Chapter 151: What, Aramaki actually does NTR to their face? 'Hollow

Looks like Lord Aramaki already has a way?!

Bailer Gang watched Aramaki's confident appearance, secretly sighing that he was indeed far inferior to Aramaki, and at the same time asked Aramaki.

Of course~

Upon hearing that, Aramaki showed a confident smile to Bailer Gang. Immediately, Aramaki stopped paying attention to Bailer Gang and instead looked deep into Bailer Gang's palace, where a group of Adjuchas hid.

You few, come over here.

Aramaki lightly waved at those Adjuchas.

You mean us?!

Those Adjuchas, hearing Aramaki's summons, walked out from the dark shadows with endless doubt, slowly approached Aramaki, and asked him.

Yes! It's you……

Upon hearing that, Aramaki lightly nodded.

May I ask, Lord Aramaki, what do you need us for?

These Adjuchas asked Aramaki.

Hum!

Aramaki said nothing more, but released a mass of glazed-colored light before the several dozen Adjuchas before him.

What is this?!

In an instant, the aura of this group of Adjuchas suddenly swelled enormously.

My power has become even stronger?!

Ah! Ah! Ah! Power, endless power, surges from my body!

Now I am incredibly strong! Even if I were to go right now and fight a Vasto Lorde-level Great Hollow, I would have a fighting chance!

The Adjuchas released boundless spiritual pressure from within their bodies; there is no doubt their strength has all increased at this moment.

How? Are you still getting used to your current power?

Just as these Adjuchas were enjoying the continually rising spiritual pressure within them, this exhilarating feeling, Aramaki's voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears.

Honorable Lord Aramaki, we, Bailer Gang's royal guard, originally served the supreme you!

As Aramaki's words fell, those Adjuchas immediately knelt on one knee before him, speaking with utmost respect. These 'Great Hollows' have this trait: in their eyes, whoever brings them tangible benefit, they will serve! Moreover, surprisingly, these 'Great Hollows' lack the dirty motives of the 'Soul Reapers', making them exceptionally loyal.

Go! Go bring back Halibel and Nelliel for me!

With your current power, you will absolutely not be weaker than those two Vasto Lorde-level Great Hollows...

I wait here quietly for you to bring me good news, honor, and victory!

After gaining the loyalty of this group of Adjuchas, Aramaki, acting utterly like a god-man (with an Aizen-like face), spoke to the Adjuchas before him with a calm expression.

As Aizen's teacher, Aramaki had instructed Aizen for about a hundred years; knowing Aizen's daily speech patterns and habits is second nature to him. Given Aramaki's understanding of Aizen, imitating him is not difficult.

We will surely bring Lord Aramaki honor, victory, and those two Vasto Lorde!

Everything in this world shall belong to the great Lord Aramaki...

Upon hearing Aramaki's words, those Adjuchas all bowed their heads respectfully, facing Aramaki, and swore to the sky.

Go!

After hearing the Adjuchas' words, Aramaki showed a confident smile and calmly said two words to the Adjuchas before him.

Yes sir!

As Aramaki's words fell, those Adjuchas instantly vanished from before his eyes.

Hehe~

Aramaki looked at the departing Adjuchas and let out a light chuckle.

Everything now is in his grasp! To be precise, it's in Aizen's guidebook……

According to Aizen, dealing with a girl like Halibel, the hero-rescues-beauty approach is most suitable.

As for dealing with a girl like Nelliel, it's enough to give her a home where she feels sufficiently at ease.

Lord Aramaki, if you intend to capture those two Vasto Lorde, why let these Adjuchas-level cannon fodder act? I will personally intervene—wouldn't that be more secure? Of course, if you allow me to be more violent, regardless of whether those two Vasto Lorde live or die, I might find it easier, perhaps...

After Aramaki issued orders to the Adjuchas before him, Bailer Gang, standing behind him, suddenly spoke up, puzzled. To be honest, old Bail now can't quite grasp Aramaki's intentions……

Old Bail originally thought Aramaki would use a gentle method to subdue those two Vasto Lorde, and that's why he could do nothing against Halibel and Nelliel; if Aramaki allowed him to use violence, he would have already wrung the necks of those two Vasto Lorde—not because old Bail is reckless, but merely because ordinary Vasto Lorde and he differ only in pure strength! Know that in the many years the Hollow Circle has existed, the number of Vasto Lorde-level Great Hollows born has been not a thousand but eight hundred, yet only he, Bailer Gang, has ever sat on the throne.

