Zongman: The Glowing Cuisine Conquers the Tongue of God

Shihouin Yoruichi explained:

"Hollows are not ordinary evil spirits or vengeful spirits, but are even more sinister beings. They are monsters that have completely lost their humanity!"

"You should have also noticed that there is a hole in the body of the hollow, right?"

Ubuyashiki Yōya nodded.

From the first time he faced these evil spirits...Hollows, the swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps discovered that each of these things had a hole in them.

"The Hollows, because of the emptiness in their hearts, have extremely strong desires. They long to eat human souls to fill their lost hearts."

"When extreme emptiness is no longer satisfied with devouring human souls, it will target the souls of its own kind."

"Hundreds of ordinary Hollows will kill and devour each other. Their powers will merge and form a new entity... the Great Hollow Killian!"

"Killian is the lowest level of Hollow. They are huge in size and generally have a black body and a white mask with a long nose. Their strength and intelligence are the lowest among the Hollows. Many Killians can only act on instinct, and only a few have independent consciousness."

Ubuyashiki Yoya was stunned.

"You're saying that those gigantic evil spirits that are a hundred meters tall... are just the weakest Hollows?"

Oh my God, how is this possible!

The powerful opponent that made the entire Demon Slayer Corps exhausted and even had to seek help from all the supernatural forces in Japan, is just a group of the lowest-level Hollows?

Ubuyashiki Yoya found it a little hard to accept.

Shihouin Yoruichi shook her head.

"Now is not the time to feel sorry for ourselves. Let's first find a way to deal with these Killians!"

"I just saw in the sky that these Killians are devouring each other. Some of them have already developed beastly armor, which means they are evolving into a higher-level Hollow - Achukas!"

"Yachukas is a mid-level Hollow, possessing power greater than Kili and possessing complete autonomy."

"But they are more brutal than Killian, and they are more eager to become stronger... Because if a Hollow that becomes Achukas does not continue to prey on Hollows of the same level, it will degenerate."

"Once an Achukas degenerates into a Killian, it loses its individual consciousness and can never evolve into an Achukas again."

"Also, Achukas was bitten by a higher-level Great Void Devourer, and his evolution was permanently stopped."

"So, when several Achucas meet, it will inevitably lead to a more serious devouring phenomenon!"

Ubuyashiki Kōya's eyes lit up.

"Then let them devour each other... Maybe we can take advantage of them both being hurt and destroy them in one fell swoop!"

Shihouin Yoruichi shook her head.

"It's not that easy... When the number of yachucas preying on their own kind reaches a certain level, there are two possible outcomes."

"One is that the power reaches a bottleneck and cannot continue to evolve."

"And the other kind...that's dangerous!"

"Once Yachukas breaks through the bottleneck, his strength will rise to a new level and he will evolve again, becoming the top-level Hollow - Vastold!"

"The Vastold-class Hollow possesses immense power, possessing the strength of a captain-level Shinigami, even stronger than many Shinigami captains!"

……

"The higher the level of the Hollow, the closer its body shape is to that of a human, and the changes to its original form after liberation are also smaller."

Shihouin Yoruichi looked at Ubuyashiki Kyouya.

"You just said that there's a powerful individual among the ordinary Hollows. Is he in human form or beast form? Does he have a lot of bone armor?"

"If it has more bone armor and is in beast form, it should be a Yachukas-class Hollow."

"If it had less bone armor and was still in human form, that would be the worst outcome... It's a Vastold-class Hollow!"

"What! The more human-like the Hollow, the higher its level?"

These words frightened Ubuyashiki Kazuya. His already pale face became even paler, cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and his body was shaking.

As if he had suffered a major blow!

He grabbed Li Yang's hand and said anxiously:

"broken!"

"When the group of Hollows appeared, a soldier found a pitiful child in the restricted area and brought it back to the base... I'm letting Nezuko accompany it!"

"Could it be a Vastold-class Hollow?"

Thinking of this possibility, Ubuyashiki Kazuya's face turned even paler.

Killian-level Hollows are already extremely difficult to deal with. Wouldn't a Vastrode-level Hollow, which is two levels higher than Killian, be able to easily destroy the entire Demon Slayer Corps?

Shifengyuan Yeyi was stunned for a moment. Could he be so unlucky?

(PS: There’s more to come in the evening…).

Chapter 80: Cute Nilu! That glorious sun!

"It's unlikely... Vastold-class Hollows are extremely rare in Hueco Mundo. How could they come here for no reason..."

"But it really does have a bone mask on its head!"

A shocked expression appeared on Shihouin Yoruichi's face.

"You mean it's covered in bone in only one place?"

Ubuyashiki Yōya nodded.

Shifengyuan Yoruichi didn't know what to say... This luck, if not extremely unlucky, then it can be said to be the worst bad luck in eight lifetimes-!

"This is truly terrible. The Arrancar is so advanced... then she must be a very powerful Vastold-class Hollow!"

trouble!

Big trouble!

Shihouin Yoruichi's expression was more serious than ever. Even she knew very little about the Vastold-class Hollows and had never encountered one.

However, as Shihouin is one of the four nobles of Soul Society, Yoruichi knows more than ordinary Shinigami.

As far as she knew, there had once been an ancient Hollow that was suspected to be of the Vastold class that broke into Soul Society and defeated the young old man Yamamoto...

