Chapter 201 "The Great Void"

The battle was over in an instant.

When the thunder that cut through the sky appeared in mid-air and blew the giant Hollows into pieces on the spot, Abarai Renji, Kira Izuru, Hinamori Momo and Hisagi Shuhei who were present didn't even know what was happening. They were just frightened by the sudden loud noise and fell to the ground, and their whole bodies were pressed to the ground by the blast.

When the blast died down, only one person was left standing.

That was Aize who stretched out his hand towards the sky.

"------"

Everyone watched all this and was speechless for a long time.

ended?
Is this the end?
So many powerful Voids were eliminated in the blink of an eye?
Everyone accepted these messages in their heads, but refused to understand them in their hearts.

There is no way, everything happening before my eyes is just too extraordinary.

A first-year student who had just enrolled in the Shinō Spiritual Academy and studied for only half a year actually defeated a group of giant Hollows, each of which required the intervention of a chief officer-level Shinigami, in the blink of an eye?

When they thought of this, everyone was slow to react. They just lay there in a daze, without making any movement for a long time.

It was not until Aize withdrew his hand and the spiritual pressure on his body gradually subsided that everyone finally moved.

"it's over?"

Abarai Renji has not yet accepted this reality.

"Is this the end?"

Hisagi Shuhei and Kira Izuru had similar reactions and were not sure about this matter.

This may be a good thing.

"End?" Aize glanced at everyone, then looked in one direction and said, "No, it's still early."

Aize's words startled everyone, and they followed his gaze and looked in the same direction.

That was the place that was originally filled with giant virtual beings.

The place that was completely covered by a group of voids that were larger than the buildings has now become empty.

But right there, behind the empty area, there was a figure standing.

The figure was inconspicuous, at least compared with the previous giant virtual beings.

Its body is much smaller than those giant hollows. There is a hole in its chest and a mask on its face, proving that it is also a hollow.

However, it did not make hollow noises like the giant voids just now. Instead, it stood there quietly, exuding a chilling sense of silence.

Its appearance is also very strange. Its torso is like a human, its head is like an animal, its feet are webbed, and its hands hang naturally. One hand looks like a fish fin, and the other hand looks like a tail. It makes people feel very uncomfortable, unnatural, and uncoordinated when they see it.

It was wearing armor that was in the shape of an animal, and the mask on its face had no eyes, so it was impossible to see what its current expression was like.

Looking at this virtual being, Aize narrowed his eyes slightly, and the expressions of the others suddenly changed.

Especially Hisagi Shuhei, an irresistible crazy guess was rising in his heart.

"Then, could it be a Hollow...?!"

His face suddenly turned pale.

"Da Xu..."

The same is true for Abarai Renji and others.

Great emptiness.

This is to stand out from the ordinary void and enter another level of existence.

They are higher-level Hollows, dangerous beings that cannot be purified by ordinary Death Gods.

If a Void constantly devours other people or even the souls of Voids, and constantly increases its own strength and size, it may evolve into a Great Void.

There are three levels of Daxu.

The first level is called Killian. He is a lower-level Hollow with a huge black cloak-like body and a white long-nosed mask. His strength is much stronger than that of ordinary Hollows, but his movements are very slow, and his IQ is similar to that of a beast.

This kind of lower-level Hollow is usually formed by a particularly strong Hollow devouring hundreds of ordinary Hollows. Although it has weaknesses such as slow movements and low intelligence, it is not something that ordinary Death Gods can deal with.

Generally speaking, a Gillian-level Hollow requires a Shinigami who can master the Shikai to deal with it. Even if it is a Sea Officer, if he does not release the True Name of his Zanpakutō, he usually cannot deal with it.

The second level is called Yachukas, which is the further evolution of the Killian-level Hollow formed by the fusion of hundreds of Hollows. It has a higher IQ, is covered with armor that is close to the shape of an animal, and its movements are no longer slow. Its combat power is several times that of Killian, making it a mid-level Hollow.

Killian generally do not have individual consciousness and act purely on instinct. However, if among the hundreds of fused Hollows there is one whose individual consciousness and strength are far higher than the others, then this Killian may have individual consciousness. This kind of Killian continues to strengthen itself by devouring Killians of the same level and can eventually evolve into Achukas.

Yachukas is much more powerful than Killian, and no ordinary officer can deal with him. Only a deputy captain-level figure can take him down. But it is only a possibility, and victory is not certain.

The third level is called Vastod, which is a superior Hollow that is several times smaller than other Hollows. Its size is similar to that of a human, but it possesses the strongest abilities.

