What's going on?! Is it true that Jiro and I are a "group" if we stand together?
Feeling a little surprised, Gu Shi and Erlang looked at each other, and they both turned around and sprinted at the same time. Their huge bodies of 30 meters tall were not slow, and they approached the Killian almost instantly.
Erlang opened his big mouth and bit Killian's mouth hard. Killian, who was like a zombie, realized that he was attacked. He instinctively opened his mouth to shoot out a flash to fight back, but Erlang's big mouth bit his mouth. Not to mention shooting out a flash, he couldn't even howl.
At the same time, Gu Shi controlled Killian's claws with his two claws, and bit the neck from behind. After tearing off large pieces of flesh and bones, he had no time to swallow, spit it to the side, and then bit down again.
After a few bites, the newborn Killian's head finally left his neck. Erlang then let go and grabbed Killian's long pointed nose and swung it a few times, as if considering the possibility of using this big head as a hammer. Finally, he threw it aside in disgust.
It's too light, and hitting the enemy might be worse than just biting him.
After a moment's thought, Gu Shi stretched out his claws and began to try to strip Killian's "clothes", wanting to tear off the black robe on the corpse.
Gu Shi originally thought that this "black robe" should be Killian's skin, but it had grown into a shape similar to a black robe. When he was pulling it, he just wanted to give it a try, but after actually getting his hands on it, he found that he only pulled it lightly, and the black robe was easily pulled off.
...can it really be taken off?
Gu Shi shook the black robe in his hand, feeling puzzled, and then he found that the black robe was rapidly turning into spirit particles and dissipating.
[It only lasts when worn on the body, and will dissipate once it leaves the body. This feeling... why does it feel a bit like Kurosaki Ichigo's Death Costume? ]
The Shinigami's work uniform is the Shinigami's work uniform, and its appearance is basically a pure black kimono top and wide-leg pants. To the Shinigami of Soul Society, the Shinigami's uniform is really just a piece of clothing with certain defensive capabilities.
But the protagonist Ichigo Kurosaki's Shinigami suit is different. It is a suit that is automatically transformed by the spiritual power in his body after he completes his transformation into a Shinigami. According to what he said during the conquest of Hueco Mundo, the Shinigami suit can reflect his spiritual power reserves in real time. Once his spiritual power is consumed in large quantities, the Shinigami suit will become tattered and have various holes. As the spiritual power recovers, it will be restored to its original state.
As the protagonist whose birth was arranged by others, Ichigo Kurosaki is a super hybrid, possessing the power of a Shinigami, a Hollow, and a Quincy. His "Death Hegemony Suit" could not be...
It's the Daxu outer robe, right?
Well, that shouldn't be possible. If the Death God had the spiritual power of a Hollow, the other Death Gods would have discovered it long ago. But what's the matter with this similarity?
ps: Speaking of which, Shudra Senjumaru from the Zero Squad is said to be the creator of the Shinigami hagi. Because of this achievement, he was invited to the Zero Squad and became the youngest member of the Zero Squad.
However, Senjumaru was once a member of the Technology Development Bureau, which was established more than a hundred years ago. That means the Death Hatchet was invented only more than a hundred years ago?
But didn’t the Death God before him also wear Death Hegemony Suit? Even the first generation of captains like the old man from the mountain thousand years ago also wore Death Hegemony Suit.
Is this a setting conflict or a departure from the book? Can anyone explain this?
Finally, please vote and collect.
Chapter 49: Treasure? Cub?
Throwing aside the black robe that had mostly disappeared, Gu Shi looked at the stripped headless corpse again and found that there was nothing special about Killian's body.
Overall, it is just a huge human figure with a skinny body, long arms and legs. It does not even have unique organs to distinguish gender. It looks like a crude doll.
Gu Shi was observing when Erlang came over with his mouth wide open.
"Gu Shi, aren't you going to eat? I'm so hungry."
Before Erlang said it, Gu Shi didn't feel anything because of the joy of evolving into a Great Hollow. But as soon as Erlang said it, Gu Shi suddenly realized that he was indeed very hungry.
[That's right. When an ordinary soul first becomes a hollow, it needs to replenish a lot of spiritual power to stabilize its state. It should be the same when it evolves into a great hollow. It must replenish spiritual power.]
Putting aside the idea of continuing to observe, Gu Shi nodded heavily, and used his sharp claws as a machete to cut Killian's body in half from the waist and abdomen.
"Eat half each and hurry up."
As he said that, Gu Shi grabbed half of it and started chewing it vigorously. At the same time, he secretly felt lucky that Killian had a simple body. If there were any unusual structures under the crotch or on the chest of this humanoid corpse, it would be too much of a test for his will to eat it.
[Heh, I finally found a place where eating vaginal fluids is better than eating humans. At least I don’t have to eat other men’s XX and internal fluids. ]
He secretly made a slightly vulgar joke in his heart, and Gu Shi quickly finished the fifteen-meter-long piece of meat in his hand. The intense hunger was slightly relieved, but he still did not feel full, and he could not help but look at the Killian group not far away.
