The Garganta opens easily, and you step through into the space between worlds. The reiatsu gathers at your feet as you stride confidently into the world of the Hollows. The world is every bit as bleak and hopeless as youv'e come to expect.

Let's begin our gillian slaughter fest by gathering the participants.

Oh, and a question. Last thread someone said hollows can be purified with non-shinigami weapons, but I'm not sure. Is the whole eradicating hollow souls thing because of quincy weapons, or does it apply to all non-shinigami weapons?

>>40135672
Not a samefaging.

>>40135688
yhwach was actually eating all the hollows the quincy's killed.

>>40135688
No, Quincy weapons remove the souls from the cycle entirely because Ywach is eating them. It's an effect very specific to the Quincy.

Har.

these random encounter rolls always make me nervous. at least we didnt get a four.

How about we establish some sort of system where we check in once every 10 days and give a status report. Failure to check in for two consecutive weeks can be considered 'I'm dead, start working on my replacement.'

>>40135775

Hmmm... wonder what 19 nets us on the random encounter chart? Obviously not the entrance to the Forest of Menos... probably not Barrigan...

Probably for the best that you get moving, but you keep your eyes open as you move through the desert. It's because of that, and because of his complete lack of stealth, that you see the Hollow coming at you from the side. An Adjuchas, with a body like a fat gray worm and a head like the shell of a pale crab.

“You're a Shinigami!” he shouts enthusiastically. “What luck, to test my new skills on worthy prey! I'll kill you, Shinigami!”

Seems he's got things backwards. An asshole Menos like this who'd attack you without warning just to see what he's capable of? He's your prey.

>>40136296
Aizen didn't follow us. Our zanpakuto can sense illusions. And we don't have one on us.

>>40136296
Why the fuck not? He's smart enough to assume we can, anyway.

>>40136202
Yeah, lets not do that.

>>40136314
>Aizen didn't follow us. Our zanpakuto can sense illusions. And we don't have one on us.
I'm not worried about Aizen, I'm worried about his cronies watching and saying "Hey, that shorter one popped a mask on and got stronger for a brief moment."

You dont worry about Aizen directly, you worry about him indirectly.

>>40136314
Doesn't mean he can't illusion himself to be unseen. Or that he isn't watching from afar outside of detection range for our sword. Additionally he could have a moles here looking at us.


>>40136325
Except we haven't shown him it's a trump. Never show your trump unless you have too.

>>40136325
>implying Aizen knows Riku so well he can determine how she would react to being part hollow

Cause, you know, everyone would immediately decide it isn't so bad and start to play with it.

For all he knows, we despise it and want nothing to do with it.

>>40136343
That would require us not being able to sense them.

>>40136356
>Doesn't mean he can't illusion himself to be unseen
And troll confirmed. illusions do not work that way.

>>40136396
This is kubo level illusion anon. Don't assume shit. His illusions are massive bullshit anyways.

And his people may be hiding spiritual pressure or simply keeping tabs on us via it from range, or both. We're out in the open.

Queen please tell me you are planning to ignore the votes that are being voted and samefagged out of idiocy and fear? Like the whole Aizen/his moles will somehow be able to spy on us despite every thing that pretty much makes it impossible.

>>40136433
Kubo isn't running the game.

>>40136396
>That would require us not being able to sense them.

That isn't that far out of the realm of possibility, you know.

Also, not that other guy, but an illusion is literally just fucking with other people's senses, which is what Aizen's zanpakto does, he can, in fact, make himself "not seen", or heard, smelled, tasted or even felt.

>>40136433
OUR! SHIKAI! DISPELS! ILLUSIONS!

>>40136435
>Assuming votes are are samefagged because they disagree with you


>>40136442
So? Aizen is massive bullshit anyways you slice it.

>>40136465
I know that. But it has to sense them first, and we have no idea of it's range.

>>40136202
Not really.

>>40136465
Not automatically, but not doing something because Aizen might be watching is stupid.

>>40136270
Even with the Valley of Screams open to us?

>>40136510
I'd just rather not do it because we're in a hostile environment and it's exhausting.

>>40136459
Our blade dispels illusions. And our zanpakuto spirit would know if we were caught in one and would tell us so.

