"Then now...it's time to talk about the second thing."
After sending away those who needed attention, Aizen retracted the smile on his face and looked lightly at the only outsider present, Rukia Kuchiki.
"You ask...how can I see him? In fact, the answer is very simple. Now you have a total of two choices."
"Which two?"
Kuchiki Rukia asked with a slight frown.
"One, becomes 'us."
Aizen calmly raised his hand to signal, without any wavering in his tone.
"As long as you become one of us, you may be qualified to see our king."
"possible?"
"That's because I can't guarantee you that you will have such qualifications after you become one of us." Aizen replied calmly, "After all, even for me, it is not easy to see him. But... your relationship with Miss Orihime Isn’t it great? I think the problem is not that big.”
"That is to say...even if I accept your request, you can't guarantee anything?" Rukia Kuchiki frowned deeper.
Only a fool would agree to such a request?
"If you are not satisfied with this choice, there is another one." Aizen continued calmly.
"What?"
"Join them in this 'trial.'"
Aizen looked at Rukia Kuchiki in front of him with interest, "The rules are actually very simple. As long as you defeat everyone in the way, you can see him."
"Trial? Is this what that man meant?"
Rukia Kuchiki seemed to grasp the key point of the question and asked, "What is the purpose of doing this? To make us stronger?"
She still didn't understand what the man's purpose was.
"Becoming stronger? Is that part of it?"
Aizen nodded slightly and thought before replying, "But that's not all. That man's purpose is not that simple. Okay, that's all I can say. Then... your problem has been discussed."
"wait……"
Rukia wanted to say something else, but found herself suddenly speechless.
A terrifying spiritual pressure locked onto her almost instantly, and the terrifying aura almost crushed her.
At this moment, she understood. It was a discussion, but the initiative was only with Aizen from the beginning. No... it should be said that everything was arranged by that man from the beginning.
Aizen was only responsible for relaying two choices to her, and all she could give were answers, not questions.
"Can you be quiet for a moment and think carefully? There's no need to rush to give an answer before the cup of tea gets cold."
Aizen chuckled and picked up the tea cup in front of him again, then no longer looked at Rukia but looked at the waiting Arrancars.
"Okay, so now let's discuss how to have some fun with these little guys, shall we?"
With that said, Aizen gestured to Tosen on the side.
"clear."
Dong Xian wanted to take a few steps back calmly, went to the pillar nearby and flipped a switch somewhere.
As the mechanism was turned on, a hole appeared in the center of the round table. The picture projected in the hole showed three tiny figures running in the desolate white desert.
"Uryū Ishida, Taitora Sadatori and...Ichigo Kurosaki. This is the target you are going to deal with this time. This is..."...
"!!"
After hearing Kurosaki Ichigo's name, the expression on Grimmjow's face became extremely ugly, "Wait! Aizen...sir! You just promised that woman...Miss Orihime that you would not hurt them." What do you mean!? And you said this is the will of the King!?"
The anger in his heart was beyond words at the moment, not only him, but the other Arrancars, including Yami who had had a hand with Kurosaki Ichigo, also frowned slightly.
Master Aizen had never explained to them before that this boy could not be killed.
"Wait, did you hear that correctly?"
A smile appeared on Aizen's face and he replied, "What am I?
Did you say you wouldn't hurt them? "
"Isn't that what you said... Guarantee that they will still be intact when Miss Orihime sees them next time?" Looking at the expression on Aizen's face, Yami asked cautiously.
"Haha, yes, I did say that..."
Aizen couldn't help laughing, "But that doesn't mean you can't kill him, right?"
"You mean, this is only guaranteed by you?"
The expression on Grimmjow's face was a bit disdainful, "But even so, we can't kill them, right? After all, you also said that this is the will of the king."
"No... you misunderstood, Grimmjow." Aizen looked at Grimmjow with a dangerous look, "I don't have time to play boring subject games with you, what I mean is...' The king did not ask us not to kill them."
"What do you mean?" Grimmjow was still a little confused. "How can we let them stand in front of Miss Orihime intact and kill them at the same time? Keep their whole bodies?"
"hehe."
Aizen smiled, "I understand your worries, but I haven't finished my words yet. Grimmjow Jakarjak."
As he spoke, a terrifying spiritual pressure instantly enveloped Grimmjow, leaving him as speechless as the silent Rukia Kuchiki beside him.
"This is 'King's test for them."
After Grimmjow was quiet, Aizen began to explain again, "'Since it is a trial, it will not be effective if the water is released, so you don't have to worry, just go all out, even if you kill them, it doesn't matter. , these are the original words of 'Wang, do you need me to repeat them again?"
"!!"
Kuchiki Rukia, who was speechless on the side, heard the words and her pupils shrank sharply.
She thought she heard wrongly.
She was just thinking about whether to join this trial.
That man...really planned to kill them?
But... why? How could Aizen be so confident as to promise Orihime that they would be fine when she saw them again?
"Then...Aizen-sama, why did you make such a promise to Ms. Orihime?"
Ulquiorra was a little confused and asked Lucia the question she was most concerned about now, "It doesn't matter if you kill them. This is the will of the King. You don't have to consider her mood to say such a thing. Come comfort her."
"Comfort? Haha..." Aizen replied with a smile, "You are also wrong, Ulquiorra. I am not comforting her, but it is the fact. I think you have also seen Miss Orihime just now. With strength, she can bring back Grimmjow’s lost arm.”….
"Then...she can't resurrect the dead...can she?"
Yami asked cautiously.
"It's true that she can't, but 'King, she can."
