The sound of the hardened wings’ joints sliding against each other bellowed with a subtle echo over the dunes. Each stride caused them to shift along the Hollow’s back while folded against it, pieces of stone even seemingly falling from their surface. For a moment he is taken away from his admiration of his invader, as the world away from them reconstructs itself in the background. The castle that was, and had been for centuries came under new management.. as well as new architecture. This he could appreciate, even in a random moment such as this. Reiryoku seems to seep through his stony skin, each step he takes creating a smooth surface where sand once was. The statues had been destroyed forcefully, a feat that was not to be taken lightly or.. gone unpunished. Or perhaps, just as the winds of change had swept through Las Noches, they’d needed to touch upon his domain as well. He continues to walk forward, not directly approaching the God-King but lingering in his direction all the same. He looks up at him, golden orbs taking in the stature of such a stranger creature. So much power, packed inside that body? He could feel, but not quite understand or comprehend the extent of the God-King’s innate destruction.
Hardened knuckles dig beneath him, as his walking stature becomes reminiscent of a simian in nature. Close inspection would reveal the sliding of muscle around the hollow’s throat area, akin to one that swallows before speaking. A mighty jaw unhinges to reveal a mouth of near-vampiric teeth, sharp to no end. A ghastly breath escapes, and it seems words wanted to as well, until-
“Man, you should loosen up! Why so stiff pal!?”
An arrancar all the same, vibrant locks of purple hair swinging about as he conversed with one of the many statues in an animated fashion.
“Wow, giving me the silent treatment huh? What, you think you’re better than me punk?! STOP BEING RUDE ASSHOLE!!”
Quite obviously the statue did not answer, and would not answer; nor would any of them. What type of fool was this? Or.. was it a fool at all. In fact, when did he get here? How did he approach without the slightest sign of his arrival, there hadn’t even been a spec of something sensible coming from his person, yet here he was. The God King gazes down upon him, but not with eyes of hunger or disgust, but in a way they radiated respect. Was this other arrancar looked at as an equal or something close? How strong were they both?
“Tch, whatever. Forget you too! I’ll just talk to one of these other cool guys. Aint that right?!”
The fool persists, and for the moment would be ignored. He had to figure out how to replace his broken masterpieces, or just maybe… replace them all. His mouth opens again, maybe words would flow through this time, but instead-
RUUUUUAHHHHH
A vicious yell comes howling, similar to the Vagido that shook Hueco Mundo just moments before. From the monstrous scream comes a vacuum of wind that first pulls all closer, before a shockwave follows to expand outward. Beneath the roar’s undertone crackling could be heard with an increase in volume-
Crack - Crack - Crack
Each one of the statues erupts simultaneously from the vocal command, and from each of them comes a trail of spiritual energy that acts as a lesser piece of a whole. They spiral about in the sky before colliding within themselves, collapsing to form a spherical dome of reiatsu around the hollow. Brief glimpses of what’s hidden within reveal reiryoku previously within each statue being consumed into the adjuchas’ body. Waves of that very same chartreuse reiryoku pulsate in a clean mile radius around them, only a second or two separating each wave. His guests, if not taking the proper countermeasures, would soon welcome an ominious feeling. Every action they took would feel slower, and slower, increasing with every pulse, its magnitude even more present with those closest to him. It was clear that there was a near incomprehensible amount of power gained by ingesting the entirety of his collection, but what was the goal beyond that?
