Aizen watched as his Teacher Hirako fought, surprised by the relaxed atmosphere in the Gotei 13.

As for the outcome of the fight between the two, of course, Hirako was pinned to the ground and flicked on the head by Yamabuki Chidori with one hand.

Extremely brutal! Extremely cruel!

"Stop fooling around, stop fooling around! Dinner's ready! You three, go wash your hands now." Kirimaru Tsukishima walked over carrying a large plate of cooked beef.

These three useless men stood in a row, obediently washing their hands and waiting for their meal.

Aizen had barely taken a bite of the meat when he realized something was amiss. The ox and deer contained trace amounts of Reiatsu, and after he ate it, this Reiatsu merged into his body, increasing his own Reiatsu.

"You've all heard about those things, haven't you?" Shinji Hirako was already used to these dishes that could increase Reiatsu. His strength was increasing at a steady pace, and forcing it would be detrimental to him. Moreover, he wasn't the type to train diligently. Even after awakening his Zanpakuto ability, he hadn't trained seriously, which is why, even after two hundred years, he was still only a Lieutenant.

"Yeah, I heard. Zero Division will be Descent in three days." Yamabuki Chidori said nonchalantly, taking a big bite of beef.

"Zero Division?" Aizen asked curiously, "Isn't there only thirteen squads in Seireitei? Why would there be Zero Division?"

The Zero Division Zero Division Descent hundreds of years ago, so it's not a secret to veteran Captain.

"The Zero Division doesn't belong to the Gotei 13. To be precise, they are Royal Guard who report directly to the Soul King. Every time they Descent, something big happens. Either a great war involving the Three Realms will occur, or they will bring new recruits to the Zero Division." Yamabuki Chidori already had a guess in her heart. The one invited by the Zero Division this time was none other than Tenjirō Kirinji.

Chapter 8: Aizen, Teacher, let me explain the abilities of the Zero Division to you in detail.

Tenjirō Kirinji had actually qualified for promotion to the Zero Division a long time ago because he created the "Bone Hell" and the "Blood Pool Hell".

However, at that time, Tenjirō Kirinji's strength was insufficient; at most, he was only at the Lieutenant-level, so it has been delayed until now.

After hundreds of years of training, Tenjirō Kirinji's strength had long surpassed that of ordinary Captain. His "Swift Thunder" technique was so masterful that he was even called "Swift Thunder" Tenjiro. Not long ago, the Zero Division Zero Division extended an invitation to Tenjirō Kirinji Tenjirō Kirinji, and he accepted without hesitation.

"I never imagined that the Zero Division actually existed in this world. I always thought it was just a legend," Shinji Hirako murmured.

After all, the Zero Division hasn't Descent for hundreds of years, and for most rookie Shinigami, it's just a legend.

Aizen asked with a curious expression, "Is the Zero Division that strong? Can they directly command the Gotei 13?"

"They are really strong. Although the Zero Division only has two people, if they go all out, they might be stronger than the entire Gotei 13." Yamabuki Chidori said very seriously, of course, this was on the premise that she and Captain Commander Yamamoto did not take action.

Aizen Hirako were both shocked, especially Shinji Hirako: "This is too outrageous! The strength of just two people surpasses that of the entire Gotei 13?"

"It's no exaggeration at all. Five hundred years ago, when I was still very young, they invited me too, but I declined." Yamabuki Chidori recalled what happened hundreds of years ago and said leisurely, "The Zero Division only has Captain, there is no distinction between superiors and subordinates. Now there are only two people, one of whom is known as the Sword God, named Nimaiya Ōetsu. He forged all the Zanpakuto in the world. His swordsmanship is divine, and no one can match him."

"Another person is even more outrageous, Ichibē Hyōsube, whom we jokingly call 'the Zanpakuto.' He's the one who gave all the true names to Monk. His Zanpakuto Ichimonji even erase the names of other Zanpakuto, rendering Zanpakuto unable to be released and losing their abilities. His Bankai can directly change the true name of an item. For example, if he writes the word 'ant' on you, you will actually turn into an ant. At the same time, he also controls all the 'darkness' in Soul Society, and can instantly seize all the darkness in Soul Society to attack."

As Yamabuki Chidori revealed the Monk's abilities, Shinji Hirako felt a chill run down his spine. How could such an outrageous ability exist in this world?

