After some casual conversation, they arrived at Aozaki Reiji's temporary laboratory.
At this moment, the entire laboratory was filled with a solemn and serious atmosphere.
Aozaki Reiji and his subordinate Arrancar and Menos Grande were all gathered there, standing around the room.
Harribel, who was slightly higher in status than the other Arrancar and referred to as a "companion," sat quietly beside Aozaki Reiji.
Aozaki Reiji slowly stood up and walked towards the spiritual particle membrane in front of him.
Within the spiritual particle membrane, a figure tightly wrapped in bandages was kneeling, though one could still vaguely discern its human outline.
Aozaki Reiji raised his hand and extended his finger into the spiritual particle membrane.
In an instant, a dazzling layer of white Reiatsu emanated from his fingertip, its brilliant white light causing the surrounding observers to squint their eyes.
With a crisp sound, like shattering glass, the spiritual particle membrane covering the person suddenly burst apart.
The bandages that had originally wrapped around the figure also shattered like fragile porcelain.
Amidst the shattered fragments and debris on the ground, a man wearing a half-mask knelt on both knees, his hands slowly hanging down.
"Welcome back, my companion, Ulquiorra!"
The corner of Aozaki Reiji's mouth lifted slightly, a sincere smile gracing his face.
He gently extended his palm towards the man in front of him.
Ulquiorra Cifer, who had been promoted to a "companion," slowly raised his head.
His eyes, somewhat dazed and empty, stared directly at Aozaki Reiji's outstretched hand.
"Lori, give him the clothes."
Aozaki Reiji chuckled softly, withdrew his hand, and said casually.
"Yes!" Lori quickly responded.
Hearing Aozaki Reiji call her name, Lori hurriedly ran over, holding a set of snow-white clothes and trousers in her arms.
In a short while, Ulquiorra had changed into his new clothes and trousers, completely refreshed.
A Zanpakuto named Murciélago hung at his waist, and his posture was as straight as a pine, making him appear handsome and dashing, truly a slender, aloof handsome man.
However, despite his extraordinary appearance, when he stood beside Aozaki Reiji, he seemed unremarkable.
Therefore, everyone's attention was more focused on his mask, which was the mark of an Arrancar.
Aozaki Reiji meticulously examined Ulquiorra, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
Ulquiorra's Reiatsu in his human form was almost the same as when he was a half-Arrancar, at the level of ordinary Second Class Reiatsu, slightly lower than Harribel's.
As for his other abilities, they would require further testing to ascertain.
"You may go out first; I will personally test your strength later."
"Yes, Lord Reiji!"
Ulquiorra nodded slightly, showing no resistance to Aozaki Reiji's command.
Before stepping out of the laboratory, he did not forget to cast a glance at Harribel, who was not far away.
He knew that it would be her turn to undergo Arrancarization next.
Recalling his own experience of becoming an Arrancar.
He thoughtfully nodded, as if he had already understood something.
Although he did not know why he had to avoid such a thing, he still unhesitatingly chose to obey Aozaki Reiji's instructions.
"I believe everyone has witnessed the state Ulquiorra exhibited just now."
"Even a Vasto Lorde can achieve perfect Arrancarization."
Aozaki Reiji said in a lowered voice.
For a moment, the entire scene fell into a brief silence.
Subsequently, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of Sung-Sun, Apacci, and Mila Rose.
"Harribel, come to my side. I will now conduct the Arrancarization experiment for you. Once you successfully complete Arrancarization, you will gain even greater power!"
Aozaki Reiji's gaze slowly swept over everyone present, finally resting on Harribel, and he spoke in an encouraging and expectant tone:
"I eagerly anticipate this moment, and I believe you, Harribel, do as well. Let us witness this moment together!"
Harribel met his gaze, her eyes revealing an unwavering determination, as if conveying a silent promise to him.
Then, she nodded forcefully, indicating that she was ready.
The many women present exchanged smiles, each with different thoughts in their hearts.
Sung-Sun, Apacci, and Mila Rose sincerely hoped that Harribel would continue to grow and become stronger.
As for Lori and Menoly, their concerns were more about their own safety.
Although Lori and Menoly were captured as experimental guinea pigs, they had to admit that Arrancarization had led them into a whole new, higher realm of life.
However, accompanying this evolution was not only an increase in power but also immense risk.
Because in Las Noches, there was a terrifying and mad scientist hidden away.
Once this mad scientist discovered the existence of Arrancar, it was highly likely that he would personally take action and capture them to continue cruel experiments.
According to Harribel, this mad scientist was not only ruthless but also one of the strongest Vasto Lorde at the pinnacle, his strength unfathomable.
They all knew that Aozaki Reiji would not stay in Hueco Mundo for long; he often went out and was frequently untraceable.
This made them feel somewhat helpless and fearful when facing potential threats.
Harribel had now become their Big Sister.
If Harribel could successfully achieve Arrancarization, then even after Aozaki Reiji left, their safety would be reliably guaranteed.
However, Harribel did not smile.
She lowered her head and gently stroked her chest, feeling the accelerated heartbeat there.
"During the Arrancarization process, I will use special white cloth to wrap your body and set up a spiritual particle membrane around you to stabilize your own spiritual particles, while also preventing external spiritual particles from causing interference during your evolution."
Aozaki Reiji explained in detail, then added in a joking tone:
"I wonder if you're afraid of the dark? If you are, don't worry, I'll be by your side the whole time."
"Come on."
Harribel seemed to have made up her mind long ago; without hesitation, she immediately held her breath and concentrated, waiting intently.
Allowing Aozaki Reiji to manipulate her body.
Strips of white cloth woven from special spiritual particles wrapped around her body like agile snakes, layer after layer, completely encasing her.
The top of the laboratory began to glow, and spherical devices emitted several scattered spiritual particle rays.
Forming a transparent, glass-like polygonal barrier around her, isolating external spiritual particles.
Aozaki Reiji felt the Hōgyoku in his chest, extended his finger towards Harribel's forehead, and then the same light that appeared during Ulquiorra's Arrancarization burst forth.
