Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World.

Chapter 336 The Promise with Aizen

"Excuse my bluntness, Captain Aizen."

Gin Ichimaru said with a smile, "I can't report any information to you, even though I've only glimpsed the tip of the iceberg of the Samsara Game."

He was telling the truth.

A game that allows players to become stronger through reincarnation, missions that traverse countless worlds, and limitless growth that breaks free from constraints; a game merchant revered by all players.

After giving Aizen a general overview of the information he knew, Gin Ichimaru fell silent.

He was actually able to deceive Aizen.

But the risk is too great. The cunning and treacherous Aizen might expose his lie directly, and the consequences would be unpredictable.

It would be better to just tell the whole story.

Having followed Aizen for many years, Gin Ichimaru has come to understand a part of Aizen's personality: he is unable to resist anything that can pique his interest.

Without a doubt, the existence of the Samsara Game would definitely attract Aizen.

The entire Soul Society, no... I should say the entire place that the Rinne Games calls the Bleach world,

Only I possess player status, at least for now.

Which means,

I am qualified to negotiate with Aizen.

If you have leverage, you're not a pawn to be slaughtered, but a player who can compete with Aizen.

"That sounds like a terrible story, Gin."

Aizen reached out and gently pushed up the frame of his glasses, hiding his eyes in the reflection of the lenses.

This is a gesture he habitually uses to conceal his emotions.

Gin Ichimaru said with a smile, "If Captain Aizen thinks it's just a story, then consider it a dream I had."

"However, you are my best subordinate, and the trust between us is very precious, so I believe what you say."

Aizen's expression remained unchanged.

But deep down, I felt incredulous, and emotions that hadn't stirred in a long time began to flutter.

Although absurd, it perfectly explains Gin Ichimaru's sudden disappearance and reappearance, and his abrupt possession of the ability to shatter his own illusions.

Is it a game of reincarnation?

Aizen continued to ask questions,

He focused his attention on game-related details, his gaze lingering on Gin Ichimaru's face as he sensed the fluctuations in his spiritual pressure.

The narrative was flawless, a perfect one, with no trace of lying detected in either the emotions or the spiritual pressure.

this means,

Unless Gin Ichimaru's cunning and strength far exceed his expectations, allowing him to perfectly deceive him, everything he says is absolutely true.

"Tell me your thoughts, Gin, or rather... what kind of request do you want to make?"

Even if one knows things beyond the scope of comprehension

Aizen remained calm and quietly watched Gin Ichimaru.

Like a hunter who seems to have everything under control, watching his ignorant prey trapped in a cage yet still trying to break free.

"It's an honor to be able to negotiate with Captain Aizen."

Gin Ichimaru's slightly blue pupils revealed his inner turmoil.

The Rinne Game indeed has the right to negotiate with Aizen.

"certainly."

Aizen smiled and nodded, saying, "Most life forms feel fear when faced with the unknown, and stop in their tracks because of fear. But there are also a few that want to explore and understand the unknown."

"Gin, who's willing to stay by my side and work together to perfect the Hogyoku project, shares the same idea as me..."

The entire Soul Society is the dwelling place of Shinigami (death gods) and souls, and the final resting place for souls in the human world.

Ruled by four powerful families and nobles, they created a nauseating order known as the [Central Forty-Six Chambers].

Death, like these grim reapers, maintains the stability of order, much like a butcher's knife.

But... how come no one noticed that the order had already decayed?

Do not,

Perhaps they could sense it, but no one wanted to change it, because historical records since the birth of Soul Society show that this order has been in place for countless years.

It is precisely because of stagnation, because of fear of the unknown,

This led to the Soul Society's continuous decay and depravity, and the once high and mighty Soul King had long since become the core of evil.

It needs to be removed.

This was Aizen's idea.

There was no passionate enthusiasm, no impassioned fervor, and certainly no righteous indignation.

I just suddenly had this thought, and then I wanted to do something.

It's that simple.

"I'm sorry to disappoint Captain Aizen, but I am not the same kind of person as you."

Gin Ichimaru's narrowed eyes looked like those of a cold, venomous snake as he said, "My demand is that you hand over the portion of the soul you took from Rangiku Matsumoto!"

There was no roundabout approach or probing.

He stated his request directly because Aizen probably already knew his purpose, and hiding it would be pointless.

"Is that so? So it's because of Ms. Matsumoto?"

Although Aizen spoke with a tone of doubt, his eyes held a gentle smile, as if he had known all along what Gin Ichimaru wanted to ask.

He nodded slightly, then shook his head and said, "I agree to your request, but..."

Gin Ichimaru frowned.

Aizen raised his head, looked at him calmly, and said, "Gin, you should know that although they are all born into this world, the value of their souls is vastly different."

"Most lives are those of mediocre, ignorant beings who, even when guided or wielding swords, have no right to be noticed."

"But...Matsumoto's soul has an immeasurable price."

The entire world of Bleach,

All of this arose because of the birth of a being called [Spirit King].

Within Matsumoto Rangiku's soul lies the fingertip of the Soul King.

Aizen's overthrow of the corrupt Soul Society hinged on the Hogyoku, a crucial product forged from his fingertip—a work of meticulous planning over countless years.

but,

Even upon hearing Gin Ichimaru demand the most important Hogyoku,

Unlike those blustering but cowardly schemers, Aizen didn't show any fear or unease. He remained calm and asked, "So, what heavy price can you offer in exchange for the Hogyoku?"

to him,

The Hogyoku is a tool for achieving ambitions, but it is not indispensable; even without the Hogyoku,

Aizen was confident that he could achieve his plan, only that the process would be more complicated.

of course,

The premise is that Gin Ichimaru can offer something more interesting than the Hogyoku.

Gin Ichimaru said, "Killing a lord monster will drop a game invitation, which can be used to invite anyone to log in to the game."

I have been classified as a [Tier 2] by the game and am unable to hunt low-tier lords.

Most of the second-tier lords in the [Eternal Snow Mountain] are thick-skinned and tough, making it difficult for him to hunt them with his current strength.

Unless you can exchange for a set of purple-quality equipment first.

"A game invitation, huh? As expected of Silver, you've already planned your negotiations with me?"

Aizen thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "I agree."

He knew very well that the Hogyoku was worth far more than the game invitation, but that was for Gin Ichimaru.

The fact that the other party was chosen by the Reincarnation Game is an unknown fact that even the Spirit King has never encountered, and it is also a kind of value.

Gin Ichimaru smiled and probed, "Captain Aizen, aren't you afraid I'll become stronger than you and defeat you?"

He feared that once Aizen realized his strength had increased, he would eliminate him immediately.

Aizen chuckled softly twice, and his figure gradually disappeared.

Only the gentle voice remained in place.

"Since when did you start having the illusion that you could defeat me?"

"If it's really possible, then let's give it a try, Gintoki..."
