Under Yusuke Uchiha’s guidance, the Hogyoku emitted an azure light, completely enveloping Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck. This azure light contained strange spiritual particles that steadily permeated Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck’s body.

Yusuke Uchiha could feel the quality of Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck’s spiritual pressure steadily improving—not merely an increase in power, but a fundamental enhancement of her aptitude.

”So, Hollow Arrancarization is essentially a process of inducing latent potential, thereby enhancing aptitude. After Arrancarization, all aspects of their abilities see a dramatic improvement,” Yusuke Uchiha mused, observing Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck’s transformation.

After a short time, the enhancement of Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck’s spiritual pressure ceased, and physical changes began.

The bone armor tightly covering her body gradually receded, revealing her lightly tanned skin beneath.

The mask covering her face began to shrink and shift upwards, revealing a face still slightly cherubic, with a faint blue marking across her cheeks and nose bridge.

The light green hair, previously constrained by the bone armor at the back of her head, cascaded down, transforming her into a beautiful young woman.

Slowly opening her eyes, Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck looked at her hands, now human-like, and broke into a delighted smile.

”This is wonderful! Mirror, mirror, I want to see what I look like!”

Finding a full-length mirror, Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck struck various poses, examining herself from every angle.

Her expression clearly showed her delight with her post-Arrancarization appearance.

Lilynette Gingerbuck and Yachiru Kusajishi, watching Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck’s transformation, also showed surprise and delight; they found this new Nelliel even more charming.

”Yusuke! Thank you!”

Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck threw herself into Yusuke Uchiha’s arms, nuzzling her face against his chest.

Gently patting Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck’s head, Yusuke Uchiha smiled. ”Alright, you can continue playing. I need to Arrancarize the others.”

Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck, Lilynette Gingerbuck, and Yachiru Kusajishi’s eyes lit up; they were eager to watch the others’ transformations.

Following the Espada’s order, Yusuke Uchiha proceeded to Arrancarize each of them and their lieutenants.

Yusuke Uchiha’s plan never involved large-scale Arrancarization of Hollows; even if ordinary Hollows became Arrancars, their contribution would be minimal.

The primary focus was on the executives within Las Noches.

After the Espada’s Arrancarization, excluding Starrk and Ulquiorra, who had already achieved it independently, everyone experienced a significant power increase.

Based on their current combat capabilities, excluding the Captain-Commander, Aizen, and himself, the Espada were now roughly on par with the Gotei 13 captains.

During this period, when Yusuke Uchiha completed the first phase of his Hogyoku research and Arrancarized his subordinates, Aizen’s research progressed to a stage requiring Hueco Mundo’s resources for experimentation.

In Yusuke Uchiha’s eyes, Aizen was a genius beyond comprehension.

At this point, Aizen wasn’t yet a captain, and fearing exposure, he only had Gin Ichimaru and Kaname Tōsen as subordinates.

Despite this, he managed his Gotei 13 duties while independently conducting extensive research, pushing his own abilities to a level unreachable by ordinary Shinigami.

In Aizen’s secret chamber within the Seireitei, he was discussing the next phase of his plan with Tōsen and Ichimaru.

”The Hogyoku research is nearing completion. Now, I need to conduct experiments on Shinigami Hollowfication. This will require numerous Hollows as test subjects—according to the plan, it’s time for us to take Hueco Mundo,” Aizen said with a smile.

Tōsen frowned. ”Shinigami Hollowfication experiments will necessitate sacrificing many Shinigami and souls from Rukongai, won’t they? Isn’t this excessively cruel?”

”Tōsen, are you wavering?” Aizen asked impassively.

Tōsen immediately responded, panicked. ”Aizen-sama, that’s not what I meant; I merely felt some... reluctance.”

Aizen smiled, patting Tōsen on the shoulder.

”Don’t worry, your kindness and faith are precisely what I value in you!

There’s a saying, ’A general’s victory comes at the cost of countless lives.’ We aren’t naive children; we must understand that significant change requires sacrifice.”

Tōsen nodded. ”I understand. For Aizen-sama’s cause, to overthrow the Soul King and Central 46, I will not falter.”

Gin Ichimaru watched coldly as Aizen subtly manipulated Tōsen, inwardly pitying and despising Tōsen’s naiveté.

”Then, which Shinigami do you intend to target?” Gin Ichimaru asked.

Aizen smiled. ”Given the experimental requirements, Shinigami of all levels are naturally our targets.”

A glint flashed in Gin Ichimaru’s narrowed eyes. ”All levels? You mean captains are included?”

Aizen adjusted his glasses. ”Of course. How else can we rise to power and control the Gotei 13’s various divisions if we don’t eliminate several captains?”

Aizen’s strength was unquestionable; his exceptional talent had already made him the second strongest in the Gotei 13, surpassed only by the Captain-Commander, and his subordinates, Ichimaru and Tōsen, both possessed Bankai.

However, with all captain positions currently filled, it prevented the three of them from assuming control of the divisions.

Therefore, Aizen’s plan necessitated eliminating at least three captains, allowing him, Tōsen, and Ichimaru to claim those positions and facilitate their subsequent actions.

Gin Ichimaru chuckled. ”I wonder which captains will be so unfortunate. What about the newcomer, Uchiha Yusuke? As an outsider, any incident involving him would likely attract minimal attention, wouldn’t it?”

His suggestion regarding Uchiha Yusuke was subtly designed to create more trouble for Aizen; his sharp eyes had discerned that Yusuke Uchiha was deeply enigmatic, and even his outwardly displayed strength was already quite formidable.

Hearing Gin Ichimaru’s words, Aizen frowned—a rare occurrence.

After a moment’s consideration, Aizen said slowly, ”We leave him alone. His strength is unfathomable, even to me. It’s unfortunate that I lack trustworthy subordinates; otherwise, I would place someone close to him.”

”Tōsen, you will remain here to provide cover for Gin and me.

This time, only Gin and I will go to Hueco Mundo.”