This is simply godlike power.

Compared to Hirako's reaction, the still young Aizen was much calmer.

"Does he really have no weaknesses at all?" Aizen asked.

There should be no absolutely invincible power in this world, just as there is no swordsmanship without flaws.

"Of course there is. After Ichibē Hyōsube's sword is released, it becomes a calligraphy brush, also known as ' Name-Slaying, Flesh-Sparing.' When attacking, black ink will fly out. Only when you get touched by this ink will Ichibē Hyōsube's ability take effect," Yamabuki Chidori said calmly.

"So, as long as we're careful, we're not without a chance of winning, right?" Aizen muttered to himself. "By the way, does Teacher have a way to deal with him?"

"I've never fought one, so I don't know," Yamabuki Chidori gave a very apt answer.

Ichibē Hyōsube's abilities are not weak, but they can only be described as "not weak".

During the Thousand-Year Blood War, Yhwach, with his eyes closed, was able to gain a slight advantage. Although he used the ability to "Name-Scratching" on Yhwach, it was easily countered by Yhwach's "Self-Grant". Although he wrote Yhwach as "Black Ant", the moment Yhwach opened his eyes, he directly broke through his ability.

After holding out for three seconds, the Monk was completely crushed.

Although the Soul King's power granted him Immortal Body, Yhwach could even devour the Soul King. If he spent some time figuring out the Zero Division's immortality structure, completely wiping out the Zero Division wouldn't be difficult.

Moreover, the monk's resurrection is not unconditional. He must be resurrected by someone with the character "" in his name, such as Madarame Ikkaku and Kurosaki Ichigo. If the person with "" in his name does not go to the Spirit King Palace at all, then the monk can only float in his own palace as a "spirit body".

If I were to fight with Monk right now...

Can he hold out for three seconds?

Even Yamabuki Chidori wasn't confident she could kill him within three seconds. After all, her Space-Time Control was on par with Yhwach's All-Knowing All-Powerful and omnipotence, so she could probably only last three seconds!

Yhwach's power a thousand years later is indeed much greater than it was a thousand years ago, but I haven't been idle for the past few centuries either.

His Reiatsu has been increasing constantly, without stopping for the past five hundred years.

Aizen memorized Ichibē Hyōsube's abilities, even though they weren't very useful now. But what if the two sides were ever on opposing sides in the future?

"Teacher, could you take me to see the Zero Division on the day Descent? I'm really curious," Aizen asked.

"Of course you can go if you want. But don't cause me any trouble," Yamabuki Chidori said with a smile. Actually, he really wanted to see who was stronger, Aizen or the Monk, both at their peak. In the past, there were conflicting opinions on online forums, with everyone thinking their point of view was more reasonable.

However, both sides eventually reached a consensus: these two were both better than Captain Commander Yamamoto.

Unfortunately, the two sides did not have a chance to fight in the original story.

"Teacher, you just said that the Zero Division are Royal Guard, and that the Zero Division invited you, so you've met the Soul King before? What does the Soul King look like?" Aizen asked curiously.

Shinji Hirako was also very curious about this question.

Yamabuki Chidori reached out and flicked Aizen's forehead hard. "You're young, but your curiosity is boundless. Don't you know curiosity killed the cat? This is Soul Society's top secret. Outsiders are not allowed to know."

Aizen was somewhat surprised. Why couldn't the Soul King's condition be known to outsiders? In a normal country, wouldn't the king frequently proclaim himself to the people? Why was the Soul King's "condition" considered a top secret of Soul Society? Was there some hidden reason behind it?

Aizen's curiosity was successfully piqued.

That's just human curiosity.

For example: You must never go to the basement, or something terrible will happen.

That's it, there will definitely be groups of people going to the basement for a "tour" that night.

Therefore, when Aizen learned that this matter was "classified," he not only did not give up the idea of exploring the truth, but became more and more curious.

However, since it's been declared a secret, information about the "Soul King" certainly won't be available in ordinary places. Where should I go to investigate this matter?

Chapter Nine: Two lawless people get together

The next day.

Aizen got up early to prepare for today's lessons.

"Teacher, what are we practicing today?" Aizen asked. After these few days of learning, Aizen could clearly feel that his strength had improved by leaps and bounds.