The natural answer came out of Aizen's mouth, and it was as if it was logical and logical, and it was completely impossible to refute.
The people at the round table instantly became quiet.
At this moment, they seemed to have truly understood the existence of the king they were afraid of, who had never even seen his face. If their fear before was only due to the fact that Lord Aizen was so strong that he could only bow his head and surrender. , such a reason, then now it is fear from the heart.
Only the strong can dominate the lives of others. This is a truth engraved deep in almost every virtual soul.
But in fact, even if they are strong, the so-called control over other people's lives is limited to whether to kill the other person.
And this king...is the true master of life!
"Do you understand now? Your worries are completely unnecessary."
Aizen stated the facts calmly.
"That way I'll feel relieved."
Yami chuckled, "A guy like this can be killed if you don't pay attention. If you really can't kill him, how boring is it to be cautious?"
"Yes, if we really have to deal with a brat like this, our hands are tied.
There is no desire at all. "NO.8 Sal Apollo Granz agreed with a playful smile on his face.
Although the other Arrancars did not speak, they generally agreed.
"No, I think I need to remind you not to underestimate them."
Aizen reminded with a smile, "Since these people are chosen by the King, they will naturally not be as unbearable as you imagine. Or...are you questioning the King's judgment?"
"this……"
Everyone was speechless and could only remain silent.
"Very good. Now, this matter has been explained."
Seeing that no one had any objections, Aizen laughed and announced the dissolution of the meeting.
Under the leadership of Ichimaru Gin and Tosen Kaname, the Arrancars left the hall one after another, and these two would explain the next matter.
Soon, only Aizen and the silent Rukia Kuchiki were left in the room.
Aizen turned around and smiled at Rukia Kuchiki, who was stunned by their conversation just now.
This expression is normal. After all, before he experienced it personally, he never believed that someone could truly control other people's lives. He was once considered a "god of death", but compared to that man, he was a complete joke.
"Miss Rukia, don't make a hasty decision to join this trial thinking that you can be resurrected even if you die. Oh, if you die, it will be considered a failure. This means that you will not be qualified to see the throne. With that, Compared to this, are you more likely to join us?" Perhaps because he was worried that what happened just now would affect the girl's judgment, Aizen reminded her kindly.
"..."
Kuchiki Rukia was silent.
"Oh, I forgot you can't talk now."
As if deliberately teasing, Aizen withdrew the spiritual pressure exerted on Rukia.
"Ha ha……"….
Kuchiki Rukia finally recovered from the oppression and gasped for air.
Aizen looked at Rukia Kuchiki with a smile on his face, as if waiting for her answer: "So... the tea has gone cold. Where is your answer?"
"I……"
············
boom--
"Wow! So tired!"
After running for an unknown amount of time, Kurosaki Ichigo fell to the ground, breathing heavily and complaining.
"Damn it...how long have we been running? It doesn't feel like we are getting close at all! How far is that palace? Couldn't what we saw be a mirage?"
"No...it is indeed there...I have been there before."
Chadu Taihu also sat down to rest.
The building in the distance is indeed the Xuye Palace that he has seen. Yes, there are few buildings in Hueco Mundo. The only one that looks like a palace is Xuye Palace.
"Idiot, there's not even the sun here, how can there be a mirage!? How did an idiot like you get to the top of your grade in the exam?"
Uryū Ishida sat resting on a fallen tree trunk that was half buried by the white desert. "Do you need me to explain to you the principle of mirage formation?"
"no thanks!"
Kurosaki Ichigo curled his lips, "I'm just complaining, do you really take it seriously?"
He got up from the ground and clenched his fist which was still weak just now, but now he seemed to have recovered.
"Then again, my spiritual energy recovery speed seems to be faster than usual. Is it my imagination?..."
"This is not your illusion. This is because the concentration of spirit particles in Hueco Mundo's atmosphere is extremely high."
Uryū Ishida explained, "I have confirmed this during the battle and running just now... As long as we adapt here, our combat effectiveness should be much higher than in this world or Soul Society. Of course... this is not good news, because the same is true for the enemy, and they are more adapted to the environment here than us. So if it is not necessary, we should try to avoid being with those wandering around here before arriving at Xuye Palace
Let’s fight the virtual beasts of the world. When we are tired, we need to rest quickly to adjust our state, because we still don’t know what is waiting for us over there..."
"Speaking of which, I've always wanted to ask...is that guy really that heartless?"
After listening to Ishida Uryu's worried words, Kurosaki Ichigo frowned and asked, "Is everything I experienced in school fake? Will we...become enemies?"
"..."
Ishida Uryu remained silent and did not answer.
To be honest, he didn't have a good relationship with that man. They only got involved because of Kurosaki Ichigo.
For that man...he was more afraid.
So there is no way to answer this question.
"this……"
Chadu Taihu was also hesitant when faced with such a problem.
If he were asked to answer, he would definitely say, 'No.
After all, he was able to achieve his current strength with the help of that man.
But the development of the situation had to make him doubt the original answer in his heart.
What kind of thoughts are in the hearts of such beings, they have no idea at all. They can only know that the current actual situation shows that they are already enemies.
That man broke his promise and took Inoue away, and planned to let Aizen destroy Karakura Town and even Soul Society. Such an approach was undoubtedly unacceptable to them.
Therefore, they can only guess that maybe that man planned to dominate the entire world from the beginning. After all, this is a king, ah, the King of Hueco Mundo.
Perhaps after going to both the present world and the Soul Society, the other party found that the strength of the other two worlds was nothing more than this, so he planned to realize his long-planned ambition, right?
As for taking Inoue away, it is just taking away the king, the last mercy to this world.