How powerful old man Yamamoto is, Shihouin Yoruichi, who was once the captain of the Death God Second Division, knows very well.

Even if the other twelve Death God captains were tied together, they might not be a match for old man Yamamoto, the captain-in-chief!

Even when he was young, old man Yamamoto was definitely a very scary guy.

And that ancient great void could actually defeat him?

Even if the ancient Hollow is the top one among the Vastod-class Hollows... an ordinary Vastod-class Hollow may have higher strength than the Death God Captain.

Shihouin Yoruichi scratched his hair in annoyance.

She is not suitable for making plans or commanding operations, but she is good at charging into battle.

When she was the captain of Soul Society's Second Division, she often led the charge.

But now, only the products are put on the shelves.

"We must prepare for the worst. If that child is really a Vastold-class Hollow..."

Shihouin Yoruichi felt a little regretful.

Obviously, there were three powerful dragons around Li Yang. She had seen the true forms of Thor and the other two before. With such powerful physiques, even if they were to withstand a Void Flash from the Great Void, they would probably not be able to break through their defense.

but……

Void is a soul state, like air in the real world, and ordinary attacks cannot cause damage to Void.

No matter how powerful the dragon is, it will be in vain if it cannot defeat Xu De's true body.

correct!

Shifengyuan Yoichi's eyes lit up and he looked at Li Yang with burning eyes.

She suddenly remembered that the guy in front of her seemed to have a spiritual pressure comparable to that of old man Yamamoto!

When old man Yamamoto fights against a Vashtod-level Hollow, it should be a crushing victory, right?

pity……

"It would be great if you had a Zanpakutō. A Zanpakutō can inflict damage to a Hollow..."

Ubuyashiki Yoya said:

"Master Shifengyuan, there is no need to worry about this."

"We've researched and found that any attack can damage a Hollow, even ordinary bullets, as long as it's within the restricted area."

"Only when the Hollow leaves the restricted area will it become invisible. Only people with Yin-Yang eyes can see it. At the same time, ordinary attacks are ineffective against the Hollow. Only the Nichirin Swords in the hands of our Demon Slayers can cause damage to it!"

Shifengyuan Yeyi was stunned for a moment.

Can this be done?

"So, all the Voids that appear here are physical entities?"

Ubuyashiki Kōya nodded, "You can think of it that way."

"What are you waiting for, Li Yang...Hurry up and let your dragon maid do it!"

Shihouin Yoruichi's face was full of excitement, and he even felt his blood boiling.

If they can kill a Vastrode-class Hollow, she will definitely brag about her achievement to Urahara when she returns!

The group arrived at the Demon Slayer Corps base.

Li Yang saw from afar that two little girls were having fun in the corridor.

One of the little loli is naturally Nezuko. Since Li Yang removed the zombie poison from her, she has recovered as a human.

However, the zombie's abilities are still retained, and it can change size at will.

The other loli is a child who is suspected to be a Vastold-level Hollow.

Li Yang looked at the petite figure and was stunned for a moment.

The little guy had short lake green hair and a mask in the shape of an antelope skull on his head, but it was already broken.

He was wearing a gray-green garment, similar to a cloak, and was barefoot.

When turning around, Li Yang saw the little guy's face clearly.

She also had a scar running from her forehead to the right side of her nose, had gray-brown eyes, and rose-colored horizontal facial lines.

This is undoubtedly a Vastold-class Hollow!

He was also one of the most powerful Arrancar "Ten Blades" in Hueco Mundo!

But she is the cute little Nilu!

His real name is "Nellieldu Odeschvank". He was once the third of the "Espada" in Hueco Mundo. Later, he was ambushed by Nnoitragil, who was also a member of the Espada. He was injured in the head, his body became smaller and he lost his memory.

When Li Yang saw that the Vastrode-class Hollow was actually the cute little Nilu, his anxious heart was completely relieved.

"It's okay. Although she is indeed a Vasthold-class Hollow, her nature is not bad."

Shifengyuan Yoruichi was confused and looked at Li Yang with an expression of "Are you kidding me?"

"Does the Great Hollow still have a nature?"

Li Yang explained: "Ordinary Hollows naturally have no nature, not even self-awareness, but when they reach the Yachukas level, they already have self-awareness and a preliminary nature, the only difference being that some are good and some are bad."

"When they reach the Vasthold-class Hollow, their natures will be further refined, even acquiring human qualities."

"Nel is a Vasthold-class Hollow with a kind heart. She is an autonomous Arrancar and can continue to evolve without devouring her own kind, so she hates meaningless battles."

"She believed that Vastod had fallen from humanity to become a Hollow, and now that he had finally regained his humanity, he shouldn't engage in meaningless fighting."

"Oh, by the way, in Hueco Mundo, Vastold-class Hollows are also ranked, and the ten most powerful Arrancar are called the 'Ten Espada'."

"Arrancar means Great Hollows transformed into Death Gods...similar to the Death God Hollows transformed by Hirako and Mako."

"Nel was once the third of the Espada, but was ambushed by fellow Espada Nnoitragil, resulting in a head injury, shrinking her body, and losing her memory."

Shihouin Yoruichi looked at Li Yang in shock.

"You even know the information about Hueco Mundo?"
