Under Kaelith's gaze, Aizen calmly explained the abilities of his Zanpakut?.
He didn't hide anything; it was basically the same as what Kaelith already knew.
After speaking, Aizen looked at Kaelith.
"You don't seem very surprised."
"So, you already had some understanding of my abilities before this?"
Kaelith blinked innocently, as if he didn't know what Aizen was talking about.
Aizen chuckled softly.
He patted the hilt of his sword. "In any case, if you don't want to be caught by my Ky?ka Suigetsu, you need to be careful from now on. When you see me draw my sword, avert your gaze; don't look at it."
Kaelith raised his head arrogantly. "Mere illusions—what do I, Kaelith, have to fear?"
In the moment he was acting cool, he ruthlessly suppressed the memory of himself instinctively ducking and covering his head the first time he saw Ky?ka Suigetsu.
Aizen nodded noncommittally.
After explaining Ky?ka Suigetsu's abilities, he prepared to move.
But Kaelith called out to him.
With a serious expression, Kaelith walked over.
"S?suke, you've told me such an important thing; my heart is filled with emotion."
"I've decided—I should tell you something very important as well!"
Aizen folded his hands in his sleeves and nodded casually. "Go ahead."
Kaelith took a deep breath. "To be honest, rather than girls with bigger chests, I actually prefer girls with smaller ones."
Aizen resisted the urge to kick him, so with his remaining willpower he ignored him and turned to leave.
Kaelith hurriedly coughed.
"I'm joking, just kidding."
He grabbed Aizen and said:
"S?suke, I still don't know the name of my Zanpakut?."
Aizen: "?"
Under Aizen's puzzled gaze, Kaelith briefly explained how, during the prison incident, he was besieged by two captain-level opponents and awakened his Zanpakut?'s powers.
Hearing that Kaelith hadn't obtained his Zanpakut?'s name yet directly gained its powers, Aizen couldn't help but frown.
How could that be?
Since the birth of the Soul Society, there had never been a Shinigami who didn't know their Zanpakut?'s name yet could wield its powers.
Especially since Kaelith had awakened more than one ability.
Was his Zanpakut? doing charity work? Even without its name being known, it handed over all its powers?
Even with his usual calmness, he couldn't help but confirm again to ensure Kaelith wasn't just talking nonsense.
Confirming that Kaelith wasn't joking, Aizen couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
His intuition told him that Kaelith's current situation had great potential.
Perhaps it could provide new ideas and directions for his own research!
Although he wanted to start researching immediately, the time and place weren't appropriate.
"Let's capture the Hollows first; we'll discuss it when we return to the Soul Society."
With that, the two began to move in Hueco Mundo.
...
In the vast silver desert, over a dozen Gillian-class Menos were quietly roaming.
Standing tens of meters, even hundreds of meters tall, they were like giant whales swimming in the deep sea.
Just seeing them from afar gave a strong sense of oppression.
On a nearby dune, two youths wearing Shihakush? exchanged glances.
"You take the ones on the right; I'll take the ones on the left. Leave the big one in the middle."
Aizen drew his sword, his brown eyes filled with delight, staring intently at the large Hollow in the center.
With his experience, this Hollow's power had reached a critical point.
If it continued to grow, it might break through its current level in a few decades and become an even more powerful being. This kind of Hollow was exactly what he needed now!
As soon as he finished speaking, he vanished from his spot with a Shunpo, charging into the group of Menos.
On the other side, Kaelith did the same.
He drew his sword and casually muttered a name.
In the next second, black shadows stretching dozens of meters emerged from the white sands of Hueco Mundo.
These shadows, as if alive, rampaged across the battlefield.
In the blink of an eye, three or four Gillians were struck by the giant blades formed from the shadows, dissolving into countless particles of Reishi.
As for Aizen, he simply swung a few arcs of sword pressure.
This move was something Kaelith had learned from Yamamoto and later taught to him.
Though not flashy, it was practical, and he quite liked it.
Under the overwhelming strength of the two, these dozen or so Gillians didn't even have a chance to resist before being forcibly taken down.
Only one remained, letting out an enraged roar.
It opened its huge mouth, a rotating red sphere gathering.
Aizen had no intention of stopping its actions; he even watched with interest.
The next second, a red beam blasted forth, fiercely aiming at him!
Facing the Menos' Cero, Aizen merely raised a hand and gently pushed forward.
Boom!!!
The incoming Cero seemed to hit an invisible wall, unable to advance any further.
No Kid? was used to block it—just pure Reiatsu suppression.
The high-energy, high-speed Reishi blast dissipated into the air under the suppression of a stronger Reiatsu.
After it had fully discharged its Cero, the Gillian was stunned.
Though it lacked reason, it still had instincts.
This "little bug" before it was someone it couldn't provoke!
If it didn't run quickly, it would be devoured!
It twisted its hundred-meter-tall slender body, desperately turning in another direction.
But as soon as it turned, it saw a demonic grin.
Kaelith swung a specially made rope loop, securely binding the Gillian.
Then, with a strong pull, he forcefully toppled the tall, dark figure to the ground.
As the Gillian twisted and struggled, Aizen Shunpo'd to its head, pulled out a long needle from who-knows-where, and forcefully stabbed it through the gap in its white mask.
Before long, the Gillian stopped struggling and went limp.
Looking at his "handiwork," Aizen smiled.
"Finally caught it."
This was already the third time he and Kaelith had come to Hueco Mundo.
Although it's called Hueco Mundo, in most places it's actually hard to find Hollows.
Although they could catch a few decent Menos each time they came, encountering a top-tier Gillian on the verge of breaking through like today was still something to be happy about.
After a brief handling, the two took the Gillian and quickly left Hueco Mundo, returning to the Soul Society.
According to Aizen, if they didn't process and seal it quickly, its freshness would be affected.
Regarding this, Kaelith could only pray that Aizen wouldn't bring this bizarre enthusiasm to compete with the top chefs for their livelihood...
Shortly after the two left, four figures suddenly appeared here.
Leading them was a golden short-haired, humanoid Hollow.
As soon as she appeared, she looked around.
The residual Reishi in the air, though deliberately concealed, still revealed that a battle had just taken place.
"...They succeeded again, huh."
She crossed her arms and frowned slightly.
