Death God: A High-Dimensional Overlord, Starting by Devouring the Soul King

Chapter 157 The Betrayal of the Five Noble Families?

???

The Five Great Aristocratic Ancestors —

Is he a traitor?

What is Aizen saying?!

Every Grim Reaper has surely learned this phrase.

"One must not pursue the aesthetics of clashing swords; one must not pursue the virtue of dying without returning; one must not consider only one's own life; if one wishes to protect a king and five dukes, then one should slaughter all the enemies from the shadows of the leaves."

This is the original text from the textbook "The Great Study of the Death God's Insights" from the Shinigami Academy of Spiritual Arts.

They must have all seen and learned this sentence when they were in school!

It's very simple: Death's duty is to protect the king and his five dukes. As long as it's to protect the king and his five dukes, they need to risk everything and use any means necessary!

The so-called "one king and five dukes" refers to King Ling and the five noble families.

In other words, the five noble families and the Soul King have always been one, so how did they become traitors who betrayed the Soul King in Aizen's words?

Seeing the shocked expressions on their faces, Aizen said softly, "You two—you truly know nothing about what you are trying to protect."

"That's enough!"

Rukia gritted her teeth and said, "Don't say anything more! Because no matter what you say, we won't believe you!"

He's Aizen!

The man who is most skilled at using language to defeat his enemies!

How could they believe Aizen's words?

"it's a pity."

Aizen said calmly, "Refusing to believe what is already a fact is the act of the weak, while those around me are definitely the strong."

"Kuchiki Rukia, even though you've come to a new era and have a completely new life, you still haven't grown at all."

Rukia's expression darkened, and she lowered her head, but had nothing to say to Aizen.

Because she was also feeling somewhat lost at that moment.

Own----

"Just say it," Saito said coldly. "I'd like to hear what you have to say."

Aizen glanced at her and said calmly, "You probably won't believe me if I tell you myself. Come with me."

With that, Aizen headed straight for the Soul Society.

Saito glanced at Rukia, who hesitated for a moment, but eventually nodded, and the three of them walked into the Soul Society together.

This is Rukia's first time visiting the Soul Society since she traveled through time, and it's clear that the Soul Society from a thousand years ago is different from the one in her time.

However, in her memory, the Seireitei has always been built in the style of the Heian period. Since a thousand years ago, Seireitei has sometimes undergone partial renovations, but the overall architectural layout has never changed much.

This dramatic change can only prove that a huge disaster has occurred in the Soul Society, leading to the reconstruction of many buildings and even altering the entire layout of the Soul Society.

That is to say—

Blood Moon Disaster!

That great calamity truly affected the entire Soul Society, just like when the Quincy attacked the Shinigami.

In this era, who exactly is capable of achieving this level of accomplishment?

She absolutely refused to believe it was Yhwach!

Because she knew very well that Yhwach did not have that ability!

Based on the timeline they provided, the Blood Moon Calamity occurred shortly after she transmigrated.

Or rather, she transmigrated here after the Blood Moon Catastrophe.

Not long after she traveled through time, she met Yhwach, who was just a child at the time. Let alone the fact that he could have committed such a horrific crime as the Blood Moon Disaster back then, he probably couldn't even do it now!

So—who could it be?

This wasn't the time to think about those things, because she was carefully looking around, afraid of being exposed.

Fortunately, Aizen's Kyoka Suigetsu ability seemed to still be intact. She walked openly on the streets of the Soul Society as a dragon, but no one noticed!

"Do you still retain your illusory, dreamlike existence?"

Saito couldn't help but ask if she and Aizen had cooperated, yet neither knew anything about the other.

Saito inquired about Kuchiki Kyoga's abilities and only knew that he could control his Zanpakuto.

But no one expected that he would also preserve the illusion of a mirage.

Hitsugaya didn't bring Hyōrinmaru with him!

If the illusion of a mirage still exists, then Aizen is undoubtedly even more terrifying!

Saito harbored a deep fear of Aizen.

Aizen didn't seem to care much and just kept walking forward.

"Your 'illusory beauty' seems even more powerful than before."

Saito continued, saying that she remembered very clearly that Aizen's Kyoka Suigetsu required a hypnotic ritual to subdue someone.

Aizen could never hypnotize everyone in the Soul Society, so why is he walking here so openly with Rukia without anyone noticing?

Of course, he couldn't possibly know that Aizen had already achieved perfect harmony between man and sword, and that Kyoka Suigetsu was him. Therefore, he no longer needed to perform a hypnosis ritual to use Kyoka Suigetsu as before.

For Aizen, as long as he allows his spiritual pressure to touch the other person, he can cast the Kyoka Suigetsu spell on them.

However, he doesn't have the peak strength he had in his previous life, so he can't use it on people who are too powerful.

It can indeed hypnotize them, but the effect will be greatly reduced, and the consumption will be particularly high.

But this time, he wasn't going to the team office; he was going to the Tsunayo family's house.

The Tsuna-Yashiro family didn't have many powerful members, so Aizen traveled smoothly all the way to the Tsuna-Yashiro family's archives.

Each of the five noble families actually represents a symbol.

"And the Tsunayo family represents history."

The Tsunayo family is responsible for all the history of the Soul Society over the past million years, and also for monitoring the three realms, so the most original records of chaos can be seen in their archives.

Rukia was aware of this, so when Aizen brought her into the archives, her body trembled involuntarily.

She was genuinely worried at that moment.

if----

What would I do if I saw something that I couldn't accept?

if----

If everything I insisted on in the past was wrong, then was my past self righteous?

Rukia took a deep breath.

Well, whatever the case, now that we've come this far, there's absolutely no reason to back down!

No matter what Aizen wants her to see, she will make herself accept it!

That's right, I can't dwell on the past anymore.

Since I want Captain Hitsugaya to give up his hatred for the Quincy of this era, then I should also do that, and everything should be based on this new era!

Thus, Rukia and Saito witnessed the very beginning of history.

That is, the history of the five noble families betraying the Spirit King, using the Spirit King's power to create the Three Realms, and how they humiliated the Spirit King afterwards!
