Since the Sternritter and Aizen joined forces, they also ventured into Hueco Mundo under the leadership of Haschwalth.

Although some members were initially reluctant, over time, after multiple discussions and encounters, most had no choice but to adapt to the new situation.

However, many still disagreed with Haschwalth and Aizen's methods.

Dolisk was one of them.

At first, he frequently approached Haschwalth to voice his objections, but over time, he uncovered a secret—one he considered a major opportunity.

The Menos Forest

The Menos Forest, the area within Hueco Mundo with the highest concentration of Menos Grande, is divided into three sections: the outer layer, the middle layer, and the inner layer.

One day, during a dull and aimless stroll, Dolisk inadvertently arrived at the entrance of the Menos Forest.

At first, he didn't take it too seriously.

However, after fending off several Menos Grande that attempted to attack him, he realized the immense significance of the Menos Forest for his abilities.

As a Sternritter, his Schrift is "O"—"Overkill," granting him the ability to amplify his power by eliminating other beings.

The more creatures he kills, the stronger he becomes.

The power he gains is directly proportional to the strength of his victims.

A Desperate Struggle for Power

Since the war two centuries ago, the Soul Society had conducted a large-scale purge of the Quincy.

The remaining Sternritter were forced to survive within a spiritual domain they had created together.

Their king had mysteriously vanished thousands of years ago, leaving the Soul Society in complete control of the world.

Thus, despite Dolisk's powerful ability, he had no means to utilize it.

Strict Sternritter regulations forbade harming fellow Quincies or ordinary humans.

As a result, Dolisk was left with only one option—to hunt Hollows to increase his strength.

When he discovered the Menos Forest, he knew he had found his chance to become the strongest.

From that moment on, he spent his days tirelessly commuting between Las Noches and the Menos Forest, devoting himself entirely to strengthening his abilities.

No matter how weak or strong the target, Dolisk followed his principle of absolute efficiency—everything in the Menos Forest was prey.

A Fateful Encounter

Just now, he had set his sights on a new target.

What excited Dolisk the most was that he had found the very person the Sternritter had been searching for.

Originally, a trace of fear lingered in his heart, but when he considered how much power he could gain from defeating that individual, he resolved to launch a surprise attack.

However, he had not expected that although his attack successfully killed one of the massive insect-like Hollows, it failed to eliminate the three weaker ones nearby.

What disturbed Dolisk even more was that his last attack had completely vanished upon colliding with an intense burst of Reiatsu.

How could this be possible? He had grown conceited, yet this turn of events left him utterly astonished.

But on second thought, the stronger the opponent, the greater the reward for defeating them.

Thus, Dolisk decided to take the risk and attack again.

While Dolisk was still contemplating his strategy, he suddenly felt an overwhelming Reiatsu suffocating him from a short distance away.

"This power... It's too strong!" Dolisk thought in shock.

The Arrival of Aaron

After shielding Neliel from the fierce attack, Aaron redirected his focus toward the figure that had ambushed them.

Based on the attacker's unique offensive techniques and the reaction of the Quincy Medallion in his system backpack, he quickly concluded that the assailant was a member of the Sternritter.

After briefly reassuring Neliel, Aaron unsheathed his Zanpakutō and vanished in an afterimage, charging toward Dolisk with terrifying speed.

While utilizing Shunpo, he also incorporated Xiangzhuan and the Flying Scythe technique, further enhancing his mobility with "God's Step."

Aaron appeared like a streak of black light, piercing the sound barrier with a deafening roar as he closed the distance in an instant.

Dolisk barely had time to react before a surge of raw power slammed into him.

The Clash

BOOM!

With a violent explosion, Dolisk coughed up blood as he was sent hurtling backward.

Without hesitation, Aaron hurled his Zanpakutō toward Dolisk while simultaneously activating the four distinct forces within his body.

The moment the black Zanpakutō emitted a radiant glow, it transformed into a girl clad in black robes, her long dark hair flowing as she soared toward Dolisk.

Surrounded by a shimmering, four-colored aura, she accelerated rapidly, her breathing heavy as she advanced.

As she moved, the ambient spiritual energy around her converged like rivers flowing into an ocean, fueling her power.

In mere moments, the four-colored glow around her intensified to a dazzling brilliance.

"HAAAH!"

With a determined cry, the girl seemed to become a blade of pure destruction, an unstoppable force barreling toward Dolisk's position.

Neliel's Awakening

Meanwhile, seated on the ground, Neliel wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth, glancing at Pesche and Dondochakka, both unconscious but stable.

However, as she sensed the overwhelming spiritual pressure emanating from the battlefield, her eyes widened in shock.

In all her memories, she had never encountered such an overwhelming force.

At that moment, Neliel suddenly felt the shattered mask on her forehead react to the surge of power, radiating an unfamiliar energy.

She clutched her head in pain, rolling on the ground as a flood of memories resurfaced in her mind like a slideshow playing before her eyes.

Desperation

Dolisk could never have imagined that his opponent's strength would be so overwhelming.

Even the mere presence of Aaron's Zanpakutō filled him with a profound sense of helplessness.

Yet, as he saw the blade transform into a girl, something about its purity struck him as eerily unnatural.

Desperately, Dolisk unleashed every ounce of Reiatsu within him, hoping to resist the incoming attack.

But to his horror, he realized that a fist, enveloped in the four-colored energy, had already locked onto him, freezing him in place as if space itself had been sealed.

"No! What is this power?! I refuse to die like this!"

As Dolisk let out a desperate roar, the silver Quincy Medallion in his hand suddenly emitted a blinding light…
