Hollow?

How in the world did hollows get here? Hollows aren't supposed to exist in this world. Yun Che immediately draws Zangetsu and prepares to fight. He uses his observation mode to pry the hollow's cultivation. Turns out, The hollow had the strength of 7th Level of the Elementary Profound Realm.

The hollow didn't approach him but instead it approach Xiao Kuangyun in front of it. Xiao Kuangyun was screamed loudly. This situation shock Yun Che once more.

"He can see it?" As he remembers, hollows aren't supposed to be seen by mortals. The hollow suddenly grabbed Xiao Kuangyun along with the tree he was tied to.

XIAO CHE, SAVE ME!!! SAVE ME!!! I GIVE YOU MONEY…HUARRGGHH!!!!

The Hollow just toss him in its mouth. Blood spurt out as he was munched and crushed to death in the hollow's mouth.

Crunch…crunch…crunch

"Wow, poor guy, poor bastard." Yun Che actually felt pity for him. That guy just being munched to death. That was even worse than having a beauty like Jasmine ends his life. Well, that's the death of he deserved.

Back to real issue. Hollows usually chased remnant souls who stayed behind and never harm living beings. Instead, they are able to be seen by them. The hollow's aura suddenly increased after eating Xiao Kuangyun. Its aura increased to 9th Level of the Elementary profound Realm.

"Looks like the hollow gain strength after eating that poor bastard. How did they get to this world?" As Yun Che was thinking, the hollow suddenly change its direction towards him. It was trying to grab Yun Che in once swift motion.

Roooaaarrrr…

"Hmph, trying to eat me huh?" Yun Che flash step avoiding its grip. "Getsuga Tenshou!!!" Yun Che fires a moon fang directly to its mask. His swift sword attack sliced the hollow's mask in half before it fell to the ground. The hollows body disintegrates leaving nothing behind. The difference in strength was too much for the hollow.

Yun Che looked at the location where the hollow fell just now. "What is going on around here?" As he was thinking, Jasmine suddenly appeared next to him. She was shocked after sensing a sinister aura came from here. This aura is not the same as demon beast or devils. It's weak but it carries evil aura around it. The same aura Yun Che used before.

"What is going on here? What is that thing?" Jasmine asks him after seeing the whole event unfold.

Sheathing his sword, he replied. "That thing is a hollow."

"Hollow?" She was confused. She never heard of such thing even in the Realm of the Gods.

"Hollows are Shinigami's nemesis in our world. Hollow cultivates spirit force just like us. When a human died, the souls are supposed to passed to the afterlife but there are souls who unwilling to pass. These souls are called remnant souls. These souls usually have unfinished business or vengeance. When these souls are exposed to contaminated spirit force or evil energy, they transform into a creature known as Hollows." Yun Che explained to her based on his knowledge gained from his previous world.

From the anime 'Bleach' to be exact.

"Hollows, can they cultivate as well?" As they talk, Jasmine was walking alongside Yun Che in the forest.

"Hollows usually have pure instinct and the desire to become even stronger. Basically, they're the same as demonic beast. The strong devours the weak. However, they are literally applying it. To become stronger, hollows usually search for remnant souls to eat them but I was quite shock after seeing this one. Usually, Hollows can only be seen by someone who has divine sense or shinigamis, but Xiao Kuangyun can see it clearly just now. Hollow doesn't harm mortals in our world but that thing literally eats the poor bastard just now. It seems that hollows have found new nourishment in this world. They eat stronger beings to absorb their vitality and ignore the weaker beings. The stronger the vitality the stronger they will become. After absorbing the vitality of a human, they attain physical form, making them vulnerable to human attacks."

"So, they eat cultivators to become stronger?"

"Hmm, yes. They usually eat souls but this one is different. They tend to ignore those who are weak in their eyes and focuses on the strong."

"This hollow, are there any limits of how strong a hollow can be? Are they able to cultivate like demon beasts?"

"Let me think, sort of. This one is a normal hollow though. They come in different shape and sizes. Let's just assume they are they are the only bunches in the living world." Yun Che was hoping for the later. He didn't hope for Menos or Gilians started to appear in this world.

"System, any information on the Hollow's Cultivation?" Yun Che asked the system in his head

[Ding…System has analysed the hollow from before and attain understanding on the hollow's cultivation.]

Mortal Realm

Elementary Profound Realm – True Profound Realm (Normal Hollows)

- As hollows consume practitioner and demon beast of the Blue Pole Star, they can absorb their cultivation and vitality. However, their intelligence is limited by pure instinct and attain physical form. They can be easily defeated by mortals.

Spirit Profound Realm – Earth Profound Realm (Menos)

- When Hollow broken through to the Spirit Profound Realm, their body will undergo a transformation and transform their body into larger form known as Menos or Lesser Great Hollow. These hollows can eat another Menos to steal their cultivation or stronger profound beast and cultivators.

Sky Profound Realm – Emperor Profound Realm (Gilians)

- After breaking through, Menos's mask will undergo a transformation once they consume enough Menos. They will be known as Gilians and these Gilians will gained basic intelligence to survive during battle.

Tyrant Profound Realm – Sovereign Profound Realm (Adjuchas)

- When Gilians broken through, their body will compress to any non-human form they desire. The forms are known as Adjuchas or Intermediate Great Hollow. These beings will gain intelligence comparable to a human. These hollows are strong enough to challenge any powerhouses around the continent as long as their strength is sufficient..

