"You crossed the line"
Lod said expressionlessly.
Under his seemingly calm tone, there were raging waves, as if they could erupt at any time!
To let a hollow devour whole spirit without any restraint in order to create Adjuchas, this kind of extreme contempt for the values of human individuals, as well as his arbitrary behavior, seriously violated the rules and bottom line he had set.
Lod did not mind using the spirit to cultivate hollow, because the spirit he chose was a person who had committed a grave sin before his death!
It was not an exaggeration to say that out of the hundred people in Hell's Kitchen, at least sixty of them had killed people, and half of the remaining forty were selling drugs, and the other half was ready to commit crimes at any time.
Since it was not as good as that, it was better to let him waste use it.
But what about Haschwalth?
Indulging this Adjuchas devoured all life in the factory except for Kingpin and Frank!
In addition to hundreds of transformed corpses, Spider Gwen, Doctor Octopus, and the ordinary people controlled by the flesh buds in the lab!
And Haschwalth, the only one who could stop it, chose to ignore it in order to create 'Adjuchas'
From a certain point of view, it was.
It was Haschwalth who sped up the process and directly facilitated the birth of the first Adjuchas!
If he did not stop and punish him now, Lod could almost imagine that Haschwalth might do something even crazier!
For example...
Using the lives of a city to create a land of spirits!
Or a mass massacre to create Menos!
Lod had no doubt that Haschwalth could do these things.
So he had to punish him to let Haschwalth understand that unless he had his permission, those things must not be taken half a step further!
It was to establish his might.
It was also to set rules.
There were some things that Lod could indulge them in, but there were some things that could not be overcome at a single step!
...
"This subordinate is willing to accept punishment."
Haschwalth knew that he had made a mistake and had no intention of defending himself. He just hung his head lower.
Apologize, be punished!
It was natural and he did not feel that there was anything wrong.
Instead, it went against the rules set by Lod, making Haschwalth feel guilty in his heart.
"..."
Lod frowned slightly. He was quite conflicted about how to punish Haschwalth.
If it was a verbal punishment, it seemed a little too light, not enough to make Haschwalth remember.
But if it was a heavy punishment, Lod was a little reluctant. After all, it was his own half body. Although it crossed the rules, it was still for his own sake.
It was difficult...
It was too difficult...
At this time, Lod finally experienced the pain of being a superior.
It was simple to say that when it was really implemented, the strength was really difficult to control!
Lod had a headache and his thoughts were scattered. If it was Aizen at this moment, how would he choose to punish his subordinates?
Just as Lod was confused about how to punish him, he saw Haschwalth, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly stand up.
"I know that I have committed a great crime. I don't need you to feel distressed for me. I am willing to solve the punishment by myself." Haschwalth said with a serious look.
The next second.
Before Lod could say anything, Haschwalth pulled out the thin sword at his waist and cut off his own arm with a backhand!
Gush--
One arm was broken at the root, and blood immediately splashed out, but Haschwalth was expressionless and threw the broken arm several meters away.
"Hado #54 - Haien!"
A circular purple flame blasted out from Haschwalth's remaining right hand, directly hitting the broken arm that was still in the air.
Boom!
The broken arm was instantly burned up by the purple flame, turning into a pile of black ashes that drifted in the air.
All of this happened so quickly that even Lod could not react in time.
...
Lod was dumbfounded. He had not expected Haschwalth to be so ruthless. He cut off his own arm in front of him and even used Kido to destroy it!
To cut off his own arm, his strength declined. Haschwalth was very straightforward, but he did not have Limb Repairing Serum now!
After cutting off an arm, Haschwalth once again knelt down on one knee and bowed his head. "Sir, this subordinate cut off an arm as punishment."
So ruthless!
Kingpin, who was kneeling on the side, saw this scene and his eyelids could not help but twitch. When he looked at Lod again, there was a kind of fear in his eyes.
On the other side, a trace of deep fear flashed through Gwen's eyes. She was clearly shocked by this man!
Lod closed his eyes. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "There won't be another time."
It had to be said that having a subordinate like Haschwalth could save him a lot of worry.
Haschwalth's ruthless and decisive actions had planted a seed of awe in the hearts of this person and hollow!
In fact, his actions were equivalent to a "killing the chicken to warn the monkey", warning Kingpin and Gwen, it was best to put away his little thoughts.
There were some things that Lod, who was in charge, could not appear, so he could only do it for this warning.
It was obvious that Kingpin and Gwen understood.
"Yes!"
Haschwalth raised his head, his face slightly pale, but his green eyes were still as bright as the sun.
"How is the progress of the collider?" Lod asked.
Haschwalth glanced at Kingpin, who was kneeling on the ground. The latter very cleverly understood the meaning of it and whispered, "This... Sir, the progress of the collider experiment is about to be completed. It will soon start the second collision experiment!"
Lod stared at Kingpin and asked, "How long will it take?"
"Probably... it will take three more days..." Kingpin wiped the sweat off his forehead and carefully reported a number.
"It's too long." Lod shook his head and said, "I will only give you one day, and then restart the collider."
"One..."
Kingpin was a little hesitant, but when he saw Haschwalth's cold eyes on the side, all the hairs on his body stood up. "No problem, one day, you can definitely restart the collider!"
"Okay."
Lod nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to 'Gwen' and slowly said, "Haschwalth, you have really found me a big trouble."
There was a reason why he said it was trouble and not a surprise.
Although Adjuchas was powerful, this stage was extremely unstable.
They needed to continuously devour their own kind or higher level hollow to evolve, and only then could they maintain their self-consciousness!
Once the process of devouring their own kind was interrupted, then this Adjuchas would retreat into Gillian and lose 100% of his self-consciousness. At the same time, he would never be able to evolve into Adjuchas again!
This process was like sailing against the current, not advancing or retreating!
Once he retreated, what awaited him was a bottomless abyss, a day where he would never be able to turn things around!
Therefore, if he wanted Gwen to maintain her self-consciousness and continue to evolve, Lod need to let her continuously devour souls of the same level. Otherwise, it would be equivalent to falling short of success!
Haschwalth had long understood this, so he thought of a solution in advance: "Sir, we can send it to the war zone. In the short term, we can make up for the quantity. It should be enough to support us for a while."
"No need..."
Lod showed a distressed and helpless look. He said, "I have my ways to solve the problem of Gwen. You don't have to worry about it."
