Chapter 326 Evolution, the correct use of Wood Release
"Personally, I think there's no way I can convince him in any sense, right?"
Lu Li said, stroking his chin.
Lu Li's words made Sal Apollo nervous for a moment. He said with a practiced fake smile on his face: "Mr. Lu, you are joking. You killed the man who was once the king of Hueco Mundo. You are the new ruler of Hueco Mundo. How dare I disobey you?"
"You don't have to do that to me. You and I just need to maintain a relationship of interest. My strength is not enough to completely subdue you, but your true partner will make you humble again."
Lu Li said that he knew people like Sal Apollo had a lot of tricks up their sleeves, but he didn't care.
Anyway, as long as Stark and the others are on his side, Sal Apollo will never dare to be hostile to him. As for fooling him, he is not the inspector of the research results anyway, and Sosuke will educate Sal Apollo well.
"A true partner? Is it the Grim Reaper friend that Mr. Lu mentioned earlier?"
Sal Apollo was very interested, and wondered what kind of god of death would want to cooperate with Xu on research.
"Well, you'll like him."
Lu Li said with a smile, believing that Aizen would take good care of the pink-haired girl in front of him.
While they were talking, there was a noise coming from the other side. It was Nel's somewhat painful voice and Ulquiorra's low roar.
Lu Li walked over quickly and found that Xiao Wu and Ni Lu had both changed after absorbing Bylergan's power respectively.
Ulquiorra's face, which originally only had two eyes, was tightened by the white mask, like an elastic plastic film covering a person's face, and as it tightened, its clear facial features were revealed.
He and Nilu already had the qualifications to evolve to the Vastod level. Now, after days of hunting and devouring, with the power of Bylergan, a Vastod-level Hollow, they have crossed that threshold and started to evolve towards Vastod, making the final transformation.
The process of evolution is always painful. Even someone as calm as Little Crow could not help but let out a low growl of pain, grabbing his face with both hands, as if he wanted to peel off his mask.
Lu Li reached out and grabbed Xiao Wu's wrist, "Hold on until the transformation is complete."
The same thing happened to Nilu on the other side. During the evolution, her lower body underwent obvious changes. The original antelope body was constantly twisting and shrinking, and she was suffering greater pain than Xiaowu.
She kept writhing around, even trying to cut off her lower body.
Seeing this, Lu Li could only ask Stark to attack with him, using powerful spiritual pressure to hold down Nilu. At the same time, he looked at Stark and Harribel in confusion, "Is it the same when you evolved to Vastold?"
"I can't remember clearly."
Stark shook his head and said that he had been Varstrode a long time ago, wandering alone in Hueco Mundo and forgetting what happened when he was Achucas.
"It is a bit painful, but the change is not too big. They may have devoured Bylergan beyond their level, which is why the transformation is so drastic."
Harribel analyzed that she had evolved into Vastod only in the past hundred years, so she remembered her transformation process very clearly.
"Don't make such a fuss. Bylergan's power is just too strong for them. Since they are in the process of transformation, there will be no accidents. At most, it will be a little painful."
Sar Apollo came over and looked at Nilu and Xiaowu who were undergoing transformation with great interest. He took out an injection from his body and said, "I can also help them reduce their pain."
Lu Li glanced at the suspicious injection in Sal Apollo's hand and shook his head, "Thank you for your kindness, but I'd better keep it for myself."
Sal Apollo shrugged. "It seems that I am really not trusted. The new medicine I developed is obviously very effective."
After a while of wailing, Xiao Wu was the first to complete the transformation. The mask on his face was completely hidden under his skin, but this was not a hollow, but just a natural change of evolution.
The little blackbird that has evolved to the Vastold level does not look much different from the little blackbird after breaking its mask in the original work, except that the helmet-like thing on its head has changed from half-coverage to full-coverage, and there are two horns on it.
Well... in terms of fashion value, Lu Li felt that this was a failed evolution.
After all, if it is a single-sided mask helmet, Xiao Wu will look very fashionable. If it has one on both sides, it will be like a pot cover on top, and look a bit silly.
Fortunately, he still has room for improvement. After Sosuke creates the Hogyoku, he can let Kou and the others perform Hollowing. By then, the new form will be closer to humans.
