Chapter 69: There is no rival ahead of us
Yamamoto glanced around and before long, Kenpachi Kiyomizu, with a dull look in his eyes and an indescribable weird expression, was pushed into the conference room.

The gazes of the crowd were like needles, piercing into his skin and flesh, causing Gui Yancheng to shiver uncontrollably.

tension.

A kind of tension and trembling that came naturally from being watched by a superior had completely enveloped his heart.

If he angered Yamamoto, would he still be able to continue serving in the Gotei 13?
After all, why did I suddenly release my Zanpakutō? What on earth was I doing?
Did I really use Bankai on my own men and beat them to pieces? I felt like there was something weird going on inside and out.

But I can't find what the problem is.

"The matter of Gui Yancheng cannot be let go, and those responsible must be held accountable."

"After discussion and agreement, we now have two options."

"First, put him in jail and let him reflect on his actions for five years."

"Second, exile to Rukongai, quell rebellion and guard the city for ten years."

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni met the half-raised head of Gui Yancheng and looked at him coldly.

Even the most insignificant and worthless things have their value. The Gotei 13's style of doing things has never been bound by pattern or form.

Born out of the spiritual core of a killer organization, it has only one purpose from beginning to end - just be able to fight!
So, Yamamoto gave the choice.

"Make your choice, Gui Yancheng."

On one hand, he was sitting in jail suffering, and on the other hand, he was going out and having fun.

The answer is self-evident.

Gui Yancheng's heart was filled with excitement, and he was about to shout with ecstasy on his face.

……

"Are you awake, Shizuya-kun?"

open one's eyes.

What I saw was a familiar starry sky.

He turned his eyes and moved to the side... and saw Aizen smiling at him.

This place is still within the Soul Society, but because Arima Shizuka has never been here, she cannot tell the specific location and direction at the moment.

My body feels heavy and my mind is a little foggy.

But he had not completely lost the ability to think. He struggled to sit up, and Arima Shizuka also saw Aizen and Tosen Kaname beside him.

After pondering for a moment, Arima Jing couldn't help rubbing his eyes.

Because within the range of vision, many things have inexplicable double images...

"Don't worry, this is just a complication caused by over-exerting your spiritual energy. Once your condition improves, this situation will be alleviated."

Is that right?

Arima Shizuka also put down her hands.

Dong Xian next to him wanted to say something, but the words froze on his lips. In the end, he chose to remain silent and retreated to a distance behind him.

There was only space left for Arima Shizuya and Aizen to have a conversation.

"How do you feel? Can you stand up on your own?"

“…Yeah, no problem.”

Use your waist and legs to exert force.

Arima Shizuka also stood up and let out a long sigh of relief.

All the things that happened before came to mind, and Arima Shizuka also realized the current situation.

"So, we are now..."

"It's been three hours since the fight."

As if he fully understood the other party's confusion, Aizen calmly pushed his glasses up and spoke in an unhurried tone.

"Ki Yancheng was taken into custody by the captain of the 7th Division who arrived later. Considering the captain's strict enforcement of the rules, the trial should have ended by now."

Is it impossible to perform Bankai in Seireitei?

This matter was indeed troublesome after it was discovered, and Arima Jing also nodded slightly to show her understanding.

"Then let's skip these meaningless topics for now, Shizuya-kun..."

Aizen said with a smile.

"Have you understood the true name of your Zanpakutō?"

Arima Shizuka also nodded calmly.

"Well, its name is..."

"and many more."

Aizen interrupted the other party's description and spoke at this moment.

"This is the power that Shizuya-kun has gained through life and death, and it is also your precious treasure. Considering that I didn't do anything this time... you don't have to tell us everything."

Although they are nominally superiors and subordinates.

But as mentioned before, Aizen hopes for like-minded partners rather than law-abiding believers.

Arima Jing was silent for a moment, then chuckled.

"No, actually there is nothing that I can't say. After all, it's not a big deal."

Now that we have embarked on this road, there is no point if we don't go all the way to the end.

Since there is a relationship of trust between each other, intelligence sharing is also a necessary link.

Besides, Arima Shizuya's ability itself is not the type that is particularly difficult to understand - if others have the opportunity to observe it a few more times, they will notice it sooner or later.

"The name of the Zanpakutō is Sugara Ryu."

"The ability is also an advanced form of the bow suit."

"It can be manifested in two ways..."

"The first method is to use the information I received as reference data, and finally simulate an isolated place that can besiege the opponent."

It is taken from the power of the Sagara dragon, which means the king of the salt sea.

"This isolated place will be presented in the form of a maze. The opponent will need to endure my spiritual pressure and find the correct exit under endless harassment."

"Of course, if the gap in strength between the two sides is too great, this isolation will naturally be broken."

