Chapter 150

"Should I go in, or should you?" Kuchiki Senya asked the Guardian with a calm expression.

"If you are not at ease, we can go in together," the Guardian said indifferently.

Kuchiki Senya narrowed his eyes, then grabbed the Guardian and went in first.

"Wait outside. Report to me immediately if anything happens," Kuchiki Senya ordered Lavini to stand guard outside.

Kuchiki Senya led the Guardian into his dwelling, which was, in plain terms, his nest.

However, the moment they entered, the Guardian began chanting a spell.

By the time Kuchiki Senya tried to stop him, it was already too late; suddenly, scorching air appeared around them and surged directly toward Kuchiki Senya.

"Die together, hahaha¨.!" the Guardian sneered at Kuchiki Senya; he would never compromise, and he would absolutely not entangle himself with a Shinigami!

Yet he still underestimated Kuchiki Senya's power.

"Heaven-Sundering Myriad, Sever!" Kuchiki Senya snorted coldly, and Heaven-Sundering Myriad activated once more.

The surrounding air vanished instantly, as if it had never existed, and that oppressive feeling was gone as well.

"You, what did you do?" the Guardian stared at Kuchiki Senya in terror.

Kuchiki Senya merely looked at him calmly, then said, "I simply devoured these things of yours. Now, I return them to you."

Having spoken, the Heaven-Sundering Myriad hovering in the air now turned directly toward the Guardian.

"Boom!" A tremendous pressure was released from within.

The Guardian's entire hollow body was crushed into fragments; this immense pressure turned him directly into dust. This manner of death was more despairing than ordinary deaths, after all, one could feel their own body being ground to pieces.

After finishing all this, Kuchiki Senya went out and had Lavini follow him inside.

"Search for it; he must have a spiritual seal here. It should be the secret allowing him to control the entire Great Hollow Forest," Kuchiki Senya said to Lavini.

Lavini nodded, then began searching together with Kuchiki Senya.

However, the two searched for a long time but still could not find where these things were; finally, Lavini decided to try a different approach.

"Let me sense it. Although I was not born a hollow here, if there truly is something capable of commanding hollows, I should be able to sense it as well." Having spoken, Lavini began searching from the side.

Several minutes later, Lavini finally opened her eyes.

"I found it! In the basement!" Lavini shouted to Kuchiki Senya.

Kuchiki Senya nodded and immediately led Lavini over to look.

Inside the underground storage room, many things were hidden, including the spiritual seal.

"The spiritual pressure on this spiritual seal… it is definitely a Quincy," Kuchiki Senya said, narrowing his eyes.

As expected, all of this was connected to Yhwach; it seemed that when the time came to deal with Yhwach, there would be a certain degree of difficulty.

After all, Yhwach's ability is Almighty, so dealing with him is indeed somewhat difficult.

"You take control," Kuchiki Senya said, glancing at Lavini.

Lavini froze, then shook her head repeatedly, saying, "No, no, I am not a qualified commander, and I do not know how to control them."

Kuchiki Senya waved his hand and continued, "You just use your power to control them; I will tell you exactly what to do."

Hearing this, Lavini finally nodded.

She injected her spiritual pressure into the spiritual seal, and a wisp of spiritual pressure within actually tried to escape; fortunately, Kuchiki Senya had previously used Shinigami power to seal the entire spiritual seal.

The spiritual pressure that had just tried to escape was likely the alarm mechanism set within the spiritual seal; if Kuchiki Senya had not blocked it, then the owner of the spiritual seal, now thousands of li away, would have known the seal had changed masters.

But now, Kuchiki Senya had completely mastered the spiritual seal.

"¨. How does it feel?" Kuchiki Senya asked Lavini.

Lavini said, "I don't know; there is no special feeling."

"Inject your will and try to control those hollows to go somewhere else," Kuchiki Senya told Lavini.

Lavini nodded, then, following Kuchiki Senya's request, prepared to control the other hollows to feed elsewhere.

Once she confirmed she could truly control them, she was shocked in her heart.

"I really can do it!" Lavini said, staring at Kuchiki Senya in shock.

Kuchiki Senya smiled slightly, then said, "Since you can control them, (Li de de) then come with me; we are going to do something great."

Having spoken, he walked outside.

Lavini did not know what Kuchiki Senya intended to do and hurried to follow.

