Ulquiorra, who arrived with him, was also a Vastoad.
The worst part is that both the lazy Stark and the aloof Ulquiorra are... like disciplinary committee members.
The difference lies in the fact that the former only disapproves of internal conflicts, while the latter prioritizes Aizen's interests above all else.
The presence of Numasek and Nelielu had already made Nnoitra very uncomfortable, and now the appearance of two meddlesome Vastodes had made this flamboyant battle maniac extremely frustrated.
Four 44s! A full four 44s of Vastod! Wow, this has practically reduced him to number five in one fell swoop.
"I see."
Even though he was unwilling, Nnoitra could only grit his teeth and endure it when facing the Starks.
"That's good."
We're all partners, turning against each other is not allowed, ooh!
Stark, still half-asleep, yawned as he removed his fingers and sprawled out in a recliner.
This was something that no one found surprising.
Because of Stark's presence, these high-ranking combatants spent most of their time together, while other low-ranking members generally did not approach their circle casually.
Not many of these people were willing to chat with Stark. Numasek was busy, Nnoitra disliked everyone, Ulquiorra was indifferent, and Nellyel, though resigned to her fate, still harbored some resentment.
Only people like Tirudi would sometimes be bothered by Stark for chats, and as one of the few high-ranking henchmen in Numasek who could be commanded with absolute certainty, they didn't have much free time.
So, Stark mostly chose to spend his free time napping.
Las Noches is a powerful force, but there are very few situations where their top-tier combatants need to be deployed, which is why Nnoitra is being difficult.
There are two Vastods in total. The remaining Adjuchas are considered elites. As long as there aren't too many of them, one or two isolated individuals can usually be dealt with by one person, even if it's just one or two of them alone, like Tenbain and Luther Ben and their group of six or seven.
Boom! Suddenly, an astonishing spiritual pressure startled the group.
Stark instantly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing within them: "That's the direction of Las Noches!"
Has a conflict broken out between Ulquiorra and Barragan of Las Noches?
After a moment of surprise, Numaseka realized what was happening.
Today, Ulquiorra went specifically to deal with some of Barragán's capable subordinates.
However, judging from the current situation, it seems that Barragán, who was out, has returned and discovered it.
Yes, the reason they dared to take action near Hueco Mundo is because Barragan is currently not in Hueco Mundo for some reason.
"What! That guy has actually started fighting with the enemy leader!"
Neutra, who was feeling sullen, immediately...
He frowned indignantly.
"According to Lord Aizen's intelligence, there is still a Vasto Lorde in Las Noches. Ulquiorra is probably in danger."
Numasekah ignored Neutra's complaints and said with a somewhat serious expression.
No one else objected.
Barragan's ability to remain the undisputed King of Hueco Mundo for so many years speaks volumes. While some may simply choose not to engage with him, the fact that he can still live with such an arrogant title speaks volumes about his true strength.
Even if, chronologically speaking, the discovery hadn't happened today, Barragán should have received the news by now.
The original plan was for the decisive battle to take place in these few days, but since the conflict between the Vastodes occurred earlier than expected, advancing the decisive battle doesn't have much of an impact.
With that, Numasekha raised his spear and, with a stern expression, commanded, "Form ranks, march!"
A great battle is underway near Hueco Mundo.
"No wonder there have been so many deaths and injuries at Xuye Palace lately; it turns out someone was secretly behind it."
The skull, dressed in opulent clothing, had no discernible expression, but its tone clearly conveyed fury.
"Such a slow reaction, not even paying attention to the situation of your subordinates, and going out at a time like this to create space for us—you are not a qualified leader."
Ulquiorra, who had conjured a cyan spirit sword, blocked the attack with a backhand and said expressionlessly.
"presumptuous!"
"The stench of decay!"
A black, ominous mist seeped out.
Ulquiorra couldn't dodge in time, and immediately... with his left hand.
Only skeletons remained after being devoured.
As the mist clung to his arm and spread upwards, Ulquiorra paused slightly before calmly swinging his sword down.
*Pfft*
He cleanly and decisively severed the left arm at the root.
The next second, whoosh! To Barragan's utter bewilderment, an arm regenerated in less than three seconds.
He really wanted to yell, "Are you out of your mind?"
Damn it, at the level of Vasto Lorde, who would still have the skill of super regeneration?
Some Void beings possess special abilities even at a low level, while others, even after becoming Adjuchas, lack them.
However, at the Vastod level, the latter situation rarely occurs, because special abilities are always more unexpected and powerful than general abilities. Giving up some low-level general abilities can not only increase the evolution speed, but also make it easier to give birth to or strengthen unique exclusive abilities.
Constructing objects with spiritual power—this ability isn't low-level, but at most it's a high-level general skill.
Those who become Vastods can awaken immediately, but most will do so without warning.
Choose to give up.
Those with unique abilities can be further enhanced, while those without unique abilities have a high probability of awakening their own unique abilities.
But what the hell is this thing in front of me?
The creation of spiritual energy was not abandoned, nor was the super-speed regeneration; in fact, the super-speed regeneration was almost full! Just as Barragan was speechless, a burly man wearing a bat hat rode a wolf and charged over.
"I've resolved things on my end, do you need any help with this?"
I updated three chapters of my old book last night, which caused another day of hiatus. After finishing those three chapters, I still need to continue writing the old book. I'll catch up on the missed updates slowly; I currently owe 66 chapters.
Chapter 284 Desperate to Cry, Barragán 2/3
"What!"
The intruders, the "humans"
This startled Barragán.
He turned around and saw that all his men had been killed while he was in a daze.
They couldn't sense even a trace of spiritual pressure; it was obvious they were all wiped out.
