Tens of thousands of Gillians gathered crimson Cero at the same time.
Violent reishi churned through the air, producing an ear-piercing howl as countless beams prepared to descend upon the palace where Uchiha Tobirama stood.
Facing the endless sea of Hollows, the silver-haired man merely smiled.
"Numbers?"
His calm voice echoed throughout Hueco Mundo.
"No matter how many insects gather together, they remain insects."
He neither drew his sword nor activated any of his eye techniques.
Instead, he slowly brought his hands together.
Clap.
The sound was soft.
The result was anything but.
The entire world trembled.
A violent earthquake tore through Hueco Mundo as enormous cracks spread across the endless white desert.
Then, brilliant emerald light burst from the depths below.
Immense wooden roots erupted from the earth, growing at impossible speed.
"Sage Art..."
Tobirama's voice resounded like thunder.
"Wood Release."
"True Several Thousand Hands!"
The gigantic Thousand-Armed Buddha rose into the heavens.
Its enormous form towered over the landscape, reaching far beyond the clouds.
Countless colossal wooden arms spread behind it like a divine halo.
Apache, Mila Rose, Sung-Sun, Harribel, and Nel could only stare in complete disbelief.
Before this unimaginable creation, even towering Gillians looked insignificant.
"What... is that..."
The charging Hollows instinctively tried to retreat.
Too late.
Tobirama raised one hand.
"Crush them."
Thousands of gigantic fists descended simultaneously.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
The battlefield disappeared beneath an endless rain of overwhelming force.
Every impact shattered countless Hollows.
Fully charged Ceros were extinguished before they could be fired.
Gillians, Adjuchas, and every creature caught beneath the assault were reduced to scattered reishi.
The bombardment continued relentlessly.
Minutes later...
Silence returned.
The endless black tide had vanished.
The ground surrounding the palace had been flattened across an immeasurable distance.
Only the colossal wooden Buddha remained standing.
---
The air itself glittered.
Countless streams of pure reishi floated across Hueco Mundo.
The destruction of the Hollow army had released enormous amounts of spiritual energy.
Tobirama slowly descended from the Buddha.
"Perfect."
As he spread his arms, a system notification echoed within his mind.
[Massive World Origin detected. Activate World Lord Devouring?]
"Activate."
An immense vortex formed before him.
The surrounding reishi poured into the swirling core like rivers flowing toward the sea.
The spiritual foundation of Hueco Mundo itself resonated.
Even the world's hidden Origin began flowing toward Tobirama.
His chakra continued to rise.
The power of the entire realm gradually acknowledged its new master.
Time.
Space.
The very laws governing Hueco Mundo quietly aligned themselves with his will.
When the final traces of energy were absorbed, Tobirama slowly opened his eyes.
The stars seemed reflected within his Rinnegan.
"This world is mine now."
The gigantic Buddha dissolved into countless motes of light.
---
Back inside the newly built palace, Harribel, Nel, Apache, Mila Rose, and Sung-Sun were already waiting.
The palace had become far quieter after the battle.
Nel respectfully presented a freshly brewed cup of tea.
"Master, has everything outside been resolved?"
"The Hollow threat has been eliminated."
Tobirama accepted the tea.
"The core of Hueco Mundo now answers to me as well."
His gaze swept across the magnificent palace.
"It is complete..."
"...but still feels empty."
He tapped the armrest of the throne thoughtfully.
"A ruler's court should not stand vacant."
Closing his eyes, Tobirama expanded his perception across dimensions.
His consciousness reached Soul Society and the World of the Living, locking onto those connected to him.
"Distance has no meaning."
He snapped his fingers.
Golden circles of light appeared throughout the palace hall.
Space itself opened.
One by one, familiar figures emerged from the portals.
Orihime Inoue stumbled out first, still wearing her kitchen apron and holding a spatula.
"Huh? Where am I?"
Yoruichi landed gracefully beside her, instantly surveying the surroundings.
"So this is your doing..."
Rukia stepped through next, followed by Rangiku, Soi Fon, and finally Unohana.
Each looked around with varying degrees of surprise.
Unohana smiled faintly upon seeing Tobirama.
"So you've gathered everyone."
The palace hall, once nearly empty, had become filled with powerful figures from different worlds.
Shinigami.
Humans.
Arrancar.
They had all been brought together.
Tobirama sat upon the throne overlooking the assembled group.
A faint smile crossed his face.
"Good."
"Now everyone is here."
"There is much to discuss."
"The era of Hueco Mundo's reconstruction begins today."
