Chapter 627 - Welcome Your Excellency to the Hollow Society!
Human World.
Just when Orochimaru and Sosuke Aizen in the Hueco Mundo thought they could calculate each other, Uehara Naraku and a group of Shinigami with different ident.i.ties arrived in the Human World.
The Human World in Bleach World has a modern atmosphere. Here, Uehara finally came into contact with the convenience of modern urban life again.
Uehara held a can of c.o.ke and stood in front of the checkout counter of a supermarket, digging through his pockets, trying to get money out of it…
It was a bit of a pity.
The person who helped him prepare the clothes did not help him prepare the money.
Until the supermarket cashier looked at the sunny young man with a face full of contempt and no longer waited for Uehara to pay. She took the c.o.ke and waved her hand to let the poor Uehara get out immediately…
This was really embarra.s.sing.
Fortunately, at this time, a figure appeared next to Uehara and helped him pay the bill, which made Uehara look less miserable…
When they were in a secluded place, the figure’s body gradually changed into a black and white appearance. It smiled sinisterly, “Hohohoho… I thought you would kill her… Hagoromo… has really become magnanimous…”
It was Black Zetsu.
Or to be exact, it was a combination of Black Zetsu, White Zetsu, and a Hollow.
Compared to the other world, Black Zetsu had finally obtained his own power. It could use Shinigami’s power, and it could also use Hollow power.
Similarly, it also obtained Yami Yami no Mi(Dark-Dark Fruit)’s power!
This will created by Otsutsuki Kaguya could merge with any species and become an a.s.sistant for Uehara to obtain any information in the world.
Hearing Black Zetsu’s slightly dissatisfied mockery, Uehara shook his head. He opened the c.o.ke in his hand and slowly said, “There is no need to care about some small things. I am not a bad person…”
“Hohohoho…”
Black Zetsu just laugh and did not say anything.
Uehara raised his head and took a sip of the c.o.ke. He nodded in satisfaction and turned to look at the black and white figure, “How is Hueco Mundo?”
“Everything is as you arranged.”
Black Zetsu reported to Uehara in a gloomy voice about Hueco Mundo’s current situation, “That little brat Sosuke Aizen has already formulated the Forest of Menos Crush Plan against Orochimaru…”
After saying that, the smile on this figure’s face became even more strange, as if it had seen something interesting that it could not suppress. “Hohohoho… however, Orochimaru has also obtained all the Forest of Menos Crush Plan details…”
“And then?”
Uehara opened another can of c.o.ke.
“Then the most interesting thing happened…”
The smile on Black Zetsu’s face became more and more strange. Even the laughter in his throat could not be restrained, “Sosuke Aizen does not think that the Forest of Menos Crush Plan will succeed. He seems to have other ideas. As you arranged, Sosuke Aizen suspects that Orochimaru is the one who has been monitoring him all this time…”
When he spoke of this matter, Black Zetsu even somewhat admired Uehara’s vile nature, “It’s really too much. Hohohoho… When Sosuke Aizen might discover that someone is watching him, let me appear in Orochimaru’s snake molt…”
This was really too embarra.s.sing.
In order for Sosuke Aizen to focus all his attention on Orochimaru at this time, Uehara had already arranged all of this.
After Sosuke Aizen’s super strong reiatsu awakened, Black Zetsu began to secretly frame Orochimaru, letting Sosuke Aizen occasionally discover Orochimaru’s snake molt…
If that was the case…
Sosuke Aizen’s gaze would definitely be firmly fixed on Orochimaru’s body.
In fact, it was precisely because of this that after Sosuke Aizen found out about Orochimaru’s whereabouts in Hueco Mundo, he immediately tried to solve this problem because Sosuke Aizen believed that Orochimaru was the person who had been monitoring him since he was a child!
Such a nightmarish character…
How could Sosuke Aizen let him go?
Compared to others, Orochimaru would definitely attract Sosuke Aizen’s attention more easily, and it would also provide a little convenience for Orochimaru to enter Sosuke Aizen’s camp in the future…
“Yes.”
