Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

The horrific scene lasted for several minutes, with the white snake twisted into a pretzel shape, nearly tying itself into a knot.

Until he was on the verge of death, an unprecedented power surged forth from within his body.

Spiritual pressure surges!

A tangible light emanated from it, the massive serpentine body visibly shrank, and dense cracks appeared on the bone-like mask.

Click!

The moment the shattering sound rang out, Sunsun, reborn, appeared in the center of the laboratory.

With long, dark green hair, a slender body, and a mask resembling a headdress adorning her hair, she exuded a surging spiritual pressure that distorted the surrounding air.

Sun Sun subconsciously raised her fair arm and awkwardly touched her cheek, experiencing a wonderful feeling she had never felt before.

Although this had been explained before the experiment.

Moreover, there are successful examples of Hueco Mundo.

But when this miraculous thing happened to her, Sunsun still found it hard to believe.

"Lord Naraku, I feel like I'm invincible right now."

Controlling the spiritual pressure that had surged several times over, Sun Sun grinned, inevitably caught up in her inflated emotions.

"Even Grimmjow is no match for me now!"

"Oh, is it that strong?"

Naraku Sora raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

"Within the normal range."

Aizen meticulously recorded the parameters of the changes occurring on Sunsun's body while explaining:

"The process of breaking through is itself a transformation, enough to make the Hollows completely new."

"However, it surprised me that she only dared to provoke Grimmjow."

"After breaking through, shouldn't we aim to compete with those Vastodes?"

"But since you've already said that, let's test your true strength after you've been unmasked."

With that, Aizen finished recording the basic data and walked out of the laboratory.

Sun Sun stood there, stunned, unable to react for a moment.

Soon, in a spacious and empty palace, Grimmjow, bewildered, looked across at the other side.

It had a human appearance, an ethereal spiritual pressure, and a familiar aura.

Who is this guy?

"Sunsun, don't hold back, unleash your full power."

Upon hearing Aizen's order, Sunsun paused for a moment, then a very subtle smile appeared on her face.

Previously, Grimmjow thought she was too weak and never challenged her.

This time, let this guy see what she's capable of.

Just as Grimmjow was puzzled, Sunsun drew the long sword from her waist and, driven by instinct, unleashed a materialized spiritual pressure.

A pink glow unfolded instantly, and a powerful storm rose from the ground.

"Strangle him, White Snake Princess!"

Under Grimmjow's astonished gaze, Sunsun, who was originally in human form, transformed her lower body into a thick, long snake tail, and her already powerful spiritual pressure increased even further.

"Arrancar, return to the blade?"

Because he frequently challenges other Hollows, Grimmjow is very familiar with this stance.

Each time ended in a crushing defeat.

He never expected that the weak white snake he used to look down on would suddenly become so powerful.

For a moment, Grimmjow felt a longing for the Arrancar.

He still remembered the promise Naraku had made after he was beaten up once before: that Hueco Mundo would soon enter the era of full-scale Arrancar.

Now it seems that it was indeed not just empty talk.

Indeed, compared to Barragan, who accomplished nothing for Hueco Mundo, Naraku was the true king who changed Hueco Mundo!

Grimmjow took a deep breath, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

Let me test the weight of the dough after it's broken.

With a long, slender body bowed low, spiritual pressure swirling around it, accompanied by a low growl, a streak of light swept across the earth, heading straight ahead.

The leopard king's claws, gleaming with a deep blue light, tore through the air without hesitation, heading straight for Sunsun's neck.

Clang——

The sound of metal clashing echoed through the empty palace, and the powerful spiritual pressure instantly suppressed Grimmjow.

As a monstrous force surged forth, the streamlined body was sent flying uncontrollably backward, crashing into a stone pillar behind it and sending up a cloud of dust.

Feeling the excruciating pain coursing through his body, Grimmjow's eyes flashed with disbelief.

