-Due to Individuality and the Special Trait of Fujin an Evolution has occurred!

Layla's body began to glow also her Spirit Energy exploded outward in a bright Cyan light, the pressure crushing as she bypassed the High Level of Spirit energy straight into the Great category. Instead of growing larger, her body shrank slightly from the size of a car to about that of an adult gorilla while also turning into a Bipedilal being once again. Her paws turned into large furry hands, her back straightened as her breast grew in, her mask shrunk and receded no longer covering the back of her head as the bunny ears became more prominent, her mask now had cyan markings that accented her eyes giving her a more feminine look. Her hollow hole moved to the center of the abdomen as her fur covered the entirety of her body.

This promotion unlike the last one attracted a few visitors, the weaker ones died long before they could get too close just from the sheer weight on Layla's Spiritual pressure crushing their bodies. Yet the ones that made it closer weren't the same, but they all made way for one Hollow, in particular, Unlike the others, the Hollow had a centaur-like appearance. Long Green hair flowed freely from the back portion of her hollow mask as if it was a helmet. Her Mask was similar to that of a Ram with long curved horns.

When with her evolution completed Layla stood at a height of 7'9, opening her eyes she read the Spirit Matrix's prompts.

*Advancement and Evolution complete!*

Form: Gillian(Mutation)

"This is the first I have seen a Gillian like you." A feminine voice rang through the area that carried a grace Layla seemed to have forgotten about. Turning her head in the direction of the voice Layla was surprised by the figure that appeared. A brownish-green ibex-like centaur, complete with a black horse's tail. The Humanoid portion looked like a knight of old as even in her left arm there was a Lance like object.

"You, newly evolved Hollow, what is your name?" The voice contained no animosity but just genuine curiosity.

"Laylini…..Laylini Greeves." At first, her voice was slightly hoarse but when she spoke again a soft voice that didn't match her large appearance came out.

"I am Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck, a Vasto Lorde." When Layla heard this name she froze momentarily as she looked closer at the Hollow in front of her.

'Holy Shit that is Nel! Aside from the lack of skin being shown, she looks just like her release form on the show!' Inwardly trembling with excitement Layla looked at Nel closely.

"Your power surprises me, I felt your spiritual pressure growing at an alarming rate and I thought a powerful Adjucha or Vasto Lorde was being born yet it's a Gillian! Also from the fact that you can speak so soon after evolution means that you have been in control of your body this entire time and never lost yourself to instinct! In this boring world, I have been looking for company, everytime someone evolves I take the opportunity to see if they are worth my time!" Layla listens closely as Nel continued to ramble about her tribulations.

"Yet every time the Hollow that evolved is usually Male! I have no problems with Male hollows it's just that they are usually more murderous and bloodthirsty! I can't have a decent conversation with any of them! But now that you are here at least we can entertain each other, plus as a Vasto Lorde, I have no reason to hunt for souls to advance any more, when I first advanced I thought I could continue to gain power but no matter how many hollows I devoured nothing ever happened. Such a sad life I live!" Nel places her left hand on her head as she exhales heavily.

"Well, you still need to move forward huh? As a Gillian you can still advance so hunting the appropriate level Hollows is a requirement. Well okay! Just stick with me and ill help you out!" Nel's voice went up a few octets as she said the last few lines which really displayed her excitement.

Layla looked at the Hollow and front of her and saw the Nel of the future aligned perfectly with the Nel of today. And from that day on the Hollows of the Menos Forest never rested, forever in fear of this duo.

After an unknown amount of time the Soul Society went under drastic changes as 6 Captains and other seated officers were suddenly exiled as strange experiments started happening. 'Hollowfication' it was called as they were accused of trying to taint the 13 Court Guard Squads. With this Aizen started making his movements.