"Is this... the power of Vastod?"
After Xiao Wu stood up, he touched the hollow space in his chest, feeling the powerful force in his body, and felt a little confused.
He evolved into Vastod, but he felt that he had not gained anything except strength.
What exactly is the heart?
“This is your power.”
Lu Li corrected, looking at Xiao Wu's eyes, and added: "And you don't need to be confused. Strength cannot fill the void in your heart. You already have the things that can fill it. When you wake up, you will naturally understand what the heart is."
Xiao Wu listened to Lu Li's words, and although he was confused, he still nodded, feeling that he seemed to have grasped some key.
On the other hand, Nilu's changes are bigger, so they last longer.
After the panting and shouting that could not be broadcast to the public stopped, Ni Lu stood up from the ground, sweating all over, took the large clothes handed to her by Lu Li and said thank you, "Thank you, I'm fine."
After she put on the robe-like coat, it concealed her graceful figure. Compared with Xiao Wu, who only saw the change in his face, the changes she had after her evolution were huge.
The lower body of the antelope completely disappeared, and was transformed into a pair of slender human legs. Naturally, it could no longer be exposed to the air. Even with Nilu's thick nerves, she would feel a little shy.
Nilu moved her hands and feet, and her slender legs were faintly visible under her robe. The skin of the newly formed parts was translucent, and had a delicate beauty. But in fact, as a Vastold-class Hollow, her steel skin was very hard.
Looking at her new body, Nilu's heart leaped with joy. As a hollow who was moving closer to being human in rationality, she naturally hoped that her appearance would be further away from animalistic features.
After evolving to the Vastod level, she will no longer need to devour her own kind. Even if she does nothing, she doesn't have to worry about degenerating and losing herself.
At this moment, those Chaos Space Explorers who had fled in the distance before the war, felt the two new powerful spiritual pressures and gasped.
"There are five Vastods here. Who dares to confront him head-on?"
"This world experience is outrageous. It's only been a month since we arrived, and our Hueco Mundo has been breached?"
"We can only give up the Xuye Palace and move to the Great Xu Forest. We can make as much money as we can with the remaining time."
"I don't want to fight that god of death. Even Zhen Gu would be killed without a complete body."
"..."
Amidst the whispers of discussion, the explorers of the Chaos Space dispersed one by one, abandoning the base of the Xuye Palace. Lu Li's observation Haki clearly knew that there were still a group of Chaos Space explorers watching the battle, but he had no intention of hunting them down.
Since the other party had retreated before the battle and didn't want to be hostile to him, he had no interest in chasing after him and killing him.
The only violator in Hueco Mundo is Masatoshi, and his mission in Hueco Mundo has basically been completed. After the reconstruction of Hueco-Yoya Palace and Sosuke's Happy Laboratory are completed, he can consider returning to Soul Society.
At present, he thinks that his Ghostly Tribute is just a rough "fusion monster". In fact, there are still some areas that can be improved. He needs to exchange ideas with other people in the Soul Society and draw inspiration.
"Li, how are you going to rebuild Xuye Palace?"
Nilu asked curiously. After this great battle, the original ruins of Xuye Palace were almost destroyed.
Originally, Xuye Palace was a place for Bylergan to entertain himself. It was very desolate. The only place called the main hall by Bylergan was an open-air building. The rest of the place was ruins buried in gray sand.
Even in such a dilapidated place, it had suffered the baptism of Stark's infinite virtual flash, the erosion of Bylergan's aging breath, and Lu Li's domineering chopped knife. It can be said that this place was basically flattened.
"It's not difficult. I'm actually quite good at building a house."
Lu Li grinned and looked at Sal Apollo again, "Where do you want to build your laboratory? How big does it need to be? I can help you with the shape first, and you can place and decorate the equipment yourself later."
"Is it up to me?"
Sal Apollo became interested.
"You plan first, and I'll take a look."
Lu Li nodded.
Upon hearing this, Sal Apollo waved his hand, and the long strip behind him moved, and the pink spiritual pressure drew an area on the ground.
"Hey, Sal Apollo, don't go too far."
Heribel said in a bad tone. She already had a lot of dissatisfaction with Sal Apollo, and she was even more dissatisfied this time.