At first glance, Gu Shi was shocked. The large group of at least three hundred Killian Hollows suddenly turned their heads and looked at this side.
Being stared at by three hundred hollows that were no weaker than himself, Gu Shi's heart suddenly tightened.
[What's going on? Are they going to avenge their own kind that was eaten? What a joke! Killian doesn't even have the most basic self-awareness, how could he possibly understand what the same kind and revenge are!? ]
[Is there an Achukas (intermediate level Hollow) around who can control the Killian group? He found that Jiro and I retained our self-awareness, and wanted to kill us in advance to prevent us from continuing to evolve and threatening him? ]
[No, that's not right! Achukas have a fear of degeneration. If they don't eat other Achukas within a certain time limit, they will degenerate back to Killian and will definitely not be able to retain their self-awareness.]
[If I were Achukas and I found Killian who had the potential to evolve, I would definitely cultivate him secretly, and then eat him when he just evolved into Achukas and was still weak to relieve my own degeneration pressure. How could I kill such a precious resource in advance? ]
[Not revenge, not Achucas, so what's going on? ]
For a moment, he couldn't figure out what had gone wrong. Gu Shi was having a headache when he saw that the more than 300 Killians started to move. They were still walking from side to side like idiots, but there was no doubt that they were moving towards this side.
Jilang also sensed the danger, bared his sharp fangs, and let out a threatening growl from his throat.
"Gu Shi, what should we do? Fight or flee?"
How to play two to three hundred?
Shaking his head, Gu Shi turned and rushed towards the imaginary mountain where the bat was hiding. Although he didn't know what had gone wrong, there was no time for the bat to continue evolving, so he had to take him and escape quickly.
After a few steps, he rushed to the edge of the virtual mountain. Gu Shi shouted, "Bat, tell me your location quickly and I'll pick you out!" He raised his claws and was about to tear down the mountain and dig out the bats hiding inside.
However, as soon as Gu Shi raised his claws, he heard Erlang shouting "Danger", and at the same time dozens of terrifying blood-red light beams shot straight towards him.
False flash!
His pupils contracted instantly and Gu Shi fell to the ground as fast as he could. Fortunately, due to Killian's height, the attack paths of those virtual flashes basically hit at a height of 20 to 30 meters above the ground. After Gu Shi lay down, those virtual flashes whizzed past his head and none of them hit his body.
After the terrifying red light faded, Gu Shi quickly got up, feeling a little heavy-hearted. With such a dense attack just now, the virtual mountain where the bat was located probably could not survive. If the bat happened to be at the bottom of the virtual mountain, it might still be able to survive. If it was in the upper part of the virtual mountain, I'm afraid...
His eyes were fixed on the group of Killians that were still approaching, not daring to relax at all. Gu Shi held on to a glimmer of hope and glanced at Xushan behind him out of the corner of his eye.
……Um?
Intact?
After so many virtual flashes just now, not a single one hit it?
So lucky?
With some guesses flashing through his mind, Gu Shi stared closely at the movements of the Killian group. He pulled Erlang who rushed to his side, quickly moved away from the Xushan where the bats were, and moved a few steps to the left.
With a height of thirty meters, Gu Shi only took a few steps and successfully created a considerable distance between himself and Xushan. Looking at the group of Killians at this time, their direction of travel remained unchanged. Their empty eyes were still staring ahead, without even a glance at Gu Shi and Erlang.
[Their target is not me and Erlang, but the virtual mountain of bats? The attack just now was also to prevent me from destroying the virtual mountain? ]
[Back then, that crazy Grim Reaper said that bats were special. Now it seems to be true. Not only is the evolution of a Killian slower than others, but even the group of Killians without self-awareness are attracted to him.]
[I just don't know what these Killians are going to do with the bats. ]
If it were a normal situation, if one virtual being targeted another virtual being, it would definitely be planning to eat the other one, but this was obviously not a normal situation at the moment, and Gu Shi was a little undecided for a moment.
[How about we catch a Killian and try...]
As Gu Shi was thinking, another wave of spiritual pressure surged up next to him. Two of the four virtual mountains were turned into ashes in the virtual flash attack just now. In addition to the virtual mountain where the bat was, the other surviving virtual mountain, at this critical moment, perhaps felt the danger, actually completed its evolution and became a new Killian.
However, this newborn Killian seemed to be somewhat underdeveloped, or "premature", and was much shorter than a normal Killian. He was only over 20 meters tall, less than 25 meters, a real dwarf.
Gu Shi's eyes lit up, and while being alert to the Killian group, he moved quickly, grabbed the new Killian by the neck, and dragged it to the virtual mountain where the bats were, carefully observing its reaction.
If it wanted to eat Xushan, Gu Shi would kill it immediately, and then find a way to fish the bat out and escape. If it just protected Xushan as a treasure, then the danger would naturally be resolved.
