Hearing Yusuke's words, Kuchiki Byakuya, Rukia Kuchiki, and Kōga Kuchiki exchanged glances, unsure of what Yusuke meant by "gaining a place in Las Noches."
Then, Yusuke briefly explained to them some relevant information about the Hōgyoku, the Kaidō, Hollowfication, Arrancar transformation, and other methods of enhancing the abilities of Shinigami or Hollows.
"In Las Noches, high-ranking Shinigami have already learned the ability of Perfect Hollowfication, using it to further increase their spiritual pressure. And all the Espada members have not only completed their Arrancar transformation but have also merged with the power of the Kaidō. Therefore, the reason why you are not their match is not your fault, but because you were never on the same starting line!" Yusuke said slowly.
After Yusuke's explanation, the expressions of Kuchiki Byakuya, Rukia Kuchiki, and Kōga Kuchiki improved significantly. They now understood that Kuchiki Byakuya's crushing defeat wasn't due to his individual skill, but due to the influence of many external factors.
"Yusuke-sama, does that mean you intend to teach us the method of Shinigami Hollowfication?" Kōga Kuchiki asked with anticipation.
In a world where personal value is measured by combat power, few can resist the temptation of power.
Not only Kōga Kuchiki, but Kuchiki Byakuya and Rukia Kuchiki also had a glimmer of anticipation in their eyes.
Yusuke smiled and nodded. "That's right, but there are some differences for each of you. Byakuya and Kōga, you two will use the normal method to complete Hollowfication, while I will use another method to enhance Rukia's power."
Hearing this, Rukia Kuchiki revealed a puzzled expression, while Kuchiki Byakuya seemed to have thought of something, asking Yusuke, "Is it because of the Hōgyoku inside Rukia?"
Yusuke smiled. "That's right! That Hōgyoku is the result of Urahara Kisuke's years of research, containing unimaginable power, which even Aizen coveted. I valued Rukia greatly in the Seireitei, so I won't extract the Hōgyoku, but will teach Rukia how to use it."
Since Yusuke already had a Hōgyoku made from Hollow souls, the Hōgyoku inside Rukia Kuchiki wasn't very useful to him.
It was a perfect opportunity to do a good deed and earn some goodwill.
As Yusuke expected, Kuchiki Byakuya and Rukia Kuchiki both revealed very grateful expressions, while Kōga Kuchiki was filled with envy.
Although they didn't know what kind of power the Hōgyoku could bring to Rukia Kuchiki, the fact that both Yusuke and Aizen, who seemed to be on the same level, greatly desired the Hōgyoku showed that it was definitely a treasure.
In the Seireitei, Kisuke Urahara could be said to have lost both face and substance. With impure motives, he had hidden the Hōgyoku inside Rukia Kuchiki, effectively gifting it to her.
But now, Kuchiki Byakuya and Rukia Kuchiki saw Urahara Kisuke as someone who had plotted against Rukia Kuchiki.
Although they didn't consider him a mortal enemy, they didn't have any good feelings towards him, and Kuchiki Byakuya even wanted to find an opportunity to teach Urahara Kisuke a lesson.
By the time Kuchiki Byakuya and his companions left Las Noches, the expressions on their faces were much more relaxed.
From Yusuke's actions, it was clear that he valued them greatly.
For members of a newly integrated faction, this could relieve their unease and anxiety.
"Byakuya, if Las Noches and the Seireitei go to war in the future, what will you do?" Kōga Kuchiki asked Kuchiki Byakuya.
Hearing Kōga Kuchiki's question, Rukia Kuchiki's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at her brother with a worried expression.
Kuchiki Byakuya said calmly, "The Kuchiki clan is no longer one of the Five Great Noble Houses of Soul Society."
Although Kuchiki Byakuya didn't say it explicitly, Kuchiki Kōga and Rukia Kuchiki knew the meaning of his words, which clearly indicated that he had completely sided with Las Noches.
Kuchiki Kōga had no objections to this and was even very satisfied.
Having been framed by the Central 46 nobles many years ago, he had already been on the verge of defecting and had no good feelings towards the Seireitei.
Rukia Kuchiki, on the other hand, still had many doubts in her heart. After all, she had many good friends in the Gotei 13, and she couldn't easily let them go.
The ability of Shinigami Hollowfication was a well-established technology in Las Noches.
The day after the banquet, the Shinigami of the Kuchiki clan, with the help of Mayuri Kurotsuchi, head of the Research and Development Department, had initially mastered the ability of Perfect Hollowfication.
After obtaining the Hollowfication ability, Kuchiki Byakuya and Kuchiki Kōga's strength had greatly increased.
Yusuke also told them that Hollowfication was just a seed of power, greatly increasing the upper limit of their spiritual pressure development.
But if they wanted to turn this upper limit into their actual strength, they still needed to undergo arduous training.
As for Rukia Kuchiki, she was temporarily residing in Las Noches, with Yusuke and Mayuri Kurotsuchi helping her to sense and master the power of the Hōgyoku within her soul.
The way that Kisuke Urahara had hidden the Hōgyoku was very ingenious, allowing Rukia Kuchiki, as the host, to not be able to sense the Hōgyoku's aura under normal circumstances. It was necessary to use some means to guide out the Hōgyoku's power.
However, in front of the technical expert Mayuri Kurotsuchi, this wasn't a difficult task.
After a short period of research, Rukia Kuchiki was already able to use the Hōgyoku's spiritual power to increase her own spiritual pressure.
The Hōgyoku's power was to gradually turn the user's desire for evolution into reality. Therefore, the process of Rukia Kuchiki's spiritual pressure increasing was a process of her yearning to become stronger from the bottom of her heart.
The stronger Rukia Kuchiki's desire for power, the more she could unleash the power of the Hōgyoku.
With Aizen's Hōgyoku in hand, Yusuke's plan to merge and create the ultimate Hōgyoku was two-thirds complete. The remaining third required a Hōgyoku made from the souls of Quincies.
For this plan, it was still necessary to defeat Yhwach.
Although it couldn't be realized in the short term, Yusuke had already begun to make preparations for the early stages.
And the preparation for the early stages involved a very key figure - the Quincy Uryū Ishida.
Although Uryū Ishida's current strength was insignificant, he was the only Quincy who could resist Yhwach's "Aushwählen" power, and even possessed a Quincy power that could threaten Yhwach.
Yhwach also valued Uryū Ishida's potential, bestowing upon him the most powerful "A" among the Sternritter and positioning him as the heir to the Wandenreich.
Although it was unknown why Uryū Ishida possessed such a strange power, this power must have an unknown relationship with Yhwach.
There weren't many Quincies that could be found in the world at this moment, and Uryū Ishida was the most worthy of research!
