A large pillar of red reiatsu filled the area. Any hollow that was nearby and thinking of being the oriole attacking the mantis (third-partying/ kill stealing in gamer terms), immediately gave up the idea of doing so when they felt the pressure that was being given off.

Even the 'King' of Hueco Mundo did not dare approach that pillar and simply told some of his hollows that they were to scout the location at a later date to try and discover who had angered the being giving off such a terrifying feeling in case they lived.

In the center of the reiatsu was Ren who had turned back into his normal, shinigami form when he activated bankai. When the reiatsu finally calmed down and dispersed, Ren stood in the middle bare-chested with a set of black pants on his lower body.

Besides the pants, the only other change to Ren was a glowing red symbol on his chest. (Image of the symbol will be added to paragraph comments.)

"Most shinigamis' Bankai is a major change. Some will summon giant monsters, some will have mastery over an element that no one would ever expect, others create millions of blades that appear as cherry blossoms. But I can tell you now, none of those are as scary and dangerous as my bankai."

The gloves from his shikai remained. The palm of the right and left hand began to flow as well as the back of the left hand. The air around Ren started to get even more dangerous. As if Ren was giving off pure and raw killing intent directed at the world itself.

"My bankai allows me to do 5 things in particular. But you do not need to worry about 4 of them. Because the first ability alone makes it just as dangerous as any other shinigami's bankai."

Ren instantly transformed with the Gift Of Flesh. He also had his 4 weapons from the Gift of Arms float behind him. Lastly, Ren had a spiked collar around his neck from the Gift of Will.

"It allows me to use my shikai without limit!"

Ren disappeared with a flash. When he appeared again, he had cut off the heads of 2 Adjuchas with Bloodhunger while Slaupnir had the head of another Adjuchas on the tip of it.

"I understand why the heroes and villains explain their abilities now. It is so that the remaining enemies know why they will die and why they should have never messed with the person."

The Vasto Lorde roared and tried to grab Ren but before he could, Ren had flash stepped away again. This time, he only killed one of the Adjuchas since they had all tried to scatter after Ren's last attack.

"You see. My Gift of Arms reflects a typical shikai except I have 4 of them."

Ren moved once again and had stabbed into a hollow's hole. The spear was too large to just go through the hole so it also carved through the Adjucha's chest. Ren slashed upward and cut through the creature's chest and head.

"My Gift of Flesh makes me more like a hollow. My physical abilities are raised to a high degree and I can also heal from most injuries in seconds."

A boulder was thrown towards Ren but he had once again dodged it. And killed another Adjuchas. In seconds, 6 out of the 10 Adjuchas had been killed.

"My Gift of Will is different though. I guess you can say it makes me more like a shinigami. It increases senses and martial abilities. It is more mental than physical. It also makes me immune to mental attacks such as illusions."

Ren flash stepped twice more and killed off two more of the Adjuchas.

"Normally, each of these is dangerous on their own. But imagine if I can use two or three or even all 4 of them at once. How dangerous is a being that can use 4 completely different shikai at once that each compliment each other? That is my bankai. That is why you shall die."

Bloodhunger let out a roar that stunned the remaining pair of Adjuchas who had tried to run away. The Vasto Lorde jumped in front of the pair to block the incoming attack but he was too slow. Ren was much too fast with his Gift of Will that he could even compete with Yoruichi in the future for her title of Flash Step Goddess.

Both Adjuchas were stabbed in their heads from behind by Ren. Ren turned to look the Vasto Lorde in the eyes for the first time since he had first arrived. And the hollow could see in Ren's plain white eyes. Ren did not think he was killing them.

Ren did not think of himself as doing anything other than swinging his weapons through empty air. In Ren's eyes, he did not even view the Vasto Lorde or his fraccion as prey.

Ren flash stepped in front of the Vasto Lorde and had his white greatsword in his hand. The hollow was barely able to block and parry the attack with his staff.

"Good. If I was able to kill a Vasta Lorde that easily, I would have gotten arrogant."

The Vasto Lorde let out a primal roar before charging at Ren. Ren met its charge with one of his own as the pair exchanged over 10 moves in an instant. Ren seemed to take the advantage after 50 moves were exchanged. Then it seemed like he was completely dominating after 100 moves.

'Good. Get arrogant. Get confident! I will kill you!'

The hollow charged a hollow and tried to fire it but saw that Ren was smiling when he saw the orb or red energy. Then he saw Ren's eyes and mouth fill with white. The last thing the Vasto Lorde heard was 'Flame Breath'
