I'm in Bleach, starting with Unlimited Blade Works.

With Erin's power, he could storm the Spirit King's Palace and become its ruler at any time if he wanted to.

But why didn't he do that?

"Captain Aizen, as long as the people I care about are happy, it doesn't matter to me what they become in this world."

"Whether it's the current five noble families, or the Espada of Hueco Mundo after you, Captain Aizen, successfully become the new Soul King, or the Quincy's Divine Pardon Guard, in my opinion they are all the same."

"Why? Don't you find this twisted world disgusting?"

"Huh? What do I care about the world's distortion and disgust?"

Erin raised an eyebrow and gave Aizen a slight smile.

"If anyone dares to try and annoy me, Captain Aizen is the best example to learn from."

Yes, with Erin's current strength, she could easily make someone die without them even realizing it.

No matter how disgusting the world may be, neither he nor the people around him who care about him will disgust him.

Because in this world, the most fundamental thing is still strength.

Chapter 198 The Language Art of Inazome

If you possess sufficient strength, everything in the world will treat you kindly.

Even Aizen couldn't refute this point.

However, while Aizen could not refute Erin's point of view, he did not agree with it either.

Because this is the cruelest truth of the world: betrayal.

The power of the Spirit King is beyond doubt.

However, the overwhelming power aroused ulterior motives among the five noble families under the Spirit King.

Ultimately, the Spirit King was betrayed by the five subordinates he trusted.

However, based on the future he could see, the Spirit King felt that his sacrifice was worthwhile.

Therefore, even though he was sealed in the yellow crystal, and even though he had been tormented by the Tsunayo family several times over the past million years and turned into a human pig, the Spirit King still had no intention of destroying the world.

Even when he could no longer hold on and wanted to seek release through death, he chose the future that would cause the least harm to the world, protecting the world as it flowed towards that future.

In that future, there will be beings capable of killing themselves, and three or four beings that can perfectly replace themselves as "wedges" to stabilize the world.

No matter what the world becomes after I die, the future of this world will not change much.

Therefore, when Captain Erin said that he was a cautionary tale, Aizen chuckled.

"Captain Erin, are you sure I'm really a cautionary tale?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the fact that Captain Erin is here so leisurely suggests that nothing bad has happened within Seireitei."

"In other words, Captain Erin took over my work of hundreds of years, used the Kyoka Suigetsu to hypnotize the entire Seireitei, and made someone else take my place as the captain of the Fifth Division."

"Under such circumstances, no one knows that I have been replaced by you, so how can others take me as a warning?"

Indeed, in this incident involving the plum needles, no one knew that Aizen Sousuke had tampered with it, nor did anyone know that Aizen had been silently replaced by Erin.

As a result, those who have designs on Erin or the Kuchiki family may have some misunderstandings about Erin.

"Captain Erin, you possess the power to overthrow the Seireitei, but you also need to let some people see that you are prepared to use this power to do so."

"Otherwise, many people might think that Captain Erin is kind-hearted and would use some despicable means to threaten him."

Indeed, Aizen's words made sense.

but……

"Captain Aizen, I must say, you truly deserve to be the one who gave birth to the strongest illusion-type Zanpakuto, Kyoka Suigetsu. Just the power of your words to bewitch is no weaker than Kyoka Suigetsu's hypnotic ability."

Erin stretched and said casually, "Do you think anyone in the Seireitei, besides you, would dare to mess with the Kuchiki family or me?"

“In the past, I might have been limited by a lack of intelligence and could only deal with those who surfaced on the spot, killing anyone who dared to make a move.”

"But now, Captain Aizen, your various spies, which you've been cultivating for hundreds of years, bring me interesting intelligence almost every day."

"Do you think, with the support of this intelligence capability, I can nip all those families' plans in the bud before they even make a move?"

It has to be said that Aizen's ability to deceive people is comparable to Orochimaru's from the next village.

These people were all hoping that Aizen would lead them to a revolution in the Soul Society.

Unfortunately, Aizen ultimately abandoned them because of their lack of strength and chose Hueco Mundo as his base.

Now, it's Erin who benefits.

……

"Classmates, I know that you may feel down right now because of falling behind for the time being."

"However, your current lagging behind does not mean that your strength will be inferior to others in the future."

At the Shinigami Academy, Erin chatted kindly with the students around her, focusing on comforting those who had lost in the recent slashing training.

"You are only first-year students now, and what the teacher teaches you is only the art of cutting."

"Naturally, those with good talent in cutting techniques will improve their strength faster."

"When you reach the second year, all the lessons the teacher taught will become useless."

