Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

But for Aozaki Mayuki, who had reached the final step, every day of waiting felt like an eternity.

However, even a genius like Aizen couldn't shorten this period of time, so what could he do?

Aozaki Mayuki couldn't help but sigh, feeling admiration and envy for the wisdom of those geniuses.

"Perhaps... I need to rely on your help."

Aozaki Mayuki slowly reached out and gently pressed her hand on the Hogyoku.

The Hogyoku possesses the ability to absorb and materialize the minds of surrounding objects.

If a person has enough potential, it can lead that potential to its fullest potential.

With a "let's give it a try" attitude, Aozaki Mayuki attempted to communicate with the Hogyoku.

The next moment, when his "heart's intention" was poured into the Hogyoku.

The Hogyoku, which was originally tightly wrapped in a membrane of spiritual particles, suddenly burst out with a powerful force.

The dazzling light seemed to envelop the entire room in a vast universe.

Buzzing!!

Accompanied by a deep and mysterious resonance, Aozaki Mayuki carefully opened the seal on the spirit particle membrane.

A gem that shone with a deep blue-black light slid down his palm and lay quietly in his hand.

This gemstone exudes a chilling, mysterious aura, as if it came from beyond this world.

The power it contains is unfathomable, as dazzling and brilliant as the stars in the universe.

The Hogyoku hovered quietly above Aozaki Mayuki's palm, trembling slightly.

The astonishing energy it released spread like a torrent in all directions.

These energies are like countless tiny nerve endings, instinctively stretching out aimlessly in all directions, seemingly wanting to explore everything around them.

"My intuition has been amplified several times over!"

"Not only that, my senses have become more acute and refined, and I can clearly feel even the slightest changes in spiritual pressure."

"It's as if all the spiritual energy in the world cannot escape my perception!"

"Why was I given this ability? Is there something I need to find for myself?"

Aozaki Mayuki was secretly amazed, his gaze fixed on the constantly buzzing Hōgyoku in his hand, lost in thought.

He seemed to understand something, and slowly lifted the Hōgyoku, then pressed it down onto his bare chest.

However, to his surprise, he did not feel any unusual sensation.

The Hogyoku fit his body perfectly, as if they were originally one.

There was no obstruction or resistance whatsoever, nor were there any violent friction or collision sounds.

The powerful energy fluctuations that were originally spreading outwards also stopped abruptly in an instant.

When the Hogyoku was completely embedded in Aozaki Mayuki's chest

He did not feel any discomfort; on the contrary, he felt an unprecedented sense of ease.

This feeling is quite wonderful, as if you are one with the world!

Chapter 185 The Bushes

Aozaki Mayuki gently stroked her chest, feeling the mysterious power emanating from the blue-black Hogyoku.

It lay there quietly.

Suddenly, Aozaki Mayuki snapped back to her senses, her eyes brightening and becoming clearer.

At this moment, he seemed to transcend the world, looking down upon it from a more sublime and otherworldly perspective.

What unfolded before him was a magnificent scene of all things in the world, like a colorful and splendid painting.

On this enormous curtain, a pair of familiar pupils slowly opened, revealing endless depth and wisdom.

A strange feeling welled up in Aozaki Mayuki's heart.

He felt as if he knew the other person's true identity from his memory.

But when facing the other person, all memories become blurry.

This contradictory feeling left him utterly confused.

Just then, a melodious voice, like the tolling of a bell, rang out: "Keep moving forward!"

Moving forward? Where should I go?

Aozaki Mayuki fell into deep thought.

A strong urge deep within him compelled him to look up at the sky.

Looking at the empty sky, it seemed that as long as you took that step, you could step into a completely new realm.

But the place was too vast, so vast that it was somewhat frightening.

In that instant, everything will change dramatically.

He stood there hesitantly, pondering whether to take that step.

What does that unknown territory really mean? Is it worth pursuing without hesitation?

Questions welled up in his mind, leaving him feeling extremely confused.

