Chapter 8 Vastocar

"If I just watched more episodes of Bleach and didn't stop at the episode where Ichigo got his Bankai," Aron muttered, laying his head in the lap of the tanned-skinned woman.

Harribel happily hugged his slime body and squished it like a ball. "It's relaxing to squish you," she said with her gentle smile.

Aron tried to look at her face, but with his current position, the only thing he saw was her breast.

"Nuh-uh," were the only words that he said, and he continued looking at the sky. "Tomorrow, I'm gonna hunt until I evolve into a Vasto Lorde."

Hearing his words, Harribel nodded her head and didn't say anything, but her expression was a mixture of loneliness and sadness. She knew that he must do this; if not, it would hinder his growth.

Years had passed in Hueco Mundo, and Aron had hunted down 8,000 Hollows, significantly elevating his status to a tremendous level. And among the skills he acquired, only a few proved useful:

[Primal Instinct: This skill granted Aron an innate, animalistic sense of upcoming danger, giving him heightened awareness, avoiding threats more effectively.]

[Future Sight:With this ability, Aron gained glimpses into possible future events, enabling him to make more informed decisions and steer clear of potential dangers.]

[Acceleration:This skill enhanced his physical abilities, making him faster and more agile in his relentless pursuit of Hollows.]

(Aron's Perspective)

"Sensei, am I close to evolving?" I inquired, and the Great Sage promptly replied with a simple "[Report: Yes]."

"Understood," I sighed, tiredness washing over me. I could sense everything moving in slow motion fron the result of the countless battles I'd engaged in against Hollows, Menos, and Adjucha.

Surprisingly, I hadn't encountered a single Vasto Lorde apart from Harribel.

"I hope this will fill up my count," I muttered, lifting one of my slime tentacles. At its tip, a red Cero began to form, its crimson hue gradually shifting to a deep purple until it emitted a powerful spiritual pressure.

"Chaos Cero," I murmured as an enormous, beam-like surge of energy burst forth, wide enough to engulf an area of 100 meters. It obliterated everything in its path, leaving devastation behind. When the Cero dissipated, a black, glowing orb floated in my direction.

I disliked using this Cero; it drained my spiritual energy significantly. However, the main concern was its destructiveness, that was capable of obliterating not only physical objects but also the souls drifting nearby, those souls are the things that I planned to deviur, if it weren't for the guidance of Great Sage.

[Caos Cero: This powerful ability, known as the "Caos Cero," channels immense energy into a massive beam of destructive force. It ravages everything in its path with its chaotic might. However, it comes at a significant cost, draining a substantial amount of Aron's spiritual energy due to its destructive nature.]

[Confirmed Merciless has successfully acquired]

[Merciless: The user would be able to seize the target's Soul once their heart breaks, such as losing their will to fight, beg for mercy, etc. After that condition is met, the use can reap the marked target's Soul, even if the target has recovered their will to live and fight in the meantime. The souls of the recently killed can also be devoured.]

"Huh? What is that?" Did I acquired this skill because I just throw a strong Cero out of nowhere killing a bunch of hollow?

Just how many hollow did I killed in that Cero?

[Answer. Based on the soul count that coming on your way it is detected that you successfully killed a number count of 40,000 Hollow and Menus]

Eh? neat.

[Report: It is detected that you are going through the process of evolution]

Not again, I'm starting to feel that I'm losing consciousness.

[Soul Manipulation:As a Vasto Carr, Aron gains the ability to manipulate and control souls more effectively. This skill allows him to extract and absorb spiritual energy from souls more efficiently, further bolstering his power.]

[Void Immunity: Aron becomes immune to the effects of the void, which is a characteristic of Hueco Mundo. This immunity prevents him from being affected by the desolate and barren nature of the realm, giving him an advantage in surviving and navigating the environment.]

[Spiritual Dominance:This skill grants Aron the ability to exert his spiritual pressure over weaker beings, causing them to submit or become overwhelmed in his presence. It enhances his command over lesser creatures in Hueco Mundo.]

[Segunda Etapa: Putting the excessive power inside a sword, using Segunda would greatly enhance your capabilities by a huge margin.]

Aron woken up within the sand and looked around the place. He stands up using his feets and felt the cold sand around the place he covered his eyes upon seeing the light from the moon using his hands. "Huh? I have a hands and foot?"

