Konoha: The Revival of the Senju Begins with Taking a Concubine

After Thousand Hands Starry Night finished speaking, Barragan was displeased, but he didn't have any practical solutions.

After all, he was no match for Senju Seiya, so even if he had objections, he would probably have to endure them.

However, Senju Seiya's gaze fell upon Aizen:

"Captain Aizen, I remember you should have someone here named Ulquiorra...?"

Upon hearing Senju Seiya's question, Aizen immediately smiled and replied, "That's right, Ulquiorra... [The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the question.]

Senju Seiya was not surprised by Aizen's answer.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Ulquiorra...

However, without Ulquiorra...

"Byrgang, as the King of Hueco Mundo, you should know something about the Resurrection Zolda of the Arrancar, right?"

"As one of the few Vasto Lordes left in Hueco Mundo, have you forgotten that you still possess some undiscovered powers?"

Upon hearing Senju Seiya's words, Barragan fell into deep thought: "The forgotten power?"

Seeing that Barragan still didn't get it, Senju Seiya asked directly, "Your Espada numbers are based on your spiritual pressure after releasing your Zanpakuto, but Ulquiorra says that, as far as I know, his spiritual pressure after fully releasing his Zanpakuto is even greater than Stark's."

Senju Seiya's words stunned everyone present: "To surpass Stark in spiritual pressure? How is that possible!"

It's said that Ulquiorra's spiritual pressure is even stronger than Stark's. Tia, who hadn't spoken for a long time,...

"You should know that Stark is the only Vasto Lorde among the Espada who has independently detonated his mask, and his spiritual pressure is definitely the strongest among the Espada!"

When Barragán heard Halibel's remarks, his expression clearly showed disdain:

Is it very difficult to break through the enemy's defenses?

"I simply disdain the Arrancar and do not wish to have my pure power tainted by the abilities of the Shinigami!"

Barragan, now a skeleton, stared at Tiahelibel with eyes full of hatred.

You should know that the reason he is one-eyed is entirely due to the presence of Tiahribel.

He had kindly recruited him back then, but he never expected that this ungrateful Halibel would actually stab him in the eye.

Barragán hadn't yet avenged the eye injury, so naturally he was in a bad mood.

"As a Vasto Lorde, I still need to borrow the power of the Shinigami. As the Emperor of Hueco Mundo, I disdain such behavior."

After Barragan finished speaking, Stark smiled calmly: "But aren't you already an Arrancar? You should know that the Arrancar are created by gaining a portion of the Shinigami's abilities. Since you look down on the Shinigami's abilities, why did you accept the Arrancar?

Stark's words startled Barragan.

Isn't that a rhetorical question?

If he hadn't been mercilessly beaten by Aizen, Barragan wouldn't have cared much about the power of the Arrancar.

As everyone argued heatedly, Senju Seiya suddenly said in a low voice, "Everyone, stop arguing. I'm not interested in these things."

As they spoke, Senju Seiya looked at Barragan: "So, after all we've said, do you actually know anything about the secret of Resurrección?"

Upon hearing this, Barragán closed his one eye, and countless fragments of the past flashed through his mind.

From the moment it first became a Hollow, it has devoured its way to become a Great Hollow, and countless years have passed since then.

. .. ...

From the Kylian to the Adjuchas, and finally to the Vastod, each stage is a chapter in history.

Recalling the past, Barragán exuded a peculiar quality.

The so-called "Resurrection" is actually the return of a Hollow's abilities.

Rather than calling it "Return to the Blade," it would be more accurate to call it "Sword Liberation."

The release of a Hollow's sword and the release of a Shinigami's Zanpakuto have similarities, but they are fundamentally different.

As for the act of breaking through the mask, the reason why it can be elevated to a terrifying ability is not just due to the change in appearance.

The biggest benefit of becoming an Arrancar is that one's power will no longer degenerate, which is indeed a form of enhancement for those below Adjuchas level.

However, for Vasto Lorde, who is already close to humanoid and whose abilities will not degenerate, this is a different story.

This ability is useless.

However, it is precisely because of the evolution to the final Vastod that the upper limit of further evolution has been unlocked.

In other words, the Arrancar was originally a type of ability that only Vasto Lorde-level users could master.

Chapter 301: The King's Second Release

"Yes, I am Vastod!"

"I am the first Vasto Lorde in Hueco Mundo!"

"I am the emperor of Hueco Mundo!"

How can I be content with the status quo?

"I!"

“Bailergang???????

"I am the King of Hueco Mundo!!!"

"Rot away!"

"Skeleton Emperor!"

With the incantation of Resurrection, the white bone crown turned golden again, and the flesh on the body was burned away by black flames. A golden chain symbolizing death hung down from the crown.

With a burst of fire from hell, the Axe of Annihilation reappeared in Barragan's hands.

However, unlike before, this time the Axe of Annihilation is imbued with flames from hell.

However, unlike before, the purple battle axe had turned blood red.

The originally white skull has now begun to glow red.

"Those who defy the king will ultimately return to dust!"

"Regret, God's sigh!"

Accompanied by a dazzling red light, the jet-black flames on Barragan's body instantly turned crimson.

A gate to hell slowly rose from the sky, and a soul-stirring light from the underworld descended from the heavens, landing directly on the location of Barragán.

Under the light of the underworld, Barragán's figure suddenly rose up, and his multiple golden crowns instantly swelled.

His entire body radiated a fiery, blood-red glow.

He looked incredibly intimidating.

Everyone present was astonished by the changes in Bailergang.

"What's happening here?"

"There's actually a second stage of Resurrección beyond the Resurrección?"

"How come I've never heard of this before?"

"how did you do that?"

"Did the Great Emperor inherently possess this ability?"

At this moment, Halibel was also unsettled: "Does this ability really exist?"

Stark has clearly reached the threshold of his second Resurrection, and once his abilities reach a certain level, he will naturally glimpse even higher levels of power.

"These two release techniques are different from ordinary release techniques."

"Ordinary Resurrection is just the ability to live a new life as a Hollow, while Second Resurrection is more like an evolution."

Aizen also expressed his agreement with this.

Having undergone the Hogyoku modification, it naturally knows about evolution.

Kurosaki Ichigo's Mugetsu was also a dimensional evolution, as was Aizen's Hogyoku evolution.

Although the paths of evolution are different, they are all moving towards higher dimensions.

Hearing that Stark could also access knowledge about evolution, Aizen couldn't help but look at him with new respect.

“Stark is right. Once your abilities reach a certain level, the conditions for evolution will naturally be triggered.”

"As long as the level requirement is met, one can successfully evolve into a higher level of existence."

"Ordinary Hollows can evolve into Gillian, and Gillian can evolve into Adjuchas, and eventually even evolve into Vastodes, but that's not the end."

"Second stage Resurrección should be a unique evolutionary path for Arrancar."

"Isn't death a form of evolution for ordinary people?"

"It's just a different form."

After hearing Aizen's explanation, everyone finally had a proper understanding of the Second Stage Resurrection.

At this moment, Senju Seiya casually asked, "Captain Aizen, actually, Barragan isn't the only Hollow capable of Resurrección in the second stage."

Before he could finish speaking, Aizen interrupted him, his tone questioning and certain: "Ulquiorra?"
