Pain, greed, anger, hunger, fear, despair...
All kinds of noises emerged in Gu Shi's mind, and he couldn't help but stop eating. However, the other Voids around him did not hesitate and immediately bit off large chunks of flesh and blood from his body. If he did not eat quickly to replenish his spiritual power and recover from his injuries, he might be eaten clean by these Voids in a short time.
As a last resort, Gu Shi could only continue to eat hard.
[So that's why Killian is so irrational? The emotions and desires of hundreds of Hollows merged into one, and the overly complex and chaotic consciousness conflicted with each other, eventually leading to an effect similar to a program crash, turning Killian into an idiot.]
[It seems that in the process of devouring, one must stick to one's original intention and not mistake other Hollow's thoughts as one's own.]
[Fortunately, these noises are all negative emotions. Because I lost the negative emotions when I was in a state of virtualization, my body can naturally eliminate these emotions quickly, which allows me to stay optimistic.]
[And I was able to survive in a situation where I was doomed to die. I am in a pretty good mood right now. I don't have to worry about the noise affecting my consciousness in the short term.]
Thinking of this, Gu Shi bit through the empty belly in front of him, leaned his head forward, and actually felt some dry hot wind brushing across his cheek.
【Finally, did you figure it out? 】
At a glance, in addition to the "virtual mountain" where he was, there were actually several "virtual mountains" around that were constantly wriggling.
A little further away, there were a large number of Killians in black robes. These idiots who created the flash rain were almost all injured at this time.
But upon closer inspection, there didn't seem to be Killian's body lying on the ground. It was not known whether he had been eaten by other Killians, or whether the Great Void was too thick-skinned and tough. Even though he was in the center of the Void rainstorm and experienced a huge fight, no Killian died.
Shaking his head and no longer thinking about the group of Killians, Gu Shi turned around and glanced at the group of Xu behind him.
Although the amount of meat he had just eaten was probably three to five times the amount of Gu Shi's own meat, because he was also constantly being eaten by other virtual beings, his injuries had not recovered much. Previously, he had been amputated below the chest, but now he has probably only recovered to the level of amputation below the navel.
After a brief hesitation, Gu Shi turned decisively and plunged back into the feast of eating and being eaten.
Without sufficient power as a guarantee, it would be too difficult to survive in the Hueco Mundo. Now that there is an opportunity to become a great Hollow, even if there is considerable danger, I must seize it quickly.
Otherwise, the next time you are seriously injured and waiting to die, you may not be as lucky as this time.

But! Today I still ask for a wave of recommendation votes and collections~
Chapter 47 Killian
[Wow, I thought it was outrageous to eat hairtail fish before, but I didn’t expect there are jellyfish here? How did these things survive in the surface desert before? ]
[Hmm? There is actually a Tiger Void. It's a pity that the belly grows on the back of the Coyote Void. Otherwise, maybe I can taste the taste of the tiger penis? ]
[This... Is it a donkey or a horse? I can only tell donkeys from horses by the length of their ears. If half of the head is bitten off, I really can't tell.]
While Gu Shi was eating and drinking like crazy in Xu Mountain, he devoted part of his mind to identifying the types of Xu he had eaten. It was not that he had any special hobby.
However, as he devoured more and more voids, the noise that emerged from the bottom of his heart became stronger and stronger. He had to find some fun for himself and keep himself in a good mood so as not to be swallowed up by the greedy and resentful voices of other voids.
In this environment where there is only eating and being eaten, time seems to have become something unimportant. Gu Shi has no idea how long he has been eating. He can only recognize that none of the voids around him can maintain their original independent image.
The wounds of each Xu have grown together with the wounds of other Xu. The "flesh and blood" of the entire Xu Mountain have become a whole. Gu Shi is naturally no exception. He can even see himself through the eyes of other Xu.
At this moment, the group of Voids are not so much devouring other Voids as devouring themselves. In fact, each Void here can be regarded as a section of blood vessels and meridians of the huge individual "Xushan". They are relying on the method of "devouring" to promote the rapid circulation of spiritual power in the body of "Xushan".
Gu Shi could feel that the self-awareness of the "blood vessels and meridians" around him was becoming weaker and weaker. As long as their independent thoughts were completely eliminated, the new Killian would be successfully born. As long as he could hold on until then and retain his complete consciousness, he would be able to successfully become the master of this new body.
[Just hold on for a little longer. ]
Gu Shi secretly encouraged himself in his heart, not daring to slack off at all. He bit the head of a bird next to him and suddenly a piercing pain surged into his heart, as if he had bitten off his own arm.
