Reborn with Steve Stand

Chapter 431: Chapter 428: Another one Claiming to be Zero Espada

"F*ck!"

Upon witnessing this scene, Fang Mo couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment.

He had indeed understood the principle behind the opponent's counterattack, which must be the so-called Cero.

Strictly speaking, the Hollow Realm is a gap between the Soul Society and the real world, not a complete plane in itself, hence the space is very unstable.

Originally, the Cero, due to its immense power, would cause local spatial distortions. At this moment, with several Espadas joining forces to launch it, it is normal for the space of the Hollow Realm to be blasted open. Of course, this was their intention, using the chaos of the broken boundaries to absorb Fang Mo's attack.

After all, the power of Fang Mo's attack was terrifyingly formidable, and if it were to hit, it might even endanger the Hueco Mundo.

However, there were also odd aspects to this.

For instance, Fang Mo's attack was clearly even more exaggerated in power.

Yet, for some reason, the attack he fired with the Longbow of the Heavens did not distort space-time, whereas the Cero tore open the space of the Hollow Realm.

"Hey, hey, isn't this unreasonable?"

Seeing this, Fang Mo also started to complain: "Isn't my attack stronger? Why is it that they are the ones tearing open space?"

Thinking this, Fang Mo became somewhat unwilling.

Therefore, he pulled the bowstring again, and this time, dozens of arrows appeared on the Longbow of the Heavens.

"I refuse to believe you can keep blocking this," Fang Mo stubbornly drew on the power of light and said, "Today, I must blast you all to pieces..."

However, before Fang Mo could release, Kurosaki Ichigo and Yasutora Sado quickly grabbed him.

"Mr. Fang Mo, please calm down a bit."

Ichigo Kurosaki urgently said, "Inoue is still over there, you wouldn't want to kill her too, right?"

"It's not that, I'm just standing up for myself."

Fang Mo said, "Why can they tear open space, and I can't... I'm not convinced."

"It's probably a matter of the type of energy."

At this moment, Uryū Ishida hurriedly chimed in with an explanation, pushing up his glasses and saying, "Mr. Fang Mo, although your attack is extremely exaggerated in power, it is not composed of spiritual energy. Here in the Hollow Realm, the concentration of spiritual particles is very high, so only an attack made of high-concentration spiritual particles, like the Cero, can tear open space..."

"Really?"

Fang Mo asked skeptically.

"It's true." Uryū Ishida earnestly nodded, "Actually, in the Hollow Realm, whether one is a Shinigami, Quincy, or Hollow, their strength will increase to a certain extent, and this is due to the concentration of spiritual particles."

"Oh, I see."

After being educated on the matter, Fang Mo reluctantly accepted the explanation: "Well, let's leave it at that for now. We'll head to the Las Noches first."

"Sigh..."

Upon seeing Fang Mo put away his longbow, the others also breathed a sigh of relief.

It was apparent that Kurosaki Ichigo and his group truly cared about Inoue Orihime. The moment it was mentioned they should head to the Las Noches, he immediately started running, with Uryu Ishida and Yasutora Sado quickly following suit.

But Fang Mo would certainly not run.

As the saying goes, "Looking at mountains makes the horse dead"—Las Noches might seem close, but in reality, it is quite a distance away. Running all the way there would be too foolish.

"I'll go ahead first. You guys can take your time."

After greeting the others, Fang Mo directly activated the instant transmission of the Void Ring and in a flash, appeared in front of Las Noches.

It must be said, the structure of Las Noches is indeed quite strange. After Fang Mo took a brief look, he felt that this place was less a palace and more akin to a fortress or a gigantic factory, with many giant stone pillars of unclear significance outside, as well as some semi-circular structures inverted on the ground.

Fang Mo looked around but did not find an entrance.

However, as a Minecraft player, he was indeed a bit lazy to continue searching for a door.

So, he directly took out the atomic flint from within his body and casually swung it towards a wall not far away.

With a snap, a 3x3 large hole appeared on the lead-gray wall, and the wall, originally composed of spirit particles, instantly vanished into nothingness.

