Well... It's time for me to check "that" ... Arachnee thought... It was the only way he could survive now that he had been spotted by one of the strongest hollows in Hueco Mundo…

Arachnee was centuries old, and before he hid under the sands of Hueco Mundo, he exhausted himself in creating what could be his masterpiece.

With his multiple hands, Arachnee started digging an enormous hole in the middle of the desert. His objective was clear.

After digging for what felt like hours, Arachnee felt at the Forest of Menos... That place hidden in Hueco Mundo where the inferior arrancar could hide from the dangers on the surface... He snuffed the air, and felt his own smell emanating from a nearby place. He hasted there and rejoiced in his own find:

Years before, Arachnee had created an ENORMOUS spider web in between the trees of the Menos Forest. He had used all his strength, and almost died in the process of creating this spider web with an energy core - A core strong enough to attract hollows, but weak enough to remain unnoticed by the stronger ones...

Not only that, but the spider web sustained itself by absorbing the energy of those it trapped. In this case, millions and millions of hollows that, attracted to the energy core, had gotten themselves trapped. This way, it did not matter the number of hollows that conglomerated. They would not alert anyone of this trap...

Arachnee started climbing his web; he saw the hollows that were trapped in his web. They looked almost dead, deprived from all the energy in their bodies. They were merely alive due to the high reiatsu in the atmosphere... Everything looked perfect for Arachnee... He walked swiftly over his domain, totally immune to its sticky effects.

However, as he neared the core of his web, he saw something was wrong... It seemed he had arrived just in time... any longer, and the core would have crumbled from absorbing so much energy. In fact, it was clearly malfunctioning... as instead of draining the hollows of their energy, it was slowly recovering their strength!!

"Crap, It's overload... This means my original plan of simply eating the core will not work... and in the worst of cases, it would drain my own energy and give it to these idiots!!"

He looked around and softly realized what he had to do

"I guess I'll have to eat every single hollow in this web... Fine with me"

However, it was not that easy... as he had to release each hollow singularly, and this carried the enormous risk of destroying his own web, releasing all the hollows at once.

"Ok... just concentrate... and think about this quietly. A wrong step and I could end up dead in the following massacre. Just go slowly and quietly... Ahh, I guess I'll start with this one..."

And so, Arachnee walked slowly to its first victim... It was really a matter of luck. His own "Masterpiece" would either backfire on him, or would give him the strength he needed to survive.

It's simply a matter of luck...
