Chapter 338: Mirror flowers and water moons don’t work?
Facing Lu Li's question, Aizen also became serious, "Mr. Lu, I'm being followed."
"Is there anyone else who could follow you?"
Lu Li wondered, he thought to himself, Sosuke, aren’t you the number one actor in Soul Society and the king of hiding your whereabouts?
"I'm not omnipotent, Lu Jun. I just try to do everything perfectly. In fact, I didn't notice it this time until I was on the way to Hueco Mundo."
Aizen said.
"Is it the Quincy that I don't like?"
Lu Li analyzed that he felt that it was impossible for the Death God natives who did not have a God's perspective to chase after Sosuke for investigation, and it was impossible for ordinary explorers to dare to look for trouble with Sosuke.
"Most likely, but the problem isn't with that Quincy. After all, no one will believe anything a Quincy says."
Aizen said that he was actually very curious about why Lu Jun had a grudge against that Quincy, but it didn’t matter to him. Since he was Lu Jun’s enemy, he was his enemy.
"Who's the other person following you?"
Lu Li asked curiously.
"Captain of the 11th Division, Kenpachi Zaraki."
Aizen said with a serious look in his eyes.
Lu Li also realized the seriousness of the matter, "Kenpachi Zaraki? I heard about him after returning to Soul Society. He seems very strong. How did Sosuke know for sure it was him?"
According to the supplementary stories he read in the space, Kenpachi Zaraki is a ruthless character.
The captain of the 11th Division before him, Kenpachi Kuriyashiki, was very powerful himself and had once been recruited by the Zero Division. His strength was evident from this. Moreover, his actual combat record was also very impressive. He once defeated a Vastrod-class Hollow alone, oh, that is, Sal Apollo-kun.
In the novel about space, his strength together with Captain Yamamoto and Squad Zero is described as "One Knife to a Thousand". Well, that's quite an exaggeration.
In fact, when he came to the world of Bleach last time, he also felt that Kenpachi Kuriyashiki was a very strong man when he saw him, and Sosuke also had a very high opinion of him.
But how did such a person die? He was killed by Kenpachi Zaraki in seconds...
Although this may be due to the fact that Kenpachi Zaraki has no martial ethics, it is enough to show how powerful Kenpachi Zaraki is. In addition, his Zanpakutō has strange abilities and he is not even afraid of Aizen's Kyoka Suigetsu. He is truly a troublesome opponent.
"Because I met him face to face and we even got physical."
Aizen said, "It's very troublesome. He has seen my Kyoka Suigetsu, but he can't control it."
As their friendship deepened and their strengths improved, they had already gained a deep understanding of each other's abilities.
For example, Aizen told Lu Li the true ability of his Zanpakuto, saying that the talent for hypnosis skills he mastered when he was young might have come from his Zanpakuto. Naturally, Lu Li would not expose this little lie.
After realizing that Kenpachi Zaraki was following him, Aizen already had plans to get rid of him. After all, as the vice-captain of the 5th Division, it was too suspicious for him to enter the Hueco Mundo, and it was difficult to explain. If he was reported by the other party, all his plans would be ruined.
When he was promoted to vice-captain, he appeared at a meeting organized by the captain-general. When Mako Hirako introduced himself to everyone, he timely demonstrated the ability of his Zanpakutō. Of course, he was talking about the Flowing Water Zanpakutō. He used this reason to let all the captains see the Shikai.
Kenpachi Zaraki was also among them, so he thought that this battle could be won easily. However, after fighting, he found that his opponent was not completely affected by hypnosis.
"Didn't they say it can be completely hypnotized?"
Lu Li looked at Aizen's waist and said, "Sosuke, can you do this?"
"It should be related to the ability of his Zanpakutō. His Bankai seems to be able to monitor, eavesdrop, sense, and control everything about his soul fusion..."
Aizen analyzed, "I may have successfully manipulated his five senses, but he sensed the outside world through the fused spirit particles and regained his true perception."
Lu Li looked at Aizen in admiration, "As expected of you, you were able to analyze so much in just one fight."
This admiration came from the heart. At least Lu Li felt that if he suddenly ran into a guy with such strange and fancy abilities, he would not be able to discover the truth of his abilities even after fighting for a long time.
However, Sosuke was able to guess the true ability of the opponent's Bankai after only a short fight.
"It's useless to just analyze it. I couldn't keep him."
Aizen looked calm. Even though his actions had been exposed, he could still sit here and chat with Lu Li calmly, which showed that he had a strong psychological quality.