Well, lately I don't know what's going on—first, that scoundrel Ji Ji Ji Ba suddenly returned to the Hollow Circle, then appeared Lilynette with immeasurable spiritual pressure, even a monster surpassing him, and even Saal Apollo, who willingly serves as his subordinate, has unfathomable power, leaving him somewhat unable to see through.

Sigh……

Am I really getting old, or has the era changed!

Thinking this, Bailer Gang's heart involuntarily sighed.

No need for you to act; Halibel and Nelliel will eventually come under my command.

After hearing Bailer Gang's words, Aramaki spoke lightly.

I understand.

As Aramaki's words fell, Bailer Gang immediately stopped speaking.

……

As for Bailer Gang speaking up, Dieyela, who had also originally intended to volunteer, now also closed his mouth.

Since old Bail has been denied by Aramaki, he had better not join the fun……

Well then, a good show begins now~

Aramaki said, his gaze seemingly looking toward the depths of the distant Hollow Circle.

At the same time……

After Aramaki dispatched these Adjuchas from Xu ye gong, not long passed before they found Halibel's whereabouts.

Huh?!

Helibelle, after all, is a Washi Tuo De-level Great Void; the moment these Aqiu Kas began to approach her, she sensed it, and the Helibelle who had been sitting on the sand suddenly rose from the ground. While staying alert, her eyes kept scanning the surroundings, and at this moment Helibelle was ready for battle at any time.

"Come out! Stop playing tricks..."

Helibelle scanned the surroundings once, found no suspicious enemies, but her sixth sense was booming at that moment! Trusting her feeling, she let out a furious roar toward the pitch‑black desert before her.

"Jie Jie Jie, you are Helibelle, aren't you?!"

"Your alertness is pretty good~"

"No wonder you're the woman that the Lord chose!"

As Helibelle's words fell, the white sand around her churned up like boiling water!

While Helibelle was still startled, one after another Aqiu Kas-level Great Voids burst from the white sand; before Helibelle could think, the tall Aqiu Kas surrounded her, encircling her tightly.

"Who are you..."

Helibelle looked at the surrounding Aqiu Kas, her brows slightly furrowed as spiritual pressure kept gathering.

"Heh, you need not know who we are!"

An Aqiu Ka, after hearing Helibelle's question, sneered disdainfully.

"Helibelle, we ask you one last time!"

"Will you choose to pledge allegiance with us to that Lord?!"

"Helibelle, if you make the same choice, with your Washi Tuo De-level Great Void status you will surely earn the Lord's favor and obtain unimaginable power."

"Alright, Helibelle, make your choice quickly!"

The Aqiu Kas, taking turns, kept questioning Helibelle in front of them.

"That Lord? Bai Le Gang? I refuse!"

Helibelle heard that and outright refused the Aqiu Kas before her.

"You are courting death!"

As Helibelle's words fell, the Aqiu Kas immediately launched an attack on her, countless crimson Void Flashes filling the night sky of this Void Circle.

"Buzz!"

Helibelle, being a Washi Tuo De-level Great Void, faced the sky‑filled Void Flashes without panic, raising her arm and slashing golden strikes at the Aqiu Kas.

"Boom!!"

The next second, when Helibelle's slash collided with the Void Flashes, the explosions rang out and Helibelle's achievement fell upon those Aqiu Kas.

"It's over!"

It seemed as if Helibelle performed an elegant ballet around the massive bodies of those Aqiu Kas-level Great Voids; a few golden rays sliced the sky, and the Aqiu Kas were instantly shattered into countless fragments.

"Huh..."

After Helibelle finished all this, she opened her mouth and slowly exhaled a puff of foul air.

Even though the power of these Aqiu Kas was astonishing and gave her a slight surprise, in the end they were only Aqiu Kas-level and lacked enough strength to threaten Helibelle, who stands at the pinnacle of the Great Void.

Honestly, Helibelle didn't want to kill these Aqiu Kas, but sometimes if you don't kill the other, the other will kill you! That's the rule of this world...

However, Helibelle did not devour the corpses of the Aqiu Kas-level Great Voids she had slain; having already ascended to the pinnacle of the Great Void, even continued consumption of Aqiu Kas would bring her no further power...

Therefore, Helibelle intended to leave directly.