Walking through the three-meter square hole, Fang Mo quickly arrived inside a large hall.

Of course, calling it a hall, it felt more like a vestibule or a transfer station, because there were as many as five doors in front of him, all identical, leaving him completely clueless about which one to choose.

"Hmm..."

Fang Mo thought for a moment, then decided to take a look at the mini-map before deciding.

It has to be said that Las Noches is truly disgusting. Fang Mo glanced at the mini-map and found that it was full of various secret passages and mazes.

After looking at the mini-map, Fang Mo didn't bother choosing a path and simply found the nearest creature to him on the mini-map, a chibi cartoon version of an Arrancar, though Fang Mo couldn't recognize who it was. He figured it was best to just grab and ask for directions.

Thinking this.

Fang Mo also turned up the power of the atomic flint.

He swung it at the wall next to him, and with a snap, a deep square hole instantly appeared, and then Fang Mo, while looking at the map, walked in.

After swinging the atomic flint three times.

Fang Mo quickly arrived in another palace.

This area is filled with some strange cylindrical pillars, presumably a part of some ruined site. However, what surprises Fang Mo is... that the ruin has already collapsed.

Yes, it has collapsed. This ruin appears to be a woman, but now only her upper body remains, with her lower half completely vanished. The cut is very clean. Fang Mo had just entered this palace only to see this woman turning into ashes in agony.

"Uh..."

Seeing this scene, Fang Mo couldn't help but be stunned: "No way, can atomic flintstones also kill?"

It's clear that this ruin was killed by atomic flintstones. Fang Mo could roughly guess that she was probably waiting for an enemy to invade her palace, but the atomic flintstone directly disintegrated the building... along with her body, because this thing has no spiritual pressure, so she didn't see it coming at all.

"Damn, that's extreme."

Looking at the small pile of ashes on the ground, Fang Mo started to feel a headache: "If only I had stuck an ender rod on Inoue Orihime, now, we don't even have a guide..."

However, just as he finished speaking.

A Hollow suddenly ran over from not too far away.

It looked a bit silly, like a ball, seemingly coming over to check out the noise. But upon seeing Fang Mo, it got scared and immediately turned around to run.

Seeing this, Fang Mo also chased after it. But he had just stepped out of the palace when he immediately stepped on a trap.

With a click, the ground suddenly vanished.

But Fang Mo could fly, so he simply hovered in mid-air. The Hollow, seeing Fang Mo step into the trap, breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at him.

But seeing that Fang Mo didn't fall in, it was stunned, looking somewhat unsure of what to do.

Fang Mo was not in a hurry, just quietly watching the Hollow in front of him. The ball-like Hollow stayed stunned for a good while, then suddenly seemed to understand, charged over, and jumped into the trap, disappearing from sight.

"So, was it luring me from the start?"

Fang Mo smiled indifferently, and then also jumped into the trap.

However, what was called a trap felt more like a secret tunnel slide. Sliding down the hole in the pit for a while, Fang Mo quickly arrived in a lower-level space.

"Hehehe, you finally came."

Just as Fang Mo arrived in this underground palace, suddenly a voice sounded: "Ryoka Fang Mo."

"Oh, it's you."

Fang Mo looked up at the person in front of him, seeing the signature pink hair and white-framed glasses, he immediately realized: "Szayelaporro Granz, are you really planning to face me alone?"

"Do you think I'm like the other Espadas?"

Szayelaporro didn't care, just smiling and pushing up his glasses: "I know you defeated Grimmjow and turned Coyote Starrk against us, but let me remind you of something, I am the original number zero Espada, and now... I am far more powerful than before."

"Got it, another one boasting about being number zero, huh?"

Fang Mo directly said, "I know you look down on me, perhaps in your eyes, there's only Lord Aizen. But this is my home ground, not just because of the high concentration of spiritual pressure in the Hueco Mundo, but also because this is my laboratory... Do you think your trump card will still be of use here?"

"What? Trump card?"

Fang Mo was also stunned, "You know about my trump card?"

