Chapter 781: Chapter 622: Even as an Arrancar Hollow, I Must Say No to Nesting Dolls!
No one expected...
After the Shinigami from other Squads eliminated the Hollows and left, a mysterious pale youth suddenly invaded the Soul Society, raising his hand to launch a destructive Cero towards Uehara Naraku!
"Watch out, Vice Captain Naraku!"
The Shinigami of the 5th Squad watched the scene with faces full of horror!
Uehara Naraku instinctively looked upwards and saw the emerald-green Cero shooting down from above. His hand swiftly raised towards the direction of the Cero, quickly gathering Spiritual Particles around him!
"Fire Array!"
A red barrier abruptly appeared in front of Uehara Naraku!
The barrier released by Uehara Naraku’s raised hand seemed unusually sturdy, managing to block the emerald-green Cero, though the barrier slightly dimmed...
However, seeing Uehara Naraku unharmed, all the Shinigami, including Aizen Sousuke, involuntarily let out a sigh of relief.
But in the next moment...
Another emerald-green Cero descended!
The energy of the second Cero was more powerful, instantly striking the Fire Array barrier, quickly assaulting its defenses, and the cracks were starting to appear on the Fire Array, seemingly about to shatter under the Cero’s pressure!
A gentle incantation began echoing in the field.
Aizen Sousuke’s figure quickly dashed towards Uehara Naraku, raising his fingers and softly chanting: "The pride of heaven, the iron fortress, moving dragon..."
This was the incantation of Hadou No. 81: Splitting Void!
However, everyone could see that Aizen Sousuke didn’t have time to complete the Splitting Void incantation, the emerald-green Cero had torn through the Fire Array, and the massive shockwave was about to fall directly onto Uehara Naraku!
At this moment...
At the most dangerous moment...
Aizen Sousuke’s figure Shunpoed to Uehara Naraku’s side, extending his arms to shield Uehara Naraku, his lips curving into a smile as he faced the oncoming emerald-green Cero!
The emerald-green Cero’s energy landed on Aizen Sousuke!
The Captain of the 5th Squad had streams of blood trickling from the corners of his mouth, yet he resolutely stood in front of Uehara Naraku, only slightly turning his head as if leaving his last words: "Naraku, if I leave, you must take on the responsibility of the 5th Squad..."
"Captain Sousuke..."
Uehara Naraku’s face was filled with overwhelming shock and sorrow. Just the next moment, he wanted to pull Aizen Sousuke back, but Aizen Sousuke remained like an unmovable fortress, firmly standing his ground to shield him from the Cero’s impact.
In the sky above.
The pale-skinned youth standing in the spatial rift watched this scene still with a blank expression. He extended his finger, gathering emerald-green energy, and just as this enemy was about to unleash another Cero...
The shape of a crimson Sharingan appeared behind the pale-skinned youth!
Every Hollow in the Hollow World knew that the appearance of the Sharingan meant the emergence of those damned Deadguards of the Uehara Race, causing the pale-skinned youth’s expression to change slightly.
The next moment, he closed the spatial rift and hurriedly fled!
Only the grievously injured Aizen Sousuke remained on the scene...
The Captain of the 5th Squad had fallen to protect his subordinates.
"Captain...don’t..."
Uehara Naraku looked at the fallen Aizen Sousuke in disbelief, hastily reaching out to support him, face full of grief and pain, rapidly gathering Spiritual Particles at his fingertips to heal Aizen.
"Don’t waste your Spiritual Power."
Even though Aizen Sousuke was severely injured, he still tried to maintain his elegant demeanor in front of his subordinate, to put this subordinate at ease: "The enemy may not have gone far, Naraku, take everyone back to the Quiet Spirit Court immediately."
"...Yes."
Uehara Naraku slowly lowered his head.
Everything that had just happened seemed to have a large impact on him; his Captain, Aizen Sousuke, had almost died under the Cero to protect him...
If...
It wasn’t Ulquiorra who took action.
The enemy that appeared just now was a natural-born Arrancar Hollow, and he was called Ulquiorra, known for his formidable power both in the Soul Society and in the Hollow World.
The most crucial part is...
The identity of Ulquiorra.
As the 5th Squad hurriedly carried the injured Aizen Sousuke back to the Quiet Spirit Court, Ulquiorra, the one who initiated the attack, was standing within the rift in space.
Beside Ulquiorra stood a laid-back man in a white robe, whose Spiritual Pressure made Ulquiorra feel slightly uncomfortable...
After all, this man was considered the strongest natural Arrancar...
Coyote Starrk.
Coyote Starrk’s strength was so overwhelming that if one’s power was insufficient, merely standing beside him might result in death due to the unintentional release of his Spiritual Pressure!
Though his power was immense...
He was naturally a lazy guy.
Currently, Coyote Starrk exhibited none of the demeanor of the strongest Arrancar, instead behaving like an old brother pulling along a little girl with a skull headband, gently soothing her nerves: "Hey, Lilynette, calm down..."
"Ahhh... why should I calm down!"
The girl glanced at Starrk, then looked at the two figures clad in Cloud Black Robe standing opposite them, unable to suppress her voice: "Starrk, that’s Uchiha Itachi who once offended Lord Orochimaru!"
