Upon hearing Aizen's words, Ulquiorra's usually calm expression faltered slightly, seemingly hesitating with the emotions stirring within him.
Aizen's lips curved into a faint smile as he softly addressed everyone.
"Let's go, back to Las Noches."
"This time, Las Noches will welcome a new companion."
As his voice faded, he turned around first and strode away without hesitation.
Those behind him had varied expressions upon hearing his words. Ulquiorra looked somewhat melancholic, though it seemed he was not particularly concerned about the impending new companion.
Sasori and Saki both quietly observed Ulquiorra, especially Saki, whose pale eyes held a hint of curiosity.
After all, if what Aizen said was true, the next arrival would likely be someone very similar to Ulquiorra.
Saki, who managed all these operations, knew very well that he had been collecting various pieces of information in the dark underworld of the Ninja World, especially focusing on the tailed beasts as instructed by Lord Aizen.
Thus, when he discovered the trace of the Seven-Tails, Chomei, near Takigakure, he immediately reported it to Aizen.
Naturally, Aizen went to Takigakure and easily subdued the Seven-Tails.
However, to Saki's surprise, Aizen didn't seal the Seven-Tails into a jinchuriki but extracted its yin chakra in a rather mysterious way.
Afterward, Aizen released the Seven-Tails back into the forest.
For them, even half of a tailed beast's chakra was powerful enough to use, but Saki still wondered why Aizen didn't extract all of the Seven-Tails' chakra.
Of course, it was merely a slight curiosity. Saki always carried out Aizen's decisions, believing they held deeper meaning.
Later, Saki observed the massive tailed beast chakra suddenly disappearing one day.
However, in the Land of Rain, a colossal palace, almost beyond human capability to build, appeared silently and became Aizen's subordinate palace.
Saki remembered being almost unable to hide his shock when Aizen first took him there.
The grand palace was indeed overwhelming in its magnificence!
In it, Saki first saw that strange and cold boy. Thinking of this, he glanced lightly at the composed Ulquiorra, musing to himself.
Perhaps... something incredible will appear this time.
Is it the former companion you mentioned, Ulquiorra?
Within the Land of Rain.
Near a lush forest, a sheer, towering cliff loomed, its smooth, mirror-like rock face reflecting the bright sun.
At the cliff's base sat a vast, ancient-looking palace, its white, mottled structure blending with the rugged terrain.
No other building could exhibit such grand, majestic presence!
Within Las Noches, Saki and the others were waiting in a spacious hall, their calm eyes hiding a trace of curiosity.
Ulquiorra, however, was not among them. He was following Aizen down a quiet corridor.
"Clack! Clack! Clack!"
In the silent environment, rhythmic footsteps echoed as Aizen, with a faint smile, walked leisurely along the corridor.
Behind him, Ulquiorra carried the unconscious Five-Tails jinchuriki, Han, on his shoulder. Though Han was much larger, he seemed weightless to Ulquiorra.
"Creak!"
With a heavy sound, a tall stone door slowly opened before them, revealing a vast, dark space.
This expansive area, located within Las Noches, was actually a passage connected to the entire cliff.
It felt like the interior of the cliff, a wide space with a slightly sunken terrain. At Aizen's signal, Ulquiorra tossed Han into the depressed area.
Aizen's lips curved slightly as he glanced at Ulquiorra and spoke softly.
"Ulquiorra, do you know what kind of being is sealed within this man?"
Ulquiorra pondered briefly before respectfully replying.
"If this is the Five-Tails jinchuriki you requested, it should be one of the nine tailed beasts recorded in this world. From the information you provided, it seems this world has creatures born with immense power, and I assume you need one of these creatures."
Aizen's eyes narrowed slightly as he chuckled.
"You're right. Within this man is the Five-Tails, one of the nine tailed beasts."
He continued softly.
"The power of the tailed beasts is immense, especially for the Hogyoku. Utilizing the tailed beasts' yin chakra can achieve many incredible things."
He glanced at Ulquiorra with a smile.
"For example, summoning you from endless darkness into this world."
Ulquiorra's expression turned slightly shocked as he incredulously replied.
"Even the King's Key created from a hundred thousand souls in Karakura Town couldn't achieve such a feat."
Aizen's smile deepened as he spoke softly.
"The King's Key is merely a key to finding the Spirit King. Compared to the Hogyoku now, they're no longer in the same league."
He continued, his eyes gleaming.
"After all, the growth rate of the Hogyoku is astonishing. Even beings that have existed for tens of thousands of years seem like a joke before the Hogyoku."
"In this world, the Hogyoku and the tailed beasts are a perfect match. I'm eager to see how much the Hogyoku will grow."
Aizen's gaze shifted to Han below as he spoke softly.
"Hogyoku, proceed. Remember, like last time, only absorb the necessary yin chakra for now and temporarily store it within this man's body."
Ulquiorra respectfully stepped aside, his green eyes filled with curiosity.
As Aizen finished speaking, a faint blue light emanated from him, transforming into a beam connecting to the unconscious Han.
"Gurgle, gurgle—"
Feeling a tremendous threat, a burning chakra slowly emerged from Han's back, but it was instantly drawn to the blue beam.
Han floated in the air, his face contorted in pain, enveloped in a thick layer of chakra, but it was futile.
The chakra cloak was also being rapidly absorbed by the blue beam, which greedily devoured the chakra like a bottomless black hole.
The amount of tailed beast chakra was unimaginably vast, and the extraction process lasted nearly a day.
Within Las Noches, Saki and the others patiently awaited Aizen's return.
A day later, in the vast palace where Aizen and Ulquiorra were, an old, arrogant voice slowly echoed.
"Who... awakened me from the darkness as the god of Hueco Mundo... I shall bestow my blessing upon you."