Because the line drawn by Sal Apollo actually encompassed the entire size of the Xuye Palace.
"Mr. Lu told me to order it at will. How can a woman like you who only has muscles in her head understand the importance of scientific research? I would still think the lab is too small even if it is twice as big."
Sar Apollo was extremely persistent in the field of scientific research, and he had a strong confrontation with Harribel.
Harribel was not good at talking, and when she got angry, her spiritual pressure exploded, and she was about to take direct action.
"Don't quarrel."
Lu Li spoke up, put one hand on Harribel's shoulder, and looked at Sal Apollo, "The size of the laboratory is no problem, I can build it, but you have to apologize to Harribel first."
Sar Apollo wanted to refute, but seeing Lu Li's serious expression, he took back what he was about to say, stepped back very gentlemanly, and said politely, "Ms. Heribel, I apologize for what I said before."
Seeing this, Heribel snorted coldly and retracted the spiritual pressure she released from her body. She didn't forgive Sal Apollo for his rude words, she just wanted to give Lu Li face.
"Alright, we are going to rule Hueco Mundo together, so don't quarrel or fight each other."
Lu Li has begun to feel the difficulty of managing problem children. It is a pity that Sosuke in the future has the absolute strength to subdue the heroes. Otherwise, with the personalities of the Ten Espada, they would start fighting each other the next day if no one is watching.
Fortunately, the Hollows around him are all Vastod, and they are all relatively rational. Only Sal Apollo has a weird personality and is not sociable, but he gets along well with others.
As he spoke, Lu Li looked at the line drawn by Sal Apollo again, "You said it would be better if the laboratory was twice as big, right?"
"Of course, but this is a huge project, and I'm not someone who doesn't know how to consider the whole picture."
As Sal Apollo said this, he glanced at Heribel, his meaning was obvious.
"Then build it twice the size. Don't worry about the area. The original Xuye Palace was too small. After reconstruction, it will naturally have to be the size of a royal palace."
As Lu Li spoke, he activated various states and raised his attributes to the highest level under the surprised gazes of the crowd.
Then he clapped his hands, "Wood Release. Tree World Arrives!"
As the earth trembled, the sea of sand was separated by rows of trees. These trees twisted and squeezed the sand, emptying an area and condensing it into the foundation.
Afterwards, the trees grew rapidly, and under Lu Li's manipulation, they turned into a giant building twice the size of the area drawn by Sal Apollo.
The five Vastodes looked at the huge building rising from the ground in amazement. Sal Apollo's eyes lit up and he shouted "Sbarasi!"
"How high will it be? How will the top be constructed? How will the large internal area be divided?"
While casting the spell, Lu Li asked Sar Apollo, this is their core laboratory in Hueco Mundo, it is not just for Sar Apollo to use, Aizen will also patronize it, so naturally the bigger the better, and it must also conform to the rationality of the laboratory's layout.
"Please Mr. Lu divide the area according to the trajectory of my spiritual pressure."
Seeing Lu Li asking, Sal Apollo didn't bother to marvel at Lu Li's miraculous ability, but just excitedly used the pink spiritual pressure beam to guide Lu Li to carry out partition construction.
This was not the first time that Lu Li used Wood Release. He had tried it many times in this space. Because he had a sage body, although his level was not high, he could also control Wood Release with ease. It's just that his Wood Release was not as strong as that of the first generation Hokage.
And in his temporary state, his mental attributes are extremely high and his soul source is abundant, so it is not difficult for him to create a huge building.
These Wood Release buildings are very different from ordinary wooden houses. In terms of sturdiness, they are not inferior to most stone houses.
Soon, under the guidance of Sal Apollo, Lu Li completed the planning and construction of the laboratory.
"Huh... Let me rest for a while, then I'll build the Xuye Palace outside."
Lu Li took a breath. The consumption of soul energy for such a large-scale construction was secondary. The handling and manipulation of various details was extremely exhausting.
Now that he has conquered Bylergan, he is the de facto ruler of Hueco Mundo. After that, as long as he rebuilds Hueco Mundo and builds up the research base, his mission in Hueco Mundo will be completed.
He didn't know what the progress was with Sosuke, but he couldn't wait to go back to Soul Society after being away for so long.
