Chapter 49 - Hierarchy (49)

Alright, it's been a few months, Gabriel was officially like a one-year-old, yay, fun.

The strongest one year in existence, he was truly living the hollow life, well who cares, he was king and had a hot wife.

He had finally gotten used to seeing his meat there, her hollow hole was basically where her womb was supposed to be, he still wondered how the nut did not just fall out.

Anyway, in those 4 months, which included setting a system up, creating some arrancar, strengthening his army, you know the good stuff, and pipping his wife at night.

Yeah, that was also extremely important, alongside training her 3 followers, they were stronger just not strong, strong.

They were quite ass at card games though.

Their mission was never in territory where he could sense something that could/would kill them, so they were usually within Sonido's distance from him.

So anywhere within like a 20-mile radius, they were practically one sonido away.

He was hoping to change that to half a sonido.

Anyway, while he increased his own strength by training every single day, he also trained with the goat Adjucha, apparently the man's name was Belial Cabrón, Gabriel had personally started training this man.

Over the past 4 months, this hollow had been getting the best treatment and 5-star meals, souls, all in order to stimulate his soul enough for him to reach vastolorde, shit was way too easy.

With Gabriel's power, as long as the hollow had the mindset for it, and Gabriel had enough souls, anyone could basically become a vastolorde, shit was draining on resources though, like 20k Gillian had to be sacrificed for this evolution.

Anyway, Belial in fact did not have the potential for vastolorde, he however reached vastolorde strength as an Adjucha so, hey, that work I guess.

Anyway, Gabriel had set up a new system, the system was simple.

This hierarchical system ensured that power flowed upwards, rewarding those who proved their worth and eliminating those too weak to keep up.

At the heart of this system were three primary ranks: the Lesser Sins, the Seven Deadly Sins, and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, each representing a different level of power and authority. However, even below these elite warriors existed a structured path to ascension, allowing any Hollow to climb the ranks through sheer will, strength, and loyalty to Gabriel.

1. Foot Soldiers (The Lowest Tier of the Hierarchy)

At the very bottom of the system were the basic foot soldiers—mindless, expendable Hollows that served as the first line of offense and defense. These Hollows had little individuality or power, their sole purpose being to obey orders and overwhelm enemies with sheer numbers.

Composition: Mostly of hollows that haven't reached Menos Grande Tier.

Purpose: Used for reconnaissance, territorial defense, and battles where sheer quantity mattered more than quality.

Fate: If a foot soldier showed promise—either through exceptional strength, intelligence, or adaptability—they would be trained extensively and pushed toward the next stage of Hollow evolution:

 Gillian.2. The Transition: From Gillian to Adjucha

Once a Hollow displayed enough potential, they would be forced through intense training and combat to reach the Gillian stage.

Gillian Tier: These massive, mindless beings typically lacked individuality, but those that did retain their sense of self would be further nurtured by Gabriel's system.

Path to Adjucha: Once turned into a Gillian Gabriel would evolve them into Adjucha

At the Adjucha stage, a Hollow's trajectory in Gabriel's empire was determined.

3. The Lesser Sins: The Path to True Power

Upon reaching the Adjucha stage, the Hollow was no longer considered a mere soldier but was now eligible to become a Lesser Sin—the direct subordinates of the Seven Deadly Sins.

They currently only have 3 members, give Gabriel a break, he only started managing stuff like 4 months ago.

Selection Process: An Adjucha could either be chosen by one of the Seven Deadly Sins or prove themselves worthy of joining a particular Sin's faction.

Sin Alignment: Once under the command of a Sin, they would inherit a "Lesser Sin" title, a trait reflective of the greater Sin they served.

For example, an Adjucha under Sloth could be given the title Laziness, Idleness, Indolence, or Sluggishness.Similarly, under Wrath, one could be given the title Rage, Fury, or Bloodlust.

However, Gabriel did not allow just anyone to become a Lesser Sin. Before officially joining, an Adjucha had to be transformed into an Arrancar—unless they showed exceptional promise for reaching Vasto Lorde. In such cases, Gabriel would personally ensure that they evolved into Vasto Lorde first before breaking their mask.

However that shit had a very slim chance to happen, who could have thought Vastolorde would be rare.

Advantages of Being a Lesser Sin:Direct training from an elite Arrancar.A structured path to strength and potential evolution.Once strong enough, they could challenge their superior and take their place within the Seven Deadly Sins.

Basically once you were a sin, it didn't mean your position was guaranteed, as your subordinate were allowed to challenge you, once per month for your role and rank.

Thus, the Lesser Sins were the stepping stone to absolute power, bridging the gap between the weak and the elite.

4. The Seven Deadly Sins: The Captains of the Empire

At the pinnacle of Gabriel's structured military were the Seven Deadly Sins—seven elite Arrancar who embodied the very essence of the sins they represented.

Power Level: Each member was equivalent to a Shinigami Captain or a Sternritter, with some far surpassing that standard.

Origins: Chances were, anyone who became one of them, was a vastolorde beforehand, except Belial, he was an Adjucha, anyone tldr, this was to say, only strong as hollow could join such a rank.

As long as their spirit class was 3 and above, they could enter. So captain level was the baseline.

Identification: Every Sin bore a tattoo somewhere on their body that reflected their assigned Sin, marking them as one of the elite.

The current Seven Deadly Sins, since Gabriel had only recently established his rule, had only three confirmed members:

Envy - Belial Cabrón

Originally an Adjucha with a distinctive goat-like appearance.

Upon becoming an Arrancar, he was significantly enhanced by Gabriel's power.

Envy's power allowed him to mimic and replicate the abilities of others, making him one of the most versatile warriors in the army.

Greed - Aaroniero Arruruerie

Originally a Gillian, Aaroniero was subjected to Gabriel's Idle Transfiguration, allowing him to evolve into an Adjucha, and then an Arrancar.

His ability to consume other Hollows and absorb their abilities made him the perfect embodiment of Greed.

With no limit to his consumption, he could continuously grow stronger by devouring powerful foes.

Lust - Tier Harribel

While Harribel isn't traditionally "lustful," Lust in a broader sense represents desire, attachment, and deep emotional connection.

Her protective nature over her Fracción and strong-willed personality fit Lust's deeper meaning.

Plus she was hella strong, though not strong enough for the group even higher up.

This group would be a compromise of the strongest hollow, hell...he means Hueco Mundo had to offer.

5. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: The Ultimate Elite

They would be the peak of his army.

Unlike regular Arrancar, these four were to be personally modified by Gabriel, granting them access to power only the most elite among Arrancar had: The Ability to have a second release state.

Tldr, another transformation.

He wonders what to call it.

Power Level: These four would be leaps and bounds above the rest, a symbol of strength.

Selection Process: As of now, no one had proven themselves worthy of becoming a Horseman, but in time, Gabriel would find them.

Identification: Each of the Four Horsemen would bear a unique ring signifying their role:

Death - Black Ring

Conquest - Green Ring

Famine - Yellow Ring

War - Red Ring

Once appointed, these warriors would act as Gabriel's right hand, standing only below him in the hierarchy. The Seven Deadly Sins, strong as they were, would still bow to the might of the Horsemen.

Also Tldr, the rings were not there for the cool factor, they were needed in order to facilitate the second release form, once they pour enough Reiatsu into it. The Ring would fuse into them, unlocking 100% of their potential, and granting them access to power they didn't even know they had.

The weak could ascend through merit. The strong could thrive under discipline. The elite would shape history under his rule.

A/N ALL Hail the King.
