Chapter 342 The Ideals of Both Sides
Chapter 342 The Ideals of Both Sides
After listening to what Aizen said, Lu Li exclaimed in his heart, Wow, Sosuke, you really have a serious case of chuunibyou.
However, after the other party's in-depth and easy-to-understand analysis, he also felt that what the other party said made sense. If the world was more stable, then all kinds of things that seemed unreasonable to them would not happen.
After hearing what Sosuke said, Lu Li suddenly understood why so many people in the original work were willing to follow him. It was not only because of his strength and personal charm, but also because his ideals were grand and positive.
Especially for someone like Xiang Tosen, he wanted to take revenge on the nobles of Soul Society and break the unfair system. In addition, Aizen saved him, so wouldn't he be willing to work for him wholeheartedly?
"So, Sosuke, you want to become the new king of the three realms to correct these mistakes?"
Lu Li asked in summary.
"That's about right. You can understand it that way, but the actual implementation is certainly quite complicated. And I didn't have such a lofty goal at first. It's just that when I was exploring history, I was a little unhappy with the will of the Soul King."
Aizen explained.
Lu Li listened thoughtfully, he knew that Sosuke had misunderstood, the current situation of Soul Society, including the system of nobility, were not determined by the Soul King, and the Soul King had no intention of leading the affairs of Soul Society.
In essence, the Soul King is just a victim. He has been cut into a human stick. How can he influence the affairs of Soul Society?
In the end, the Soul King was nothing more than a tool to stabilize the world, and was not even considered a human being by the nobles, let alone a noble king.
I'm sure Sosuke would be very disappointed if he knew about this, but that would not affect his determination to become the king of the world.
After all, facts have proven that the Three Realms today are indeed unstable, with many unreasonable aspects that need to be repaired and corrected.
But to be honest, Lu Li felt that it would be quite difficult for Aizen to accomplish this, and it had nothing to do with combat power.
Even if Sosuke is strong enough to kill all enemies including the future Yhwach, it is hard to say that he can do what even the former Soul King could not do, because in this world, the Soul King represents the ceiling.
Without a power that escapes or a special external force, it is still very difficult to create a better world than the one created by the Soul King.
"Sosuke, what if the Soul King is not who you think he is?"
Lu Li said after hesitating for a moment.
"What does Lu Jun mean?"
Aizen was somewhat curious about Lu Li's attitude.
"Based on some ancient traces I found in Hueco Mundo, combined with my understanding of the five great nobles, I suspect that the Soul King has no independent consciousness at all. He is not the noble king of Soul Society. He may just be a prisoner whose freedom is restricted, used as a wedge to stabilize the three realms."
After some thought, Lu Li decided to tell the truth he had learned. Although it was difficult for him to explain the detailed source of the information, if Sosuke was willing to believe him, he would have the advantage of having the leading version of the intelligence.
After hearing what Lu Li said, Aizen hesitated for a moment, "Mr. Lu, is your 'speculation' reliable?"
“Quite reliable.”
Lu Li said with a serious expression.
"Then I will assume that this information is true."
Aizen said, "In this case, things are really a bit troublesome. Doesn't this mean that the Soul King has not only devoted himself to the cause, but has also been used to the greatest extent, but has still failed to create the perfect Three Realms?"
Lu Li discovered that Sosuke's train of thought was indeed unusual. The first thing he thought about was not the question of whether he had independent consciousness or not. He put his personal likes and dislikes aside and directly thought about the feasibility of the ultimate goal.
“That’s right, so Sosuke, are you confident that you can surpass the Soul King?”
Lu Li asked with a smile.
Aizen also smiled and met Lu Li's eyes. "Mr. Lu, no one stands in heaven from the beginning, neither you nor me, not even the Spirit King. If he can do it, why can't we do it? No, we will do better."
Lu Li laughed out loud upon hearing this, "Sosuke, you are worthy of being me. In this case... I will do my best to help you achieve your dream."
"What about Mr. Lu's ideal?"
Aizen asked back with a smile.
"I?"
Lu Li grinned, "Of course I hope that there will be endless enemies to fight on the road ahead."
"It really seems like your character."
