"Destruction Death Ray"

A pure black beam of light was released again from Gaoyu's finger, piercing directly through the body of a Menos Grande.

Although the Menos Grande's body was massive, it could no longer regenerate after its vital point was pierced, and it finally fell onto the white spiritual sand.

Given the Menos Grande's size, its fall was like a skyscraper collapsing, instantly kicking up the white sand into the air.

Gaoyu frowned as he looked at the Menos Grande that had fallen before him.

Theoretically, an ordinary Menos Grande was already at the Lieutenant level, even considered a high-ranking Lieutenant.

But this Menos Grande surprisingly had no Soul Ability. Truly...

Trash!

He didn't know what the conditions were for a Hollow to possess a Soul Ability. Did it have to possess high intelligence like Metastacia?

If that were the case, then he really had to get Aizen to transform the Menos Grande into an Arrancar as soon as possible so he could gain more abilities.

Damn it, he had to have it both ways!

He wanted the Shinigami's Soul Ability, and he wanted the Arrancar's Soul Ability too!

If possible, he wanted the Quincy's Soul Ability as well!

No one would complain about having too few abilities. In any case, Gaoyu hoped to have many Soul Abilities.

To this day, Gaoyu still didn't know what the situation was like outside, or even if Tanimoto Toru was dead yet.

Because he had permanently acquired Tanimoto Toru's Soul Ability, "Destruction Death Ray," even if Tanimoto Toru's favorability towards him dropped below eighty later, or if he died, he would still be able to use "Destruction Death Ray."

Therefore, he couldn't determine if Tanimoto Toru was still alive based on whether the "Destruction Death Ray" ability existed or not.

Thinking of this, he greedily continued to absorb the spiritual particles of Hueco Mundo.

The concentration of spiritual particles in Hueco Mundo was much denser than in the Soul Society. If one could get used to such a place, the strength they could unleash would only be greater.

Moreover, such dense spiritual particles were also more conducive to cultivation.

And in this environment, his accumulation of Black Sun had also become stronger.

Gaoyu walked onto the corpse of the fallen Menos Grande and sat down on it.

He rested for about ten minutes. Just as he was about to stand up, he suddenly sensed a Hollow's Reiatsu.

The Hollow was not hiding its Reiatsu, and it was not approaching quickly. Gaoyu stood up from the Menos Grande's body, sensing that the Hollow's Reiatsu was very strong, far exceeding his own!

"Could it be I've encountered a future big shot?"

Gaoyu frowned slightly. Although he wasn't very powerful now, Hueco Mundo hadn't truly evolved yet.

After Sosuke Aizen officially became the King of Hueco Mundo, he used the Hogyoku to cause Hueco Mundo to undergo an overall evolution. So, even though he was alone in the world of Hollows, as long as he wasn't too unlucky, he generally wouldn't be in danger.

After all, Hueco Mundo was vast, and there weren't many Adjuchas. Scattered throughout such a vast world, ordinary Hollows might never encounter an Adjuchas in their lifetime.

Gaoyu's earlier claim about looking for Stark was just for fun. How could a Shinigami like him go looking for a Hollow?

However, he now felt like he had indeed encountered someone powerful. At the very least... it was an intermediate Menos Grande!

With his current strength, dealing with a lower-level Menos Grande was not a problem. Although Gillian was huge, it was just a clumsy target for his Destruction Death Ray.

But starting from the intermediate Menos Grande, the Adjuchas, Hollows began to become agile. Although his Destruction Death Ray could ignore defense, it did not have a homing property.

With the speed of an Adjuchas, dodging his Destruction Death Ray would be quite easy.

But running away was impossible. Although in his perception, the approaching Hollow was not fast, if he ran now, with his current strength, he probably couldn't outrun an intermediate Menos Grande.

Of course, if it came down to a fight, he wasn't afraid.

Because he still had the Black Sun that he had accumulated for a long time!

Continuously pouring Reiatsu into the Black Sun, Gaoyu could no longer imagine how powerful the Black Sun was now.

If all this Reiatsu were to erupt in an instant, it would probably be no less than a powerful attack from a Captain using their Bankai.

As long as the person approaching wasn't an Adjuchas, Gaoyu could still compete with them.

However, upon seeing the other party's form, he felt that he might be able to save the Black Sun.

What appeared in Gaoyu's sight was a Menos Grande in the shape of an antelope, slowly walking towards him.

This appearance, combined with her Soul Ability called 'Metamorphosis,' allowed Gaoyu to instantly know her true identity.

Nirggeyendo Audhumla!

The future former Third Espada, who was ambushed by Nnoitra and turned into the child Nel. At this point in time, she was still a powerful Adjuchas.

Although she was powerful, she should pose no threat to him.

As Nirggeyendo walked over, she saw the Menos Grande lying on the ground and Gaoyu standing on it. She asked with some confusion, "A Shinigami? How can you be in Hueco Mundo?"

"I didn't want this either," Gaoyu shrugged.

"Someone just insisted on sending me here. Don't worry, I have no ill will towards Hollows."

"A Shinigami... saying they have no ill will towards Hollows?" Nirggeyendo asked, somewhat astonished.

"Well, you can just think of me as an anomaly among Shinigami. I... dislike killing and love peace."

Gaoyu chuckled softly, "Even in Hueco Mundo, if others don't actively try to kill me, I won't go after Hollows."

"You're quite the oddball."

Seeing this, Nnoitra stopped and turned back around.

"If that's the case, then I have no need to avenge my comrade."

With that, she turned to leave.

"Comrade?" Gaoyu said with interest, "Do Hollows even have a sense of camaraderie? Do you know this Menos Grande?"

He knew a little about Nnoitra. Although Nnoitra was a Hollow, she wasn't the typical 'evil spirit' in the traditional sense.

Among Hollows, she was relatively kind and disliked killing.

Her talk of revenge was probably just an empty threat.

"..." Nnoitra was silent for a moment, then said, "Hollows have their own kingdom. If you don't want to die, you should return to your Soul Society as soon as possible."

Gaoyu thought for a moment, then said, "I see you're an oddball in Hueco Mundo, and I'm an oddball in Soul Society. Since that's the case, why don't we be friends?"

"...?" Nnoitra froze. She said again in astonishment, "You, a Shinigami... want to be friends with a Hollow like me?"

"What's the big deal?" Gaoyu smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you? I don't like fighting. Other people's stances are irrelevant to me, unless it's something I'm interested in."
