From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 448: Aizen’s mirror flowers and water moons may be the root of all disasters.

Urahara Kisuke's proposal was rejected by Shihouin Yoruichi on the spot, which made him feel a little helpless.

After thinking for a while, Shifengyuan Liangye said, "Although our second division is not suitable for doing this kind of thing, your idea is still very constructive. Urahara Sansei, please write a plan and I will submit it to the captain-general to see if he has any ideas."

This sentence gave Urahara Kisuke hope again, and he nodded and said, "Yes, Master Liangye!"

Without continuing the topic, Shifengyuan Ryouye looked at them and said, "Today, the Sixth Division will cooperate with the Eleventh Division to go to the Hueco Mundo for the expedition. This is to pave the way for Kuchiki Ginling and Kuchiki Sojun. After this operation is over, Kuchiki Ginling will formally propose to resign from the team. Kuchiki Ginling, Tenkyoin Chika and I have already discussed it. On that day, the three of us will propose to take a leave of absence together. Yoruichi, you must now prepare to take over the position of captain of the Second Division."

"Yes, yes, I understand." Shifengyuan Ye nodded.

"What do you think about the deputy captain's matter?" Sifengyuan Liangye asked again.

"Kisuke happens to be the third seat. After I take office, wouldn't it be nice for him to be the vice-captain?" Shihouin Yoruichi said calmly.

Urahara Kisuke was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I'm definitely not suitable. The Second Division is in charge of the entire secret mobile force, and I don't have the ability in this area."

"Urahara Sansei is not an option." Shifengyuan Liangye frowned and said, "As the head of the Shifengyuan family, you need to understand the feelings of the nobles who follow us!"

"So what do you mean?" asked Shifengyuan Yoruichi.

Aya Hosho on the side had a look of anticipation on her face. She specializes in secret mobile forces and is also a noble following the Shihouin family. She perfectly meets the requirements of the vice-captain of the second division, right?

At the same time, Aya Hosho was also very happy. It was such an honor to be able to follow Yoruichi-sama and become her right-hand man! ?

Unfortunately, before Aya Hosho could wait too long, Shifengyuan Ryouya said, "Ohmaeda Nozomi should go in."

"The fifth seat of Omaeda?" Shifengyuan Yoruichi touched his chin and said, "That's it."

Seeing the two generations of the Shifengyuan family's patriarchs discussing and finalizing this matter, Aya Hosho felt a little regretful, but she would not be defeated by this setback. Instead, she became even more excited!

"Soufen." Shifengyuan Liangye looked at Houshao Ling again and said.

"Here!" Feng Shaoling responded immediately.

"You have performed very well recently. After becoming the head of the family, Yoruichi will naturally form his own personal guard. You should join this personal guard and take good care of Yoruichi for me." Shifengyuan Ryoye said.

The slightly disappointed Feng Shaoling's expression immediately became pleasantly surprised, and she agreed without hesitation: "Yes, Master Liang Ye, I will definitely risk my life to protect Master Ye!"

The reason why she wanted to become the vice-captain was because she wanted to be closer to Shihouin Yoruichi, not because she coveted power.

Although he has not become the deputy captain now, he has become the personal guard of Shihouin Yoruichi, and was instructed by Shihouin Ryouye to take good care of Yoruichi, which is completely in line with Houkisho Aya's expectations.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Soi-Fong~" Shihouin Yoruichi had no objection to this and said with a smile while lying on the tree.

On the other side, at the Maou Spiritual Academy.

Ben was standing on the podium at this time, talking eloquently.

The students in the audience were also listening very attentively. After 160 years of teaching career, Ben has completely mastered the skills of being a teacher. He is also very familiar with his courses and can answer almost all of the students' questions skillfully. He has the dean's demeanor.

As the bell rang for the end of get out of class, Ben stopped talking in time.

The timing was just right, and there was no need to extend the class too much, which he hated.

"Aizen Sosuke, come with me. The rest of you are dismissed." Ben tapped the blackboard and gave an order, then turned around and walked out of the classroom.

