Infinite Chimera Creation

Where the old monk had been sitting, a handsome young man with refined features and an air of wisdom sat quietly.

PS2, yesterday in the writers' group, a bunch of veteran writers were discussing the issue of unpaid extra chapters. As a newbie, I timidly said, "I've never done an extra chapter." Those veterans who brought this upon themselves by promising extra chapters based on donations or monthly votes all exploded, criticizing me and giving me a lecture, trying to force me to write extra chapters. Haha, so sweet! Veterans, how could I possibly write extra chapters? And my lovely readers certainly wouldn't let someone with terrible writing skills, who takes three hours to type two thousand words, write extra chapters, right?

PS3, please give me a tip, please vote, please recommend!

Chapter Thirty-Nine: Kali Ma

"My lord, are all of these your subordinates?"

Rize Kamishiro stared in shock at the endless Hollows, hardly believing her eyes. Among these bizarre Hollows, she had only briefly explored them and discovered over a hundred powerful auras. The owners of these auras could undoubtedly crush her easily.

After gathering most of her clansmen, Kamishiro still had some doubts. Given how powerful the ghouls were, why did her master allow them to betray her without hesitation? Now, she knew the answer.

Because, among the Lord's subordinates, ghouls are really not that powerful.

Yuan Yuan glanced indifferently at the Hollows, a disdainful smirk playing on his lips, and didn't answer Shindai's question. Building a faction in Hueco Mundo is incredibly simple. As long as you're powerful enough, defeating and subduing a few equally powerful Hollows is enough. This is because Hollows always submit to the strong, and every powerful Hollow is always accompanied by a number of smaller Hollows.

This massive swarm of Hollows was collected by West and his group in this way. Among these Hollows, there were indeed some powerful Hollows, but looking at the cruel and treacherous light flashing in their eyes, Yuan Yuan knew that given the chance, these guys would definitely not hesitate to devour their current master.

Yuan Yuan disdained to bring such a force, devoid of any loyalty, under his control.

"Karim, go and fetch Nelieel. I need to speak with him."

After Karim left on Yuan Yuan's orders, the lack of loyalty among the Hollows became even more pronounced. These greedy individuals, disregarding the fact that Ikkyu was brought back by their master Karim, were all captivated by the pure captain-level spiritual pressure emanating from Ikkyu, and began to stir with restless desires.

It's clear that if it weren't for their fear of Yuan Yuan's powerful aura, these loyal dogs would have already pounced on him and torn Ikkyu to pieces.

With a cold laugh, Yuan Yuan mercilessly crushed his spiritual pressure onto the Void Clan, causing the powerful to collapse to the ground and the weak to faint or even die.

"Therefore, subordinates who are not loyal enough are just annoying to look at."

Although Yuan Yuan's exclamation was directed at the Hollows, the ghouls standing behind him trembled inwardly and became even more submissive. While their bloodline instincts led them to obey Yuan Yuan the moment they saw him, their long-term residence in the human world, surrounded by weak humans like ants, had inevitably made them arrogant. This arrogance, even after witnessing the power of the Hollows, could not be changed overnight.

At this moment, the spiritual pressure that Yuan Yuan displayed, as if it were the sky pressing down on them, finally made the ghouls adjust their mindset and recognize their identity as subordinates.

Not long after, Karim's massive figure rushed back through the rolling dust, accompanied by a sizable antelope.

Without even glancing at the Hollows sprawled on the ground, Karim ran over them without stopping. His sharp, blade-like claws easily pierced the bodies and heads of the Hollows beneath him, splattering blood of various colors. The Antelope Hollow, however, was not as brutal as Karim. With a few nimble leaps, she easily dodged the Hollows on the ground, arriving before Yuan Yuan and uttering a clear, tranquil, and captivating voice.

“Nelielu du Odeschvank greets His Majesty.”

Yuan Yuan nodded to the Hollow who called himself a knight and had offered him a token of loyalty, then turned to introduce Ikkyu, who had been quietly reciting Buddhist scriptures since arriving in Hueco Mundo.

"This is Neliel, my knight. After becoming a Hollow, the emotion she lost was mercy. Before regaining this emotion, she once stirred up a bloodbath in Hueco Mundo. Of course, that was then. Now that she has regained her mercy, she is undoubtedly a saintly figure. Although I don't like this kind of personality, it is clearly suitable for you who aspire to become a Buddha."

Despite being told by her lord that she disliked his personality, Nelliel remained calmly standing behind Yuan Yuan, showing no sign of displeasure. Yuan Yuan, however, paid no attention to her reaction and continued explaining his plans to Ikkyu.

"Once her spiritual power transforms you into a phantom, you will lose your compassion. If you can regain it, your mental cultivation will definitely improve greatly. I wonder if Master Ikkyu has any objections to my arrangement?"

Ikkyu opened his eyes, bowed deeply to Yuan Yuan and Nelliel, and spoke in a leisurely voice.

“Thank you for your trouble, Benefactor Yuan Yuan. This kind of experience is indeed suitable for me, and I have no objections. In that case, I will trouble this female benefactor.”

