Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

"Etherealization?" Upon hearing this familiar yet unfamiliar term, everyone immediately became interested, and curious expressions appeared on their faces.

They had all heard of it, but had never seen it in person.

Even Harribel and Nelieel had only seen similar things before.

"That's right, it's about making Shinigami break the boundary between Shinigami and Hollows, just like you, except that Shinigami gain the power of Hollows."

Aozaki Mayuki explained.

The power of the void...

Halibel opened her mouth, her mind drifting back to the ambitious man who had died at her hands.

She had certainly seen Shinigami with Hollow powers before, and had even fought one.

But that shouldn't be considered a blurring effect.

Moreover, she really didn't know how this blurring process happened.

Everyone immediately became interested and expressed their desire to go and see.

After all, it's quite a novel thing that two races that were once mortal enemies are now moving closer to each other.

"Come on, I'll show you around."

A gentle breeze billowed the white haori as Aozaki Mayuki waved to the crowd and headed towards the Technology Development Bureau.

Aizen truly hadn't expected Aozaki Mayuki to have such a sudden and unexpected idea.

He frowned, feeling a headache coming on, and rubbed his temples.

Can't this guy just shut up for a minute?

"Captain-Commander, you know who this Hollowfied target is. It might cause trouble."

When Aizen used the honorific title, he emphasized it, seemingly to express his dissatisfaction.

However, Aozaki Mayuki remained unmoved, and he smiled at Aizen, saying:

"Lieutenant Aizen, don't be so tense. I may not know their strength, but surely you do?"

Aizen sighed helplessly, knowing he couldn't change Aozaki Mayuki's decision.

This isn't a theatrical performance on stage, why are you even joining in this fun?

Aozaki Mayuki, who was showing off in front of a group of underlings, saw the figure in the middle whose spiritual pressure was gradually surging and blurted out:

"Has that kid Zaraki started yet?"

"Yes, it has already drawn out the emptiness in his heart, and it's about to form a mask."

Aizen took off his glasses, wiped them with a handkerchief, and smiled as he looked at the figure.

This is a training ground located underground in the Technology Development Bureau. Unlike the high-tech buildings on the other side of the metal door, all you can see here are rocks and dust.

Kisuke Urahara is a master at digging and has a wealth of experience, so building an underground training ground is no challenge for him.

The tall man kneeling in the center of the arena had lifeless eyes. His surging spiritual pressure, concentrated like liquid, gushed out from his body and quickly covered his fierce face.

"This spiritual pressure, before I fused with the Hogyoku, was probably the only level I could reach."

Neliel exclaimed in admiration, then stroked her chin and continued:

"However, if this is all there is to it, it still can't compare to the improvement of becoming an Arrancar, right!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the tall man's spiritual pressure erupted once again.

The golden spiritual energy fluctuations were as dazzling as a burning sun.

As the spiritual pressure continued to increase, the man's body also underwent changes.

His skin became rough, his muscles swelled, his bones protruded, and he looked like a huge monster.

"Wow, is this what holographic transformation is? Isn't this completely turning into the original form of a holographic being!?"

"Lilynette shouted excitedly from the side."

The others were also stunned by the sight before them, but they did not react with the same intensity as Lilynette.

Just then, the man finally completed his transformation.

His head was covered with a hideous white mask, covered with sharp horns and fangs, like a cannibalistic demon crawling out of hell.

Beneath the mask, a pair of red eyes flashed with a fierce light, and the cold, dark spiritual pressure was as violent as a real Hollow, sending chills down one's spine.

"Is this what 'blurring' is?"

Ulquiorra muttered to himself,

"It's quite interesting that a complete soul still has to explore the emptiness that shouldn't exist in its heart..."

His gaze remained fixed on the man, his eyes sparkling with anticipation and curiosity.

Chapter 475 Dominance

"Okay, I take back what I said before. It seems that Hollowfication is indeed no less powerful than Arrancar."

Nelliel couldn't help but show a surprised expression upon sensing the surge of spiritual pressure emanating from Kenpachi Zaraki.

The increase in spiritual pressure was in no way inferior to that of an Arrancar.