Divine Realm

Divine Origin – Divine Spirit (Vastolorde)

After absorbing origin energy, Adjuchas can transform themselves into humanoid version of the Adjuchas's form known as Vasto Lorde or Greater Great Hollow. However, their strength will undergo an evolution and transforming themselves capable of challenging Divine beings.

Divine King – Divine Master (Humanoid Vasto lorde)

Humanoid Vastolorde are Vastolorde that can transform into a human similar to high ranked Demonic Beast. These beings are capable of being a ruler of the realm as long as strength is sufficient.

Since hollows arrived in this world, these things are capable on evolving on their own without the help of Aizen. Thank god Arrancar didn't exist in this world because Arrancar are Vasto Lordes with Shinigami powers. Since Aizen didn't use the Hogyuku in this world so Arrancar are out of the picture. However, these hollows can still evolved into a human form if they reach Divine King. Basically, the hollows are the same as demon beast. Gaining intelligence and ability to transform once their powers had suffice. He had to keep this in mind.

So, do they have any weakness? Jasmine didn't know about the ranks of hollows. She might figure them out one day.

"Since they are vulnerable to physical attacks by humans, they can be killed as long as they aim at its mask. If the mask breaks, the hollow will die immediately. I am sure those powerful cultivators can kill them."

He didn't know how long the Garganta was opened and how many Hollows have flocked into the world. If mortals can easily defeated them, they're basically same as demonic beast.

Yun Che and Jasmine finally arrived at their cave after a short introduction about Hollows to her.

"System, do you any information of Hollows in this world." Yun Che asked the system from his mind.

[Ding…Scan complete.]

[System has detected an unusual energy is in the air. The energy seems to originate from somewhere far from Profound Sky Continent. System has detected a Garganta opened somewhere in this world.]

He was confused. A Garganta wasn't supposed to open in this world. To attract those from Hueco Mundo, they only interested if that world is full of spirit power. This world is only full of profound energy. Maybe it can serve as a substitute?

"Where did they come from?" Jasmine asked him again. Jasmine seems to be interested in his previous world though. She wanted to learn new things aside from the Realm of the Gods. If Yun Che looked at her, she looked like a school girl willing to do anything just to learn.

Yun Che looked at her seriously at said,

"The Blue Pole Star and The Realm of the Gods are just part of a single realm though. They are still the Realm of the Living. Hollows came from a dimension between the living world and the afterlife. That realm is known as The Realm of the Hollows or Hueco Mundo. Hollows came from that realm and able to enter any living world they desire.

"Have you been in there? The Realm of the Hollows?" She asked him.

Yun Che shook his head. He heard about it from Bleach but he doesn't actually know how the realm actually looks like in this world.

"Oh, really. I thought a Soul Reaper can come and go as they please into that realm."

"No, hollows have their own way of conjuring the portal and besides, mortal can't survive in there." So even if she wants to go, she can't even survived in there.

Nodding in understanding, she tried to change the subject. "Yun Che, I've noticed something from that hollow before. It has this sinister energy different from devils and Divine cultivators. I detected the same energy came from you."

His eyes were widening after he heard that statement. "She knows about the hollow mode?"

"Are you hiding something from me? Your Master?" Jasmine looked at him seriously as if she was demanding him to tell her his secrets.

He looked at her and sigh internally. If he's not going to tell her, she will not trust him anymore.

"Sigh, very well. You met Hoyuu countless of times right? Hoyuu is one of my spirits but he is actually a Hollowfied Spirit. A spirit that can transform itself into a Hollow. Sometimes, I borrow his powers to increase my strength. Well, don't underestimate him. That's all I can tell you."

"Why?Can Hoyuu really surpass me at full power?" Jasmine couldn't believe that arrogant foul mouth white thing can easily surpass her.

"I don't know the extent of his power. But if he really takes over me with using his full power, I am really sure he can destroy everything within 3 minutes."Yun Che wasn't bluffing. He remembers Ichigo when he uses Full Hollow Mode with Ulquirra and Kokuto. What will happen if he were to unleash that mode in Profound Sky Continent?

"Hmph, I'll make sure he knows his place. Anyway, have you kill everyone that Xiao bastard recruit? I really prefer you kill all of your opponents rather than leaving them alive."

"Of course I did. i don't leave loose ends." Speaking of loose ends, he started to remember all the loose ends the real Yun Che let loose. That guy is really dumb though. He never learns that leaving his opponent alive might bite his ass one day. There's one guy though. He remembered his name being Fen Juechen. Well, he did protect Lingxi though but the current him?

Nah..Screw him. He just kill him and change the whole course of the story. This not the previous Yun Che timeline, this is his timeline. He will the one who's going to fuck it up.

Wait, hold the phone.

That Fen guy protect Lingxi because of a shitty general in invading the Floating Cloud City. Why was that general there again? He suddenly remembers something….

"OF COURSE !!!!" he suddenly yelled.

*smack. Jasmine suddenly smacked his head due to his sudden action. "What's wrong with you? Suddenly yelling like that."

"Haha, sorry about that? I suddenly remembered something though. Remember you asked me about you need about thirty-five kilos of Purple God Veined Crystals? " Yun Che said while rubbing his head.

"Yeah, I need it to construct my body though. Why?"

"I know where we can find more than thirty-five kilos of those things." Yun Che shows his grin to Jasmine and she just showed him a puzzled expression.
