"Looks like it's time for a quick battle."
As Shigure's calm words fell, the three beside him—Nel and her companions—swallowed hard in unison, not daring to breathe.
They noticed that the moment Shigure spoke those words, his entire aura had completely changed.
"Run... Run!!!"
Yuka Ludwig's roar came from overhead again.
From the moment Aizen had brought him back to life, he had already decided he would complete every task Aizen gave him, no matter what.
So he wouldn't allow Szayelaporro to die here.
But hearing these words, Szayelaporro—who had been somewhat shocked—suddenly showed an expression filled with vicious anger.
He looked up, gritting his teeth as he glared above and roared:
"Shut up!!!"
"How I handle this... I don't need you commanding me!"
"Even if... Aizen himself came here, I'd still do things my way!!"
After speaking, he quickly turned his head to look at Shigure ahead.
After staring for a moment, suddenly, the corners of his mouth began spreading to both sides again.
At this moment, his eyes still held anger.
But his spreading mouth showed a crazed and excited smile.
This scene was extremely eerie, completely frightening Nel and her companions into stunned silence.
He let out inhuman laughter, staring intently at Shigure as he shouted:
"You said you want a 'quick battle'... That happens to be exactly what I'm thinking too!!"
"Sip, Fornicarás!"
As his words fell, he directly raised the blade in his hand and without hesitation sent it straight into his mouth!
The moment the sword entered his throat, his body suddenly began expanding rapidly, then exploded violently.
Boom!
Blue-purple smoke instantly filled the area, slowly dispersing after several breaths.
Szayelaporro's lower body had rapidly transformed into tentacles, which then instantly solidified and disappeared, becoming legs and the hem of clothing again.
At the same time, four gray-white wings sprouted from his back, with blood-red tassels hanging from them.
Several vertical colored markings appeared above his left eye socket.
At this moment, though his spiritual pressure didn't surge dramatically, it became much more eerie and twisted.
Szayelaporro slightly raised his eyes, showing a faint smile as he said softly:
"Well then... let's start with her!"
As his words fell, he suddenly looked toward Nel beside them, then the tentacles behind him shot forward!
Nel immediately froze in terror. She never expected that while these two were fighting, this person would suddenly attack her.
The tentacles' impact speed was too fast, reaching her in the blink of an eye.
Though Dondochakka and Pesche wanted to block for her, they couldn't react in time.
But just then, a sharp white light appeared again.
Slash!
Where the white light passed, the tentacles were directly severed!
"What?!"
Szayelaporro quickly looked toward Shigure, only to see Shigure clearly holding his Zanpakutō.
But it wasn't released at all.
Szayelaporro's gaze contracted slightly, his heart jumping.
To cut through my tentacles with one strike without even releasing his Zanpakutō...
At this moment, Shigure lightly stepped forward, beginning to walk toward Szayelaporro as he said calmly:
"Since I said the words 'quick battle,' I naturally won't give you a chance to be reborn."
"So you can put away these little tricks."
Hearing this, Szayelaporro's body suddenly stiffened, and the tentacles behind him couldn't help but tremble.
"You... what did you say...?!"
Shigure continued forward unhurriedly, saying calmly:
"The reason you just attacked her was to drill your tentacles into her body and then lay eggs for incubation, right?"
"This technique seems to be what you call 'Conception Notification'..."
"Once this current you dies, those eggs in her body would rapidly absorb her nutrients and complete your rebirth."
"Am I right?"
Hearing this, Nel immediately turned pale with fright, quickly covering her small belly as she looked fearfully toward Szayelaporro ahead.
And Szayelaporro's face had already become twisted with shock.
"Im... impossible..."
"Impossible!! How do you know these things?!!"
"I've never told anyone about this research and ability... even Aizen might not know!!"
Szayelaporro's face had already become grotesquely distorted beyond recognition as he screamed hysterically:
"Just what are you?!!"
His screams formed continuous echoes on the surrounding labyrinth walls.
In that voice was anger and confusion, as well as fear of the unknown.
Back then, to research the perfect life—the power of "Conception Notification"—he had split his soul in two.
Because of this, his strength rapidly deteriorated, becoming an Adjuchas-class Hollow, and his original No. 0 designation was removed, excluding him from the Espada.
Only after successfully mastering "Conception Notification" did he smoothly return to the Espada ranks, becoming the No. 8 Espada.
So this power was also one of his greatest trump cards, which he had never revealed to others.
But now, not only had his plan been interrupted, his ability had been casually revealed by Shigure as if he had known all along.
And this was what Szayelaporro couldn't tolerate!
He breathed heavily, staring directly at Shigure with furious eyes.
Shigure walked to about two meters away from him and stopped, then raised the blade in his hand. Slightly lifting his eyes, he said calmly:
"You don't need to know these things."
As his words fell, Szayelaporro's pupils suddenly contracted, while Shigure indifferently brought down his blade.
Enhanced by Annihilation Reiatsu, even his unreleased Zanpakutō radiated extremely scorching heat.
Where the blade passed, the spiritual particle flow in the air was immediately burned away!
The red traces of burning spiritual particles formed a fiery red ring in the air, directly encompassing Szayelaporro's body within it.
