Chapter 235 ⥤ This House Can’t Function Without Me
Chapter 235 - 235 ⥤ This House Can't Function Without Me"Is this what they call a Hollow?"
Under the crescent moon, a towering, muscular figure seized a wolf-like Hollow with one hand. With a mere squeeze, he crushed it to nothing.
Following the Reiatsu trail in the air, Gerard had encountered various misshapen Hollows along his path.
After testing their strength, he found these Hollows pathetically weak. No need for Spirit Weapons or Spirit Arts (like Kidō) — his bare fists were enough to destroy them.
If all Hollows in Hueco Mundo were this weak, he, Gerard, would achieve unparalleled glory today. He could even claim the position of Grandmaster in the Sternritter!
As he savored this thought, a slim figure emerged from the horizon. Though its steps appeared leisurely, it crossed vast distances in instants.
"Golden medium-length hair, shirtless like the king. Target confirmed." Ulquiorra tapped his earpiece, "I've located the intruder Gerard Valkyrie, requesting permission for Resurrección release."
A calm voice responded through the earpiece, "Granted."
"Understood."
Watching the stranger's peculiar behavior, Gerard frowned. An inexplicable dread crept into his heart — as if death itself loomed over him.
"Enclose..."
⤫ Resurrección: Murciélago ⥤ Returning Blade: Great Black-Winged Demon! ⤬
Ulquiorra wasted no time with battle banter. He had come for one purpose: to fulfill Lord Aizen's command to eliminate any Quincy near Las Noches.
As he spoke the release command, emerald rain cascaded down, blanketing miles of desert. Black wings unfurled beneath the moonlight as Reiatsu storms howled skyward.
The demon-like figure stood silhouetted against the crescent moon, a thunder spear materializing in his palm, its crackling electricity warping the space around it.
The next moment, it tore through the void!
⤫ Lanza del Relámpago ⥤ Lance of Thunder and Lightning! ⤬
BOOM!!!
Endless waves of sand erupted skyward as the explosion's aftermath spread, the massive crater expanding rapidly from the impact.
One strike created a spectacular scene — viewed from above, it resembled a stone cast into a lake, ripples spreading across the desert.
Caught unprepared, Gerard took the hit directly. His muscular frame shot from the rolling dust like a tattered ragdoll, carving deep trenches across the sandy surface as he skipped like a stone on water.
Lying in the deep crater, Gerard smiled despite his severe wounds from the full-power strike.
Converting negative situations into positive ones — this was "The Miracle"! Mere fatal wounds meant nothing!
It was time to unleash the power of The Schrift.
⤫ Schrift: M ⥤ Sacred Letter: The Miracle! ⤬
⤫ Vollständig: Aschtonig ⥤ Complete Holy Form: Authority of God! ⤬
Gerard absorbed the Reishi in the air, his eyes blazing with golden light. He would release The Miracle while activating Vollständig simultaneously — in this ultimate state, he would destroy this Arrancar Hollow mercilessly.
The ambusher would face divine judgment!
But when the light faded, the expected tremendous power never came. Gerard remained in the crater, helpless as a wounded animal.
"Impossible!" His eyes widened as he let out an anguished roar, panic crossing his face for the first time, "My power..."
"My, my, why didn't the miracle occur?" A strange voice echoed across the desert.
Gerard turned toward the voice and saw a figure with striking black and white face paint.
"How curious indeed. Wouldn't you agree, Gerard Valkyrie? Allow me to introduce myself — I am Mayuri Kurotsuchi. I've studied the Soul King's power for many years and know quite a bit about your abilities. Though it pains me to say this, our Captain taught us humility..." Mayuri spread his hands with a villainous laugh.
Before Gerard could react, Mayuri plunged a syringe into him, emptying its contents into his body.
As weakness overcame him, his vision darkened until consciousness slipped away.

"So this is the Soul King's Heart?" Kisuke marveled, "What an extraordinary creation. The Right Hand became Mimihagi, God of the Rukongai and guardian deity of the Eleventh Division. The Left Hand and Heart became Quincy. These larger fragments each gained independent consciousness — truly befitting the god who created the world, wouldn't you say?"
Ulquiorra stood silently, watching Gerard's motionless form in the container.
Though his power alone would have struggled against The Miracle's embodiment, the Second King had taught them to fight with wisdom, not brute force. Such reckless aggression didn't suit Ulquiorra's refined nature.
After detecting Gerard's entry into Hueco Mundo, Aizen's re
Indeed, his decision had been correct. Though he couldn't win in a fight, if he ran with all his might, he could still...
When his gaze returned forward, his pupils contracted and his expression turned ashen. A horrific demon had materialized before him, blocking his path. Terrible pressure swept across dozens of kilometers.
At that moment, Gerard's expression became ghastly.
There was no escape now. It seemed he could only fight to the death. If he could just avoid that one move, there might still be a chance to turn things around.
Gerard gathered Reishi to form a weapon, attempting to strike first. But just as he raised his hand, a black blade pressure, burning with spirit black flames, came hurtling toward him.
In an instant, like a hot knife through butter, the blade pressure sliced through the giant's body, splitting him in two.
Just before death, Gerard finally heard the name of the opponent's technique.
⤫ Getsuga Reien ⥤ Spirit Moon Flame Pierce! ⤬
The massive body crashed down, then shattered into countless rays of light, gathering in the sky above and transforming into an even more terrifying figure.
⤫ Vollständig: Aschtonig ⥤ Complete Holy Form: Authority of God! ⤬
⤫ Second Form ⥤ Godly Scale! ⤬
Abundant power surged through his body like a river, but Gerard felt no joy — rather, his heart sank to the bottom.
The previous Godly Scale had already demonstrated the vast gap between them. This wasn't something even his ultimate Final Form could close.
Perhaps only His Majesty, still in slumber, could stop this demon?
Just as Gerard thought this, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and his eyes widened in sudden realization.
He looked at his opponent in shock and muttered, "So your real target was..."
Akira grinned, "Congratulations on getting it right, here's your reward...!"
A figure no larger than an ant launched a straight punch at the Light Giant towering between heaven and earth.
⤫ Blutstil: Himmelshaku Hakai ⥤ Blood Style: Heaven's Empty Destruction! ⤬
BOOM!!!
Gerard tried to resist, but as his arms met those fist bones wreathed in black flames, they shattered instantly into countless motes of light. His colossal body crumbled beneath the overwhelming power, erupting like a volcano and scattering brilliant light in all directions.
The Light Giant vanished in a flash, and Gerard Valkyrie plunged into total darkness...
