Chapter 249 248: Aizen's Pride
In Soul Society, a conspiracy against Shizuya Arima is rapidly taking shape.
And on the other side.
The person involved felt absolutely nothing and was sitting in a remote corner.
here……
Very empty.
There is no so-called human habitation, and there is not even a little bit of vitality.
There is no sun.
The crescent moon hanging high in the sky is a constant theme.
Looking around, I could only see the endless desert and the dark sky.
Absolutely monotonous.
Only black, white, and gray are left in the whole world, three intertwined and colliding colors.
Just looking at such a scene can make people feel an emotion called coldness emerge from the bottom of their hearts.
Arima Shizuya lowered his head slightly, opened his mouth, and exhaled softly.
Watching the gray clouds drifting away in front of him, Arima Shizuya was thinking about something when a familiar voice came from behind.
“So, the first thing you do when you wake up is look at the scenery?”
A faint smile appeared on his face, and Shizuo Arima turned his head half-way.
"After all, I'm different from you. I'm officially coming to this place... I'm afraid this is my first time."
Ichimaru Gin.
The other party has already shed his traditional Death uniform.
Instead, he put on the very classic Hueco Mundo outfit - white clothes and white pants, and a long shirt imitating the captain Haori's coat.
After hearing Arima Shizuya's complaints, Ichimaru Gin tilted his head and pondered for a moment.
"That's true..."
Aizen had already started laying out Hueco Mundo many years ago.
This process took decades.
During this period, Arima Shizu also wanted to spread his mark all over the Seireitei so that the ability of 'Gandharva' could be fully displayed.
Therefore, he did not go with Aizen and others.
In other words, when the prison master and the two of them were pushing Hueco Mundo and establishing their own 'kingdom', Shizuka Arima was still busy with his own affairs in the Seireitei.
Seeing that the other party was speechless, Arima Shizuya smiled calmly.
"Speaking of which, I didn't expect you to have even completed the palace."
Xuye Palace.
As a stronghold in a barren land, its special nature fully highlights its purpose of 'service'.
"It's just requisitioning other people's things, well... I think it's pretty good."
After all, Hueco Mundo is too desolate.
"At least there are artificial blue skies and white clouds over there, which can remind people of some of the past views."
At this moment, Ichimaru Gin looked at each other and pondered for a moment.
"So, unknowingly... things have developed to this point..."
Arima Shizuya pursed his lips and smiled.
"Yeah, so what are your plans. Silver?"
"No, I don't have any plans now."
Before that, he was still planning to rebel and tried every means to overthrow the prison master. But at this moment, Ichimaru Gin seemed to have given up struggling.
What's more, it's better to say the other way around.
"Even if I have some ideas, you probably won't agree with them."
Since speaking out will only make you unhappy, it would be better to just shut up from the beginning.
Shizuya Arima smiled and patted the back of his head.
"It feels like my image in your mind...isn't very good?"
"You just realized it now?"
The atmosphere of joy filled the air, but after only a moment, Ichimaru Gin stopped smiling.
"Next time...if something dangerous like that happens again, at least tell me."
"I know that my strength cannot reach your level."
"But just watching you work hard alone and I can't help you with anything... This feeling is very bad."
Arima Shizuya blinked and said with a smile.
"Okay, definitely next time."
"Believe it or not, there is a ghost..."
After sorting out his thoughts for a while, Ichimaru Gin took a deep breath, and his expression became more than three points more serious.
"I know you've woken up, and Aizen has something to do with you..."
Coming.
Ever since he left Seireitei and came to Hueco Mundo.
Arima Shizu was unconscious for a while.
As the price for forcibly using spiritual power beyond the limit, it is like overdrawing the soul.
Fortunately, there were no serious consequences this time, and Arima Shizu was able to restore himself to his original state just by taking a simple rest.
"Are you going to take me to meet other companions?"
Already mentally prepared for this.
Even conversely... Arima Shizuya is the one who is looking forward to it the most.