Aizen sighed, picking up the now cold teacup, "Then I wish our plan goes well."
In the small room, the two people's teacups clinked together, making a crisp sound.
"Ah, Sosuke, I'm hungry. Why isn't your cook at work today?"
"Mr. Lu... Pingzi also knows how to check the accounts, so take your time eating."
…………
"So, why are you here too?"
Lu Li was in the first squad's barn, looking at the woman he met by chance, feeling a little puzzled.
"Why can't I be here?"
Mandala also changed his attire in Soul Society. His outer garments became those of a Shinigami costume, his main weapon, the bayonet, was inserted into a special sheath, and his hair, which was usually tied up, was spread out and laid flat on his back like a waterfall.
But she was still wearing a mask, not revealing her face. The style of the mask seemed to be in line with the trend of Soul Society. The pattern on it looked like a skull, a bit like the lower half of a Hollow mask.
Mandala's narrow eyes looked Lu Li up and down, and paused for a moment on the sword on Lu Li's waist. "Prisoner Demon, your name is really easy to understand. So you must have been here a long time ago, so you named it this way?"
Because her words can only be understood by people in the same space, there is no violation.
Lu Li used his reconnaissance skills to look at Mandragora's attributes, "I'm actually quite surprised to see you here."
For some reason, Mandragora felt offended. In fact, it was because she took the world positioning props given by the seniors in the group. She made a lot of money in the last world, and the attribute improvement was outrageous. She thought she could completely defeat the prisoner demon.
As a result, when they met in the world of death this time, she found that although it was like that on the surface, in fact, the prisoner's explosive ability was so outrageous that she was even more confused.
"I have my own mission, so I won't talk to you any more." Mandala said as he walked out the door. When he passed by Lu Li, he whispered, "Be careful of the bloody rain in the world."
Lu Li looked at Mandragora walking away, feeling somewhat surprised. He had never heard of the name Blood Rain, but if Mandragora wanted to remind him, shouldn’t he say Soul Singer?
No matter how you look at it, the Soul Singer is the biggest one in the Heavenly Dao Space. He also possesses a spirit seed and is not low-key in this world. When he caused a big fuss in the Hueco Mundo, many explorers of the Chaos Space should have seen it, and the news would naturally be spread to the outside world.
Lu Li memorized the name and was about to go out to the Fourth Squad to practice daily Kaido and work part-time to earn some rings.
"Boy, come here."
As a result, Lu Li was stopped as soon as he stepped through the door.
"Captain."
Lu Li saluted as he turned around. He didn't expect that the captain would have time to visit the soldiers' residence today.
"I heard from Chojiro that you barely stayed in the barracks this week."
The captain looked Lu Li up and down, sensing the changes in Lu Li's spiritual pressure, "Let me check your homework."
A smile appeared on Lu Li's face, "That's great."
…………
In this world, somewhere in the land where the master clan was annihilated.
The leaders of the various Quincy families were arguing fiercely, and the atmosphere was full of tension.
"Those Shinigami in Soul Society are going too far. They're forcing us like this. Do they really think we, the Quincies, are easy to bully?!"
"Eight hundred years ago, the Death Gods used all means to defeat our ancestors, and today they want to kill us all. I will fight them to the death!"
"The Shinigami are extremely inefficient. It is us Quincies who are truly protecting the living world. We are also killing Hollows to protect humans. Why are they superior to us and why do they want to expel and kill us?"
"Heh, the Death Gods have no intention of protecting humans. They are just protecting the Three Realms in the name of justice. The only ones who are truly protecting humans are us Quincy."
"The real war is coming. Now that our family has many talented people, we are not necessarily afraid of the God of Death. The worst that can happen is that both sides will be destroyed."
"The Gotei 13 only have 13 captains. For the sake of defense, they can't all come out. At most, ten captains will come to the human world. In my opinion, except for that old man Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, the others are not worth worrying about."
"Indeed, but Yamamoto once defeated our ancestor..."
"What are you talking about!? If Yamamoto hadn't led the first generation of the Gotei 13 to do whatever it took, how could they have defeated our ancestor!? Besides, our ancestor has not been defeated yet. According to legend, he will eventually regain his power and revive!"
