Infinite Chimera Creation

"So what if I'm human? Even if I retain some human traits, I am still Yuan Yuan, and I am still the most perfect being."

With an unconscious, icy roar, Yuan Yuan's spiritual energy began to change rapidly, as if the blue of the sky had faded and turned into pure white.

As the pale spiritual energy surged, a mad aura called "arrogance" spread out. Although it was just spiritual energy that had just completed its transformation, it easily crushed the resentment accumulated in hell for thousands of years, causing the black energy that was originally scattered everywhere to gather into a small ball.

"As expected!! This is the real Yuan Yuan. For the past few decades, seeing that corrupt and mortal version of you has made me want to vomit!"

Hongxing's voice rang out again, this time without his previous listlessness; his excited shouts resounded throughout Yuan Yuan's mind.

PS2, I hope my writing skills can convey that "[the protagonist overcomes human mental aging and successfully achieves immortality with a human mindset and identity, which is incredibly awesome]." However, I'm not very confident in my writing abilities [facepalm]. Let me explain: in my view, human thinking is not suitable for immortality because humans have strong desires and a fast-paced lifestyle. If they survive for a certain period, they will inevitably experience "mental aging," or even "mental death," becoming mere zombies. Immortals... should be like some seventeen-year-old old woman, leisurely doing nothing every day.

Chapter 46 Special Laboratory

A white spiritual pressure, brimming with arrogance, swept through the deepest reaches of Hell like a cataclysmic event. Instantly, some of the black chains turned pure white.

The black locks and white chains clashed repeatedly, their roaring madness and icy arrogance like natural enemies, erupting into the most intense conflict the moment they made contact.

The black energy generated by the aggregation and transformation of the anger of countless vengeful people was clearly far inferior in quality to the "arrogance" that Yuan Yuan had regained. However, Yuan Yuan was only one person, and in terms of quantity, Hell left him far behind.

One has an advantage in quantity, while the other has an absolute advantage in quality. When they meet, they are locked in a stalemate.

Yuan Yuan didn't know what Hell was originally like, but there was no doubt that Hell had changed after the appearance of the black energy. Because of the black energy's ability to affect even matter, the basic structure of Hell was altered. The black energy, which was originally just an external substance, replaced the original foundation of Hell's world and became the basis for Hell's existence.

Now, Yuan Yuan has suppressed nearly half of the dark energy with his arrogance, which is equivalent to turning himself into one of the foundations of hell.

With a cold laugh, Yuan Yuan controlled his pure white spiritual power and ripped a piece off the black mist, tightly wrapping it to prevent any leakage. Then, he used a levitation spell to lift the demon and rushed towards the red water above without stopping.

Now that Yuan Yuan has figured out the nature of the black energy and awakened [Arrogance], Hell is temporarily useless to him. Although he has the idea of ​​obtaining more from Hell, his spiritual power is still too little to complete his plan.

Since it cannot be completed for the time being, then let it go decisively. When you have enough ability, come back here and take what belongs to you.

Unlike when he arrived, Yuan Yuan was guided by a beacon left at the entrance to Hell, and his newly awakened arrogance shielded him from the influence of Hell. It didn't take long for him to reach the entrance to Hell.

Without waiting for West to open the door from the outside, Yuan Yuan gently stretched out his right hand and pressed it against the empty space in front of him. Instantly, several chains, like tentacles, shot out and plunged fiercely into the empty void.

A moment later, a huge door appeared in front of Yuan Yuan. Ignoring the tightly closed door, Yuan Yuan walked forward. When he reached the door, it slowly opened automatically.

Calmly walking out of the gate, Yuan Yuan strolled back to the ground.

When Yuan Yuan stepped onto the ground, West and four weapon users were already waiting there respectfully.

"Welcome back, Father."

With a slight smile, Yuan Yuan patted West's head.

“You’ve done a good job. Now I’ve done what I needed to do. West, open the Black Chamber and send me back to Hueco Mundo.”

"Your will, Father."

Without the slightest hesitation, Wester's head swayed, tearing a huge rift in the air. Neither he nor the four weapon types seemed to see the clearly seriously injured Wraith floating behind Yuan Yuan.

The black cavity remained black, the void circle remained gray-white, and nothing had changed.

Taking a deep breath of the sandy air, Yuan Yuan put the demon down and gently waved his hand.

"You four, take him to get treatment."

After bowing to Yuan Yuan, the four weapon-wielding men carried the demon and ran towards the infirmary. Only after they were out of Yuan Yuan's sight did a look of sorrow appear on their faces. The demon was severely injured, and the five withered men were nowhere to be found; the outcome was predictable.

After giving West a few instructions, Yuan Yuan plunged into the special laboratory. He had a brilliant idea that, if successful, could potentially create more than one very interesting little thing.

Although the special research lab was built with Yuan Yuan's approval, the plan was indeed proposed by Rize Kamishiro. In some peculiar ways, this original ghoul always possessed an extraordinary imagination, and this special lab was one of her creations.

