Hollow is mostly performed on Shinigami.
With Kurotsuchi Mayuri's research level and his understanding of Shinigami, it is enough to easily grasp the rhythm of this experiment.
But Arrancar of Hollows, just a threshold of Adjucha made Kurotsuchi Mayuri a little bit numb.
The weaker Adjucha is okay, but the stronger ones' Reiatsu is comparable to his, or even surpasses his.
In this way, the risk in the experiment is too much.
Accidents can happen at any time.
Among those present, only Shendu was strong enough to suppress those restless Adjucha.
At the urging of Szayelaporro, a Hollow in orangutan form stops outside the lab.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Facing Shendu's gaze, this guy was obviously shy.
"Volunteers selected from 3,900 Adjucha," Szayelaporro suppressed his impatience. "This guy is an absolutely loyal fanatic, and he is willing to sacrifice everything for His Majesty Shendu, even his life."
Shendu didn't say much, just nodded approvingly.
The gorilla lay down on the operating table with an excited face, waiting for the experiment to begin.
Under the gaze of everyone, Shendu's posture changed slightly.
The blood red in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by pure and deep black.
Where no one else could see, the dragon pendant around his neck also disappeared, as if it had merged into his flesh and blood.
The overwhelming Reiatsu in his body instantly calmed down, like a calm lake.
"Even if I have seen it many times, I still can't understand this scene," Kurotsuchi Mayuri's eyes lit up, and his expression became extremely excited, as if he had witnessed the truth.
"The transition from Hollow to Shinigami is so natural, without any stagnation. Even all kinds of testing instruments can't detect the features that should be there in the slightest."
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never believe it..."
The power of the Monkey Talisman.
Shendu began to discover the power of this Talisman long after the war with Baraggan was over.
The power of deformation—allowing the bearer to transform any being into any animal.
From a literal explanation, it seems to be just a shape-shifting ability without any power at all.
From a combat level, this thing is not even as powerful as a Ox Talisman.
After all, changing any form of existence is only changing the form, and the energy and cognition contained in it will not change at will.
But Shendu discovered the most wonderful usage of the Monkey Talisman.
Since the Monkey Talisman can change the form to a demon, is it possible that the form of Hollows is also included?
And Shinigami...
So, he tried changing from Vasto Lorde to Shinigami.
The dragon pendant that symbolized his mask disappeared, and the bloody eyes also disappeared.
Reiatsu, which was supposed to be full of tyrannical atmosphere, transformed into peace and tranquility, without the slightest hint of mania.
Although he had expected it in his heart, Shendu was still a little surprised after successfully converting to Shinigami.
He had been a Hollow for hundreds of years, and he was used to his previous posture.
But the development and application of the Monkey Talisman gave birth to countless ideas in his mind.
The orangutan Hollow looked dumbfounded, having no idea what was going on.
No hesitation.
While the Hollow was still dazed, Shendu pressed one hand on his chest.
The power of the Sheep Talisman merged with Shinigami Reiatsu.
Immediately, the eyes of the orangutan Hollow lost their light, as if they were empty.
His soul was directly drawn out by Shendu, and his own Reiatsu was poured into it.
When placing the soul into its body again, mutations began.
The flesh as strong as iron started to squirm, and a large amount of white bone oozed from the pores in liquid form.
This degree of Arrancar seems very similar to Shinigami's Hollow process.
The orangutan Hollow howled, the deafening sound enough to tear the eardrums of ordinary people.
Terrifying power burst from his body, his arms twisting as tendons writhed like serpents.
Ultimate pain devoured his rationality, fully unleashing his Hollow nature.
The orangutan Hollow twisted his body, trying to break free from Shendu's restraint.
But Shendu, with one hand on his chest, held him firmly in place.
From start to finish, Shendu's feet never moved.
Since becoming an Arrancar, the power of his dragon body had skyrocketed. Combined with the power of the Ox Talisman, not even Shendu himself knew the full extent of his strength.
He felt it would be simple to kill an Adjucha with a single punch.
As for his full strength...
Shendu shook his head and turned his attention back to the orangutan Hollow.
The mania ended, the pain subsided, and the gushing white bone ceased.
The burly body, originally a few meters tall, compressed to just over two meters.
A mask resembling an orangutan skull now adorned his head.
His fists, covered with armor-like white bones, seemed to serve as weapons akin to Zanpakutō.
The Arrancar in the experimental stage was a success.
"Take this guy out and prepare for the next one," Shendu ordered, signaling Lumina and Bellona to carry the unconscious orangutan Hollow away.
In fact, he should have been awake, but Shendu used a bit too much strength when pressing his hand, breaking the guy's sternum.
"Scientific experiments require many trials to identify mistakes and shortcomings," Kurotsuchi Mayuri praised unabashedly.
"Even the guy hiding in the Soul Society tested on wandering souls among civilians before attempting Hollow on captains."
One by one, Adjucha lay on the operating table with fanaticism, following Szayelaporro's command.
Success, success, failure, success, success...
Arrancar was not perfect. Some died from Reiatsu conflicts due to excessive Shinigami Reiatsu intake. Others failed due to the peculiarities of their souls.
Failure rates hovered around 10%.
Until...
"Maybe try another Hollow," he said, looking outside the lab.
A tall, slender figure appeared at the door.
"Harribel..."
