The rainbow orb of white-walled light gathered at Shigure's fingertip.
A massive spiritual pressure storm erupted around them. The air howled.
Spiritual particles radiating from Shigure's body were sucked in like light caught by a black hole, rapidly feeding the Cero!
Ulquiorra's pupils shrank. His body froze completely.
The shock in his heart went beyond words.
Segawa Shigure—a Soul Reaper—was firing a Cero without any Hollowfication!
His spiritual pressure, his spiritual particles, even his soul had completely transformed into Hollow energy.
This wasn't some Soul Reaper's Hollowfication. This was pure Hollow power.
Ulquiorra's spiritual pressure resistance could only defend against Segawa Shigure as a Soul Reaper. Against this attack, his body had no protection!
Realizing this, Ulquiorra abandoned his Lightning Spear. He used Sonído to dodge.
Whoosh!
He released the spear and vanished, reappearing far behind Shigure.
Before he could steady himself, six golden light strips shot out from all sides. They formed shackles that bound him instantly!
Bakudō #61: Six Rods Prison of Light!
Ulquiorra's breath caught. He looked up sharply. The Lightning Spear exploded!
BOOM!!
A massive dark green spiritual pressure storm expanded rapidly, swallowing Shigure's form completely. The shockwave sent debris flying everywhere.
"Did it hit?"
Ulquiorra stared at the explosion, his heart racing. Then something unexpected happened.
A rainbow light column burst through the dark green storm. It cleared away all the green light and shot straight at him!
Shigure's Cero.
Ulquiorra jerked in shock. He tried breaking free from the Six Rods Prison, but the spiritual pressure density was too strong to break quickly.
The rainbow Cero arrived instantly.
Just before hitting his body, it expanded suddenly, engulfing even his massive wings!
BOOM!!!
Brilliant rainbow light devoured Ulquiorra completely.
The entire southern pillar wall of Las Noches behind him was instantly destroyed, collapsing entirely!
The deafening roar echoed throughout all of Las Noches.
Moments later, the rainbow column faded.
What remained was white rubble stretching dozens of yards wide and hundreds long.
Through the dust, Ulquiorra was still locked in the Six Rods Prison.
But now he was completely broken.
His black wings were shattered, gone. Only scattered feathers mixed with blood remained on the white bone of his back.
His massive horns were completely destroyed, only half remaining.
His body showed fractures and collapse from the enormous impact.
Blood covered his face, stripping away his aloof demeanor.
Shigure slowly lowered his hand. Looking at the scene, his expression showed neither joy nor sorrow.
This was his first time using Hollow power since his bloodline breakthrough.
Complete Hollowfication—both soul and spiritual pressure transformed simultaneously.
With his ultimate Annihilation Reiatsu, this fully charged Cero's power didn't surprise him.
What surprised him was Ulquiorra.
He was still alive.
"Ulquiorra, your body has improved considerably after Aizen's Hōgyoku modifications."
"To survive my fully charged Cero with your soul intact."
"That's truly surprising."
Shigure walked forward slowly, speaking calmly.
Ulquiorra's expression didn't change. He slowly lowered his eyes.
The light in his deep green pupils was like stagnant water, completely dull.
He'd wanted to ask how a Soul Reaper could possess such pure Hollow power.
But now he realized it was meaningless.
He was defeated.
In this battle between Soul Reaper and Hollow, the loser's fate was death.
Even getting an answer would be pointless.
After death, everything becomes nothingness.
After a moment, Ulquiorra raised his eyes slightly, looking at Shigure with indifference:
"Do it, Segawa Shigure."
"End my life with your power."
Nothing remained in his gaze after these words.
No shock, no hesitation, no regret, no fighting spirit.
Everything was nothingness.
Shigure stopped and gazed at him briefly, then said calmly:
"I would have done this anyway."
Shigure raised his hand lightly, fingertip pointing at Ulquiorra's chain of fate.
A white-walled rainbow Cero orb appeared before his finger. The massive storm made Shigure's clothes flutter and disheveled Ulquiorra's black hair.
But Ulquiorra's gaze never changed. He watched Shigure quietly.
Shigure lowered his eyes slightly and said softly:
"'Farewell' seems wrong for someone with your power now."
"So... until we meet again, Ulquiorra."
The rainbow Cero shot forth.
BOOM!
The light column pierced through Ulquiorra's body instantly, scattering all the spiritual particles that composed his soul.
Rainbow light illuminated everything.
In the shadows, Ulquiorra's body became transparent rapidly.
