How could it be completely opposite?
Rukia as the primary personality, Dark Rukia as the secondary personality, female, a Shinigami with Hollow powers.
Then the opposite would be...
Dark Rukia as the primary personality, Rukia as the secondary personality, male, and a Hollow with Shinigami powers—or perhaps even the opposite: 'a Quincy with human powers'!
The opposite of Shinigami is Quincy, and the opposite of Hollow is human. If that's the case, then the opposite existence created by cutting would be quite interesting.
If he slashed Aizen with one strike...
Information about Aizen flashed through Yoshio's mind.
Male Shinigami, cunning and profound, with the strongest illusion-type Zanpakuto, Kyōka Suigetsu.
Then the opposite existence would be...
Female, Quincy, straightforward personality, and as for the ability... would it still be Kyōka Suigetsu, or something completely opposite to illusions?
Thinking of this, Yoshio almost laughed out loud.
Though the ability was powerful, Dark Rukia's favorability toward him was less than forty, much lower than the main Rukia's.
She was clearly harder to deal with than the real Rukia; increasing her favorability wouldn't be easy.
Seeing Yoshio's grinning face, Dark Rukia suddenly felt that following him might not be reliable.
But Yoshio quickly composed himself and said: "Rukia, your Zanpakuto has changed. Are you still using the abilities of Sode no Shirayuki from before?"
Rukia's Zanpakuto was named Sode no Shirayuki. Although she hadn't officially taken awakened yet, before the Bull-Head Hollow incident, she had already mastered her Zanpakuto's Shikai.
But in Dark Rukia's state, Rukia's Zanpakuto had turned into a massive Shinigami scythe, and probably even the released abilities had changed.
That said, compared to wielding a Zanpakuto, the current Shinigami scythe actually fit the concept of a Shinigami better.
"Impressive..."
Rukia glanced at Yoshio, revealing a somewhat evil smile, and suddenly slashed at Yoshio again.
"You can try it yourself!"
She swung the massive Shinigami scythe, explosive reiatsu forming a whirlwind, the powerful wind pressure blowing Yoshio's hair into disarray.
"Destructive Death Ray!"
Yoshio extended his finger, and in an instant, a black light burst forth, that ferocious power blasting straight at Rukia!
?!
Rukia's pupils dilated instantly; she seemed unprepared for Yoshio to have such an ability. She had been advancing but quickly retreated, vanishing in a flash.
The Destructive Death Ray Yoshio released cut through the air, shooting into the distance, easily piercing the white walls and continuing onward.
Meanwhile, Rukia appeared directly behind Yoshio and immediately swung the Shinigami scythe she hadn't been able to use earlier at Yoshio's back.
But Yoshio's body also disappeared. He had diligently trained his speed, after all.
"Is it related to space? Can you teleport?"
Yoshio looked at Rukia and asked.
What Rukia had used just now wasn't Shunpo or Sonído. That movement left no traces, so Yoshio guessed it was spatial movement.
"I'm the most special Hollow, and also the most special Shinigami!"
Dark Rukia said with a smile: "Hollows all have their own forms, especially at the Adjuchas stage—they have so-called primal forms, mostly animals, but I'm different."
"My true form is a Shinigami, which allows me, as a Hollow, to possess true Shinigami abilities!"
"I can't teleport instantly; I can only appear beside the dead, and my slashes ignore any spiritual body's defenses."
As she spoke, she spun the Shinigami scythe in her hand, making it rotate like a windmill.
"If you're hooked by my 'Shinigami scythe,' it will leave permanent scars. Unless I actively forgive the opponent, they won't heal naturally no matter how much time passes!"
"What a dangerous ability..."
Yoshio narrowed his eyes. Ignoring defenses and leaving permanent scars was one thing, but the ability to appear beside any dead person—wasn't that a bit cheating?
This ability must have some weakness...
If there were truly no restrictions, the power would be too great.
However, he hadn't expected Rukia to expose her own weaknesses. Wasn't that a joke? Showing off her strength was already generous—who would deliberately tell others their weaknesses?
"What was that ability you used just now?" Rukia asked after explaining her ability, "That wasn't Kidō, right? Kidō isn't that strong!"
"That's called Destructive Death Ray. It's also an attack that ignores defenses." Yoshio didn't hide it. Since she had shown her ability, there was no need for him to conceal his.
He couldn't be shyer than a girl, could he?
"You're quite an interesting person—no wonder my primary personality got played by you."
"Hey, hey, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. I haven't been toying with Rukia." Yoshio said somewhat embarrassedly, "Saying that could lead to misunderstandings."
"Heh..."
"Though I don't want to interrupt you two, but... Hollow White's Cocoon Transformation seems to be ending."
Rukia was about to mock Yoshio when Starrk interrupted their conversation.
As soon as Starrk spoke, Yoshio immediately looked over.
He saw dense black cracks appearing on Hollow White's cocoon, accompanied by a hissing sound.
That sound was like some eerie chewing noise, and as it grew clearer, the cracks on the cocoon multiplied and widened.
With a crisp crack, the massive cocoon began to shed.
White material peeled off piece by piece, gradually revealing the evolving Hollow White inside the cocoon.
Hollow White's appearance didn't seem to have changed. If there was any change, it was some special patterns added to the mask on his face.
However, the spiritual pressure emanating from him was much stronger than before!
Moreover, Hollow White's eyes had become wiser. When Yoshio looked over, he found that Hollow White's favorability toward him had increased by ten points.
Now, Hollow White's favorability toward him had reached sixty-two, meaning Yoshio could use the 'Cocoon Transformation' ability once.
It seemed this guy knew that Yoshio had been protecting him during his evolution.
Yoshio smiled and said: "Those Shinigami outside are for you—want to go take a look?"
Roar!
Hollow White broke out of the cocoon, letting out a low roar, and instantly disappeared.
