At this moment, the Shinigami were all speechless while observing the Three Realms Projection. The relationship between Hinamori Momo and Aizen was truly too intimate.
Was Aizen really so charming?
Well... if they set aside Aizen's enemy status... Aizen was indeed extraordinarily charismatic! Calling him Ichigo Kurosaki's father wouldn't be problematic—he was handsome and possessed a domineering leadership presence!
Even his "son" Ichigo Kurosaki's actions left the Shinigami unable to find fault.
Without Aizen's existence, Ichigo Kurosaki probably would never have been born. Future Soul Society would lack a savior! Fighting Yhwach would be even more unrealistic!
In this regard, they truly had to thank Aizen. No matter how displeased they felt, they had to endure it and continue watching Aizen's videos!
Of course, they could only voice these thoughts internally. Regardless of their gratitude toward Aizen, they couldn't speak it aloud, lest Soul Society suffer further embarrassment.
While everyone conversed, the scene shifted to the next sequence.
[Upon a pristine white tower, a shocking and spectacular scene suddenly appeared!
Aizen Sosuke, who had been alive and well in the previous scene, was now pinned to the wall by a black blade!
Aizen's blood flowed downward, staining the entire white tower crimson. His eyes appeared vacant, as if he had lost all life.
Upon witnessing this scene, Hinamori Momo, Vice-Captain of the 5th Division, screamed:
"Captain Aizen!"
Subsequently, countless Shinigami arrived at the location, equally shocked to discover Aizen's apparent death.
The Captain of the 5th Division, Aizen Sosuke, had been killed? Who could have done such a thing?]
Of course, audiences familiar with the plot understood perfectly that this was merely Aizen's staged death.
[Hitsugaya Toshiro]: Hmph, Aizen finally has an embarrassing scene. I wonder how you feel witnessing this moment now.
[Matsumoto Rangiku]: It's truly ridiculous to feign death for one's own purposes.
[Ulquiorra Cifer]: Hmph, yet you Shinigami still cannot perceive this as merely Lord Aizen's illusion? You are the ones who should feel shame.
[Gerard Valkyrie]: It's simply a farce among the Shinigami—child's play.
[Lille Barro]: Aizen is a sneaky individual, merely a rat who hides and dodges. We haven't seen him appear in any Quincy battles later. I suspect he's useless.
[Tosen Kaname]: Hmph, you Quincy have been lurking for a thousand years—aren't you more like sneaky rats? In terms of underhanded tactics, who can compare to your Yhwach?
[Tier Harribel]: I don't know how Yhwach's battle against the Shinigami proceeded, but he pretended to be defeated by Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni. That makes him the superior actor at feigning death!
[Jugram Haschwalth]: Hmph, watch your words. Insulting His Majesty is punishable by death!
[Äs Nödt]: In the future, we Quincy will destroy Soul Society openly! You weaklings are the most ridiculous!
At this moment, the Shinigami and Quincy began their daily quarrel.
[The scene transitioned to other characters.
Hitsugaya Toshiro and Matsumoto Rangiku seemed to sense something was amiss. They used every method to open the doors to Central 46, only to discover that all the members had been slaughtered.
They were both stunned and incredulous.
Shinigami were never permitted to enter and exit this place freely. It was composed of forty sages and six judges, representing Soul Society's highest judicial authority.
Whether dealing with offenses in the World of the Living or Soul Society, everything required judgment by Central 46. Even Captain-Commander Yamamoto could not object to their decisions! They wielded tremendous influence within the Gotei 13.
However, these corrupt individuals had always been unsympathetic, stubborn, rigid old relics—an unpopular organization...
Both Hitsugaya Toshiro and Matsumoto Rangiku were shocked. Based on the long-dried bloodstains, they realized the deaths had occurred some time ago!
Who... had done this?]
Simultaneously, the bloody scene before them moved audiences deeply. Especially the current new Central 46.
They couldn't help but tremble. Many possessed family members from the former Central 46. Contemplating such a tragic situation, they despised Aizen to their very core while fearing such scenes might occur again!
Additionally, in previous videos, they had heard that Aizen might still be in Soul Society and had battled Yhwach—this made them shudder involuntarily! They even had to question...
Had Aizen come specifically to confront them again? To slaughter them once more?
Therefore, they were most unwilling to allow Aizen's return to Soul Society, or worse, for him to become Soul Society's ruler.
They had been watching the future videos while trembling constantly! Whether Yhwach ruled Soul Society or Aizen controlled it, they would face dire consequences!
Aizen desired Soul Society's reformation so intensely—they would definitely become obstacles he'd be forced to eliminate!
[Tier Harribel]: Lord Aizen's massacre was excellent. Those corrupt individuals deserved complete extermination.
[Tosen Kaname]: Well executed! This represents our Lord Aizen's embodiment of justice! Even if a new Central 46 is elected, we won't spare them easily.
[Ulquiorra Cifer]: Indeed, the Shinigami remain remarkably silent. Especially those in the new Central 46—they must be keeping extremely quiet, correct?
[Coyote Starrk]: I imagine they're wondering if Lord Aizen will return to finish what he started.
[Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez]: Hah! Those old fools probably deserved what they got.
[Nnoitra Gilga]: Maybe next time Lord Aizen will be more thorough.
[Yammy Llargo]: Central 46 sounds like a bunch of weaklings anyway.
[Kurotsuchi Mayuri]: Their deaths were regrettable from a research perspective—so much bureaucratic brain matter wasted.
[Unohana Retsu]: The taking of life is always tragic, regardless of circumstances.
[Kyoraku Shunsui]: Though their methods were often questionable, they maintained order for centuries.
[Ukitake Jūshirō]: Such violence should never be the solution to institutional problems.
[Byakuya Kuchiki]: Their rigid adherence to law, while frustrating, served a purpose.
[Komamura Sajin]: Justice achieved through massacre is no justice at all.
[Hitsugaya Toshiro]: Discovering their bodies... it was like walking into a nightmare.
[Matsumoto Rangiku]: The smell of dried blood still haunts my memories.
[Ikkaku Madarame]: At least they died quickly—probably didn't suffer much.
[Yumichika Ayasegawa]: Though their deaths were tragic, one must admit Aizen's efficiency was remarkable.
[Aizen Sosuke]: I acted only as necessary to achieve my goals. Sentiment had no place in such decisions.
[Gin Ichimaru]: Captain Aizen was always thorough in his planning.
[Hinamori Momo]: I... I can't believe Captain Aizen could do such things.
The current Central 46 members watching this exchange fell into even deeper silence, their fears growing with each comment. The implications were clear—whether Aizen returned as friend or foe, their positions remained precarious.
Would history repeat itself? Would they face the same fate as their predecessors?
The uncertainty was perhaps more terrifying than any direct threat.
