The tall figure walked across the rope bridge and stepped into a tall tower. There were no windows in the tall tower, almost completely blocking out the sunlight from the artificial sky outside the tower.
Click
After making sure that no sunlight could reach him, the tall figure took off the mask on his face.
As the long mask was taken off, a rather handsome face was revealed. This figure was none other than Arronillo, who had had a battle with Duan Mu.
"I really don't understand Aizen-sama's thoughts. He finally came to Hueco Mundo where there is only darkness, and he even made a sun imitating the real world. He didn't even think about someone like me who can only show his abilities in darkness."
clang
The mask covering his head was thrown aside, and Arronillo took out the latest report from the monitoring department.
These reports are all about some information about Hollows. Since becoming No. 9, he has swallowed thirty thousand Hollows. At the beginning, he basically devoured whatever Hollows he encountered.
But after reaching the current level of strength, he can no longer devour any void, because no matter how many weak voids are swallowed, the effect is minimal; instead of wasting time on those wastes, it is better to let the monitoring department select those with special characteristics.
Ability, or the virtual devouring of powerful spiritual pressure.
outer ring
Looking at the report sheet in his hand, Aaronillo frowned and subconsciously touched his chest.
When he unzipped the white robe that covered his entire body, an extremely ferocious scar was clearly visible on his exposed chest.
Although it had been two years since he was injured, even today, he still felt a dull pain from the scar on his chest, and the black-haired young man could not help but appear in his mind.
"madman!"
Arronillo cursed in a dark tone.
He still hasn't figured out how he was exposed.
He was clearly greeting me with a gentle smile, but that bastard took a knife and cut himself without saying a word.
and……
That crazy black man not only had a brain problem, he was also despicable. He clearly had strong spiritual pressure, but he showed himself to be weak in spiritual pressure in order to make him take it lightly.
If you pay enough attention to him from the beginning... no, even if you just don't despise him, then you will definitely be able to devour him in the end.
Instead of being like that good-for-nothing Nnoitra who escaped from him.
snort
Arronillo snorted coldly. He felt disdainful from the bottom of his heart towards Nnoitra's fighting madness, even though the opponent's ranking among the Ten Blades had now improved a few places.
But this kind of madman who only knows how to fight will become a part of him sooner or later as long as he swallows enough voids.
No……
At that time, all the ten blades will become a part of me!!
Arronillo continued to flip through the report in his hand, with a look of impatience on his face as he flipped through it.
"Waste...waste...still waste...all is waste"
Aaroniro scolded: "Can't there be some Hollows with special abilities? These useless wastes have no value at all!"
The same situation has been repeated over the past two years.
Since he has no subordinate officers, he goes to the monitoring department almost every day to obtain reports and make selections from them.
certainly……
It's not that there are no voids that he can take a fancy to, but most of these voids are in the outer circle, or hidden in the forest of great voids.
And every time he wanted to leave Xuye Palace, a pair of eyes would appear in his mind. Those eyes stared at him, revealing a kind of gloominess that seemed to be able to swallow his own soul. The wound on his chest ached faintly.
.
fear?
No
It's just that these wastes are not worth leaving Xuye Palace to devour them!
The self that can evolve infinitely is invincible.
Even Aizen-sama recognizes his own potential. How could he be afraid of a mere Shinigami?
But whether he admitted it or not, the figure of the black-haired young man would constantly appear in his mind, and those eerie and calm eyes would appear in his sleep.
I can't stop devouring it.
otherwise……
It won't be long before, as one of the few remaining original Ten Blades, he is likely to become the next Arrancar to be eliminated from the Ten Blades sequence.
Familiar people kept disappearing and being eliminated, which already made Aronillo feel extremely anxious.
And this morning, after disappearing for two days, Tiruti suddenly appeared at the Ten Blades meeting. He gave up his position as a Ten Blades due to lack of strength and voluntarily became a three-digit Arrancar who was eliminated.
The urgency is heightened to the extreme!!
Of course, he was not surprised at all that a loser like Tiruti would give up the status of the Ten Blades, because that madman Nnoitra had already set his sights on her.
There are only two results waiting for her, either to be 'voluntarily' eliminated and give up the No.5 position to Nnoitra; or to be killed by Nnoitra and have Nnoitra take his place.
But compared to Tiruti, who has no room for improvement, she can still continue to evolve and is unlikely to be abandoned by Aizen-sama.