"Whoosh!"

However, just as Helibelle turned her back, the Great Voids she had slain behind her...

Just as she was about to leave, continue wandering the Void Circle and seek her own refuge, a scarlet light suddenly pierced her abdomen...

Instantly, Helibelle's once flat, wheat‑colored glowing abdomen tore open a fist‑sized hole, with fresh red fluid gushing out and staining the white sand.

"What is this?!"

Feeling the pain in her abdomen, Helibelle lowered her head slightly...

Honestly, this happened so suddenly that Helibelle hadn't even had time to prepare or fully react; when she lowered her head and saw the Void Flash‑pierced wound in her abdomen, she widened her eyes in disbelief.

"Who released the Void Flash?"

"Bai Le Gang's subordinates should already have been killed by me..."

Helibelle muttered to herself in a daze.

"Helibelle, are you really sure you've killed us all?!"

Just as Helibelle was puzzling over who had pierced her abdomen, a cold voice suddenly sounded behind her. The voice made Helibelle shiver; if she remembered correctly, one of the Aqiu Kas she had just killed was the source of that voice...

Thinking of this, Helibelle instantly turned her body toward the direction of those Aqiu Kas corpses.

However, when Helibelle turned her head, she saw a terrifying sight: the Aqiu Kas she had killed were all revived, standing before her once again...

"Are you immortal?!"

Helibelle looked at the Aqiu Kas before her and exclaimed.

"Yes, we are indeed immortal!"

The Aqiu Kas, after hearing Helibelle, suddenly smiled and shouted at her. Yes, having received Huangmu's blessing, they have, in a sense, become immortal; as long as they have a spirit seed alive, they can resurrect indefinitely. This is why Huangmu said they have already surpassed Helibelle and Lilinit.

"We said it! From the moment you chose to stand opposite us, you were destined to die at our hands! In this world, no one can defy the Lord's decision..."

The Aqiu Kas said this and launched another attack on Helibelle.

"Tsk..."

Helibelle stared at the seemingly immortal Aqiu Kas, first biting her teeth in silence, then helplessly swinging her arms and charging at those Great Voids.

"Boom!!"

For a moment, Helibelle's battle with those Great Voids raised a thousand layers of waves.

On the other side...

Nili Ailu also encountered Helibelle's situation, but having to protect her two subordinates, Nili Ailu's plight was far more tragic, and she soon bore countless wounds.

"Lord Nili Ailu, please abandon us and run away yourself!"

"Yeah, Lady Ni Lu! Give up on us!"

"The two Hollows that Ni Lu had been constantly protecting kept urging Ni Li Ai Lu, hoping Ni Lu could escape on her own; they did not want the person they were loyal to, because they needed to protect these weak ones, to die before their eyes."

"Hmm..."

"However, Ni Lu, with her emerald‑green long hair, after hearing her subordinates' words, merely shook her head slightly, then she solemnly looked at her two subordinates behind her and said, "I will not abandon you; I will always be with you!""

"Lady Ni Lu..."

"The two Hollows, upon hearing Ni Lu's words, instantly filled their eyes with tears."

"Roar!!"

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"

"Boom!!"

"However, just as Ni Lu turned around, the many Adjuchas seemed to be angered by her disrespectful action, and in unison they opened their mouths; the next second, a sky‑filled scarlet Hollow Flash shot toward Ni Lu."

"Lady Ni Lu, be careful!"

"Ni Lu's two subordinates, upon seeing this, immediately panicked, anxiously looking at Ni Lu and warning her."

"Don't worry!"

"After hearing the words of her two subordinates behind her, Ni Lu merely smiled and comforted the people behind her."

"She then turned around, her gaze fixed on the countless Hollow Flashes ahead……"

"Buzz!"

"Ni Lu extended her hand to face the successive Hollow Flashes."

"Boom!"

"The next second, these Hollow Flashes, as if possessing their own consciousness, stopped on their own in mid‑air."

"Ah……"

"After Ni Lu stopped those Hollow Flashes, she suddenly opened her mouth and, before the assembled Adjuchas, swallowed those countless Hollow Flashes."

"What the hell is going on?!"

"For a moment, the Adjuchas were all stunned; they felt like the elemental mages from next door's Fairy Tail encountering a same‑attribute slayer mage, a bewildered and helpless feeling……"

"Who among the family would understand? This woman in front of them swallowed their Great Hollow's ultimate technique!"