Barragan, his anger blazing, barely suppressed the urge to kill the man and asked, "Who are you, kid? Aren't you a Voidling? How did you get into Hueco Mundo, and how did you kill my men?"
"Orc, Rexxar."
Rexxar, wearing a hat identical to Batman's, responded loudly and gruffly, patting the wolf's head with a bold and affectionate gesture. Facing Barragan's intimidating presence, he showed no fear whatsoever: "Your subordinates are of average strength, with decent combat experience, but their fighting skills are too crude."
Those who lack combat experience compared to the natural predators from nature, and have no advantage in either aspect, how could they not become prey for my companions?
"Ow"
The wolf licked Rexxar's large hand, then cooperatively displayed a look of disdain.
That final, matter-of-fact question and the unspoken understanding between master and servant almost made Barragan curse.
To say someone's fighting skills are rough is an understatement. Compared to the Grim Reaper, they are indeed rough, but as one of his elite subordinates, how bad could Adjuchas's fighting skills be? He couldn't possibly be worse than a wolf.
And since creatures like the Void live in constant battles, how could they be inferior to even animals?
You're playing me.
"No, I'm just telling the truth."
Rexxar grinned, his expression straightforward.
In fact, he wasn't lying.
When a Void encounters an animal, it will definitely be the Void that hunts and kills the animal, but that doesn't mean the animal's hunting sense of smell is inferior to the Void's.
This is because the basic conditions of ordinary animals are far inferior to those of predators; under the same conditions, the predator's hunting sense of smell will always be superior.
Humans can rely on superior combat skills to make up for and overcome this gap, but unfortunately, illusory combat skills cannot achieve the level of challenging opponents of higher levels.
Not to mention that Rexxar's partners all possess intelligence that is no less than that of humans.
Moreover, the Rexxar of today is no longer the Rexxar summoned by Aizen.
Rexxar's Strength: Talent: + Abilities: High-level Battle Axe, Misha the War Bear +, Harassa the Dire Wolf, Huffer the Porcupine, Spire the Falcon, Leok the Wyvern, Roar of Fury, Wild Roar, Thunder Bluff Reinforcements + Among those known to be able to detect information, Rexxar has the highest talent.
This surprised Aizen greatly.
However, considering the level system in World of Warcraft, this doesn't seem too strange.
World of Warcraft is already a game of interdimensional warfare, and in terms of levels, it's in no way inferior to Marvel's multiverse. The truly powerful figures are far beyond what those pseudo-gods in Marvel can compare to.
Illidan lives for hundreds of millions of years and still has the nerve to be Tyrande's backup plan, while Odin, the father of Marvel, is about to die in a million years.
Of course, if we're talking about winners in life, Odin, the spouse, is probably the one.
While Odin is among the top-tier fighters in the Marvel universe, he's not the absolute ceiling of World of Warcraft; at best, he's a first-rate powerhouse.
Rexxar, while not the most outstanding or powerful hero in Warcraft, was still one of the Horde's leaders, and at his peak, he was at least a second-tier hero in Warcraft.
The second tier of the Beast world is already terrifying, after all, the simple worldview of Death God is far inferior to that of Warcraft. Rexxar is also a royal of a hybrid race of orcs and ogres, so his amazing talent is understandable.
Compared to his innate advantages, his talent is not particularly outstanding.
Or rather, taming beasts... cough cough, obviously this kind of thing is not recognized by the system.
However, the so-called lack of excellence is only relative to his own talent; in reality, he is already a genius worthy of the envy of countless people.
It is precisely because of this talent that Rexxar grows at a very fast pace.
Especially after the Dire Wolf Harassa was revived by the system, the knot that had been hindering Rexxar's growth was instantly untied, and he ascended to the highest level in a short period of time.
Furthermore, since his pet companions are considered part of his abilities, they are, in a sense, empowered by a contractual relationship with the system, meaning that Rexxar's growth will also drive the growth of his pets.
Therefore, the strength of his companions also increased, and the Dire Wolf and Porcupine, who were still at level 1, were comparable to Gui Yancheng, although they were probably no match for Gui Yancheng in a one-on-one fight.
However, this is just an extra bonus.
These animals will accompany Rexxar, the Beastmaster, in his future conquests. They are all exceptionally gifted battle pets. Perhaps only the Dire Wolves and Porcupines, with their more ordinary origins, have relatively lower racial restrictions.
Aizen decisively sent this warrior to Hueco Mundo to hone his skills.
Numasekah, having discerned Aizen's intentions, has been deliberately grooming Rexxar, assigning him many tasks recently, which is partly why Rexxar's strength has increased rapidly.
That said, the conflict between the two sides stemmed from Rexxar's arrogance.
It erupted completely.
"Bastard! You're going to die today!"
"Haha, then take off your crown first."
With a whoosh, Barragán vanished from his spot.
Rexxar's pupils contracted; for a moment, he couldn't even discern his opponent's speed.
Although he lacked the means to move at high speed, he had been able to discern the speed of the Adjuchas before, but this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
"Let it be corroded by aging."
A faint voice sounded in his ear, making Rexxar's hair stand on end.
"Ow!"
With its keen sense of smell, Harasa, carrying Rexsa, frantically sprinted to the side.
"Too late."
Whoosh! Snap! A white shadow flashed by, and a fair hand slapped Barragan away.
Watching his left arm begin to turn into bones once more, Ulquiorra calmly severed it, his face expressionless, and said indifferently, "I think it's just right."
Barragán, who had regained his footing in the air:
My mentality is shattered!! How did this freak even appear?! "This guy is very powerful; you're not suited to fight him right now."
