In the chat group, facing Aizen's insufferable smugness, the Shinigami found themselves thoroughly uncomfortable with his paternal proclamations.
[Shihouin Yoruichi]: Don't get too complacent, Aizen. At most, you've barely earned the qualification to atone for your past crimes. Protecting Soul Society should be considered your final mission—nothing more!
[Unohana Retsu]: I sincerely hope you don't end up humiliating yourself. If you actually succeed in protecting Soul Society, I might grudgingly acknowledge your efforts.
[Gerard]: Hmph! You Shinigami are celebrating prematurely. He's merely someone with a modicum of skill. He poses no significant threat to us whatsoever. At best, we can grant you all a beautiful death—there's no possibility of altering the war's outcome.
[Lille Barro]: Precisely. His Majesty is definitely not someone your Aizen could hope to challenge. It's laughable that a mere prisoner has the audacity to think he can stand against our sovereign!
[Pernida]: Although his current power appears formidable... under these sealed conditions, he could at most engage a few members of our Royal Guard in combat. He lacks the qualifications to face His Majesty directly. I could defeat Aizen with one hand.
The Quincy remained supremely confident in their ultimate victory! They genuinely believed that Aizen was incapable of turning the tide of battle in any meaningful way.
Moreover, several Quincy had begun analyzing the current tactical situation with disturbing clarity.
[Jugram Haschwalth]: If I'm not mistaken, Soul Society itself appears to be trembling! Even from this underground prison, I can sense faint vibrations throughout the realm...
[Yhwach]: From this evidence, it's clear that Soul Society stands on the very brink of destruction at this moment.
[Yhwach]: By this point in the timeline, I should have already conquered Soul Society and begun the process of devouring the Soul King. The end of your realm approaches with absolute certainty—there are no other possibilities.
[Yhwach]: I won't even need to act personally. The Soul King's corrupted spiritual pressure alone will prove sufficient to bring you Shinigami to your knees in complete humiliation.
Yhwach found himself anticipating the next scenes with growing excitement! He firmly believed that the Gotei 13 would be unable to maintain their resistance much longer.
Soon, it would be his moment to appear and claim total victory. When that time arrived, he would completely obliterate Soul Society and reshape the entire cosmos into a world belonging solely to the Quincy!
Meanwhile, the projection continued to unfold before their eyes.
[Aizen turned his cold gaze upon the guards who had dared to violate his person, his voice carrying the chill of absolute contempt.
"How utterly ignorant," he said, each word dripping with disdain.
"Reckless, arrogant... completely unaware of your own pathetic limitations."
"The restraining devices you've researched cannot completely suppress my spiritual pressure. At best, they can only contain it within my immediate vicinity."
"So I trust I don't need to elaborate on what happens when you make direct contact with my reiatsu, do I?"
The guards' faces had gone pale with terror as they stared at their mangled hands, finally comprehending the magnitude of their error.
Ignoring their panicked expressions entirely, Aizen shifted his attention to Kyoraku Shunsui, who had been observing the exchange with careful interest.
"Kyoraku Shunsui," he said, his tone taking on a more measured quality, "do you truly believe that if I sit in this chair... I can serve Soul Society's interests?"
Kyoraku found himself genuinely moved by the question. He adopted a thoughtful expression before responding with characteristic wisdom.
"I never said I wanted you to fight for Soul Society," he replied carefully. "I simply know that our interests should align rather closely at this moment, don't you think?"
Kyoraku Shunsui was truly one of the few individuals capable of understanding Aizen's complex motivations! He recognized that Aizen would fight desperately to protect his Soul Society regardless of any formal requests, so there was no need to make demands or issue commands. He trusted that Aizen would do what needed to be done.
Aizen seemed genuinely affected by this display of understanding. He had always yearned for others to comprehend his true nature and motivations.
So when Kyoraku Shunsui—someone with whom he'd had minimal interaction during their time as fellow captains—spoke these words of genuine comprehension, Aizen found himself momentarily at a loss for how to respond.
A rare, authentic smile appeared on his features—perhaps the first genuinely warm expression he'd shown in decades.
"It seems you are truly an interesting man," he said to Kyoraku with unmistakable respect in his voice.
As he spoke, Aizen lowered his head with profound emotion, and there was even a hint of melancholy in his tone.
"You want me to breathe the air of Soul Society again? The air of a Soul Society that has been completely devastated by Yhwach... the air of our shattered realm?"
At this moment, countless viewers could clearly perceive the sincere sadness reflected in Aizen's eyes. It appeared that Aizen truly harbored deep, abiding love for Soul Society despite all his past actions!
There would be no need for Kyoraku to make any formal requests—Aizen would fight with every ounce of his being to protect Soul Society.
This was a Shinigami who loved his realm so deeply that he would sacrifice everything to defend it.
With Kyoraku's assistance, Aizen finally seated himself in the specially constructed restraint chair and began his journey to Soul Society's surface.
Soon, he would join the desperate battle to protect everything he held dear.]
Witnessing this scene, the Shinigami found themselves genuinely moved by the revelation of Aizen's true feelings!
It was now clear that Aizen would fight desperately to protect Soul Society, so they could finally feel some measure of relief regarding his motivations. They had been worried that Aizen might have ulterior motives or hidden agendas.
Now it seemed their concerns were largely unfounded. Aizen would commit himself completely to Soul Society's defense—this much was certain.
Furthermore, he remained under the control of Soul Society's specially designed restraint chair, making it impossible for him to break free easily. The Shinigami could still maintain some degree of control over their most dangerous ally.
Therefore, they could indeed utilize Aizen's power to defeat Yhwach and save their realm.
The only remaining question was whether Aizen possessed sufficient strength to actually defeat the Quincy King in direct combat.
The Arrancar found themselves deeply emotional at this moment as well. Seeing that their beloved Aizen-sama would once again have an opportunity to demonstrate his magnificent power filled them with genuine joy and anticipation.
[Ulquiorra]: Finally, Aizen-sama will remind everyone why he is the supreme being among all Shinigami.
[Tier Harribel]: These Quincy have no idea what kind of overwhelming force they're about to face.
[Grimmjow]: I can't wait to see their expressions when they realize how outmatched they truly are!
[Nnoitra]: This is going to be beautiful! Aizen-sama will show them what real power looks like!
