"Your finest creations? You mean those captains with hollows in their bodies?", Rosse laughed softly and looked at Aizen as he asked.
Those so-called finest creations were nothing more than defective products.
When he arrived in the living world, with his Observation Haki layered together with his spiritual pressure sensing, he had already detected those people and Urahara Kisuke's hiding place.
Using a kido barrier to conceal them was indeed a good method, but it only worked against ordinary spiritual sensing. Under Observation Haki, a kido barrier stood out like a lantern in the dark.
"Correct. Compared to before, their strength has increased by at least a small tier," Aizen smiled. He did not think his creations had any problems.
Although during the hollowfication those captains had lost consciousness, and although the restoration of their consciousness was due in part to Urahara's help.
In Aizen's view, anything Urahara could do, he could do as well.
"Their strength has increased one step, but your thinking is wrong from the foundation. Or rather, you never planned to put effort into them. You only wanted to confirm a possibility," Rosse shook his head and pointed out Aizen's flaw.
It was not that Aizen's thinking was limited, but that in Aizen's eyes, everyone except himself was a bug.
And since they were bugs, they were merely experimental subjects, not worthy of the best treatment.
With that mindset driving him, every experiment Aizen conducted was aimed at verifying viability. Strength enhancement was only a side effect.
"You are correct," Aizen's eyes showed joy. The more he interacted with Rosse, the more he truly recognized him.
Not only were they kindred spirits, he felt understood.
In this world, the rarest thing was finding someone who could understand you. [T/N: Creeps!]
And Rosse, in Aizen's mind, was someone who could be a true confidant.
It was a pity that both of them walked paths destined for loneliness, and only one person could reach the end.
But to kill such a person with his own hands, or be killed by such a person… either outcome was exhilarating.
"I indeed didn't put much effort into them. Otherwise I wouldn't have chosen a few ordinary Adjuchas. At least I would have planted a few special Adjuchas inside them."
His previous experiment was simply stuffing hollows into shinigami bodies and letting the two fuse on their own.
Through repeated experiments, he discovered that only shinigami with vice-captain-level spiritual pressure or higher could withstand hollow power.
The hollowfied captains had confirmed this discovery.
"If it were me, I wouldn't choose whole hollows. I would break the hollow power apart and inject it into the spirit body, making the hollow power capable of growth," Rosse said with a smile.
"Lord Rosse, your target is that Quincy woman with the surname Kurosaki?", Aizen only needed a moment to realize Rosse's goal.
Kurosaki Masaki. During one of his earlier experiments, after his special hollow experiment body was destroyed by Shiba Isshin, part of it merged into Kurosaki Masaki's body.
And after Masaki had her child, most of that hollow's power was transferred into the newborn, leaving behind only a seed-like remnant within Masaki.
According to Rosse's explanation, Masaki was the best experimental subject.
And the key point: Kurosaki Masaki herself was a Quincy.
Which meant she now possessed both Quincy and hollow power.
"Good guess. So, what do you plan to do?"
Rosse smiled slightly and snapped his fingers.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Instantly, three massive Garganta tore open inside the abandoned factory.
Three figures wearing the uniforms of Las Noches stepped out slowly.
Harribel, Starrk, Ulquiorra.
For this plan, Rosse had sent three top-tier palace-level combatants all at once.
"Lord Rosse, I don't intend to do anything," Aizen chuckled and stepped back two steps, avoiding the spiritual-pressure lock from Harribel's group.
Forget three Arrancar not far weaker than him, Rosse alone was enough to prevent him from acting rashly.
From the very start, he had never considered Masaki as part of his own interests.
So whatever Rosse planned to do had nothing to do with him.
The ones who should be worried were Urahara Kisuke and Shiba Isshin.
Isshin had already lost his shinigami powers fighting that special hollow experiment.
Faced with Rosse's luxurious lineup, even without Rosse personally acting, they had no chance.
Aizen even felt that Rosse sending three palace-class Arrancar was overkill.
"Ulquiorra, watch this warehouse. If Tsuneyashiro Tokikawa escapes control, kill him immediately," Rosse looked at Ulquiorra and, without hiding it from Aizen at all, gave the first order.
Although this place was arranged by Aizen and there should be no problems, Rosse still preferred to control everything himself.
Aizen's arrangements were never as reliable as his own.
"Understood, Lord Rosse."
Ulquiorra nodded coldly and stood silently beside Tokikawa.
He was the perfect executor. Whatever order Rosse gave, he would fulfill flawlessly.
He had been living comfortably in Las Noches lately, and his acceptance of Rosse was extremely high.
Serving someone like this might finally give him a sense of meaning.
"Lord Rosse, what about us? Do we get to fight big this time?", Lilynette jumped excitedly in front of Rosse.
She and Starrk were two bodies of one soul. After releasing their Resurreccion, they would merge, so naturally they acted together.
Compared to Lilynette's boundless enthusiasm, Starrk was much lazier.
But when Rosse looked at him, his eyes became slightly more serious.
This mission concerned a new companion, so he was willing to give his all.
"You two will watch one location. If the people there move, stop them," Rosse smiled and pointed in the direction of the hollowfied captains.
In a few days, it would be the moment Yhwach activated Auswahlen. He did not want any accidents.
He would never place his hopes on Aizen.
And as for his own spiritual pressure, he would avoid revealing it as much as possible this time.
Of course, he wasn't going to leave Aizen unused. Such a good piece of combat power would be a waste not to take advantage of.
"Got it, leave it to us!", Lilynette grinned and agreed happily.
She didn't think the living world had any strong opponents. With her and Starrk, they could block anyone easily.
