Hello! Sorry I took a while but here is Chapter 7!

Chapter 7: Realization

Without haste, the Arrancars equipped their zanpakutos and commenced their lookout around Las Noches's perimeters. Only Starrk and Ulquiorra remained behind, however, since a colossal and powerful army would be enough to handle a few targets they would consider insignificant trash. Starrk continued to sleep in his room, while Ulquiorra listened to whatever is going on outside from the entrance of his domain. None were worried.

As the Arrancars approach a large area with multiple columns near the exit of Las Noches, they get a weird vibe as they hear rubble collapsing from the corridors. When they turned to where the source of the noise was, they received a disturbed feeling as they see the large purple pile of flesh slug with effort across the narrow corridors. Due to its immense size, it created a cave-in on some parts on the passageways, causing difficult means of escape for the tiny soldiers. Only the entrance was clear, but it laid a giant tentacle by it, causing no one to enter or exit at the time. The Arrancars begin their assault, but the creature only laughs as they continued to cut through its exterior skin.

"Hahaha! Pathetic little runts. Those puny swords will get you nowhere! Sucks to be you right now!"

Multiple tentacles begin to slither their way through the open areas on its skin and counter every thrust from the Arrancars' weapons. It roared vigorously as it ensnared at least three or four of the Arrancars with ease and shoves them into its gaping maw. They all look in horror as it expanded again, bigger than what it was since it consumed a number of them equal to what the Espada had. A light purple aura began glowing around it, showing a high amount of spiritual power within it. A high amount of spiritual pressure caused the whole army to drop to their knees.

"All of you… you all shall give me power! HAHAHA!"

Meanwhile, Ulquiorra sensed what was occurring at the moment, so he immediately went forth to identify the mysterious being. Starrk was too lazy to get up, however.

"I know that spiritual pressure… I've sensed it earlier when I was outside of this castle…"

With an excellent sense of direction, Ulquiorra dashes into the room and gazes upward to see Glotoneria flipping the last of the soldiers into its mouth. It sensed Ulquiorra's presence from behind and knew that was no ordinary opponent. Before Glotoneria could react, Ulquiorra landed a huge thrust on its drooping back, which caused a giant hole to appear on it. Just when Ulquiorra began another forceful blow, tentacles shot out from the hole, ready to bind the opponent, but he dodges all of them and appeared on one of the columns by Sonido. Though Ulquiorra had no idea that Aaroniero was not present, he was ready to initiate his way of killing him. Glotoneria only smiled.

"Now that's not good… you made a hole on my back. No matter; I can cover it up."

"Aaroniero, what is the meaning of your ridiculous actions? Have you no fear of retaliation and judgment from us?"

Sparks continued to fly as they passed their piercing glances at each other.

"Heh, you can't intimidate me, Espada #4, Ulquiorra Schiffer! I've already devoured the army of Las Noches with no mark on me. I've also seen what some of the Espada could do and it did not impress me. Amusing, yes, but still not impressive. Another thing, your blows were nothing but a passing wind!"

"Is that how strong you think you really are? Very well, Aaroniero, I'll end this immediately."

"Will you, now? All right then, try!"

Ulquiorra jumped swiftly to the top of it, but was shocked to see that Aaroniero was not located there. A giant tentacle came down at him when he was distracted, causing him to fall to the ground. A huge crater was made by that motive, but Ulquiorra got up with no lingering effects on him.

"Aaroniero, where are you hiding? This is not possible that you are at another location on your Resurreccion."

A slight tone of anger came from his vague look, but Glotoneria only laughed at what he said.

"Didn't you realize it when you dashed on top of me? I caused his disappearance! Sucked for him, but proved to be a major asset to my plans. I finally received the chance to become powerful enough to take on any being that dares to challenge me! I caused it; HE was obsolete, since he only proved to get in my way! With that said, prepare to become food!"

Tentacles swarmed around Ulquiorra, attempting to grab him again. Just as they began to attack, swift figures came along and sliced the tentacles into thick pieces. Ulquiorra turned to look and saw Rudobon and the Exequias fighting off Glotoneria.

"Ulquiorra Schiffer, we shall take care of this matter at the moment. You gather some of the remaining forces and have at your chance to retaliate. Go!"

Ulquiorra thought at that moment; even though he could have handled the situation by himself, he wanted to gather the information on what the origin of Glotoneria was. With swift motives, he snatched a piece of a tentacle and made his way to the exit.

"Very well, Rudobon. I leave this matter in your hands."

"Don't disappoint us!"

As Ulquiorra left the room, the Exequias charged with no hesitation, but Glotoneria only looked at each one of them, grinning at his thoughts.
