After releasing the Cero, Yuma didn't stop. He raised his Zanpakuto towards Hulk and Tony.
A large amount of white spiritual pressure began to gather and compress on the blade of Yuma's Zanpakuto.
"Getsuga Tenshō!"
Yuma, wearing the mask, said softly, his tone devoid of emotion.
As the Zanpakuto swung down, a giant crescent-shaped spiritual pressure blade emerged from the blade. It instantly turned black and red, like a real blade, and slashed towards Hulk and Tony.
"Jarvis, gather energy to the chest." Tony shouted, seeing Yuma's attack coming.
"Yes, sir. Energy is gathered," Jarvis paused and said. "I suggest you dodge, sir. The other side's energy level is too high. You might not be able to withstand it."
Tony didn't listen to Jarvis' advice. Instead, he launched a powerful energy beam from his chest, targeting the black spiritual pressure.
Two beams of energy, one blue and one black, violently collided in the air, then stood in a stalemate.
The black spiritual pressure blade cut through the blue energy beam in less than three seconds and continued to advance towards Tony.
"Sir, energy remaining 60%. Your energy can't block the other side," Jarvis said calmly. "After analysis, there is a 70% chance that the black energy can destroy your titanium alloy armor. I suggest you dodge."
"Alright." Tony sighed, deactivated the energy in his chest, and then activated his thrusters to fly to the side.
Hulk also quickly followed and dodged.
Boom!
The black Getsuga Tenshō, without anything to block it, instantly attacked the spot where the two of them had been standing. The powerful impact split the entire earth in two, going down to nearly a hundred meters before dissipating.
When the dust settled, a giant crack nearly a kilometer long appeared on the ground, bottomless.
"OK, Jarvis, your suggestion was right," Tony said, looking at the giant crack on the ground. Then he raised his right arm towards Yuma. "This is for your attack just now."
As he spoke, the armor on Tony's forearm bulged, then launched three mini-missiles.
The missiles trailed flames, constantly changing direction, flying towards Yuma from above, middle, and below.
Yuma raised his left hand and waved it. The water in the air in front of him immediately condensed. In a blink of an eye, it formed a giant, semicircular ice wall, protecting him inside.
The three mini-missiles hit the ice wall, causing a huge explosion. The powerful flames from the explosion engulfed Yuma and the ice wall, completely enveloping the area in black smoke.
"Ice Dragon's Tail Spin!"
Just as Tony and Hulk were thinking about whether to go forward and check on Yuma, Yuma's voice came from the smoke.
As Yuma swung his sword, all the smoke around him cleared. With Yuma as the center, ice began to continuously appear in the air in the direction Yuma's Zanpakuto tip had drawn, extending towards Hulk, Tony, and the Abomination. In a blink of an eye, it reached the three of them.
"Sir, this energy…" Jarvis' voice was interrupted by Tony.
"I understand. Hulk, dodge quickly." Tony shouted to Hulk, then the two of them separated and dodged to the sides.
In an instant, the nearby ground, trees, and air were all covered in ice. The giant ice pillars reflected a cold light like mirrors in the sunlight.
The Abomination wasn't as lucky as the two of them. It was completely frozen by the ice pillars, turning into a giant ice sculpture in a blink of an eye.
Yuma tapped his toes on the ground and quickly flew towards the Abomination. His Zanpakuto drew an arc in the air. The blade immediately released a giant ice dragon, opening its mouth and lunging towards the Abomination.
"Sir, Agent Romanoff is requesting a call," Jarvis' voice rang out as Tony and Hulk had just dodged the freezing. "Do you want to connect?"
"Stark, this is Romanoff," a woman's voice came from the communicator as soon as Tony connected. "Yuma is out of control now. You and Hulk need to find a way to wake him up. Otherwise, General Ross will indiscriminately bomb him and the Abomination."
"Are you crazy?" Tony shouted. "Yuma is our teammate. You're actually doing this to him!"
"He's out of control now!" General Ross' voice suddenly came from the communicator. "He's very strong now. He's going to attack everyone. If you can't stop him, who knows how much damage he'll cause!"
"That's just your guess," Tony said in a deep voice. "Yuma hasn't done anything irreversible."
"As long as there's a possibility, we have to nip it in the bud." General Ross replied. "If we wait for him to go on a killing spree and cause catastrophic consequences, it'll be too late."
"Like Hulk?" Tony sarcastically said. "If something happens that you can't control, you're ready to eliminate him immediately?"
"Listen, Yuma is our friend. We won't let you hurt him."
After saying that, Tony hung up the communicator.
"Hulk, you go first. We need to wake Yuma up as soon as possible." Tony turned to Hulk. "If we drag this out, I'm afraid Ross and the others will really attack Yuma."
