Chapter 75
"I have always claimed that Kyōka Suigetsu is a water-type Zanpakuto, but that's a lie. Kyōka Suigetsu is actually a genjutsu-type Zanpakuto. The water that appeared after the liberation was just an illusion projected by Kyōka Suigetsu. It constantly reminds me that I am someone who wants to use genjutsu to escape reality."
Aizen's Zanpakuto awakened so early? And it was a genjutsu-type Zanpakuto that awakened for this reason.
The two people outside the door were both surprised.
"This power is my punishment, the torment that has always existed in my heart."
"But I also relied on this power to make many attempts. The son who came to find me was the result of one of those attempts. But all the attempts failed. However, it was through these attempts that I came to know the truth about this world."
"Once the soul is gone, it cannot be brought back to life."
"This is the ironclad rule of this world."
"She is already dead, and no matter what I do, I cannot bring her back to life. There is only one way to save her, the only one I can do, and that is to go back to the past before her death and create a new possibility."
"Go back to the past?"
Momo Hinamori's eyes widened in surprise.
"How is such a thing even possible?"
"No, it's possible. Although it's very difficult, extremely difficult, it's possible."
Aizen looked up at the sky.
"In this world, there exists a god, a god who is high above and possesses the power to change everything. If I can reach that place, I can obtain the power of that god, and thus go back to the past and change everything!"
"I will create a new world in the split of time, a completely different future that will belong to her!"
"And in order to do all this, just to gain the power to get there, I have sacrificed many people. I persecute heroes, nurture evil, am full of malice, and use everyone I can. On the surface, I will act like a gentle and good person, just to achieve my personal goal."
"And now, I am preparing the next conspiracy to accomplish all of this."
"I am such an extremely selfish person."
After saying all this, Aizen wore a bleak smile.
"Hinagiku, after hearing all of this, are you still willing to believe me and follow me?"
Hinagiku didn't answer Aizen's outstretched right hand. Instead, after a brief silence, she asked a question.
"Captain Aizen, I want to know, am I someone you're using?"
"Ah, Hinagiku, you are one of the people I'm using, because I trust you and believe you can help me."
"If that's the case, I'm willing to believe Captain Aizen!"
Momo Hinamori is determined.
"If it's really as you say, Captain Aizen, and you want to revive the person in your heart, I'm willing to help you!"
"Momo!"
Tōshirō, standing outside the door, couldn't help but speak up.
You idiot, how could you possibly trust someone like that!
He led Rangiku Matsumoto into the room and stood directly in front of Momo Hinamori.
"Tōshirō!"
Momo Hinamori looked at Tōshirō in surprise as he suddenly appeared.
"Call me Captain Hitsugaya!"
After his habitual complaining, Tōshirō stared coldly at Aizen.
"I never expected to see Captain Hitsugaya here."
Aizen looked at Toshiro Hitsugaya with surprise.
"Yes, I never expected that Aizen, who was always so gentle, would actually be this kind of guy!"
To be honest, Toshiro Hitsugaya felt a bit empathy for the story Aizen had just told. He hadn't expected Aizen to have such a sad past. But no matter how sad Aizen's past was, he couldn't drag Momo Hinamori into it. He couldn't allow Momo Hinamori to be hurt!
"I'm sorry, Captain Aizen, I really didn't know that Tōshirō and the others were following me!"
Momo Hinamori was being protected, spoke up to explain, worried that Aizen might misunderstand.
"No, it's not your fault, Hinagiku. I was too relaxed after seeing Hinagiku and didn't even notice that there were two other people outside the door."
Aizen pushed up his glasses with a gloomy expression.
"Hinagiku, I'm glad you still believe in me, but now I have to leave. I can't stay here for my plans."
A Portal suddenly appeared behind Aizen, and he began to slowly retreat towards Portal.
"This is!"
Tōshirō stared in surprise at the Portal behind Aizen.
Aizen stepped back while smiling at Hinagiku.
"That's fine, Hinagiku. Please forgive me for taking advantage of you. I've already embarked on this path of no return. Now, I can only keep moving forward, I can't stop moving forward!"
"Captain Aizen!"