>>40136493
His zanpakuto works by affecting peoples senses. So that means it would be sensed instantly.

>>40136510
See the fucking above. It would be instantly. Hell we don't even have to release. Our spirit could do it for us.

>>40136493
>So? Aizen is massive bullshit anyways you slice it.
Yes, but Queen is running the game. Queen will give us a fighting if not fair chance, because otherwise it's not a game.

Me saying "Rocks fall, you die." in response to every move you make is not a game.

>>40135919
As the foolish Menos approaches you recklessly, not even giving a thought to his own defense, you position your hand to fire a modified spell you've been working on. You've never used this one in battle before, but you're fairly confident it should work.

>You guys are lame, I had the Hollowfied version all written up too.

You're either wildly overconfident in Riku, or underestimating Aizen.

I would not do either.

>>40136552
>Our blade dispels illusions. And our zanpakuto spirit would know if we were caught in one and would tell us so.

I'm aware, however I am unaware of the range of dispelling, also unaware if we use it at random if it breaks the lock Aizen's illusion puts us under, since the illusion wouldn't be on us, but further away.

It's iffy, honestly, and I'd rather not assume how everything works.

Rolled 10, 9, 5 = 24 (3d10)

That's not how illusions work at all you retarded window licker. Especially aizens. His work by affecting a persons senses. Say it with me. THEIR. SENSES. It's like genjutsu in naruto.

>>40136665
>It's like genjutsu in naruto.

Please, stop.

The fact of the matter is, it is not actually described how Aizen's illusions work in its entirety.

His sword is causing the "illusion", even though what is being affected is the senses.

Either it works on us when we try to dispel illusions, or we have to be close to his sword to dispel them is what I am saying.

I don't know how this fuckery works. So I'd prefer if you didn't bite at me like some hostile little yipping dog.

Fuck

>>40136581
You feel the energy building in the palm of your hand before you release the spell. You can tell that Tenkotsuki is watching in anticipation, hoping to see it go off without a hitch.

“Kurohitsugi!” you announce, watching the purplish black coffin leap into existence, as if congealed out of dark, dense reiatsu that pours from your body and saturates the air. The “coffin”, however, comes into being around the Hollow's head instead of its whole body. It's a much smaller effect, but much quicker too.

“Dantō.”

In an instant the box distorts as the reiatsu that composes it obliterates the Adjuchas' head and neck, before cracking and gradually fading away. The results are catastrophic, and far too grisly to even put into words. Needless to say, the Hollow inside is killed instantly. There's nothing left from the hole in its chest up that's even recognizable.

Tenkotsuki lets out a low whistle. “Damn.”

“It was difficult to put the bottom side in place,” you tell her. “I'm not sure it'd work against too powerful an enemy.”

“But when it does work,” she muses, “will it ever WORK.”

One down.

>>40136934
I didn't think Aizen was there, I just wasn't sure of our abilities in a hostile environment after we've yet to resolve anything with Rosa Rosette and haven't made much progress on the matter in four years.

>>40136907
You find the only friendly Menos you've ever seen in the cave that Halibel seems to favor. Strangely, you find that Starrk and Apacci are wearing clothing: much better clothing that last time you met.

“I'm impressed,” you admit. “Where'd you find cloth here?”

“There's somethin' that does the trick down in the Forest,” Apacci tells you, showing off her white outfit. It looks similar to a shihakusho, but with white hakama and a black sleeveless top underneath an open white vest, held together by a red sash. Her Zanpakuto is tucked into that sash. “Any color other than white's a pain in the ass to do though.”

Starrk, on the other hand, is wearing white trousers and a plain black shirt, with a white poncho thrown about his shoulders. Simple, and yet it kinda suits him, you think. “I was wonderin' when you'd be back.”

“You mentioned several Zanpakuto being in Hueco Mundo?” Halibel recalls. “Have you come to find them with us?”

>Yes. Don't mention the attacking Menos part.
>Yes. I'll do that, then I'll need to take care of some business.
>Explain the situation in full, you agreed to it as a cover for your own business.
>Explain the situation, but reassure them that a few Gillians are a necessary sacrifice.