Having long been accustomed to this kind of pain, Gu Shi joked in his heart that the bird seemed to be bald, and continued to bite the next target.
At this moment, a terrifying feeling of oppression suddenly came from the very nearby side. The spiritual pressure that was like a mountain collapsing made all the Hollows feel suffocated, and their movements slowed down unconsciously.
Gu Shi was inside the virtual mountain and couldn't see what was happening for a moment, but he blinked his eyes and soon connected with a virtual eye outside the virtual mountain through the connection of "flesh and blood" and shared his vision.
I saw that not far from Xu Mountain, where there should have been another Xu Mountain, there was no longer a group of wriggling and roaring Xu creatures. There was only a terrifying big Xu creature wearing a black robe, a clown-like pointed-nosed mask, and at least thirty meters tall.
This newly born Hollow was obviously not the lucky one that retained its self-awareness. It stood there stupidly and swayed for a moment, then followed its instinct, let out a terrifying low growl, and walked towards the Killian group not far away.
[A new Killian has been born, so I should be close to the critical point of evolution. Good news, good news.]
In order to maintain a positive mood, Gu Shi cheered loudly in his heart, and immediately planned to disconnect the visual sharing with the Hollow outside, and continue to concentrate on devouring the group of Hollows around him. But at this moment, there was another terrifying spiritual pressure burst out next to him. Gu Shi blinked and switched to the vision of a Hollow in that direction.
Sure enough, there, another Killian was born, still with a terrifying height of over thirty meters, still covered with a pitch-black robe, and still wearing a pale mask.
However, the masks of ordinary Killian are almost identical, with pointed noses and clowns, but this Killian's mask is not like that. It looks like...
Dog head?
Gu Shi was even more delighted and spoke without thinking.
"Wait till September 8th in autumn!"
Due to the crazy devouring, Gu Shi's body has been "blood-connected" with other virtual beings, and the self-consciousness of other virtual beings has almost completely dissipated. At this time, Gu Shi was very emotional, and when he opened his mouth, he actually led hundreds of virtual beings on the entire virtual mountain to speak at the same time, making roars that seemed to have their own reverberation and chorus.
"Wait until September 8th when autumn comes!" This is clearly a powerful verse, but when it is shouted out simultaneously by hundreds of virtual heads in various tones, it becomes like a prayer for the arrival of a terrifying demon, filled with an evil flavor.
After hearing this line of poetry, Dog-Head Killian continued with the next line without thinking.
"When my flower blooms, all other flowers will die!"
After finishing the poem, Dog-Headed Killian finally reacted. He looked at Xushan in surprise who was still devouring each other, and asked in disbelief.
"Is that you? Gu Shi?"
"Haha, it's me, Erlang. You're not dead after all. Good, good, good!"
Hundreds of virtual beings opened their mouths at the same time, responding to the dog-headed Killian's questions in a shrill or angry voice, and then burst into cheerful laughter.
After waiting for so long, he finally got some really good news. Gu Shi felt happy and laughed heartily. The joy in his heart grew stronger and stronger, gradually overwhelming the noise in his heart and instead flowing into his remaining consciousness.
Finally, when the hundreds of virtual heads on the virtual mountain laughed, the negative emotions such as greed, anger, fear, etc. were completely gone, leaving only the same joy as Gu Shi, a wonderful change occurred spontaneously.
Except for Gu Shi, all the bodies of Xu dissolved out of thin air and turned into a pale surging liquid, carrying Gu Shi to the highest point of Xu Mountain.
At the same time, the liquid produced by the dissolution of hundreds of virtual masks also merged into Gu Shi's mask, causing the brown bear-shaped mask to begin to grow larger. Eventually, it turned into a bone mask that would not look out of place even on a thirty-meter-tall body.
In Gu Shi's perception, his body was getting taller and taller, and his spiritual pressure was getting stronger and stronger. It seemed that as long as he concentrated a little, he could spit out an extremely terrifying flash from his mouth.
Although he had obtained a new body, Gu Shi did not feel any discomfort. He swung his arms casually, feeling the terrifying whistling of his claws cutting through the air, and nodded slightly with joy.
[Finally, I have the basic guarantee to survive in Hueco Mundo. ]
Just as Gu Shi was sighing with emotion, a gigantic dog head that was over 4 meters long came in front of him, grinning with an extremely happy look.
