Sora left his inner world.
His basic panel had changed again:
[Basic Abilities (Shinigami):
Spiritual Pressure lv95
Zanjutsu lv95
Kido lv90
Hakuda lv90
Shunpo lv90
Hollowfication lv1]
[Basic Abilities (Hollow)
High-Speed Regeneration lv90
Hierro lv90
Cero lv90
Sonído lv1
The Shinigami abilities list had a new 'Hollowfication' entry, and a new 'Hollow' abilities list was added.
The Hollow abilities only work during Hollowfication.
Sora's eyebrow twitched when he saw the stats for his Hollow power.
The starting stats were extremely high!
He had been a captain for over twenty years, and his Zanjutsu, Kido, Hakuda, and Shunpo had improved a lot, all reaching level 90 or higher.
A level 90 stat was something only a captain-level expert, who had mastered that path, could reach.
Many new captains only had their Spiritual Pressure at level 90. If they had one or two other stats at 90, they were considered outstanding in those areas.
Sora no longer had any weak points. Any one of his stats was outstanding among the captains.
His Zanjutsu was top-tier in the Soul Society, at the level of a master swordsman who could start his own school.
After his low and mid-level Kido skills reached the Grandmaster level, and he mastered many high-level Kido, his Kido stat also reached 90.
After mastering many strong Hakuda and Shunpo skills, those stats reached this level too.
The level 90 barrier was extremely high. Most Shinigami could never cross it in their lifetime.
And yet, his starting Hollow stats had three abilities directly at level 90!
Sora raised his hand in front of his face. White matter appeared and quickly formed a white mask.
The mask fit his face. It had two intersecting slits, like a slanted cross-shaped scar.
The upper parts of the slits allowed his eyes to see out.
Sora's eyes also changed. The whites of his eyes turned black, and his pupils turned white.
Dragon-like horns with three points, like frozen lightning, extended from the mask's temples.
Sora felt the surge of power. After Hollowfying, his Spiritual Pressure was greatly boosted.
[Spiritual Pressure lv95 (+1)]
"Hollowfication boosts your original stats... My Spiritual Pressure is strong, so after Hollowfying, I immediately have High-Speed Regeneration, Hierro, and Gran Rey Cero."
Sora understood why his Hollow stats were so high. His foundation was already excellent.
Unlike his Quincy power, his Hollow power was closely linked to his Shinigami power. It wasn't separate, so it didn't have to start from zero.
"The level of 'Hollowfication' is related to its duration and boost... A higher level means it lasts longer."
Sora looked at the 'Hollowfication' stat, which was only lv1.
At lv1, the duration was very short, only about 10 seconds. The mask quickly began to fade.
But Sora's Spiritual Pressure was strong and recovered fast. He could Hollowfy again after a short rest.
With a thought, Sora spent some unassigned General Experience on 'Hollowfication'.
[Hollowfication lv10 (0/200)]
'Hollowfication' increased from lv1 to lv10.
Sora formed the mask again. He felt the Spiritual Pressure boost was a little stronger, about 10% more than before.
It wasn't enough to raise his Spiritual Pressure by a full level, so the panel didn't change.
He drew his Zanpakutō, his Spiritual Pressure surged, and he swung.
A red Getsuga plowed a deep trench in the ground, shooting into the giant rocks of the Forest of Menos.
Boom—!!!
The giant rocks hit by the red light instantly turned to dust.
"So I can release a Cero as a slash."
Sora was very happy with this Cero-Getsuga Tenshō. It was several times stronger than his original.
After a moment, the mask faded again.
"After raising 'Hollowfication' to lv10, the duration is 100 seconds."
Sora estimated the duration. It seemed every level added 10 seconds.
"My Hollowfication is stable... Kagehime won't cause trouble."
Sora's Hollow power was very stable. He wouldn't lose control.
He still had a lot of unassigned General Experience.
He had 50,000 left from the 400,000 he got when his Shinigami disciples became captains.
His Quincy disciples' training and promotions had earned him 110,000 General Experience.
Nelliel and Harribel evolving into Vasto Lorde gave him 200,000 General Experience.
Nelliel becoming Queen of Hueco Mundo gave him a shocking 500,000 General Experience.
In total, he had 860,000 unassigned General Experience.
He looked at his Spiritual Pressure panel.
[Spiritual Pressure lv95 (169000/500000)]
Over the past twenty years, his Spiritual Pressure had gained over 100,000 experience.
This was his natural growth rate without spending General Experience.
After his Zanpakutō awakened, he had fully merged with Batsu'unsai Katori's Reigai, becoming a new spiritual body.
Since then, his Spiritual Pressure growth was different from other Reigai and could increase normally.
In other words, in a few hundred years, his Spiritual Pressure could naturally reach lv100, the First-Rank Spiritual Class.
But Sora couldn't wait that long. The 'Lord of Hell' wouldn't give him that much time.
With a thought, he first spent 29,000 General Experience on Hollowfication.
[Hollowfication lv56 (0/2000)]
Hollowfication increased from lv10 to lv56.
Then he spent the remaining 831,000 General Experience on Spiritual Pressure.
[Spiritual Pressure lv97 (0/500000)]
Spiritual Pressure increased from lv95 to lv97. His Spiritual Pressure skyrocketed!
The surging Spiritual Pressure was like a wild horse, rushing out of his body.
It grew so fast that Sora couldn't control it at first.
The Reishi turbulence outside his body formed a blast wave as strong as a mid-to-high level Kido.
BOOM!!!
The ground beneath Sora vanished. The violent Reishi sphere crushed everything.
Outside the sphere, shockwaves spread out, shattering all the rock pillars in their path.
Nearby Hollows were caught in the blast, and their screams echoed.
After a while, Sora got used to the new Spiritual Pressure, and the surge calmed down.
The sphere faded, leaving a 20-30 meter wide crater.
"This is a huge increase... No wonder Old Man Yama's Bankai evaporates all the water in Soul Society..."
"If he kept it up, the whole Soul Society would probably burn..."
Sora sensed his spiritual body. The increase was shocking.
The Spiritual Pressure stats on the panel referred to his full power in Shikai and Bankai.
The higher the level, the bigger the gap between each level.
His current normal Spiritual Pressure was already higher than his Shikai Spiritual Pressure from before.
It was even close to his Bankai Spiritual Pressure from before the upgrade.