Before Aizen Sosuke in the crowd could even respond, he saw Ben had already walked out of the classroom door. He scratched his hair slightly helplessly, put away the books and notes on the table, hugged them in his arms, said hello to his friends around him, and quickly chased after him.

After taking a few steps to catch up with Ben, Aizen had no intention of speaking. He just followed Ben quietly like a follower.

If someone observes carefully, they will find that Aizen and Bane's steps are exactly the same, and the rhythm of their walking is just right. To describe it in one word, it is "like a shadow following behind."

Bane opened the door of the dean's office with the key. As soon as he entered, he took off the white robe of the Shinō Academy of Spiritual Arts and threw it on the hanger beside him.

And Aizen didn't need Bane to say anything. He walked to the tea table very skillfully, started taking tea leaves and boiling water to make tea.

It was obvious that this was not his first time here, and it was obvious that he did this often!
Ben didn't care about his image as the dean of the Ghost Academy. He leaned back on the sofa and said with a smile, "The tea you brew is really delicious. By the way, this morning the Kuchiki family sent me a cup of tea made from the Lingkaku tree of Tianxiu Peak. I'll bring it over someday so we can try it together."

Aizen Sosuke was from Rukongai, so before graduating from the academy, he was not allowed to enter or leave the academy without permission, or run around in Soul Society.

Therefore, he could not visit Bane on weekdays and could only wait in the academy until Bane had classes.

"No problem." Aizen replied with a smile.

Compared to his respect towards Orochimaru, Aizen is not that "unfamiliar" with Bane. Instead, the two seem closer.

"Did you receive the book I asked Orochimaru to bring you?" Bane asked.

"Teacher Orochimaru has handed it over to me, and I have been studying it these days." Aizen nodded in response.

While he was talking, the tea was already boiling. Aizen brewed the tea very skillfully. After a while, he picked up a cup and placed it in front of Ben. Ben was not polite. He took the cup, took a sip, and then asked, "I heard from Orochimaru that your Zanpakuto had already been released not long ago?"

Aizen was now sitting opposite Ben, also holding a cup of tea, and replied with a slight smile: "Yes, it happened a few days ago."

"I heard it's an illusion-type Zanpakuto? It can induce hallucinations in the enemy through methods such as refraction of water light? It's called Kyoka Suigetsu?" Bane asked Aizen with an interested expression.

Without waiting for Aizen to speak, he asked with great interest: "Show it to me?"

Aizen was silent for a moment, his expression a little complicated, then he smiled and said, "Master Lingzun, do you want to verify whether your eyes, which are said to be able to see through the three realms, can see through my illusions?"

There are quite a few illusion-type Zanpakutō in Soul Society. Although they are called illusion-type, in fact, most of them rely on "five senses control", which means interfering with a certain sense to cause the opponent to have illusions, reveal flaws and weaknesses, and then be attacked and killed.

For example, Hirako Mako's reverse caress can also be classified as an 'illusion system', and the ability of the initial release is to make all senses 'reversed'.

However, it was ineffective against Bane. Relying on his spiritual pressure that was so powerful that it was unrivaled in Soul Society, Bane's Mangekyō Sharingan was able to run rampant in Soul Society. He had seen through the true nature of illusion-type Zanpakuto many times, and Mako Hirako was the one who suffered the most among them.

It was also through this unreliable guy, Mako Hirako, that the rumor that Bane possessed a pair of eyes that could "see through the three realms" became popular in the Soul Society.

Most people have never seen Bane's Mangekyō Sharingan, but because there are so many stories about Bane and rumors have spread, this matter is now widely known and is taken as a fact by many people.

"Hahahaha." Ben laughed, "Can't you just consider it as my curiosity?"

Aizen took a sip of the tea, and after a moment, he suddenly said: "My mirror flowers and water moons do not induce hallucinations in the enemy through the refraction of water light."

"Huh?" Bane raised his eyebrows and looked at Aizen with some surprise.

