The labyrinth fell completely silent.
Zommari stared intently at Shigure, his breathing unconsciously becoming faster and faster.
He had heard every word Shigure just said clearly in his ears, each word crystal clear.
But he couldn't understand it.
Shouldn't battles be competitions of speed and technique...?
This was the belief he had always held.
After all, he possessed the fastest Sonído among the Espada, and the most sinister ability to manipulate enemies themselves.
But now, this ability had been completely nullified.
This so-called spiritual pressure gap... to what extent would it need to reach to completely ignore his Brujería ability...?
This was something Zommari completely couldn't understand.
He slowly lowered his eyes, but at this moment, his body suddenly stiffened, then his eyes immediately widened again.
Shigure stood opposite him, taking everything in with his Resonance Eyes, saying calmly:
"That guy above is secretly transmitting messages to you using spiritual pressure, right?"
?!
Zommari's expression shifted.
Shigure's gaze remained calm as he said: "So, what did he tell you to do? Escape?"
Zommari didn't answer, instead lowering his eyes and saying flatly:
"I see..."
Just then, a sudden change occurred.
The surrounding labyrinth walls actually began rapidly becoming transparent, and the green light above also began disappearing.
At this moment, the hearing and spiritual pressure sensing sealed on everyone instantly returned.
Seeing this, Tōshirō Hitsugaya's gaze sharpened as he considered:
"Has that guy's ability timed out...?"
As his words fell, the surrounding walls had already become completely transparent and disappeared.
In an instant, the surrounding environment brightened again, returning to the gray-white desert.
Though everyone had been far apart in the labyrinth.
After the Moonlight Butterfly's labyrinth effect disappeared, their positions remained where they originally were.
So the first thing Hitsugaya saw were the corpses of Nnoitra and Szayelaporro across from them.
The moment he saw clearly, his breathing immediately stopped.
This... this was all solved by Segawa...?!
In this complex labyrinth, he could still consecutively kill two Arrancar and rush to our side...?!
Tōshirō Hitsugaya looked at Shigure's back, his gaze filled with shock.
He had found Soi Fon purely by luck before, completely unable to imagine how Shigure had managed it.
Just then, several joyful shouts came.
"Captain!" "Captain!!"
It was Rukia, Rangiku, and Ōmaeda.
At this time, in the sky, Yuka Ludwig sitting on the green moon quickly flew to Zommari's side.
Both sides fell into a face-to-face standoff again, just like before.
But now, two Espada on the Arrancar side had died completely.
On this side, only Soi Fon was temporarily unable to move due to Zommari's ability.
The situation was already obvious.
When Rukia and the others saw Soi Fon's condition clearly, their faces immediately showed worry.
"Captain Soi Fon..."
"She's temporarily fine." Hitsugaya quickly answered.
"She's been hit by that Arrancar's ability. As long as we deal with him, she should return to normal."
Hearing this, the three of them finally relaxed.
But seeing them show relaxed expressions, Zommari's face instantly became twisted.
"I... I... just..."
"Just can't stand... you Soul Reapers' arrogant attitudes!!!"
Before his words finished, the spiritual pressure on his body began surging violently, all the eyes on his entire body widening to their maximum at this moment.
Those yellow pupils appeared especially sinister under the deep purple aura.
Invisible spiritual pressure instantly covered everyone.
Rangiku and the others hadn't reacted yet, but feeling this spiritual pressure, Hitsugaya's face changed dramatically again.
He suddenly realized.
The labyrinth's disappearance wasn't because Yuka's Moonlight Butterfly had timed out...
But because they wanted to expose everyone's positions this way, making it convenient for Zommari to use his ability to manipulate Rangiku and the others behind!
Realizing this, Hitsugaya immediately wanted to attack, but then he froze.
Because he discovered that Shigure's expression beside him remained calm.
What... was going on?
He couldn't possibly have failed to notice the situation here... why hadn't his expression changed at all?
Just then, Shigure suddenly glanced at him, showing a faint smile:
"This time you're slightly more calm."
Before Hitsugaya could react, Shigure lightly raised his hand, saying quietly:
"Bakudō #81: Dankū."
Boom!
As his words fell, a huge water-blue light barrier suddenly descended, falling directly in front of Shigure and the others!
Then, a black sunflower pattern actually appeared out of thin air on the light barrier!
Hitsugaya's face immediately changed slightly. "This is..."
He naturally realized this was exactly the mark Zommari had previously imprinted on Soi Fon's and Shigure's faces.
Even now, Hitsugaya's disabled left arm bore such a mark.
Seeing this scene, Yuka and Zommari across from them suddenly became completely stunned.
"How... is this possible?!!"
Yuka screamed unwillingly at the top of his lungs.
When he saw Shigure nullify Zommari's ability before, he understood they wouldn't be able to escape the labyrinth for much longer.
So Yuka had thought of actively abandoning the labyrinth, using this strategy to buy more time, but...
It had no effect at all!
Zommari's ability had been intercepted by this Soul Reaper using some completely unknown technique!
Thinking carefully, from the very beginning... Shigure had been overturning his perception again and again.
From using spiritual pressure to make him prostrate, all the way to later killing Nnoitra and Szayelaporro, and now...
He had repeatedly shattered Yuka's cognitive limits.
At this moment, Yuka Ludwig had fallen into a completely frenzied state, his expression fierce as he screamed loudly:
"Just what are you?!!"
Seeing his terrifying appearance, Rangiku and the others couldn't help but feel tense.
But Shigure's expression remained calm as he gently drew the sword from his waist, saying indifferently:
"A Soul Reaper."