At Hinagiku's call, Aizen's body retreated into the Portal then disappeared.
Tōshirō looked at the ground that had returned to calm, his expression complex.
As Rangiku Matsumoto watched Aizen leave, a deep tremor stirred within her. The fact that he had embarked on a path of no return to save the woman he loved was a plot that deeply resonated with her girlish heart.
"Captain, what should we do now?"
"Tell the Captain-Commander first, this is not something I can decide."
Although he felt sympathy for Aizen deep Aizen, his duty as Bleach captain led him to tell the Captain-Commander about it.
127. Pure Love Aizen: Where's my sword?!
After Tōshirō informed the Captain-Commander that Aizen was still alive, the news that Captain Aizen had faked his death replaced the news that Aizen had been killed and topped the Seireitei trending searches.
Along with Captain Aizen faking his death trending on social media, the reason behind his Aizen death also became a hot topic.
In order to resurrect his beloved, he decides to challenge the rules of the world and attempts to obtain the power of the gods to go back to the past and create a new world in which his beloved can live!
What is a god? Ordinary Bleach might not know, but Captain level Bleach and the nobles do. There is only one god in Soul Society, and that is the Soul King! Aizen Sousuke wants to obtain the Soul King's power! He wants to use this power to go back to the past!
Is it really necessary to seek the power of the Soul King, even to fake one's death, just to revive an ordinary soul?
The male Bleach were speechless, but in the hearts of the female Bleach, Aizen's reputation rose dramatically, and Aizen instantly became the Bleach their eyes.
For a time, opinions about Aizen within the Seireitei were polarized. Some Bleach believed Aizen was a great sinner of Soul Society, surely plotting something in secret. Others, Bleach by the opinion of an unknown young Bleach, saw Aizen as a pure-love warrior. Although they didn't understand what a pure-love warrior meant, they thought that Aizen defied the rules of the world for the sake of his beloved, even secretly plotting for hundreds of years. How many people could have such dedication and perseverance!
Captain Aizen is so cool!
"That's right, Captain Aizen, you are now the most courageous man in the Seireitei in a thousand years, the dream lover of countless female Bleach! Although they think that Captain Aizen, you only have that one woman in your heart, they think that it is precisely because of this that you are even more attractive!"
"..."
Central 46, Aizen sat in the chief judge's seat, listening to Gin Ichimaru's report, and fell silent for a moment.
Gin Ichimaru looked at the silent Aizen and asked with a smile.
"I've done my research. Captain Aizen, you deliberately exposed yourself to Captain Hitsugaya so that he would reveal that you're alive, and in doing so, your true purpose."
"To be honest, I was quite shocked after learning about Captain Aizen's true purpose. Captain Aizen, your past is much more interesting than I imagined."
"..."
Aizen didn't reply, but instead rubbed his temples in exasperation.
What the hell is this? What is all this nonsense?
Aizen didn't even need to think to guess that this was the work of his beloved adopted son. First, he created a scandal for him by having an illegitimate child outside, and this time he directly turned him into a lovelorn man. What is this?
When Li Yue suddenly messaged him privately, he knew something was going to happen, but he never expected it to be like this.
But that's not the point. The point is that he actually gained a group of fans in the Seireitei because of this devoted story, which he never expected. Even though these fans knew they might be the mastermind, they still thought they were awesome. There was even Aizen fan club. Yes, in a short period of time, Captain Aizen fan club appeared in the Shinigami Women's Association. This is the confirmed information that Gin found out.
What kind of tactic is this? Aizen has lived for hundreds of years and has never seen anything like it!
Aizen once believed that the world did not need trust, a sentiment most evident in his interactions with his Espada. While most of his Espada were power-hungry, an Espada genuinely trusted him. But how did he respond to this Arrancar?
"I have never once said that I should make my subordinates believe me. I have said that they should follow me, but I have not said that they should believe me and follow me. I have said, however, that they should not trust anyone, including me."
"Sadly, there are very few strong individuals who can truly implement this concept. All living beings will believe in some existence that is superior to themselves. As a result, those who are trusted will seek out beings at a higher level in order to escape this heavy pressure, and those beings at a higher level will yearn for even more trustworthy and strong individuals."