Despite receiving Ikkyu's greeting, Nelliel showed no sign of making a move, remaining calmly standing there until Yuan Yuan nodded slightly to her before stepping forward and walking up to Ikkyu.

A gentle smile appeared on Ikkyu's now youthful face. His handsome features, combined with his charming smile, were enough to make women scream, hug him, and praise his good looks.

But Neliel seemed oblivious to the captivating smile, her voice remaining as calm and clear as ever.

"Get ready, I'm about to begin."

Before Ikkyu could say "Ready," Nelliel took another step forward and plunged the sharp horn on her head into his chest.

Ikkyu opened his eyes wide in astonishment. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly spat out a large amount of white liquid from his mouth. In just a few seconds, the gushing liquid completely covered his body.

Silently retreating behind Yuan Yuan, Nelliel gazed at the large white cocoon of bone armor, her eyes filled with complex emotions. Having experienced it firsthand, she knew all too well how terrifying it was to lose mercy. If she could, she hoped that after her, no Hollow would ever again lose mercy. However,

The lord's orders must not be disobeyed.

Soon, the bone cocoon exploded, and amidst the dust rising from the explosion, a humanoid phantom, its entire body covered in smooth white armor and its face obscured, slowly emerged.

With a slight smile, Yuan Yuan pointed to the Void beings who were slumped on the ground and had not yet gotten up, and spoke in a gentle voice.

"It was precisely for this moment that I had Karim summon these eyesores. Please enjoy this small gift, Master."

The void froze, standing motionless, staring blankly at the voids on the ground, at a loss for what to do.

"Master, are you perhaps hesitant because of killing and drinking blood? Why be so? In Buddhist legend, the demon Laktavira roams the earth, wreaking havoc on humanity. Because every drop of his blood can generate a new Laktavira, he can never be killed; instead, he multiplies with each wound and bleed. The earth mother Kali Maran, with boundless wrath, descended upon the earth and waged a great war against Laktavira. To prevent Laktavira's resurrection, Kali would pierce the belly of every Laktavira she killed and drink his blood."

If the Earth Mother Goddess could drink the blood of demons to save mortals, what's wrong with you devouring the flesh and blood of evil spirits for the birth of a new Buddha?

With a sigh as eerie as a valley wind, Ikkyu no longer hesitated, grabbed a Hollow from beside his feet, and bit down hard.

Chapter Forty: Buddha's Blood

Because his spiritual power was equivalent to that of a captain, or Adjuchas, after going through the Hollow stage where he had to devour his own kind to evolve into a Gillian, Ikkyu easily evolved from a Gillian into an Adjuchas after a few days of adapting to his body, relying on his own spiritual power.

When a Gillian evolves into an Adjuchas, their body undergoes a transformation, changing its form to be the most suitable for their own combat based on their combat experience and habits when they were still Hollows.

Ikkyu's Hollow form never experienced combat; the Hollows he devoured were all casually grabbed from the ground. Naturally, his experience and habits remained at the human level, which resulted in his Adjuchas form being a rare human form.

However, it seems that because Ikkyu was used to using his spiritual power to sense things from all directions when he was alive, his Adjuchas form had five heads on his neck, four facing the four directions and one facing the sky.

By sheer accident, Ikkyu's illusory form actually took the shape of a Buddha.

After his successful transformation, Ikkyu naturally wanted to walk the earth of Hueco Mundo like an ascetic, to comprehend the philosophy of "Buddha." However, he had made a promise with Yuugen that he would provide Yuugen with golden spiritual energy every so often. This conflicted his wishes with the promise, putting Ikkyu in a dilemma. Because "a monk does not lie," he could not break the promise, nor did he dare to.

On his first day in Hueco Mundo, Ikkyu witnessed just how powerless Adjuchas was in front of Yuan Yuan.

Fortunately, Yuan Yuan had a way to solve this problem, but perhaps due to a mischievous streak, his method once again overlapped with Buddhist legends.

Yuan Yuan took a piece of flesh from Ikkyu's arm, mixed it with a potion developed in the Harry Potter world, and fed it to a hawk-shaped Void. This allowed the hawk to pinpoint Ikkyu's location at any time and find him accurately. Every so often, Ikkyu would inject golden spiritual energy into a container on the hawk's leg, and the hawk would fly back to Yuan Yuan's laboratory, whereupon it would use a special positioning method to find Ikkyu again.

[Buddha cuts his flesh to feed an eagle] [A golden-winged roc stands on Buddha's shoulder] Yuan Yuan forcefully attributed two legends belonging to Buddha to Ikkyu.

With no worries about the future, Ikkyu naturally embarked on his arduous cultivation path with peace of mind, while Yuan Yuan, with the help of the ghouls, began to study the golden spiritual power and the wisp of black energy that he had specially preserved.

After entering the laboratory, the ghouls finally had their emptiness, caused by Yuan Yuan's unfulfilled research desires, satisfied. They all seemed to have found the meaning of life and burst forth with powerful research enthusiasm, perfectly matching the image of a researcher that Yuan Yuan had envisioned.

The more Yuan Yuan studied them, the more he felt that the two things were similar. Apart from differences in color, the emotions they contained, and the strength of their influence on matter, they were practically the same thing.