"Now, go to the outpost of the Thirteen Territories, the Thirteenth Territory. Isn't that where the Picaro groups are? This time, let us see whether the number of Picaros in these groups is greater, or the number of hollows controllable by the Great Hollow Forest is greater!" Kuchiki Senya said with a curled lip.

Lavini finally understood why Kuchiki Senya had insisted on bringing her to this place.

"You are truly clever," Lavini said.

Kuchiki Senya raised an eyebrow; hearing those words from her mouth felt so awkward.

"Let's go. First, check the outpost. If they do not cooperate, then kill!" Kuchiki Senya said coldly.

He then led Lavini away, and the two sped toward the outpost of the Thirteenth Territory.

102, Picaros Appear, Prepare for Battle!

Kuchiki Senya led Lavini into view; Lavini had now completely changed her appearance and was no longer the small Adjuchas who could be slaughtered by anyone before.

Her current strength was noteworthy even among the Arrancar, which was undoubtedly a very powerful assistant for Kuchiki Senya.

"We are already very close," Lavini said to Kuchiki Senya.

Kuchiki Senya nodded, then appeared directly above the enemy territory.

"Hmm? What is that? It seems to be a Shinigami?"

"There is the scent of a Shinigami, but why would a Shinigami come here?"

"Fools, look above your heads; it is a Shinigami!"

A group of low-level hollows panicked at this moment; only then did they notice Kuchiki Senya and the other.

"Which one of you is the leader?" Kuchiki Senya asked the low-level hollows before him.

Upon hearing this, the low-class Hollows exchanged a glance, then immediately chose to make their move.

Shinigami and Hollows are mortal enemies by nature; the conflict between two species cannot be resolved with a single word.

Kuchiki Senya brought Ravini down with him, and these low-class Hollows charged straight at them.

"Boom!" Suddenly, several overwhelming spiritual pressures appeared around Ravini, and every low-class Hollow present dropped to their knees on the spot.

They stared at Ravini in terror — this was a power only a my lord of the Arrancar possessed!

But how could she be mixed up with a Shinigami? What on earth was she doing?

"You — you're an Arrancar? But why are you together with a Shinigami?" one of the Hollows asked at this point.

"I don't need to explain myself to you." Ravini said flatly.

Then she looked at these low-class Hollows and said, "Get lost. Tell your leader to come find me!"

Ravini's words gave these low-class Hollows an excuse to leave.

They fled in panic, and Ravini also breathed a sigh of relief — actually attacking these Hollows, she truly couldn't quite bring herself to do it.

A few minutes later, specks of light like tiny stars flickered into view around them. Once they drew closer, Kuchiki Senya could see clearly that they were a swarm of creatures resembling flying insects.

The Picaro groups were like this — some unknown flying-insect-like things would appear, and some people said their wings were like a dragonfly's.

"So many enemies!" Ravini grew a little tense.

"Don't be afraid — you are now the administrator of the Great Hollow Forest." Kuchiki Senya gave a faint smile, which finally let Ravini relax a little.

Ravini drew a deep breath, then nodded.

After these Picaro groups arrived, they first sized up Ravini, and only then turned their gaze to Kuchiki Senya.

"Shinigami? Why would a Shinigami appear here?" One of the Picaro — an extremely ugly but very bulky creature — stepped forward.

"A rhinoceros beetle?" Kuchiki Senya's expression turned a little odd; these things really did look somewhat like rhinoceros beetles.

"What rhinoceros beetle?" The other party looked at Kuchiki Senya in confusion.

They didn't know what a rhinoceros beetle was, and Kuchiki Senya didn't answer his question either.

"Are you the administrators of the Thirteen Domains?" Kuchiki Senya asked, looking at the rhinoceros beetle before him.

"That's right, but why would a Shinigami like you know about our affairs? Could it be — this traitor?" The rhinoceros beetle looked toward Ravini.

Though Ravini was a little nervous, at this moment she was even more willing to treat Kuchiki Senya as her own backing.

"Of course not." Kuchiki Senya said flatly.

Then he looked at the other party again, and only after that continued, "As for your information, I found out about it myself. And I also know something that none of the other Hollows know — for instance, that you lot were originally just something Baraggan raised on a whim when he was bored."

At these words, the other party's expression changed instantly; they hadn't expected Kuchiki Senya to even know about this.

"How do you know about this?" The rhinoceros beetle frowned at Kuchiki Senya.

This matter was already something from a very long time ago — after all, for them, this kind of thing was in itself already a disgrace.

Moreover, after the new king's arrival, they had already become a special group arranged by the new king.
