Chapter 4412: The Sorrow and Awakening of the Dragon God Dou Luo, Master Mu

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "!!!!"

Tony Isn't the Richest: "...... This is truly shocking."

Funny

Gao Ban realm: "But from your expression, there's not a trace of shock."

Gao Ban realm: "And if I recall correctly, you were deeply focused on Aizen back in your early days—only after he broke through the First Class did you finally settle down."

Gao Ban realm: "But I still think you've been keeping tabs on Aizen all along! Maybe... you know more about Aizen and his situation than Hei Qi Yihu does."

Perhaps you've even developed a full countermeasure scheme behind the scenes..."

Gao Ban realm's expression was extremely serious.

Sakata Gintoki: "...... Why does it always feel like Gao Ban realm's words carry some strange sense of déjà vu?"

Sakata Gintoki fell into deep thought.

Yukinoshita Yukino: "Remind you—Counterweight Armor."

Sakata Gintoki: "!!!!"

Alright... he'd almost forgotten about that.

But then, Sakata Gintoki also realized: what he'd been puzzling over wasn't entirely Tony Stark's early habit of constantly developing counter-armor.

He was mainly remembering Batman.

Aizen Sōjirō: "If I don't pop up again, my reputation will be utterly ruined by you lot."

Aizen Sōjirō was half-laughing, half-sighing; he adjusted his glasses and spoke calmly within the society.

Aizen Sōjirō: "Actually, the reason I'm not causing trouble in the society anymore—I've already explained it long ago."

It's simply because I've achieved my dream."

I've gained power strong enough—second only to the President... Under these circumstances, what reason do I have to do evil?"

Kayaba Akihiko: "...... Similar to my situation?"

Kayaba Akihiko pondered deeply.

He too had once been an enemy of humanity, but after joining the society, he naturally fulfilled his dream—and lost the will to carry out his original plan.

Indeed! As for me and Aizen... perhaps at first I truly intended to observe him, even to contain him—but now, I've completely let go of that mindset.

Aizen is currently... a relatively harmless entity."

Aizen Sōjirō: "Ara ara, even after I've gone to such lengths to help you, you still see me as a 'relatively harmless' entity?"

Aizen's eyes flickered, their light complex, yet tinged with amusement.

"If I said you were trustworthy... that would be strange, wouldn't it?"

He shot back without mercy.

Aizen Sōjirō: "......"

Aizen was momentarily speechless, then let out a silent laugh.

True enough—the only person who dares say he's completely harmless, and whom the society's members are willing to believe... is surely the President.

After all, the President's power is so immense that reading his inner thoughts and seeing what lies in his future... is perfectly normal.

Though Wisdom is hailed as the society's top intellect, Aizen's wit is no less sharp.

Deep-thinking individuals like them simply cannot fully unravel each other's intentions—who dares guarantee anything? Lelouch: "...... Since you say so."

Lelouch nodded thoughtfully; as one of the society's top strategists, he trusted Aizen's words.

Hei Qi Yihu: "......"
