I'm in Bleach, starting with Unlimited Blade Works.

The other Espada followed Aizen for their own reasons.

The First Espada, Cortaya Stark, was lonely, and in Las Noches, he found many "friends" who would not perish under the pressure of his powerful spiritual pressure.

Barragan Ruisenbon, the 20th Espada, was forced by Aizen's overwhelming strength and was defeated by Aizen with absolute power. He was then attracted by Aizen's promise that Hueco Mundo would launch a counterattack against Soul Society, and thus agreed to relinquish Las Noches and become the 20th Espada under Aizen.

Ulquiorra, the 40th Espada, obeyed Aizen because he wanted to see things in this world beyond "nothingness," so he could see more existences that were completely different from "nothingness."

Nnoitra, the 50th Espada, wanted to become the "strongest." After successfully breaking through the enemy lines but failing to become the "strongest," Nnoitra wanted to fight against stronger opponents, die at their hands, and use that as a stepping stone to become the "strongest."

The other Espada also had their own reasons.

Only Yammy Rialgo possesses "loyalty".

"Hahaha, then you're doomed, Death!"

Yammie laughed heartily.

He certainly didn't think he would submit to a death god.

"Get ready to return Ulquiorra to me!"

"Otherwise, I'll use my fists to smash you to pieces!"

"Is it?"

"In that case, I hope I can hear it from you again later."

He stretched out his right hand, and a crystal emitting a blue light appeared in Erin's hand.

This is the half of the Hogyoku created by Aizen.

With a thought, Erin sent the Hogyoku flying from his hand to above Yammy, where a ray of blue light descended, completely covering Yammy's body.

"Roar!"

The moment he was enveloped by the blue light, Yammy let out a roar.

Then, under the blue light, Yammy's entire body began to shrink, transforming from a length of over ten meters and a height of over two meters into a burly man nearly three meters tall.

The eyebrows were deep red, and after the face was dissected, only a white bone mask with teeth-like markings remained on the chin.

At the same time, a Zanpakuto appeared at Yammy's waist.

"This, what is this?"

Yammy was very surprised to be moving with a human body for the first time.

"This is an Arrancar, a branch of the Hollows' mainstream evolutionary path."

Holding the slowly flying Hogyoku in his hand, Erin said, "Arrancar, this is a different path from Hollow Devouring Evolution."

"Only Hollows of Gillian rank or higher are qualified to become 'Arrancar'."

"After becoming Arrancars, you will no longer feel the fear of regression, and you will gain power far greater than that of evolution."

"Yammy Rialgo, now, can you answer me? Will you choose to follow me and stay behind me, or will you choose to turn your back on me and fight me to reclaim Ulquiorra?"

"..."

Yammy felt the power within his body, which was many times stronger than before, and he lowered his head in deep thought.

He was just reckless, not stupid.

Someone who can so easily increase one's strength is not someone one can question.

Ulquiorra is smarter than I am; the fact that he's willing to follow this Grim Reaper shows he understands a lot.

"What was I about to say?"

After Yammy agreed to join his ranks, Erin personally branded him with the number "10".

This "10" is not the kind that becomes "0" after Yami returns to its original state.

In Erin's opinion, Yammy was indeed much stronger after his release, stronger than the 50th Espada, Nnoitra, but still somewhat inferior to the previous four.

After his release, Yammy bluntly stated that even Ulquiorra, in his eyes after his release, was just as trash as Nnoitra and Grimmjow.

Yes, this statement is comparable to Renji Abarai's claim during the Thousand-Year Blood War that he had reached a level where he could fight Aizen.

Based on Yammy's performance, he is far from reaching the level of "the Zeroth Espada".

After all, no matter how strong Yammy's abilities are, he is still just an Arrancar of the Adjuchas level.

Even when enraged to its maximum size, it would only reach the level of Ulquiorra's first Resurrection form.

After waving for Ulquiorra and Yammy to leave, Erin instantly unleashed his full spiritual pressure sensing ability.

"Yammy is back in place, but what about Haribel?"

With Erin's current spiritual pressure, it's practically impossible for him to sense the entire Hueco Mundo.

However, what Erin is holding now is the strongest illusion-type Zanpakuto, Kyoka Suigetsu.

In Erin's view, Kyoka Suigetsu is not only a Zanpakuto with maxed-out control abilities, but also a Zanpakuto with maxed-out support abilities.

