Faced with Gonaldo's devastating attack, Yomei Kagawa remained unfazed. The tip of his Zanpakutō, already extended, unleashed a powerful burst of spiritual pressure.
Using the recoil, he propelled himself backward, narrowly evading Gonaldo's lethal blow.
Knowing his opponent was formidable, Yomei Kagawa raised his Zanpakutō, activating its Shikai.
"Slaughter, Jigoku Shura!"
Yomei Kagawa's form became slightly translucent, as if shrouded in shadow. His Zanpakutō blade turned jet black, radiating a chilling aura.
The most striking change, however, was to his face. His previously refined features were completely transformed. His eyes slanted upwards, and his mouth seemed to split to his ears, forming a grotesque, unsettling smile.
Even Gin Ichimaru, renowned for his own unsettling demeanor, would pale in comparison to this unsettling visage.
Witnessing Yomei Kagawa's transformation, Gonaldo remained unconcerned. He knew that Shinigami, upon releasing their Zanpakutō, could unleash a variety of bizarre abilities; this one was merely unusually grotesque in appearance.
However, just as he was about to launch another attack, Yomei Kagawa vanished from sight.
Before Gonaldo could react, a searing pain pierced his back—Yomei Kagawa had struck him from behind.
Thanks to Gonaldo's immense spiritual pressure and sturdy armor, the attack failed to penetrate, leaving only a superficial wound.
Startled by the surprise attack, Gonaldo spun around, but found nothing. Then, another sharp pain struck his neck.
Again, due to his immense spiritual pressure and defenses, Yomei Kagawa's attack failed to behead Gonaldo, leaving only a deep gash.
Gonaldo was both enraged and fearful. While the attacks weren't lethal, Yomei Kagawa's impossible speed and unpredictable strikes completely overwhelmed him.
"Crush the world, Granite Giant!"
Gonaldo roared, activating his second Resurrección.
A layer of smooth, hard material coated his already thick armor, rendering it virtually impenetrable.
Behind him, a colossal Granite Giant, crowned and radiating immense spiritual pressure, materialized. This giant possessed the ability to manipulate gravity.
A radius of approximately one hundred meters around the Granite Giant experienced a dramatic increase in gravitational force, causing the ground to cave in.
Anyone within this area would be severely hampered by the increased gravity.
"You're fast, are you? Let's see how you fare under this crushing gravity!" Gonaldo bellowed.
As the increased gravity enveloped the area, Yomei Kagawa's speed was significantly hampered.
While Gonaldo couldn't see Yomei Kagawa's movements before, he could now perceive a superimposed shadow constantly circling him.
This superimposed shadow was Yomei Kagawa in his Shikai state.
Spotting Yomei Kagawa, Gonaldo immediately ordered the Granite Giant to attack.
Despite its immense size, the Granite Giant's attacks were surprisingly swift. Fists larger than an adult human rained down upon the area.
With deafening crashes, the ground was transformed into a massive crater, and Kenpachi Kiganjō, caught in the attack, was reduced to nothing more than scattered remains.
Yomei Kagawa, utilizing his incredible speed, dodged the attacks while seeking an opening.
After a series of agile maneuvers, Yomei Kagawa found his opportunity, scaling the Granite Giant's arm and reaching its head.
Looking down at Gonaldo, who had his back turned, Yomei Kagawa unleashed his full spiritual pressure, launching a devastating downward strike.
"Jigoku Zan, First Style: Wryo Bunshi!"
Black flames, filled with the tormented screams of countless vengeful spirits, ignited on Yomei Kagawa's blade. The sight alone was enough to evoke a chilling sense of dread.
Yomei Kagawa's blade descended, a black arc of energy aimed at Gonaldo's head, as if intending to cleave him in two. The downward force of gravity amplified the attack's power.
Gonaldo, sensing the attack, swung his staff to counter. The staff shattered upon impact with the black blade, which continued its trajectory, piercing Gonaldo's left chest.
Having breached Gonaldo's defenses, Yomei Kagawa's eyes flashed with cold determination.
"Jigoku Zan, Second Style: Ukan!"
With a deft twist of his wrist, the black Zanpakutō, already embedded in Gonaldo's chest, arced slightly, ripping out Gonaldo's heart.
Clutching the oversized heart, Yomei Kagawa swiftly distanced himself, crushing the heart in his hand.
Gonaldo screamed in agony, his spiritual pressure rapidly diminishing, his armor beginning to peel away, seemingly mortally wounded.
But then, a blue light emanated from his chest, enveloping his body. His wounds rapidly healed, and even his extracted heart regenerated.
Yomei Kagawa, who believed he had won, felt a chill of apprehension. Having remained close to Aizen, he was unaware of Yusuke's Dōgyoku experiments and the Arrancar's remarkable regenerative abilities.
"Hahahaha, you cannot kill me. That was close. I'll have to use my full power to eliminate you!"
Gonaldo roared, and the Granite Giant raised its arms, a massive black spiritual energy sphere forming above its head.
This sphere possessed an incredibly powerful gravitational pull, attracting surrounding sand, rocks, and trees, like a black hole.
The sphere continuously compressed itself, growing smaller as it absorbed more matter, its gravitational pull increasing exponentially.
Even Yomei Kagawa was unable to maintain his position, uncontrollably drawn towards the spiritual energy sphere above the Granite Giant. Despite struggling against the pull, his efforts were futile.
Seeing Yomei Kagawa almost completely immobilized, Gonaldo's face contorted in a cruel grin.
"Die, you brat! King Hollow's Flash!"
Gonaldo opened his mouth, a bright green Cero forming, aimed directly at the approaching Yomei Kagawa.
Trapped by the Granite Giant's gravitational pull, Yomei Kagawa was unable to dodge, forced to rely solely on his own strength to withstand the attack.
"It seems I'll have to use my Bankai to survive."
As this thought crossed Yomei Kagawa's mind, he sensed two distinct Shinigami spiritual pressures approaching.