Upon entering the special laboratory, the first thing you see is a huge, transparent cage, as large as a glass display case. Inside, twenty Shinigami who had followed Yuan Yuan to Hueco Mundo under the guise of escorting him were struggling in agony. White liquid gushed from their eyes, mouths, noses, and ears, making them appear as if they were about to become Hollowfied and form masks.

However, they had maintained this near-hollowing state for a long time, yet they still hadn't completely transformed into chaotic Hollows. This was because at the top of the transparent cage, dozens of small pipes were connected there, and the two Zanpakuto users, whose abilities were wind-type weapons, were taking turns continuously drawing the white liquid spraying from the faces of the Shinigami through these pipes.

Thus, because the amount of liquid on the Grim Reapers' faces was never enough to form a mask, their instinct during Hollowfication caused them to continuously expel new liquid. The extracted liquid was quickly poured into a large, sealed container to the side, waiting for researchers who needed it to collect it.

This liquid, used to construct Hollow masks, has diverse uses and special effects in many aspects. However, it is difficult to collect, as it can only be obtained from people who have just become Hollows. Even after Yuan Yuan developed a potion that could restore the masks to liquid form, the production remained low due to the need to hunt Hollows in large numbers to collect the masks.

After learning about the situation, Rize Kamishiro, who was appointed as the head of the third research group, came up with a plan to use the Shinigami as dairy cows in just a few days. In the plan, she clearly listed the benefits of repeatedly using the Shinigami in Hollowfication, without mentioning at all the suffering that the Shinigami would have to endure.

The Void Mask Liquid has many uses, one of which is to purify spiritual energy. Yuan Yuan made a special trip to the special laboratory specifically for this ability of the Void Mask Liquid.

"Increase the spiritual energy density in the cage to accelerate the production rate of the mask liquid. At the same time, implement special controls on the mask liquid, prohibiting any experimental projects below level B from applying for its use. Now, inject all the stockpiled mask liquid into pool number one."

The ghoul in charge of managing the special laboratory was stunned, somewhat unable to react. All experimental projects in Yuan Yuan's research institute were graded according to their importance, with S being the highest and E the lowest. Currently, S-level and A-level experiments required Yuan Yuan's personal involvement, while B-level experiments were the highest-level research projects accessible to researchers.

Now, with Yuan Yuan's order, all experimental projects below level B are prohibited, which is practically a complete ban on anyone using the mask liquid.

After realizing what was happening, the administrator hurriedly followed Yuan Yuan's instructions and injected the stock of mask liquid into pool number one.

Watching the liquid level in the pool slowly rise, Yuan Yuan's lips twitched. The large white sphere floating behind him suddenly shook, sending a cloud of black gas into the pool.

Chapter Forty-Seven: Team Leader Meeting

"Silence! No noise is allowed during the team leader's meeting. Have you forgotten even this basic rule?"

The captain slammed his cane on the ground. Although he didn't open his eyes, his angry and serious gaze was undoubtedly fixed on Kyoraku Shunsui, who was speaking.

Although the wrathful gaze of the strongest Shinigami in a thousand years could terrify most Shinigami, causing them to admit their mistakes regardless of whether they were at fault, Kyoraku Shunsui, as one of the old man's only two disciples, had figured out his master's temper since childhood. He knew that his teacher wasn't really angry, but was just giving him a routine warning, afraid that he might accidentally cross the line.

Honestly, after all these years, the old man still thinks I'm that reckless young lad. With a small complaint in his heart, Kyoraku Shunsui adjusted his straw hat, revealing a mocking smile in its shadow.

"Old man Shan, you've come to the wrong person this time. It's true that I often chat with you before you come out, but this time it was Shisi Lang who took the initiative to start the conversation."

Yamamoto Genryusai looked at Ukitake Jushiro with surprise. Although he knew that Kyoraku Shunsui would not lie about such matters, he still did not quite believe that Ukitake Jushiro would take the initiative to chat during a serious team leader meeting.

Just as he understood Kyoraku Shunsui, he also understood Ukitake Jushiro. He knew that although his student was not as honest as he appeared, he was willing to maintain the image of a well-behaved child in these small details.

[Hopefully, it's not just pent-up frustration wanting to unleash it all. If another Kyoraku Shunsui appears, I'll really have a headache.] The Captain-Commander murmured to himself, then slowly spoke.

"Fourteen, explain."

[This is blatant discrimination! I just yelled at him, but Fourteen had to explain first.] Kyoraku Shunsui thought to himself, watching the Captain-Commander's face like he was watching a good show, waiting for Ukitake to speak.

With a wry smile, Ukitake, though already anticipating his teacher's unpleasant expression, could only helplessly begin to explain.

"Teacher, I was just a little worried about Captain Yuan Yuan, so I discussed it with Chunshui. Although Captain Yuan Yuan is indeed very strong, is it really okay for him to be trapped in Hueco Mundo?"

Amidst Kyoraku Shunsui's gloating and Ukitake's helpless gaze, the Captain-Commander's expression, as they had predicted, turned incredibly grim. At that moment, the Captain-Commander once again thought of that young man who caused him even more headaches than Kyoraku Shunsui.

