-Back in Hueco Mundo-

'System, how long has it been?' he asked.

He had finally managed to achieve his goal, but it had taken almost twice as long as he had expected. Turns out mass murdering the very slowly replenishing population of high level Hollow makes them harder to find. Not only that, but they started being more cautious making the fewer around even harder to find.

[Answer: 4 months 22 days 0 hours 32 minutes 41 seconds]

'Can you give me a summary of my progress during that time?' he continued.

[+5,207,280 XP from Hollow]

[+255,200 Spirit Power from Hollow]

[+25 Levels]

[+25 Stat points]

'Ok. System, show me my status.' he requested.

He was feeling a familiar sensation again. Like he was a balloon stretched to its bursting point and could blow up any moment if he stopped suppressing it. He needed to evolve again and this time he needed a somewhat secure location, after last time he wouldn't mind a little extra peace of mind.

In Hueco Mundo there was only one group of individuals he trusted though.

He made his way to their cave base. It seemed he was in luck because all four of them were already there.

"Hey Harribel, it's been a while." Hisashi said.

Harribel smiled. "Yes, it has," she said.

"So what brings you here?" she asks him curiously.

"I've reached the threshold for Vasto Lorde and am currently holding back my transformation," he explained.

Harribel seemed surprised, but didn't ask him for further information. Everyone in Hueco Mundo had their own secrets.

"What?!" Apachi yelled indignantly when she heard what he said.

"How are you already transforming?" she continued.

"Calm down Apachi. He'll tell us when he is ready," Harribel said calmly.

"Congratulationsss... you aren't going to leave us poor little women behind once you don't need us anymore, right?" Sung-Sun said teasingly.

"How could I ever abandon my harem palace," he joked.

Apachi furiously kicked him with her hind leg, but it wasn't able to do much damage to him.

"You bastard! Who's your harem! I hope you explode when you try to transform," she yelled before storming off.

Sung-Sun merely chuckled. "Oh. Well then you better take good care of us... hus-band..." she said seductively.

Even Mila Rose couldn't help smiling at Apachi's little tantrum.

"So why are you here?" Harribel asks in curiosity.

"I was hoping to have you watch over me while I transform. Just to be safe," Hisashi explained.

"Of course. We'd gladly help. Well most of us at least," Harribel said.

They ended up finding him a secluded place where he set up his barrier in preparation for the burst of energy that would be unleashed during his evolution.

The four ladies were watching him attentively. Both because they were concerned for him and also because he was somewhat an oddity among the Hollow. Not only that, but other than Harribel the other three had never seen or experienced a Hollow becoming a Vasto Lorde and a small part of them hoped witnessing it might help them in achieving the same themselves in the future.

"Do you think he can actually do it?" Apachi asked with some worry.

"Oh, you're able to be honest when he can't hear you?" Sung-Sun asked teasingly.

"S-shut up Sung-Sun!" Apachi yelled in embarrassment.

"Just let it go, you know how she is," Mila Rose told Sung-Sun.

"But it's so much fun," Sung-Sun said happily.

"Something is happening," Harribel warned and shielded the others behind her just to be safe.

Large amounts of ambient spirit energy started swirling around Hisashi entering his body like he was some kind of black hole. His body started lighting up from the sheer amount of energy being crammed in until he was shining bright white.

His form started shrinking until he was only 6 foot 4(193 cm). All of his muscles compacted until his silhouette looked mostly human aside from still having 2 pairs of arms and a set of wings on his back.

As his transformation progressed the spirit pressure was growing so powerful it was distorting the very air around him.

The Tres Bestias gasped at the changes, but Harribel was unsurprised having gone through the same herself.

Eventually the pressure was suppressed and the light died down revealing his new look.

He had four arms ending in blades that like his mask had a bone-like texture to them. His mask had receded to his above his mouth and stopped covering his eyes revealing parts of his human-like face and a full head of hair was growing from below his mask revealing a black mane. His mask had grown to cover most of his body forming a kind of insectoid armour leaving only the lower half of his face, neck and pale chiseled torso uncovered from the bone-like material.

"It looks like he's done," Harribel said happily. 

"W-wow."  Apachi stammered.

Mila Rose nodded in approval while Sung-Sun just licked her lips.