"Ah!!"

"Just as the Adjuchas were in their bewildered moment, Ni Lu suddenly opened her mouth, accompanied by a sky‑covering scarlet light and a pale pink special light, emitting a Hollow Flash stronger than those of the Adjuchas, which shot out toward them."

"What?!"

"In an instant, the Adjuchas all showed looks of terror."

"Boom!"

"Before these Intermediate Great Hollows could think, the terrifying light suddenly exploded before them, completely consuming their silhouettes!"

"Huh……"

"After Ni Lu finished all this, she spat out scorched black smoke from her mouth, and her body staggered slightly, obviously this move had taken a heavy toll on her as well."

"Normally, swallowing a single Hollow Flash from a Great Hollow of the same level is her limit; but because these Great Hollows are lower in rank than she is, she could barely endure, risking everything to swallow all those Hollow Flashes."

"Lady Ni Lu! Are you alright?!"

"Lady Ni Lu, you must never again do such a risky thing—it's not worth it for us at all!"

"That's right, that's right! You are a noble Vasto Lorde, while we are merely ants found everywhere……"

"At this moment, the two Hollows that Ni Lu had been protecting could no longer be described as tear‑streaked; they had decided to spend their lifetime with Ni Lu, no matter what she becomes, they will stay by her side, and even if she dies and unfortunately goes to hell, they would rather go with her!"

"All right, all right, I'm fine, aren't I~"

"You two, say a little less~"

"After hearing her two subordinates' words, Ni Lu spoke with a smiling, narrowed‑eyes tone."

"Oh my! This is truly a deep master‑servant bond~"

"Just as Ni Lu kept comforting her two subordinates, a hoarse voice suddenly sounded from behind her."

"Huh?!"

"Upon hearing that gloomy voice, Ni Lu's expression changed drastically."

"As Ni Lu turned around, the Adjuchas, unharmed, appeared before her, smiling and beckoning with their hands."

"How is that possible!!"

"Before Ni Lu could speak, the two Hollows behind her let out cries of astonishment; they could not believe what they were seeing. That was Lady Ni Lu's Hollow Flash—how could mere Adjuchas possibly block it?!"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"What's there to be surprised about? We are no longer who we used to be!"

"After receiving that adult's blessing, we have become invincible in the world……"

"The Adjuchas, looking at the panicked Ni Lu, continually sneered."

"Looks like we need to waste a little time."

"Ni Lu said, her gaze gradually darkening."

"Yeah! We need to waste a little time to be able to defeat you~"

"The Adjuchas kept sneering, stepping step by step toward Ni Lu."

"Meanwhile……"

"Huangmu was also not idle; after dispatching a group of Adjuchas to attack Ni Li Ai Lu and He Li Bei Er, he went to Saal Apollo's laboratory, preparing to fleece Saal Apollo of its wool."

"Hehe, Lord Huangmu, you've come~"

"At this moment, Saal Apollo was looking at Huangmu with a smile."

"Although Saal Apollo's loyalty to Huangmu would never waver, when Huangmu's gaze fell upon the instruments he used for experiments, he would still feel extremely uneasy."

However, it was fortunate that Huangmu merely glanced at these instruments casually and then moved on……

Eh, he's not Aizen, nor Urahara nor Nemuri, and he simply couldn't make sense of this random junk.

"Hah……"

Just as Sa'er Aboluo let out a breath of relief, Huangmu approached the replica of Sa'er Aboluo lying in the culture dish.

"Eh……"

Sa'er Aboluo stared ahead, his eyes fixed on Huangmu who was staring at his replica, and cold sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.

"Your replica isn't perfect!"

"Rather than saying it's your replica, it's more like another person."

After Huangmu had looked over Sa'er Aboluo's replica from head to toe, he spoke calmly.

"Huh?!"

Upon hearing that, Sa'er Aboluo froze in place.

"Pa~"

Before Sa'er could say more, Huangmu lightly snapped his fingers, and the culture dish in front of Sa'er suddenly shattered, revealing the Sa'er Aboluo replica inside.

"Huh?!"

As soon as the Sa'er Aboluo replica opened its eyes, it saw an identical Sa'er Aboluo and froze on the spot.

"Two of me? No, that's not right……"

"It's not two of me; one of us two is a replica."

That Sa'er Aboluo replica immediately judged the situation before it.

"Who are you?"

