Chapter 6 Experiment

[Garganta: The Garganta is a featureless black void, connecting Hueco Mundo to other worlds. Due to its nature, the Garganta can be used to access any realm.]

[Spiritual Pressure: A physical force/pressure that a person's have, the more larger spirit energy stored in the soul the more powerful the spiritual pressure is.]

[Negación: A square beam which engulfs the target in a towering beam of light, completely isolating them from the dimension they are currently in. This makes it impossible to harm them from outside the impenetrable pillar. They would get transfer into the menus forest once it was use. It's only one-time use, but with its data stored within Great Sage, you can use this unlimited times.]

Let's say evolving into menus was overpowered those abilities would give me a great advantage against a fight.

Say, "Great Sage," how many hollows do I need to eat to evolve more?

[Answer: You needed to wait for a whole 30 years to further evolve the current species, and it would speed up once you devour 3,000 hollows.]

That much, I know that there's a bunch of hollow here, but it would take a while for me to devour a lot of them.

[Report: Devouring a Menos-type hollow would give you a hundred count.]

[And devouring a higher level species of Hollow would give you a 500 count if my calculations are correct.]

Nice, now the only problem I have is my size. Can I change my size?

[Report: Unique skill "Great Sage" created a new common skill "Size Change."]

My new size-changing ability proved useful. I could now revert to my original size, although I needed to work on controlling my strength. Each jump sent me soaring into the sky.

I should learn to control my strength. Now, my spiritual sense can see a powerful being watching me while giggling. I decided to use my "Escape" ability to teleport to a random location in the menus forest. I needed to devour numerous Gillian/Menos to continue evolving and grow stronger.

I arrived in the forest filled with large trees made of a silvery quartz substance. These trees extend to the surface and dot the landscape of the desert.

Once I finish looking around I decided to explored the Menos forest, searching for hollow creatures to devour. 

Now, the skills I have been given me an advantage in battles. With each encounter with Menos, I grew more powerful, and my spiritual pressure became more potent.

Fight, devour, fight, devour, and grow stronger. That's the only thing I did here.

As I roamed through the forest, I sensed the presence of powerful beings nearby. They were different from the ordinary hollows I had encountered so far. 

I decided to use my "Concealment" skill to hide my presence and observe them from a safe distance.

Among the towering quartz-like trees of the Menos forest, I spotted a group of Menos Grande. They were much larger and more menacing than the others I had seen before. 

Their spiritual pressure was overwhelming, but I couldn't help but feel tempted to challenge them.

"Great Sage, what can you tell me about those Menos Grande?" I inquired, trying to gather information before making a decision.

[Answer: Menos Grande are higher-level hollows known for their immense power and size. Engaging them in battle without proper preparation is risky. It is recommended to devour then as you are more powerful than them.]

The Menos Grande creatures were unusually strong, even surpassing others in the area.

Using my heightened spiritual sense and accelerated thoughts, I predicted their movements and attacked with my "Corrosion Cero" and "Cero," swiftly annihilating them and leaving behind a puddle of black goo.

After devouring them, I decided, continuing my exploration in the Menos forest, determined to grow stronger.

(Harribel pov)

Watching the adorable giant Menos growing larger, I couldn't help but giggle at his reaction when he accidentally destroyed his newly created home. 

However, what surprised me even more was that he was stronger than the ancient Menos.

Ancient Menos were already stronger than regular Menos, having existed for thousands of years without evolving into higher-level Hollows. 

For him to surpass them meant that he had the potential to become even more powerful than a Vasto Lorde if he evolved into an Adjucha.

While I continued observing the slime, I was taken aback when he used Negación. Negación was an ability that wouldn't normally work in Hueco Mundo, yet he used it effortlessly. 

It was clear that he was a genius for manipulating powerful abilities.

As soon as he departed, I sprinted towards the Menos forest, reaching it in no time thanks to my incredible speed. 

Scanning the area, I discovered the cute slime devouring the remains of the ancient Menos. I could sense that he was on the verge of evolving into an Adjucha sooner or later.

Now that I think about it where's his mask? And hole?

_ _ _

In that moment, Aron was engrossed in devouring a multitude of Menos, when suddenly, two peculiar individuals materialized before him. One had a physique reminiscent of a gorilla, while the other bore a lizard-like appearance, each adorned with unique masks.

"I don't understand why Lord Barragan arranged for us to observe the movements of these lower beings," grumbled the gorilla-like creature, gesticulating towards the numerous Menos.

The lizard shot a stern glare at the gorilla. "If you don't quiet down, Lord Barragan might killed you, and I'll get dragged into it as well."

Undeterred, the gorilla continued to scrutinize the Menos until something caught his eye. It was an unusual, small orb-like entity, bouncing around the area and swiftly dispatching Menos.

"This one is mine!" the gorilla exclaimed excitedly, leaping forward to capture the peculiar orb.

Without warning, the orb transformed, reshaping itself into a sharp, thorned rubber rope that coiled around the gorilla's neck.

"Wahahahaha!" the gorilla laughed excitedly, unfazed by the thorned rope. However, Aron's cunning strategies soon came into play.

"This one is annoying," Aron muttered as the thorn rapidly spun, taking on the appearance of a drill, while being steadily covered by a corrosive substance.

"Ah!" the gorilla cried out in terror as he felt his mask begin to break apart. "Help me, you damn lizard!"

