"Gin, what do you want to say?"
Aizen turned his head and glanced at Gin, somewhat curious.
"Doesn't Captain Aizen feel that this place is too quiet?" Even after defecting to Hueco Mundo, Gin's address to Aizen had not changed, and he still calls him captain.
To some extent, this actually showed that Gin was a person who never forgets his past.
Aizen had long been used to Gin's address, and he doesn't care about it, but Gin's words made him a little stunned, and then he carefully perceived his surroundings, "It's really quiet."
The whole street seemed to have been cleaned up in advance.
Moreover, he felt a familiar aura on this street, which made him look thoughtful.
Just when Aizen was engrossed in thoughts.
"Gotei 13 took a lot of trouble to transfer the whole Karakura Town from the world of living to Soul Society, so there may be some ambushes set-up by them."
As Gin spoke, he drew his Zanpakuto and looked-like he was on guard.
Aizen didn't take Gin's words or actions to heart. After merging with Hōgyoku, whether it was the current Gotei 13 or the arrancars of Hueco Mundo, he had never taken it to heart.
There were only a few opponents worthy of his attention alongside the mysterious and unpredictable Zero Division.
For Zero Division, after he created Ōken, he was destined to have a face-off with them. Aizen was also looking forward to it. Hikifune Kirio was from Twelfth Division and was the first shinigami he had ever seen to be promoted to the Zero Division.
There was no doubt that Kirio was powerful, and besides her, there were other members of the Zero Division.
Apart from Zero Division, there were other opponents that Aizen cared about.
As long as he could successfully replace the Soul King and become the new owner of the Throne of Heaven, those opponents would no longer be in his eyes.
That's right, Aizen was referring to Yhwach.
The ancestor of the quincies that built an empire in the shadow of Seireitei and hid in it for thousands of years. After Aizen learned of his existence, he designated him as an enemy.
But in Aizen's view, no matter how strong Yhwach was, he was at most at the level of Yamamoto. As long as he had enough information and understands his weaknesses, it was not difficult to deal with him.
Just like Yamamoto, for him who possessed the strongest Zanpakuto Ryūjin Jakka, he only needed to restrain Ryūjin Jakka. Wasn't he defeated in this decisive battle just like that?
Of course, because Yhwach was hidden too deeply, little was known about him, and it was not so easy to find his weaknesses.
So Aizen decided to choose another path.
That's a one-shot.
As long as one becomes a Soul King, under the absolute power, Yhwach and his like were no more worth than that.
Just as Aizen was imagining the scene after he creates the Ōken, suddenly, a sharp pain hit him.
It was Gin.
Aizen lowered his head first, glanced at the blade piercing his heart, then turned his head to look at Gin who was still squinting his eyes, looking very surprised.
"Is Captain Aizen surprised that I betrayed you?"
Gin spoke out Aizen's thoughts softly.
Aizen was stunned for a moment, and then returned back to his calmness. Even though Gin's sword pierced his chest, he was still very calm and composed, "I am really curious."
As far as he was concerned, the few people who followed him, each had their own thoughts, and he had already known about it, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.
In his opinion, the more ambitious the people around him, the better. In that case, one day they might be able to surprise him and he would not be so bored.
Compared with Gin, Aizen cared more about Mazuru.
Over the years, he had actually noticed some of Mazuru's small movements, but he didn't care.
Compared with these details, the only thing he cared about is Mazuru's real strength. If Mazuru showed his real strength, could he make him happy?
It's a pity that he hadn't had the chance to fight Mazuru so far.
There was no chance before, and there would be no need in the future.
After all, after he creates the Ōken, he would go on and become the Soul King, and he no longer would need an opponent like Mazuru to please him.
After a flash of thought, Aizen said again, "But now there is no need to ponder why you betrayed me."
It was really unnecessary.
He had already delayed a lot of time for this decisive battle. Right now, he just wanted to create the Ōken using the lives of the humans in Karakura Town.
Aizen immediately drew his sword and was about to liberate Kyōka Suigetsu.
Gin's strength was not weak, and there was nothing more convenient than using Kyōka Suigetsu to eliminate him directly.
However, the moment he drew his sword.
The Zanpakuto that Gin had pierced into his body suddenly withdrew, and at the same time Gin's figure flashed, his palm stuck out, holding the sword in Aizen's hand in a panic.
Aizen couldn't help but get startled.
This time, he was really surprised.
From outside perspective, it appeared that Gin was merely holding Kyōka Suigetsu's blade, but Aizen, as Kyōka Suigetsu's wielder, does know exactly what this action represented.
"How do you know?" Aizen asked Gin.
Gin said softly, "Is Captain Aizen asking me how I know to crack Kyōka Suigetsu's hypnosis?"
Aizen nodded slightly.
While he was talking with Gin, the wound on his body that was stabbed by Gin had been healed quickly under the ability of High-Speed Regeneration.
"Of course someone told me."
The corners of Gin's lips were slightly raised.
"So it's him."
Although Gin didn't say who it was, Aizen guessed it.
Of course, the bottom of his heart was still very curious.
He didn't tell anyone about Kyōka Suigetsu's cracking method, but Mazuru knew it.
'What an interesting discovery.'
Aizen was about to tell Gin that even without Kyōka Suigetsu's Perfect Hypnosis, his strength was not what he could handle.
But suddenly, a sharp pain hit, and Aizen's complexion couldn't help but change drastically.
"What did you do to me?"
"In Captain Aizen's opinion, what is my Zanpakuto's ability?" Gin asked Aizen.
Without waiting for Aizen to respond, he said again, "You think that its instant extension and contraction? Its ultimate's piercing speed? It's the length of extension boosted by its speed?"
"Actually, it's neither of these things..."
With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he raised the sword in his hand. A very small piece of the sword in his hand was missing at some point.
"My Zanpakuto's true ability, as well as its deadliest aspect, is not based on its length or speed, but rather its ability to turn into dust for just a second when it expands and contracts. There is a deadly poison inside the blade that dissolves and breaks down cells, which causes the target to completely break down and dissolve at the cellular level from the inside out."
"This is the real... Kamishini no Yari."