Uehara nodded slowly. Looking at the setting sun in the distance, he said softly, “We don’t need to go too far… After their battle is over, tell Orochimaru about this. At least explain my intentions, so that he won’t be unhappy…”
Uehara chuckled and continued to explain, “If you tell Orochimaru now, perhaps he would not be able to accept being made a scapegoat in his heart, right? When the matter is over, his acceptance ability will definitely rise a little…”
“…”
Black Zetsu’s expression was a little strange.
Did this person think about it when he said those words?
After so many worlds, other than Konan, Kaguya, and Nagato, who else would become happy when they meet you?
And did this person forget what he did to Orochimaru?
He had clearly already tormented Orochimaru in the Ninja World, and now, he even put the blame on Orochimaru’s head for monitoring Sosuke Aizen in this world…
And…
What do you mean he can accept it after it happens?
No one can accept this kind of thing…
To be honest, Black Zetsu thought that they should have discussed this matter with Orochimaru earlier. If Orochimaru did not agree, they should beat him up…
There was no such thing as directly taking the blame!
This kind of behavior was worse than forcing people to accept arrangements!
It was really…
It was not a matter of conduct at all.
Black Zetsu still overestimated Uehara.
Uehara slowly finished drinking the c.o.ke in his hand and suddenly turned around to continue, “Oh right, after your business in Hueco Mundo is over. If you have nothing else to do, you can learn…”
“Um… what to study?”
“Learn a bit of modern knowledge…”
Uehara raised his hand and threw the can into the trash can. He narrowed his eyes at Black Zetsu and revealed a sunny smile, “For example, what should I do to make a supermarket go bankrupt? As for the experimental subject, let’s choose the one where we bought the c.o.ke just now!”
“…”
Black Zetsu seemed to be unable to look straight at Uehara.
I really should have let my mother come over to take care of her eldest son. Can Uehara still do it… Why is he so petty…
In vain it thought that Uehara had changed…
Yes.
He had indeed changed.
His heart became smaller.
It was just that destroying a supermarket was an insignificant matter. In comparison, the collision between Sosuke Aizen and Orochimaru on Hueco Mundo’s side was a real big deal.
Because this time…
Many secrets would be leaked through Orochimaru!
Even though these secrets were actually deliberately leaked to Sosuke Aizen.
Forest of Menos.
When Sosuke Aizen led Tosen Kaname, Ichimaru Gin, Ulquiorra, and Coyote Starrk here, a group of Arrancar were welcoming their arrival.
“Lord Aizen.”
An Arranca stood in front of Sosuke Aizen and the others and said softly, “Lord Orochimaru asked me to welcome you. Please follow us into the underground world.”
“… Okay.”
Sosuke Aizen push up his gla.s.ses and nodded.
Since he conquered Hueco Mundo’s surface, Sosuke Aizen had never paid attention to the underground. He always thought that the underground was a desolate place.
However, as he followed the Arrancar forward, Sosuke Aizen discovered that this place had indeed gradually become a society. Under the control of a group of Adjuchas-cla.s.s Menos, hordes of Gillian-cla.s.s Menos were working here…
It looked like…
They were still the lowest slave in society.
Because it was very difficult for Gillian to awaken any will, they could only become the most inferior tools. Perhaps, after Orochimaru’s fusion experiment was completely popularized, these Gillian would not be of any use.
“This graduation exam will last for about ten days…”
The Arrancar, who was leading the way in front, led the way while softly introducing this special exam to Sosuke Aizen and the others, “All new Arrancar will partic.i.p.ate. Currently, there are 180 of them…”
“180?”
Sosuke Aizen frowned slightly.
This number was a bit beyond his imagination.
Because Arrancar, who had taken human form was very difficult to form, but in exchange, the danger was far beyond the difficulty of Shinigami Hollowfication. This made Arrancar more precious.
However, Orochimaru was only doing an examination…
He could actually take out one hundred and eighty Arrancar!
This number was really not low at all, but he doesn’t know how many Adjuchas-cla.s.s Menos and Vasto Lorde-cla.s.s Menos would be in it…
However…
Soon, there was an introduction.
