Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Hollow
Orochimaru, who had recovered from his shock, looked at Ryujiro with fanaticism in his eyes.
Unbelievable.
He was certain that Ryujiro did not possess the bloodline of the Uchiha clan, yet he activated the Sharingan.
What exactly was that mysterious orb resembling a gem?
Since Orochimaru had met Ryujiro until now, he felt that every aspect Ryujiro showed was just the tip of the iceberg.
Ryujiro touched the corner of his eye.
This power was truly intoxicating.
He closed his eyes and opened them again.
After a while his eyes returned to normal.
However, as time passed, influenced by Hogyoku, even without emotional stimulation, his Sharingan would gradually evolve.
Apart from this, what Ryujiro was more interested in was another ability of the Hogyoku.
If the ability of the Hogyoku was to manipulate the boundary between Shinigami and Hollow, then the Hogyoku itself also had the ability to influence souls, leading to Hollowification.
If he could create Hollows...
Ryujiro wanted to form an army of Arrancars.
But he still needed to experiment.
"Orochimaru, I'll borrow a few subjects from your cell."
The subjects Orochimaru used for experiments were all living people, some of whom were bandits or ruffians, and of course, there were also a few rogue ninjas who had defected from ninja villages.
Entering one of the cells, Ryujiro coldly ended the life of the person inside with a single stroke.
Orochimaru didn't react, looking puzzled. "What are you doing, Ryujiro?"
Although these subjects were not important in his eyes, they were still his personal property.
Feeling the soul, Ryujiro coldly responded, "Just wanted to conduct an experiment."
Experiment?
Before Orochimaru could understand, the next moment, a strange scene made Orochimaru's scalp tingle.
The soul that had not yet dissipated seemed to be affected at this moment, struggling violently with an expression of unbearable pain, emitting a terrifying howl.
Suddenly, at this moment, an invisible chain pierced through the chest of the howling soul, revealing a hollow void in its chest.
The person's soul gradually began to change rapidly.
The ethereal soul gradually turned black, enveloped by black mist.
The pitch-black figure gradually emerged, limbs, facial features, and even a long black tail behind its back.
It's terrifying appearance, like wearing a grotesque mask, exuded a chilling coldness.
"Roar!"
The hollowed soul let out a sharp roar.
This sound was different from that of ordinary beasts, causing many of the subjects to shiver involuntarily upon hearing it.
Orochimaru's face changed drastically as he looked at the black monster before him in horror.
Ordinary people shouldn't be able to see the Hollows.
After all, whether it was Shinigami or Hollow, they were ultimately soul-like existences that ordinary people couldn't see.
Unless they possessed spiritual power or were inherently gifted individuals, they might be able to see them.
"Ryujiro! What exactly is this black monster?" Orochimaru exclaimed in horror.
Ryujiro looked at Orochimaru with astonishment.
Orochimaru could see the Hollows?
What's going on!
Suddenly! At this moment, the irrational Hollow swung its massive arms toward Ryujiro.
The massive force of the Hollow was enough to smash the entire cell.
Ryujiro coldly extended a finger, gathering immense spiritual pressure at his fingertip.
"Hado no. 4, Byakurai."
As he spoke, a dazzling lightning descended, bursting out from Ryujiro's slender fingertip like a roaring silver dragon.
"Boom!"
The Hollow was instantly engulfed in terrifying thunder.
The power of Byakurai was far from over. The wall behind the Hollow also suddenly burst open, creating a large hole.
The entire laboratory kept shaking, as if it could collapse at any moment.
Ryujiro looked indifferent as he glanced at the pierced hole.
Hollowification was indeed possible, but this was just the lowest level of Hollow. For Ryujiro, they were nothing but worthless trash.
The strength of Hollowification should be related to the person's own strength. It was basically impossible for weak Hollows like these to become Arrancars.
At least, they would need Adjuchas-level Grand Hollows to have a chance to become Arrancars, and even then, it was only a possibility.
Orochimaru stood frozen in place, his face pale with shock.
Just now?
Was that Lightning Release?
No!
It couldn't possibly be Lightning Release.
The power of that lightning was different from ordinary Lightning Release, and Orochimaru didn't sense any chakra nature in that strange white lightning.
And what exactly was that black monster!
Why did it suddenly appear? Could it be that the experiment Ryujiro mentioned was this black monster?
"Ryujiro! What exactly is that black monster?"
"Is this the product of your experiment?"
Orochimaru's face twisted with madness as he interrogated Ryujiro regardless of the consequences.
"Hollow."
"A creature mutated from a soul."
A soul mutated creature!
Orochimaru's eyes constricted.
No wonder he felt his soul trembling when facing the Hollow just now.
What kind of terrifying ability are you hiding, Ryujiro, that can manipulate souls?
Hollows can devour each other and evolve, but there was no meaning in having a few people in this cell.
For weak Hollows to evolve into more powerful forms, they would need to devour at least hundreds of their kind.
The existence of Hollows was eternal, and besides Ryujiro, there might be no other means in this world to harm Hollows.
Perhaps the Reaper Death Seal of the Uzumaki clan could affect Hollows.
Of course, the Shinigami of the Reaper Death Seal seemed quite extraordinary.
To create a large number of Hollows, it would require a battlefield or a place of execution.
The soul itself couldn't last long, and even after death, it could only linger briefly.
Orochimaru felt even more fearful of Ryujiro, who could manipulate souls. Perhaps only the legendary Sage of the Six Paths could do such a thing.
Ryujiro was indeed a terrifying person.
The commotion at the base made Sasuke and Kimimaro, who had just returned, their faces changed involuntarily.
Kimimaro, without a word, rushed straight to the laboratory. When he saw Ryujiro there his face suddenly darkened.
"Ten-Finger Drilling Bullets!"
Kimimaro's finger bones shot out like bullets. Not only that, but he also pulled out a horrifying bone from his body and threw it at Ryujiro.
Seeing this scene, Orochimaru, who was stunned, shouted anxiously.
"Kimimaro, stop!"
