Chapter 792: Chapter 627: Welcome, Your Excellency, to the World of the Hollow! (Part 2)
Where is there such a thing as directly taking the blame!
This behavior is even worse than forcibly making someone accept arrangements!
Really...
Not acting human at all.
Black Zetsu still overestimated Uehara Naraku.
Uehara Naraku leisurely finished his cola, suddenly turned his head and continued: "By the way, when you’re done with your business in the Hollow World, if you have nothing to do, you might as well learn something..."
"Hmm...learn what?"
"Learn some modern knowledge..."
Uehara Naraku tossed the can into the trash, squinted at Black Zetsu with a sunny smile: "Like how to bankrupt a supermarket? As for the experiment subject, let’s pick the one we just bought cola from!"
"..."
Black Zetsu seemed a bit unable to look directly at Uehara Naraku.
Seriously, his mother should come and manage her eldest son, can Uehara Naraku still do it... why is his mind so petty...
It thought he had changed...
Yes.
He truly changed.
Became even pettier.
But collapsing a supermarket is a trivial matter, compared to the impending collision between Aizen Sousuke and Orochimaru in the Hollow World.
Because this time...
Many secrets will be revealed by Orochimaru!
Although these secrets are deliberately leaked to Aizen Sousuke.
Hollow Forest.
When Aizen Sousuke, accompanied by Tosen Kaname, Ichimaru Gin, Ulquiorra, and Coyote Starrk arrived here, a group of Arrancar Hollows were greeting his arrival.
"Lord Aizen."
An Arrancar Hollow stood in front of Aizen Sousuke and others, softly said: "Lord Orochimaru asked me to welcome you, please follow us into the underground world."
"...Okay."
Aizen Sousuke adjusted his glasses and nodded.
Since conquering the surface of the Hollow World, Aizen Sousuke hadn’t paid special attention to the underground, he always thought it was a desolate place.
However, while following this Arrancar Hollow, Aizen Sousuke discovered that it was gradually looking like a society, under the control of a group of Achyukas Level Hollows, Gillian Hollows were working here in groups...
It looks like...
It’s still the lowest slave society.
Because Gillian Hollows rarely awaken their will, they can only become the lowest tools, maybe until Orochimaru’s Hollowfication fusion experiment is fully popularized, these Gillian Hollows can be of some use.
"This graduation assessment will last about ten days..."
The leading Arrancar Hollow softly introduced this special exam to Aizen Sousuke and others while leading the way: "All the new Arrancar Hollows will participate, currently there are about one hundred eighty participants..."
"One hundred eighty?"
Aizen Sousuke’s brow slightly furrowed.
This number was a bit beyond his imagination.
Because transforming a Hollow into a humanoid Arrancar is extremely challenging, even more dangerous than Shinigami Hollowfication, which makes Arrancar Hollows precious.
Yet Orochimaru only for an assessment...
can produce one hundred eighty Arrancar Hollows!
This number is not low at all. It is just unknown how many Achyukas level middle hollows and Vasto Lorde level upper hollows are in it...
But...
The introduction quickly followed.
"Of the participants in this assessment, only eleven are Achyukas level Hollows. The rest are experimental products of Gillian Hollows newly cultivated by Lord Orochimaru. Previously, the Gillian Hollow experiment had never succeeded, and only broke through last month..."
It was precisely due to the success of the Gillian Hollow experiment that the structure of the Hollow society began to show hope because the many Gillian Hollows in the Hollow World constitute the large population.
Simply having a rare number of Achyukas and an even rarer number of Vasto Lorde wouldn’t suffice to evolve into a new social species, still far from it...
At this point, the guiding Arrancar Hollow suddenly chuckled: "But the power of Gillian is not so weak...none chosen by Lord Orochimaru as experimental subjects are weak."
"Chosen by Orochimaru...?"
Aizen Sousuke’s face showed a hint of a smile.
This sentence sounds really... somewhat interesting indeed!
Being chosen by Orochimaru...
It’s truly intriguing, isn’t it...
How does Orochimaru choose candidates?
The guiding Arrancar Hollow hadn’t noticed anything amiss with Aizen, continuing to introduce the exam for new Arrancar Hollows to Aizen Sousuke.
The entire exam consists of three rounds.
The first round is a written test, assessing whether each Arrancar Hollow’s intelligence and psychology are normal. This test is not as simple as imagined!
Or rather...
This is an especially rigorous exam.
Relative to the other two rounds, the difficulty of the written test is far beyond.
Because being eliminated in the written test...
means the eliminated hollow will be a failed experimental subject, which will decide its future fate, another form of survival of the fittest!
After all, Orochimaru wants to cultivate a legion of Arrancars that can normally follow orders, possibly a new species, rather than a legion of lunatic tools!
If the Arrancar Hollow’s intelligence and psychology aren’t sufficient, they will be listed as the lower tier, only those qualifying intelligently and psychologically can enter the subsequent exams...
The second round of the exam takes place in the Hollow Forest.
The entire underground Hollow Forest hasn’t been completely conquered by Orochimaru because souls keep entering the Hollow World, transforming into Hollows, it’s an unending hell!
The content of the exam is simple.
A group of Arrancar Hollows who passed the first exam, working in pairs, will snatch scrolls from their peers in the dangerous Hollow Forest!
Because Akatsuki members act in pairs...
This counts as cultivating reserves for Akatsuki.
As for the third round of the exam.
It’s naturally individual battles.
Regardless of cooperation or anything else, only power is the truly eternal topic, only possessing formidable power holds value!
The third exam won’t intentionally focus on victory or defeat.
Judging by Orochimaru’s attitude, he surely hopes to see a batch of excellent Arrancar Hollows, not a group of tools merely capable of firing Cero.
After hearing the contents of the three exams set by Orochimaru, Aizen Sousuke felt somewhat peculiar, it seemed Orochimaru did it pretty well...
If the number of new Arrancar Hollows grows...
There’s a significant possibility it forms a massive new social organism, perhaps conducting more of these exams, utilizing survival of the fittest to change the state of the Hollow World.
As the Master of the Hollow World...
If the Hollow World could become as prosperous as Soul Society, it wouldn’t be bad.
"We’ve arrived."
The guiding Arrancar Hollow halted, the group finally reached their destination, a towering spire in the Hollow Forest.
This tower obviously has been constructed for a long time.
Just hasn’t been used much.
Aside from the graduation assessment for Arrancar Hollows, they rarely appear here, usually residing in Orochimaru’s underground base for training, perhaps only the new exam for Arrancar Hollows counts as a grand affair for these Hollows.
Aizen Sousuke slowly raised his head, looking at the hundreds of bizarre-looking Arrancar Hollows near the tower, these are the Arrancar cultivated by Orochimaru...
The quantity is indeed astonishing!
No wonder for someone concealed in the Hollow World for thousands of years, actually completing Hollow Shinigami Transformation, that undeniably earns Aizen’s admiration...
Just Aizen still can’t see how Orochimaru cultivates them, whether he uses the legendary Hogyoku... or some other method...
Just as Aizen Sousuke was pondering, a sinister and eerie laugh suddenly echoed in Aizen Sousuke’s ears: "Hohohoho...real never lies on the surface...welcome, sir, to the world of Hollows."