Before the replica could say more, Huangmu, looking at the replica of Sa'er before him, immediately asked.

"I am Sa'er Abol……"

That Sa'er's replica subconsciously replied.

"No! You're not Sa'er Aboluo—think again, who exactly are you?"

Huangmu, looking at the Sa'er Aboluo replica before him, continued to ask.

"I'm not Sa'er Aboluo, I am……"

For a moment, Sa'er Aboluo fell into confusion.

"Hum!"

Just as Sa'er's replica was lost in confusion, a bell tone suddenly rang in his ear, bringing him calm and awakening.

"Yes! I'm not Sa'er Aboluo, and I'm completely different from him!"

"I'm neither Sa'er Aboluo·Granz nor Elfert·Granz!"

"I am myself, I am Xi'en Gelanzhi!"

The man who looked exactly like Sa'er suddenly burst into wild laughter, looking at Huangmu and speaking loudly.

"Exactly! You are Xi'en Gelanzhi!"

"At this moment, I bestow upon you your true name, Zhendalou."

After hearing the man's words, Huangmu first gave a faint smile, then his fingertip glowed with a liuli-colored light, which he lightly tapped onto the other's head.

"Thank you, Lord Huangmu, for granting me my true name!"

The man named Xi'en Gelanzhi, while kneeling on one knee before Huangmu, continuously expressed his thanks.

"I see……"

"It turns out to be the older brother's personality, occupying more of my replica's primary persona, huh?!"

"This is truly a huge hassle, and now Lord Huangmu has discovered it."

On the other hand, although Sa'er Aboluo's replica, which he had spent hundreds of years to create, was snatched by Huangmu and given a true name, becoming a member of the Twelve Divine Generals, Sa'er didn't mind, because taking this opportunity he successfully discovered the flaws in his own replica; since the replica had problems, it was only natural to discard it~

"As long as Luojia is here, I can spend a few hundred years' time to make another replica!"

After Sa'er Aboluo pondered a moment, he ceased to care about his own gains and losses.

"What's your name?!"

Just as Sa'er Aboluo was full of confidence in his future, Huangmu's figure suddenly appeared before a being with a human upper body and a spider's lower body, an Ashuka.

Indeed, Xi'en was merely someone Huangmu casually subdued; Huangmu's true target all along has been this Ashuka-level Grand Hollow before him, which resembles a Jorōgumo, named——Luojia Polamiyya!

Although Luojia is merely a lowly Ashuka, Huangmu does not look down on her in the slightest, for in the official novel 《SAFWY》 she has performed the outrageous act of replicating Kurosaki Ichigo's 'Mugetsu'—a Grand Hollow—though Luojia cannot perfectly replicate Ichigo's Mugetsu, its power is only about seventy to eighty percent of the original, yet it is still 'Mugetsu'!

Taking into account the official novel's outrageous replication of 'Mugetsu', it's not an overstatement to say that Luojia is the Grand Hollow with the greatest potential in the Hollow Realm; and if her personality weren't so weak, and she nearly obeyed Sa'er Aboluo's words, she could even compete for the throne of the strongest Grand Hollow~

Sometimes Huangmu muses that if it weren't for that idiot Yami who killed Luojia right at the start, causing her to spend some time reviving and ultimately missing the battle of Kurosaki Ichigo and Aizen and the others, then the story of Kurosaki Ichigo and company bravely invading the Hollow Realm might have been greatly rewritten by the present Luojia—of course this is just idle speculation; as the child of destiny, Ichigo, some things are fated……

However, this also serves as a reminder to Huangmu: even as strong as Aizen, among his subordinates one cannot avoid mixing in some hidden talents like crouching dragons and phoenix chicks, so the Thirteen Court Guard Squads he leads must be cautious and vigilant, ensuring no leaks.

"Me? You're asking me? I, I am Luojia Polamiyya!"

After hearing Huangmu's words, Luojia's gaze kept darting around; she first looked at Sa'er Aboluo, then at Xi'en, and since neither Sa'er nor Xi'en could help her, she ultimately had no choice but to look toward Huangmu, like a small beast that had made a mistake, speaking in an extremely tiny voice.

"Luojia? Nice name~"

"So you want to become my subordinate, Luojia!"

Huangmu first praised Luojia's name, then lightly stroked her head and smiled.

"I……"

Luojia showed a hesitant expression after hearing Huangmu's words.

