3 Chapter 3. Next step

Nova was thinking about whether stay in Hueco Mundo or visit certain places.

Staying in the Hueco Mundo was great if he wanted to lay low and relax since he knew there is no hollow can beat him in a battle. He wasn't being arrogant or anything. It was a simple truth as now his spiritual energy was on a massive level and it would increase even further if he releases his sword.

But Nova didn't like the idea of staying in the Hueco Mundo since it would be boring for him someone who has a very adventurous and curious nature. Therefore he decided to visit either the Human World or the Soul Society. But going to the Soul Society is a little bit risky as there might 'that two' whom he fought before being banished to Hell. Thus he decided to visit the Human World and return shortly after if nothing interesting happens.

After Nova said "Garganta." a bizarre thing happened in front of him. A strange rift tore space in front of him revealing pitch black subspace inside. The rift looked like a mouth of a giant beast. It was a Garganta. An ability that allows hollow and arrancar to travel between the Hueco Mundo, the Soul Society, and the Human World.

"I hope I will find myself in an interesting place." Nova exclaimed and went into the rift.

When Nova came to the Human World, he found himself in a strange place. There were many things he didn't know what they do. For example, there was an iron bar that's being supported by another two iron bars. It was elevated about 2.5 meters from the ground. Also, there was a long iron bar with saddle-like on the two ends and something strange supporting in right in the middle. This place was a park.

Nova wandered around the town till the night. He was amazed by the changes in humanity. When he last came to the Human World there were very few of them scattered around the entire globe living in little tribes. The tribes had at most 100 members except for few civilians. They were now known as Aztec and ancient Egypt.

But now there were too many humans were in the same town something Nova knew would happen eventually as humans were very intelligent and curious beings. But they were weak so they must stick with others meaning one day they will be in a group of millions if not billions.

He looked at the three or four-story buildings as well as strange moving objects on the road before noticing familiar spiritual energy. It was hollow's spiritual energy. But it wasn't alone. There was another wavelength of different spiritual energy. It was a shinigami.

Intrigued by this, Nova decided to witness the fight between a hollow and a shinigami. He decided to go to learn if shinigami grew weaker or became even stronger than before.

***

When Nova arrived at the place where he felt the spiritual energy. He saw a humanoid hollow with a fish-like hollow mask. The hollow had relatively large hands for its skinny arms and a hollow hole in his abdomen area.

The shinigami that has been fighting the hollow was a small girl. The girl wore a standard shinigami costume which is black cloth. She had a bob cut black hair with several strands of her hairs hanging between her eyes.

But the most strange thing was a human was with them. From his posture and actions, he could see the battle happening in front of him which is impossible for humans with few exceptions. The human had orange spiky hair and was wearing a grey suit.

The battle was intense. The hollow was slightly overpowering the shinigami. But if the shinigami didn't try to defend the human who was acting reckless, the battle would have been quite easy for the shinigami. The shinigami didn't give in easily as she was fighting back quite furiously even though she was hurt badly. After a while, the shinigami was able to cut the hollow's upper side of its mask which made the hollow retreat to the Hueco Mundo.

After the hollow came back fully healed, the boy made the girl pierce his chest with her zanpakuto and transfer her spiritual power, turning him into a shinigami.

After the boy changed, he had standard shinigami clothes and a big sword in his hands, ready to fight the incoming hollow.

The boy cut the mask of hollow and collapsed afterward.

Nova was looking at the boy with interest as the boy not only had shinigami spiritual energy, he also had both hollow and quincy spiritual energy which made Nova curious about his background.

"Interesting." Nova smirked. His facial expression was similar to the kid's facial expression after getting a new toy.
