Chapter 347: Injection of Tier-level Void
Lu Li looked at the people outside the door with a smile on his face, "Sosuke, even though you said that, I'm afraid you've anticipated this situation a long time ago, right?"
Standing outside the door were Nel, Xiao Wu, Stark, and Harribel. Aizen had probably asked Nel to call for help just for this moment.
"Mr. Lu, you also know that I am a cautious person and usually have backup plans. Since I have observed the abnormality hidden deep in your soul, I will take into account the possibility of failure."
Aizen said with a smile that when he observed Lu Li's abnormal 'spiritual particles' before, he found that the 'special spiritual particles' would not devour or harm ordinary non-characteristic spiritual particles, but they were obviously aggressive towards the soul power of alien species.
In order to study the compatibility of Xu and Lu Li, he put in some of Xu's tissue, but it was eaten up by the 'special spirit particles'. The strange thing was that no matter how he observed through the spirit particle microscope, he could not see how the special spirit particles devoured Xu.
And afterwards, he couldn't even detect that special spirit particle.
From that time on, he realized that Lu Li's transformation into virtual reality might not be so smooth. It had nothing to do with his theory and technique of transformation into virtual reality, but that Lu Jun was just too special.
"Hey, Mr. Lu, you called us here, is there something wrong?"
Stark greeted Lu Li with a lazy look and yawned after he finished speaking.
"Everyone, I called you here to help Lu Jun complete the virtualization."
Aizen said, "Unfortunately, our original plan failed. Yachukas was inexplicably devoured by the power in Lu Jun's body. We need a stronger Hollow to help Lu Jun achieve his goal of becoming a Hollow."
After hearing what Aizen said, Harribel frowned slightly but didn't say anything.
Lu Li understood what Aizen meant. He deliberately said it in this way that could be easily misunderstood because he wanted to see the reactions of the Arrancars.
But Lu Li didn't like this kind of temptation, so he said: "Sosuke, do you want to use everyone's power to help you create an artificial hollow?"
Aizen looked at Lu Li with some surprise, "Mr. Lu, you may have the qualifications to be a researcher."
"Come on, I'm just guessing."
Lu Li waved his hands and said that he only made such an assumption because he had a God's perspective.
Aizen smiled and looked at everyone, "As Lu Jun said, Sar Apollo Jun and I have studied the prototype of artificial hollows. Now we want to create an artificial Vastold-class hollow. This requires the help of everyone."
Sal Apollo, who walked down from the upper level of the experimental field, also smiled when he heard this. "Everyone, this is an epic research breakthrough. You should feel honored to be able to participate."
The reason why he was so happy was that artificial Hollows were his original research topic, and he had successfully made artificial Hollows several times. His theory was relatively complete, but this was the first time he tried to make a Vastrod-class Hollow in practice.
It's not like he hadn't thought about it before, but creating a Vastod-level Hollow is not something that can be done by simply condensing countless souls. The Hollows he created using his old method of piling up numbers could only reach the Yachukas level at best, and it would be impossible for them to reach the Vastod level.
According to his theory, if one wants to create an artificial Vastod-level Hollow, regardless of the individual's inner thoughts and self-awareness, just to create an artificial Vastod that meets the energy level requirements, more than five Vastods must be injected with their spiritual pressure to complete it.
Moreover, it is not a simple release of spiritual pressure, but it consumes the "foundation" to inject spiritual pressure. Simply put, the spiritual pressure consumed in this way will be difficult to replenish within a few days, which is a serious loss.
In a chaotic place like Hueco Mundo, it is hard to say whether the Hollows are willing to sacrifice themselves and share their spiritual pressure in a high-risk way.
What's more, he has been studying in Hueco Mundo for so many years, and he only knows that he and Bylergan are Vastod, so this plan has always been regarded as a fantasy by him.
But now it’s different. The Hueco Mundo has been unified, and the five Vastodes, including him, are now under the command of Lu Li and Aizen. This is the best and only chance to verify his experimental theory.
"Sar Apollo-kun, don't get so excited yet. Show the body to everyone."
Aizen ordered.
Sal Apollo was in high spirits and was willing to listen to Aizen's command. He walked to the operating table beside him and unlocked the system. Then the metal floor next to him cracked and a huge transparent cover rose up.