"Luojia, what are you still thinking about?"

"Since Lord Huangmu needs you, give me your consent right away!"

"At the moment Lord Huangmu needs you, I no longer need you."

Saer AboLuo looked at Luo Jia's hesitant expression and said angrily.

"I understand!"

After hearing Saer's words, Luo Jia finally realized that she was no longer needed.

So Luo Jia looked at Huangmu and said, "I am willing to serve you, sir!"

Since Saer AboLuo no longer needs her, she will continue onward to find someone who does.

"Good child~"

Huangmu smiled faintly after hearing Luo Jia.

Then he reached out and gently stroked Luo Jia's head…

"From today onward, you are also one of the Twelve Divine Generals under my command!"

"I bestow upon you a true name—Andi Luo!"

As Huangmu spoke, his fingertips glimmered with a faint light and gently pressed against Luo Jia's head, granting her great power. At that moment, as his hand touched her head, she seemed to glimpse the supreme Holy King…

"Finally found someone who truly needs me."

The instant Luo Jia saw the Holy King, her attachment to Saer AboLuo vanished without a trace.

"..."

Saer AboLuo silently watched all that lay before him.

"Heh, Luo Jia is just a stubborn stone; when I need her, she can simply help me!"

"When I don't need her, just toss her aside at will…"

"But why do I always feel something's off?!"

Saer AboLuo furrowed his brows; he couldn't explain why he felt as if Huangmu had betrayed him on the spot.

What is this? Could it be the so‑called 'husband‑before‑eyes offender'?!

"Then, next…"

As Huangmu watched the moment when he had nearly stripped Saer AboLuo of his wool, his gaze suddenly turned toward the distant depths of the Void Circle, where the battlefield of Heli Bei Er and Ni Li Ai Lu lay.

At this moment, both Heli Bei Er and Ni Li Ai Lu, after slaying these Aqiu Kass dozens of times, were at their limits; especially Ni Lu, who, while battling the Aqiu Kass, also had to protect his two subordinates, and was on the brink of death. So now was his time to appear.

On the battlefield…

"It's over!"

The invincible Ni Lu finally fell, and the Aqiu Kass, looking at the Wa Shi Tuo De they had surrounded, showed a cold sneer.

As long as Master Huangmu is present, even Wa Shi Tuo De, they will kill for you to witness!

"Lord Ni Lu!!"

And Ni Lu's two subordinates, at this moment, were using their bodies to protect their beloved lord Ni Lu.

"Sorry, I couldn't protect you."

"We are all going to die here…"

Until this final moment, Ni Lu still felt dejected and sorrowful for failing to protect his subordinates.

"Lord Ni Lu, what are you saying?!"

"We will strive to protect you! Even at the cost of our lives!"

Upon hearing this, Ni Lu's two subordinates immediately retorted.

"Ni Lu, you are truly foolish; if it weren't for your subordinates, why would you be defeated by us so quickly?"

"With your strength, escaping should be easy!"

"Your two subordinates are also foolish; Ni Lu's defeat is precisely because you are too weak, you didn't know to leave, causing Ni Lu a great retreat…"

"Hehehe! You idiots, go die together!"

As for the Aqiu Kass, they first mocked Ni Lu and his two subordinates, then opened their mouths maliciously, with crimson void flashes constantly gathering inside them!

"We're doomed!"

Ni Lu's two subordinates, after hearing the Aqiu Kass, hung their heads in dejection; they knew the Great Void's words were correct—they had hindered Ni Lu, and if Ni Lu hadn't been protecting them, escaping would have been no problem.

At the same time they knew that as these void flashes fell, they would soon die here, and a flood of regret, unwillingness, despair, fear, world‑weariness, and hatred toward the Great Void sprouted within them.

"In the next life we will still be together!"

At the moment his two subordinates were giving up, the collapsed Ni Lu reached out to them, gripping the weak void forms before him tightly, and comforted them.

"Lord Ni Lu…"

"In the next life we will still serve you!"

The two voids were so moved they were unrecognizable; they swore to serve Lord Ni Lu in the next life, though they did not know whether they would have a next life at all.

"Boom!"

At the instant Ni Lu and his subordinates' hearts were linked, volley after volley of void flashes surged toward Ni Lu; at that critical moment, Ni Lu hurled his two subordinates into the sky, sending them far away while smiling and shielding himself from the flashes.

"Run!"

