Bleach: The Captain of the Fifth Division Becomes Stronger Through Training.

Chapter 222: Mirror Flower and Water Moon

Soul Society: Chamber 46.

"Its essence is composed of forty sages and six judges gathered from all over Soul Society."

"Most of these people are nobles, and have sufficient fame and prominent family backgrounds."

"Whether from a secular perspective or a utilitarian perspective, these selected people have authority that is convincing enough."

That's why.

"These people can represent the will of Soul Society and pass various trials and decisions through consultation and voting."

"From the life and death of a common man to the fate of a Gotei official."

"It is an organizational structure that will not put any pressure on people even if they give clear instructions to remove Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni from his position on the spot."

Of course, this also requires consideration of whether the parties involved are willing to resist and so on.

Walking in the dark corridor, Arima Shizuya and others followed quietly behind Aizen Sosuke, listening to his mumbling.

"How noble, claiming to be able to dominate everything, the parliamentary system..."

"It seems that the power is divided between each other, so that the value of the discussion can be reflected..."

"Based on this premise, I think the result obtained in this way will definitely be the best answer."

but.

Aizen Sosuke could not agree with this idea.

"He is just an old man who has no regrets about his own judgment after sharing the responsibility."

"These are the deformed monsters that are formed by the mixture of desire, obsession and other emotions."

"Wouldn't that make people feel emotional, gentlemen?"

Dong Xian remained silent, but clenched his fists at both sides of his body, indicating that his emotions were not as calm as he appeared.

Gin Ichimaru shrugged noncommittally, obviously not very interested in these things.

Arima Jing also coughed twice, and at this moment he looked like he was watching his eyes and nose and his nose and heart.

——The boss has his usual chuunibyou attacks, so you have to give him some face.

In any case, emotional value must be given first.

But then again.

Through the above speech, it is not difficult to see the political views of Master Lao himself.

This guy should be a person who believes in authoritarianism... If placed in an ordinary society, this kind of ruling model would seem somewhat thin and powerless.

After all, how long is a person’s life span?

However, in just a few decades, only a few people can live a happy life, not to mention that they have to guide other compatriots to move forward...

The difficulty involved is naturally not small.

But now that the background has been changed to that of the God of Death, the content is naturally different.

'It is indeed a good idea to concentrate power in the hands of people who have a long life and broad and profound knowledge.'

just.

Originally, in Aizen's opinion, this job should be done by the Soul King.

But Lao Deng is extraordinary after all. It is very likely that the four pupils have seen through the past and the future, and have woven an ideal script through their own great power.

Therefore, if one knew the entire process, this level of rebellion... would naturally be meaningless.

It’s just that the prison master’s vision is still limited to this aspect. Once it is broadened in the future, there may be more obvious changes than in the original work.

As her thoughts wandered, Arima Jing lowered her head and slowly closed her eyes.

Now that things have come to this, let's listen to the boss's 'pre-war mobilization' first.

Arima Shizuka's thoughts were constantly wandering, on the other side.

Although no one responded, the prison warden didn't seem to care much... the person involved seemed to be in high spirits.

The group walked around the spiral sunken staircase until the light around them gradually dimmed.

Such a scene was absolutely familiar to everyone present.

After all, it is one of the procedures for becoming captain.

He came in front of everyone in Room 46 and got their permission.

Nowadays, at least everyone is familiar with it, so naturally there will be no sense of strangeness.

However, just before entering the ground floor and about to step into the main hall.

The smell of blood that hit her nose made Arima Shizuka couldn't help but sigh.

Ah...it's here so soon.

In the basement.

The spiral-shaped stepped conference hall was now dead silent.

The milky white light hung down from top to bottom, illuminating the corners and rendering the brilliance... until the extremely dazzling red was distorted into a frown-worthy scene.

dead.

All I see are dead people.

The sages who had been hiding behind their numbers and concealing their faces, lying in a large group in a mess.

Broken limbs and blood were everywhere.

Even Arima Shizuya, who was used to seeing these things, couldn't help but frown slightly.

There is no other reason.

The method is a bit too 'malicious'.

