At the door to Orihime's room.
Ulquiorra looked at the collapsed and shattered canopy with an ugly expression on his face.
But immediately, he regained his composure, only a trace of coldness remained in his eyes.
It can't be helped, it was Szayelaporro who had violated Aizen's prohibition and used Gran Rey Cero in the Las Noches earlier due to his own selfish reasons, but this time, it was Mazuru and the captains of the Soul Society who were fighting against each other.
In this kind of battle, no one would care whether the sky was destroyed or not.
And with Mazuru's identity, he had no right to reprimand Mazuru. Moreover, according to his estimation, Aizen would also not say anything when he comes to know about this matter later.
Compared with Mazuru's battle in the main hall of Las Noches, he cared more about the battle in another place.
The battle between Grimmjow and Ichigo.
This was the second battle between the two, the interval between the two fights was not too long, but Grimmjow had clearly noticed the incomprehensible progress made by Ichigo.
This made him very much surprised.
In such a short period of time, his strength had made progress again and again.
'Kurosaki Ichigo, is really a good opponent!'
This time, Grimmjow didn't use Gran Rey Cero anymore, but just released his blade, but the situation was clearly different from last time, because Ichigo and others already knew a lot about Grimmjow because of the previous battle between them. This time they didn't lack intelligence on the opponent.
So after fighting for a while, Ichigo decisively carried out hollowfication to give Grimmjow a decisive blow, and successfully defeated him.
After defeating Grimmjow, they saw Grimmjow struggling to get up again.
Ichigo and the others were startled immediately, thinking that Grimmjow was going to put up a desperate resistance after being pushed to a corner, and was perhaps going to perform the Gran Rey Cero move like the last battle.
Whether it was Uryuu, Rukia, or Renji, they subconsciously took precautions and prepared to give Grimmjow a fatal blow.
(T.L Note: Hanataro is not mentioned because going by his character he would not be delusional enough to try to get in a fight of this level)
But they soon realized that Grimmjow didn't mean to gather spiritual power, instead he got up and said to Ichigo, "You guys want to save that little human girl named Inoue Orihime, right?"
"What are you trying to say?" Ichigo asked Grimmjow with a frown.
"I know where she is, come with me."
Grimmjow gave such an unexpected answer that it made Ichigo and others feel that they heard it wrong.
'If you came this time to take us to save Inoue? Why were you still fighting us?'
Grimmjow didn't know the complaint in Ichigo's and others' hearts. If he knew, he would honestly tell Ichigo and them that the reason for fighting them was to see if Ichigo and others had the ability to rescue Orihime. After all, there is a guard protecting Orihime.
…
After launching Shūkei: Hakuteiken, under Byakuya's sword, the man-made sky above the Las Noches was shattered, and the entire palace was cut in half by this blow. From time to time, gravel collapsed and fell down showing the scale of damage which had caused even the foundation of the palace become unstable.
The palace that Aizen used to convene Espada's meeting earlier had become completely dilapidated after this one battle. Anyway, it couldn't be used anymore. If it was to be used, at least the plaque must be overhauled.
However, for Byakuya who had released an attack of such magnitude, he did not have any joy on his face.
The Shūkei: Hakuteiken was indeed strong, and its coverage was also wide enough, and it even caused some injuries to Mazuru for the first place from the start of the battle.
But seeing Mazuru's body covered in crimson light, and recovering from those injuries almost instantly, Byakuya's complexion became more and more gloomy.
It would be fine if Mazuru had used Bankai.
But the matter of fact was in front of him, Mazuru didn't even release his Bankai, and relied on shikai alone to forcibly resist his strongest attack.
Even the injuries caused by the Shūkei: Hakuteiken were being quickly healed under that strange ability of his.
"The power of the Shūkei: Hakuteiken is indeed impressive, but after all it is still not enough of a move that can kill the enemy with a single blow. If you don't have a stronger move, then you have already lost this battle."
Holding the crimson Zanpakuto, Mazuru said lightly to Byakuya.
Byakuya said nothing to Mazuru's comments.
The consumption of reiatsu after releasing Bankai is not comparable to normal comsumption during battles, especially in a short moment, he almost used all the forms of attacks he had after Senbonzakura's Bankai. Most of his reiatsu had already been consumed.
Although he could still use a few more powerful attacks, as Mazuru said, if he couldn't finish the enemy in front of him with one blow, it would be useless.
"Even so, I must bring you back!"
After a short silence, Byakuya strengthened his belief again and walked towards Mazuru.
Mazuru shook his head, somewhat disapproving.
He cared more about the other opponent than Byakuya.
"What about you? Would you choose to continue to watch like this?"
His eyes fell on Unohana.
Unohana sighed, "You are right… I really shouldn't continue watching like this."
"Captain Kuchiki is right, we have to bring you back."
"After all, we came to Hueco Mundo together and we can't just leave you alone in Hueco Mundo."
Unohana said lightly, and then lifted the Dankū defense wall that had been maintained since before, and no longer sheltered the people behind her, but before engaging in battle, she still reminded the people behind her.
"You'd better step back, the next battle is beyond your level of participation."
Maki and Yachiru quickly retreated with the seriously injured Zaraki. Zaraki who had realized what was going to happen, immediately felt frustrated in every possible way.
"Let me stay, I can fight again!"
Even if he had been seriously injured, but seeing a powerful opponent in front of him, but incapable to fight, this kind of situation was really uncomfortable to a battle maniac like him!
"Ken-chan…"
Yachiru knew what Zaraki was thinking, so she couldn't help but speak softly, wanting to support him.
But Zaraki's physical condition made her extremely worried.
At this moment, Mazuru's voice sounded.
"Leave him alone."
"After all, the scene of two generations of Kenpachi fighting on the same stage, on the same side, is probably the first time in history. It is a pity to give up a opportunity like this."
After saying these words, Mazuru did not hesitate anymore, and immediately released his Bankai.
"Bankai—"
"Chikai no Senjō!"
The sea of blood spread, instantly covering the dilapidated Las Noches.
Everyone only found themselves in a blood-red world, and then, the blood light climbed to Zaraki's body, and began to heal his injuries at the speed visible to naked eye, and his strength also started to recover.
"That's right, that's how it feels to be alive!"
Zaraki couldn't help but laugh wildly, and then his eyes showed an astonishing fighting intent and battle hunger.
Byakuya was surprised by the words of "two generations of Kenpachi" spoke by Mazuru, still his surprise over that was short-lived as immediately he heard Unohana's voice.
"Bankai—"
"Minazuki!"
