Chapter 159: Broken Mask and Disappearance

Virtual activity increased.

But under the surveillance of Division 12, it was just an inconspicuous brief peak on a curve.

Just like the "tide", it goes down and rises.

It just happened to happen at this time.

Naruto was worried and took a look.

After Nirvana's explanation, it was indeed not abnormal, and the "special power of death" that was focused on had never appeared before.

Xu's activeness seems not to be directly related to Aizen's experiment.

"Although Xu is not smart enough, he still has a brain." Nirvana's eyes were cold and his tone was cold. He tilted his head and stared at the team members in the imaging hall. "Even some Xu's brains are better than the stupid Shinigami."

"If anything happens to Hueco Mundo."

"They'll run away too."

"For example, the Great Void, and even those guys above the Great Void, died, and new ecological niches were vacated."

"The weak Xu must flee to avoid being swallowed up."

Nirvana means something.

Naruto nodded, thoughtfully.

A creature above the "Great Void"?

In the Soul Society textbook, there is an introduction to the "Great Hollow", but after all, it is only knowledge for ordinary Shinigami.

Basic but not complete.

"Daxu" is actually divided into three levels.

The "Daxu" that Naruto had encountered before, the type recorded in the textbook, was the lowest level Daxu named "Killian", a "miscellaneous soldier"-like existence.

There are a lot of them and they look almost the same.

Daxu that can be known and encountered by ordinary Shinigami are usually of this type.

Above that, there is an intermediate Daxu named "Yachukas".

Compared with "Killians", this type of virtual form is smaller and has more human characteristics. They are responsible for commanding many "Killians", just like a captain commands many team members.

but

"Yachukas" is not the end of the Great Void either.

It is said that there is also a top-ranking Daxu named "Vastod". Their number is very small, and only a few have been discovered and recorded.

However, "Yachukas" and "Vastod" are only active in Hueco Mundo, and ordinary human souls will not be of any benefit to them.

Naruto has never met them either.

Is Aizen experimenting on these guys?

"Hueco Mundo can't monitor it?" Naruto thought for a while and asked.

Nie Yuli operated twice on the workbench, called up several monitors, and zoomed in on the screen.

Looking around, the yellow sand is rolling.

Occasionally, a few virtual ones will jump by, leaving blurry traces on the screen.

"That's all." Nie Yuli's face was expressionless, his hands were still operating, and he zoomed in on the camera. "I checked it when the fluctuations appeared."

"Nothing."

Naruto frowned.

This...is Hueco Mundo?

It was more deserted and dilapidated than he imagined.

"Seireitei's monitoring of Hueco Mundo is very low." Niryuri introduced, "Only these monitoring equipment are placed in Hueco Mundo."

"Do you want to see the records in the past ten years?"

Naruto shook his head: "No, I'm afraid I won't find anything."

Nie Shuli glanced at the team member, waved, and led him out of the imaging hall to another room.

The barrier unfolded, completely isolating this place.

"Thanks to the power of the Daxu you sent before." Nie Shuli said in a low voice, "Let me guess what that guy wants to do."

Naruto wondered.

"Have Captain Uzumaki heard of 'Arrancar'?" Nirvana asked.

Naruto shook his head.

"This is something that only Daxu above 'Killian' can do." Nirvana introduced, "They will try to take off the mask on their faces."

Naruto was stunned: "Take off the mask?"

"That thing is important to Xu, right?"

The "textbook" mentions that masks are a symbol of hiding one's identity and degenerating into evil.

When Hirako Mako and others were "virtually transformed", the first characteristic that appeared on them was the mask.

It can be seen from their examples that "mask" and "virtual power" are closely related.

"Of course it's important." Nirvana nodded, "But does Captain Naruto know how 'Yachukas' was born?"

Naruto shook his head again.

Nirvana clapped her hands: "Ordinary 'Killian' is a chaotic creature born from the mixing of hundreds of powerful Hollows."

"But when there is a consciousness that is strong enough and can dominate, swallowing up all the other empty consciousnesses and integrating those chaotic forces, then 'Killian' will evolve into 'Yachukas'."

Naruto suddenly realized: "So 'Yachukas' is a new individual?"

"Yes, that's it. Since we have become a new individual, the past of one of the souls is no longer important." Nirvana nodded and continued speaking like a stick, "They have to break the mask on their faces, Find a new meaning for yourself.”

At this point, he paused and lengthened his tone.

"but--"

"This is what the idiots of the past came up with."

"For the meaning of survival, it's a ridiculous statement."

"I really want to open their brains and see what filth is inside."

Nie Shuli grinned: "I secretly retrieved records from the past thousand years and even some secret files from hundreds of years ago to confirm one thing."

"The Arrancar is actually a means for Kyon to try to evolve."