"Also, when I use the Sugara Dragon, I lose the concept of my vital points. Thus, my body is transformed into spiritual power..."

"Just like what I saw before, if Gui Yancheng can defeat the last two spirits in one go, I will die with him."

This ability seems to be useless. After all, it is meaningless to the strong.

So the focus is still on the second ability.

"The second ability, I prefer to call it... the ability to analyze." "I can further analyze the opponent's behavior through fighting with him, observing him, and summarizing it myself, and finally choose the most optimal action."

It was a bit abstract if only expressed in spoken language, so Arima Shizuka raised her right hand and made a gesture.

"Just like how I attacked Guiyan City."

“The first collision that seemed to be fruitless was actually a step in gathering information.”

"Just like planting a sapling, I use my own spiritual power as nutrition to water it, causing it to grow rapidly and eventually become a towering tree with luxuriant branches and leaves."

"And the veins, branches, leaves on it...will all be what I can foresee."

Yes, that's everything.

"The reason why my second attack was able to break through the defense of Guiyan Castle was because I used this ability to discover the opponent's weakness."

Aizen pursed his lips and nodded slightly at this moment.

"I see. But this is far from being Shizuya-kun's limit."

"...?"

Facing the somewhat surprised boy, Aizen said with a smile.

"Since it feeds on spiritual energy, what it will eventually grow into is probably unknown."

In other words.

"As long as there is enough spiritual energy to supplement it, Shizuya-kun might be able to hit the opponent's vital point in the second attack... and kill him with one blow?"

Literally.

One strike is a test, two strikes are a kill.

Arima Jing also touched the back of his head helplessly, and finally let out a long sigh.

"That's only a theoretical thing. At least with my current strength, it's absolutely impossible to do it."

Dong Xianyao on the side couldn't help but say.

"But it's possible, isn't it?"

Aizen said as if to join in the conversation.

"That's exactly the truth, the infinite possibilities... That's the essence of Shizuya-kun's Zanpakutō."

The first ability is not useless.

It is to lay the foundation and preparation needed for analysis.

"Being able to divide the spiritual power means that no matter how huge the gap is, Shizuya-kun can rely on the fact that there is no fatal point to make multiple contacts with the opponent."

Collect, analyze, and defeat.

Everything is done to achieve the ultimate goal.

Aizen sighed softly and said in a tone that sounded like he was expressing his feelings.

"Sure enough, my vision was not wrong."

"Shizuya-kun, you really are the image of a brave man in a narrow road."

"Not affected by status, strength, or any other external factors. You can put the other person's life on the line and force him to..."

"I'm here to make a life and death gamble with you."

It was the young man's sword that first cut through your flaws.

It was the opponent's attack that shattered the spiritual pressure first.

No matter how strong the opponent is, no matter how exaggerated the gap is.

Still able to bravely fight back on the 'single-plank bridge' and make the most irrational struggle.

Aizen looked at the boy in front of him, and his heart, which had never been disturbed, now had some ripples.

His expression rarely showed any obvious changes, and at this moment... he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth upwards.

Are you happy? Are you pleased?
Maybe some of it, maybe all of it?

But no matter what, what prevailed the most at this moment and enveloped Aizen's heart was still the torrent of trust.

"You are able to confess such an ability to me, Shizuya-kun. This trust really makes me feel extremely heavy..."

Come and don't go indecent.

What’s more, they are like-minded and equally amazing disciples.

After a brief pause, Aizen made a seemingly irrational decision.

"Well, let me share a secret with you, too."

He drew the Zanpakuto at his waist into his palm and spoke in a calm tone.

"My Zanpakutō is called Kyoka Suigetsu, and its ability is... complete hypnosis."

Arima Shizuya also knew the specific abilities, but at this moment, he was somewhat moved to hear the person involved explain it in person.

After all, in the original work, there is usually only one situation in which Aizen can personally explain the power of his Zanpakutō to you.

That is the "declaration of victory" after winning is certain.

I thought the secret sharing might end here, but unexpectedly, Aizen smiled and continued.

"Of course, this ability is not unbreakable."

"As long as you touch the blade before the full hypnosis is activated, you can avoid the mirage."

……

……

……

Hey?
Arima Jing couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

This secret that Ichimaru Gin had spent decades laying the groundwork and testing before finally knowing was told to him at this moment in such a light-hearted manner?
The person concerned raised his head in surprise.

But he only saw Aizen half-crouching and extending his right hand towards him.

“Shared secrets deepen relationships and bonds.”

"Shizuya-kun, I am very grateful and honored at the same time."

"Having someone like you by my side will surely make the road ahead much broader."

"Come on, Shizuya-kun."

“Let us unite.”

Yes, if I had to describe it.

"There is no opponent ahead of us."
