A week later, Gabriel was rolling on his throne, laughing like an absolute maniac.
Why?
Because he had caught the intruders trying to sneak into his kingdom.
Oh, they thought they were sneaky. They thought they could waltz in, gather intel, and leave undetected.
Yeah. No.
Gabriel found their little entry point and decided to use a powerful technique that gamers in the future would love to use but hate when it happened to them.
The very simple act of... spawn camping.
You may wonder, who did he send to meet his visitors? Simple, really.
Nelliel and Belial.
The second and third strongest. Ulquiorra was too busy getting pushed to his limits every single day—he was being trained to become the next Horseman of Death. Sure, he had Segunda Etapa, but he was still... weak.
Too weak to fit the Horseman category... yes, the requirements were that high.
Anyway, while Ulquiorra was busy getting some 2010-2012 Messi-level growth and boost...
When that man came out, Gabriel expected to see progress. Expected him to at least keep up with Harribel... yeah, there was no keeping up with Starrk. The man somehow, someway, could still keep up with Gabriel. He was training a lot.
You may wonder why.
He found out that if he was training, he wouldn't get bothered with paperwork, and he'd be damned if he got caught lacking doing that shit.
Anyway, back to how Gabriel was spawn camping the Shinigami.
What happened next was glorious.
To say the Stealth Force got annihilated would be an understatement.
They never even stood a chance.
The moment they got close—BZZZT—BOOM! Dead.
Another tried to escape? BZZZT—BOOM! Dead.
Oh, you think you can be slick and hide in the shadows? Belial sends his regards.
By the time it was over, Gabriel had about 100 fresh bodies to study.
Hahahahahaha! This was too fun!
Honestly, he should thank Tokinada for the free test subjects.
Time Skip –
The Hollow Empire was now officially a decade old.
Yay!
Gabriel was happy. Everything was running smoothly.
Ulquiorra had finally accepted his position as one of the Four Horsemen, though there was still one spot left.
And training him like a madman was actually working great. The man's Segunda Etapa was now even stronger, even more primal, something he could tap into for more power at any time.
Well, that was good.
As for Gabriel's army... well.
Stronger than ever.
At this point, regular Vasto Lordes were no longer a challenge. Even the lesser Sins could wipe the floor with them.
So, what did his warriors do for fun?
Beat the hell out of each other.
It was free training and entertainment. A win-win.
Hueco Mundo was thriving.
And Gabriel?
Gabriel was in paradise.
Gabriel would never give away his life to anyone. He was at the peak of his existence, and he was practically immortal. He hoped his future self would enjoy this life well and not get too greedy.
He had the Seven Sins for that. He himself shouldn't get blinded by greed.
Maybe want more cuddles, yes. Want his sausage to fall asleep on her tits... was that such a big ask?
Like, come on, it was a very small ask if he said so himself.
Lying on his massive bed, Gabriel was the epitome of satisfaction.
Harribel in one arm.
Sun-Sun in the other.
Life was great. Life was good.
He sighed happily, listening to the soft whimpers of the two very exhausted women next to him.
Yeah... he didn't hold back.
With his abilities, winning a two-on-one team-up was laughably easy.
Oh, life was beautiful.
But now, it was time to get back to work.
The next day, when he woke up, he made sure to give both women a light peck on the cheek.
Then, he went to his studies to see what he had found.
After years of research, Gabriel had finally figured out what those unique humans were.
Fullbringers.
He had dissected, experimented, and analyzed every Shinigami, Hollow, and Plus he could get his hands on to understand them.
This also meant... that... he... was a Fullbringer before he died.
When he was a human, he was a Fullbringer.
And now?
He had a plan.
He went to the throne room.
Waiting for him was Nelliel.
Her mission was simple.
Gabriel had crafted a Gigai specifically for her—one that completely suppressed her Hollow energy.
She would go to the Human World and search for Fullbringers.
To aid her, he had created a device that could detect them.
Let's just say...
He had to experiment on a LOT of test subjects to perfect it.
The plan was straightforward.
Offer the Fullbringers sanctuary in the Hollow Empire—a place where they wouldn't be hunted.
Was he using the fact that Soul Reapers were hunting Fullbringers for his plan... yes.
Did that mean he should do it?
Soul Society was hunting them down. He was just offering them shelter.
He was being quite benevolent if he said so himself.
Truly the kindest king to ever exist in this world. No one was kinder than him.
He truly was kind.
What about the murders...?
What murders?
Gabriel was an angel, with two pointy horns on his head. Truly, the gift that the devil gave to the world.
Hm...
Gabriel watched as Nell left. She was working fine. If more emotions were needed and he actually needed someone to join his army, he would send Nell.
If he wanted to just kill someone? Send Grimmjow.
If he wanted a methodical approach? Ulquiorra it was.
TL;DR, he had a Sin for basically everything.
