! Your technique can't withstand its attack!"
Seeing Orihime running to protect him, Ichigo Kurosaki hurriedly urged her to get out of the way.
Orihime's Shield Shun Six Flowers might possess defensive capabilities, but the gap in spiritual pressure between her and the Gigain was too vast at this moment. The defense of the Triple Shield couldn't possibly withstand the Gigain's Hollow attack!
A red beam of light shot out from the Gigain, and Ichigo Kurosaki, seeing that Orihime Inoue was ignoring his advice, used all his strength to get up. He then flashed and stood in front of Orihime once again.
The red pillar of light struck head-on, and Ichikigu, unable to dodge, could only grip his Zanpakuto tightly, using the massive blade to block the high-speed Hollow attack.
When the Hollow attack hit Ichikigu's Zanpakuto, Ichigo Kurosaki felt his arms go numb, and the unparalleled force pushed his body back continuously.
Fortunately, Orihime Inoue, who was behind Ichigo, had intended to use the Triple Shield to block the attack. At this moment, she formed a wall, reducing the impact on Ichigo Kurosaki significantly.