"In this way, all kings were born, and all gods were born."
Such insightful words reveal the true nature of humanity.
Aizen, who possesses such a philosophy, undoubtedly stands at the pinnacle of humanity; he is the king of all.
However, Aizen was a figure from a bygone era, so how could he possibly understand this whitewashing tactic from so many years later!
Aizen's speechless and troubled expression amused Gin Ichimaru.
"Captain Aizen, what's wrong? Is the situation in Seireitei not going as you expected?"
"No, expected..."
Aizen's expression faltered for a moment.
"It's beyond my expectations."
Although Li Yue exposed his faked death early on, it did not affect his plan. He only exposed his faked death, not his true purpose of finding the Hōgyoku inside Rukia Kuchiki. Therefore, it would not have any special impact on his subsequent plans.
He can still do whatever he wants next.
That's right. He doesn't know what Li Yue will do next, because based on his understanding of Li Yue, there will definitely be new moves later, it can't just end like this.
"Looks like I'll have to go out earlier."
Aizen originally planned to stay in the Central 46 for a while longer, since he still needed to control the Central 46 to transmit messages to the outside world. However, now he needs to make some changes. Although Li Yue's actions did not disrupt his overall plan, he still needs to do something to deal with it.
Although the Kyōka Suigetsu is gone, Aizen can still move freely in the Seireitei.
The 26th Kyokkō, Bakudō Light, can Kyokkō to make oneself invisible. In addition to this Kido, Aizen also developed a black cloak that shields Reiatsu. By wearing the black cloak and using Kyokkō, he can completely conceal his body. This was one of the methods Aizen used to move around in the Seireitei.
Under this double concealment, Aizen left the Central 46 and headed towards the Fourth Division. He was going to retrieve his Kyōka Suigetsu and be ready to deal with the strange actions of his beloved adopted son.
However, when Aizen arrived at the Fourth Division, he discovered that the Kyōka Suigetsu he had used to disguise himself as a corpse had disappeared. Aizen immediately realized who had taken Kyōka Suigetsu and immediately opened the private chat interface of the Chat Group.
[The Hair Gel Man in the Sky: Li Yue-kun, my Kyōka Suigetsu are with you, aren't they?]
[Meme Lord: Hehe~]
128. The Invincible Tōshirō Hitsugaya
Inside the Seireitei, Li Yue, having replied to Aizen's message, focused his gaze on several Bleach not far away.
Those Bleach were walking towards them.
"Hello!"
Several Bleach saw Li Yue alone and questioned her from afar.
"Which squad are you from? What are you doing here in the middle of the night!"
"Sorry, I'm lost. I'm a new recruit in the Fifth Division."
Li Yue looked bewildered and apologized to the patrolling Bleach.
"Honestly, if you're a newcomer, don't go running around like this. Don't you know what the situation is like inside Seireitei right now?"
Upon hearing Li Yue's answer, the patrolling Bleach couldn't help but complain. Li Yue, Shinigami uniform and with his Zanpakuto at his waist, looked no different from an ordinary Bleach, so they didn't pay much attention. According to the intelligence they had, the Intruders were all human, except for one who possessed the power of Bleach. However, that guy's Zanpakuto was so large that it could cut a pig in half with one stroke, making it a super pig-slaughtering knife.
Therefore, the person in front of you is definitely not that guy, and naturally, he is not human either.
"The Fifth Division is over there. Just go straight to the end, turn left, and you'll see it. Hurry back."
After grumbling, the impatient patrolling Bleach pointed out the way to Li Yue.
"Thank you very much, seniors."
Li Yue thanked Zhan Chao and the others, nodded, and then walked in the direction they pointed.
However, just as Li Yue turned her head, she saw two people walking towards her in the distance.
"Seriously, Captain, why did you take over all the affairs of the Fifth Division? There are so many documents, I wonder how long it will take to process them."
"Matsumoto, shut up. When have you ever helped me with the team's documents? I've been handling everything by myself."
"Oh dear, there's nothing I can do about it. Captain, you know I'm not good at handling these kinds of documents."
"You're not bad at handling files, you're just too lazy to do it!"
