Chapter 744: Yecheng: The Power of Thirty Thousand Hollows?
Chapter 744: Yecheng: The Power of Thirty Thousand Hollows?
As they watched Heriberl, who was alternating between disappointment and joy, Sunden and the others were eager to inquire about the collaboration with the Shinigami, but Heriberl's unpredictable mood made them hesitant.
On the other side, Yecheng, who had just delivered the message to Heriberl, was unaware that he had just experienced a Schrodinger's brutal battle and was still reveling in his own cleverness.
Bringing Suibee to meet Heriberl was indeed a hasty decision. After feeding the dark-skinned beauty so much motivational talk, she had only begun to trust him initially. It was normal for other Shinigami to make her wary.
However, his recent explanation should have successfully salvaged the situation and regained her favor, right?
Yaronilo Alruriele, to be honest, although he was one of the 'Espada', Yecheng didn't have much impression of him.
Or, to be more precise, among the 'Espada', aside from the top three and the fourth Espada, Ulquiorra, and the sixth Espada, Grimmjow, Yecheng didn't have a deep impression of the other Espada.
When Yecheng and Suibee arrived at Alruriele's palace following Heriberl's map, even before stepping into the palace, Yecheng and Suibee furrowed their brows simultaneously. Hirasen Tao and Daizen Jin, who were following behind them, also entered a state of vigilance.
"There's a lingering Shinigami spirit pressure here. Someone has arrived before us and is already engaged in battle," Yecheng said.
The spirit pressure of Shinigami and Hollows was distinct, so even before entering the palace, they had sensed that a fight was underway inside, and the one who initiated the fight was a Shinigami.
"It's Lucia... That bastard Urahara Kisuke even opened the Black Throat for them!" Suibee exclaimed.
Unlike Suibee and the others, Yecheng, who possessed 'Sensing Presence', could not only perceive the magnitude of spirit pressure but also identify the person through their spiritual energy.
And indeed, Yecheng's guess was correct. When Yecheng and the others entered the palace, Lucia was already in a fierce battle with Alruriele, and she had sustained severe injuries.
As for Alruriele, he had entered the "Zanpakuto Spirit" state of an Espada, with his upper body maintaining its original form and the lower half transforming into a gigantic, ugly, octopus-like creature.
Alruriele's death aspect was "Greed," and he was the only Espada who had achieved this rank after breaking through as a Gillian-class Menos Grande.
To be fair, for Alruriele to reach the rank of Espada with a Gillian foundation was a true underdog story. After all, most of the Fraccion of the Espada had been at the Adjuchas level before their transformation.
The reason Alruriele could rise from a Gillian to his current state was primarily due to his ability.
After entering the Zanpakuto Spirit state, Alruriele used his ability to transform into another face, and his spiritual energy also underwent a change at that moment.
Upon seeing the person Alruriele had transformed into, Lucia and Suibee were surprised, while Yecheng, with a hint of mockery, said, "If that Shihou Haiyan guy were here, this Espada would probably be torn to pieces!"
Indeed, the person Alruriele had transformed into was Shihouzu, the former 11th Division's 3rd Seat and the wife of Shihou Haiyan.
Alruriele's ability, 'Devour Hollow', allowed him to consume deceased Hollows and claim their powers and spirit pressure for himself.
The Hollow Metastacia, who had killed Shihouzu, was also consumed by Alruriele, which granted him the ability to transform into Shihouzu.
Of course, the current Shihouzu has already changed his name to Yeshen Yedu, and even his Zanpakuto's abilities have been altered.
So the Yaronilo that transformed into Shihouzu here is an older version from a hundred years ago. Although he possesses a part of Shihouzu's soul, he lacks self-awareness.
Due to the change in the plot, Shihouzu died earlier, so the current Lucia and Hirasen Tao don't recognize Shihouzu; they are only surprised by Yaronilo's ability to transform into a Shinigami.
As Yecheng watched Yaronilo, who should have transformed into Seagull, now taking on the form of the deceased Shihouzu, his mood was rather unpleasant.
"Lucia, there's a substitute player. Let me take on his opponent from now on. The Shinigami he transformed into was once an old acquaintance of mine.
To be honest, his actions make me a little angry, so you can rest on the sidelines for now."
Yecheng initially didn't want to interfere with the fight between Lucia and Yaronilo, as the current Lucia is much stronger than in the original plot.
In the original plot, Yaronilo, who could transform into Shihou Haiyan, was even overturned by Octopus Head against the odds. Now, if it's just Shihouzu, theoretically, there shouldn't be any issues.
"Another new Shinigami, huh? But you don't need to worry about who will fight; in the end, you'll all be killed by me and become my nourishment.
After all, in my Resurreccion form, I possess the power of the 33,650 Hollows I've devoured. With just myself, I have the strength of an army of over thirty thousand.
With this power, whether you fight me in a relay or all at once, it makes no difference to me."
After achieving Resurreccion and taking on Shihouzu's appearance, the current Yaronilo felt incredibly powerful.
The immense spiritual pressure surging within his body gave him unparalleled confidence. Although it was evident from Yecheng and Suibee's attire that they were Shinigami captains, Yaronilo, with the spiritual pressure of thirty thousand Hollows, was not intimidated in the slightest.
However, just as he was boasting, Yecheng, who had been slowly approaching him, suddenly disappeared before his eyes at a speed beyond human perception.
And when his figure reappeared, a foot wearing straw sandals had already kicked Yaronilo's abdomen with a whip-like leg!
"You're so noisy! It's just the power of thirty thousand Hollows. Someone who doesn't know might think you've devoured thirty thousand Vasto Lorde."
Yaronilo, after taking a kick to the abdomen, not only vomited fresh blood on the spot but was also sent flying at supersonic speed, even smashing through the palace ceiling.
However, during his flight, Yecheng, who had been on the ground, suddenly vanished from his original position with a flash-step and reappeared behind Yaronilo, who suddenly felt an intense sense of crisis emanating from behind.
Without much time to consider why the opponent's speed was so fast, Yaronilo immediately released Shihouzu's Zanpakuto to turn the situation around.
Similar to Seagull's "Twisted Flower," Shihouzu's Zanpakuto also took the form of a long-handled weapon when released.
When the Zanpakuto, resembling a long-handled naginata, appeared, Yaronilo spun his body in mid-air and swung the blade toward Yecheng, who had reappeared behind him, intending to pursue.
"Ka——————!"
However, something shocking happened to Yaronilo; despite having released Shihouzu's Zanpakuto and spinning his body to deliver a slash, his blade was now firmly grasped by Yecheng's hand!
