Chapter 111

"Aizen my lord…"

"The Espada have assembled."

Ichimaru Gin stood beneath the Wang Zuo, and behind him were the Espada he had gathered.

Inside.

Aside from Coyote Starrk and Ulquiorra, the other Espada members had all been transformed from Menos Grande by Aizen using the Hōgyoku!

After they obtained the power of a Shinigami.

In their everyday appearance, aside from a portion of their bodies bearing a bone mask, the rest looked no different from a Shinigami in any way!

Their own strength had also broken through its former limits! Reaching an extremely high level!

Every single Espada member.

Was comparable to a captain-level powerhouse!

Moreover, the top three of the Espada, even among captain-level fighters, were considered the very best!

These were the first batch of subordinates Aizen had taken upon coming to Hueco Mundo!

Ichimaru Gin squinted as he looked up at Aizen above, his fists unconsciously clenching.

Before.

What a fine opportunity it had been.

But.

Kuchiki Senya — no one knew what he was thinking — even with such power, had failed to finish Aizen off completely!

If.

He had come to Hueco Mundo to pursue and kill Aizen, then Aizen Sōsuke would likely already be a corpse beneath a blade by now!

If Aizen were given the chance to fuse with the Hōgyoku, then from now on, even if Kuchiki Senya himself took action, he might not necessarily be Aizen's match!

Above.

Aizen's body leaned casually against the Wang Zuo, and every move Ichimaru Gin made below was taken in completely.

After the battle in Soul Society.

His left ear had permanently lost its hearing, and Las Noches had also been cleanly split in two with a single slash!

However.

Aizen's expression did not waver in the slightest; a pair of eyes like a cold pool, impossible for anyone to see through.

Now.

He was keeping Ichimaru Gin around.

Only out of curiosity — what method Ichimaru Gin would ultimately use to kill him.

And.

As a man of great ambition.

All sorts of trivial feelings had been cast out of his mind.

Kuchiki Senya letting him off the hook was absolutely not some act of cowardice or bending the law for personal reasons!

The only explanation.

Was that Kuchiki Senya was not loyal to the Soul King!

He wanted to borrow Aizen's hand to completely eradicate the Soul King Palace!

"In that case, being used by you is not an unacceptable thing." Aizen's lips curved into a faint smile.

He seemed not to care in the slightest that Kuchiki Senya had already turned him into a mere chess piece.

"Aizen my lord, these are all the images from Soul Society!"

Below.

The Fourth Espada, Ulquiorra — before him, a light screen repeatedly played back the various encounters of Kurosaki Ichigo and his group after entering Soul Society.

However.

As for images of Aizen, Kuchiki Senya, and the subsequent great battle, they were absolute top secrets to Soul Society, and even Hueco Mundo could not ferret them out!

And the images of Kuchiki Senya fighting Inoue Orihime, Shi Tianyu, and Kurosaki Ichigo had also all vanished without a trace.

However.

Even so.

It was enough.

After watching for a while, Aizen's eyes narrowed; his gaze settled on a woman with orange-red hair, a rather well-endowed figure, looking like a student, and the corner of his mouth lifted slightly.

It's just that.

There was not the slightest warmth in those eyes.

"Shun Shun Rikka — this is a power capable of defiling the gods."

"It will also be of great help in restoring the Hōgyoku."

Aizen's finger pointed at the image of Inoue Orihime as he looked down at the Espada below.

"I want her!"

The next moment.

The Fourth Espada, Ulquiorra.

The Tenth Espada, Yammy — the two of them, left Las Noches and passed through a Garganta to head for the World of the Living!

……

At this moment.

The World of the Living, Senya Entertainment City.

Kuchiki Senya looked at the student girl before him — careful and cautious, with orange-red hair and a figure that seemed about to burst out — and lazily took a sip of wine.

"Lord Senya, I don't have the money to pay you back for now. May I work here to repay the debt?"

Inoue Orihime's face was uneasy and anxious.

One had to know.

The man before him possessed combat power on the level of a Head Captain.

She had broken something in his house, and the compensation was one million rings!

Even if she sold herself, she couldn't afford it!

And Shi Tianyu, her father, had sold off most of the family assets just to pay off that one million rings in full!

"Sure, the wages here are very generous. You only need to work for a hundred years, and you can clear your debt!" Hisana said with a beaming smile.

"What? A hundred years!" Inoue Orihime's eyes went wide!

A hundred years.

She would probably already be dead by then — what could she possibly use to repay the debt!

"Don't worry. Even after you die, your soul will go to Soul Society, and you can keep working for the Kuchiki household, okay?"

Hisana still wore a smile on her face, though she looked a bit cunning and scheming.

Above.

Kuchiki Senya also nodded lightly. Leaving all the management to Hisana was fine — he could be an absentee boss with peace of mind.

However.

The next moment.

Kuchiki Senya lazily raised his head and gently swirled the wine glass.

Senya Entertainment City was still teeming with crowds. Whether humans of the present world, or Shinigami of Soul Society, Senya Entertainment City was their top entertainment venue.

However.

Today.

Two uninvited guests had actually shown up.

071. He only made a slight move, and it was already the Espada's limit

"Lord Senya…"

Not long after.

Inoue Orihime, Rukia, and Hisana all sensed those two unusual auras.

Frowning, they looked out the window.