The lizard attempted to assist the gorilla, but instead, he too found himself ensnared by the thorny restraint. After minutes of their struggle and cries. But it turned out a futile struggles, their masks were ultimately destroyed and subsequently devoured by Aron.

"That's what you get for attacking me out of nowhere!" Aron sneered, resuming his relentless assault on the Menos until he eventually evolved into an Adjucha slime.

In a dimly lit underwater laboratory, a significant experiment was about to commence. Inside the experimental chamber, Bronya and Seele stood side by side, their expressions a mix of determination and nervousness.

Meanwhile, Cocolia and a team of scientists observed them closely.

"The experiment is progressing smoothly. These two children have a high affinity for Honkai Energy," one of the scientists announced as he watched Seele and Bronya inside the chamber.

The experimental apparatus surrounding Bronya and Seele hummed with energy, and the water outside the chamber's thick glass walls shimmered with an eerie light.

The atmosphere was heavy with anticipation as everyone present knew the potential risks and rewards of this research into Honkai Energy.

As everything appeared to be going smoothly, Seele suddenly lost control of the Honkai Energy.

|Warning! Warning! Warning!|

"The Honkai energy has grown beyond her control!" one of the scientists announced.

Suddenly, the warning stopped, and a tense calm settled over the room.

Seele opened her eyes and regained control of the Honkai Energy with ease, leaving everyone excited.

"Subject 'Seele' has succeeded!" one of the scientists exclaimed, caught up in the excitement.

However, a sudden turn of events left everyone stunned. Seele's hands began to slowly fade into nothingness, surprising both her and those watching.

Cocolia, alarmed by the situation, immediately stood next to a woman responsible for control.

"What's happening to her?" Cocolia asked urgently.

The woman continued trying to find a solution while answering the question. "Her molecular structure is breaking down."

"Although it's impossible, the subject is breaking down into the quantum state."

"This is bad. Subject 'Seele' is standing next to subject 'Bronya,'" one of the scientists announced with horror.

They concluded that Seele had already been corrupted by the Honkai energy within her body due to the higher concentration of Honkai energy she possessed.

"Bronya, onee-chan," Seele muttered, hugging Bronya as she slowly disappeared.

Meanwhile, as Aron peacefully slept inside his Mirror world, a series of reports appeared:

[Report: Three individuals were detected within the Soul Sea of yours.]

[Detecting the reason how the Soul bypasses the Mirror world.]

[Report: Their methods of entry were unknown.]

[Report: The two souls were familiar with the host.]

[Due to the current situation of the host, it is noted that it was impossible to communicate.]

[Unique Skill "Great Sage" has taken action.]

[Unique Skill "Great Sage" has decided to communicate with the three individuals.]

Seele and Bronya embraced each other until Aron, with his glowing red eyes, appeared.

"Aron!" they exclaimed in unison, their expressions filled with shock, before leaping into his embrace.

"I thought we might never see you again," Bronya said, tears streaming down her face as she held him tightly. She had sorely missed his warmth.

"Aron onii-chan, I missed you so much," Seele said, her voice filled with longing, as she leaned in as if to kiss his lips and gazed at Aron with intense passion.

"Report: I am Aron Laserna, possessing the skill 'Great Sage.' Aron is currently sleeping due to his evolution process," Aron explained, causing the two to jump back, their expressions alert.

"I am currently taking control of the soul due to its vulnerable state. It is also recommended for individuals Seele and Bronya to learn the function of the two pendants around your necks," Great Sage answered, ignoring their glare as it provided crucial information.

"Due to the host's love for the two of you, Aron unknowingly created something for the subjects, Bronya and Seele," Great Sage explained, shedding light on the origin of the pendants. "Using the unique skill 'Great Sage,' he created these using the power of the stigma inside Aron's body."

Hearing these words, Bronya and Seele couldn't help but feel a rush of happiness, and their cheeks blushing.

"The functions of the pendants are as follows," Great Sage continued.

"Pendant of the Quantum Tides:

This pendant, adorned with intricate patterns resembling quantum waves and the mysterious depths of the cosmos, symbolizes the power of the Quantum realm."

"Its function is to grant the wearer control over quantum-related abilities, bridging the gap between the quantum world and the tangible reality."

"When activated, it allows the user to manipulate not just water, but the very fabric of quantum particles that make up matter."

"It enables them to reshape molecules, create quantum currents, and even summon quantum storms. The pendant bestows the ability to breathe and exist within the quantum realm itself, making the wearer a master of both quantum environments and the physical world."

"This pendant is closely linked to the quantum energy that underlies the universe, providing the wearer with unparalleled control over quantum states and their manifestations."

"It has been adapted to help you learn to control quantum energy and explore the limitless possibilities it holds."

"Pendant of Creation:The Pendant of Creation features a design representing the genesis of life and creation. When activated, it grants the wearer the power to shape and manipulate matter, bringing their thoughts into reality."

"Whether it's constructing objects, mending broken items, or even creating temporary barriers, this pendant bestows the ability to mold the physical world.

"It's a symbol of creativity and the ability to bring one's imagination to life, making it a formidable tool for problem-solving and defense."

"Report: We don't have enough time," Great Sage said as the two slowly began to vanish. She looked in a certain direction.

The two sisters wanted to say something at Great Sage, but Seele decided to tapped Bronya's forehead with her gentle finger. Then, just like that, they both vanished.
