Chapter 68 - Chapter 68: Approaching The Stage Four

Bang!

A afterimage crashed heavily into the mountaintop, causing it to collapse.

Gantenbainne flew out, looking at the damaged wound on his right arm and his wrist bent at a strange angle, and he couldn't help but gasp.

"Monster.." From the beginning until now, even though he and Cirucci had teamed up, Nelliel still easily defeated them.

Even after he and Cirucci used Resurrección, releasing their full Reiatsu, they still couldn't pose any threat to Nelliel.

It was like a Vasto Lorde possessing power far superior to an Adjuchas, capable of absolute suppression.

Nelliel, who is above Vasto Lorde, also possessed power that could completely suppress a Vasto Lorde.

Even without using Resurrección, her normal Reiatsu alone was enough to easily suppress two Vasto Lorde Arrancars.

Their powers were not on the same level, nor were they in the same dimension.

Another afterimage flew over.

Gantenbainne's expression changed slightly he didn't even have time to dodge before the shadow struck his abdomen, sending him flying.

"Don't get in the way, Gantenbainne."

Cirucci stepped on his abdomen, then leaped, quickly returning to Nelliel's front.

Behind her, Gantenbainne also chased after her, rapidly closing the distance "You too, Cirucci, don't interfere with my attack!"

The rampant spiritual pressure even tore the sky apart, scattering wildly in all directions.

The mere aftershocks of this spiritual pressure were no less powerful than a Cero fired at full strength by an Adjuchas.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

An endless stream of spiritual pressure slammed into the transparent Single Shield, and the continuous impacts quickly caused cracks to appear in the Single Shield.

But immediately after, hundreds and thousands more Single Shields instantly stacked up, providing airtight defense against the wildly flying spiritual pressure.

"The sheer volume of this spiritual pressure is monstrous."

"A Vasto Lorde Arrancar indeed possesses more Reiatsu then a Captain Shinigami." beside Shinji, Mayuri Kurotsuchi observed the data of Cirucci and Gantenbainne fighting Nelliel, while exclaiming "But compared to those two Vasto Lorde, Vice-Captain Nelliel, who has undergone evolution, is undoubtedly even more terrifying."

Without using Resurrección, she still had an overwhelming advantage against two Vasto Lorde Arrancar who *had* used Resurrección.

What if she used Resurrección, her Reiatsu would increased dozens of times more?

But what was even more terrifying was that Nelliel listened to Shinji.

In front of Kuchiki Shinji, Nelliel, who was as docile as a kitten, was willing to obey all of Kuchiki Shinji's commands!

"Damn it." Cirucci growled.

A ray of light directly gathered in her palm.

This was a Gran Rey Cero.

But Nelliel speed that could no longer be described by movement, she moving from one point to another instantaneously.

Her eyes suddenly widened as she watched Nelliel press down on the gathering light in her hand with a backhand, then clench it!

Rumble!

Nelliel crushed the Gran Rey Cero with her bare hands!

In shock, a sharp pain shot through her cheek as Nelliel delivered a whip kick to her face.

There was nothing flashy about it, just a clean, crisp, and very stylish whip kick.

The immense power caused the air to whistle, and the point of impact erupted with an astonishing shockwave.

Cirucci immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, her body arching like a shrimp, turning into a shadow that smashed through countless rocks, plowing through thousands of meters.

"This kind of power is too exaggerated." Gantenbainne grimaced in pain.

It was a two-on-one fight, yet they were completely suppressed, unable to fight back at all even after using Resurrección.

From beginning to end, he had broken bones at least 20 times.

Without the ability of accelerated regeneration, Nelliel could dismantle him with a single punch.

But then, a look of horror flashed in Gantenbainne's eyes.

Nelliel, who had been hundreds of meters away, instantly appeared before him, and her small hand, not even half the size of his fist, pressed firmly onto his mask.

Rumble!

He was forcibly pressed into the ground by Nelliel, buried deep within a giant fissure hundreds of meters below.

Spiritual pressure erupted like a volcano, and under the immeasurable spiritual pressure, the ground was instantly vaporized.

From a distance, it looked as if a pale red sun was slowly rising from within that fissure.

"What astonishing Reiatsu."

"That Vasto Lorde, he isn't dead right?" Mayuri Kurotsuchi exclaimed.

This level of Strength was simply beyond Mayuri Kurotsuchi's imagination.

The boost that Segunda Etapa brought to Nelliel was immense.

Crack, crack!

Amidst the constantly shattering and annihilating Everything, a hand emerged from the ground.

Gantenbainne, covered in blood, crawled out with his sole remaining hand, casting a wary glance at the exploding Reiatsu, then he continuously used Sonído to leave the spot.

