My former subordinate, who I hadn't seen in a while, could actually stand against me with a sword.

Nnoitra couldn't believe it.

"Stop talking nonsense!" shouted the Animal Path Pain, who had taken on the form of a wild boar-like Menos Grande. His voice was cold, and he wasn't in the mood for pointless talk.

Gripping his Soul-Slaying Sword, he suddenly flashed forward and swung the blade from a strange, sharp angle.

SWOOSH!

The sound of the blade slicing through the air rang out.

A splash of blood followed.

Nnoitra looked down in shock and fury. A thin cut had opened on his arm.

"Kendō… the swordsmanship of the Shinigami?!"

He was furious. He couldn't believe that someone with far less Reiatsu than him had actually managed to injure his shoulder.

Luckily, his wound healed almost instantly—thanks to his special ability: super-speed regeneration.

With both hands gripping his weapon, Nnoitra attacked even more ferociously.

In just moments, the Animal Path was being overwhelmed.

Qiye wasn't surprised. After all, this version of Beast Path Pain only had the Reiatsu of a captain, pieced together from various abilities.

But Nnoitra was no ordinary fighter—he was the Fifth Espada. His strength was high, even among captains.

Then, in a golden flash of light—

The Beast Path Pain, who looked like Dessler, had one of his arms sliced off cleanly. Blood sprayed into the air, but his expression remained cold and calm.

At the same time, he struck Nnoitra in the abdomen with his remaining hand and said in a low, icy voice:

"Feel the pain. Understand the pain."

"Summoning Technique!"

Black markings quickly spread across Nnoitra's abdomen. In an instant, searing pain shot through his body, and he screamed out in agony:

"AAAAAHHHH!!!"

A puff of thick white smoke exploded outward.

(TLnote- ayoo snoop dog)

From within the smoke, a massive three-headed hellhound emerged, its body radiating hollow energy.

It lunged straight at Nnoitra—the one carrying the technique—and sank its fangs into him, tearing off a chunk of flesh.

"ARRRGHH!!!"

Nnoitra roared, now consumed by pain and rage.

Blinded by fury, he opened his mouth. At the tip of his tongue, he gathered a golden surge of powerful Reiatsu and fired it like a laser beam toward the Animal Path.

Just in time—

A hand appeared out of thin air in front of the Animal Path Pain, stopping the attack cold.

"Hungry Kidō."

Nanaya said calmly.

Shockingly, the golden Cero was completely absorbed by his hand.

"What!?" Nnoitra stared in disbelief.

Nanaya stood protectively in front of the injured Animal Path Pain, holding Nilu in his arms. He smiled and said:

"I'm quite satisfied with this Animal Path. I can't let you destroy it so easily."

As he spoke, he activated an ability with a thought.

Behind him, the King of Hell emerged. Its massive mouth opened and swallowed the one-armed Animal Path Pain whole.

The beast began chewing, slowly healing the Animal Path's injuries from within.

Nnoitra's eyes widened. He now recognized who Nanaya was—and who Nilu was.

His face darkened with anger.

"Damn intruders… and that cursed woman."

Nilu, still in Qiye's arms, hugged his head tightly. Then, she peeked out and glared at Nnoitra with fiery anger.

"Nilu hates you! Hates you so much!"

Nnoitra sneered and snapped back:

"Foolish woman. You dare show your face to me again after ending up like this?"

"As a woman, you should have let yourself be devoured by me long ago. But now, you're nothing—neither human nor Hollow."

"But don't worry. This time, you won't get away. I'll completely devour you and make you part of my power."

His words were full of hatred and scorn.

Hearing his cruel, sexist remarks, Little Nilu trembled with fury. She waved her tiny fists in the air as a burst of purple Reiatsu exploded from her body.

Qiye looked over in surprise. But just as suddenly as it appeared, the purple Reiatsu faded away again.

"Whoa, Nilu! How did you do that?" Qiye asked, rubbing her head in amazement. For a moment, it had seemed like the little girl was about to transform into something far more powerful.

"I don't know," Nilu said softly. "Little Nilu was just… really angry."

Nilu shook her head, clearly confused.

"Invaders… and that foolish woman—stop standing around chatting!! Go to hell! I'm the strongest!!"

Nnoitra's eyes burned with rage. Swinging his scythe-shaped weapon, golden Reiatsu exploded around him like a storm.

