"Farewell! Woman of Hitsugaya Toshiro!!" When she reached within three meters of Momo, Apache suddenly shouted.
Momo stood ready: "Come on, Arrancar!"
Then, before Apache, Mila Rose, and Sung-Sun could reach Momo, their figures suddenly halted, as if hitting something, and they involuntarily stopped in mid-air.
"What?! What's happening!?" Apache exclaimed.
Reishi Rays, like spiderwebs, were entangled around Apache, Mila Rose, and Sung-Sun. They were like insects trapped in a spider's web, unable to move.
"Hmph, don't underestimate me, Arrancars!" Momo looked up at Apache, Mila Rose, and Sung-Sun, her expression solemn. "To become a woman worthy of Shiro-chan, I've been training hard! Although limited by my talent, I only have Lieutenant-level strength, I've been trying to find ways to compensate for my shortcomings."
"Although your strength is indeed greater than mine, you were too careless. To make you take the bait, I used Kido to conceal my Reiatsu, then quietly laid a Kido net around. But even so, if you had been more careful, you might have discovered it. However, you charged in without thinking. And..."
"What surprised me most was that all three of you charged in together. I originally thought this trap could only handle one of you at most..."
At this point, Momo herself was a bit surprised. She had only intended to deal with one, but the enemies had all fallen into the trap together.
"You damn woman..."
Hearing Momo's words, Apache, Mila Rose, and Sung-Sun were filled with shame and anger. In fact, to deal with Momo, only one of them would have been needed. But thinking that she was Toshiro's lover made them very unhappy. So, to vent their anger, they all attacked Momo together.
But Momo didn't say anything more to the three who had flown into a rage out of humiliation. Instead, she gripped her Zanpakuto with her right hand and lightly tapped the Lieutenant's armband on her left arm, which symbolized the 10th Division: "Bloom, Tobiume!"
Swish…
A stream of red flames followed the Reishi Rays on the Lieutenant's armband and burned towards the Kido Net that trapped Apache, Mila Rose, and Sung-Sun.
Boom!!!
After the red flames ignited the Kido net trapping Apache, Mila Rose, and Sung-Sun, the net exploded instantly. The powerful explosive force directly engulfed Apache, Mila Rose, and Sung-Sun.
The blast waves even knocked Momo, Uryu, and Chad off balance.
"So... so amazing..." After regaining his footing, Uryu looked at Momo beside him with some surprise.
In Uryu's impression, Momo, one of the Lieutenants of the 10th Division, always gave a weak and delicate feeling. But this time, she had displayed such powerful strength.
Momo said apologetically: "Sorry, this is my first time using a combination technique, so I lost control a bit and accidentally affected you..."
"No, not at all. I think Lieutenant Hinamori is already very impressive. We tried so hard and couldn't defeat those three Arrancars, but Lieutenant Hinamori came and easily handled them." Chad said.
"Come to think of it... what did Lieutenant Hinamori use just now? That complicated thing didn't seem like a simple Kido?" Uryu asked.
"What I used was a combination of [Fukubi] and [Shakkaho], then covered with Bakudo #26: Kyokko to hide it, and finally extended it into a net and laid it around." Momo explained.
"Combining several types of Kido in your own way... I don't know if anyone else in Soul Society can do this, but just being able to do such a thing is already very impressive..." Uryu exclaimed in admiration.
Momo said shyly: "Not at all. Being able to concentrate in that situation is not easy. I was just lucky enough to succeed..."
"Hey! What are you so pleased about? Acting as if you've won..." A voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Momo.
"What!?" Momo and the others turned around and saw Apache, Mila Rose, and Sung-Sun walking out of the smoke caused by the explosion, completely unharmed.
"Hmph, you woman, we won't give you another chance!" Mila Rose said coldly.
"Ayon!" Apache called.
Whoosh!
Ayon's figure flickered, instantly appearing not far from Momo and the others.
Earlier, although Ayon had been hit by Momo's attack, it was only blown away by the shockwave. It itself had not been harmed.
"Ayon! Kill that woman!!" Apache shouted.
Perhaps having learned from before, Apache, Mila Rose, and Sung-Sun did not rashly approach this time. They only ordered Ayon to attack.
"Roar!"
Hearing the command, Ayon roared, and powerful Reiatsu instantly erupted.
"What? This... this chill... it's almost like facing Shiro-chan..." Momo trembled.
Earlier, when Momo appeared, she had used a long-range attack to directly blow Ayon away, so she didn't really feel its powerful strength.
But now, facing Ayon directly, the powerful pressure made her back feel cold, just like the feeling of Toshiro's ice-cold power.
"Roar!"
Ayon roared and was about to attack Momo.
"..."
Bang!
Just as Momo was about to raise her sword to defend, her Zanpakuto was directly slapped away by Ayon.
Then Ayon formed a claw with its fingers and stabbed directly at Momo's heart. It was so fast that Momo had no time to dodge.
The claw reflected in Momo's pupils grew larger and larger, and the despair in her heart also grew.
'Am I going to die...
If I die...
I'll never see Shiro-chan again...
No!
I don't want this!'
"Save me! Shiro-chan!!!" Momo shouted instinctively.
Bang!
A figure suddenly appeared in front of Momo, then easily punched through Ayon's body, sending it flying.
"Ah, your call... I heard it. So... I've come to save you, Momo." The figure said with his back to Momo.
"Shiro-chan..." Momo instantly recognized this all-too-familiar figure.
"Sorry I'm late, Momo." Toshiro turned around and said apologetically.
"Shiro-chan!!"
Momo shouted, rushed up, hugged Toshiro tightly, and burst into tears.