>>40137122
Not accepting that I wont hide the fact that I am afraid of Aizen and his fuckery?

Did I say that it was a factual statement that he was following us?

No.

Did I propose it was possible?

Yes.

Did QM say it wasn't the case?

Indeed, that doesn't mean I didn't say it was possible, and had a discussion on it.

Anywho, I'll leave you guys to it so I stop responding, thread is getting shat upon by this nonsense.

>>40137165

Be honest with our friends.

>Explain the situation, but reassure them that a few Gillians are a necessary sacrifice.

That's a good reason. And if you haven't been bitching about me reporting you for spamming and shit posting that aizen is watching us along with insisting he is and the ability we have that flat out counters him then I haven't reported you.

>>40137208
You pretty much kept arguing that our ability that is a flat out counter for his won't work on his.

They're mindless. Better them than a few thousand from the rukongai.

>>40137165
>Explain the situation in full, you agreed to it as a cover for your own business.
Never say necessary sacrifice.

>>40137165
I hope they don't consider Gillian to be their fellows. That would make things difficult.

>>40137165
I doubt most hollows give a fuck about the mindless gillians. Theyre basically less than hollows, metally, even. And even the smart ones end up killing all the others around them in order to evolve. Thinning the cround should be no problem, so lets tell em the whole deal and
>Explain the situation, but reassure them that a few Gillians are a necessary sacrifice.

>>40137165
>Explain the situation, but reassure them that a few Gillians are a necessary sacrifice.

Ask them where you might find a nest of mindless gillian. They've been shown to group together in huge numbers several times. I figure nobody's going to cry over a few nests of dead beings who are mindless and too strong to be food.

>>40137165
>Explain the situation, but reassure them that a few Gillians are a necessary sacrifice.
Kill a bunch of literally mindless hollows, or purge a bunch of civilians.

>>40137321
They would have issues taking out the smart ones. The mindless ones not so much. Especially since it would prevent thousands being massacred in soul society.

Yeah, don't say it's a necessary sacrifice and be willing to adjust our plans based on what they say

>>40137368
agreed, we arent fucking hitler.

>>40137368
The thing is it is one. We don't have enough Ballast souls to balance out the realm. It's a win win. We don't have to kill several thousand souls that can actually think in soul society and they are no longer doomed to be stuck in a mindless gersult entity.

>>40137165
>>Yes. I'll do that, then I'll need to take care of some business.

>>40137427
They are mindless and aren't going to evolve to the next level. The only other option is to kill several thousand thinking beings in soul society.

>>40137165
>Explain the situation in full, you agreed to it as a cover for your own business.
Well let's see, we're trying to avoid...

>Seireitei and Hueco going out of balance
>Seireitei soul genocide
>Gillians being attracted like vultures to the mortal world once a Hollow soul feeding frenzy starts due to massive casualties piling up

>>40137432
Yeah, this is a pretty big point. As long as we don't kill the ones which are different, it's fine, since regular Gillian are literally nonsapient, and they are stuck that way forever. If anything, this is a kindness.

Let's just wait for Sharktits to clarify how hollows see the issue before we go off assuming anything, guys.

>>40137432
Technically over time Gillian can become Adjuchas which is what these guys are, and we have proof that they can be benevolent.

I mean, it doesn't really make sense for them to care about people outside of their immediate social circle, especially not the Tres Bestias, but not everyone is all rational all the time.

>>40137527
Nooope. Only certain Gillian even have a chance of growing into an Adjuchas. The ones with the pointy noses will remain as Gillian forever.

>>40137527
If they ever stop evolving they loose the chance forever. Not moving forward constantly is a death sentence for the minds inside a gillian, and many of the ones you see wandering the forest of menos will never be sentient again

>>40137527
Only some gillian retain their identity. Those gillian can become adjuchas.
The rest? Empty, mindless husks, serving no purpose other than as food for the individualist gillian or weak adjuchas, or very occasionally cannon fodder for anyone who figures out how to give them orders.

>>40137165
Is starrks other half not wearing clothing?

>>40137527
Nah dude, you can tell which Gillian have the possibility to become Adjuchas by their mask. If it looks like this, it will never be anything more than a Gillian, and so is safe to kill.

