The forest of Menos Grande was very large, and the light in it was not very good. Of course, not all places were poorly lit, some places were still well lit. So sometimes it was hard to believe that this kind of place was an underground place.
After Mazuru came to the forest of Menos Grande, he was spied on by some Gillians immediately.
As the lowest level of Menos Grande, new Gillians were born every day in the forest of Menos Grande, and Gillians die every day as well. Among the countless births and deaths, some miracles were occasionally born, evolving from Gillians to Adjuchas.
Facing this kind of Gillian who was trying to spy on him, Mazuru had no intention of showing mercy. He drew his sword, and a crimson light flashed by. In an instant, an unknown number of Gillians died.
Of course, this move would attract more Menos Grande, but Mazuru didn't care.
Back then when his strength was still weak, he still had to dodge one or two things. Now, in this Menos Grande forest, he could come and go whenever he wanted, and it could almost be regarded as a backyard by him.
Instead of going directly to the center of the Menos Grande Forest, he planned to take the hidden path to the Las Noches.
But first, Mazuru went to another part of the Menos Grande Forest.
According to what Beelzebub said, when a certain person was illuminated by the light of the Ōin and transferred to Hueco Mundo, he brought him to the forest of Menos Grande, where he taught him for many years.
Later, Beelzebub went to Las Noches and became an Espada, on the other hand, the person he taught was a shinigami, due to his special status, he stayed in the forest of Menos Grande.
Now that the battle between the Soul Society and Aizen was imminent, it's time for this avenger to play a role.
Soon, Mazuru came to a certain place in the forest of Menos Grande, where there was a low hill, and a hidden cave hidden in the hill, this was where Ashido lived back then, he hid there for many years.
Later, Ashido was brought back to Soul Society by Mazuru, and the place was left vacant until Beelzebub found that person, and that person lived here all this time.
Because he hadn't contacted Beelzebub for a while, Mazuru was actually not sure if that person was still here, but now that he's here, he went to check it out.
His luck seemed to be quite good. When he got close to the cave, it immediately triggered the barrier around the cave, and then alarmed the people in the cave.
Of course Mazuru also discovered the barrier, but he didn't care about it.
As he broke through the barrier and walked towards the cave, before he could walk any further, suddenly, there was a sharp sword light from the darkness, and there was an endless sense of coldness in the light of that sword.
But before this sword light touched Mazuru, it was blocked by another sword light.
Mazuru didn't liberate his Zanpakuto, and easily blocked the attack just with his Zanpakuto's unliberated form.
When the two attacks collided, the ice attack shattered and turned into tiny ice crystals flying around.
"Shinigami, this is not the place for the likes of you!"
The figure holding the sword was covered with animal skins and a broken mask. Combined with the sword in his hand, he looked very similar to the arrancars in Hueco Mundo, he had indeed deliberately disguised himself as an arrancar.
"I think it's a little awkward for you to say this." Mazuru responded calmly, "Your tone makes it seem like you're not a shinigami."
Hearing Mazuru's words, there was a trace of hatred in the eyes of the masked figure, and he immediately thought of the trial that the Soul Society conducted against him back then.
A group of people with no real strength dared to put him on trial?
Why should his fate be decided by those guys?!
Even though many years had passed since that incident, the hatred in his heart had not diminished in the slightest, but had become more intense.
"I don't understand what you are saying."
A deep and hoarse voice came out of his mouth, and at the same time the sword in his hand slashed out again carrying an awe-inspiring chill.
However, Mazuru's slash was even faster, the powerful sword pressure swept out the incoming attack, even though the masked person knew that his current strength was not what it used to be, he had no choice but to retreat.
"I'm not in the mood to fight you." Mazuru said flatly.
The figure wanted to still pursue, but Mazuru suddenly said a name halting his movements.
"Beelzebub."
Hearing the name, the figure's movements stopped immediately, and then he looked at Mazuru with doubts on his face.
"I didn't know that the captain of the Third Division of Gotei 13 would actually know a hollow. It seems that Gotei 13 is more decadent than I imagined."
He knew Mazuru. After all, when he was still at Shinō Academy, Mazuru had already become a captain of Gotei 13 for several years, and he was also the teacher of that guy.
He had heard that guy mention him several times, if he didn't know Mazuru, it would be a rather unusual thing.
"There are still many things you don't know."
Mazuru said, and then asked him, "Should I call you Kusaka? Or should I call you Sojiro affectionately?"
Kusaka Sojiro was his name. After many years, when he heard this name again from someone's mouth, the masked figure seemed to be in a trance. Immediately, he came back to his senses and said coldly.
"Call what you like."
"Then I will call you Kusaka."
After Mazuru finished speaking, Sojiro asked Mazuru, "That guy told you I'm here?"
Mazuru nodded.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Sojiro asked in a deep voice.
"The time has come." Mazuru answered concisely.
Sojiro was taken aback, a little puzzled what Mazuru meant by this, what time had come?
"It's time to take revenge on the nobles of Central 46."
Hearing this, Sojiro suddenly felt excited. Every day he had lived in this place, he thought about taking revenge all the time.
After learning from Mazuru that the time had come, he felt a new rush of excitement.
"That group of nobles seems to be really unpopular." Even though he was in the forest of Menos Grande, he still knew some things about the Soul Society because of Beelzebub.
Not long ago, Aizen defected with Tousen and Gin, and slaughtered Central 46 before defecting.
Now, Mazuru found him again and said that he wanted to take revenge on Central 46. Although it may be a re-established Central 46 and it was a little bit regrettable, but as long as he could take revenge on those nobles, it was enough for Sojiro.
'But to think that Kyo Mazuru, the captain of the Third Division would know Beelzebub, does he have any secret relationship with Aizen Sosuke?'
Sojiro thought that the possibility of such a thing was very high.
First of all, Beelzebub was the head of Espada under Aizen. Secondly, Gin was the vice-captain of the Third Division during the time of their defection. Thinking from various angles, Mazuru was probably also on Aizen's side, but for some reasons, he didn't defect with Aizen earlier.