Hulk nodded, stomped his feet on the ground, and jumped towards Yuma and the Abomination.
…
After the Abomination was frozen by the ice pillars, it broke free from them soon after.
As soon as it broke free, the Abomination hadn't even had time to stand firm before it was entangled by the ice dragon, which bit its neck.
Roar!
The Abomination roared in pain, its left hand grabbing the ice dragon's neck, its right arm wrapping around the ice dragon's body. It began to exert force, trying to tear the ice dragon apart.
Yuma followed the ice dragon and arrived in front of the Abomination. He raised his Zanpakuto with both hands and swung it down sharply. The blade slashed down towards the Abomination's body.
Seeing this, the Abomination quickly closed all its scales, tightly against its skin, protecting all its parts.
The blade struck the scales on the Abomination's body. Sparks flew, and there was a sound of metal clashing.
"Hyaa!"
Yuma gripped the hilt of the sword tightly and used all his strength to press the blade down.
The blade slowly cut through the other side's scales, then cut through its skin, and finally went all the way down, directly cutting into its flesh.
Hiss!
The Abomination's body, from its chest to its waist, was cut open by Yuma, a deep wound visible to the bone. A large amount of blood spurted out, staining the nearby grass red.
After tearing the ice dragon apart, the Abomination ignored the wound on its body. Its left fist suddenly smashed towards Yuma on the ground.
Yuma dodged the other side's fist, then raised his left leg high, his left foot going over his head. He turned around and kicked down.
"Super Flying Kick!"
Boom!
The Abomination's giant fist was kicked by Yuma, smashing heavily onto the ground, sinking into the ground up to its elbow.
The Abomination's entire body fell uncontrollably towards the ground.
"Cero!"
When the Abomination fell to the ground, Yuma stepped on its face with his right foot. His voice was cold.
In an instant, a giant white Cero condensed under Yuma's foot. It exploded on the Abomination's head, in its terrified eyes!
…
"Is this how he killed Emil?" General Ross asked softly, looking at the screen.
No one responded to him. Everyone was stunned, watching the Abomination, which had been completely abused by Yuma, being engulfed in the Cero.
"Is this the power of Death?" Natasha murmured, looking at the figure wearing a mask and holding a Zanpakuto.
Hulk, Iron Man, and a powerful Abomination couldn't even fight him… . After the Cero blast, a huge deep pit appeared underground. The Abomination's head was charred black, as if it had been roasted by fire, and was emitting white smoke.
Yuma raised his right foot, no longer paying attention to the other side, and turned to face Tony and Hulk, who were flying towards him.
"Uh, I think this is not a good time for us to have a heart-to-heart with Yuma," Tony said awkwardly to Hulk, seeing the Abomination being brutally beaten by Yuma, unable to fight back. "He's in a bad mood now. He's very irritable and violent."
"Why don't we wait a bit and go again."
Hulk turned and gave Tony a look of disdain, then charged towards Yuma.
Seeing this, Yuma didn't dodge or avoid. He raised his Zanpakuto and met him, fighting Hulk in a melee.
Yuma's speed, strength, and defense were now many times stronger than before. Hulk couldn't keep up with Yuma's speed. Even if he occasionally landed a few punches on Yuma, with Yuma's defense, these physical attacks didn't do anything to him.
On the contrary, Hulk, because he was too slow and his body was too large, was cut several times by Yuma in the battle. Although he didn't have any fatal injuries, he was quite bruised.
After his attacks were dodged many times, and he was constantly cut by Yuma, Hulk became increasingly irritable and angry.
Roar!
When his fist missed again and his attack was dodged by Yuma, Hulk couldn't help but roar in anger. Then, he stood in place, no longer defending, and took a blow from Yuma.
Taking advantage of the moment Yuma was attacking him, Hulk grabbed Yuma's body and slammed him into the ground.
Hulk pressed Yuma firmly to the ground with his right hand, then raised his left fist and began to repeatedly punch Yuma, like driving a stake into the ground, one punch after another.
Crack!
After a dozen punches, a crack suddenly appeared on Yuma's body. Then, the crack spread like a spider web, instantly covering Yuma's entire body.
When Hulk punched Yuma on the ground again, Yuma's entire body instantly shattered like glass, turning into a pile of ice crystals.
After losing his target, Hulk released his right hand and looked around, trying to find the disappeared Yuma.
"What is this? A substitute?" Tony stopped beside Hulk, looking at the pile of ice crystal fragments curiously.
"Jarvis, scan for nearby life signals." Seeing that Hulk ignored him, Tony instructed Jarvis.
