"You idiot," Ulquiorra said, looking at Yammy who was flying backward. "Even though you jumped out without measuring your opponent's strength, and... I've already drawn my Zanpakuto, can't you understand something?"

As he spoke, Uruchiora looked around. He realized that all the pedestrians had vanished, and the figure he had just seen...

So it really is Ryougi Kazuya, the lieutenant of the 11th Division of Soul Society...

"You damned bastard—!" Yammy stood up from the rubble, blood still trickling from his forehead, but that did nothing to dampen his rage: "Die—!"

Buzz————

A powerful Cero shot slammed into Ryougi Shiki.

"Binding Path No. 81: Severing the Void"

boom----!

Ryougi Kazumi watched as the Kido that had blocked Yami's Cero released itself and said, "That's Shiki's battle over there. You can just watch from the sidelines. That way, you should be able to live a little longer."

"Hey, I don't need your help at all, do I?" Ryougi Shiki put down her Zanpakuto and sighed, "This level of Cero has no effect on me even without releasing my Zanpakuto."

"Haha, don't say that." Ryougi Kazumi chuckled. "Even so, it's never good to have dust on your clothes or a torn kimono."

"You bastard—are you looking down on me?!"

Watching Yammy charge forward again, completely unaware of his surroundings, Uruchiora closed his eyes...

can not watch anymore.

"I shouldn't have brought you here in the first place... Didn't you realize the difference in strength at all?"

What was originally a task he could have easily completed on his own became completely chaotic because of Yammy... and he himself was completely unaware of it, still fighting like a mad dog.

Doesn't he understand...?

Who are the opponents he cannot defeat...?

"Well, never mind..." Ryougi Shiki turned to Ulquiorra and said, "Although, it would be nice to fight both of you at the same time, there's nothing we can do since that guy can't get here. Anyway... it doesn't really matter whether we have that level of power or not, right?"

“That’s right,” Ulquiorra said. “So, you want to fight me, woman?”

Chapter 1092 Resurrection

"Nonsense! Why would I be here if I didn't want to fight you?"

'This is tricky.' Ulquiorra sensed that things were getting complicated. His purpose in coming to the human world was not to fight Ryougi Shiki, but to carry out Aizen Sousuke's order to assess the threat level of the substitute Shinigami—Kurosaki Ichigo. If the threat was serious, he could choose to kill him.

That was his order.

But now, an enemy has appeared in front of him, blocking his way.

Captain of the Eleventh Division – Ryougi Shiki.

'Just as Lord Aizen said, she's troublesome.' Ulquiorra pondered, facing Ryougi Shiki. 'My sensory nerves have already sensed her powerful spiritual pressure; it's indeed very strong. Even if she's weaker than me, she still couldn't pierce my steel armor. Moreover, her danger isn't just in her spiritual pressure... but also in her combat instincts and swordsmanship... Although killing her shouldn't be difficult, it will definitely take a considerable amount of time, and during that time, other Shinigami might come to assist.'

"Of course, none of that is the most important thing. The most important thing is Ryougi Kazumi." Ulquiorra looked at Ryougi Kazumi, who was blocking Yammy's path; "He's the most difficult to deal with. His Zanpakuto's ability grants Ryougi Shiki immortality, and combined with her own abilities, it's not impossible for her to defeat a stronger opponent."

'However, if Ryougi Shiki came here for the thrill of 'battle,' then according to the intelligence, Ryougi and Miyabi's abilities shouldn't be affecting her right now... Unconcerned arrogance.'

“Alright,” Uruchiora said to Ryougi Shiki, “then I’ll fight you, woman.”

thump—

Ulquiorra appeared instantly behind Ryougi Shiki.

Sound!

'Let's assess the situation first. We'll decide whether to continue the mission based on whether my sword can harm her. If I can't, then we can only hope for Yammy's side.'

The sword suddenly swung down.

brush--

The blade struck only a blur, but Uruchiora wasn't annoyed. His other hand was already pointing behind him; "Cero—"

hum-

boom------!

“It’s useless.” Ulquiorra said, looking at Ryougi Shiki who was directly hit by his Cero. “With this level of Shunpo, you can’t evade my detection nerves.”

"Is that so—" Ryougi Shiki said, waving away the smoke and dust with her hand, "That should be changed. You think you can hurt me with a Cero of this level?"

"..." Looking at the faint charred marks on Ryougi Shiki's lowered hand, Ulquiorra hadn't expected to get the answer so quickly. Ryougi and Mi's abilities hadn't affected Ryougi Shiki, and...