Considering that the prison warden had no special hobbies or interests in this area, he could only turn his head and stare to the side.

Dong Xian Yao spoke in a deep voice at this moment, as if he had eyes on his back.

"Yes, I did it all."

——As expected.

As mentioned before, Tosen Yao is not going to give up his ideal of revenge just because of his comfortable life.

Quite the opposite, even.

Sitting in the position of the Gotei 13, he has a deeper understanding of things like power and privilege, and shows a more ardent disgust for them.

There are no longer-term plans, nor do they consider what the consequences will be after they do these things.

It's just that there is this opportunity right now, and Aizen has also given his permission.

Tosen Yaoi could do this without mercy.

Just as Aizen commented.

This is a man whose whole body is wrapped in the flames of revenge, even if it means he burns himself and turns into ashes.

He will also commit those "inhumane" acts without hesitation.

Ichimaru Gin glanced to the side calmly. Although his movements were quite obscure, he was slightly sideways at this moment.

It was obvious that he had already adopted a defensive posture.

In contrast, Arima Shizuka, who was a good friend of theirs, couldn't help but speak.

"Dongxian..."

"There is a horse, no need to say more."

Interrupting his friend's speech, Tosen Kaname simply shook his head calmly and spoke softly.

"We have discussed similar topics before, so I understand what you mean..."

but.

"I will never let go of the hatred in my heart. This is my motivation to live and it is also the motivation that has supported me to where I am today."

“I can’t live without this spirit, it’s also what enriches me.”

"It is impossible to strip it away now."

Even from the perspective of a close friend, I can't say any words of comfort at this moment.

Arima Shizuka also pondered for a moment, and finally could only shake his head helplessly - Tosen Kaname had a very stubborn temper, and forcing him to obey would only have the opposite effect.

Now it seems that we can only hope that the other party was so obsessed with killing that he temporarily lost the ability to think rationally.

As his thoughts fluctuated, Aizen Sosuke had already calmly walked onto the platform and stood in the center of the spiral-shaped conference platform.

As the party being judged.

The light at this location is the brightest.

Because this method is needed to distinguish between "light" and "darkness".

The qualifications and past of the person being examined will be stripped away one by one and analyzed. The examiner lurks in the dark and asks explicit and sensitive questions recklessly.

It's not fair.

During the mask incident, Arima Shizuka had only been there once, so naturally she wouldn't feel unfamiliar with it.

But at this moment, standing on the stage, Aizen Sosuke slowly closed his eyes.

It was as if he was feeling something, or more like he was carefully experiencing, or even "capturing" something.

Until half a minute later.

Aizen Sosuke raised his right hand wordlessly.

He frivolously drew his Zanpakutō from his waist.

The scabbard and the iron collided, and beneath the hissing sound was Aizen's calm smile, as if everything was under his control.

Turning the blade downward, the man who attracted all attention hummed softly.

"Then, let's get started."

Let go and fall.

The Zanpakuto penetrated the air like a drop of water falling into a lake, creating ripples in the air.

The power of the mirror flowers and water moons surged and spit out, creating a bright torrent.

It was as if the water on the dome began to pour down, and a spiritual pressure that was enough to scare people away surged, fiercely washing over the entire underground space.

Because there was no perception of malicious intent, the three people present did not take any action.

After this flood...

Everything has changed too.

The scene that was like a picture scroll from hell faded away, and was replaced by a solemn scene like before.

The forty-six sages sat quietly in their seats, covered with their brows furrowed and their expressions serious...

He looked worried, as if he was really thinking about something.

“It’s done…”

Ichimaru Gin's sigh was heard beside him, and Arima Shizuya's expression couldn't help but move slightly.

Yes, it's done.

Kill all the people in the Central Forty-six Chambers, and then use the power of Mirror Flowers and Water Moons to forge a "false image" that can deceive people.

This is what Sosuke Aizen's plan is.

Although they were a little worried before actually doing it, now that they have seen it with their own eyes, no one present has anything to complain about.

Arima Shizuya even moved closer and looked at a sage numbered 'Eleven' beside him.