The improvement the Hollows have made in terms of their power is even more terrifying than imagined.

No wonder no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't defeat those Hollows in Las Noches.

Compared to his current state, Szayelaporro and his group seem to be in a higher dimension.

But admitting defeat is out of the question.

Even if we are outmatched, we will fight to the very last moment.

Enjoying the thrill of battle was one of his goals in life.

With a deep roar, Grimmjow charged at Sunsun once more.

Intense fighting broke out again.

Aizen looked at the scene before him with a pleasant feeling, a slight smile playing on his lips.

The success of the face-breaking experiment means that we are on the right track.

Now, all we need to do is proceed step by step, and sooner or later we will be able to complete the Hogyoku.

At that time, numerical values ​​will no longer be the exclusive property of any one person.

As if recalling certain scenes, a glint of anticipation flashed in Aizen's eyes.

Chapter 229 Win Win Win

Under Aizen's leadership, Las Noches flourished.

Because Sunsun successfully became an Arrancar, other Hollows saw the possibility of going even further.

The Hollows of Las Noches are primarily composed of Adjuchas, with Kylian as secondary members. There are only a very few ordinary Hollows with special talents, and animal Hollows that serve as snacks and pets.

As a mid-level Hollow, Adjuchas can generally evolve by consuming its own kind or higher-level Hollows.

However, once bitten by a Hollow of the same or higher level, evolution will be permanently halted.

In extremely unstable states, it may even degenerate into an unconscious gilian, a process that is usually irreversible.

Therefore, for the Adjuchas, apart from basic survival, evolution is their primary pursuit in life, and it can even be said to be their only pursuit.

Now, the Prime Minister of Las Noches has personally announced the creation of the Arrancar technique, which allows the Adjuchas to evolve.

After completing the Breaker achievement, your status will stabilize and there will be no risk of regression.

Not only that, their strength will also increase several times or even more than ten times.

All they have to pay is a tiny, negligible amount of physical pain and a negligible risk of surgical failure.

How could this not drive the Void Realm mad?

Of course, Aizen, who preferred to stay behind the scenes and orchestrate everything, attributed all the credit to Naraku Sora.

Therefore, the loyalty of the Adjuchas to this new King of Hueco Mundo instantly reached its peak, with almost no possibility of betrayal.

With the steady progress of the Las Noches renovation project, even some Hollows who don't have much need for evolution have gradually gotten used to life here.

They even harbored the absurd idea of ​​protecting this beautiful thing.

For example, Tia Harribel.

"You said you want to participate in the second phase of the face-breaking surgery?"

Naraku looked at the shark-woman in front of him with suspicion, wondering if she had been switched.

Halibel nodded calmly:

"During my time living in Hueco Mundo, I realized that not all Grim Reapers are treacherous and vicious; they also have their merits."

"Although it's difficult to spot."

Nai Luo Kong: "?"

He suspected the woman was insulting him, and he had ample evidence.

"During my time in Hueco Mundo, I saw many things I had never seen before, or even imagined."

Herribel's gaze softened, and even her voice was no longer so cold.

"So it turns out that Hollows can live in harmony, that Adjuchas can evolve without devouring their own kind, and that we can live peacefully under the moonlight..."

"And the one who brought all this to light was not the former king of Hueco Mundo, but the Shinigami of Soul Society."

"I have to admit that my vision was too narrow."

"Therefore, in order to thank you for the changes you have brought to Hueco Mundo, I am willing to pledge my loyalty to you, Lord Naraku."

There was a time when Barragan extended invitations to Harribel on more than one occasion, and even sent his Adjuchas to intercept her, all in an effort to make her a member of Las Noches.

But as a Vastod, Heribel would not so easily submit to the other party.

Moreover, Barragan never once considered doing anything for Hueco Mundo.

His purpose in recruiting Harribel was merely to strengthen Las Noches' power and further expand his control over Hueco Mundo.