The next second.

The sun-like pale red Reiatsu sphere suddenly contracted, erupted with unimaginable destructive power.

Everything instantly dissolved under Nelliel's Reiatsu.

This attack even encompassed the entire underground space.

Shinji's eyes flashed, with a Shunpo, he arrived at the center of the explosion, pressing his hands together, and to Mayuri Kurotsuchi's wide-eyed astonishment, he continuously compressed the Reiatsu.

His hands closed, and a shockwave dispersed from Shinji's palms, ultimately dying out.

"Are you kidding me? He directly extinguished that level of Reiatsu attack with his bare hands?" Mayuri Kurotsuchi's face was filled with shock and disbelief, almost making him question reality on the spot.

that Reiatsu attack was capable of killing a Vasto Lorde Arrancar!

A Captain surpassing attack was forcibly extinguished by Kuchiki Shinji with his bare hands!

Most importantly, Kuchiki Shinji wasn't even injured?

What kind of monstrous defense was that?

What level had Kuchiki Shinji's Reiatsu has reached?

Did he break through the Shinigami limit by accessing Hollowfication power?

No, it was far more than that!

Just Hollowfication alone could never possess this level of Strength!

"I'm sorry, Shinji, I didn't control my strength well, It seems I caused trouble." At this moment, Nelliel flew to Shinji's side, her head bowed like a little girl who had made a mistake, her voice weak.

She was afraid, afraid that her actions had angered Shinji.

This timid and delicate appearance made it difficult to connect to Nelliel's previous demeanor.

Just moments ago, she was different person.

But in front of Kuchiki Shinji, she transformed into a fragile girl.

"You did very well, This is just about getting familiar with your power, it's nothing." Shinji shook his head.

If he hadn't been here that Nelliel's attack would have directly pierced the ground and destroyed the entire underground space.

Nelliel's current Reiatsu was Extremely strong..

Looking at the wisp of smoke rising from his palm, Shinji's eyes were calm.

It broke his base defense.

If Szayelaporro's Cero hadn't contained special substances, it would have been impossible to break Shinji's defense.

But Nelliel, she genuinely broke Shinji's defense!

Although there was no bleeding or wounds, Shinji did feel a long-forgotten sensation of being scalded by high heat.

"It's good that your not angry." Hearing Shinji's words, Nelliel leaped, her small face radiating happiness and contentment, and she hugged Shinji, rubbing against him affectionately.

This dependent look made Mayuri Kurotsuchi's eyelids twitch again.

Is Nelliel too dependent on Kuchiki Shinji?

It seems like this is more than just a simple crush, right?

Could it be.. Nelliel has fallen in love with Kuchiki Shinji?

Thinking of this, Mayuri Kurotsuchi's eyes gradually became strange.

However, out of a Scientist's instinct, he began to consider whether it was feasible for a Shinigami and a Hollow to be together, and whether there was a possibility for them to have offspring..

"This.." Meanwhile, Cirucci and Gantenbainne also had rather interesting expressions.

This was too outrageous.

Despite having achieved Segunda Etapa and becoming the highest-ranking Hollow in Hueco Mundo, Nelliel was so attached to a Shinigami.

Anyone who wasn't blind could see that Nelliel's feelings for Kuchiki Shinji were extraordinary, right?

But looking at Nelliel's display of dependence on Kuchiki Shinji during this time, even if Kuchiki Shinji told Nelliel to die, Nelliel probably wouldn't refuse.

Can mere dependence achieve this?

Can a Hollow fall in love with a Shinigami?

That Hollow is currently the highest rank in Hueco Mundo.

The absolute Monarch of Hueco Mundo!

Just as Gantenbainne hadn't fully recovered his senses.

She flew to Shinji, knelt on one knee, and lowered her head "Lord Shinji, please allow me to continue evolving, I beg you!"

"No matter what, please allow me to continue evolving."

"As long as Lord Shinji can allow me to also achieve This stage, then I'm willing to give everything for Lord Shinji, even this body or my life!" Cirucci swore by her own name, respectfully bowing her head.

Seeing this.

Gantenbainne cursed inwardly, calling her cunning, and also rushed over, kneeling on one knee "Lord Shinji, this is also what I desire in my heart."

After speaking, he bowed his head deeply.

"Oh-ho, the allegiance of a Vasto Lorde Arrancar, how terrifying, Captain Shinji." Mayuri Kurotsuchi looked deeply at Shinji.

A formidable power had gathered around Kuchiki Shinji.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi's eyes held a deep meaning.

If you think about it carefully.

Kuchiki Shinji's current Reiatsu limit cannot be estimated due to a lack of sufficient data.

