The first stage of Hollows is called Gillian, a lower-class type characterized by their immense size, slow movements, and intelligence comparable to that of a beast; in most cases, their actions are driven by instinct.
The second stage, intermediate Hollows, are called Adjuchas. Their combat power is several times that of Gillian, and they possess higher intelligence, leading large groups of Gillian as their leaders.
The evolution method for Adjuchas is still similar to Gillian, requiring them to constantly devour their companions.
After becoming an Adjuchas, if they do not continuously devour Hollows of the same rank, they will degenerate. Adjuchas that revert to Gillian can never evolve again.
Adjuchas that have reached their limit through consumption may not necessarily continue to evolve; they might continue to exist in their Adjuchas form.
Only a very small number of Adjuchas complete their transformation, breaking through their limits to become upper-class Hollows.
Upper-class Hollows, which are the third stage of Hollows, are called Vasto Lorde.
Vasto Lorde are much smaller in size compared to the previous two stages; the higher the Hollow's rank, the stronger its combat power, and the closer its body shape is to that of a human.
Hollows of this level already possess combat power equivalent to or exceeding that of a Shinigami captain.
The giant Hollow that appeared from the sky rift was a Gillian.
It was massive in size and had low intelligence, but its destructive power was incredibly astonishing.
Just the spiritual pressure generated by the fusion and condensation of hundreds of Hollows was enough to suppress everyone present.
Rukia intended to go help, but Kisuke Urahara froze her in place, telling her not to cause trouble.
A mass of red light appeared in front of the Gillian's mask, very similar to the state of a Tailed Beast using a Tailed Beast Bomb in the Naruto World.
Hollow Flash!
A highly concentrated beam of spiritual pressure, its destructive power was extremely formidable.
The power of the Hollow Flash could directly destroy the park where Ichigo and his companions were located.
The red light gradually became dazzling.
Just as Ichigo was about to rush forward to take on the attack, a figure appeared in front of the Great Hollow.
Chu Yang, holding a wooden sword, excitedly charged towards the Gillian.
Under the shroud of red light, Source Breathing erupted with brilliant silver light.
Chu Yang was like a meteor streaking across the night sky.
The next second.
The Gillian suddenly took a step back, showing signs of retreating directly back to Hueco Mundo.
It had no intelligence, only the instincts of a Hollow.
Its instincts were filled with fear!
However.
Its immense size made the Gillian's movements very slow.
Just as it had retreated halfway, Chu Yang had already rushed in front of it.
The Gillian could only unleash its Hollow Flash with all its might.
Once the Hollow Flash reached its peak intensity, a sky full of red light pressed down from above Chu Yang's head!
Chu Yang gripped his sword with both hands and performed an upward slash!
From bottom to top, the brilliant silver light, like a soaring flood dragon, tore through the red light of the Hollow Flash with overwhelming force!
It was like a glowing band of the Milky Way coiling and wrapping around the Gillian's body!
"Roar!!!"
"Ah!!!"
Hundreds of different screams, some human-like, some beast-like, male and female, old and young, came from within the Gillian.
All sorts of sounds intertwined.
Countless people wailing in your ears, sending shivers down your spine.
"What's going on?"
Kisuke Urahara was also startled by the scene before him.
Hollows are either slain or purified, both of which happen in an instant; never before had such a scene of prolonged torment occurred.
Unless it was in Hell...
"What kind of pain would make a Hollow scream like that?"
Rukia was trembling all over, her eyes filled with fear.
If they two were like this, let alone how horrified Kurosaki Ichigo and Uryū Ishida felt.
Having spent most of the semester together, Ichigo now looked at Chu Yang's back, feeling so unfamiliar.
The Gillian was collapsing and disintegrating.
Countless Hollows flew out from its body.
Each Hollow had a band of light wrapped around it; looking out, it was as if the sky was filled with stars.
The Gillian failed to escape back to Hueco Mundo.
Its massive body, like foam blown away by a strong wind, gradually disappeared.
"His attack seems to cause immense pain to spiritual bodies."
The previous wails still seemed to echo in his ears. Kisuke Urahara's expression was solemn; Chu Yang always overturned his perceptions with his actions, again and again.
"What kind of impact will this guy have on the Soul Society in the future?"
Amidst his worries, Kisuke Urahara also had an uncontrollable curiosity about Chu Yang.
He decided to have a good talk with this human.
Late at night, in the early hours of the morning.
Kisuke Urahara proactively sought out Chu Yang.
This time, he knocked before entering.
Chu Yang hadn't even asked his purpose when Kisuke Urahara spoke first.
"Young man, interested in making a deal with me?"
...
"Even after transmigrating, I still couldn't escape the fate of being a wage slave..."
Chu Yang, dressed in a black suit, was holding a cup of coffee and standing on the rooftop of the company building, complaining with a troubled expression: "Haha, I forgot, here it's not called a wage slave, but a corporate drone."
The weather today was very nice, the sun shining warmly on people, but Chu Yang's heart was cold, because he hadn't received his salary for last month, or the month before that.
"Sure enough, you're here again." A deep, weathered voice sounded behind Chu Yang, its tone flat, as if indifferent to everything.
Chu Yang turned around and saw a blond man wearing glasses walking over.
He waved his hand, replying listlessly, "Oh, it's Senior Kento Nanami. You startled me."
Senior Kento Nanami walked up beside Chu Yang and gazed at the bright weather with him, then said, "The weather is so good it's annoying..."
"Hahaha." Chu Yang couldn't help but laugh out loud.
In the entire company, only this person in front of him was somewhat interesting.
Senior Kento Nanami asked, "Since you dislike your current life so much, why don't you just leave?"
Chu Yang stretched, sneering, "Senior, other companies are pretty much the same. It's just jumping from one mud pit into another."
Senior Kento Nanami nodded, "You're right, it's all a pile of crap."
Chu Yang scratched his head, "Senior, you really do like to describe everything as crap."
Senior Kento Nanami said indifferently, "Working is crap, labor is also crap."
Chu Yang asked curiously, "Senior, you seem to hate work even more than I do. So why do you still do this job?"
Senior Kento Nanami said sincerely, "The financial industry is very profitable. I want to earn some money before I turn forty, then live in a country with a low cost of living and sing the praises of life."
Chu Yang commented noncommittally, "That ideal really suits you."
Senior Kento Nanami glanced at Chu Yang, then prepared to leave. Before going downstairs, he finally spoke, "If you're not planning to jump off the building or switch jobs, it's better to get back to work quickly."
With that, he left without looking back.
"A cold-faced but warm-hearted guy. He must have come up here specifically because he was afraid I'd jump."
"Don't worry, I'm not that fragile. This is nothing!"
Chu Yang grinned, stretched, and tossed the paper cup in his hand.
After work.
After everyone had left, Senior Kento Nanami suddenly appeared next to Chu Yang's desk.
Chu Yang was very surprised.
Normally, Senior Kento Nanami would leave immediately after work.
After all, his life motto was no Gaban.
"Yang-kun, I'm planning to resign."
"Don't joke, Senior."
"It's true. Before I go, I want to tell you something: if you can't bear it in the future, just leave. Although the outside world is also crap, at least you can find a crap that looks more agreeable."
"Senior, why so sudden...?"
"Yesterday, I went to the bakery as usual to buy bread. The staff there had a sore shoulder, and I helped her out."
"And then?"
"She thanked me."
Chu Yang looked at Senior Kento Nanami, and after a long silence, he cautiously asked, "Senior Kento Nanami, are you planning to work at a massage parlor?"
Kento Nanami: "..."
"Hmph!" Kento Nanami snorted coldly and turned to leave.