"Sosuke, your spiritual pressure should be much stronger than that of ordinary captains, right? Can't you beat him even with this?"
Lu Li asked curiously, wanting to find out the enemy's specific combat power.
It was easy for him to figure out the ins and outs of this matter. Kenpachi Zaraki himself was a character with a complex stance. Because of his ideal of wanting to annihilate all Hollows, he would give people room to exploit.
The Soul Singer most likely made some kind of deal with Kenpachi Zaraki, asking Kenpachi Zaraki to help get rid of Aizen, so that he could eliminate the powerful figure around him.
In fact, the initiative in the current situation is still in his hands. After all, he has a certain foundation and connections in Soul Society. Even if Sosuke is eliminated or tied up by the Soul Singer, it will be difficult for the Soul Singer to kill him.
Apart from anything else, if Captain Yamamoto took action, he could kill the Soul Singer in one blow, even more efficiently than Sosuke, leaving the Soul Singer no chance to escape.
But if this matter is not handled properly now, he will become very passive. If various things are involved, given Captain Yamamoto's upright character, he will most likely not protect himself.
What's more, he couldn't just sit there and watch Sosuke being pushed out, so he had to work with Sosuke to find a way to resolve the current crisis.
"It's not a question of whether I can win or not, Lu Jun. The battle between the Shinigami is a battle of spiritual pressure. I have told you this before."
Aizen said, changing the subject, "However, when there is no hopeless gap in spiritual pressure, mutual restraint of abilities and tactics are equally important."
"So, Sosuke, you can't do anything to him now? What was the result of the fight between you two?"
Lu Li understood what Aizen meant. After all, Aizen was still young and his strength was still on the rise. It would probably take a hundred years for him to reach his limit as a god of death.
However, Kenpachi Zaraki is already at the peak of his strength. Strictly speaking, Kenpachi Zaraki has the advantage over the current Aizen, after all, Sosuke is young and does not have the Hogyoku.
"He seemed to have reservations. We only fought tentatively for a moment, and when Stark and the others arrived, he retreated first."
Aizen said, "It's really thanks to you, Lu Jun, that you can gather so many Vastode-level Hollows. He dare not take it lightly."
Vastod-class Hollows are not cabbages. If five Vastod-class Hollows attack Soul Society, if the captain-general does not take action, they will definitely cause serious damage, not to mention flattening the Soul Society.
Even Kenpachi Zaraki wouldn't say he was confident in facing several Vastods while fighting Aizen. Stark's Infinite Flash was enough to make him suffer. Soul Singer had other concerns. In a one-on-one fight, he was confident that he could beat all Vastods except Stark, but if he showed up, he would be at risk of being affected by Aizen's mirror image.
Therefore, after a tentative battle, both sides retreated.
"It's a pity that I couldn't kill him, but since there's no disturbance in Soul Society right now, does that mean he still has his own ideas?"
Lu Li pondered, he could probably guess what the Soul Singer was thinking, which was that there was no need to take the high risk of fighting Aizen to the death in Hueco Mundo.
Anyway, as long as he comes back and spreads the news, Soul Society will naturally deal with Aizen's problem, but for now it seems that Sosuke is still having a good dinner with him.
"No, although he did not meet with the captain-general, Kenpachi Zaraki has already reported the matter to the Central Forty-Sixth Office."
Aizen shook his head.
"What!? Is it really okay for us to eat and chat here?"
Lu Li felt that Sosuke was too calm.
"Don't worry about this for now. Kenpachi Zaraki himself couldn't explain why he followed me to Hueco Mundo, let alone how he opened the Black Chamber. He himself had his own secrets, so he didn't dare to meet the captain-general. He just used his special channels as a noble to covertly report the news to the Forty-Sixth Chamber."
Aizen explained, "And I actually returned to Soul Society this morning. Wouldn't you think that I didn't do anything today, Mr. Lu?"
Lu Li laughed loudly upon hearing this, "Sosuke, you are really so bold."
"I was originally prepared to do this in order to get you back, but I didn't expect that such a small mistake would occur, forcing me to go to Room 46."
Aizen said calmly, "Yes, I hypnotized everyone in the Central Forty-Six Rooms. They don't know that I have been to Hueco Mundo yet."
"Jinghua Shuiyue's complete hypnosis is truly a magical skill, but isn't there a safety risk?"
