Originally, he was just trying it out, and even if it failed, at most, Amagai Shūsuke would die, which was no big deal.
After all, the Bakuyoto, which was most important to Yekawa, was already in his hands, and without Amagai Shūsuke, he could recruit others to be his tool-wielding subordinates in the future.
But unexpectedly, after his chaotic operations, this Hollowfication experiment actually succeeded.
"As expected of Aizen's product, it's definitely a masterpiece!"
"Roar!"
Amagai Shūsuke, who had lost his mind after Hollowfication, charged at Yekawa like a madman, raising his sword and slashing wildly forward.
At this moment, he had lost all his composure, like an out-of-control beast, frantically baring his fangs at Yekawa.
"His spiritual pressure, speed, and even strength have all increased to a certain extent, but he has lost his most important sanity, leaving only the instincts of a beast…"
Facing Amagai Shūsuke's continuous slashes, Yekawa did not draw his sword, but merely used his hand as a blade to block his attacks.
With his current Squad Captain strength, even if he Hollowfied, he would be no match for Yekawa in a single move.
Therefore, Yekawa only casually dealt with him, and the Hollowfied Amagai was unable to parry.
His right hand, wreathed in dark golden lightning, plunged into his left shoulder like a steel knife.
"Roar!"
Amagai Shūsuke, after being injured by Yekawa, seemed to become even more irritable, roaring madly at Yekawa.
Yekawa looked at Amagai's left shoulder, which was pierced and bleeding profusely, and shook his head in disappointment.
"He doesn't even have Speed Regeneration?"
It seems that although this Hollowfication was successful, its power was not comparable to Kurosaki ichigo's Hollow White, and probably not even Tosen's Hollowfication.
At most, it was on par with the Visoreds.
After teasing the irrational Amagai Shūsuke for a while, Yekawa lost interest.
"Clack!"
With a snap of Yekawa's fingers, the lightning ball that was originally hidden inside Amagai Shūsuke's body seeped out threads of lightning, electrocuting the raging Amagai in place, rendering him unable to move.
Yekawa stepped forward and flicked his finger, directly shattering the mask on his face.
Immediately, the mask on the face of the originally crazed Hollowfied Amagai, as well as the fiery red spikes on his limbs, vanished in an instant, and the Hollow hole in his chest also disappeared in a flash.
"Bang"
Amagai Shūsuke, who had returned to his human form, collapsed to the ground from exhaustion.
It wasn't until half a day later that he slowly regained consciousness.
However, as soon as he woke up, he saw a blade shaped like a steel fork flying towards him. Amagai Shūsuke quickly reached out and caught it.
"I'll temporarily return this Bakuyoto to you. You should cultivate well here. To become my qualified subordinate, you must at least possess Squad Captain strength!"
As he spoke, Yekawa had already disappeared from his original spot.
Only Amagai Shūsuke, in his tattered clothes, remained kneeling on the ground, stunned. He looked at the Bakuyoto that he had lost and regained, and then recalled the surging power he felt during his Hollowfication.
"Hollowfication, huh!"
At this moment, Amagai Shūsuke's eyes were bright and his expression was invigorated. He knew that Lord Yekawa had not lied to him; he had truly bestowed upon him power that transcended the limits of the Shinigami!
"Hahahaha!"
"With the blessing of this power, I will definitely be able to…"
"Definitely be able to…"
…
On the outermost edge of the Hueco Mundo desert, Yekawa casually drew a line, opening the Hueco Mundo. Ito Makoto glanced at his main body, then leaped high and jumped into it.
Yekawa's Shinigami clone originally had the opportunity to come to Hueco Mundo by taking on a Human World Garrison mission. He had now been in Hueco Mundo for almost a month.
Now that Harribel had been successfully subdued, and the Bakuyoto had been found, and even Yekawa's Arrancar path had progressed somewhat, this trip for the clone could be said to be a complete success, and it was naturally time to return to the Human World.
Although the spiritual messenger machine did not show any abnormalities, indicating that the Soul Society had not discovered his unauthorized departure to Hueco Mundo, he could not be too arrogant. After all, his Garrison period was only three months, and he had already been in Hueco Mundo for one month.
After sending off his Shinigami clone, Yekawa once again embarked on his recruitment journey.
…
Night fell, and the pale moonlight illuminated the earth. The lonely jungle, bathed in the moonlight, resembled countless intertwined eerie shadows, looking from afar like an entrance to the Nine Nether Hell, ready to devour people.
Deep within this dense forest, there were actually small hills piled up from countless Hollow corpses.
This scene truly embodied what it meant for corpses to pile up into mountains!
Beneath these piles of corpses, two naked figures sat cross-legged, remaining silent and appearing quite lonely.
One of them was a tall male with short, slightly curly dark brown hair, lake-blue eyes, and a slight beard on his chin, looking somewhat like a harmless uncle.
However, unlike ordinary people, he had a broken mask resembling a necklace on his jawbone, and a perfectly round Hollow hole on his chest.
The other figure was a small girl with light blue short hair. There was also a purple flame-like pattern around her left eye, and a broken horn mask on her head covered half of her face.
Clearly, both of them were Arrancar.
Under the moonlight, a figure appeared: a Menos Grande, completely black and covered in centipede-like armor. It strode into the area, its rustling footsteps breaking the silence.
The newcomer was none other than Yekawa.
After parting ways with Amagai Shūsuke, by chance, Yekawa finally arrived here. Combining the terrifying spiritual pressure emanating from this place with the scene of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
"No wonder there isn't a single Hollow within a hundred miles of this place. So that's why!"
The two figures were the original Thirteenth Espada — Coyote Starrk and his subordinate, Lilinette.
Coyote Starrk was the first existence in Hueco Mundo to become an Arrancar on his own. Weak Hollows approaching him would be crushed to death by his powerful spiritual pressure, so he had always been searching for companions who could walk alongside him.
Lilinette was the second Arrancar created when Starrk, feeling overly lonely, split his own soul. Their souls were connected, but they possessed different consciousnesses.
In Yekawa's view, this method of splitting the soul was too crude and would severely reduce one's combat power, far inferior to his own clone ability.
"Don't you two get bored just sitting there all the time?"
Yekawa spoke as he walked over and sat next to Starrk, meeting his gaze.
"You… actually… are fine?"
Coyote Starrk was slightly surprised to see that Yekawa could get so close to him without being harmed by his spiritual pressure.
Starrk slowly began to speak. Clearly, he hadn't spoken for too long, causing his speech to be very slow, and even his pronunciation was a bit off.
Upon hearing Starrk's words, Yekawa immediately unleashed a powerful spiritual pressure, causing the surrounding piles of corpses to tremble continuously, while Lilinette, beside Starrk, let out a gasp of surprise.
Clearly, Yekawa's immense spiritual pressure had startled her.
It wasn't until Starrk placed his hand on her shoulder that Lilinette recovered.
"I… misjudged! So you are also a Vasto Lorde… and it seems you have also embarked on the path of an Arrancar!"
Immediately, Starrk's expression changed, and his spiritual pressure erupted, pressing down on Yekawa.
Yekawa, fearless, continued to unleash his spiritual pressure to counter it.