Its ability to completely hypnotize is no less effective than its ability to fight enemies if used for support.

Soon, Erin used the ability of Mirror Flower Water Moon to control the spiritual pressure of his main body to the limit that his clone could withstand.

The next moment, almost the entire Hueco Mundo was imprinted in Erin's mind.

Soon, through this temporarily enhanced spiritual pressure sensing ability, Erin sensed Nnoitra's presence.

Near Nnoitra, there were also four auras, one strong and three weak.

"Could this level of spiritual pressure be Tia Harribel?"

Sensing the spiritual pressure from both sides, Erin's heart stirred, and he instantly left Hueco Mundo, flying towards the direction of the spiritual pressure he had sensed...

……

Within the Hueco Mundo, the ground was entirely composed of yellow gravel formed from the remains of spirits that perished.

Rocks are extremely rare in the virtual circle.

Even rarer than mountains and rocks are water sources.

This place, however, has cliffs and half a lake.

Occasionally, a ghost would come to this lake to drink water and then leave.

All the Hollows who came here were very sensible and did not start a battle.

Because they all knew that these things belonged to an adult.

The fact that the magistrate made an exception and allowed them to drink water here was already a rare act of kindness.

This is extremely rare even in Hueco Mundo.

Tia Holibel, that's the name of that person.

She is a renowned Vastod-class Hollow in Hueco Mundo. Back when Barragan Ruizenbon was the King of Hueco Mundo, he invited Tia Holibell to join Las Noches, which he founded.

Unfortunately, Barragán's methods and attitude towards his subordinates disgusted Holly Belle, who repeatedly rejected Barragán's offers to recruit her.

If Heribel hadn't been one of the few Vasto Lorde Hollows in Hueco Mundo, Barragan would have already sent troops to wipe her out.

Therefore, although Halibel did not form a faction, she did not drive away the Void beings who spontaneously gathered under her command.

Gradually, those Hollows who were unwilling to submit to Barragán sought refuge here, which gradually formed a loose power force second only to Las Noches.

On this day, a man with a round, disc-shaped back collar and dragging a crescent-shaped cane arrived here...

Chapter 209 Haolibel Arrancar

"boom!"

"Boom boom boom boom"

A deafening roar erupted as cliff walls crumbled one after another. The powerful Void dwellers within the cliffs escaped before the explosion, only to be caught in the aftershocks. Though injured, their injuries were not fatal.

Those who failed to escape from the cliff in time either died in the explosion or were buried by the ruins of the cliff...

Two figures, one in blue and one in white, darted and collided between the cliffs.

Each collision unleashes a violent explosion, transforming into invisible shockwaves that destroy everything around them.

"boom!"

After another collision, Haolibel's feet left two white trails in the air.

Those were the marks left by the friction between the force of using spiritual energy to stop the backward movement and the air.

"This guy is amazing!"

Hao Libei frowned.

"When did such a powerful person appear in Hueco Mundo?"

"And his spiritual pressure is so strange..."

As the Vastod standing at the very top of Hueco Mundo, the strongest person Halibel had ever seen in the past was Barragan Ruizenbon of Las Noches.

However, although her strength is not comparable to Barragan Ruisenbon, both Halibel and Barragan belong to the top level of Hollows, the Vasto Lorde. If Halibel wanted to escape, Barragan, who is not a speed-type Hollow, would really be unable to do anything to her.

And this strange Hollow, judging from its level, is clearly just an Adjuchas, but its posture...

The reason this Hollow is considered strange is that in the evolution of Hollows, the higher the level, the more similar the appearance of their bodies becomes to that of humans.

As the highest-ranking Vastode, Halibel now only possesses a form that is almost human-like, her entire body is still wrapped in a white ethereal shell, and she wears an ethereal mask on her face.

But the Adjuchas in front of me not only has a complete human form, but even its mask is not visible.

If it weren't for the immense spiritual pressure emanating from him, Haribel would believe he was a Shinigami (Grim Reaper).

Moreover, his strength is not commensurate with Adjuchas's level.

"Who are you? Why have you invaded my territory?"

Seeing that the opponent had also adjusted their stance, Hao Libei asked sharply.

"Oh?"

"Invading your territory?"

"Woman, are you mistaken about something?"
