Although he is together with Aizen from the beginning, he is on a road that is destined to go towards darkness but this does not affect Mazuru's determination to protect certain people. He was determined to be from the beginning, but after all, he can't remain unaffected by the power of time. Of course, this protection is at most only for the people around him.
Mazuru knows that his power is limited, and the people he can take care of are also limited. But one day, if he can't even protect the limited people around him, what should he do?
As for the existence of Yhwach, Mazuru knew about his existence from the beginning, but now he also knew some secrets about Yhwach from Soken.
All the quincies get their strength from him, the ancestor of quincy and those who drank the blood wine of Yhwach and were granted special powers by it are called "Sternritters". According to Soken, every member of Sternritters are the top quincy masters of the Quincy Division and can compete with the captains of Gotei 13.
Of course, the authenticity of this statement was still open to debate.
After all, the power displayed by Soken, a former member of the Sternritters, was really unsatisfactory. Moreover, what he learned from Soken is that Yhwach's ability is- The Almighty. (Japanese for "All-Knowing & All-Powerful")
All-Knowing & All-Powerful, these four words, one can understand its strength just by hearing.
…
Night Time.
In his quarters, Mazuru placed Zanpakuto in front of him and entered his Zanpakuto's space. It was still a big river, and same beautiful woman standing.
After seeing Mazuru, Chi no Kawa said coldly, "There is no such thing as absolute invincibility, even if it's called The Almighty, it has its limitations."
Mazuru was taken aback for a moment.
"If Yhwach is really that strong, it would be impossible to be defeated by Yamamoto Genryūsai a thousand years ago."
"It has been a thousand years, but he just recovered from the injuries he suffered back then. Even if he becomes stronger, he won't be much stronger. The real strength of the Wandenreich is that they have been preparing for a thousand years, and they have been hiding in the shadows of Seireitei. They know the inside information about Seireitei but we don't. The enemy is in the dark, and we are in the open, so once they attack, the entire Seireitei will instantly fall in a complete disadvantage due to lack of preparation."
Mazuru looked at Chi no Kawa in front of him in surprise, he was a little surprised that she was talking so much today.
Seemingly seeing Mazuru's curiosity, Chi no Kawa asked him a question, "In your opinion, what is a Zanpakuto?"
"Zanpakuto is a part of the shinigami's soul."
Mazuru immediately replied.
'Ah…no wonder she knew what I was worried about.'
Having said that, Zanpakuto is a weapon condensed from a part of shinigami's soul after a shinigami pours his reiatsu into his/her asauchi. This statement has been known for a long time, but Mazuru still wants to complain, why is the part of his soul a woman, and such a violent one at that.
After their chat was over, a sword condensed in Chi no Kawa's hand. Mazuru knew what she wanted to do, and immediately formed a sword in his own hand.
Just like the previous hundred years, another day of sword practice begun.
Knowing that the Wandenreich is hidden in Seireitei's shadow, Aizen worried that he might also being observed by the Wandenreich when he was conducting experiments in the Fifth Division. So he went to the laboratory he had in Rukongai.
Through his continuous observation of Seireitei and after countless experiments and changes in verification methods, he finally found a clue.
In the shadows of Seireitei, he found a hidden but high-intensity spiritual reaction. Originally, the concentration of spirit particles in Seireitei is much higher than that in Rukongai, so it is quite normal but the spirit particles hidden in the shadows of Seireitei are distributed in a pentagon-like pattern.
"The Wandenreich, it really exist in the shadows."
The distribution of solid spirit particles is like the soul shield that is covering the sky of Seireitei. Usually, this kind of distribution of spirit particles will only appear due to one reason, which is protecting something inside from outside invasion.
After Aizen confirmed this matter, he couldn't tell what kind of mood he felt. He felt a little excited. However, he did not rashly tried to invade the Wandenreich. For a thousand years, the Wandenreich has been hiding in the shadows of Seireitei and has never been discovered, this means that they have always been on guard against the Soul Society discovering them, so rashly invading the Wandenreich will only make them violently react. It may even lead to an early war.
Thinking of what Soken said, those quincy masters who have been preparing for revenge all this time, and Yhwach who has fully recovered. Aizen couldn't help thinking of his own plan again.
'Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, and now… the Wandenreich, when the moment comes, which side will have the last laugh?'
'And also…'
He looked up and glanced at the sky above.
A hundred years ago, when Hikifune Kiryu was promoted to the Zero Division, he pretended not to know about the existence of the Zero Division in front of Hirako Shinji, but in fact, how he could not know the existence of the Zero Division and the Soul King, that appearance he showed was just to deceive others.
He knew the truth of this world early on. It was precisely because of the clarity that he felt disgusted from the bottom of my heart.
Urahara Kisuke, whose intelligence can be compared with his, or Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni, the head-captain who defeated Yhwach a thousand years ago, obviously possesses sufficient intelligence and strength, but are willing to succumb to such things, he even helped those disgusting nobles maintain that lie, and let those disgusting nobles stand high without any merit.
Such an old and pedantic world is really rotten.
'The final winner will only be me.'
Aizen murmured softly in his heart.
Knowing the existence of the Wandenreich and Yhwach made him a little vigilant, but it would not change his original plan and to complete that plan, he must first find someone, and then take that thing from that other person. Only that way can he truly surpass the limit.