"But that will be two hundred years later... The God of Death is about to attack the human world now, and the Ancestor can't help us..."
"Humph, I'm not afraid of the God of Death. We Quincy have been revived after eight hundred years of development. As long as we get rid of Yamamoto, the other God of Death won't be a problem."
"I think this battle is still very dangerous. Should we contact Hasward..."
"You can go if you want. I won't go looking for him again. Since they are willing to live in the shadows, let them go. We have nothing to do with each other anymore."
"Don't say such harsh words. We are all children of the First Ancestor. Haschwalth and the others just want to be loyal to the First Ancestor. Although we have chosen different paths, we are all Quincy after all."
"What do you mean they are all Quincy after all? Are Quincys who don't hunt Hollows still called Quincys? Who is protecting the real world now? Is it Haschwalth and the others, or us?"
"Now that I think about it, Haschwalth should have a more prudent consideration. He may think that the current strength of the Quincies is not enough to fight against Soul Society, so he has to wait for His Majesty to revive?"
"Hey, what are you talking about? Are you still with Haschwalth? Why don't you go back?"
"..."
In the conference room, a group of old men were arguing fiercely. Some were relatively stable, while others had bad tempers. As they discussed with each other, their anger grew increasingly intense.
The oppressive feeling of the approaching death made everyone anxious. Although most of the people present were full of energy, no one could deny that eight hundred years ago, it was they, the Quincy, who were defeated.
Even the strongest Quincy founder, Yhwach, was defeated by Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni. Who dares to question his status as the number one Death God in thousands of years?
Now that Yhwach is in deep sleep, the Quincies are leaderless. They left the Invisible Empire because of a disagreement with Haschwalth. Now they are asked to flee back with their tails between their legs. Not to mention that Haschwalth would never agree to something that would risk revealing the Invisible Empire, their self-esteem would never allow it.
Just as many of them said, the combat power of the Quincy camp is not weak now. They can at least put out 20 to 30 captain-level fighters. In terms of average combat power, even if we don't add the forces of the Invisible Empire, just talking about the present world, the Quincy is stronger.
But the problem is that Captain Yamamoto, the most powerful god of death, has too much reputation. Even Yhwach has been defeated by him. How can they dare to claim victory so easily?
"Everyone, please be patient."
At this time, the silver-haired old man sitting at the inside of the conference table spoke. He had an old face, but his eyes were bright, his back was straight, and he had a heavy sense of majesty.
As soon as the old man opened his mouth, the scene fell silent. It was obvious that among the many Quincies, he was one of the strongest and his family background was very strong.
Among the Quincy families that left the Invisible Empire, three families are the strongest, namely the Ishida family, the Miller family, and the Hoffman family.
The Ishida family is a native Quincy family in Neon, and the other two families originally came from the German area. They followed Yhwach when he conquered the world and established the vast Empire of Light. Now, because of differences of opinion with Haschworth, they left the Invisible Empire together.
The old man who spoke at this time was named Adolf Miller, the current patriarch of the Miller family. He was an old Quincy who had participated in the war a thousand years ago. In terms of age and seniority, he was actually older than Haschwalth in the Invisible Empire.
However, due to his limited talent, he did not receive the same attention and favor from Youhabach as Haschwald did, and belonged to a faction with sufficient qualifications but not so close relations.
He has a certain degree of loyalty to Youhabach, but that is based on Youhabach's strength. Now that Youhabach is asleep, they can no longer rely on him, so naturally he can only rely on himself to lead the family to rise again.
"Captain Yamamoto is indeed a huge threat, but there are ways to limit him."
Adolf said, "I have already started to deal with this matter."
"Oh? Mr. Miller, are you sure you can handle Yamamoto?"
The patriarch of the Hoffman family was a middle-aged man who became somewhat excited upon hearing this.
"Deal with him? Even the original founder failed to defeat Yamamoto, so how can we deal with him? I just have the means to restrict him, so that he can't display his strength on the battlefield."
Adolf said, "During the time that Captain Yamamoto is sealed, we only need to kill all the other Death Gods to win the war."
