Roughly guessing the effect of Hōgyoku, Sosuke was shocked beyond words.

But when he thought about how Hōgyoku could help him fulfill his wishes, excitement filled his eyes, unable to hide his joy.

After suppressing his excitement, Sosuke softly asked, "Hōgyoku, why did my injury disappear? Is it your ability?"

Upon hearing Sosuke's question, Hōgyoku's childish voice replied, "I simply eliminated Lord Aizen's discomfort. It's effortless for Hōgyoku. As for my ability, I don't know. Hōgyoku just wants to fulfill Lord Aizen's wishes."

The voice was crisp but had a determined immaturity.

After hearing its response, Sosuke pushed his glasses and had a slightly determined look in his eyes. At this moment, he was mostly certain about Hōgyoku's ability; perhaps it was just as it claimed!

The ability to fulfill others' wishes!

If that was the case, then this guy truly was an unparalleled existence!!!

After a brief moment of contemplation, Sosuke calmly spoke, "Hōgyoku, can you help me remove the restrictions on my chakra within my body?"

If Hōgyoku could do that, its ability would be unquestionable!

A wish-like ability! It was truly incredible!

Before Sosuke could finish his thoughts, Hōgyoku's childish voice came from the depths of his mind.

"Is Lord Aizen referring to the gates within your body that block the flow of chakra?"

Hearing these words, a longing expression appeared on Sosuke's face, as if he was impatient to open those gates!

He forced himself to calm down, and in a calm voice, he said, "Yes, help me break through these gates that restrict the flow of chakra within my body. By doing so, you will be able to consume more chakra from within me in the future."

"Yes! Lord Aizen, it might be very troublesome, and it may consume the power that Hōgyoku has just recovered. But since this is Lord Aizen's command, Hōgyoku will do its best to accomplish it."

Then, the voice stopped.

Inside Sosuke's room, it became quiet.

Only Sosuke sat on the wooden step, looking at his own body with a slightly heavy gaze, carefully sensing the impending changes.

"Crack!"

Like the gentle cracking of an eggshell or the sound of tender shoots pushing through the muddy soil after rain, the sound of Sosuke's body undergoing transformation resounded!

Sosuke stared blankly at his own body!

In an instant!

The once calmly flowing chakra within his body became as turbulent and powerful as boiling lava, surging wildly within him like roaring waves!

The chakra was almost uncontrollable!

It continuously overflowed from Sosuke's body, forming a powerful chakra cloak around him.

Inside the room, the vigorously flowing chakra formed a gust of wind, blowing the objects within the room helter-skelter.

Feeling the immense power surging within him, Sosuke couldn't help but feel excited, a smile of excitement forming at the corner of his mouth!

This... this was truly a captivating power... seemingly endless... even the pulsation of his heart was becoming stronger... and all of this was just from opening the first gate!

Thinking this, the excitement in Sosuke's eyes grew stronger.

"Hōgyoku!!! Open the second gate for me too!!!"

Hōgyoku didn't respond to Sosuke's voice.

But!

Within Sosuke's body, the sound of another "crack" resonated once again!

A more powerful chakra, swirling like a tornado, erupted from Sosuke's body.

The objects in the room even started to shatter under the impact of this intense airflow!

Above Sosuke's body,

Suddenly, a blood vessel on the surface of Sosuke's body burst, and blood splattered out!

But before the blood could hit the ground, the wound quickly healed under the influence of Hōgyoku.

However, Sosuke didn't pay attention to this detail. He tilted his head back, basking in the boiling chakra, thoroughly enjoying the powerful sensation!

His originally calm and gentle eyes seemed to be filled with desire due to this overwhelming power.

Just then...

As Sosuke was about to break through the third gate...

The turbulent chakra within his body started to calm down slightly, flowing through the forcibly widened meridians at a gentler pace.

"Hōgyoku?"

After waiting for some time, the anticipated third gate didn't open.

Feeling a sense of silence, Sosuke questioned with some doubt.

Inside the room, where the chakra still raged, no one answered his question.

"Could this guy have fallen asleep again?"

Sosuke muttered softly, not getting a response.

Without dwelling on it, he gradually shifted his focus to his body, which had opened the Gate of Opening and the Gate of Healing.

Sensing the immense amount of chakra, he couldn't help but feel excited.

It was easily more than ten times the previous amount of chakra!

And it seemed that the gates opened by Hōgyoku were different from the teachings of the Eight Gates Formation.

If the Eight Gates Formation was like a splendid fireworks display, then Sosuke's current state was like a continuously burning candle!

The Eight Gates Formation forcibly breaks the restrictions of the body's gates, instantly granting a massive amount of chakra.

Undoubtedly, such a method can provide explosive power and chakra, but it greatly damages the body's meridians!

Even for a ninja who has undergone years of chakra training, the body's network of meridians still struggles to withstand such a powerful influx of chakra.

But Sosuke was different!

Under the influence of Hōgyoku, his gates were permanently open!

The surging and abundant chakra now permanently remained in his body. Although this would pose a great risk to his meridians, with the presence of Hōgyoku, his meridians were greatly widened!

Hōgyoku! Following its master's will, it fundamentally changed Sosuke's physical meridian state, allowing the two gates to remain open permanently.

It must be said that Sosuke's current state was akin to having two gates open at all times!

Both his chakra and physical abilities had been greatly enhanced!

However, because Hōgyoku had exhausted most of its power to fulfill Sosuke's desires, it fell into a deep slumber after only opening two gates!

And so, Sosuke carefully experienced this tremendous power.

He gradually tamed the rampaging chakra.

Gradually, the once turbulent chakra within his body began to stabilize and flow calmly.

If the previous chakra within Sosuke's body was like a meandering stream, then now it resembled a calm yet surging river!