"Why didn't you use Shikai? I remember that your Zanpakuto's Shikai ability can nullify Cero, right?"

“Wouldn’t that be boring?” Ryougi Shiki laughed. “Besides… is it really necessary to nullify this level of Cero?”

"...I see. Well then, die with that arrogance. Lock it down..."

"Blackwing Demon".

In an instant—a dark green light shot into the sky!

......

"I said, isn't that enough?" Ryougi Kazumi casually swung his sword, repeatedly repelling Yammy, and said, "If this continues, you're going to die."

Yammy without releasing his blade poses no threat at all; it's just a simple 10th slash.

Not strong, not fast.

If he weren't still useful later, Ryougi and Mi could have killed him before he even released his Zanpakuto.

Buzz————

The next moment, a strong spiritual pressure came from behind, causing Ryougi and Miya's pupils to shrink slightly.

Splash—

It's raining.

Dark green spiritual pressure rain.

"This is—? Ulquiorra has been released from his sword?" Ryougi Kazuya's pupils contracted slightly, and he instantly took out a communicator and put it to his ear to make a communication connection: "Help me apply for the removal of the restriction on Shiki."

......

So heavy—

This rain is so heavy...

Chad and Orihime, who were rushing towards this side, felt their legs give way and they were completely unable to move.

"What... happened?" Inoue Orihime said through gritted teeth, feeling a tightness in her chest, and she had no choice but to collapse to the ground.

"Is the spiritual pressure alone already this strong...?" Chad clenched his fists, trembling as he tried to stand up, but the gap was too great... He couldn't even manage to stand up.

In this state, forget about rushing over to save them; they themselves would be crushed by such immense spiritual pressure...

Even...maybe he'll die—

only...

Chad felt something was different from Orihime Inoue; under this immense pressure, he felt as if his arms were undergoing some kind of change...

It's an indescribable feeling, but... I'm gradually able to stand up again.

"Chad! Inoue—!" Chad, who had just stood up, was about to leave with Inoue Orihime and then go to help when he suddenly heard a voice behind him.

"Ichigo—"

Seeing Ichigo Kurosaki running towards him, Chad Yasutora breathed a sigh of relief: "Ichigo, can you withstand this spiritual pressure?"

"Huh?" Ichigo Kurosaki thought for a moment, "Ah... that's definitely a very strong spiritual pressure, my bones are creaking... but actually I've unleashed similar spiritual pressure before..."

Ichigo Kurosaki compared them and said, "I don't think there's much difference..."

He took two steps forward and said, "Chad, take Inoue and leave first."

"But, so many people..."

"Can't you see? There's no one left." Ichigo Kurosaki said, "Everyone around here has been sent away..."

“It seems…that’s true…” Inoue Orihime said, looking around. There was no one on either side of the road.

"Was it done by that Grim Reaper?" Chad asked hastily.

“Ah, it seems so.” Kurosaki Ichigo nodded. “Well then, I’ll head over there too. This enemy… is very strong.”

Chad reached out his hand as if to offer to help, but quickly stopped himself. He knew... even if he went over now, he would only make things worse and be a hindrance...

"Let's go, Inoue."

"Are we just leaving like this..." Orihime Inoue felt a lump in her throat as she watched Ichigo Kurosaki leave, her gaze fixed on the spiritual pressure in the distance that seemed to have dyed the entire world green...

It always gives her a sense of...

After this, it felt like Ichigo Kurosaki would never come back...

Chapter 1093 [The following text appears to be a fragment and requires further context for accurate translation: "The 1093 [unclear text]"]

"What's wrong? You don't seem very surprised."

Uruciola looked at Ryougi Shiki and said.

“That’s right, it’s really nothing to be surprised about. It would be a problem if there wasn’t even this level of spiritual pressure.” Ryougi Shiki said, tightening her own nerves as well.

She knows who is weaker right now.

Without a doubt, it was her...

When she arrived in the human world, she and Ryougi Kazuya were marked with the Eleventh Division's crest because they were the captain and vice-captain of the Eleventh Division, respectively. Their spiritual pressure was suppressed to the extreme, only one-fifth of what it was normally.

Facing Uruzior's Resurrection in this state...

"Is that so? Then..."

Chi———

A dark green light blade appeared in Ulquiorra's hand and almost instantly appeared in front of Ryougi Shiki, slashing at her.