"The power they hold in this behavior."

"It's the 'power of death'."

"In those records, the power fluctuations of all the 'Arrancar' are exactly the same as the 'alien power of death' in the big hollow you sent before."

Naruto frowned and made a brief summary: "Arrancar is a hollow trying to transform into a death god on its own?"

Kuturo Mayuri chuckled and nodded.

"But." Naruto continued, "No one has discovered this for so long."

"Until you-"

Kuturo Mayuri interrupted him: "Captain Uzumaki, I'm different!"

"I'm a genius."

"Not those incompetent idiots, fools, and idiots."

"Of course, this may be related to the fact that the evolution speed of the group of 'Arrancar' is too slow, and no perfect Arrancar has appeared so far."

"But trash is trash."

Naruto frowned even more: "There is no perfect Arrancar."

"Aizen is trying to Arrancar."

"Does he want to control Hueco Mundo?"

He half-believed and half-doubted this guess.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi whistled, and said with certainty, "What a great idea."

"Death god, rule the Hueco Mundo."

Naruto glanced at him.

"As a scientist, I am just amazed by an ingenious idea, that's all." Mayuri Kurotsuchi chuckled and spread his hands, "Don't you think this is interesting?"

"The Hollow's transformation into a Death god"

"The Hollow's transformation into a Death god"

"Two opposing and contradictory forces can be woven together to promote a better evolution."

Naruto looked coldly.

"Don't show that expression." Mayuri Kurotsuchi shook his head and shut up very tactfully, "It's impossible for me to go along with that kind of person."

"I don't have the ability to stand opposite the Soul Society."

"I'll die."

He stuck out his tongue and made a bad and frivolous face.

Naruto sneered.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi wanted to say something else, but a sharp and rapid buzzing sound suddenly surged in his arms.

He reached out and took it out, and it was a flesh worm with a human face and no eyes that screamed.

"Your aesthetic is really weird." Naruto frowned.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri sneered: "This is very interesting."

"What a great shape. Captain Uzumaki can't feel this kind of beauty. How much happiness will be lost in life."

He lifted the meatworm and shook it by its tail. Its cry became more and more urgent: "Bad news."

"That 'hollow power of the god of death' has appeared."

Naruto frowned.

"In the real world." Kurotsuchi Mayuri turned the meatworm over, and a coordinate was recorded on it. "Let me see. It's a very remote area."

Naruto whispered: "I'll go there now."

"Thank you, Captain Uzumaki." Kurotsuchi Mayuri couldn't wait to say this thank you almost the moment Naruto opened his mouth.

In the real world, a remote mountainous area.

Thirteenth Division, advance investigation team, only three people are still standing at this time.

A female god of death looked at the knife in her hand in disbelief. Just like the "Senbonzakura" of Vice Captain Byakuya Kuchiki, the blade withered and scattered piece by piece.

But.

This is not the ability of her knife.

In front of them, there was a Hollow with a strange body.

It had a frog-like body, but its head was like a squid that grew backwards, with dozens of tentacles wriggling.

"Hehe." It grinned and laughed, its voice sharp and high, "You didn't expect it."

"This is an ability that can only be used once a day at night."

"The first person who touches my arm that night will have his Zanpakutō disappear."

"Just like you."

"Since I was born, I have this ability that is completely different from other Hollows."

"I never had the chance to use it when I was hunting other Shinigami before."

"Now it seems really great!"

"So."

"I was born to hunt Shinigami!"

The victory made it proud and also stimulated its cruel nature. Compared with devouring Shinigami, stimulating these people and feeling the despair and fear that gushed out of their bodies was more delicious.

The female Shinigami gritted her teeth and raised her hand.

"Hadao Twelve, Fuhuo".

Abandoning the chant.

The orange thread-bound spiritual pressure went to capture the Hollow.

But it dodged it nimbly.

"Sure enough, after losing the Zanpakutō, even the most powerful Shinigami will become extremely weak." It laughed even more viciously, "Today's dinner, let's start with you."

Six claws kicked hard.

It pounced on the female Shinigami.

Despair lingered in her heart, but she did not give up completely, and still fought back with ghost arts, but it was almost ineffective.

The hollow grinned and was about to bite her neck.

A golden light shot from the sky.

It pierced the body of the hollow and easily nailed it to the ground.

The huge spiritual pressure was like a landslide, pressing down fiercely.

It huddled on the ground, unable to move.

"It just has some special abilities." It raised its head with difficulty, and saw a white haori, stepping on the sky, slowly walking down, with a cold voice, and every word made the spiritual pressure burden on its body heavier, "You dare to claim to hunt Shinigami."

It was panicked.

Just the breath, it almost destroyed it.

(There is still one chapter!)
