Yekawa didn't hesitate in the slightest as he watched Aizen Sōsuke effortlessly dismantle his Thunder Sea Domain.
"All of you, retreat to the Great Hollow Home!"
With a wave of his hand, he ordered the Adjuchas, who were confronting the shark Arrancar at the entrance of the Great Hollow Home, to retreat, knowing that no matter how many of them came, they would only be offering themselves up to Aizen!
"Whoosh!"
Aizen appeared right beside him with a Sonido.
He stood next to Yekawa, smiling as he looked at him. Yekawa felt as if he had been targeted by a primeval beast, his hairs standing on end, as if he would be swallowed whole the next moment!
At the same time, a terrifying spiritual pressure capable of shaking the entire Hueco Mundo rose from Aizen's body, beginning to crush Yekawa.
"Hmph! Do you think I'm Grimmjow? You think spiritual pressure alone can make me kneel?"
Feeling Aizen's intent, Yekawa snorted coldly, and a dark golden, violent spiritual pressure surged from his body, soaring into the sky to contend with Aizen's terrifying spiritual pressure!
At this moment, Yekawa felt like a small boat in an endless ocean, struggling to stay afloat in a storm!
As if the boat would be wrecked and he would perish in the next instant!
Although Aizen's spiritual pressure was only aimed at Yekawa, the moment Aizen released his spiritual pressure, all the Menos Grande in the Great Hollow Home sensed Aizen's terrifying spiritual pressure.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
A series of Sonido sounds rang out, and four figures appeared around Yekawa, surrounding him, with powerful spiritual pressure erupting from their bodies.
Clearly, the four of them were helping Yekawa bear the terrifying spiritual pressure from Aizen!
Just as the two sides were at loggerheads, Aizen suddenly withdrew his terrifying, abyssal spiritual pressure.
He first briefly scanned Harribel and Nelliel, then his gaze lingered for a moment on Ulquiorra, finally settling on Starrk for a long time before he slowly uttered:
"I never expected there to truly be a Hollow that can become an Arrancar on its own! This is truly a pleasant surprise!"
He looked at Starrk as if he had discovered a rare treasure. Then he turned to Yekawa, and his expression froze when he noticed the Asauchi at his waist.
"You are the leader of the Great Hollow Home?"
Facing Aizen's inquiry, Yekawa swallowed, then replied neither humbly nor arrogantly:
"This one, Yekawa, is indeed the leader of the Great Hollow Home. And you, honored sir?"
Although Yekawa was well aware of Aizen Sōsuke's background, he still had to maintain the act.
Upon hearing this, Aizen smiled slightly and said:
"In that case, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Aizen, Aizen Sōsuke! I am the one who can lead you to break through illusions and shatter your limits!"
Listening to Aizen's pretentious speech, the corner of his mouth under the mask twitched involuntarily.
But he still feigned surprise and asked:
"So, all these Arrancar in Hueco Mundo were created by you, honored sir?"
Aizen Sōsuke, beside him, seemed very pleased with Yekawa's supportive remarks, his smile never fading.
"Can you, honored sir, make all of us Arrancar like Starrk?"
Yekawa struck while the iron was hot, asking Aizen.
"My research is nearing completion. By then, all the Hollows in Hueco Mundo will be able to achieve perfect Arrancarization!"
Aizen pushed up his black-rimmed glasses and slowly replied.
"Nearing completion, so it's not complete yet, then!"
Of course, Yekawa could only complain silently in his heart at this moment.
A moment later, Yekawa bowed slightly to Aizen:
"Then, please, Aizen-kun, lead us onto the path of perfect Arrancarization!"
This wasn't all. With a long roar from Yekawa, dozens of Adjuchas and Lilinette all poured out from the catacombs of the Great Hollow Home.
Even Wonderweiss and his pet, the giant Adjuchas Fleur, came.
Aside from Grimmjow and his followers, who were not currently present, all of Yekawa's subordinates appeared before Aizen.
Now that the Great Hollow Home had come out in full force, it was both a gesture of goodwill towards Aizen and a form of deterrence!
Though it might not be very effective. But at least it gave Aizen the impression that he shouldn't push them too far, or they would fight to the death.
"I, Yekawa, wish to represent all the Menos Grande of the Great Hollow Home and form an alliance with Aizen-kun. As long as Aizen-kun can lead us onto the path of evolution,
Then we are willing to become the sharp blades in your hand, clearing all obstacles for you!"
As soon as his voice fell, the Menos Grande behind him all followed suit.
"We wish to ally with Aizen-kun!"
"We wish to ally with Aizen-kun..."
Seeing this, even Aizen was momentarily stunned, as he had truly not expected this trip to go so smoothly, conquering the Great Hollow Home without shedding a drop of blood.
Although it didn't achieve the desired effect of making all the Menos Grande present bow down in submission.
However, the other party's stance was already low enough. He couldn't treat them like Baraggan, wiping out all of Hueco Mundo.
Of course, with Aizen's cunning, he wouldn't fail to see that Yekawa wasn't sincere, but what did it matter?
Aizen needed Arrancar experimental subjects to perfect his half of the Hōgyoku, while Yekawa needed Aizen to help his subordinates become Arrancar.
They were merely engaging in a collaboration where each got what they needed.
Aizen looked at the Menos Grande before him, nodded slightly, and then slowly uttered:
"Rest assured, everyone, the day of your Arrancarization is very near!"
"I hereby swear, no matter what happens, as long as we advance and retreat together, there will be no enemies before us!"
Aizen's voice was deafening, combined with his strength that dominated the Three Realms, and his excellent appearance.
If Yekawa hadn't already had a 'God's eye view', he would have almost believed him.
Suddenly, Aizen said out of the blue:
"Yekawa, you look more like a Shinigami than a Hollow. If I'm not mistaken, you don't seem to need my help to successfully become an Arrancar. It seems you've already come a long way on the path to Arrancarization!"
Aizen still had that calculating expression as he stared at Yekawa.
"Aizen-kun's insight is truly sharp..."
Seeing that he couldn't hide it any longer, Yekawa simply admitted it openly.
But when Yekawa looked up again, Aizen was nowhere to be seen, only a light, lingering remark:
"I hope when we meet again next time, you will have already taken that step!"
"Phew~"
After confirming that Aizen had indeed left, Yekawa let out a long sigh.
It was only after his brief confrontation with Aizen that he truly understood how strong Aizen was.
Therefore, Aizen's'surrender' was merely a temporary expedient. Only by being strong enough himself could he be qualified to negotiate with him!
At this moment, his desire to become an Arrancar quickly grew even stronger!
"Just one more piece!"
As long as Ginjō Kūgo obtained one more spirit king fragment, Yekawa could achieve perfect Arrancarization!
"I hope this day doesn't make me wait too long!"