Can……
He still felt scared, especially when Tiruti saw him in the morning, her sarcastic smile and words deeply stimulated him:
"Just continue to be afraid. I will wait for you in the area where the three-digit Arrancar lives."
That bitch!
Aaronillo cursed fiercely in his heart, then picked up the report sheet that had been thrown aside and read it again.
Finally, some virtual queens were selected, put on masks, and walked out of the tower.
The gloomy eyes appeared again, causing him to pause slightly, but in the end he walked out.
It has been more than two years. Although the madman escaped, he was extremely injured. He may have died or been swallowed by the void two years ago.
Even if he survived by luck, he should have left Hueco Mundo long ago.
I have nothing to be afraid of!!
Under such constant persuasion, Aaronillo left Xuye Palace again after two years.
However……
Arronillo did not notice that when he left, a petite figure stood there on a rope bridge in Xuye Palace, watching his departure with purple eyes.
Tiruti looked at Arronillo who was walking away, a sarcastic look flashed in her purple eyes, and then she retracted her gaze and turned to look at where the numbers on her body were originally, with a strange look on her pretty face.
If it were me two years ago, I probably wouldn’t have thought of it, right?
It was clearly decided that as long as Aizen-sama did not personally eliminate him, even if he died, he would die in the position of the Ten Blades.
result……
Now he actually voluntarily gave up his status as the Ten Blades.
and……
I don't have the slightest regret, but I feel a little lucky that doing this can help Duan Mu.
…
The Great Void Forest.
Duan Mu, who was sitting cross-legged on the stone and practicing blade meditation, suddenly opened his eyes.
"Are you finally willing to come out?"
"What's coming out?"
The Picaros lying around Duan Mu jumped up one after another, noisily approaching Duan Mu, and woke up the Rock Eagle who was sleeping soundly.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? What happened?"
"Tirudi just contacted me."
Duan Mu stood up and replied casually: "Aronillo has left Xuye Palace. Although he doesn't know the specific destination, he is galloping toward the southeast after leaving Xuye Palace."
During these two days, Duan Mu re-perfected the virtual lines for Tiruti...more strictly speaking, he applied his new understanding of the virtual lines to Tiruti, making Tiruti's strength stronger again.
There has been some progress.
But only Tiruti herself knows how much progress has been made.
Duan Mu didn't even know about Tiruti's second-stage return blade ability, nor did he ask about it.
Although Tiruti wanted to test it, Duan Mu stopped him because Tiruti had told him before that the surveillance system built by Aizen in Hueco Mundo has become more and more complete, and it may be discovered accidentally.
However, Duan Mu had a vague feeling that Tiruti's strength should improve a lot as she further perfected her virtual patterns.
And the reason why it can be achieved to this extent can be said that a large part of the credit is due to Picaro.
That’s right!
Duan Mu finally decided to reorganize the spiritual core for Pikaro. Originally, he just planned to do as expected to prevent them from exposing their identities due to childish talk.
But because of Pikaro's special nature, he reorganized the spiritual core for them, which made Duan Mu's understanding of virtual patterns improve a lot.
Moreover, after reorganizing the spiritual core for Pikaro, Duan Mu's virtual pattern also gained a new ability, which is the connection within the body.
No matter how far the distance is, as long as Duan Mu wants to talk, he can talk to the person whose spiritual core he has reorganized, just like the connection between Pikaro. It is no longer the previous one, which can only be done by touching Tiruti
The spiritual pressure in her body allowed her to feel her position.
The reason why he knew that Aaronillo left Xuye Palace was precisely because of this.
[Void Pattern]: Advanced
It has to be said that the existence of Pikaro is too special. In the process of studying how to reorganize the spiritual core for them, Duan Mu's virtual pattern proficiency can be said to have improved by leaps and bounds, directly increasing by more than 30,000 proficiency levels.
As the virtual lines improved, Duan Mu's development of spiritual lines also made considerable progress.
[Development Spirit Pattern] Advanced
This trip to Hueco Mundo can be said to have been fruitful.
Of course, in addition to this, the experience points provided by Picaro are also a huge amount of income.
But what makes Duan Mu a little depressed is...
These brats have no idea how terrifying the power that Duan Mu has enhanced for them is. They don't have much pursuit of strength, and they don't have a sudden increase in their favorability like Tiruti because of this.
Although after a few days of getting along with each other, under Duan Mu's careful teaching, the favorability of the little girls in Pikaro towards Duan Mu has basically reached between 2035.
There are exactly sixty little Pikaro girls, with different strengths depending on the time they became Pikaro.
