Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

"I know, you don't need to tell me, I didn't fall for it!"

Lilynet, who had transformed into a gun, started yelling:

"Why are you talking so much today? Let's get started fighting!!"

You're the one who inexplicably started chatting with the enemy during the battle, aren't you?

How did you get blamed on me?!

Stark was somewhat speechless.

Bang bang bang! !

He raised his twin guns, and hundreds of holographic flashes erupted from their muzzles like fireworks.

Aozaki Mayuki raised one hand, neither dodging nor avoiding the oncoming Cero, her slender palm blocking the continuous barrage of Cero in front of her.

There were no fancy tricks, just pure spiritual pressure attacks.

This primitive style of play, which requires absolutely no brainpower, left Aozaki Mazuki somewhat moved.

There are very few people in this world as innocent as you.

Leaving aside the myriad bizarre Zanpakuto of the Shinigami, just thinking about the Quincy he might have to face soon gave him a headache.

The spiritual pressure isn't particularly strong, but some of those strange abilities are indeed troublesome to deal with.

This contrasts sharply with the relaxed and carefree demeanor of Aozaki Mayuki.

Stark's usually calm and indifferent face now showed a look of shock.

As the only Hollow in Hueco Mundo that completely relied on itself to become an Arrancar, Stark's original individual was far too powerful for a Hollow.

The spiritual pressure he exudes alone is enough to erode the souls of those around him until they die.

Even an Adjuchas-class Hollow wouldn't survive long by his side.

Throughout the long years, he always envied those who were weak, because the weaker they were, the more likely they were to stay together.

He once had companions.

However, his original companions were completely wiped out by his spiritual pressure.

So he embarked on a solitary journey through Hueco Mundo.

If you've never had it, you won't miss it.

Only those who have possessed something can truly crave it.

Because I used to have companions, I hate being alone even more.

Stark and Lilynette are the result of the original individuals splitting their souls in two in an attempt to escape loneliness.

Only today, upon meeting the new king of Hueco Mundo, did he realize that there were such terrifyingly powerful beings in the world.

Not to mention the spiritual pressure emanating from the body...

When he and Lilynette merged into one, the full-force Cero he unleashed couldn't even break through the skin of her palm.

This is no longer the "partner as strong as myself" that I was looking for.

They're monsters far beyond my own!

No wonder I felt threatened by him, it turns out this guy is too strong!

Stark frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.

But why can't I sense spiritual pressure?

Does he possess a special ability to control spiritual pressure?

If I had that ability, I wouldn't need to distance myself from the weak like him...

Even knowing that everything he was doing was in vain, he had no intention of changing his tactics.

Stark does indeed possess even greater abilities.

He can split his soul and transform it into a pack of wolves.

The pack of wolves can track enemies and trigger explosions, which are more powerful than a regular Cero.

But if it's used...

What will be consumed is not his useless spiritual pressure, but his and Lilynette's souls.

He could lose his life, but he didn't want to lose Lilynette, who had been his "companion" for so long.

Moreover, given the current disparity in strength, even if they used their souls to create a pack of wolves to attack, it would probably not cause any effective damage.

Should we really submit to him?

It's not so bad to be around someone who can ignore my spiritual pressure...

And although it seems they want to subdue me, their attitude is not bad.

In particular, he treated Lilynette with exceptional kindness.

Stark stood there for a while, casting Cero, his resolve beginning to waver.

After thinking for a moment, he spoke:

"Let's pause for a moment, I..."

Chapter 274 Onboarding

Aozaki Mayuki smiled and leaned her body slightly forward.

The next second, his figure vanished abruptly from the spot like a ghost.

Stark's eyes widened.

His pupils were fixed on the spot where Aozaki Mazuki had just been, but he couldn't see anything clearly.

call out! ! !

Suddenly, a sharp whistling sound rang out.

Aozaki Mayuki seemed to have traversed a thousand meters in an instant, appearing in front of Stark without warning!

At the same time, a burst of spiritual pressure suddenly erupted from Aozaki Mayuki's body.

hum! !

This spiritual pressure, like a surging wave, rapidly swept across the entire space, causing the surrounding air to vibrate violently.

"What……"

Stark's face showed utter astonishment.

He never expected that his opponent not only possessed such terrifying physical abilities, but also had spiritual pressure that could overwhelm him.

Before this, Stark had never encountered an opponent with a spiritual pressure greater than his own.

Faced with Aozaki Mayuki's unexpected suppression, Stark was clearly caught off guard, and a sense of panic involuntarily rose in his heart.

"You idiot Stark! What are you daydreaming about?! Shouldn't you be the one taking this seriously?"

Suddenly, Lilynette's furious voice came from between the two guns.

Without Stark making any move, Lilynette took the initiative to control his hand and raised it towards Aozaki Mazuki.

However, before Lilynette could fire her gun, a fist came flying at her like lightning.

boom! ! !

A seemingly ordinary punch contains astonishing power.

It struck Stark in the abdomen instantly, sending him flying backward.

In mid-air, Stark felt a blankness before his eyes, as if the whole world was spinning.

His internal organs felt as if they were being squeezed together, causing him extreme discomfort, and he couldn't help but vomit a mouthful of blood.

To Stark's astonishment, Aozaki Mayuki's figure appeared silently above him, staring at him at close range.

Lilynette couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

Aozaki Mayuki's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, as she raised her fist.

Blood splattered everywhere as the spiritual pressure surged.

Despite the blurred vision, the excruciating pain indicated that he had suffered an extremely heavy blow to the head.

Stark felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and his body swayed violently as he plummeted downwards like a small meteorite.

"Stark! Stark!! Wake up, Stark!!!"

Lilyne, in her musket form, instantly let out an anxious cry.

At this moment, they are in a combined state.

Therefore, Lilynette could clearly sense that Stark's body was severely injured!

Before this, they had never encountered such a powerful and terrifying opponent!

If it were to fall straight down like that, even if the ground below were soft sand, the enormous impact would likely cause immeasurable damage.

If I were to transform back into human form and go to meet them.

Regardless of whether he could catch it, the impact alone would likely have caused him and the other person even more severe injuries.

What should I do? What am I going to do now?!

Just as Lilynette was getting anxious, a hand suddenly reached out and gently landed on Stark's back.

Could it be... that they're going to take this opportunity to finish him off?

Lilynette turned around in surprise and discovered that Aozaki Mayuki had somehow appeared behind Stark.

Should he use a soul splitting technique? But would that even work for him?

She thought this subconsciously.

However, to her surprise, Stark's descent began to slow down.

The man's control over his strength was so precise that he perfectly neutralized the powerful impact from before.