>>40137165
“How do you feel about Gillians?” you ask quietly.

Apacci frowns at you, and the rest of the Hollows' responses are difficult to judge. “Now why the hell're you askin' that?”

“It's important,” you insist. “Do they think? Do they feel? Do they have personalities of their own?”

After a long pause, Halibel shakes her head. “They do not.”

“Truth be told, I'm also here on a mission,” you admit. “There's going to be a war in the living world, which means we're expecting tens of thousands more deaths in the next year or so.”

“And that requires you to balance things out,” Starrk concludes. Your silence is all the answer he needs.

“Thought as much.”

“If I kill one Gillian,” you tell the group, “that's several hundred souls that don't have to die in the Soul Society to maintain the balance. I'm not asking you to understand, or to approve... I just wanted you to know.”

None of the Menos seem too comfortable with the thought of you killing off Menos en-mass, let alone being party to it. Eventually, Starrk is the one to respond. “And you're sayin' it needs to be done?”

“It's not great, but I think it's better than the alternative,” you tell him. “By shifting the balance towards the living world, it'll allow our scientists to make something called “artificial souls”. Basically we're planning to use them as ballast, to balance out the universe short-term.”

“Cheating the system, huh?” Starrk muses. “Clever bastards really think they can do it?”

You nod. “By the time the next war rolls around, we may be equipped to handle it without extreme measures.”

“The next war, huh?” Apacci scowls. “You sound so sure about that.”

“There's always a 'next war', Apacci,” Starrk replies. “I don't like this, but it sounds like you don't either.”

“Not particularly.”

Halibel nods. “I won't hold it against you.”

>>40137809
Well, yeah, but hopefully there's enough of them that it won't be an issue.

>>40137809
Yeah, but the fields are pretty much endless. And theres a war comming, so as many souls go to the soul society, there should be plenty of extra here as well

Starrk is such a goddamn bro. best wolf for life.
also wheres lilynette?

>>40137795
Phew.

I was worried for a second there.

Does anyone else think gillians with unique masks look way cooler than adjucas class hollows?

>>40137809
There are thousands of the bloody things. Killing a few dozen isn't going to disrupt the ecosystem too badly, I should hope.

>>40137809
Or adjuchas (unlikely) or shitloads of hollows (impractical). Effectively, yes.
Thankfully, there's more of them than we could kill without a sustained campaign, even if we did need more than a few.

>>40137908
That one that they showed in the anime reminded me of Judge Death.

>>40137795
That's good. Though your companions aren't happy with the situation, they mostly seem to understand the necessity of what you're doing: preventing an even worse purge in the Seireitei, among thinking, feeling souls rather than mindless amalgamations with no potential to grow beyond their sorry present state.

I'm more excited about that than I am about genocide. Besides, it'll be a good opportunity to find out their abilities. I'm especially anxious to see Halibel cut through a dozen menos with a single swipe shot.

>>40137958
>>Let your Menos companions lead you to the Forest, get to work. Business first.
To be honest, I feel like our first choice should be the forcible extraction of Ashido Kano to make sure he doesn't see too much.

>>40138160
Were a captain level shinigami. If we take to long that means one thing had to happen. That we ran into something to strong and it took us down. Also they were going to kill them preemptively so they wouldn't have to do it during the war.

>>40138122
We have time.

The good thing about this is that it hasn't been done before, so they have no reasonable expectation of how long it is going to take, meaning that they will likely shrug and leave us to it.

>>40137958
>>Let your Menos companions lead you to the Forest, get to work. Business first.

>>40138122
>“Nobody else here knows how to use the world-tying rite from the other side,” you observe. “If something comes along and offs me, anyone else I took would be stuck. It makes no sense to take anyone else with me.”

Supposedly they couldn't send anyone after us if they wanted to

>>40138153
no

>>40138207
Or we adopted a strategy that takes a few days? Hit and run, like a solitary soldier might do against greater numbers? Maybe we got lost and spent a bit looking for the forest?

I'm pretty sure they don't promote people to captain if the have to be babysat, anon.