He shouted:

"Pray—Santa Teresa!!"

(TLnote-bro is sending him to jesus)

BOOM!

Golden energy surged into the sky.

Within the swirling Reiatsu, Nnoitra's body began to transform. A pale liquid spread across his face, hardening into a mask.

A crescent-shaped horn grew from his head, and a yellow cross-shaped mark appeared across his face. His Hollow mask now had a tooth-like design covering his eyes.

Six new arms burst from his body—each one gripping a scythe that looked like a twisted figure-eight.

His form now radiated overwhelming power—majestic and terrifying.

The surge in energy drew the attention of the other Espadas. One by one, they appeared near the battlefield: Harribel, Ulquiorra, Grimmjow, and Yammy.

They stood at a distance, watching the situation unfold.

"Is this the intruder? He doesn't look strong… but something feels off," said Harribel, her voice calm but cautious.

"Nnoitra already released his Resurrección…" murmured Ulquiorra.

"Tch. If my arm wasn't injured, I could tear that human apart in seconds," Grimmjow growled.

"Hahaha! That Hollow mask on the human's head… could that really be Nelliel? Did she become human again?" Yammy laughed mockingly.

"Back off!" Nnoitra snapped. "He's mine. I'll kill him with my own hands!!"

Nnoitra's murderous intent filled the air. He charged forward, slamming his foot into the ground, and swung his six figure-eight scythes violently.

"Die, all of you! Humans, women—trash!!"

But Qiye didn't move. He didn't even flinch.

He stood there calmly, a slight smile on his face.

SWOOSH!

The blade pierced straight through Qiye's chest.

Nnoitra froze.

Then his expression changed drastically.

There was no sensation. It didn't feel like he had cut through anything real.

Before he could process what happened, Qiye made his move.

Since they were so close, Qiye calmly reached out and placed one hand on Nnoitra's head. The Hollow transformation vanished instantly.

In a soft, steady voice, he said:

"Super Shinra Tensei."

A wave of overwhelming force exploded outward.

It was like being struck by lightning.

Nnoitra's body collapsed under the pressure. It felt like a mountain had slammed down on him. He dropped to his knees with a loud thud, unable to resist.

The sheer weight shattered the ground beneath him.

Before he could even react, the force crushed him straight into the solid stone of the Menos Forest.

BANG!!

The terrain cracked and caved in. Rock split, and the soil collapsed. It felt as if the sky itself was pressing down, warping space with its weight.

When Qiye pulled his hand back, a bottomless pit had formed beneath him.

It wasn't wide—but it went so deep that even the Rinnegan couldn't see the bottom.

The four Espadas nearby were stunned.

Their faces tensed. Their Reiatsu flared. Each instinctively reached for their Zanpakutō.

"Nnoitra… couldn't even fight back!?" Grimmjow was in disbelief.

He might act tough, but he wasn't an idiot. He knew his limits.

Nnoitra was ranked fifth among the Espada.

Grimmjow was sixth—which meant Nnoitra was technically stronger than him.

But someone that strong had just been slammed into the earth like nothing—and still hadn't climbed out.

"Nnoitra was too arrogant," Harribel said coldly.

As the only female Espada, her relationship with the sexist Nnoitra was always strained.

Ulquiorra added, "Arrogance, yes. But that human's ability… it's strange."

The others gave small nods, agreeing silently.

As they whispered among themselves, Qiye scowled and snapped:

"What are you mumbling about? Scram."

"Shinra Tensei!!"

Another wave of invisible repulsive force surged toward the Espadas.

Reacting instantly, all four fired their own Cero without hesitation.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

Beams of colored energy tore through the air.

They collided with the invisible force in a thunderous explosion. The impact shook the surroundings and destroyed everything nearby.

But none of the Cero harmed Qiye.

All of them were absorbed by the Hungry Kidō technique.

Just as the battle seemed ready to erupt again—

Nnoitra finally crawled out of the crater, bloodied and barely standing. Though his wounds had mostly healed, he was trembling with rage.

"You… human! I'll never forgive you!!"

He charged again, but like before—

Every strike passed straight through Qiye's body, as if he wasn't even there.

Again and again, Nnoitra slashed—but it was useless.

Qiye calmly mirrored what the Animal Path Pain had done earlier.

He pressed his right hand against his chest and said:

"Summoning Technique: Gedo Statue!"
