Chapter 595: To the Palace of the Hollows!
"Very well."
Feng Ye glanced at Nel, his expression calm as he extended his hand towards her. "Neliel, come here."
Nel took a slight breath and, despite not knowing what Feng Ye intended, obediently approached him.
As she drew near, Feng Ye's outstretched left hand retracted slightly, leaving only his index finger pointing at her.
Gulu!
The tip of Feng Ye's finger twitched, resembling dough as a small glob of milky white liquid oozed out. It then shot forward, piercing Nel's chest and merging with her body.
Nel instinctively wanted to dodge, but before she could react, it was already done. She froze, then felt a distinct power erupt from within her, flowing throughout her body.
"I bestow upon you the power of evolution," Feng Ye said gently, lowering his hand as he addressed her calmly before turning back to face Lilys.
Nel covered her chest and abdomen with her hand, her eyebrows furrowing slightly as she felt the strange power transform into a heat wave, coursing through her entire body.
"Umm...Mmm...Ahh..."
The heat made her voice out involuntarily, and she clenched her fists, sensing the strange changes occurring within her body.
The power of evolution that Feng Ye had granted her was akin to the one-time power of the Hogyoku. Long ago, Nel had already reached the level of a Vasto Lorde-class Hollow, and now, with the power bestowed upon her by Feng Ye, she was undergoing a transformation at the very core of her being.
The power of the highest-level Vasto Lorde-class Hollow was now ascending to an even higher level.
There were three levels of Hollows: Gillians, Adjuchas, and Vasto Lordes. The higher the level, the more human-like they became. However, even as a Vasto Lorde, there were still significant differences from true humans.
For example, Baraggan, who ruled over Las Noches, only resembled a human skeleton, while Nel had the form of a centaur, with the upper body of a beautiful human female and the lower body of a horse-like Hollow. Her head also bore a Hollow's white bone mask.
But now...
As she began her evolution to a higher level, Nel's body started to glow and writhe, her frame shrinking inward.
When the light faded, what remained was a being with a half-skull mask atop her head, her clothing revealing a pair of perfectly rounded and slender legs. The damaged green grass shirt couldn't conceal the wild power emanating from her body, and her entire form had transformed into that of a human.
"This is..."
Nel slowly opened her eyes, sensing the changes in her body. Her eyes sparkled with a new radiance, and she could feel her strength had increased significantly!
Building upon her Vasto Lorde foundation, she had ascended even further. Even Baraggan, who occupied Las Noches, would likely pale in comparison to her spiritual pressure now!
"Thank you for your blessing, Your Highness," Nel said, taking a breath. She immediately knelt on one knee, her arm across her body as she bowed to Feng Ye in respect.
Feng Ye glanced at her and said, "Stand, just call me Lord Feng Ye."
"Yes, Lord Feng Ye," Nel replied respectfully, rising to her feet and moving to stand beside him, her gaze turning to Lilys, who was also undergoing a transformation nearby.
At this point, she naturally had no intention of expelling or stopping Lilys. In her eyes, it seemed likely that the newly ascended Vasto Lorde-class Hollow had offended Feng Ye and thus received death as punishment, which was only fitting.
Feng Ye was the supreme being who had created this Hollow realm.
All Hollows owed their existence to him, so every life here was his subject, owing him their loyalty and devotion.
"Get accustomed to your new power," Feng Ye said, his eyes fixed on Lilys' transformation as he spoke casually.
"Yes," Nel replied, taking a step back and raising her hand to look at her palm. She gradually released her spiritual pressure, adjusting to her enhanced strength.
Meanwhile...
Lilys, having devoured Grimmjow, was also nearing the end of her transformation. The Ten-Tails' body continued to writhe and change, with new tails extending from its form.
The number of tails eventually reached fifteen, and only then did the changes slow to a halt. Lilys' spiritual pressure had also broken through the limit of a typical captain-level Shinigami, reaching the realm of a captain commander!
The spiritual pressure of a Vasto Lorde-class Hollow was already second only to that of a captain commander, and with Lilys' own power combined with the 'evolutionary power' she inherently possessed, she had directly transcended to an even higher level of transformation!
