Shunkuho!
Toshiro's figure flickered, appearing beside an Adjuchas, then sent a Kenatsu towards it.
This Adjuchas waved its claws, trying to block Toshiro's slash.
"Schlick!"
Unfortunately, this Adjuchas was too weak, not even reaching lieutenant-class. Toshiro's Kenatsu severed its arms, then, undiminished, cleaved its body in two. It was dead beyond dead.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Toshiro's figure continuously flickered, appearing before one Adjuchas after another, killing them.
Soon, Toshiro glanced around the battlefield. Apart from the Adjuchas Ando and Amagai were each fighting, there were no other Adjuchas left.
"Wait, I remember before the battle, there seemed to be another Adjuchas beside Flores... named Garcia, I think?" Toshiro suddenly remembered.
"Roar!"
Just as Toshiro wanted to carefully search for the remaining Adjuchas named Garcia, the over a hundred Gillian in the field suddenly roared.
Then, red Reiatsu light began gathering at the mouths of all hundred-plus Gillian simultaneously.
"Cero!" Toshiro exclaimed.
Although it was just the Cero of the lowest Menos Grande, the Gillian and a single Cero couldn't even breach Toshiro's physical defense, but this was over a hundred Cero attacking simultaneously. If hit, even with Toshiro's physical toughness, he'd definitely be injured.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Overwhelming red Cero blasted towards Toshiro! He has nowhere to dodge!
"Bakudo #81, Danku!"
Toshiro immediately used the defensive Kido, Danku, without incantation.
A transparent barrier instantly appeared before Toshiro.
Boom!
Over a hundred Cero struck the Danku barrier in front of Toshiro. The transparent barrier rippled like a lake surface.
However, the Danku barrier showed no signs of shattering.
After all, they were just Gillian's Cero. If it were over a hundred Adjuchas's Cero, it likely wouldn't hold.
After the hundred-plus Gillian's Cero ended, Toshiro dispelled the Kido.
Originally, Toshiro planned to deal with the strongest Adjuchas first, ignoring the Gillian. But he never expected over a hundred Gillian posed a greater threat than a few Adjuchas.
"Since you're so eager to die, let me send you on your way first!" Toshiro said coldly.
"Icicle Birds!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Countless ice pellets descended like a hailstorm upon the hundred-plus Gillian.
"Vacuum Ice Blade!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Ice blades showered down like a storm.
Under Toshiro's relentless assault, sparing no Reiatsu, with various wide-area attacks emerging one after another, essentially all the Hollows were eliminated.
"Whew!"
Toshiro gasped for breath. "Though the consumption was a bit high... at least it's all dealt with!"
Toshiro glanced towards Ando and Amagai's direction and saw they had also finished their battles.
Ando and Amagai were, after all, have Lieutenant-level strength. The two Adjuchas they fought hadn't even reached Lieutenant-level and were no match for them.
"Ando, Amagai, let's go. Back to camp," Toshiro said to the two.
Hueco Mundo's Inner Circle, Las Noches.
The current Las Noches could be more aptly called ruins rather than a palace.
Unlike the tall, magnificent palace complex during Aizen's reign, the current Las Noches was just crumbling walls and debris.
Damaged walls, a few pillars, and a central raised platform, with no roof… that was the present Las Noches.
Around the central platform in Las Noches, dozens of Hollows gathered, all Adjuchas. There wasn't a single Gillian or ordinary Hollow. As for strength, many were equivalent to Lieutenant-level Shinigami.
On the platform, the King of Hueco Mundo, Baraggan Louisenbairn, sat upon a bone throne.
Currently, Baraggan looked like a skeleton wearing a purple cloak and a golden crown.
At this moment, a blonde female Hollow walked gracefully, holding a wine jug, intending to pour wine for Baraggan, though one wonders how a skeleton drinks.
Baraggan waved his hand to stop her. "No need!"
The blonde female Hollow immediately bowed and retreated.
"You useless troops who cannot resist invaders are not worth keeping. What do you think?" Baraggan's tone sounded somewhat bored.
The many Hollows knelt on the ground, not daring to answer.
"Do you not know how to answer with anything other than 'yes'?" Baraggan said, sounding uninterested.
"So boring. No invader comes to pass the time. Fine. You split into two teams. One team plays the invader, the other the defenders. Then fight each other," Baraggan ordered.
All the Hollows were instantly terrified, prostrating on the ground, not daring to move.
"Why aren't you moving? Didn't you hear me?" Baraggan urged impatiently.
Under Baraggan's urging, all the Hollows dared not disobey. They spontaneously split into two teams, preparing to fight each other.
If they followed Baraggan's order to fight, they could survive by defeating their opponents. But if they dared defy his command, they would all die.
Just as all the Hollows formed two teams and were about to start, a guard from outside suddenly entered.
"Baraggan-sama, a Hollow named Garcia requests an audience," The guard reported, kneeling on one knee.
"Garcia? I don't recall having a Hollow named Garcia under me," Baraggan said, somewhat puzzled.
"Baraggan-sama, that Garcia says he's Flores's subordinate and has important matters to see you," the guard respectfully replied.
"So, Flores's subordinate," Baraggan realized.
He didn't know who Garcia was, but he knew about Flores.
Because Flores was his subordinate, and one he valued.
Although Baraggan was the King of Hueco Mundo with many powerful Hollows under him, few reached Captain-level. Therefore, he valued those who did.
Things like having all the Hollows split into teams to fight each other, Baraggan had done many times, but all Captain-level Hollows were exempt.
"Let that Garcia in. See what he wants," Baraggan ordered.