However, as a human, Ikkyu could not possibly have been to Hell. Hell is filled not only with black mist but also with miasma. The highly poisonous miasma could kill Ikkyu within seconds. Apart from being able to use spiritual power in a rudimentary way, he was not much different from an ordinary person.

In the first few days, Yuan Yuan's research progressed very smoothly, because the biggest characteristic of these two things is that they affect other things. As long as Yuan Yuan strengthens his perception, he can easily sense their surface characteristics.

However, Yuan Yuan could not sense anything deeper.

Fortunately, the golden spiritual energy was continuously supplied by Yixiu, so Yuan Yuan could use it for experiments with peace of mind, without worrying that it would run out like that black energy.

With the assistance of a satisfactory researcher like the ghoul, Yuan Yuan's research into golden spiritual energy accelerated significantly. Although he hadn't yet figured out its essence, he had developed numerous uses for it.

For example, by purifying the blood of humans, Hollows, Shinigami, and Quincy, mixing them in a 1:3:7:5 ratio, and then adding golden spiritual power, a type of golden blood named by Yuan Yuan as "Buddha's Blood" can be created.

Injecting the Buddha's Blood into the Hollow's body turns his mask golden, greatly increases the hardness of his steel skin, and suppresses his intense desires, making him much more rational. However, the Buddha's Blood also has its drawbacks. Hollows injected with it will fanatically worship Ikkyu, to the point of fanaticism, making them completely uncontrollable by Yuan Yuan.

While research into golden spiritual energy has made considerable progress, research into black energy has completely stalled. The reason for this gap isn't just the difference in quantity, but more importantly, black energy is far more…mature than golden spiritual energy.

Yes, mature. Yuan Yuan couldn't think of any other word to describe it. The golden spiritual energy was like a newly sprouted seed, delicate and fragile, making it relatively easy to study. But the black energy was like a giant tree that had grown for thousands of years. Every branch and every leaf was fully mature, hard and dense. It was impossible to study it; one could only observe it like a tree with one's eyes, studying what one could know simply by opening one's senses.

Standing on the highest experimental platform, looking down at the ghouls below who were busy with various researches using their kagune to assist their hands, he sighed softly, turned around and walked out of the laboratory.

At the entrance to the laboratory, ten men dressed in black robes with snake scale patterns, swords at their waists, and masks with twisted smiling faces stood guard meticulously.

"Father."

Upon seeing Yuan Yuan emerge, all ten men bowed deeply, their voices and manners displaying utmost respect.

Nodding, Yuan Yuan gave the instructions in a soft voice.

"Call West here, I need to speak with him."

"Yes, Father,"

Although clad in a black robe and wearing a strange mask, it was still clear that the person who responded was a man of modest build. He closed his eyes, raised his right hand, pressed it to the center of his forehead, and softly chanted an incantation before suddenly opening his eyes and uttering the name of a technique originally belonging to the Grim Reaper.

"The Seventy-Seventh Way of Binding: Heavenly Void Net".

The spiritual energy spread outwards like a vast net, sweeping past various sources of spiritual energy, finally connecting with a strange source that simultaneously possessed the characteristics of violence, coldness, and indifference.

"West, your father is looking for you. Go to the Third Research Institute immediately."

"This voice, you are a demon. The cowardly child who originally possessed you was named Kabashima Reimaru. Because of his fear of everything, even if he possessed you, he was destined not to use you. You could only remain in his spiritual world, alone, hopeless, forever waiting for his impossible call."

Nodding in delight, Wangliang gazed at Yuan Yuan with deep gratitude.

"Although my former wielder was that cowardly good-for-nothing, now, I, and all the wielders of all weapon types, belong to only one person: Father. So, please use us! Our existence is solely for fighting for you!"

Looking at the dust cloud rising in the distance, Yuan Yuan squinted slightly, his voice becoming somewhat ethereal.

"There is no need to rush to prove your existence. The sword is temporarily sheathed in order to shine in the moment of being unsheathed."

Chapter 41 A Friend Comes from Afar

"Then, let's set off."

Yuan Yuan took a light step and walked into the black void in front of him, which resembled a human eye. Behind him, West and ten weapon types followed closely behind, stepping into the darkness.

When Yuan Yuan and the others emerged from the dark cavity, they had already arrived in the real world. However, what greeted their eyes was a landscape no different from Hueco Mundo.

Countless Hollows roared through the mountains and fields, intimidating, demonstrating, and provoking each other, yet none dared to attack. For the mid-ranking Hollow who had brought them here had forbade any fighting.

The terrifying spiritual pressure of the mid-level Hollow made them, who had only recently transformed into Hollows and were as weak as ants, unable to muster the slightest will to resist.

"Father, these are all the Hollows I could find in the three months since you issued the collection order."

West pointed to the vast emptiness in the valley, the snake's head rising, its voice chilling.

"Because you said that these virtual beings should be brought to the real world as discreetly as possible, I didn't touch those brainless and difficult-to-manage Killian. But if Father needs them, I can bring them all over immediately."

Yuan Yuan looked at the illusory group below and narrowed his eyes in satisfaction.