Inside the transparent warehouse, there is a human-shaped white body, which looks a bit like Xiaowu before he became Vastold, but it does not contain any spiritual pressure. It is just an empty shell with virtual characteristics.
"Because Lu Jun's soul is too strong, he has a higher demand for alien souls. I'm afraid that anything other than a Vastod-level Hollow is not enough to guide him to become a Hollow, so we need to create an artificial Vastod."
Aizen walked to the transparent warehouse and explained to everyone, "Everyone, although this is a bit of an excessive request, could you please inject your own spiritual pressure into it?"
"It's really troublesome..."
Stark put his hand on the back of his head and scratched his hair, standing there lazily, "It's none of my business if the artificial Vastod or something gets blown up."
As he spoke, he walked to the side of the quartz cabin. There were five devices surrounding the outside of the quartz cabin, which were obviously the places for injecting spiritual pressure. Apparently, Aizen had already prepared for them to create a Vastrode-class Hollow.
"Li, can this really help you? The power of Vastod injected into your body looks very dangerous."
Nilu was a little worried. She felt that the original injection of Yachukas was terrifying enough, but now Lu Li was still not satisfied and wanted something even more brutal.
"Don't worry, I have a special physique. I'm afraid that even the power of Vastod level will be devoured by me."
Lu Li explained, and thanked everyone first, "Thank you for your help."
"Don't play with fire and get burned."
Harribel said, walking to the position next to Stark and placing her hand on him.
Seeing this, although Nilu was a little worried, she still walked to the quartz cabin and sat next to Harribel.
Xiao Wu took his position without saying a word. Sal Apollo saw that everyone agreed to the plan, excitement written on his face. He walked to the quartz cabin and explained to everyone the key points of injecting spiritual pressure.
To put it simply, all you have to do is inject the spiritual pressure into it, but in actual operation, five people must inject the spiritual pressure at the same time, and the output strength must be controlled the same way, otherwise the different forces will conflict with each other and burst the body before they can be reconciled.
At that time, the power equivalent to that of five Vastod's Void Flashes will erupt in the laboratory, and this is not what Sal Apollo wants to see.
Fortunately, Aizen and he had taken some coordination issues into consideration when they were making this instrument. There are indicators for the graded injection of spiritual pressure on it, which allows people to feel the frequency of the injection in stages and eventually achieve synchronization.
The five Vastodes were able to grow to this point, they were not rough people, they had good control over spiritual pressure, after becoming familiar with the cooperation, they began to inject energy into the body. Aizen was watching and reminding them to prevent any accidents.
Lu Li felt very magical as he watched the artificial Hollow whose power level gradually increased. He guessed that the technology used by Aizen and Sal Apollo might be the same as the way the Gotei 13 in later generations helped Ichigo Kurosaki recover his spiritual pressure.
They all sacrifice a certain amount of their own spiritual pressure in order to condense an overall spiritual pressure that is suitable for the frequency of the target object, and finally infuse it into the target's body, allowing it to gain enormous spiritual pressure.
Similar to the Zanpakutō forged by the Gotei 13, Nel and the others were not simply releasing spiritual pressure, but consuming the essence of spiritual pressure. This was a loss that would take some time to recover, but it was not a permanent loss.
About an hour later, with the exquisite cooperation of everyone, the artificial void in the quartz cabin seemed to be "full". In terms of void, it was now a huge energy collection, definitely with the energy of Vastod level.
It’s just because it is an artificial void, it has no self-awareness, or it has not had time to be born yet.
According to Sal Apollo's theory, after some subsequent operations and debugging, it can slowly give birth to self-awareness. However, what they want now is not a self-aware Vastod, but a tool for Lu Li to use as a virtual energy source.
"Sbarasi, my theory is correct!"
After witnessing the completion of the artificial Vastod, Sal Apollo was very excited. He believed that it was not an exaggeration to call him the greatest scientist in the history of Hueco Mundo.
After the Vastod Arrancar's hands left the instrument, their faces turned pale, and it was obvious that they had consumed a lot of energy.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work everyone."
After confirming the stability of the artificial Hollow, Aizen expressed his condolences to everyone, and then looked at Lu Li, "Mr. Lu, let's proceed to the next step."