Her gaze was fixed on Kenpachi Zaraki.

The monster that was gradually becoming like her actually made her feel a sense of threat.

"If it weren't for Shinjuku, I probably wouldn't have even reached this level."

Aozaki Mayuki remained silent, only giving her a loving look.

His eyes were full of tenderness and love, and he seemed to be very pleased with her humility.

The fact that this knight was not jealous was a wonderful quality.

While taking Nelieel's hand to comfort her, Aozaki Mayuki used her spiritual sense to feel Kenpachi Zaraki's frenzied spiritual pressure.

Kenpachi Zaraki truly lived up to his reputation as a born monster. The moment he completed his Hollowfication, his spiritual pressure, while not quite breaking through dimensions, had already reached an extremely terrifying level.

Aozaki Mayuki was secretly amazed. He had conducted many Hollowfication experiments, but Kenpachi Zaraki was the first test subject to make him feel such powerful spiritual pressure.

If you gave him a Hogyoku, I wonder what he would become.

When Unohana Retsu was in her Hollowfication form, she was only a regular first-class spirit, which was significantly weaker than Kenpachi Moku in his current state.

Now, Kenpachi Zaraki's spiritual pressure has surpassed that of Retsu Unohana when she was in Hollowfication, reaching a new level.

"Roar!!"

With a deafening roar, a crimson beam of light shot out.

The Arrancars narrowed their eyes, sensing the familiar spiritual pressure.

They knew what that light represented—

Cero!

Without a doubt, this is Cero!!

Even though it was just a regular Cero, the pressure it exerted surpassed that of most of the Espada's "King Hollow Flash"!

This is the advantage of having high stats; even ordinary skills can unleash considerable power.

Arrancars evolved from Hollows, so they naturally understand the source of the Cero's power.

"Seriously, he comes right off the bat with a Cero. Does this kid even respect me as his older brother?"

With a casual wave of his hand, Aozaki Mayuki deflected the terrifying beam of light.

This training ground is protected by multiple layers of barriers set up by the Ghost Path sect.

A Cero that would absolutely destroy a major city in the outside world would only create a crater a few dozen meters wide here.

"There are so many of us here, yet he only attacks you. Doesn't that just prove that you're the only one he cares about?"

Aizen said nonchalantly.

To be honest, he didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said. If someone really asked why Kenpachi Zaraki only attacked Aozaki Mayuki, he would answer without hesitation:

"instinct."

Defeating Aozaki Mayuki and having a fierce battle with him was undoubtedly his obsession.

Even if they turned into monsters, they couldn't let go of their obsession!

"Could you please stop using such misleading words? Anyone who doesn't know better would think this guy has ulterior motives towards me, the captain."

Aozaki Mayuki extended a finger, and a flash of black and white spiritual pressure appeared. The chaotic pillar of light slammed into Kenpachi Zaraki with a "bang," slamming him directly into the ground.

Hearing the roar coming from underground, Aozaki Mayuki chuckled and said:

"It'll probably be a while before we can see this. With this guy's strength, the Ghost Path Clan's barrier won't last long. We need to minimize the damage."

"Who among you is interested in going up and giving it a try?"

"Matsuki, let me do it, let me do it!"

Lilynette grabbed Stark, ran up to Aozaki Mazuki, waved her hand, and her eyes were full of excitement.

"Are you... sure you can do it?"

Aozaki Mayuki gave her a suspicious look, clearly not believing in her abilities.

"What kind of look is that? Look at me carefully, this is the new power I gained after fusing with the Hogyoku."

Lilynette waved her hand, then slapped Stark with her other hand, making a crisp sound.

Judging from Stark's grimacing expression, it's hard to tell whether he's really in pain or just faking it.

"Chase him down, you pack of wolves!"

The next moment, to everyone's astonishment...

The dejected middle-aged man sitting on the ground next to her suddenly became ethereal, transforming into a storm of spiritual particles that swept towards Lilynette.

A large number of spiritual particles gathered around Lilynette, and then a pillar of light suddenly appeared and disappeared.

As the light faded, she became a completely different person.