After all, he fully knew the purpose of the prison master calling him over - Bengyu had already taken shape, and after being pieced together into a complete combination.
Aizen was also able to perfect his plan and create an 'Arrancar' in Hueco Mundo.
When Shizuya Arima was reading the story, he really liked everyone in the Hueco Mundo camp.
Different from the order and rules of Soul Society, the instinct and wildness highlighted by Hueco Mundo are essentially an alternative manifestation of personality.
certainly.
Appreciation is one thing.
Whether you really like it or not is another matter.
Arima Shizuya just stood up, and Ichimaru Gin mumbled and repeated Arima Shizuya's words.
Then he whispered back.
"Partner...I don't think so."
Rather than calling them like-minded partners, Ichimaru Gin prefers to call these guys...
beast.
Out of instinct or worry, Ichimaru Gin originally seemed to want to say something more.
After looking at Arima Shizuya, he hesitated for a moment and then chuckled.
What are you thinking about?
Worried that Arima Shizuya will also be affected by those unknown things?
Ha... How is it possible.
...
Kyakuya Palace.
Under the guidance of Ichimaru Gin, Arima Shizuya drove straight in and finally came to the familiar hall.
Just like the appearance of the Hueco Mundo, the width of the hall is also exaggerated to the point of making people feel empty and uneasy.
And in the middle.
A long table that can accommodate dozens of people is placed in it.
At this moment, many figures have taken their seats.
Someone turned around to look at the sound, and Arima Shizuya also saw the faces of everyone present.
——They are all familiar guys.
"Shizuya-kun, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
The footsteps that stopped because of observation attracted someone's urging.
Turning his head, the man who no longer wears glasses and has removed his false mask reveals a proud and confident outline.
Aizen Sosuke.
Sitting on the main seat, he holds his chin with his right hand, showing a lazy look, and a smile on his face.
"This way."
Just one word is better than a hundred words.
Although I don't want to attract so much attention on my first appearance.
But now, it seems that I have no choice?
Ichimaru Ginson beside him turned his head away, and he didn't mean to help at this moment.
Arima Shizuka also walked forward a little stiffly until he stood beside Aizen.
"What are you doing?"
He couldn't even turn his head.
But it can be clearly felt that the tone of the prison master has become more than three times colder at this moment.
...Huh?
Is this guy angry?
Although it was a bit puzzling, considering that he had indeed been unconscious for a while, he might have delayed the arrangements of the prison master, which made him somewhat unhappy.
Then it was normal to apologize at this time.
Arima Shizuya nodded subconsciously and half opened his mouth.
But before he could utter a word, Aizen had already turned his head and swept his cold eyes behind him.
"Shizuya-kun is already here, why don't you bring him a chair?"
"..."
Arima Shizuya turned his head halfway after realizing it, and saw several barely human-like hollows crawling towards the compartment.
Not targeting me?
"Shizuya-kun, I'm sorry."
Aizen's voice returned to normal, and at this moment he even felt full of apology.
"I clearly told you in advance, but these guys just don't remember... Really, this is the only thing that makes people miss the Soul Society unconsciously."
While sighing, several hollows pushed out a chair.
It is also from this aspect that it is not difficult to see the high prestige of the prison master.
Just a few words can give people great pressure... So what have you done in these years?
Coming to Hueco Mundo to be the King of the Great West, are you afraid of slaughtering others?
He was still muttering in his heart, but just a moment later, Aizen Sosuke's expression suddenly changed again.
The arc of his mouth slowly drooped down, and with his breathing, it gradually turned into a plain outline.
As if he saw something that was enough to make him disgusted.
Aizen's lips trembled slightly, and he whispered at this moment.
"No."
... What's wrong?
"This chair is wrong."
"I should have said it."
"Shizuya-kun is a special existence, he is completely different from everyone here."
That's why.
"I asked you to make two identical chairs."
Now, one of them is sat on by Aizen.
The other one is the one to be given to Arima Shizuya?
"I... hate people who don't understand what I say."
"After all, teaching people is a very exhausting thing."
