Careless.
It is indeed careless.
With this kind of power, it's no wonder that even two pure-blooded Quincy couldn't kill him.
Looking at Kanbaru from a distance, Ji Lujie's eyes sharpened with a flicker of vigilance.
"It seems you're not going to let me land even a single strike."
Kanbaru sighed, clearly troubled.
"…"
I swear to the Spirit King, I'm going to kill this brat!
Here we go again, right?
You think the same cheap trick will work twice?!
Ji Lujie instantly activated Sankt Bogen and entered Heiligkeit Form, ready to guard against Kanbaru's treacherous backstab.
"Please don't look at me with that suspicious expression," Kanbaru said, scratching his head like a kid who just got caught cheating. "I'm really sincere this time."
"…"
I believe you—like I believe in hollows holding charity drives!
Suddenly—
"What is that?" Kanbaru asked curiously.
"…"
You think I'm going to fall for that distraction again?
Ji Lujie's face remained stone-cold.
But then—
Kanbaru simply walked past him.
Ignoring him completely.
"Arrancar?"
Kanbaru narrowed his eyes. "Wait… Nilu?"
Behind the boulder.
Curled up in a ball and softly crying was a small girl with a childlike voice, a skull fragment atop her green hair, and a long scar running from her forehead to the side of her nose.
This was unmistakably Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck.
The former Tercera Espada.
A true Vasto Lorde-class Arrancar—a rare female king among the Menos Grande!
"Then… that bad guy over there wants to kill Nilu."
"You know Nilu too? Are you also here to kill Nilu?" the girl sobbed, pointing accusingly at Ji Lujie.
In that moment…
A black line twitched across Ji Lujie's forehead.
This déjà vu again?!
What do you mean I want to kill her?! I haven't even touched her yet!
At that moment, a system entry box appeared in front of Kanbaru:
---
[Ding! Wow, look at this adorable Nilu in front of you. Are you sure you don't want to take her home?]
[Identity: Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck – former Espada No. 3]
[Among all Arrancar—including the Espada—Nelliel is an oddball among oddballs.]
[She is gentle, compassionate, highly intelligent, and possesses a unique sense of honor. She refuses to attack the weak and detests meaningless violence.]
[Loyal to those who earn her trust, she recognizes and follows her chosen "lord."]
[Due to the shattering of her mask fragment, Nelliel's reiatsu destabilized, causing her to regress from Vasto Lorde to Adjuchas-level and assume a child-like form—accompanied by severe memory loss.]
[Unfortunately, she just happened to encounter the biggest pervert of the week: Ji Lujie.]
[Don't fumble the bag—Nelliel doesn't respawn. Good luck, and may you have a blessed pregnancy.]
---
"I see."
"While those two pure-blooded Quincy were en route, they must've stumbled across her by accident."
Kanbaru quickly pieced together the likely sequence of events from the system's exposition.
He glanced down at the sobbing girl before him.
With a righteous gleam in his eyes, he declared,
"Don't worry. I'll help you take down that scumbag."
Absolutely not because he wanted to raise a Nilu.
Absolutely not!
Ji Lujie's expression twisted with confusion.
Can you stop putting words in my mouth?! How am I suddenly the villain again?!
Wait a second!
How did this conversation get hijacked again?!
Just as Ji Lujie's brain tried to untangle the mental knots, Kanbaru suddenly appeared in front of him, faster than sound.
There was no time to dodge!
"Damn it!"
Ji Lujie quickly raised his Heilig Klinge to block.
But the blow landed—and it had the same overwhelming power again!
Slash!
Slash!
Slash again!
There was no room to retaliate at all!
"Damn it—damn it! What the hell are you?!"
Blood sprayed through the air.
Ji Lujie had lost track of how many times he'd been slashed.
But he couldn't stop.
Because the moment he hesitated, Kanbaru would cleave him down again!
"Why not use your Heilig Schrift?"
"Still locked?"
Kanbaru's blade fell with another punishing blow.
Ji Lujie collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.
"You—how do you even know about the Heilig Schrift?!"
"And you even know my ability?"
His shock now outweighed the pain.
Among the modern Quincy, the ancient concept of Heilig Schrift—the holy script abilities—had nearly been lost entirely.
Yet this brat not only knew about them, he knew exactly what Ji Lujie's Schrift was and why he hadn't activated it yet!
It made no sense.
Ji Lujie's Schrift was Prison (P)—a binding ability that imprisoned others.
But it had one flaw: it couldn't affect fellow Quincy.
It was practically a civil war ban—only effective on foreign enemies.
Still, that was beside the point.
How did Kanbaru know that?!
Is there a traitor inside the Wandenreich?
Ji Lujie felt a chill run down his spine.
No—this wasn't the time to think about that!
"What the hell are you really?"
"You're a damn hybrid—no Blut Vene, no pureblood physique—how do you have such monstrous strength?!"
Kanbaru replied calmly, "Because I believed in the existence of light... and so, I became light."
He didn't have Blut Vene?
Sure.
But he had Hōgyoku.
He was well into Hōgyoku Phase 1, evolving steadily toward Phase 2.
His physique had long since surpassed human limits—no, even the limits of most Shinigami or Quincy.
"???"
I'm done playing around.
I'll kill you myself if I have to!
"Fine. You don't want to talk?"
"I'll beat it out of you."
"You'll cry and beg to tell me everything."
Ji Lujie gritted his teeth and raised his reiatsu sharply.
He declared,
"Ausvollständig!"
"Heiligkeit Gottes!"
Holy light erupted around him like a judgment storm.
Circular shockwaves tore across the terrain, and spiritual pressure surged outward for kilometers.
In the next instant—
His power exploded.
His spiritual pressure multiplied several times within seconds—and it was still rising.
This was the peak state of a Quincy: Vollständig.
And with the Heilig Schrift granted by Yhwach, Ji Lujie could push it even further.
To the limit.
Only a select few Sternritter could achieve this form—Holy Form Completion + Schrift Evolution.
A tier above the elite.
But just then—
A lazy voice rang out.
Teasing.
Mocking.
Unbothered.

"Man… I guess this is really when I'm supposed to show up, huh?"