"That white energy is indeed terrifying," Szayelaporro Granz spoke directly, "From the first time you used it to destroy the black cavity, I've been studying it. Of course, I'm more interested in you yourself. You're clearly not a Hollow or a Shinigami, nor a human. You hardly interact with the spiritual pressure around you. I'm so curious about you, it would be great if I could make you into an experimental subject."

"The last one who claimed to be Espada Number Zero was blown up by me, okay?"

Fang Mo didn't bother to argue anymore, simply raising his hand, "Come on, don't be shy, open your mouth."

As Fang Mo raised his hand, he directly unleashed a beam of light. However, the vast stream of light only traveled about a meter before the space directly cracked open, and the light beam instantly disappeared into the spatial crack.

"Hmm?"

Fang Mo was also stunned at this.

"Ha ha ha ha!" Just as Fang Mo was feeling puzzled, Szayelaporro Granz, not far away, also started laughing, "It seems my guess was indeed correct. The space here, after my modification, can no longer withstand the impact of that kind of energy. Your trump card is ineffective now, Fang..."

Before he could finish his last word, Szayelaporro Granz suddenly felt a huge sense of crisis.

Then, a blue and white object whistled towards him.

"Wind Style: Massive Rasenshuriken."

Fang Mo said indifferently, followed by a 'boom', Szayelaporro Granz's body was instantly swallowed by chakra, and then a huge explosion blew open the entire laboratory, turning everything around into dust instantaneously, even creating a giant crater in the white desert.

"Trump card? That's laughable. I don't have a trump card at all."

Fang Mo, looking at the half-visible silhouette in the dust, also directly spoke in mockery, "Or rather, I have trump cards everywhere..."

"Drink, O wicked Queen of Carnal Desire!"

However, only to hear Szayelaporro Granz weakly shout out, followed by an explosion of spiritual pressure, a gust of wind directly blew away the smoke in front.

The opponent had activated a Resurrección, now transformed into a different appearance with a pair of white gloves on his hands and four wings on his back, while also holding two strange black balls in his hand, greedily stuffing them into his mouth.

"I admit I underestimated you..."

After consuming the black orb, Szayelaporro Granz's weakness and injuries were wiped away. He wiped the corner of his mouth with a somewhat sinister smile, saying, "I suffered a great loss because I underestimated you. But believe me, you will soon become like this, no... you will even be worse than me."

After saying this, Szayelaporro Granz's wings behind him suddenly shot out like lightning towards Fang Mo, enveloping him in something that resembled a man-eating flower. However, Fang Mo was indeed too confident to bother dodging, letting himself be wrapped up. The flower bud quickly retracted on its own.

"Ha ha! Got it!"

Seeing this, Szayelaporro Granz was overjoyed. He stretched out his hand, and a drop-shaped tissue sac grew from the wings behind him. The sac quickly burst, and out fell a chibi version of Fang Mo doll.

This was actually one of Szayelaporro Granz's abilities, similar to creating a voodoo doll. Causing damage to the doll would also harm the real body.

However, it's worth mentioning that other people's dolls were round.

But for some reason, when it came to Fang Mo, it turned into a doll with sharp edges.

"Hm? Why is the head square?"

Szayelaporro Granz looked down at the doll in his hand and was stunned for a moment. But given the urgency of the situation, he didn't care too much and split the doll in half: "Well, I'll just crush your stomach to punish you..."

However, upon opening it, Szayelaporro Granz was even more shocked.

The doll, which should have been filled with organs, was empty inside.

"This..." Szayelaporro Granz was momentarily stunned, not expecting this outcome: "How can it be empty?"

"Ha ha ha ha ha, didn't see that coming, did you?"

Fang Mo also laughed and started taunting: "I'm full of clever words, but no guts, dumbfounded, aren't you?"

"This is impossible!"

Szayelaporro Granz became even more frustrated, refusing to believe it and shook the doll hard into his palm a couple of times. To his surprise, he actually shook out two very small organ models.

"Hm?"

Szayelaporro Granz quickly concentrated and looked, then froze: "What is this...?"

"Holy shit!!!"

Fang Mo was shocked and dashed up in a flash: "Don't squeeze it!"