Killian, who was caught by Gu Shi, was struggling hard at first. If Erlang hadn't helped to cover his mouth, he would have probably spit out Xu Shan. But after approaching Xushan where the bats were, it suddenly calmed down as if it felt something.
After Gu Shi let go, it didn't even look at Gu Shi. It walked to the side of Xushan with Killian's signature retarded steps, swaying from side to side, and stood there quietly, without any movement.
……
[They actually protected the bat as a treasure? 】
[Wait, it may not be a treasure. Maybe it treated the bat as its cub. By the way, is there such a thing as reproduction? ]

Chapter 50 Shota
"Brother, Brother Yusuke, wait for me!"
The skinny boy, as thin as a piece of firewood, chased after the man with all his might. His eyes and expression were filled with fanatical admiration. Even though the man in front of him had no intention of stopping to wait for him, his enthusiasm did not diminish in the slightest.
On the dirty street, some people holding wooden sticks and machetes were originally staring at the young man who looked like he could break bones with one stick. When they heard him shout out the name "Yusuke", they quickly withdrew their malicious gazes and quietly retreated into the depths of the even dirtier and darker alleys.
The man named Yusuke had only been in Rukongai East 61st District for five or six days and was still a complete newcomer.
Logically speaking, these fresh newcomers should be the most exploited people in the blocks numbered after 50, and should be bullied, beaten, and exploited at will by members of the powerful organizations.
If they are lucky enough and can survive for a period of time and have the opportunity to join an organization, or a group of newcomers gather together to form a new small group, they will have the opportunity to escape the fate of the bottom class and turn to exploit the next batch of newcomers.
But Yusuke was different, completely different. On the first day he arrived here, he easily defeated all the "Wolf Fang" members who tried to capture him as a laborer. There were thirty-seven strong men, eleven knives, and more than twenty sticks, but they couldn't hurt him at all.
From that moment on, people knew that there was another person who could not be provoked in East District 61. Small and medium-sized organizations were full of fear, fearing that Yusuke would come to them. However, large organizations that had been rooted here for many years and had rich experience took the initiative to send people to make friends with Yusuke.
Anyone who has been in Rukongai long enough knows that those guys who are ridiculously powerful must have powerful spiritual powers. It won't be long before they go to the Maou Spiritual Academy and become the almighty God of Death after training.
People like this won't stay in Rukongai for long, so there's no need to worry about them competing with you for territory. Instead of being cautious on guard, it's better to make friends with them early and accumulate a few favors. Even if this favor is insignificant, it's still a relationship with the god of death, and you'll have an extra backer in the future.
This skinny boy is the member sent by the old force "Nobushi" in the East Alley. This boy can be considered lucky. Like Yusuke, he is a pure newcomer. At that time, "Wolf Fang" was planning to capture him as a commodity, and it happened that Yusuke was buried by some death god and appeared next to the boy.
When the unlucky group of "Wolf Fang" saw Yusuke appear, they planned to capture him as well. The result is self-evident. Yusuke easily knocked down all of them, snatched away their best knife, and saved the inexperienced young boy. When he left, he comforted the boy and gave him a knife for self-defense.
Afterwards, because he had some relationship with Yusuke and was still a newcomer with nothing outstanding, he was recruited by the old organization "Nobushi" as an exception. The only task given to him by the boss was to become friends with Yusuke.
The boy already admired his elder brother Yousuke who saved him. Now that he had the opportunity to pursue his idol with public funds, of course he was willing to do it for sure and burst into great enthusiasm.
"Brother Yusuke, do you want some konpeito? Oh, and I have a piece of yokan here. They are all delicious. You can try them."
Quickly catching up with Yusuke, the boy took out a small cloth bag from his arms and opened it carefully, revealing two or three pitifully small candies and a piece of yokan that looked like it had been stored for several days judging by its color. He swallowed unconsciously as he spoke.
Hearing the boy swallowing, Yusuke finally stopped, with a slightly comforting smile on his face, he looked the boy up and down, and asked with a smile.
"You want to eat?"
In Rukongai, especially in the later numbered blocks, "eating" is a very dangerous behavior.
Ordinary souls without spiritual power can survive by drinking water. Only souls with spiritual power and the potential to become gods of death will feel hungry and need to eat.
However, without systematic learning and training, the soul will not be able to mobilize spiritual power even if it has it, let alone use it for combat. In this case, not only will the spiritual power not bring convenience to life, but it will also require frequent searches for food that is extremely rare in Rukongai, further increasing the pressure to survive.
The most important thing is, once those wandering souls who once oppressed them discovered that they could actually eat and had the potential to become gods of death, they would inevitably become afraid, fearing that they would come back to take revenge on themselves after becoming gods of death.
In the end, in order to avoid revenge, the villains who had originally only oppressed them and robbed them of their water would most likely choose to kill them directly to prevent them from coming back to retaliate against themselves.