Feeling happy, Gu Shi raised his paw and touched the big head. Although the feeling had changed, Erlang's reaction to being touched was still as familiar as before, with his eyes narrowed and a silly smile on his face.
After pondering Erlang's mind for a while, Gu Shi shifted his gaze and tried to find traces of bats in the virtual mountains that had not yet completed their evolution.
Chapter 48: Great Void Robe
"Let me eat you!"
【What's the point? 】
"Damn it! I will definitely be the one who becomes the Great Hollow in the end!"
[Does Daxu have meaning? 】
"Hehe, why are you all so excited? We are both weak. What's the difference between you eating me and me eating you?"
[It's a bit... boring to keep talking about this. 】
"Delicious! So tasty! This is the first time I've eaten so happily!"
[Is 73 a prime number or a composite number? ]
"Power! I can feel the endless power flowing into my body!"
[I have learned how to calculate the area of a square and a rectangle, but I haven't had time to learn the area formula of a triangle. Now it seems that I have no chance to learn it, so I might as well try to derive it myself.]
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!!"
[Well, the area of a triangle with right angles can be calculated by multiplying the area of the square by half, but there are no right-angled triangles...]
"Such a noise! I'm going to eat you, you stinky bat! Let's see if you can still keep mumbling these incomprehensible things!"
[By the way, you can make an auxiliary line perpendicular to the base and turn a triangle into two right triangles for calculation. ]
"What happened to that guy? Wasn't he going to eat all those bat heads? Why isn't he moving?"
[There is a simplest formula for calculating the area of a square. Can my method of calculating the area of a triangle also be simplified into a formula? ]
“Is 73 a prime or composite number?”
"Wait, weren't you going to eat that bat head? Why are you going crazy too!"
"Assuming the length is 7 and the height is 6, what is the area of this rectangle?"
"How come you also... 42, the area is 42, it's my turn to ask a question."
[Strange? The atmosphere seems to have improved. Everyone is starting to discuss meaningful things? Never mind. It has nothing to do with me. Let’s continue thinking about simplifying the formula.]
……
Gu Shi just took a quick look and soon found the most abnormal one among the remaining four virtual mountains. The virtuals in the other virtual mountains were devouring each other and roaring.
Only the virtual in this virtual mountain was muttering questions like "Xiao Ming's speed is 23 meters per second, Xiao Hong's speed is 15 meters per second, Xiao Hong ran 33 seconds first, how long will it take Xiao Ming to catch up with Xiao Hong?" while slowly gnawing at each other's flesh and blood.
He ate so slowly, just like a young man who was watching TV series on his mobile phone while eating, and he couldn't eat a single bite for a long time.
"...Well, needless to say, if it can become this weird, the bat must be inside."
Gu Shi rolled his eyes, not knowing whether he should be happy that the bat was still alive, or disgusted by the bat's polluting nature, which could drive so many virtual beings crazy along with him.
"However, the spirits of all the Hollows are close to unity. Once the spiritual energy is assimilated in the Great Cycle, the bats should be able to evolve into Killian smoothly."
Gu Shi nodded with satisfaction and decided to stay here to guard the place until the bats completed their evolution.
Jiro, who was standing by, habitually wanted the dog to sit down and scratch his head with his hind paws, but he found that after evolving into Killian, he could no longer do this. He shook his head in annoyance and expressed a different opinion.
"But, Gu Shi, these Voids devour each other so slowly, can they really complete their evolution? Is there no time limit for evolution? Looking at this speed, I always feel that the bats will eventually fail due to overtime evolution."
After becoming a Great Hollow, Erlang's brain seemed to work better. Not only did his thoughts become clearer, but his language expression ability also improved significantly.
After hearing what Erlang said, Gu Shi also became a little worried. He couldn't help but start to consider the feasibility of interrupting the evolution to fish the bat out first, explaining to him clearly the things that he needed to pay attention to in evolution, and then finding another time to help him evolve.
Just as Gu Shi was thinking, behind him, another hollow mountain burst out with astonishing spiritual pressure and successfully evolved into Killian. He glanced at the new lower-level hollow and confirmed that its mask was a pointy-nosed clown, and it was the kind without reason and self-awareness. Gu Shi withdrew his gaze without caring.
This kind of ordinary Killian will soon join the Killian group under the guidance of instinct and become an inconspicuous member of it. There is no need to pay attention to it.
Just as he made a judgment in his mind, Gu Shi suddenly realized that the newborn Killian, after a brief period of confusion, did not walk towards the group of Killians, but moved towards this side.