It can be largely confirmed that he has completely surpassed the Captain's, possessing Reiatsu that transcends, he and Commander Yamamoto..

Kuchiki Shinji's Lieutenant, Nelliel, who obeys all of Kuchiki Shinji's commands.

She is currently a Segunda Etapa after evolving, making her the highest-ranking Hollow at present.

Similarly, she also possesses Reiatsu that completely transcends the Captains.

After that.

There are also Nelliel's two Subordinate Officials.

Those two Arrancars also possess Captain level strength.

Now.

Two more Vasto Lorde Arrancars want to follow Kuchiki Shinji.

What kind of combat power has gathered under Kuchiki Shinji's command?

In addition, there is also the help of a Scientist like himself.

The power of Kuchiki Shinji is simply terrifying!

"Please, you must accept us, Lord Shinji." Cirucci, who had not yet received a reply, bowed her head deeply.

She craved power too much.

Or rather.

All Hollows instinctively crave power.

Even Nelliel cannot refuse power, it's just that in Nelliel's eyes, many things are far more important than power.

Shinji thought for a moment and said "I can help you achieve Segunda Etapa, but it will take time."

Directly helping them achieve Resurrección?

Shinji would definitely not let other Menos Grande surpass Nelliel in rank.

If he were to help them achieve Segunda Etapa it would definitely be after Nelliel had evolved to a higher level.

As for whether he would be betrayed?

Shinji wasn't worried about that at all.

He held the technology for Arrancarization, and almost no Hollow could resist such a temptation.

Did they really think.

That all the Espada and Arrancars in Las Noches were loyal to Aizen?

All they wanted was the Arrancarization technology that Aizen possessed.

And Shinji, at this moment, possessed Arrancarization technology that definitely surpassed Aizen's.

After all, Shinji had already evolved into Third stage and he was about to enter the fourth state."

And Aizen?

He currently only had a flawed Hōgyoku in his hands without a perfect Hōgyoku, Aizen would not begin to fuse with the Hōgyoku.

Most importantly, regarding the development of the Hōgyoku.

Shinji's current power was above Aizen's

Furthermore.

Just like Mayuri Kurotsuchi, Shinji had also left mechanisms in Cirucci and Gantenbainne's hearts and brains.

If they betrayed him, Shinji would immediately kill them.

Shinji didn't need to worry about this point.

What Shinji needed to do now was to let Nelliel quickly familiarize herself with her current power, reaching the limit where she could evolve again.

And, to quickly enter the fourth state himself!

-a month passed.

In the Captain of the 10th Division's office.

In the room, there was a large recliner, facing the direction of the sunlight.

Shinji was napping on it, and beside him, Nelliel was also leaning against him, sleeping.

On the other side.

Matsumoto Rangiku was muttering something while angrily writing on the official documents in her hand, as if venting all her resentment onto the paperwork.

"All he does is hug Nelliel and nap."

"What about me?"

"He doesn't care for anyone, hmph." Matsumoto Rangiku slammed down the division documents in her hand, puffed out her cheeks, and was just about to go over and flip Shinji's recliner.

At the door, there was a sudden knock.

"Who is it?" Shinji opened his eyes, looking up blankly.

"It's me, Captain Shinji." A gentle voice sounded at the door, Shinji's eyes suddenly widened.

In his line of sight.

Was a woman wearing a white captains haori coat, with an extremely gentle smile on her face, soft eyes, and her hands gracefully clasped in front of her abdomen, like a yamato nadeshiko.

Her perfect figure, gentle personality, coupled with her graceful and refined demeanor, and her beautiful face, made Unohana Retsu a goddess in the eyes of all male Shinigami.

Not only that.

Even in the eyes of many Female Shinigami, Unohana Retsu was their role model, their direction forward.

Unohana Retsu's charm was immense she captivated both men and women.

Such an Unohana Retsu was truly the ideal wife everyone dreamed of..

Just kidding!

At the very least, Shinji didn't think that Unohana Retsu, who had maxed out her skills, would be any kind of ideal wife.

Unless she was completely conquered, then Unohana Retsu could indeed become an ideal wife.

Otherwise, she could truly give everyone a headache.

At the very least.

Shinji was having a headache right now.

"It seems Captain Shinji's expression looks very troubled." As if seeing through Shinji's thoughts, Unohana Retsu lightly shifted her steps and walked over gently "Captain of the 10th Division, Kuchiki Shinji."

"You've stood me up no less than three times this past months, haven't you?"

"After calling me Hana, you're afraid to see me now?"

"Kuchiki Shinji, I'm waiting for your answer." Unohana Retsu's expression suddenly changed.

Although, it was still that gentle look.

But it seemed, a layer of black aura permeated the surroundings..

We did not reach the goal.