“There are only eleven Adjuchas-cla.s.s Menos partic.i.p.ating in this exam. The rest are all Gillian-cla.s.s Menos test subjects, who have recently been cultivated by Lord Orochimaru. Previously, the Gillian-cla.s.s Menos experiment had not been successful and only last month did we have a breakthrough…”
It was because of this that Hollow Society had a chance to become a true society because Gillian has the most number in the Hollow population in Hueco Mundo.
If it was just the rare Adjuchas and the even rarer Vasto Lorde, it was still far from enough to develop into a new social species…
As the Arrancar who was leading the way said this, he suddenly chuckled, “However, those Gillian’s strength is not that weak… To be chosen by Lord Orochimaru as a test subject… none of them are weak.”
“They were… chosen by Orochimaru?”
A smile flashed across Sosuke Aizen’s face.
This sentence sounded really… interesting!
The person that Orochimaru picked…
It really made people curious…
How did Orochimaru choose?
The Arrancar, who was leading the way, did not notice anything wrong with Aizen. He continued to introduce the Arrancar graduation exam to Sosuke Aizen.
The entire exam was divided into three rounds.
The first round was a written exam. This exam was to determine whether Arrancar’s intelligence and mentality were normal, this written exam was not as simple as they had imagined!
Or…
This was a particularly strict exam.
Compared to the last two rounds, the difficulty of the written exam was far higher.
Because once one was eliminated in the written exam…
That meant that the eliminated Menos would be a failed test subject, and will determine their future fate. This is also a kind of survival of the fittest!
After all, what Orochimaru wanted to cultivate was a normal Arrancar army that could listen to commands, or even a brand new species, and not a lunatic army!
If Arrancar intelligence and psychology were not qualified enough they can only be included in the ranks of inferior products. Only those who are mentally and psychologically qualified were eligible to enter the next round…
The location of the second round was in the Forest of Menos.
The entire underground Forest of Menos was not completely conquered by Orochimaru because there would be an endless stream of souls entering Hueco Mundo and turning into Hollow. This was a h.e.l.l that would never be conquered!
The content of the exam was very simple.
A group of Arrancar who had pa.s.sed the first round would be divided into two-man teams, and they would s.n.a.t.c.h the scrolls in the hands of the same team who had also partic.i.p.ated in the exam in the dangerous Forest of Menos!
Because the members of the Akatsuki Organization were a two-man team…
This could also be considered to be a reserve force for Akatsuki Organization.
As for the third round.
Of course, it was an individual battle.
Whether it was cooperation or something else, only strength was the true eternal topic. Only with powerful strength could there be value in existence!
The third round would not deliberately care about the outcome.
According to Orochimaru’s att.i.tude, he would definitely hope that a batch of outstanding Arrancar would appear, and not a group of tools that would only release Cero.
After listening to the contents of the three examinations that Orochimaru had arranged, Sosuke Aizen felt that something was strange. Speaking of which, Orochimaru seemed to have done quite well…
If there were more and more new Arrancar in the future…
It was even very likely that they would form a huge new society. It seemed that they could do more of these examinations and change Hueco Mundo’s current situation of survival of the fittest.
As the master of Hueco Mundo…
It would be good if they could make Hueco Mundo as prosperous as Soul Society.
“We are here.”
Along with the Arrancar’s words, they stopped. The group finally arrived at their destination, a tall tower located in the Forest of Menos.
This tower had obviously been built for a long time.
It was just that it had never been used before.
Other than Arrancar’s graduation exam, they would not appear here. Most of the time, they would only stay in Orochimaru’s underground base, training. Perhaps only Arrancar’s graduation exam could be considered a grand occasion for them.
Sosuke Aizen slowly raised his head and looked at the hundreds of oddly-shaped Arrancar near the tower. These were all Arrancar that Orochimaru had cultivated…
The number was indeed shocking!
As expected of a person who had been hiding in Hueco Mundo for thousands of years. This was something that Aizen could not help but admire.
However, Aizen still could not tell how Orochimaru did it. Was he using the legendary Hogyoku… or was he using some other method…
Just as Sosuke Aizen was still pondering, a burst of sinister and strange laughter suddenly sounded in his ears, “Hehehehe… The real is never on the surface… Welcome your excellency to the Hollow Society.”