Shua!!!
The countless tails fluttered and swayed wildly before abruptly freezing and rapidly retracting towards the center, causing the massive body to vanish from sight.
Lilys reappeared in the air, her figure floating there, but her appearance had undergone a drastic transformation. She no longer resembled a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl.
Under Feng Ye's watchful gaze, Lilys slowly opened her eyes. She sensed the changes in her power, lifted her hand to examine it, and then glanced down at her altered form, her eyebrows furrowing slightly.
Suddenly, a white light enveloped her body, flashing a few times before fading away. When the light dissipated, Lilys had returned to her original, petite twelve or thirteen-year-old self.
Reverting to her original form, Lilys descended from the air and stood before Feng Ye. She addressed him obediently, "Father, I have completed the task."
"Good, very good," Feng Ye acknowledged, sensing the changes in Lilys and offering a faint smile.
Post-transformation, Lilys' spiritual pressure had reached the threshold of a super captain-level Shinigami. In other words, her spiritual power as a pure spirit Shinigami was now comparable to her previous hybrid form!
"Let me see your full power now," Feng Ye said to Lilys, waving his hand to create a miniature version of Lilys, which he then sent flying forward.
The tiny Lilys quickly enlarged as it flew, rapidly transforming into a full-sized replica with closed eyes.
"Yes," Lilys' spirit replied, flying forward to merge with her physical body. The union between the spirit and the body was seamless and unhindered.
Buzz!
Lilys' body trembled violently, and an awe-inspiring aura surged from her, rippling out in all directions.
Even Nel, who stood at a distance, was taken aback by this aura, sensing the power within it that seemed even stronger than her own post-transformation state!
Hiss!
Lilys' super captain-level soul and body merged without any sign of rejection, easily uniting as one.
The reason was twofold: firstly, this was her original body, and secondly, her eye power had strengthened along with her soul, facilitating the union.
Eye power existed between the soul and the body, possessing both cellular and spiritual energy, thus acting as the perfect medium.
Guided by her eye power, Lilys' body and soul merged flawlessly.
Buzz!
Lilys opened her eyes once more.
As her soul had integrated into her body, the spiritual pressure she emitted was not overwhelming. It was comparable to before she had devoured Grimmjow, perhaps even slightly weaker, but it gave off an entirely different impression—a subtle sense of suppressed might.
"Excellent," Feng Ye praised, a hint of golden light glinting in his eyes as he pierced through Lilys' body with his gaze, scrutinizing every inch of her transformed self.
At this moment, Lilys' perfect fusion of Shinigami spirit power and God Tree physical power had elevated her eye techniques to an even higher level. Her full combat strength was likely superior to that of Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni!
She was akin to a miniature sun!
Such power was no longer negligible, even to Feng Ye. If they merged, she would undoubtedly augment his strength significantly.
More importantly, Lilys' flawless transformation confirmed his previous hypothesis—that the power of the Shinigami and the God Tree could indeed coexist and merge harmoniously without conflict.
In other words...
The idea of consuming the Soul King's power was now almost certainly feasible! And judging by the compatibility of these two powers, he might even be able to venture directly to the Soul King Palace and attempt to acquire the Soul King's power immediately.
"Are we going to the Soul King Palace now?" Lilys asked, having sensed Feng Ye's thoughts.
Feng Ye glanced up at the distant sky, his mind racing before he reached up to ruffle her hair affectionately. "Let's go to our palace first, and then we'll head to the Soul King Palace."
As he finished speaking, he turned to Nel, who was nearby, familiarizing herself with her post-transformation powers. "Nel, come. It's time to leave."
Nel, who had resumed her centaur form, hurried over without shifting back to her human shape. "Yes... Where are we going?"
"To the Palace of the Hollows," Feng Ye replied calmly, gazing at the central area of Hueco Mundo, where a sprawling complex of buildings known as the Palace of the Hollows stood.
Directly above this palace was the location of the palace he had created millions of years ago.