>>40137958
Much to your surprise the “forest” turns out to be beneath the sands of Hueco Mundo, a massive cavern seemingly without end held up by stone pillars beyond any hope of counting. In this space the many Gillian mill about aimlessly in the dark, no more aware of their surroundings than so many black weeds.

Opening a Garganta to the Seireitei and shoving your arm through it, you cast Tenteikura with Tenkotsuki's help. You're able to locate the Head Captain and Mayuri, as well as Yoruichi, Rangiku, and the members of your Commandos. In the Forest there's also a single Shinigami, whose mind you also contact. You take a moment to check in with them, letting them know to expect the first Gillians to start dying within the hour.

“Well then,” you mutter. “We've got some time to find those blades, and our guide should be here any second.”

“Our guide?” Sun-Sung hisses. “What do you mean? And wouldn't it be quicker to get your job over with?”

You simply shrug. “The job has to get done, but helping you three comes first.”

“There's a Shinigami out here,” Starrk mutters. “I felt him last time I was down this way.”

“Starrk, you moron!” Lilynette shouts, smacking her... brother, maybe... across the back of his head. “You shoulda said something!”

It takes almost half an hour for the Shinigami to approach you, and at first you don't recognize him as such. He wears the fur of a Hollow around his shoulders and a mask with antlers over his face.

“A... Captain?” the man asks in a state of pure confusion. “Standing next to Hollows? Adjuchas... and a Vasto Lorde... and what are those three?”

Our identity, and goal with reducing the Gillian population. As for our companions and the asauchi thing, try and frame it as a secret mission with the approval of Squad Zero.

>>40138470
Wait, this could be bad. He knows that we are consorting with Hollows now. He's a witness.

Why did we contact the Seireitei so soon anyway? Surely it would have been better to deal with the arrancarisation first?

>>40138574
No he didn't say who. He did say there was a shinigami down there.

>>40138592
Have you considered queen is doing this on purpose because he doesn't want to put up with the rampent paranoia that people displayed towards aizen towards him?

>>40138555
>>40138571
Yeah. Recruit him in a way that he's able to understand, by debriefing him and getting him the fuck out of here without any confusing ideas about "friendly hollows". He's been here for god knows how long, doing nothing but killing hollows and has even started WEARING hollows despite that theoretically being impossible. This is not a reasonable man.

>>40138642
>>40138642
Just because people didn't feel like arguing with you doesn't mean they all had the same plan you did.

>>40138642

>>40138697
Dude, i aint even agree with that guy, but chill out brah

Don't tell him about Aizen, and don't tell him about our snowflake powers.

Well I just read something interesting on the wiki. Ashido is at the level of bankai with out having a shikai or bankai active. This dude could probably rival yamamoto if he had bankai. We have to take him back to soul society.

Lol I'm pretty sure the only person who will ever know about our snowflake powers before we choose to actually use them is Yoruichi. Not even Gin or Rangiku know about our real bankai.

How else are we going to successfully pull a double-reverse kubo on Aizen?

>>40138805
Officer class is not bankai level

>>40138848
Not even Yoruichi knows exactly what Riku's bankai does, IIRC. Snowflake powers was probably referring to the Visored abilities.

>>40139057
Aizen: "Oh, did you think I was over there, Riku? Just who are you looking at?"
Riku: "Did you really think Tousen was the only one in Soul Society who could overcome you Aizen? The only one who could keep a secret from everybody? Bankai."

Then Gin and Kenpachi show up. Total lels.
That reminds me, we should become bro-tier with Kenpachi for this express purpose. He'd hate someone like Aizen who relies so much on his zanpakuto.

“Kusajishi Riku, Captain of the Ninth Division,” you introduce yourself. “And you are?”

“Kano Ashido, Eighth Division,” he replies. “What happened to Captain Muguruma?”

You frown. “Long story. Very complicated, and not something I tell every stranger about, Kano.”

“What the hell is going on here?” Ashido fires back, pulling off the Hollow mask. “Why is a Captain here in the company of Menos?”

“Things are getting really weird,” you explain. “I happened across some Menos who seemed decent enough, and figured I might as well make some friends. Now I'm here to kill as many Gillians as I can so that we don't have to purge thirty or forty thousand souls out of the Rukongai.”