Lu Li sighed and said that Aizen's move could only be regarded as a stopgap measure, which could delay the situation temporarily but not forever.
Kenpachi Zaraki himself is doing shameful things in secret, and his game with Aizen will not be brought to the surface, but the Soul Singer will definitely not give up on exposing this matter. He will definitely give Kenpachi Zaraki advice behind the scenes and continue to push Aizen to the edge of the cliff.
"According to my estimation, if the other party is not an idiot, they should come up with a new way to deal with me within this month. By then, you, Mr. Lu, will most likely be dragged into it."
Aizen said this and began to clean up the table leisurely. There were soldiers outside urging them to collect the plates.
There was nothing to be ashamed of in their words, because he had placed a special restriction in this room, and after activating it with his spiritual pressure, only sounds from outside could come in, and their voices would not be heard outside.
Lu Li sat up straight, put one hand on the handle of the Demon Prisoner, and grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth: "Then there is no other way. We can only kill Kenpachi Zaraki first."
"It seems that Lu Jun has improved a lot recently. He was chased and beaten by that Quincy before. Zaraki Kenpachi is an opponent that I can't handle."
When Aizen finished speaking, he opened the door, handed the plate to the soldier outside, and showed his signature smile, "Thank you for your help, Tanaka-kun."
The soldier collecting the plates seemed to be energized. He stood at attention and said, "It is my honor to help Vice Captain Aizen!"
After sending the plate away, Aizen closed the door again and saw Lu Li looking at him with an amused look.
"Sosuke, you are very popular."
Lu Li said in a teasing tone.
"You're still in the mood to tease me? Why don't you tell me how to deal with Kenpachi Zaraki?"
Aizen sat down again, wanting to hear what strategies this reckless man Lu Li could come up with.
"This shouldn't be difficult, right? Isn't Soul Society going to attack the human world? It should be within this month, right? When the war starts, everything will be in chaos, and we can take advantage of the chaos to find an opportunity to kill him."
Lu Li proposed a simple idea, "I heard that Captain Zaraki is a radical who wants to annihilate all the Hollows. If we leave an opening in Hueco Mundo at that time, will he take this opportunity to attack Hueco Mundo?"
Aizen was silent for two seconds after hearing this. "From Mr. Lu's perspective, this is a good suggestion, but there are too many details involved. Let me think about it."
He actually considered finding a way to kill Kenpachi Zaraki during the chaos of the battle, but the opponent's ability restrained his Kyouka Suigetsu, and his spiritual pressure could not be said to be able to completely destroy Kenpachi Zaraki head-on.
According to his analysis of Kenpachi Zaraki's Zanpakuto abilities, it would probably be difficult to actually kill Kenpachi Zaraki.
On the contrary, if Lu Jun's spiritual pressure strength was a little higher, not to mention his level, but if he could reach the level of Vastrode, it would be enough to truly threaten Kenpachi Zaraki's life.
"What do you mean, from my perspective... Never mind, Sosuke, you are definitely better at thinking of strategies than I am."
Lu Li spread his hands and decided to give the decision-making power to Sosuke. He would only be responsible for taking action at the critical moment.
To be honest, he was also very interested in fighting against a strong man like Kenpachi Zaraki.
With his current strength, it would be difficult to beat him, but if he could learn Bankai, then both Zaraki Fuuya and the Soul Singer would not be a problem.
Sosuke's Kyoka Suigetsu is an excellent battlefield cover ability. As long as the situation is chaotic enough, he can create an opportunity for himself to escape from the main battlefield and fight to the death with Kenpachi Zaraki and others.
Lu Li felt that the Soul Singer might also be thinking about how to fight him one-on-one, and it would probably end up with them fighting each other, with Aizen and Kenpachi Zaraki competing with each other.
At that time, whoever wins first between him and the soul singer will decide the outcome of the battle on the other side.
According to the general survival principle of the explorer, when he can use the power, it is of course best to directly eliminate the Soul Singer.
According to Lu Li's personal martial arts principles, he would rather use his own strength to kill the Soul Singer with his own hands.
"Mr. Lu, I do have a few plans to deal with the current deadlock, but if you want to break it, you need to master new powers."
Aizen said, "I have a new idea about your power increase."
"Oh? Are there any quick methods other than the Divine Body Transformation?"
Lu Li asked with interest.
Aizen shook his head. "Lu Jun, your Bankai is too dangerous. I suggest you develop it step by step. The power I'm talking about is the...hollowification of the god of death."