"If it's an important matter, you should be able to understand it even if you don't need to emphasize it over and over again."
Then make such a response now.
Aizen adjusted his sitting posture.
While leaning back slightly, he put his hands together and placed them on his lower abdomen.
"Didn't you take my words seriously?"
"Ahhhhh..."
It's a mess.
The Hollows, who had already started crying, knelt on the ground and couldn't even say a word.
It seemed that provoking Aizen was a terrifying thing like the sky falling, and at this moment there was a terrifying feeling of being unable to live or die.
The gloomy atmosphere began to spread, and Tosen Kaname and Ichimaru Gin, who were next to the prison master, remained silent, as if they also agreed with this point of view.
And when Aizen made a further judgment.
On the long table, someone spoke.
"Lord Aizen..."
The voice was low, but it was a female voice.
Arima Shizuka also looked in the direction of the voice and saw a blonde woman who was slightly raising her head.
Brown skin, green eyes.
She had a bust that was not inferior to Matsumoto Rangiku, and wore a half-length white jacket that covered the lower half of her face.
Her appearance was cold and calm, which formed a strong contrast with her figure.
"Harribel, what do you want to say?"
Tia Harribel.
In the original work, she was the number 3 of the Ten Espadas, and was also the only female among the Ten Espadas at this stage.
"Those low-level Hollows do not have the ability to guess other people's intentions, and their memory capacity is also very limited, so..."
"Are you trying to say that making mistakes is excusable?"
Perhaps as a mature leader, it is also necessary to forgive others' mistakes.
but.
"I don't think so."
Aizen Sosuke's tone was calm, but there was an unquestionable sense of majesty.
"Beasts with low intelligence will also know how to please humans because of regular feeding and whipping."
"In my opinion, this theory can also be applied to the present."
"If you don't educate, you won't remember something unforgettable, right?"
Aggressive posture.
Harribel wanted to say something, but she could only remain in a state of hesitation.
It wasn't that he was speechless, but he felt the strong will emanating from Aizen.
No one can interrupt or veto what he wants to do.
This is the right of the King of Hueco Mundo.
Completely different from Aizen in Soul Society.
The prison master, who had lost his pretense and fake smile and allowed his true nature to be revealed, was originally such an aloof and contemptuous character for others.
But just when everything seemed to be settling.
Arima Shizuya spoke hesitantly and said.
"Um...Aizen-sensei?"
"What, Jingya-kun."
"I think... what Ms. Harribel said is not unreasonable. Since it is the first time you make a mistake, there is nothing wrong with being a little more tolerant."
Arima Shizuo scratched the corner of his mouth and smiled helplessly.
"And I don't feel offended, so... how about just forget it?"
Such a casual tone does not sound like advice, but more like a discussion between friends.
Who could face Aizen with such a tone?
It's simply unimaginable.
But just after Shizuya Arima said these words, Sosuke Aizen's tone also softened.
"If that's the case, then I'll do as you say."
...? ? ?
Is Aizen Sosuke so easy to talk to?
The answer must be no! But he was persuaded to come down by this man whom he met for the first time.
What did he do?
Did he give Aizen some ecstasy soup?
Such a casual tone.
And an attitude that is enough to raise eyebrows.
It made several figures who had closed their eyes to rest their minds unconsciously opened their eyes and looked over here.
——What kind of man is he?
Is it worth having Soyousuke Aizen pay so much attention to him?
In the distance, the low-level Xu who survived the disaster hurriedly rolled out another bench, and under Aizen's command, placed it near his right hand.
"Well, gentlemen, I can just explain the situation to you here."
Aizen Sosuke stood up.
He put on a white dress and a white robe, and a sexy pink belt.
The prison master stood beside Arima Shizuya, raised his right hand with a smile, and patted the other person's shoulder.
"I have to introduce this to you."
"My like-minded partner, my godson, my confidant."
"The only person I'm satisfied with and can trust 100%."
"Arima Shizuya."
As for him, Aizen Sosuke only made a simple request.
"You must respect him as you respect me."