At this moment, Ni Lu had only one thought for his two subordinates: that they survive.

"Lord Ni Lu!!"

In the sky, Ni Lu's two subordinates no longer knew how to express their feelings; until the very end, Ni Lu still chose to protect them.

"Am I dead?!"

As Ni Lu closed his eyes and opened his arms, bearing the countless void flashes for his subordinates, the imagined pain of being pierced never arrived; instead came warmth and a faint sense of safety.

"Hm?!"

Ni Lu suddenly sensed something amiss, instinctively opened his eyes and looked ahead.

He saw the once ferocious, claw‑wielding Aqiu Kass now frozen in place.

In front of the Aqiu Kass stood a man with short dark‑brown hair, clad in black death‑dominion armor over a white feathered cloak, smiling and handsome.

The man looked at the wide-eyed Ni Lu, gently extended his left hand, and asked: "Do you need my help?!"

"Hmm."

Ni Lu also didn't know why, she subconsciously nodded as if possessed.

"Boom!"

Just then, the next second after Ni Lu nodded, accompanied by a celestial light falling like heavenly thunder, the multitude of Adjuchas were instantly dissolved into countless spirit particles by that light, and then the power symbolizing 'annihilation' suddenly surged toward those spirit particles, shattering them, causing them to completely vanish between heaven and earth.

"Are you a god?"

Ni Lu stared dumbfounded at the man who had wiped out all the Adjuchas, she remained silent for a long time, then asked the man.

"I am the one who will eventually surpass God~"

In response, the man smiled and corrected Ni Lu.

"What is your name?"

Before Ni Lu could speak, the man stepped forward and asked her.

"My name is Ni Li Ai Lu·Du·Ou De Xiu Fan Ke!"

Upon hearing that, Ni Lu instinctively replied.

"Then dear little Ni Lu, are you willing to follow me?"

Upon hearing that, the man naturally asked Ni Lu.

"I am willing!"

Ni Lu almost didn't even think, she directly replied.

"Excellent! Then from today onward, I bestow upon you your true name—Eniluo!"

Huangmu said, bestowing his power upon Ni Lu.

In just an instant, Ni Lu found her body directly restored.

"Miraculous power."

While Ni Lu felt the power bestowed upon her by Huangmu, she kept murmuring something.

However, whatever Ni Lu was thinking about, it was not important to Huangmu...

The crucial point is that, since Araki, a full eight divine generals have been assembled.

Huangmu looked toward the direction where Helibeier was.

Araki looked toward the direction where Helibell stood.

In just a moment, Huangmu's figure vanished before Ni Lu's eyes. And Ni Lu said nothing more; at the same time Huangmu bestowed power upon Ni Lu, he had already conveyed the information Ni Lu needed to her!

In an instant, Araki's silhouette vanished before Nilu. Nilu said nothing, and while Araki granted her power, he had already told Nilu the information Nilu needed!

Just like Ni Li Ai Lu·Du·Ou De Xiu Fan Ke's situation, Helibeier's side was no better off than Ni Lu's; although Helibeier did not need to protect her subordinates because she had not yet encountered the 'Three Divine Beasts,' the Grand Hollow she faced was far more numerous than what Ni Lu had to face.

Like Nili Ailu's situation, Helibell's side is no better off than Nilu's; although Helibell does not need to protect her subordinates because she has not yet encountered the Three Divine Beasts, the Great Void she must contend with is far greater than what Nilu has to face.

Accompanied by a deafening roar, Helibeier finally collapsed; the fallen Helibeier was engulfed by endless despair and helplessness, unable to comprehend why these Adjuchas had obtained such immense power.

Accompanied by a booming roar, Helibell finally fell. The fallen Helibell was enveloped only by endless despair and helplessness; she could not comprehend why those Aqiu Cas had obtained such overwhelming power.

The multitude of Adjuchas, seeing the fallen Helibeier, burst into wild laughter.

"You've done well, then farewell!"

However, before they could say more, a voice suddenly echoed in their hearts—Huangmu's.

However, before they could speak further, Araki's voice suddenly rang in their minds.

In the next second, these Adjuchas, bewildered, dissipated between heaven and earth.

Helibeier looked at the dissipating Adjuchas, puzzled, and raised her head.

"Sorry, I granted them immortal power, but I did not grant them the mind to control that power."

