The Universal Villain

The Ki Blast was already brimming with energy and the moment it was let loose it flew forward instantly. Meanwhile, the Menos Grande who had just exited the crack in the sky had no time to react. The moment the blast came in contact with its body the energy was released.

The barrier around Ichigo and the others that turned transparent became visible again along with a massive burst of light. The explosion completely engulfed the surrounding area and any surrounding hollows that were left. The shock waves alone cracked the buildings nearby along with all other structures.

'Dam even the grunt hollows Aizen sent were better than the random hollows that I was killing before.'

As Shen watched he was shocked. Back in the forest he strictly made sure not to use his full power to launch the Kamehameha no matter how excited he was mostly due to the reason before him. Even though he was weak at the moment his power stat of 72 was no joke being his second-highest stat.

A full-power Kamehameha would have defiantly done more then leave a ditch in the ground and if it collided with something more solid and exploded it would have attracted a lot more attention then he didn't want right now.

But this was a Ki Blast he simply wanted to test the Menos's durability and maybe test his power while he was at it so he made sure put his full power into the blast and this was the outcome. As for the 'Main Characters' Urahara's barrier was more than enough to block the incoming shock waves but not the impressions they made.

Ichigo or the current Ichigo had never seen real powers before at the most he has seen a few hollows with special abilities but what he was seeing right now was beyond him. The same going for Uryu who was feeling more and more confused with the events unfolding before him.

It didn't take long for the light show to end. The entire area was the Menos was standing was wrecked with all kinds of things still falling from the ground and a large cloud of dust covering the space in front of Shen. As the explosion dissipated so did Urahara's barrier if not for that Ichigo might have been injured and delayed his progress so Shen did have to thank Urahara secretly for protecting his XP.

'Now then I wonder what happened to the Menos.' While that was what Shen was thinking Urahara had something completely different in mind. 'Now this is strange even through that whole event I couldn't sense anything other than this unfounded pressure.' And that was what was worrying him. He couldn't sense anything meaning he couldn't sense the limit of this Mysterious Person's power.

If that attack the Mysterious Person just used was all the power he had then he wouldn't be a problem in the future however if it wasn't and this Mysterious Person could just launch attacks like that in an instant then it would become an issue. But without the ability to sense his spiritual pressure he was in the dark and couldn't act carelessly.

That kind of thought was also with Rukia and she made a mental note to report this to soul society afterward. Suddenly through the smoke, a red gleam could be seen no one had expected it or had the time to react to it as a red beam shot out of the smoke clearing it allowing one to see the Menos Grande or at least what was left of it.

A massive gaping hole was left in the side of its c.h.e.s.t combining with the hole that was already its c.h.e.s.t. If the Menos was a building it would n definitely be unsafe at the moment. However one could see slowly that the wound was bubbling slowly filling itself back in.

But sadly at this moment, Shen couldn't pay attention to that he was more focused on the Cero heading his way. While could dodge using a combination of After Image and his ability to fly dodging want the thing on his mind. 'Damit!' The Cero was heading straight towards him and if he dodged it would land near the area Ichigo and the others were standing.

Maybe if it were some random Civilians or Shinigami he would dodge after all no reason to save them but this was the future XP he's was probably the most XP he will ever get from any character in this dam universe. He knew Urahara was with Ichigo but still could he risk it? Should he trust that Urahara won't let Ichigo accidentally get knocked out or worse fall into a coma then were would the story go?

He would never get the drive to go after Rukia like before he would never get Urahara to open a portal and even if he did there was no guarantee he would be strong enough to do anything. With all of that on the line did he risk it?

'HELL NO!'

With that mindset, he didn't move an inch and stood in front of the incoming Cero. 'And if I'm going to do this I might as well leave an impression.' Through all the noise a sound echoed through the area into everyone's ears. The voice was calm, cold and smooth.

"Ka"

"Me"

"Ha"

"Me"

If one were to compare the size and power of the current Kamehameha in Shen's hands to the one he used in the forest you would have to laugh. Although Shen knew he could kill the Menos with some effort the Cero was something else. It was not too much to say it was the trump card of all hollows. The be all end all of the hollow attacks and the power it had was stupid and it easily transcended the level of power the being using it had it was more like a cheat.

With one final burst of power, it was ready. Shen's eyes narrowed down to what was in front of him.

"HA!" The power being launched almost pushed Shen back. It was completely crimson just like before and in a way looked like a Cero however if one were to compare sizes. Shen smiled.

'By the rules of DBZ I win.'

With that, the moment to the two beams clashed with one another the winner was clear. With barely and struggle the Kamehameha launched by Shen cut through the Cero like butter eventually crashing into the Menos's Mask and instantly Engulfing it. Regeneration was utterly useless in front of pure power.