He was certainly not surprised that Aizen's illusions were not as 'simple' as he described to outsiders, but he was surprised that Aizen actually wanted to speak frankly?
In fact, today's conversation was also a test of Aizen by Bane.

It's true that he admired Aizen, and he was cultivating him unreservedly, but after learning that Aizen had already achieved his Shikai, Bane felt that it was time for him to determine his attitude towards Aizen in the future.

If Aizen were to take advantage of the situation today, he could use the ordinary refraction of water light to show off his Shikai or something.

Bane might not necessarily read it, but he would also give Aizen a "cross" in his heart.

He will continue to train Aizen, but he will do so with a purpose.

And if Aizen confessed the secret of Kyoka Suigetsu today, although Bane was not very hopeful about this, he still had some expectations. Then his attitude towards Aizen would also be adjusted and would be more pure.

The reason why he asked now was because Bane knew that once Aizen mastered Kyoka Suigetsu for a longer time, and experienced the pleasure of being able to manipulate others invisibly for a long time, he would inevitably become more immersed in it, and his current relatively comfortable and gentle personality would most likely begin to distort.

Relying on his natural talent, Aizen was born with strong spiritual pressure and was very intelligent, so he was a relatively arrogant person.

Bane is very clear about this, and Aizen himself is actually aware of this. In the academy, he is indeed very arrogant, but at the same time, he is also kind-hearted. Because he has only been in the Maou Spiritual Academy for less than a year, his horizons are not that broad, so he will carefully test and observe this world to find his place in this world.

Therefore, at this time period, it would undoubtedly be very foolish to define him at this moment based on his future impressions of Aizen.

Aizen now positions himself as a 'genius' in the academy. None of his classmates are as good as him, but there are people like him in the Shinō Academy every year. There is no shortage of geniuses in the Soul Society. Aizen certainly won't become arrogant until he truly realizes that those so-called 'geniuses' are nothing but mediocre people in front of him.

In Bane's opinion, if Aizen was naturally strong in spiritual pressure, he would never have taken the path he did later.

He believed that Aizen had changed from a genius to a madman who wanted to sit on the throne of the Sora, and the thing that had the greatest influence on his growth and change was not his innately powerful spiritual pressure, but the Mirror Flower and Water Moon that he had just released not long ago!
This Zanpakutō that can control others is the factor that truly brings about Aizen's qualitative change.

From the moment he awakened the ability of Kyoka Suigetsu, Aizen began to feel the joy of manipulating others. The feeling of being above all others and treating all others as fools gradually made him "transcend" from the ranks of the God of Death and no longer regard other people as his own kind.

Because he can manipulate other people's consciousness at will, he has experienced the joy of being a "God".

In the end, he embarked on the lonely road of becoming a king.

"It's not ordinary water refraction, then what is it? You disguised the ability of your Zanpakuto? Why?" Bane raised his eyebrows and asked.

Aizen Sosuke thought for a moment and said, "If a child walks in a busy city with gold, he will surely suffer misfortune."

Without waiting for Bane to speak again, Aizen said, "I am still too weak, but the ability I awakened is unexpectedly terrifying. Therefore, I realized this problem the moment I awakened. If I don't disguise myself as more mediocre, perhaps just knowing this ability will immediately put me in prison or even in the maggot nest, right?"

Aizen's intelligence can be seen at this moment.

It is definitely impossible to say that Aizen had already started wanting to ascend the Throne of the Sky since the moment he awakened Kyoka Suigetsu.

His initial idea of hiding Mirror Flower and Water Moon's true ability came from the purpose of "self-protection".

Because he knew clearly how terrifying the power of Mirror Flowers and Water Moons was. Once the superiors knew about it, he would probably not have a good ending with his current strength.

In the process of hiding his ability, Aizen gradually discovered that no one in the Soul Society could see through his power. So he began to enjoy manipulating others and gradually became addicted to it.

This is the horror of the mirror flower and water moon. Does it really only affect outsiders? No, it can even affect its own owner!

It's just that the methods and meanings are different.
