Chapter 53: Ch. 53 Hollow Awakening!

Today's release!


--------------------------------------------------------------------


Yeriel followed Lucifer toward his laboratory. Along the way, she asked what kind of experiment he was planning, but Lucifer simply replied that it was a "crucial" one. Before long, they arrived at the facility.


“It’s been a while since I was here.”


Those were Yeriel’s first words upon seeing the lab. As Lucifer opened the door and stepped inside, three Arrancars were waiting. Two were massive, heavy-set figures standing nearly two meters tall, while the third was lean and lanky. They wore masks of red, blue, and white, respectively. These were the Kodoku Arrancars Lucifer had engineered. Lucifer walked up to the one with the red mask and led it forward.


“This is the final experiment.”


“Huh? Do you want me to kill it?”


Yeriel pointed at the red Arrancar, but Lucifer shook his head. He looked at her with indifferent eyes, his tone suggesting this was a trivial matter.


“Eat it.”


“What?”


Yeriel momentarily doubted her own ears. However, Lucifer merely gave her a cold, thin smile and repeated the command.


“Eat it. That is the final experiment.”


“Are you insane? That makes no sense!”


Yeriel shouted at him, but Lucifer remained perfectly calm as he spoke.


“You might not realize it, but there are limits to being a Soul Reaper, just as there are limits to being a Hollow. To transcend those limits, a Soul Reaper must break the boundary between themselves and a Hollow, and vice versa. By telling you to eat this, I am giving you a way to shatter that boundary.”


“But... you’re telling me to eat that?”


Yeriel understood the logic, but she couldn't bring herself to accept it. She looked at the creature with a look of pure disbelief. Though it wore a mask, it was still a humanoid being—over two meters tall and heavy-set. She shook her head violently at the thought of devouring it.


“I can’t. Give me anything else to do, but not this.”


As she pleaded, Lucifer’s expression shifted into one of profound sadness.


“A war with the Soul Reapers is coming.”


“A war?”


“Yes. We are about to enter a war for survival against the Soul Society. Unfortunately, the gap between the power of our Espada and the Soul Reapers' strength is... concerning. That is why I desperately need even one more powerful comrade by my side. I want you to eat that thing and transcend the limits of a Soul Reaper.”


“But even so... doing something like that...”


Yeriel’s voice softened as she listened to him. Lucifer reached out, his hand gently caressing her cheek as he spoke.


“I want you to be my strength, Yeriel. It would make me truly happy if you could stand by me as my power.”


“But...”


As his hand touched her face, Yeriel’s cheeks flushed red and her voice grew even weaker. Seeing his opening, Lucifer pulled her into a sudden embrace.


Crush.


“Please. You’re the only one I can trust. You must become strong for me.”


Wrapped in his arms, Yeriel couldn’t see the cold, calculating smirk that spread across Lucifer’s lips. Missing his sinister expression entirely, she finally whispered her submission to his plea.


“If you put it that way... how can I say no...?”


“Then I’ll leave you to it.”


Accepting that she would proceed with the experiment, Lucifer let her go and stepped out to give her space. Once he was gone, Yeriel’s gaze hardened with resolve. She approached the red Arrancar, closed her eyes, and opened her mouth wide.


CRUNCH! SNAP! RIP!


“Nngh... Hngh!”


The sounds of tearing flesh and grinding bone, accompanied by muffled sobs, leaked out of the laboratory to where Lucifer stood. Listening to the visceral slaughter, Lucifer let out a chilled laugh.


“As expected. You truly are my best Fracción... and my finest test subject.”


--------------------------------------------------------------------


Boom! Boom! Boom!


The 'Bad Boy' Lucifer’s project to turn Yeriel into a munchkin is officially underway!


Yeriel initially refused, but with just a few choice words and some physical contact, Lucifer quickly and naturally flipped her heart! Yeriel’s devotion to Lucifer is absolute—honestly, she might be more of a yandere than Is (female Aizen) at this rate!


Personally, I like characters with the 'dere' trait... and I don't mind yanderes either! Looking at 'Future Diary' (Mirai Nikki), I realized one thing: if you manage a yandere character well, they can be the best partner for a protagonist. Sure, they're terrifying, but their absolute obedience is a plus.


People say Yeriel is broken/OP, but she's still just at the level of having recently achieved Bankai. She’s barely strong enough to defeat the Septima Espada (Zommari), and even then, only if she hits him with Tenpa Josai. So, she isn’t quite stronger than Ichigo just yet.


Also, I deleted the Engetsu Kenmu 4th Form: Enten Hyakkasou (Flaming Sky Hundred Flower Funeral). It was just too ridiculously broken, so I removed it. Even without it, she feels a bit OP though.......


Anyway, I hope you enjoy!
