Gathering at the Tokoyo Residence

"Tokoyo Misao, so why do I hear not a trace of reverence for the Soul King in your words?"

"Respect is not just something you say, it's something you feel in your heart. I have the utmost respect for the Soul King."

Tokoyo Misao shook his head slightly twice and spoke again.

"Now that you've completely merged with Soul Society, you should be able to hear the Soul King's words, right?"

Kenpachi Azashiro calmly met Misao's gaze, remaining silent for a long time.

But his Zanpakuto Urozakuro, launched into a long, rambling monologue. "Then you're wrong."

We can't hear the Soul King's voice at all.

But you can often hear those guys from Squad Zero having parties, making noise, and even fighting.

There were also sounds of people taking baths, singing, and hammering metal. It was so annoying.

"But all these years, no matter how hard we try, we have been unable to hear the Soul King's voice."

"You know what? If it weren't for the Squad Zero intervening back then, we wouldn't have obediently returned to the Muken."

After returning, I talked with Sōya many times, trying to find out whether the Soul King had rejected the plan.

"But there's nothing we can do, we can't get in touch with them."

Tokoyo Misao's brow twitched slightly; it seemed his guess was wrong.

Even in his current state, Kenpachi Azashiro is unable to establish contact with the sealed Soul King.

"Ichibē Hyōsube."

Tokoyo Misao softly murmured the name, it instantly made Kenpachi Azashiro's eyes widen.

After a moment, he regained his composure and spoke softly:

"As one of the Five Great Noble Clans, it's quite normal for you to know so much."

His expression was completely calm, showing no remorse or regret whatsoever.

"Regardless, as the Soul King's representative, his interference in my plans signifies the Soul King's disapproval."

Tokoyo Misao pondered for a long time.

Since we can't use Kenpachi Azashiro to contact the Soul King, we'll talk to him face-to-face later.

The existing plans and objectives remain unchanged.

His eyes flickered a few times, then he smiled and said:

"Really? What if I told you that Soul King was already usurped by the monk?"

"It's possible that the Soul King has long wanted to leave that position, and was even willing to create an entity capable of killing him."

"What are you talking about? Those are Royal Guard, the Squad Zero." Kenpachi Azashiro's tone became noticeably urgent.

Judging from his reaction, he may have had doubts about Squad Zero for a long time.

After all, the Soul King Palace is not located outside the Soul Society, so Kenpachi Azashiro, who is integrated with the Soul Society's Reishi, is also included.

In fact, it is possible to probe the information inside the Soul King Palace; Urozakuro has already proven this from her words.

Kenpachi Azashiro probably saw the Soul King with his severed limbs, used as a battery on the throne.

Different kinds of doubts had already arisen.

They just haven't been willing to admit it.

"I plan to kill the monk and find an opportunity to have a face-to-face talk with the Soul King."

Tokoyo Misao uttered these treasonous words in a lighthearted tone.

"Sōya, Sōya! Did you hear that? I told you there was something wrong with that place, didn't I? You sent me to monitor it, and what have I been seeing every day?"

"Now even the Hell Guardians and the Tokoyo Clan are planning to take action against them."

"Let's get involved too, let's launch an attack!"

Urozakuro wrapped her arms around Kenpachi Azashiro's neck and whispered quickly in his ear.

She didn't want Sōya to continue living in Muken isolation.

I will encourage him to leave here whenever I have the chance.

Kenpachi Azashiro Narrowed his eyes. "Are you trying to form an alliance with me?"

You should know what Aizen is doing.

Perhaps it won't be long before he heads to Hueco Mundo, takes Hueco Mundo over as his own, launches an attack on Soul Society, and also targets the Soul King Palace.

When Tokoyo Misao was giving this information, he observed Kenpachi Azashiro and noticed that Kenpachi's expression was calm, showing no surprise whatsoever.

As expected, the other party responded, "Aizen, you can't get up there."

"I admit he's very strong, but as long as he remains the Soul Reaper, he can't possibly win."

"I'm more curious about what you meant when you said earlier that the Soul King created an entity capable of killing itself."

Kenpachi Azashiro is a very meticulous person.

From the moment he began talking to Tokoyo Misao, he kept everything the other man said in mind and pondered it repeatedly.

Do you know where the Quincy's power comes from?

Tokoyo Misao smiled and held up one finger, waving it from side to side.

"What do you mean by that?" Kenpachi Azashiro's heart skipped a beat, a bad feeling creeping over him, and his expression turned grim.

Tokoyo Misao then began to explain.

"You guessed right, the King of the Quincy's power was given to him by the Soul King."

A thousand years ago, the King of the Quincy led a large number of Quincy to attack the Soul Society. Why was that?

"The Soul King granted a Quincy power to someone, and that Quincy then led a group of people to attempt to storm the Soul King Palace."