Once an Achukas-class Hollow is bitten by a higher-level Hollow, it will permanently stop evolving, or even be devoured and become the latter's power. However, if an Achukas-class Hollow has never been bitten by other Hollows, then it may have two possible endings.

One is that one day the power will reach a bottleneck and it will no longer be able to continue to strengthen, let alone evolve, and will always be Achukas. The other is that it has the potential to break through the bottleneck and strengthen itself by constantly devouring other Hollows until its power rises to a new height.

The latter is to become Vastrod, the highest level of Hollow and also the most superior Great Hollow.

The strength of a Hollow at the Vastode level is even higher than that of a captain, and therefore their number is extremely rare, even rarer than the captains of the Gotei 13. There are usually only single digits of them, and sometimes there are only two or three.

If more than ten Vastod-class Hollows appeared, they would be enough to destroy Soul Society.

Killian, Achukas, Vastod...these three levels of Hollows are the so-called Great Hollows.

The large group of giant Voids just now cannot be considered as Great Voids. They are just Voids that are stronger than ordinary Voids, and have not yet reached the level of Great Voids.

However, the void that suddenly appeared in front of him was different.

It is not that big in size, at most it is about the size of a brown bear, but it is covered in armor that is close to the shape of an animal. Its every move is not as frantic as other Hollows, but it has a rational feeling of quietly observing this side.

Although there was no spiritual pressure emanating from it, the air around it was distorted, and one could vaguely glimpse the terrifying power it possessed.

Compared with the virtual being in front of him, the giant virtual being just now is not even worthy of carrying shoes.

It is suspected to have a high level of intelligence and has armor that resembles a beast...

This is a characteristic only possessed by a Hollow at the level of Achukas!

and so……

“Are you Yachukas?”

Aize was the only person in the room who remained calm. He looked at the virtual being and asked.

This question seemed to wake the other party up, and the big hollow that was suspected to be Yachukas slowly raised its head.

"Oh!"

Suddenly, a loud roar occurred.

I saw that the big virtual that looked like Yachukas seemed to move instantly and suddenly appeared in front of Aze. It chopped down the position where Aze was standing with its fish-fin-like hand, shattering the ground.

The terrifying force slammed into the ground, causing it to explode and collapse instantly.

"Shh!"

Aize's figure appeared behind, holding Hinamori Momo in his arms.

"You guys, quickly find a safe place to hide."

Aize put Hinamori Momo on the ground, and without waiting for her to answer, he disappeared from the spot in an instant and appeared on the top of a building.

Almost at the moment when Aize appeared, the Yachukas appeared again as if teleporting, and chopped down at him with its fin-like hand.

"Oh!"

The upper part of the building was immediately destroyed by the astonishing force, turning into rubble all over the sky, and scattered with smoke and dust.

"Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!"...

Aize's figure appeared again on the other side, flashing several times. Relying on the flash step, he distanced himself from the Yachukas.

The Yachukas immediately chased after him, and its speed was not inferior to Aize at all.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"...

It attacked Aize frantically, swinging its fin-like hands to chop down and then swinging its tail-like hands to pull out. Each attack caused a loud roar, and the place hit by it shattered on the spot, either turning into ruins or deep pits and caves.

Aize was being chased frantically by the opponent, but he always kept a calm face. He used instant steps again and again, narrowly avoiding the swinging of the fish fins and the whipping of the long tail, making them all miss without exception and could only hit the ground or the surrounding buildings, causing meaningless destruction.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...!"

Abarai Renji, Kira Izuru, Hinamori Momo, Hisagi Shuhei and others were knocked to the ground by the raging shock wave and the surging air waves. They couldn't help but scream and looked like they were badly tormented by the aftermath.

"You guys run away!"

While resisting the wind and waves, Hisagi Shuhei shouted to Abarai Renji and the others.

“Escape quickly! Find a way to notify Soul Society! Let Soul Society come to rescue!”

"That's definitely a Hollow! And it's an intermediate Hollow of the Yachukas level!"

"A Hollow of that level cannot be dealt with unless one is at the vice-captain level. Even a vice-captain level person may not be strong enough. It is definitely not something that students like us can deal with!"

Hearing this, Abarai Renji also shouted while resisting the wind and waves: "What about Ai? What about Ai?!"

“Let him find a way to escape using Flash Step!” Hisagi Shuhei said without hesitation: “Even if he does, he won’t be able to deal with Achukas!”

Just as Hisagi Shuhei uttered these words, the situation on the battlefield over there began to change.

As everyone watched, Aize fought back.
