Bleach: The Path to Transcendence

Thick, ink-like purplish-black blood trickled down from Aaroniero's body.

"How... can this be?"

Aaroniero's eyes were filled with confusion as he lowered his head to look at the octopus shell of his lower body, pierced by his own tentacles. The tip of each tentacle was marked with a sun-like imprint.

Seeing this, Zommari Rureaux sneered, his expression haughty: "This is my ability, which I have named 'Amor' (Love)!"

He glanced at Aaroniero, his face full of disdain, "As a Gillian, you better recognize your place and stop trying to overstep!"

Faced with such mockery, Aaroniero remained silent.

In an instant, a scarlet tentacle shot out from the deep purple octopus shell without warning, like a streak of red lightning, swiftly heading towards Zommari Rureaux.

Zommari Rureaux smirked and softly uttered two words:

"Foolish!"

Instantly, the fifty-plus eyes on his body simultaneously flashed with strange light, but this time the strange sun brand failed to successfully imprint on the scarlet tentacle.

"Bang!"

The scarlet tentacle, carrying immense power, directly sent Zommari Rureaux flying.

"This is... Metastacia's ability!"

In Hueco Mundo, Ye Chuan saw all of this clearly through the spiritual vision above the dome.

"As expected, he not only inherited the abilities of Shiba Kaien, who was devoured by Metastacia, but also Metastacia's own abilities!"

Ye Chuan had not expected that Metastacia's ability was not only able to make Zanpakuto disappear but was also effective against the abilities of Arrancar. This ability could ignore Zommari Rureaux's "Amor" and directly injure him.

Discovering that his pride and joy ability had been negated, a look of astonishment flashed across Zommari Rureaux's face.

"Hoo!"

In the blink of an eye, dozens of uncontrolled purple tentacles once again flailed wildly, attacking Zommari Rureaux frantically.

"Defensa! (Defense Posture)"

In the blink of an eye, Zommari Rureaux quickly curled his body into the pumpkin-shaped body of his lower half.

"Boom!"

Aaroniero's tentacles continued to lash and pierce, but they failed to cause Zommari Rureaux even the slightest harm.

Seeing that the tentacle attacks were completely ineffective, Aaroniero couldn't help but feel a surge of anxiety in his heart.

Without hesitation, he waved the trident in his hand, and sharp water blades, accompanied by a fierce aura, flew towards the pumpkin sphere where Zommari Rureaux was located.

However, these seemingly powerful water blades, upon touching the pumpkin sphere, were like mud oxen entering the sea, not leaving even a trace, and were unable to break through the opponent's defense.

"Zzz!"

Aaroniero circulated his entire spiritual pressure, gathering his power without reservation, and condensed a black-red Cero of astonishing power. This Cero, accompanied by an aura of destruction, heavily bombarded the pumpkin-like sphere.

"Rumble!"

A violent roar instantly sounded, and the violent Cero caused a powerful impact, bringing up large swaths of billowing smoke, as if to engulf everything around it. Seeing this, Aaroniero's face revealed a disdainful smile, and he thought to himself:

"This time you should be..."

After a few breaths, the smoke slowly dissipated, but the scene before him caused Aaroniero's smile to freeze instantly. The pumpkin sphere floated quietly in place, still unharmed.

"Gulu!"

Dozens of breaths passed in the blink of an eye, and Zommari Rureaux, who had transformed into a sphere, slowly returned to his original form. He shook his body, as if to shake off the invisible dust that had been沾染ed when he had transformed into a sphere, and then looked at Aaroniero with a disdainful expression, his eyes full of disdain.

"A mere Gillian, also dreaming of breaking my defense? It's simply a daydream!"

Zommari Rureaux's voice was sharp and harsh, echoing in the air with an unquestionable arrogance.

As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes all over his body instantly flashed with strange light again. In the blink of an eye, Aaroniero's body was branded with sun marks, and even the scarlet tentacle obtained from Metastacia was not spared.

At the same time, on the throne of Hueco Mundo, Ye Chuan quietly watched all of this, muttering to himself:

"As expected, Metastacia's sealing ability is very limited. From activation to failure, the entire process of sealing Zommari Rureaux's ability is less than a minute, and the time interval for activating this ability seems to be quite long."

He frowned slightly, falling into a brief period of contemplation.

However, he quickly let it go, thinking to himself: It's normal, if Metastacia's ability was so heaven-defying, how could Aizen easily let it return to Hueco Mundo? According to the plot in the original work, Metastacia is actually Aizen's experimental product when studying how to seal Zanpakuto abilities, which is why the Extinguisher Prince, who can seal Ryujin Jakka, was later born.

"It's just that Wonderweiss has already joined my command, Aizen Sosuke, I'll see what new tricks you can play!"

Thinking of this, a gleam of anticipation flashed in Ye Chuan's eyes. Deep down, he was really eager to see what unexpected "surprises" Aizen would bring him in the next situation.

"咻!"

In the ranking battlefield, Zommari Rureaux flashed, stepping on Sonido like a ghost, quickly arriving behind Aaroniero, who was tightly bound by his tentacles.

"Zzz!"

Immediately afterward, a Cero emitting a bright yellow light quickly brewed in his palm. The light of the Cero illuminated the surrounding air, and the powerful energy fluctuations made the surrounding space tremble slightly. He aimed the Cero at Aaroniero's forehead. At this moment, Aaroniero, unable to move under the restraints of the tentacles, could only watch death approach step by step.

However, just as the Cero was about to be fired at the critical moment, Aaroniero finally let out an unwilling voice:

"I... surrender!"

Hearing this, Zommari Rureaux's expression instantly became extremely displeased. He glared fiercely at Aaroniero, as if venting the dissatisfaction in his heart. Then, he reluctantly reversed the direction of the Cero and shot the Cero containing huge energy into the distance.

"Rumble!"

With a deafening roar, the Cero caused a violent explosion wherever it went. Billowing smoke soared into the sky, and the original land instantly turned into a scorched earth.

If it weren't for Ye Chuan's prior words that as long as one side surrendered in the ranking battle, the battle must be stopped immediately, and the defeated must not be killed, Zommari Rureaux would have made this Gillian, who dared to challenge his authority, pay a painful price!