"Didn't the Soul King consider this before granting this power?"

"Therefore, I suspect that the Soul King may have long since stopped wanting to sit there."

Upon hearing these words, Kenpachi Azashiro lowered his head in thought.

Meanwhile, his Zanpakuto Urozakuro, was constantly close to his ear, muttering something unintelligible.

Tokoyo Misao turned around:

"I have no intention of becoming your ally, nor do I intend for you to join me in attacking the Soul King Palace."

"I'm just telling you these things; how you do it is your own choice."

After saying that, he waved and left Muken.

"Tokoyo Misao is right. The Soul King definitely doesn't want to sit in that place anymore. Sōya, you have to help."

"Isn't this the time to show your loyalty as Soul Reaper?"

Urozakuro kept trying to persuade her, but she also knew in her heart what kind of personality the other person really had.

Sure enough, not long after, Sōya Azashiro returned to the darkness, found his original spot, sat cross-legged, and slowly closed his eyes.

Urozakuro sighed softly.

However, she did not give up and ran over again to continue persuading him to leave Muken and participate in the attack on the Soul King Palace.

"That old monk is definitely suspicious. He's the one controlling the Soul King, issuing random orders, and taking control of Soul Society!"

Another hour or so passed, but Urozakuro had no intention of giving up and continued to talk incessantly.

"Focus on monitoring Aizen and Tokoyo Misao."

"Good!"

Chapter 121 Gathering at the Tokoyo Mansion

The basement of the Tsunayashiro Clan.

Kaname Tōsen, the blind man, was now facing the rows of Reishi display devices in front of him, his expression very serious.

With a whoosh, the door opened.

Sōsuke Aizen stepped in, stood in the center of the room, and scanned the room.

On the left are jars of petri dishes, each taller than a person.

It contains Hollows that have become Soul Reaper, as well as Hollowfication Soul Reaper tissue cells, which are being cultivated.

The center is a full-wall surveillance camera, while the right side is empty.

There was only a huge black box standing there, containing half of the Hōgyoku that Aizen had made himself.

Of course, the term "Hōgyoku" also comes from the World of the Living.

When Aizen first created it, he felt it was a defective product, so he didn't even bother to name it.

However, after learning that Kisuke Urahara had also created the other half and named it the Hōgyoku, he also began to call it the Hōgyoku.

"Lord Aizen." Kaname Tōsen stood up and bowed slightly respectfully.

He immediately relayed the news that Toki Tokoyo Misao had taken Kenpachi Zaraki to the Muken.

"Just recently, Unohana carried the severely injured Kenpachi Zaraki out of the Muken and back to the Fourth Division."

"That beast has become even stronger."

At this point, Kaname Tōsen involuntarily clenched his right fist.

In his view of justice, beasts like Kenpachi Zaraki are destabilizing factors.

For him, killing and fighting without justice is blasphemy.

But now they can only watch helplessly as their opponent grows stronger and stronger.

"Members of the Visored frequently appear at the shop owned by Tokoyo Misao."

According to the information sent back by Gin Ichimaru, their Visored Powers seem to have reached a balance, making them extremely powerful.

When he shared this news, he also had a little ulterior motive.

Kenpachi Zaraki is very strong; I am definitely no match for him in my current state.

But if one could acquire the Visored's abilities, the outcome might be different.

During this time Tokoyo Misao various tasks, including strengthening the Visoreds in the World of the Living and helping Kenpachi Zaraki improve his strength.

He always felt that these people would become a major threat in the future, and at the same time, he became increasingly anxious about his own lack of power.

Aizen smiled and said, "No need to rush, you must."

"The Soul Society is currently in a dangerous balance, and this is precisely the time for us to accelerate our research."

"Call Gin Ichimaru back; we're going to Hueco Mundo."

"Are we finally going?" Kaname Tōsen excitedly looked up.

From the very beginning, Aizen had said that the power of the Soul Reaper alone was absolutely insufficient to deal with the Soul Society, so they had long been planning to rule Hueco Mundo.

I remember Gin Ichimaru asking in a mocking tone, "What do you mean using Hollow powers isn't justice?"

However, according to Kaname Tōsen, the void is a product of the soul's depravity, and its actions are almost entirely driven by instinct, with no distinction between good and evil.

They can be viewed as real-world wild animals.

Even among humans in the World of the Living, who would say that wolves, bears, or tigers are evil?

In comparison, Soul Society is the real den of iniquity.

Moreover, Lord Aizen said that he wanted to stand above the heavens.

This sky is not only the sky of Soul Society, but also the sky of Hueco Mundo and the World of the Living.

Aizen's gaze fell on one side of the surveillance wall.

The person being monitored in the video is Masaki Kurosaki, and some data is also displayed.

These are the power of Soul Reaper, the power of the void, and the power of chaos.

"That's where she left it at, but it did give me another perspective."