"Although I really want to say that Yuan Jun will definitely be alright, it has been forty years since Yuan Jun went to Hueco Mundo and there has still been no news from him. I can only sadly believe that he has met with misfortune in Hueco Mundo. Thinking of Yuan Jun, who was both my mentor and friend, dying so young, I can't suppress the sadness in my heart."

Seeing the grief-stricken face of Tachibana Koimaru, Kyoraku Shunsui's initial good mood, which had arisen from the old man's embarrassment, vanished instantly. If he hadn't seen the man's true face in the underground prison, even he would probably have believed that this man was genuinely grieving for the passing of his dear friend.

"The teacher absolutely cannot die!! Absolutely!!"

Kensei Muguruma, who had become the captain of the Ninth Division, clenched his fists and glared angrily at Koimaru Tachibana, as if he would fight him to the death if he didn't take back what he had just said.

"That's right, how could someone as powerful as Teacher Yuan Yuan possibly fall in a place like Hueco Mundo?!"

Koto, who had also become a captain, took a step forward. The usually taciturn man seemed even more excited than the hot-tempered Kensei. Originally unremarkable in his student days due to his taciturn nature, after sitting in the position of captain of the 12th Division for forty years, he had developed an aura of quiet authority.

"quiet!!"

Seeing that a conflict was about to break out, Yamamoto Genryusai once again struck the ground with his cane, releasing a portion of his spiritual pressure, which pressed down hard on Kensei Rokusha, Nozomi Koto, and Koimaru Tachibana.

"All matters will be discussed after this meeting. Remember, captain-level battles are not allowed within the Soul Society. Now, let's begin the captains' meeting. Each captain will report on their recent situation."

Without a word, the three lowered their heads and silently retreated back into the ranks. Seeing the three obediently return to their positions, the captain's narrowed eyes flashed with satisfaction. However, he didn't notice that the three men, with their heads bowed, also gleamed with satisfaction.

Kyoraku Shunsui adjusted his straw hat again, stepped out of the ranks, his usual frivolous smile vanished, replaced by a serious expression.

"Let me report first this time, as I think this news is quite important. As you all know, Hell has always been monitored by the Grim Reaper. Due to its danger and special nature, even a captain cannot easily enter without the consent of half of the captains. For hundreds of years, because of this rule, Hell has been steadily carrying out its duty of executing those who committed heinous crimes in their lifetime."

However, according to a recent report from one of our team members who went on a mission to the mortal realm, he unexpectedly witnessed the gates of hell opening not long ago. He didn't pay much attention to it at first, since any Grim Reaper of a certain age has seen the gates of hell open at least once or twice.

To his surprise, the gates of Hell, originally a somber black with yellow skulls representing the guardians, were now pure white, and white cloud patterns had appeared on the black background. In short, the gates of Hell, originally predominantly black, had become predominantly white.

Turning to look at the captains, Kyoraku Shunsui's expression was serious.

"Although there is no clear evidence, we cannot be careless about matters concerning Hell. As you all know, whether it is the leakage of Hell's miasma, the escape of wicked people, or the breaking out of Hell by guardians, it will bring enormous crises to the present world."

Therefore, I request permission to enter Hell to investigate. I believe that someone is behind this anomaly, and we must find this person before things become irreversible.

"I agree with the band leader's opinion."

"Reconsider."

"no comment."

"Going to Hell alone is too dangerous. I request to go with the band leader of the Jing Band."

As soon as Kyoraku Shunsui finished speaking, a chorus of voices in agreement rang out. The Soul Society is based on the Human World; the two are inextricably linked. If the Human World suffers a major crisis, the Soul Society will certainly be in trouble. These seasoned captains, all experienced and shrewd, naturally knew what choice to make.

A strange glint flashed in their eyes simultaneously, and Tachibana Koimaru, Kensei Muguruma, and Nozomi Kotori spoke at the same time.

"no comment."

"Since no one has any objections, then, Captain Kyoraku and Captain Kuchiki, you two should prepare as quickly as possible. Once preparations are complete, depart immediately for the mortal world to open the gates of hell."

Kyoraku Shunsui and Kuchiki Ginryu stepped forward, about to answer, when they suddenly stopped.

The next moment, a huge explosion, accompanied by a spiritual pressure filled with violence and despair, soared into the sky.

Soul Society enters a state of war preparedness.

Chapter Forty-Eight: I'm Very Humorous

"This spiritual pressure is definitely Hollow, but how could so many Hollows enter Soul Society?"

Feeling the spiritual pressure emanating from the air, Ukitake could hardly believe his senses. It wasn't that Hollows didn't enter Soul Society; on the contrary, they entered quite frequently. However, these Hollows were usually newly formed, confused, and entered Soul Society by accident while recklessly wandering around. Therefore, Hollows rarely appeared in pairs or more; most appeared alone, and were weak, essentially just weaklings.

However, the spiritual pressure emanating from the air clearly tells the captains that [a large number of Hollows have rushed into Soul Society, and the weakest of these Hollows is at least at the level of a Killian].

"What's the point of talking about possibility now? Captain-Commander, please give the order to attack immediately. If we delay any longer, Rukongai will be reduced to ruins."