Yamabuki Chidori has reached the pinnacle of understanding of the various abilities of the Shinigami, and she happens to have met an exceptional genius. Both of them have found the right person.

"What's there to train for? Don't you understand the importance of balancing work and rest? I'm giving you a day off today, go have some fun!" Yamabuki Chidori said leisurely.

"I think you're just trying to slack off," Aizen thought to himself, but it's nice to be able to relax a little.

"Well... Teacher, see you tomorrow!" After bidding farewell to Yamabuki Chidori, Aizen pondered where he should spend this leisurely day.

In the end, he chose the Seireitei Library. Originally, Great Noble had its own library, but after one reform after another, Yamabuki Chidori gathered these books together and established a library, which was open to everyone, giving many Shinigami of commoner origins the opportunity to read.

In this era, books are extremely precious, serving as the sole vehicle for knowledge.

Aizen was born in Rukongai and never had the opportunity to study before. The growth of a wise man is absolutely inseparable from the nourishment of knowledge.

When Aizen arrived at the library, there were hardly any people there, probably because it was so early. Only the older sister in charge of managing the books was smiling at him.

"Hello, could you tell me where I can find books about the history of Soul Society?" Aizen asked very politely.

"Just keep walking in and you'll see it. By the way, you Chief Strategist the new apprentice of the Chief of Staff, right? I didn't expect you to be such a cute kid!" The librarian sister smiled and reached out to pinch Aizen's cheek.

Aizen could only laugh awkwardly. He really hated these women who had no sense of boundaries. Why did they all like to touch him so much?

However, on the other hand, these people genuinely love children.

Aizen finally escaped the librarian's clutches and arrived at the place where the history of Soul Society was recorded. Soul Society has a history of millions of years, and Aizen originally thought there would be many records, but unexpectedly there were less than five books.

In the history section, besides Aizen, there is only one other reader, a young girl who appears to be two or three years older than Aizen.

She was about thirteen or fourteen years old. At this moment, the girl was holding a book in her hand, sitting on the steps, reading with great interest.

Aizen also found a place to sit down, hoping to find records about the Soul King in these books.

As a result, the first chapter of Soul Society's history is about the Soul King creating the world and dividing it into Three Realms.

The gist of it is that the Soul King was once a genius, invincible. In the Chaos era, the Hollows freely devoured souls. The Soul King realized that if this continued, the world would surely collapse, so he divided the world into Three Realms, creating the Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, and the Human World.

He also had five servants by his side, who were the ancestors of the Five Noble Clans.

After dividing the Three Realms, the Soul King resided in the Soul King Palace, entrusting the Soul Society to the management of the Five Noble Clans.

"That's it? That's all?" Aizen frowned slightly. This amount of information was far too little. Moreover, the Gotei 13 are now in charge of Soul Society, not the Five Noble Clans. The era of the nobles' monopoly ended hundreds of years ago because of that man's appearance.

"You like history too?" A pleasant voice came from behind. Aizen looked up and saw that the person speaking to him was the girl he had seen earlier.

Aizen smiled gently, "Just browsing, but the records in the book are a bit too rudimentary!"

The girl sat down next to Aizen with obvious familiarity. "Of course. How could a mere five books possibly record a million years of history? What you see is only the bright and glamorous side; there are many darker aspects that we cannot see."

A flash of white light appeared on Aizen's glasses. "The dark side? History has a dark side too?"

"Of course. You don't think the Five Noble Clans are any good people, do you? You don't think those nobles are any good people, do you? They've done countless horrific things. If these ugly aspects were recorded, there might be many rebellions of the Grim Reapers from the bottom up." The girl had a strange smile on her face, "By the way, you're Yamabuki Chidori's new disciple? I've been very busy lately, so I haven't been able to visit you."

Aizen was slightly startled. The librarian had previously referred to his Teacher as "Chief Strategist," and most Shinigami called their Teacher that. Only those who were very close to their Teacher would call them by their names directly.

"You are...?" Aizen asked with a questioning tone.

"My name is Hane Hane Chiyo, a very ordinary Shinigami," Hane Hane Chiyo said with a smile.

Aizen was secretly alarmed. If Hane Hane Chiyo, the Captain of the Kidō Corps, was considered an ordinary Shinigami, then the Gotei 13 had no strong shinobi.

