Today, Hueco Mundo appeared extraordinarily unusual compared to its usual state.
The bright moon cast a soft glow, the pure white sand was as soft as silk, small Hollows scurried through the underground forest, and a gentle breeze slowly swept through...
All of this formed a unique and mysterious picture.
However, the most striking sight was the woman before him, named Harribel.
Her beauty was astonishing, so much so that Aozaki Reiji found it hard to tear his gaze away.
"Harribel, I'm here to help you!"
Aozaki Reiji looked down at Harribel, who was kneeling on the ground.
His gaze fell upon her heart, tightly encased by a shattered Hollow mask, and his expression became somewhat peculiar.
As a Vasto Lorde-class Hollow, one of Hueco Mundo's top existences, Harribel herself exuded a noble aura, like that of a queen, inspiring awe.
Yet at this moment, she knelt naked on the ground, her former majesty gone, replaced by a tragic and broken feeling, like a queen of a fallen nation.
This scene infuriated Aozaki Reiji, and a strong urge to utterly take advantage of her surged within him.
His gaze involuntarily shifted to the location of Harribel's Hollow hole in her lower abdomen.
Aozaki Reiji gently extended his arm, placing his hand on Harribel's shoulder, and a warm, powerful sensation passed through.
Harribel couldn't help but tremble; she felt the scorching aura emanating from Aozaki Reiji, as if it would melt her.
A large mask covered half of her face down to her chest, so her facial expression was hidden.
But her earlobes instantly flushed, and her heartbeat involuntarily quickened, revealing her current state of mind.
When she was a Hollow, Harribel hadn't paid much attention to this Shinigami's appearance.
But now, she suddenly realized that this man's looks were unexpectedly attractive...
She gently shook her head.
No, actually, even as a Hollow, she thought this man was very handsome.
Now, looking at him again after becoming an Arrancar, she found his charm seemed even greater than before.
Her gaze was deeply drawn, unable to move even an inch, as she quietly stared, unconsciously swallowing a mouthful of saliva.
The many female Arrancar around them watched the two without surprise, seemingly unastonished by the scene before them.
They had also gone through similar phases; when they first became Arrancar, they had the same feelings as Harribel.
Even in the depths of their hearts, that violent nature inherent to Hollows made them feel a restless urge to push Aozaki Reiji down.
Fortunately, after becoming Arrancar, they regained human rationality, which allowed them to barely suppress the primal impulses sparked by desire.
Nevertheless, this impulse still existed in some corner of their hearts, merely concealed by reason.
Aozaki Reiji was unaware of their true thoughts.
If he had known, he would have sincerely wished for the women to be happy and joyful, and would not have made them suppress their emotions so difficultly.
"Get up; we still have tests waiting for us."
Aozaki Reiji sighed deeply.
He slowly helped up the future queen of Hueco Mundo, a hint of helplessness and regret flashing in his eyes, somewhat disappointed that he couldn't do more.
"I have to say, Harribel really is like a queen. How about we just depose that Old Man Baraggan later and make you the new King of Hueco Mundo?"
Aozaki Reiji's lips curved slightly into a gentle smile.
He carefully helped the blonde beauty before him put on her white crop top and long pants, speaking in a joking manner.
Upon hearing this, Harribel's face flushed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.
Her eyes became exceptionally serious:
"I do not wish to rule Hueco Mundo, nor do I have sufficient ability to rule the Hollows. The one with the ability should be the ruler."
As she spoke, her earlobes still bore a faint blush, as if she was still immersed in their recent intimate contact.
Recalling their first encounter more than half a year ago, an indescribable emotion welled up in Harribel's heart.
At that time, as a top-tier Vasto Lorde, she never would have imagined that she would develop feelings for a Shinigami.
This feeling was both strange and new to her, leaving her utterly perplexed.
However, fate is truly wondrous.
Despite her internal conflict and struggle, Harribel could not escape the feelings emanating from the depths of her heart.
And during this time, Aozaki Reiji's intentions were almost completely unconcealed.
One must know that she hadn't become an Arrancar back then; while a Vasto Lorde might appear similar to a human, she was essentially still a Hollow!
Yet this man, a Shinigami, truly didn't care at all!!
Over the past six months, her relationship with Aozaki Reiji had grown increasingly close, and everyone often recalled the thrilling battle scenes.
Each memory filled her with lingering fear.
That fierce battle almost made her lose her dear sisters forever.
Even her own life was nearly lost in that vast and boundless desert.
Looking back now, all the events experienced over the past six months felt like a bizarre and fantastical dream.
It was dizzying and unbelievable.
Not only did she survive, but she also evolved into an Arrancar, gaining even greater power to protect her sisters.
It was simply like a dream!
At this moment, Harribel's emotions grew even more complex.
In this chaotic world, she didn't know what the future would hold.
She could only silently pray that the battles always accompanied by sacrifice would never happen again, and that these peaceful, happy days could continue forever.
And once Harribel was fully dressed, Aozaki Reiji carefully helped her slowly rise, then softly asked:
"Do you want to test your strength now, or wait for an opportunity later?"
Her spiritual power was abundant, and her breathing was steady, so why did she seem so weak?
Ulquiorra didn't show such weakness after becoming an Arrancar. Could it be because she gave up her super-regeneration?
Aozaki Reiji was completely baffled.
But seeing the beautiful woman in his arms seemingly having difficulty even standing, he felt both puzzled and a surge of affection, so he continued to persuade her:
"Given your current condition, perhaps you should rest for a while and make plans once your body has recovered. We have plenty of time, there's no need to rush."
However, Harribel shook her head firmly, refusing: "No, let's do it today."
Before her words even finished, she suddenly gave a forceful shake of her shoulders and straightened her body with a 'whoosh'.
The swiftness of her movement made Aozaki Reiji, who was beside her, momentarily stunned.
He had to admit, this woman was quite strong-willed, but the change shouldn't be this drastic. She's truly a simple girl, too transparent...
Aozaki Reiji helplessly pursed his lips, a twitch appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Then he turned to Loly beside him, nodded, and instructed:
"In that case, Loly, go inform Ulquiorra and tell him to also go to the surface."