"At this time, students with strong white-handed talent will see their strength improve rapidly."

"When you reach the third year, you will begin to study Kido. Those with strong Kido talent will rise to prominence in the third year."

"In the fourth year, the teacher will teach you Shunpo (Flash Step). By using Shunpo, you can create distance or close distance with your enemies, placing yourself at a suitable fighting distance and fully unleashing your strength."

"At this time, everyone's strength will be comprehensively improved."

"Of course, even if you are still not as good as others when you are in the fourth grade, there is no need to worry at all."

"When you are in the fifth year, you will receive the Grim Reaper's most important weapon—the Asauchi."

"Through the training of 'Sword Zen,' everyone can nurture the 'spirit' within the Asauchi. Once the 'spirit' of the Zanpakuto is nurtured to the point where it can communicate with you and tell you its name, everyone's strength will experience a tremendous leap."

"After all, everyone knows that almost 70% of a Shinigami's power comes from his Zanpakuto."

"A powerful Zanpakuto ability can make you surpass most Shinigami and become an elite among Shinigami. It's even possible to become a seated officer, vice-captain, or even captain in the future."

Under the admiring gazes of the students, Erin spoke eloquently, telling these newly enrolled students about their future cultivation path.

After glancing at the sky, Erin smiled and said to the students, "I know you are all very curious about the abilities of the Shinigami Zanpakuto."

"Alright then, as my final instruction to everyone today, I will demonstrate the abilities of my Zanpakuto."

"Everyone, please look carefully..."

"If I miss this opportunity, I won't show it to everyone a second time."

"After all, the Zanpakuto ability of a Shinigami can be considered his greatest trump card."

"After you've finished reading, remember not to reveal my Zanpakuto's abilities to others."

"Yes, yes, we understand, Captain Aizen."

"Haha, I can tell everyone is eager to see the release of the Zanpakuto, so I won't delay any longer."

Amid the expectant gazes of the students, Erin slowly drew his Zanpakuto from his waist, held it upside down in front of him with the blade pointing downwards, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Shatter, you illusion, you mirage!"

"Wow……"

In an instant, all the students gasped in amazement.

In their eyes, after Captain Aizen called out the name of his Zanpakuto, his Zanpakuto instantly turned into a large amount of white mist that enveloped the surroundings.

Surrounded by thick fog, everyone felt that they had completely lost sight of their companions; all they could see was white fog.

If they were to encounter such a sudden change during a battle, they would certainly be terrified.

However, since Captain Aizen specifically arranged for everyone to experience the Zanpakuto's abilities, there is naturally no danger.

So, the group of students wandered around in the mist, experiencing what it felt like to be affected by the Zanpakuto's power.

Looking at the students who were running around the playground like headless flies, Erin's gaze quickly locked onto a few of them.

Renji Abarai, Momo Hinamori, Izuru Kira!

These are the three most talented students in this cohort.

However, among these people, only Renji Abarai's performance in the white mist earned Erin's praise.

Renji Abarai truly lived up to his reputation as someone with the strongest fighting instincts. Even though he knew that Captain Aizen was having them experience the power of their Zanpakuto, his right hand never left the hilt of the training sword at his waist.

Hinamori Momo was no different from the other students, marveling at Captain Aizen's Zanpakuto abilities, but never thinking about how she would deal with it if she encountered a similar ability.

About thirty seconds later, Erin sensed that some students had begun to show signs of anxiety, so he dispelled the hypnotic effect of the Mirror Flower Water Moon on their five senses.

"Captain Aizen's abilities are incredible!"

At this moment, all the students looked at Aizen with longing and anticipation.

Seeing is better than hearing.

Captain Aizen truly lives up to his reputation as one of the most outstanding members of the Gotei 13.

This ability is far stronger than many seemingly powerful Zanpakuto abilities.

After all, in that thick fog, you can't even see the enemy, and if you attack randomly, you're very likely to hit your own teammates.

"Haha, among the captains, my abilities are still very insignificant."

"Moreover, everyone is still in the learning stage. Perhaps after you all obtain your Zanpakuto, the power of your Zanpakuto will be even stronger than mine."

"Alright, everyone, that concludes today's lesson."

"Everyone must train hard and strive to achieve good results in the graduation exam of the Shinigami Academy, so as to successfully enter the Gotei 13."

"We are the ones protecting the Seireitei now."

"But the future of Seireitei requires you to grow up and protect it yourselves!"

"Keep it up, I believe in you guys."

After giving the trainees a pep talk as usual, Erin put the Mirror Flower Water Moon back into his waistband, said goodbye to the trainees, and left the training ground.