Among them, 42 little girls have the same experience value as ordinary members of the Gotei 13, 10 have the same experience as low-level officers, and the last 8 have the same experience as high-level officers...
I don’t know if it’s because the first Achucas were little boys. The stronger group of children, that is, the children who became ‘Pikaro’ very early, are basically all little boys; little girls are in the minority among them.
And they are generally not very strong.
Duan Mu has been instilling in Pikaro these days... the idea that little boys should play with little girls.
Closer to home, each of the 60 little girls has a favorability between 2035. This may not seem like a lot, but it is actually a number that makes Duan Mu ecstatic.
In total, they provided Duan Mu with 182,200 experience points.
Current experience value: 242200.
Duan Mu has not touched these experience points for the time being.
Being in Hueco Mundo, in order to deal with possible accidents, it is safer to keep some trump cards.
although……
In Duan Mu's opinion, his plan should be foolproof, and no one would ever find out that he had killed Aronillo!
"call"
Taking a breath, Duan Mu looked at each other with the rock eagle who was ready to go.
"Let's go."
“Duanmu pot pot”
A little Pikaro boy hugged Duan Mu's thigh, raised his head, and said, "Let's go help you too."
"Yeah, I'm going too."
"That guy Arronillo is so annoying, let me help you tear it up."
"Tear off his limbs, dismember him, dissect him, and then devour him."
"I'm going to take out his heart and eat it."
"How about we just kill Brother Duan Mu before he can?"
"..."
Yanjiu looked at the group of Pikaro who looked innocent and sounded childish, but said extremely cruel words, and couldn't help but hide behind Duan Mu.
Although he also understood that these little ghosts were far more cruel and terrifying than they appeared, but... speaking such words with the innocence of a child, no matter how many times he heard them, it made him shudder.
"That's not possible."
Duan Mu didn't react at all, but rubbed Pikaro's little head with a warm smile: "Did you forget to promise Brother Duan Mu and Sister Tiruti? You can't go out and mess around for the time being, otherwise Sister Tiruti
My brother and I may both die."
The rock eagle behind Duan Mu twitched the corner of his mouth when he heard the "oh"s at the end of Duan Mu's words.
After arriving here, he was already a little confused...
Is it Duan Mu, Tiruti, these children who are abnormal, or is it that they themselves are abnormal? Why can these people look so gentle and say such terrifying words?
Ignoring the disappointed words of the Picaros, Duan Mu left the cave with the Rock Eagle.
They have been delayed in Hueco Mundo for more than two days. The longer they stay in Hueco Mundo, the more likely an accident will happen, so they must solve the problem as soon as possible and leave Hueco Mundo.
Duan Mu's original plan was actually to go alone without the rock eagle.
But after pondering for a while, he decided to take Yanjiu with him, at least let him...
Give your big brother a ride.
Although the real Shiba Haiyan has died long ago.
But Aaroniro's mimicry was the spirit body of Shiba Haiyan, and everything he experienced in his body, as well as all the memories in his mind, were preserved.
Even if his heart is long gone, Rock Eagle should still watch the process of his brother's body dissipating.
After leaving the cave, Duan Mu directly pulled the rock vulture towards the direction from which Aaronilo came. While galloping, he had already locked the position of Aaronilo with the detection circuit.
…
"Ouch, ouch, ouch"
At the junction of the outer circle and the inner circle, accompanied by a shrill scream, a huge Hollow gradually dissipated.
“It tastes bad!”
After Yaronillo spat, he muttered to himself: "Although he is a waste, his abilities are quite interesting."
After that, he threw away the report sheet in his hand and prepared to go to the next target.
"Take care of your child..."
At this moment, a voice that made Aaronillo's pupils shrink suddenly sounded in his ears.
Before he could react, everything in front of him was shrouded in a black air that gave off a sinister aura.
"...just have fun."
Aaroniro felt an inexplicable pulling feeling coming from all directions. When the pulling feeling dissipated, everything in his field of vision changed drastically.
The dark night sky was replaced by a crooked painting. Although the painting was messy, you could barely make out the sun, moon, stars, etc. in the painting. It was obviously the sky.
The boundless white sand was replaced by 10 separately arranged high platforms. Under the high platforms was a bottomless abyss.
"——Ju Ming!"
As the cold words came out, the dark border rippled like water, and two figures walked out of the darkness and stepped on a high platform.
At the same time as the words came out, the high platforms spread out in a row began to move like magnets attracting each other, and eventually formed a huge...
