This figure was naturally Shigure, who had rushed over.
Hearing Tōshirō Hitsugaya's voice, he lowered his hand and turned his head slightly, chuckling:
"Hitsugaya, isn't your response a bit excessive?"
"Bankai... isn't something so cheap."
Hitsugaya's expression froze.
Just now, he had clearly seen that when Shigure raised his hand, he hadn't used Hakuda.
That meant... he had simply gathered spiritual pressure bare-handed and crushed Daiguren Hyōrinmaru's attack!
How was that possible...?!
Hitsugaya's gaze was fixed, feeling a chill down his back.
Then, the 7th Espada Zommari spoke in his thick voice from the distance.
"State your name... Soul Reaper who suddenly intruded."
His gaze was slightly lowered, expression showing neither joy nor sorrow.
Regarding Shigure's intrusion, he seemed like a mere observer, with no emotional fluctuation in his heart.
Shigure slowly turned his head, his expression returning to calm, but he didn't look at Zommari. Instead, he looked at the controlled Soi Fon.
Then he raised his hand slightly, saying quietly: "Bakudō #61: Rikujōkōrō."
Swoosh!
As his words fell, six golden light panels suddenly flew out from around them, instantly locking Soi Fon's body.
At this moment, Shigure's spiritual pressure also attached to the Rikujōkōrō, making its light shine even brighter.
The controlled Soi Fon's body began surging with spiritual pressure, seemingly trying to break free from these restraints.
But the Rikujōkōrō enhanced by Shigure's spiritual pressure was completely beyond what she could resist in her current state.
So no matter how she struggled, the light prison remained motionless.
Seeing this, Hitsugaya couldn't help but show slight movement in his gaze.
Segawa... truly a Kidō master, to so easily...
Then Zommari's voice came again.
"Excellent technique... then, Soul Reaper, state your name."
He looked at Shigure with a gloomy gaze, beginning to float slowly toward them, saying simultaneously:
"I really don't want to kill nameless people."
Shigure looked up at him slightly, saying calmly:
"Is that necessary?"
"Even if you knew, could you manage to kill me?"
"..."
Hearing this, Zommari stopped his body, silently closing his eyes slightly. After a moment, he said:
"I see..."
Just as these words fell, the yellow eyes on his lower body suddenly widened.
At this moment, all the eyes stared directly at Shigure.
Around the eyes, deep purple sinister aura immediately appeared, rushing directly toward Shigure in an instant.
Simultaneously, Zommari spoke heavily, as if lamenting:
"Unknown Soul Reaper, you have only one reason for failure, and that is arrogance..."
Seeing this, Tōshirō Hitsugaya immediately reacted, his face changing dramatically as he shouted:
"Dodge quickly! Segawa! That aura just controlled Soi Fon!!"
When he had tried to charge and attack Zommari before, he was hit by this aura, causing his left arm to be controlled.
If Shigure was also controlled now...
Then Hitsugaya was certain he would fall into absolute dire straits.
After all, Shigure could crush Daiguren Hyōrinmaru's attack bare-handed. Once they faced off, it wouldn't be something the word "troublesome" could describe.
That's why Hitsugaya was so anxious now.
Hearing this, Zommari looked over, saying calmly:
"Useless, it's already too late. My eyes have successfully 'gazed' upon him."
As his words fell, a black sunflower pattern instantly appeared on Shigure's forehead!
Seeing this scene, Hitsugaya's heart suddenly "thumped," his face changing dramatically.
"Segawa!!"
Zommari raised his head slightly, looking at the void above the labyrinth, as if praying, saying devoutly:
"Lord Aizen..."
"It seems the enemy you entrusted to me has ultimately... been defeated by my hand, Zommari Rureaux."
"Being able to remove obstacles for you is my greatest honor..."
Finishing, he turned his head again, looking at Shigure, saying calmly:
"Take action, Soul Reaper."
"Use your own hands to personally draw the final curtain on your invasion, completely... bring this to an end."
Hearing this, Hitsugaya's expression had become extremely ugly.
"No way out..."
He bit his teeth tightly, raising Daiguren Hyōrinmaru in his hand again, pointing it directly at Shigure.
But just then, Shigure, who had been motionless, suddenly turned to look this way, chuckling lightly:
"Hitsugaya, why do you have such a serious expression?"
?!
Tōshirō Hitsugaya's body shook violently, pupils contracting suddenly.
What was happening?!
Shigure's face did indeed have that black sunflower pattern...
But his gaze was completely different from the controlled Soi Fon's, still crystal clear.
"Not... not controlled...?!"
Even he didn't realize his heart had immediately relaxed greatly.
Shigure smiled silently, then turned to look at Zommari again.
At this time, the black sunflower pattern on his face actually began slowly fading.
"What... is this?"
Seeing this scene, Zommari unconsciously uttered these two words.
Though his expression remained calm, his pupils couldn't help but contract tightly.
The next moment, he immediately reacted, shouting loudly:
"Drown in 'love'!!!"
Before his words finished, all the forward-facing eyes on his body widened simultaneously again, staring at Shigure.
The deep purple sinister aura rushed out once more, directly hitting Shigure.
But this time... nothing happened at all.
?!
"How... how is this possible...?!"
Zommari's expression froze slightly, speaking somewhat dazedly.
The love of Brujería... should have already dominated his hands!
Why... was there no effect?!
Shigure looked up slightly, gazing over calmly, saying flatly:
"It's useless."
"Battles between Soul Reapers and Hollows are essentially battles of spiritual pressure."
"When our spiritual pressure gap is too large, your ability won't have any effect on me."
"These things..."
"Didn't... Aizen tell you?"