However, that yearning for the unknown was like an unstoppable torrent, constantly assaulting his mental defenses.

Aozaki Mayuki took a step forward, as if she had truly ascended to the heavens.

In a moment of cautious daze, the scene before him returned to reality, and he slumped blankly into his seat.

The next second, Aozaki Mayuki blinked and sat up straight as if nothing had happened.

"My spiritual pressure hasn't increased. Could it be because the Hogyoku hasn't awakened yet?"

He muttered to himself, slowly lowered his head, and blinked his eyes.

The Hogyoku fused perfectly with his body, but it did not bring about the substantial evolution he had expected.

There wasn't even the slightest sign of an increase in spiritual pressure.

"It didn't raise my spiritual pressure level, but it allowed me to borrow the powerful spiritual pressure contained in the Hogyoku."

"In this way, the total amount of spiritual pressure I can draw upon has far exceeded what it used to be."

Aozaki Mayuki pondered to himself.

Although the spiritual pressure level did not increase, the amount of spiritual pressure available to the user increased several times over!

Aozaki Mayuki nodded slightly, then closed her eyes and unleashed her enhanced spiritual senses to their fullest extent.

His spiritual perception expanded rapidly, eventually covering an area of ​​hundreds of miles in radius.

This vast region is roughly equivalent to one-third of the total area of ​​Seireitei, and by modern standards, it is roughly equivalent to the entire land area of ​​Japan.

After a brief pause, Aozaki Mayuki's figure suddenly transformed into a phantom, flying swiftly towards the distant horizon like a gentle breeze.

The three granddaughters' strength test has long since ended, and they are resting.

Among the many women, only Heribel could vaguely see Aozaki Mayuki's receding figure.

Considering the potential dangers of Hueco Mundo, she initially intended to give chase.

But they soon realized that Aozaki Mayuki's speed was astonishing!

After chasing it for a while, I realized it was beyond my reach and had no choice but to give up the idea.

"Where is Lady Shingetsu heading? Will she encounter any danger?"

A sense of unease welled up in Herribel's heart, but knowing her own inadequacy, she could only sigh inwardly.

I only hope that I can break through the bottleneck as soon as possible and become an Arrancar, so that I will be qualified to stand beside that powerful master and walk alongside him.

About half a day later, they were quite far from the temporary base.

Before me stretched an endless mountain range of stone forests, bathed in a hazy, gray light.

Enormous quartz trees rose from the ground, piercing the sky and forming a magnificent forest that steadily supported the shifting sands of the void.

These towering trees support the vast sea of ​​sand, dividing the virtual circle into upper and lower layers.

The Great Forest of Hollows is located in the lower layer of Hueco Mundo.

Aozaki Mayuki is in the Quartz Forest, fighting her way forward.

"Hoohoho!!!"

A series of angry roars came from behind, and a group of Gillian, with their scarlet eyes wide open, relentlessly pursued Aozaki Mayuki.

"Hado No. 4: White Lightning!"

With a soft shout from Aozaki Mayuki, his right hand suddenly pointed to where Gillian was and tapped lightly.

Sizzle!

With a crisp sound, a dazzling white lightning bolt roared in like a giant dragon, taking shape in the blink of an eye.

This thick white lightning bolt was incredibly powerful, as if it were about to tear the entire space apart!

Faced with such a terrifying attack, the three Gillians, hampered by their large, cumbersome bodies and low intelligence, were simply unable to dodge.

They could only watch helplessly as the white lightning hurtled towards them and mercilessly pierced through their bodies.

There wasn't even time to let out a scream.

The three poor Gillian were completely swallowed up by the thick lightning.

Life quickly vanished from them, replaced by a heavy, suffocating aura of death.

In the blink of an eye, their strong bodies seemed to lose their support, and began to slowly release countless tiny spiritual particles.

Bang bang bang! !

Three earth-shattering explosions rang out.

The enormous creatures crashed to the ground and never moved again.
