"Dong!"
"Dong!"
"Dong!"
Inside the Great Hollow Home, in an underground training room.
Thumping sounds emanated from the milky-white giant cocoon formed by Yekawa, which were the sounds of Yekawa's heartbeat.
At this moment, Yekawa's original Menos Grande body was completely dissolved within the giant cocoon, then reconstructed into a brand-new body in the amniotic fluid composed of pure, concentrated, liquid-like Reishi.
Above the entire Great Hollow Home, a massive dark-golden Reishi vortex, over several hundred meters in diameter, spun wildly, as vast amounts of Reishi surged into the dark-golden vortex.
These immense Reishi, after being transformed by the vortex, were completely absorbed by the pure white silk threads clinging to the walls, then continuously transmitted into the giant cocoon where Yekawa was located.
At the entrance of the training room, a group of Adjuchas felt their own spiritual pressure uncontrollably rush towards the training room.
Barnes, the strange fish, and Red Mountain Goat, Perke were both veteran generals who had followed Yekawa from the very beginning, so they were among the first to guard the entrance during Yekawa's retreat.
"Puck, I feel like my body is going to fall apart!"
Barnes, the strange fish, felt the terrifying suction force from the training room, his voice trembling slightly.
"I... I am too..."
Red Mountain Goat, Perke replied in a muffled voice.
Clearly, they weren't the only two who couldn't withstand it; it was evident that the vast majority of Adjuchas couldn't bear this terrifying suction force!
At this moment, Starrk's languid voice drifted over:
"Those who can't withstand this suction should go back first. Only those who can withstand it need to stay and guard!"
"Yes, Lord Starrk!"
Upon hearing Starrk's voice, the Adjuchas retreated as if granted a great pardon.
Afterward, only six figures remained in the area: four Vasto Lorde, and the remaining two Adjuchas were naturally Grimmjow and Wonderweiss.
Evidently, only Vasto Lorde and Menos Grande extremely close to Vasto Lorde could resist this terrifying suction force.
...
Hueco Mundo.
It should be said, Hueco Mundo under construction. Ever since Baraggan's Hueco Mundo, which had no walls or roof, was destroyed by Yekawa's Thunder Sea Domain, Aizen had subdued Baraggan at the ruins of Hueco Mundo.
However, since Aizen had not yet defected from Soul Society, he naturally wouldn't permanently reside in Hueco Mundo. At this moment, Baraggan was still the nominal King of Hueco Mundo.
He was currently under Aizen's command, leading a group of Menos Grande to construct a new Hueco Mundo, a true palace with a roof and walls.
At this moment, unintelligent Gillian, under the command of Adjuchas, were dragging massive stones and piling them up in one place.
Then, several Adjuchas with arm-like blades or sharp blades growing from parts of their bodies were responsible for uniformly cutting the stones into large, identically shaped giant bricks.
Next, a snail-like Adjuchas would secrete mucus to serve as concrete, and finally, some humanoid Adjuchas would act as masons, meticulously laying these bricks one by one.
Thus, a group of Menos Grande worked together to build a true palace in the desolate desert.
Meanwhile, Baraggan, wearing his crown, sat on his bone throne, like a supervisor, watching his numerous Menos Grande construct the new Hueco Mundo!
At this moment, a half-human, half-tiger Adjuchas came before Baraggan and bowed respectfully.
"Reporting, Emperor Baraggan, a giant vortex has formed above the organization calling itself the Great Hollow Home, at the southern end of Hueco Mundo, and is furiously absorbing the free-floating Reishi in Hueco Mundo!"
"As soon as we get close, we feel our spiritual pressure uncontrollably flowing out. Do we need to send someone to investigate?"
If the original Baraggan had heard of someone causing trouble in his Hueco Mundo, he certainly wouldn't have let them off, possibly even sending a large army to conquer them. But now he was no longer the King of Hueco Mundo; he was merely temporarily managing Hueco Mundo for Aizen!
Every time he thought of this, he felt immensely humiliated.
"That is not our concern. Right now, our responsibility is to build Hueco Mundo properly, do you understand, Ggio Vega?"
Upon hearing this, the half-human, half-tiger Adjuchas hesitated, then finally reluctantly uttered:
"Yes, Lord Baraggan!"
...
In the training room, the giant cocoon formed by Yekawa continued to emit the thumping sounds of a heartbeat.
And Yekawa had a very long dream.
In the dream, he lived with his mother in a small house by the sea. His most leisurely days were spent lying on the beach in his mother's arms, listening to her sing nursery rhymes, enjoying the sea breeze gently caressing his cheek—a feeling of immense contentment.
Suddenly, Yekawa struggled to open his eyes, wanting to see his mother's appearance clearly, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't. He only vaguely saw that his mother had a head of brilliant golden hair.
The next instant, the sleeping Yekawa suddenly awoke. He clearly felt himself enveloped in a warm ocean, every drop of which was composed of Reishi.
Then, Yekawa felt his aura surge dramatically, and the giant cocoon in the underground palace gradually began to shrink. This process continued for half a month.
"Crack!"
With a crisp sound, after the giant cocoon was completely shriveled, cracks began to appear on its surface, until they covered it entirely.
"Splash!"
A fair hand stretched out from the shriveled cocoon, then ripped it open forcefully. A naked figure emerged from the cocoon.
In his right hand, he held a long katana with both its hilt and sheath in a dark-golden color!
The tsuba was covered with intricate patterns, as if a ferocious centipede was coiled around it!
He was a young, handsome man, with black eyes and black hair, fair skin, and a height of over eight feet. His eyes were as brilliant as vast stars. His muscles were clearly defined, lean yet not bulky; the entire person was as perfect as a work of art.
Most importantly, there was not a single trace of a mask remaining on his face, making him indistinguishable from a normal human. The only difference from an ordinary person was a thumb-sized Hollow hole on his abdomen.
"I have successfully become an Arrancar!"
Yekawa first looked at his hands, which were identical to a human's, then touched his face.
Upon realizing that the sensation was not that of a cold mask but his own warm face, Yekawa was immediately overjoyed.
With a wave of his hand, the small portion of shriveled white giant cocoon fragments that were on the ground transformed into a set of exquisite pure white clothing and draped over his body.
These giant cocoon fragments were originally Yekawa's remnants, containing the remaining energy essence of the entire Hueco Mundo. For him, they were perfectly suitable for making clothes.
And that white clothing was naturally made by Yekawa, imitating the Arrancar attire from the original work.
Yekawa closed his eyes and could clearly perceive his appearance, which was only three-tenths similar to his Shinigami clone, Ito Makoto.
If Ito Makoto was a gentle handsome man who made people feel unconsciously close to him, then Yekawa at this moment exuded an aura that kept people at a distance. Their temperaments could be said to be vastly different.
As Yekawa continued to perceive, he could clearly sense the numerous Menos Grande guarding him outside the door.
He closed his eyes and, through the Reishi floating in the air in Hueco Mundo, could even perceive the scenery within several hundred kilometers of the Great Hollow Home.
But what surprised him the most was...