"Sir, there is a large energy fluctuation behind you."
Hearing Jarvis' words, Tony quickly turned around.
He saw a transparent figure slowly condensing in the air behind them.
The transparent figure gradually solidified, gradually revealing Yuma's outline. Soon, the figure transformed into Yuma.
Yuma pointed his Zanpakuto at the two of them, then the blade began to shatter, turning into fragments.
In a blink of an eye, countless small blades formed from the Zanpakuto surrounded Yuma, reflecting a light like scattered cherry blossoms in the sunlight.
Yuma raised his right hand and swung it towards the two of them. The countless cherry blossom-like blades instantly charged towards them, surrounding the two of them.
"Jarvis, split off some energy to form an energy shield!"
Seeing Yuma's attack coming, Tony didn't dare to be careless. He immediately called on Jarvis to defend.
"Yes, sir," Jarvis responded.
Soon, a blue circular energy shield formed in front of Tony, composed of countless hexagons, enveloping the two of them, blocking Yuma's attack.
"Sir, the shield's range is too large, resulting in insufficient thickness. It might not be able to withstand the other side's attack." Jarvis displayed the shield's data on the screen in front of Tony.
"Leave 20% for me. Put all the rest into the shield."
Tony gritted his teeth, looking at the alarm on the screen.
Countless blades, under Yuma's control, constantly charged towards Tony's energy shield, making a grinding sound.
Crack!
As Yuma controlled the blades to attack, a crack suddenly appeared on his Arrancar mask, extending from his left eye to his mouth.
"Sir, the other side's energy fluctuation has decreased by 30%." Jarvis scanned and immediately reported the data to Tony.
"Hulk, Yuma's energy has decreased. He should not be able to maintain this state for long," Tony shouted to Hulk, seeing the data. "I'll deactivate the energy shield later and attack Yuma to attract his attention. You seize the opportunity to attack him. You must wake him up!"
Seeing Hulk nod, Tony stopped inputting energy into the shield, then activated his thrusters and charged upwards.
In just a moment, countless scratches appeared on the surface of Tony's titanium alloy armor, turning the gold and red armor back to its original titanium alloy color.
Tony didn't stop in the air. He immediately released the five heavy missiles hidden in his shoulders towards Yuma.
As the missiles flew towards Yuma, Yuma had already retracted the blades that were surrounding Hulk. The countless cherry blossom-like blades returned to Yuma's hand, transforming into two fin-shaped Zanpakuto, connected by a chain with five tags.
The missiles exploded in front of Yuma. The five missiles exploded one after another, creating towering flames and smoke that continuously spread outwards.
Hulk saw that Yuma was engulfed by the flames from the explosion. He quickly rushed forward to grab him.
Before he could get close, all the flames and smoke stopped spreading, as if someone had pressed a switch to stop them.
The next moment, the explosion began to contract inwards, shrinking.
In front of Hulk and Tony's shocked eyes, all the energy from the explosion began to collapse continuously, until it was completely absorbed by Yuma's left Zanpakuto, as if it had never existed.
Then, the chain and five tags on Yuma's sword hilt lit up one after another from left to right.
Finally, the light gathered from the left blade to the tip of the right blade.
Yuma maintained a posture of holding the sword with both hands crossed. The tip of his left blade pointed at Tony, and the tip of his right blade pointed at Hulk.
When the light at the tip of his right blade reached its peak, it suddenly emitted a red energy beam towards Hulk, who was charging. The energy was stronger and faster than the energy from the explosion of the five missiles.
Boom!
Hulk didn't have time to dodge. He was instantly engulfed in the violent explosion.
Crack, crack…
After reflecting the explosive attack back to Hulk, the cracks on Yuma's mask began to widen. Then, the part of the Arrancar mask below his eyes suddenly fell off his face and fell down. Before it hit the ground, it turned into spiritual particles and dissipated into the air.
"Sir, the other side's energy fluctuation has decreased to 30% of its original level." Jarvis reported promptly.
Yuma, with only the upper part of his Arrancar mask left, put away his Sōgyo no Kotowari, transforming it back into his white-bodied, black-bladed Zanpakuto. Then he raised his left hand above his head.
"Hulk, come out quickly. Yuma's energy is very low now. This is a good opportunity to wake him up."
Seeing that Yuma was about to release a new skill, Tony quickly shouted to Banner.
Yuma's skills are so strange and difficult to resist. Tony was really worried that Yuma would use some other undefeatable skill next.
Yuma's energy is almost depleted. The next attack will likely be his last attack. It's also likely to be his strongest technique.
Tony wasn't confident in being able to block it. He could only try to wake Yuma up before he released it.