The Kidō Corps is considered an external member of the Gotei 13. All members are Kidō masters, and the girl in front of him, who looks to be about the same age as him, is the Captain of the Kidō Corps. She is a figure who stands above all Kidō masters, and her status in the Gotei 13 is comparable to that of the Captain.

Take a closer look at the girl's attire; she is wearing an elaborate yet heavy twelve-layered Kimono, which exudes luxury.

Wait a minute, if it's a Grim Reaper of that caliber, wouldn't they know some of the truth?

"You just said that this is all history that has been edited out. So where can we see the real history?" Aizen asked.

"So curious? Curiosity can be deadly. I remember a few hundred years ago, a Lieutenant accidentally saw a part of the truth of history, and he was directly wiped out." Hane Hane Chiyo's face had a mysterious expression, which only made Aizen more curious. What exactly did that Lieutenant see that led to his immediate annihilation?

"I have some inside information, do you want to hear it?" Hane Hane Chiyo chuckled, then leaned close to Aizen's ear and whispered, "I heard that the Lieutenant saw the truth behind the destruction of the Tsunayashiro Clan. The Tsunayashiro family's real crime was actually trying to replace the Soul King."

Aizen shuddered. Replace the Soul King? How could he? According to previous accounts in the book, the Soul King was a creator of the world; to ordinary Shinigami, that was already at the level of a "god." How could he possibly be replaced? How could a mortal possess such an ability?

Wait, the Tsunayashiro Clan? Five Noble Clans?

The ancestors of the Tsunayashiro Clan were servants of Soul King. Did they know some unknown secrets, such as Soul King's weaknesses?

As the Teacher mentioned before, the Soul King's state is "top secret" and must not be known to outsiders under any circumstances.

Why exactly is it "top secret"?

Chapter Ten: The Young Man Was Deeply Shocked

Could it be that the Soul King is currently in a state that cannot be known to outsiders?

Why is that? Why can't the Soul King, who possesses invincible power, be known to outsiders?

Aizen couldn't understand this at all, and in the end, he could only turn his gaze to Hane Hane Chiyo.

"Senior, do you... know the truth about this matter?" Aizen asked cautiously.

"Nonsense, how could I possibly know? If I did, would I be standing here talking to you?" Hane Hane Chiyo curled her lip. "But I know of a place that records the entire history of Soul Society since its inception, and in great detail. Do you want to know?"

"This..." Aizen somewhat wary. Why would this woman help him? Was it simply because he was Yamabuki Chidori's disciple?

"Actually, it's not a secret. Any Shinigami with a little status knows that this place is the Great Spirit Library Corridor. It records everything that has happened in the Soul Society throughout history, and it's all absolutely true. The unfortunate Lieutenant I mentioned earlier also discovered the truth about the destruction of the Tsunayashiro Clan in the Great Spirit Library Corridor," said Hane Hane Chiyo.

"The Great Spirit Library Corridor?"

"It used to be controlled by the Tsunayashiro Clan, one of the Five Noble Clans. Later, the Tsunayashiro Clan was completely wiped out, and control fell into the hands of the Gotei 13. However, because the true history recorded there is too shocking, and it contains many forbidden books, only two people can freely read the books inside: the Captain Commander and your Teacher, Yamabuki Chidori." Hane Hane Chiyo said with a smile, "If you ask your Teacher for help, maybe he will take you in."

Aizen's mind immediately started racing, but he quickly dismissed the idea. It was already said to be a forbidden book; his Teacher couldn't possibly take him to see such vague and unrealistic things.

"It's almost time, I have to go. This book is a gift for you. It records some things about your Teacher when he was young. I compiled it into a biography, but it hasn't been published yet. You are the first reader." Hane Hane Chiyo handed over a book, the cover of which revealed that she was her Teacher, Yamabuki Chidori.

Aizen was filled with curiosity: what had his Teacher experienced in his youth?

When he looked up again, Hane Hane Chiyo had already disappeared into the library, as if she had never been there at all.

"What a mysterious woman," Aizen murmured to himself, but still turned to the first page of the biography and began to read it seriously.

On a dark and windy night, the young Yamabuki Chidori shivered in a cave because of her emptiness, loneliness and cold. At this moment, a man as bright as the sun Descent, who was the Captain Commander.

The Captain Commander filled the void of loneliness and desolation in Yamabuki Chidori. From then on, the two became inseparable, sharing everything and nothing.