Unexpectedly, the other party glanced directly at him, snorted coldly and scolded him.

"Don't look at the rude people!"

"..."

Can you still speak?!
This level of completion far exceeds the previous "disguise" and "cover-up". In terms of nature, it is almost to the point of creating something out of thin air.

The prison master's ability of mirror flowers and water moons is also constantly improving.

Watching Arima Shizuka making the attempt calmly, the prison master pursed his lips slightly, his smile still calm.

“Try not to do anything unnecessary.”

"Because in order to construct the corresponding behavior, you need to expend the corresponding spiritual power."

"And before all goals are achieved, we still need to maintain the illusion of Forty-Six."

Arima Shizuka also let out a soft cry and took half a step back.

"Feel sorry……"

"It doesn't matter. Those who don't know are not guilty."

Then.

"Let's repeat our plan again, gentlemen."

Aizen Sosuke looked around and spread his hands as if everything was under control.

"Through the manipulation of the Forty-Six Chambers, the consequences of Kuchiki Rukia's violation of the regulations will be modified."

"To make the judgment that originally required discussion to reach a conclusion be imposed with the fastest, most severe, and most serious judgment..."

"death penalty."

Give the power of death to ordinary people.

From the Soul Society's perspective, this is indeed a type of thing that is expressly prohibited.

But... As we all know, the essence of Soul Society is a mixture of feudalism and human society.

Even if one has truly committed an unforgivable sin, there is still a literal "turnaround" through negotiation, mediation, and various means.

As the adopted daughter of a noble family, Rukia Kuchiki naturally enjoys privileges in this regard.

This result was obviously not accepted by Aizen Sosuke.

After reiterating the plan at this moment, Aizen looked at the three people with the smile on his face.

"So, do you have any questions about this plan?"

Of course there is.

It's just that this question doesn't need to be raised by Arima Jing.

Dongxian would be the first person to lose his patience.

"I do not understand……"

"Go ahead, I want it."

"Why should we go against a noble's adopted daughter who has ordinary abilities?"

I'm not saying this, but you have a very poisonous tongue, brother!
Although Rukia's level is already top-notch among ordinary Shinigami, she is not even a deputy captain now, so she can be looked down upon by captain-level figures...

It's also pitiful.

"You are confused but you are not ashamed to speak up. It seems that you have made some progress."

Aizen commented with a smile, and continued at this moment.

"Because I can feel that the other half of the Houyu that I have been waiting for for a long time is hidden in Rukia's body."

"……???!" X3
At this moment, even Arima Jing felt a little confused.

After all, in the original book, there is no mention of how the prison master discovered the whereabouts of Bengyu.

The current dialogue just makes up for this shortcoming.

"Urahara Kisuke possesses the other half of the Hogyoku, but he is afraid of power and has not studied it as deeply as I have."

"So, he didn't know..."

"After fully mastering half of the Broken Jade, I can use induction to find out the direction of the other half."

Aizen smiled and took out something from his arms.

The spherical object flickered with a faint light, and as always, it exuded an almost 'eerie' aura.

Half a piece of broken jade lies here.

"But that feeling suddenly began to shift some time ago."

"Although the scope is still the present world, the frequency and speed clearly indicate that Urahara Kisuke will not be acting personally."

"As for this aspect, it is enough to simply understand what has happened in the world recently."

Thanks to the ability of Mirror Flowers and Water Moons.

When it comes to intelligence gathering, prison division masters have an overwhelming advantage.

"Urahara Kisuke attempted to hide the existence of the Hogyoku by implanting a prosthetic body."

"It's a good idea, but I'm in awe of the power and I'm backing off."

"In the end, they could only achieve this kind of self-defeating result... This is the flaw of the weak, and it is also what makes people sigh and feel sad."

It turned out to be the case.

If this reason is taken into account, the various strange actions of the store manager at the beginning of the plot do have corresponding explanations.

Urahara Kisuke's rejection of the Hogyoku resulted in the two parties being on different levels.

So the store manager...

I can only shine in the next chapter.

PS: I had an IV drip today, and I should be back tomorrow... Well, I'll try to update more often, sorry.