Huangmu descended from the sky, landing before Helibeier, his expression revealing a hint of sorrow, a hint of helplessness, and a hint of pity, as Huangmu continued to perform with all his might.

Araki descended from the sky, landing before Helibell, his expression showing a touch of sorrow, a hint of helplessness, and a bit of pity; Araki continued to perform with all his might.

Helibeier looked at the man before her and asked, puzzled.

"If you don't want to cause sacrifice, you must seek power."

"If the power you seek is your ideal, then I can give you the power you desire……"

Huangmu offered no explanation, but simply continued speaking on his own.

Araki gave no explanation, but spoke on his own accord.

Helibeier fell into contemplation.

"...... Wanting greater power, huh!"

Think of yourself—if you obtained greater power, you would no longer have meaningless sacrifices; today's situation will become utterly excessive, never to happen again to you—this must be your ideal, right?!

"Think of yourself: if you were to gain even greater power, there would be no more meaningless sacrifices. Today's situation will become completely… it will not happen to you again. That should be your ideal, right?!"

"Don't you want to see what your ideal looks like?"

As Huangmu said this, a hint of a smile appeared on his face.

And Helibeier's gaze also underwent a certain change.

"Come with me! I will take you to the ideal land you long for……"

"I will never force you to make a sacrifice like today's."

Huangmu looked at Helibeier's changed gaze and continued.

Araki looked at Helibell, whose eyes had changed, and continued.

Upon hearing this, Helibeier finally hesitated no longer; she knelt on one knee before Huangmu and pledged her allegiance.

"Hehe…… Huangmu looked at Helibeier, who had pledged her allegiance, and thought to himself: 'As expected of my beloved disciple Lanran, she easily accomplished what I, as her master, did not know how to do!'"

"Heh..." Huangmu looked at Heribel, who was offering his loyalty, and thought silently: "Not bad, my beloved disciple Lanran, you easily accomplished what I, as teacher, didn't know how to handle!"

Yes, the words Araki just said to Heribel also came from Araki's beloved disciple, Sosuke Aizen...

Yes, the words that Aramaki just said to Heriber were also from Aramaki's beloved disciple, Aizen Sousuke……

Thus, Araki finally subdued his ninth divine general and bestowed upon him the name—Payiro!

Thus, Aramaki finally subdued his ninth divine general and bestowed upon him the name—Bo Yi Luo!

Currently, the only divine generals Araki still lacks are the final three.

Currently, the divine generals that Aramaki is lacking are only the last three.

Among the final three, Araki has some thoughts about one of them, but that individual is currently not in the Hollow Circle.

One of these last three, Aramaki has some ideas about, but that person is currently not in the 'Hollow Circle'.

Yes, Araki has finished his business in the Hollow Circle and is returning to the Soul Society.

Yes, Aramaki has finished his business in the 'Hollow Circle'; he is returning to the 'Tranquil Spirit Court'.

At the same time, Araki ought to properly thank his fine disciple, Sosuke Aizen.

At the same time, Aramaki ought to properly thank his good disciple, Aizen Sousuke.

After all, Aizen is the greatest contributor.

After all, Aizen is the greatest contributor.

Many years later, after the truth finally came to light, Aizen looked at his beloved teacher and said helplessly: "So all of your strategies were mine, all of your subordinates were people I spent time cultivating, and this black, hard pot was also entirely on my back. In the end, aside from the empty title of Captain-Commander of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads, I gained nothing at all!"

Many years later, after the truth finally came to light, Aizen looked at his beloved teacher and spoke helplessly: "So all of your strategies were devised by me, all of these subordinates of yours were also cultivated by me spending time, and this black and hard pot was also borne by me; in the end, aside from the empty title of captain of the Guard Court Thirteen Squads, I gained nothing at all?!"

"You truly are worthy of being my beloved master!"

"You truly live up to being my beloved teacher, sir!"

Aizen greeted Araki sincerely from the heart.

Aizen greeted Aramaki sincerely from the heart.

"Otherwise, I would be your teacher?"

"Otherwise, I would be your teacher, wouldn't I?"

"Sosuke, you're still too young and too impatient~"

"Sousuke~ you~ are still too young, too impatient~"

"Sosuke, there are still many, many things you need to learn from me..."

"Sousuke, there are still many, many things you need to learn from me as your teacher……"

In response, Araki merely gave his beloved disciple a faint smile.

In response, Aramaki merely gave his beloved disciple a light smile.