"Thank you, everyone. I believe this time it will be successful."
After Lu Li thanked everyone again, he followed Sosuke into the experimental field.
This time, the raw material they injected was a Wa-level Hollow, which was completely different from Achukas. Even for Aizen, it took him a long time to "soften" it using the power of the Hogyoku.
Because they were very interested in Lu Li's virtualization experiment, or perhaps worried about it, Nilu and the others did not leave this time. They stood outside the experimental site with Sal Apollo, watching the results through the reinforced spirit glass.
"Mr. Lu, the energy level of a Vastod-class Hollow is intuitively higher than yours. If you feel that you are losing control, please give me a signal in time."
Before injecting the artificial tile-level hollow, Aizen reminded them seriously that after all, they could not guarantee that the power in Lu Li's body would be absorbed every time.
"Come on, I'm sure."
Lu Li said that he didn't absolutely believe that the strange power in his body would definitely devour him, but he believed in the power of the Chaos Spirit Seed.
The energy level of Wa Ji Xu is certainly beyond his normal state. In fact, in this kind of reception, the power that he has explosively increased is useless.
But he still had the confidence that he could receive it, because this Wa-level virtual had no self-awareness, and would not violently corrode him. Moreover, once it was used on him as a bloodline item, the moment its bloodline was determined, he would place it in the grid of the Chaos Spirit Seed.
By then, regardless of how much the Chaos Spirit Seed can be strengthened through adaptability adjustment, there is no way he will be blown up.
"Focus, I'm going to inject the power of the Hollow."
After Aizen's reminder, he injected the tile-level hollow "paste" into Lu Li's body.
In an instant, the severe pain began to spread from the spine and went straight to the depths of the soul, causing Lu Li's entire body to tense up in pain, almost convulsing.
But his strong self-control kept him conscious, because the power of the Wa-level virtual was much stronger than the previous experimental materials, so Lu Li clearly felt the process of this power dissipating in his body.
Although just like before, he had no idea how the Void's energy was being devoured, due to its size, the devouring process would probably take more than ten seconds to complete.
Taking this opportunity, Lu Li tried to guide this hollow power, and Sosuke also used the Collapsing Jade to help him integrate it.
After rushing for a long time, when half of the power of the Watt-level Void was finally consumed, Lu Li successfully guided out the power of the Void and was able to use it.
At this moment, Xu's power was determined to be a part of his bloodline. Lu Li acted decisively, adjusted it on the menu bar, and pulled it into the Chaos Spirit Seed.
When Xu's power became a part of the Chaos Spirit Seed, the devouring power in Lu Li's body gradually disappeared.
And vaguely, he felt as if there was a voice ringing in the depths of his soul, like a sigh of regret.
After that sound, he also felt a "pulling sensation", as if there were two powerful forces playing tug-of-war in his body, and finally achieved a strange stability, causing the tug-of-war line to hover in the middle.
This time Lu Li was really surprised. He thought that as a legendary spirit seed with only nine existences in the nine spaces, it should be the supreme divine object in the space. Its fundamental power level is extremely high, and there should be no force that can fight against it.
Just like no matter how powerful the bloodline is, it will be easily and instantly tuned after entering the Chaos Spirit Seed. This is just a trivial matter for the mysterious spirit seed.
But the power deep in his soul was actually... competing with the spirit seeds for the energy of virtualization, and it was extremely domineering.
Lu Li even felt that after he placed the virtual power into the Chaos Spirit Seed, the devouring force continued to chase and swallow it for a while, absorbing a little bit of power before entering a balanced state in the tug-of-war.
For a moment, Lu Li really began to doubt who he was, or what the imprisoned demon deep in his soul was.
"Mr. Lu, how are you? Are you feeling unwell?"
The Hollowization guidance experiment ended so quickly. Although it was somewhat expected, Aizen was still very surprised. He observed Lu Li's vital signs through instruments and found no significant increase in spiritual pressure.
So for a moment he didn't know whether it was successful or just like before, the Waji Void in Lu Li's body was swallowed up by the special power.
"It should be successful. I'll try to virtualize it."
Lu Li said after he came back to his senses, and at the same time opened the spirit seed menu to see what the bloodline power obtained under such strange circumstances looked like.