Ashido shakes his head in disbelief as he struggles to keep up. “But wait, why are you with the Menos?”

“Because I've been helping them become Arrancar,” you explain, and even as the words leave your mouth you realize how insane that sounds.

“You're WHAT?”

“Squad Zero told me there were Asauchi here that your comrades brought over with them,” you explain, hoping to handwave any mention of Hollowfication and Aizen out of the discussion. “I need to use them to seal three of my friends' masks and increase their power.”

“But WHY!” Ashido shouts back, completely nonplussed. “What does that have to do with killing Gillians?”

“Nothing!” you insist. “I'm here because it all made sense at the time to take care of two pressing matters at once, how are you not getting this!?”

“Because they're HOLLOWS!” Ashido bellows. “I mean, have you SEEN them!? One of them's half shark!”

Its like the shinigami thunderdome. Space god help anything stuck between these three when shit hits the fan

Hence he is only partially canon. He's not totally noncanon like the Bount are, but he's not really canon either.

>>40139285
my god I simply cannot wait.

>“Nothing!” you insist. “I'm here because it all made sense at the time to take care of two pressing matters at once, how are you not getting this!?”
Riku you don't explain things half way.

>>40139264
>>40139270
Riku being riku failed to mention everything going on with aizen.

>>40139226
Well, this is going about as well as expected.

“No, I hadn't noticed!” you shout back sarcastically as the Menos at your side creep quietly away from ground zero of the shouting match. “Thanks for pointing it out!”

“I don't get it, Captain,” Ashido insists, slowly beginning to reign in his emotions. “Why do you have to ally yourself with Hollows? How did an arrangement like that even happen, and why do you want to use my comrades' swords to help them?”

“Depending on your answer I'll either help you, or we'll have to fight.”

>Explain to him what happened, and what you are. Put the whole argument to rest right here and now.
>Explain what happened to Muguruma, Lisa, and the others. Claim not to know the extent of the conspiracy, and that since you happened to know a few Hollows you got permission to draw up an alliance.
>Explain that there's an enemy within the Seireitei, and so you needed allies you could trust from elsewhere. Be vague.

God fucking damnit you imbeciles knew and wanted this to happen, didn't you?

I assume this means telling him about Aizen aswell yeah?

>>40139280
Theres a twofold reason to brawl with that crazy bastard. Hes the standard we need to measure ourselves against for our physical development. Hes the forge that will unknowingly temper the blade of our bankai.
Plus hes pretty chill for a crazy murder monster.

>>40139335
>Explain to him what happened, and what you are. Put the whole argument to rest right here and now.
explain the whole thing with aizen, we dont want to fight this guy.

I think anything else is going to bite us in the ass eventually.

Make sure to emphasise that these Hollows aren't like most of them. They're not total dicks.

>>40139167
>Aizen relies so much on his zanpakuto
Oh haha
Read the manga, nigger
>>40139335
>Explain that there's an enemy within the Seireitei, and so you needed allies you could trust from elsewhere. Be vague.

>>40139346
Hey. Why don't you be smart and wait to see what the rest of the explaination.

>>40139365
No. That's absolutly stupid. He doesn't do any external retsu.

>>40139346
Nope and yet i fucking love the result!

>>40139335
>Explain what happened to Muguruma, Lisa, and the others. Claim not to know the extent of the conspiracy, and that since you happened to know a few Hollows you got permission to draw up an alliance.

>>40139346
did you not see what
>>40139305
was linked to? he's saying he cant wait to triple team aizen with kenpachi and gin.

>>40139335
>Explain to him what happened, and what you are. Put the whole argument to rest right here and now.
Make sure to mention that the shark could have killed us pretty easily when we first met.

>>40139335
>"It's quite simple. I required contacts in Hueco Mundo, so I could stay up to date on what happens here. I exchange for helping free these hollows of their hunger, I have gained such contacts."

>>Explain to him what happened, and what you are. Put the whole argument to rest right here and now.

>>40139393
Because being vague and not giving concret facts isn't being shady as fuck.

Calling it now. Someone is going to same fag the options that aren't telling him everything.

>>40139335
>>Explain to him what happened, and what you are. Put the whole argument to rest right here and now.

Lying to him is stupid.
