Chapter 156 Killing the Spirit King

"It didn't happen?!"

Upon hearing this, Saito immediately snorted coldly and said, "How could you say such a thing?"

"The Blood Moon Calamity was created by the Quincy!"

"?!impossible!"

Rukia exclaimed in shock, "During the Blood Moon Disaster, the Quincy were still a loose group. If there had been such a powerful woman, Yhwach wouldn't have been able to unite the other Quincy so easily!"

"Why is that impossible?"

Saito coldly looked at Rukia and said, "That woman is using the Sacred Arrow of Annihilation, a Quincy's Spirit Bow."

.

"And you yourself said that Yhwach has already integrated the Quincy, right? So what's his next move? Don't tell me you don't know."

"He won't attack Soul Society!" Rukia added, "Although I don't know much about what happened before, Urahara once said that the Shinigami and Quincy went to war because the Quincy's act of destroying Hollows would disrupt the balance of the three worlds."

"But that kind of thing doesn't exist anymore! Even if the Quincy kill the Hollows, it won't disrupt the balance of the three realms. The most fundamental conflict of interest between the Shinigami and the Quincy is gone!"

She was quite emotional when she said these things, because she had kept these words in her heart for a long time.

She has always been in this state of confusion. She herself does not know whether she is a Shinigami, a Hollow, or a Quincy.

In short, the reason she didn't answer Saito's question about whether she was a Shinigami or a Quincy was not because she chose to be a Quincy, but because she herself didn't know what to do!

She had been pondering this question for decades, from initially insisting on choosing Death, to later feeling lost, and then deliberately avoiding the question until more than a decade ago when she could no longer avoid it and saw that a great war was destined to break out. All the confusion she had accumulated over the decades erupted at this moment.

She seemed to be speaking to Saito, but also to herself.

Saito was well aware that, no matter what, this era was at least stronger in terms of balance than the previous one.

As the captain of the Gotei 13, she had actually noticed this problem long ago.

The balance of the three realms has not been disrupted.

But this is not a reason for her to reconcile with the Quincy, because she is certain that the Blood Moon Disaster was caused by the Quincy!

Strictly speaking, her original self, the real Saito Immortal, died in that war.

Furthermore, Rukia also said that Yhwach is already unifying the Quincy, and these two major forces will inevitably clash one day, even without the fundamental conflict of interest of maintaining the balance of the three realms.

She was also somewhat devastated, and to no less than Rukia.

She had always hoped to find a companion.

The first wanderer was too young, the second was Aizen, a villain, and the third finally found Rukia, thinking he finally had a companion to talk to and fight alongside, only to learn that this companion had joined the Quincy?!

She couldn't help but ask, "Fine, then tell me, what if the Quincy initiate a war against the Soul Society one day?"

"Of course I'll stop him!" Rukia said firmly. "Believe me, I won't betray the Shinigami! Even if I don't know anyone in the Soul Society in this era, there's still the Kuchiki family, isn't there?"

"Actually—this isn't a problem at all."

Just as Rukia finished speaking, another voice came from the other side. This voice startled both Saito and Rukia, and they immediately drew their swords!

But upon seeing the man, Saito couldn't help but exclaim, "Aizen!"

What? This is Aizen?

Upon hearing Saito's words, Rukia's eyes widened in surprise.

Looking at the man before her, Rukia simply couldn't reconcile him with Aizen Sousuke.

"It's been a long time, Rukia Kuchiki."

Aizen looked at Rukia and said softly, "You've become much stronger than before."

"You've been following me?!"

Before Rukia could speak, Saito angrily said!

She came to see Rukia without telling Aizen!

"It's just that you weren't honest enough." Aizen wasn't ashamed at all, and simply said, "But if you want to feel better, then I can say that I just wanted to exchange some information with you. After learning that you were in Rukongai, I came to find you and happened to overhear your conversation here."

"You bastard!" Saito angrily swung his sword at him!

But Aizen's figure vanished instantly, and the next moment he reappeared behind Saito and Rukia, saying softly, "Anger will only make you lose your judgment."

The two turned around, looked at Aizen whose back was to them, and gritted their teeth, saying, "Aizen, what do you want to do?!"

"I'm just here to give you some advice."

Aizen turned around again, looked at the two of them, and said, "A method that can prevent the Shinigami and Quincy from going to war, while also fulfilling our wishes."

Rukia and Saito frowned, exchanged a glance, and then the latter asked, "What method?"

"Similarly, if we want to investigate the truth about how we came to be in this era, we also need to see the Spirit King."

"Then, I will enter the Spirit King's Palace, meet the Spirit King, and kill him, or take everything from him."

"You still haven't given up on your plan after all!" Saito almost laughed in anger upon hearing Aizen's words.

In his previous life, Aizen intended to kill the Soul King, but was stopped by Ichigo Kurosaki.

In this life, he still wants to kill the Spirit King, and what's worse, he even pretends it's for their own good?!

"Wait, you said the Soul King betrayed the Quincy? What does that mean?"

Rukia overheard some things she didn't know from Aizen's words and couldn't help but say, "You were a member of the Kuchiki clan, one of the five great noble families, yet you know nothing about what your ancestors did?" Aizen replied with a faint sneer, "Enough with the sarcasm." Rukia said, "Besides, I'm just an adopted son, and the Kuchiki family doesn't manage history."

""

"This isn't sarcasm, just stating a fact. The progenitors of the five noble families were, in the Spirit King's eyes, five traitors." Their betrayal made the Spirit King a traitor in the eyes of the Quincy.

"Therefore, Hitsugaya is right. Even without the issue of the balance of the three realms, the Quincy would still wage war against the Shinigami because they are seeking 'revenge' for themselves."
