Preparing the Operation [Fight Night] [Nagato vs. Zane]

Yet another intruder. At the very least, this one had been allowed in, unlike the last pair of trespassers. The very fact that such a small ship could somehow get someone through the barriers was proof this wasn't a surprise entrance. Having been notified of the incoming ship quite a bit of time before it even came close to the moon, the Cero Espada had, in response, ordered all fleets, canons, and other defensive groups to stand down and allow the ship to get close. The barriers had also been weakened in order to give the ship and person inside a fighting chance. Had he given the word, a massive fleet of both warships and fighters would have intercepted the trespasser before he came even close to entering the moon's vicinity. Instead, he was interested in why a K-World commander had decided to show his face in the Cero Espada's territory. With this command given, he had also decided to go out and meet the commander personally, so he also made sure the area around Zane Fenier would be completely unpopulated.

So with a plan on how to deal with the current situation formulated, Nagato Tengan the Sage of Six Paths Cero Espada stood up from the throne he sat upon within the inner halls of Los Viejo, and opened a Garganta directly in front of himself. After stepping through, a Garganta much closer to Zane opened up, and despite having left the castle of Los Viejo mere moments ago, Nagato stepped out of the dimensional tear. However, he then disappeared without even a sound, no trace of him being left behind to signify he had even been there. It was as though he had simply ceased to exist. In reality, he had used the Arrancar Sonido movement technique in order to cross the still-vast distance between himself and the trespasser, which explains why he reappeared less than a second later a mere ten or so meters in front of Zane. The first thing Zane might notice is the sheer amount of dread Nagato's existence seemed to produce as the entire area they were in suddenly seemed not only much darker, but even more desolate than it had been just a few moments ago.

As always, Nagato's ringed purple eyes glowed brightly in the shadowy darkness. These eyes of his also seemed to radiate darkness somehow, as though staring into them made the rest of existence seem pitch black and....bleak. The glowing of his eyes seemed to light up the the hair that went past his forehead, revealing its bright crimson coloring. However, the eyes also revealed his face that almost seemed skeletal, with only a thin layer of skin separating his bones from the outside world, as well as the rim of the collar of the long black robe he wore that covered nearly every inch of his body. His overall stature was pretty tall, but oddly thin as well despite the largeness of his robe. He was completely unmoving and unflinching, appearing almost to be a statue. However, suddenly a massive burst of spiritual pressure was released from his body on a level so immense the ground itself seemed to rumble beneath Zane and Nagato. The air also felt extremely dense and heavy, proof of which was the sudden collapse of nearby machinery as well as a few crates. Even Zane would find it hard to breathe, as well as feel ready to collapse beneath the incredible spiritual pressure released by this man. It was clear he meant business.

"Zane Fenier....why have you entered the territory of a God? Depending on your answer....I may hold off Judgement."

There wasn't really much surprising about Zane's request of Nagato, not even the fact that the K-World commander seemed to believe he actually stood a chance at defeating the Sage Arrancar. Nagato had long since understood humans were arrogant little creatures that believed themselves to be equal or even above truly powerful beings, like Hollows and Arrancar. As far as the proposition was concerned, Nagato had already deduced there wouldn't be much reason for Zane to be there if there wasn't something he needed of Nagato or the Espada. And considering his method of entering this place, the possibility of him just dropping in or having been sent from K-World as a peacekeeper was out the window. And now with his actual challenge, it was evident that the only way Nagato would be able to rid himself of this pest would be through force, which he was both ready and willing to use. It mattered not to Nagato that this insect was from the Kokuryuteshi, especially considering he wasn't there because of that organization. Being there for personal reasons, Nagato concluded it would be perfectly acceptable for him to eliminate him with extreme prejudice.

"Your first mistake was believing I would ever assist a pathetic insect such as yourself. Your second mistake was believing you could make me. You're twenty thousand years too soon to be challenging me, boy." As he finished what he was saying, Nagato began to raise his right arm up in front of his body, his sleeve hanging downwards and reaching to his wrist, revealing his sickly looking, almost translucent-white hand and his black fingernails, as well as a small ring on his ring finger with a small red gem in it. His fingers hung loose from his hand, the tips still pointing down towards the ground. When his arm was now pointing straight out towards Zane, Nagato began to speak to the human again. "Would you like to know a side effect of this place having been created by me....?" As Nagato was speaking, his hand moved quite suddenly with his palm opening up and facing towards Zane, his fingers pointing out in every direction. ".....It's expendable."

"Shinra.........TENSEI!"

Suddenly, and with the only warning having been two spoken words, an absolutely massive amount of seemingly metaphysical pressure shot out from Nagato's location. This force, that didn't exist as something able to be manipulated or reflected or even phased through, crashed through the entire area. It was like a wave of pure absolute force, tearing away everything in its path. In a massive cone with Nagato at its tip, massive chunks of solid rock was torn right from ground as though some titanic earthquake had split the entire moon asunder. These chunks of rock were easily as large as entire cars at first, but within the span of a second or two, much larger pieces of the ground were being ripped up and pushed away, some even as large as entire buildings. It seemed every single thing in front of Nagato was being launched from him as the massive wave of pressure moved through the area. If one had a bird's eye view, it'd seem as though a half-sphere in front of Nagato was causing the destruction, and it only seemed to grow as it moved further away from the Arrancar. This surge of pressure is actually unable to be countered in the traditional sense, as it can neither be stopped nor phased through. It also takes an absolutely incredible amount of pure force to even slightly slow it down as well, which explains why it so easily carved out a hole the size of a city into the side of Hueco Mundo's moon.

Within mere moments, an absolutely massive chunk of the area was missing, and all that was left was a crater that seemed to extend for many miles, with Nagato on the very edge of it. This massive crater extended downwards for well over a hundred meters, which essentially means Nagato now stood atop a cliff face with nothing but dust and empty space between him and the bottom of the gorge he had just carved out. Much of the ground that had previously been torn asunder was now floating outside of the barrier, which had also been obliterated, surrounding the moon as space debris. Through the dust that was now floating around because of so much ground being ripped apart, Nagato's vision remained unclouded. He could still see perfectly despite all the thick smog of dirt particles in the air, and his Rinnegan eyes were still working as well. If Zane tried anything funny, or attempted a surprise attack, Nagato would be able to see such actions without trouble. "Hmph. Vermin should know their place."
