With a sudden roar, the eyes of Lucian and Orochimaru lit up.
The Kakuzu Menos Grande was much stronger than the previous three Menos Grande; after all, it had devoured three.
Although it was far from a middle-class Menos Grande, this lower-class Menos Grande had some intelligence!
This was extremely rare even in Hueco Mundo. Lower-class Menos Grande were beasts; those with intelligence were extremely rare.
"Good. You have given me enough surprises..."
Lucian increased the Hōgyoku's energy influence, accelerating the evolution of the Kakuzu Menos Grande.
Quickly, Kakuzu's body could be seen shrinking.
But its spiritual pressure became even stronger!
Slowly, the monstrous body gradually took on a human form!
"Crack!"
The sound of the mask shattering was heard, revealing the face of an ordinary-looking uncle.
He carried a sword on his body.
It was shaped like a Zanpakuto, but it was sealed from the Arrancar's spiritual core!
However, there was a large hole in his body.
"ROAR!!"
The newly born Arrancar let out a ferocious roar, its emotions extremely difficult to control.
"Calm down!"
Lucian's spiritual pressure swept out, instantly suppressing the Arrancar to the ground.
He carefully sensed its power, and Lucian was satisfied.
Although it couldn't control its power and emotions, the experiment had been a success.
An Arrancar, a Shinigamified Hollow, possessed basic abilities such as Sonído (movement), Hierro (defense), Cero (energy attack), and Garganta (isolation).
It also had an ability similar to a Zanpakuto, called a Resurrección.
"This ability... does it represent greed?"
This Arrancar's ability represented greed, similar to the ability of the 9th Espada in the Shinigami anime, Aaroniero Arruruerie.
But the difference in strength was great.
After all, Aaroniero was one of the strongest Arrancar, having devoured more than thirty thousand Hollows.
The symbolic ability: Devour and Fuse!
"This sword..."
Holding the Arrancar's sword, Lucian felt the energy.
Since a ninja's soul could be influenced by the Hōgyoku to become a Hollow, devour and evolve into a Menos Grande, and then become a Shinigami.
Then why couldn't the Quincy cross sword be influenced to become a Zanpakuto?
The more he thought about it, the more it made sense. Lucian was looking forward to the ability of a Zanpakuto.
Because he didn't want his sword to be too ordinary.
"I... I'm alive?"
The Arrancar's confused eyes gradually cleared, and Kakuzu's consciousness reappeared.
He was surprised to find that not only was he alive, but he also had a different kind of energy from chakra.
Many skills subconsciously appeared in his mind, which he could use with practice.
Seeing this, Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you Kakuzu now?"
"If so, His Majesty is here. Kneel and submit."
What a magical experiment.
From a human soul to a monster, and then from a monster to a human form.
And then a new power system.
Every second made Orochimaru feel a sense of novelty.
"..."
When Kakuzu looked up and saw Lucian, his body couldn't help but tremble.
If he had felt that Lucian was extremely powerful before, then in his current Arrancar form, he felt an absolute suffocation.
That insurmountable, huge gap.
Spiritual pressure?
Yes, this word popped up.
Lucian's spiritual pressure was far stronger than his.
"Greetings... Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Wandenreich."
At this, Kakuzu lowered his head.
It seemed he also understood that the source of his power was all given by Lucian.
The power system of the Wandenreich?
But it seemed different from those two brats.
"Remember, you are an Arrancar, a Shinigamified Menos Grande."
"Familiarize yourself with your power and the laws of the empire. You are currently the only Arrancar. For now, join the Holy Legion."
Lucian finished speaking and left.
He also realized once again that the Hōgyoku was different from the one in Shinigami.
It seemed to have recorded all the power systems and abilities in Shinigami.
Not only that.
The Hōgyoku could continuously absorb and record new systems.
For example, the chakra system.
Any life form changed by the influence of the Hōgyoku would be controlled by Lucian.
Simple.
The Quincy were controlled by "Auswählen" in their ability and life.
The Arrancar were controlled by the "Hōgyoku" in their ability and life.
He could strip them of their ability and life at any time!
"Hah..."
Only after Lucian left did Kakuzu take a deep breath.
He felt his power, frowned slightly, and then relaxed.
It seemed... not bad?
Orochimaru chuckled, "Congratulations on joining the Wandenreich. From now on, you will be far from death and pain."
"If I could, hmph..."
Kakuzu didn't say much. He really didn't want to join.
The pressure Lucian gave him was too great, giving him a great lack of security.
However, the pale-faced fellow in front of him... his eyes?
"If it's convenient..."
Orochimaru licked his lips and then said with anticipation.
"Can you let me examine your body?"
"Don't worry, it'll be quick."
The next moment, Orochimaru directly suppressed him with his spiritual pressure without another word.
He pressed him onto the operating table!
Rip, his clothes were torn!
"Let go of me! What are you doing!"
"Ah! Yamete!"
...
As the various nations and villages were preparing congratulatory gifts for the establishment of the new sixth great nation.
The gifts had to be prepared first before being delivered. During this time, apart from Tsunade who was waiting for Konan, Nagato and Yahiko had gone back.
Kushina and Mikoto were rushing across the Land of Fire.
"The sea..."
Upon reaching the coastline of the Land of Fire, Mikoto Uchiha couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
The endless sea once again made Mikoto feel the vastness of the outside world.
The ninja world was too dangerous. Some people had never left their village in their entire lives, let alone their country.
"Is that the Land of Water? It's so close."
Mikoto looked at the faintly visible island, then took out a map.
When she saw the icon marked on the map, Mikoto glanced at Kushina and couldn't help but fall silent.
The Land of Water was far away. What could be seen from the coastline was the Land of Whirlpools!
The country that had been destroyed a few years ago.