As Aron moved about, slowly jumping and engaging in various activities, he couldn't help but smile.

"I missed this feeling, being able to move my limbs freely," he remarked to himself, noticing that he had regained his muscles and returned to his previous body size. "Regrettably, my height remains at 5'9"," he muttered, looking around and sensing a Vasto Lorde-level spiritual energy nearby.

"Aron!" Harribel's voice rang out as she used Sonido to appear. She became cautious upon seeing a teenager who appeared to be around the age of 15, waving at her with a friendly smile. "Where is Aron?" she demanded, her spear-like arm poised at his throat.

"Nice to see you again, Harribel," Aron replied nonchalantly, ignoring the spear pointed at his neck.

Aron's casual demeanor seemed to baffle Harribel for a moment, and she withdrew her spear-like arm from his throat. Her aqua-colored eyes held a mixture of surprise and curiosity.

"Aron? Is that really you?" she inquired, her voice tinged with uncertainty.

He nodded, his grin widening. "Yep, it's me, Harribel. But it looks like I've gone through some changes."

Harribel observed him more closely, noticing the newfound strength and energy emanating from his transformed body. "You've become a Vasto Lorde? No it's a Vastocar, from the legends" she concluded, her tone a mix of awe and realization.

Aron nodded again. "That's right. And I've gained some new abilities too."

Their conversation was interrupted by a powerful surge of spiritual energy in the distance, drawing their attention. Aron's keen senses immediately recognized it as the presence of another Vasto Lorde.

"Looks like we're not alone," Aron said, his expression growing more serious.

Harribel nodded and said, "Yes, there's another Vasto Lorde nearby. His name is Barragan. We should be cautious."

Aron nodded in agreement, his curiosity getting the better of him. He decided to use Segunda Etapa and felt a significant boost in all his stats. He now wore a black hoodie with slime-like scarfs around his neck and long black pants.

Baraggan, on the other hand, had the appearance of an elderly man with a left olive-green eye, a white mustache, and white hair.

He observed Harribel and Aron but quickly retreated out of fear upon witnessing Aron's overwhelming power and spiritual energy. As he saw Aron's transformation, his instincts screamed at him to flee from this formidable being.

"That's cliché," Aron muttered, as he watched the figure run away.

Harribel, on the other hand, embraced him tightly and wore a warm smile. "I missed you," she said. "You've grown much stronger since the last time we met."

"Harribel-Sama!" A lion-like hollow and a snake-like hollow shouted.

Aron looked at the two hollows, tilting his head in confusion. "Who are they?" he asked, glancing at the woman who had been hugging him.

"They are my family," she answered with a warm smile.

"I see," Aron nodded, understanding the significance. He observed the two Adjuchas approaching them. "I've learned how to cook. Would you like to taste it?" he offered, and Harribel nodded in agreement.

As they prepared to share a meal, Aron couldn't help but think about his next mission. He needed to go to the human world to retrieve Seele from the Sea of Quanta and visit his own family, whom he deeply missed.

"Sensai, what can I do to help them with their hunger?" Aron asked, seeking guidance. He knew that Adjuchas faced a significant disadvantage if they couldn't find sustenance.

Raphael provided valuable knowledge on how to assist the two Adjuchas by potentially transforming them into Arrancar, beings similar to himself.

"Thank you," Aron expressed his gratitude to his skill and shared the knowledge with the three of them using a memory ball technique, ensuring they had the information they needed.

Aron then contemplated his own appearance, or lack thereof, as an Arrancar. He noted that he didn't have a mask, unlike typical Arrancar. Even his Segunda Etapa form resembled him wearing a black hoodie and black pants, with the addition of a bluish scarf around his neck.

"No wonder Harribel loves to squish me," he thought, pressing the scarf between his fingers, finding it oddly satisfying.

When presented with a suggestion from Raphael to transform his katana into his slime form from the past, Aron accepted without hesitation. His clothing vanished, but Harribel moved swiftly and covered him with a destroyed mantle.

"Thank you, Harribel," Aron expressed his gratitude to the Vasto Lorde, who happily nodded in response and looked intently at the slime between his arms.

"You want it?" Aron asked, seeing the intense longing in her eyes as she gazed at the slime he cradled.

Harribel shook her head, her thoughts known only to her. 'I want to get hugged too like that slime between his arms.'
