Plans to Go to Hueco Mundo

"Your Hollowfication ability might provide some direction for opening up Hueco Mundo."

Aizen's voice was calm.

"The power of Soul Reaper alone cannot tear space apart, but the power of a Hollow can."

"You possess the power of emptiness within you, making you most suitable to lead this matter."

Wang Xun remained silent for a moment.

What do I need to do?

Aizen walked to the other side of the laboratory, where there were several huge sealed containers.

He opened one of them, and inside was sealed a void.

They huddled inside the container, their Reiatsu weak, clearly having been tormented for a long time.

"These virtual objects are experimental subjects I captured."

Aizen looked at those voids.

"You can use them to experiment, to study the principles of the Garganta. Dissect, analyze, test—do whatever you want."

He looked at Wang Xun.

What are your thoughts?

Wang Xun walked to the container and looked at the few phantoms inside.

I will do my best.

Aizen nodded.

"That's good."

He patted Wang Xun on the shoulder.

"This matter isn't urgent; let's take our time."

Late at night, Wang Xun walked alone on his way back to the Fourth Division.

The conversation was still replaying in Wang Xun's mind.

He was entrusted with an important task: to research the technology of the Garganta.

A slight smile curved the corners of Wang Xun's lips.

He remembered his alternate account in Hueco Mundo.

The Hollowfication Reishi he threw into Hueco Mundo has been silently absorbing Hollow particles and growing stronger.

He rarely paid attention to it, only occasionally checking on its condition.

But now, that smaller trumpet has finally come in handy.

Aizen needs to study the Garganta and enter Hueco Mundo.

He has an avatar that is already in Hueco Mundo.

Wang Xun raised his head and looked up at the night sky.

The moonlight was cold and clear, and the stars were sparse.

Wang Xun withdrew his gaze and continued walking forward.

His steps were steady, and his expression was calm, but in his heart, he had already begun to make plans.

The alt account has been in Hueco Mundo for a while now.

Its Hollowfication level has also increased significantly.

Wang Xun can choose an opportunity later to synchronize the experience of this clone back.

Alternatively, it could lie dormant in Hueco Mundo, approaching Aizen in another form to gain more benefits.

Aizen wanted to go to Hueco Mundo, but Wang Xun had already planted a Hueco Mundo trap there.

Perhaps, this clone will ultimately play an unexpected role.

A few days later, in the secret laboratory.

Kaname Tōsen stood in front of the lab bench, holding a document in his hand, his brow furrowed.

He was shocked when he heard Aizen appoint Wang Xun as the leader, while he himself was only in a supporting role.

Although there was no apparent change in his attitude, Wang Xun could sense that he was somewhat taken aback.

Even core projects like the Hueco Mundo Garganta were entrusted to Wang Xun's leadership, indicating that his position in Aizen's heart was gradually being replaced.

But he could only accept it in silence, unable to fight for anything.

After all, he had just created a huge hole.

Now, before him lies Wang Xun's preliminary research report on the Garganta, which he has just completed.

"Are you sure this direction is feasible?"

His voice was low, tinged with a hint of doubt.

Wang Xun nodded.

"The power of a Hollow is instinctive, therefore it doesn't require complex techniques. It only requires mimicking the Reiatsu of a Hollow and bringing its fluctuations to a certain critical point."

Kaname Tōsen was silent for a moment.

"You mean, use the Reiatsu of a Hollow to tear apart space?"

"Right."

Wang Xun walked to the experimental table and looked at the virtual sealed containers.

"These experimental materials are the best samples."

"If we can analyze the patterns of Reiatsu fluctuations when they open their Garganta, we can deduce the method for opening the Garganta in reverse."

"Furthermore, if the simulation succeeds, we can even summon those Menos Grande to create Negación, actively welcoming us to Hueco Mundo."

Kaname Tōsen keep an eye on him.

You are very confident.

Wang Xun smiled.

"It's not about confidence, it's about direction. If you're on the right track, all that's left is time."

39

Kaname Tōsen remained silent.

He put the document down, turned around, and faced away from Wang Xun.

"I have no objection to Lord Aizen putting you in charge of this project. But you must remember, this project is crucial to Lord Aizen's entire plan."

Wang Xun looked at him.

"I know."

Kaname Tōsen was silent for a moment.

"That's good."

He turned and walked towards the door.

Halfway there, we suddenly stopped.

"Wang Xun."

"Um?"

"You've been getting quite close to Lord Aizen lately."

Wang Xun remained silent.

Kaname Tōsen continue.

"I used to do all these things. Experiments, planning, execution... I did it all. Now, Lord Aizen is entrusting these tasks to you."

His voice was calm, but Wang Xun could hear a hint of resentment in it.

"Tōsen, what are you trying to say?"

Kaname Tōsen silent for a long time.

"It's nothing, I just hope you... won't let Lord Aizen down."

He pushed open the door and went out.

Wang Xun stood there, staring at the closed door.

He could sense Kaname Tōsen's dissatisfaction.

But Kaname Tōsen n't react; he just kept it to himself.

Wang Xun withdrew his gaze and continued with his work.

He didn't care about Kaname Tōsen's attitude.

He picked up the technique base plate and continued to inscribe the Reiatsu nodes.

In the distance, in a petri dish, the larva of that creature was slowly wriggling.

[Gained 20 Hollowfication Fragment, Hollowfication Experience +200]

[Hōgyoku Awakening Level +0.05%]

In the evening, Aizen arrived at the laboratory.

He glanced at the report Wang Xun had completed, then at the petri dish, and nodded.

"Good progress."

Then, Aizen spoke again.

"Wang Xun, what are your thoughts on Hueco Mundo?"

Wang Xun thought for a moment.

"A place without rules, where the strong prey on the weak, and only the fittest survive."

Aizen nodded.

"Yes, there are no rules, no constraints; whoever is strong is king."

He turned around and looked at Wang Xun.

"Isn't a place like this Soul Society?"

Wang Xun remained silent for a moment.

"The Soul Society has its problems, Hueco Mundo Soul Society Hueco Mundo problems; no place is perfect."

Aizen looked at him.

"Well said."

Wang Xun remained silent.

Aizen walked back to the lab bench and picked up a document.

"Once the technology for the Garganta is mature, I will personally go to Hueco Mundo, and you will come with me then."

Wang Xun's brow twitched slightly.

"I?"

"Yes," Aizen looked at him, "Your Hollowfication ability will be very useful in Hueco Mundo."

Zhong Wang Xun silent for a moment.

Kaname Tōsen?

Aizen smiled.

He also has his own tasks.

He didn't say much, he just patted Wang Xun on the shoulder.

"Get ready, you'll have more and more responsibilities coming your way."

Wang Xun nodded.

"Clear."

Aizen pushed open the door and went out.

Wang Xun stood there, staring at the closed door, remaining silent for a long time.

He stood in the center of the laboratory, the Hollowfication Fragment still being absorbed by him continuously, his Reiatsu steadily rising, and the awakening level of the Hōgyoku gradually increasing.

The clones in Hueco Mundo await their collaboration, Unohana provides him with support in the Seireitei, and Urahara secretly echoes his sentiments.

All forces are quietly converging.

Wang Xun turned his head and looked at the Hōgyoku in the experimental container, a slight thought stirring in his heart.

This is the real good stuff.
