Chapter 628
Hueco Mundo.
Forest of Menos.
The surroundings of the tower were quiet.
A group of Arrancar slowly stepped back to make way. A gloomy man with long black hair slowly walked out accompanied by Nelliel and Grimmjow.
This man looked very young…
However, the strange smile on his face made people feel a little uncomfortable…
His pair of cold snake eyes made people feel as if they were looking at a giant python that was waiting to devour someone!
Orochimaru!
Even though he had been away from Soul Society for thousands of years, the things he left behind could still affect Soul Society. Every time his ma.n.u.script appears in the world, it could make people feel as if they had obtained a treasure…
Just a secret technique that he had developed could make the Uehara Clan, who had obtained that secret technique, become Soul Society’s number one n.o.ble family…
“This is really…”
Sosuke Aizen’s face was as calm as ever. His fingers slowly push up his gla.s.ses and said softly, “I’ve heard a lot about you… Mr. Orochimaru.”
“Is that so?”
The corners of Orochimaru’s mouth curled up, revealing a cold smile. He chuckled, “If that’s the case, then it’s really an honor…”
“No…”
Sosuke Aizen held onto his gla.s.ses, the corners of his eyes slightly tightening, and his smile gradually became more and more strange, “The one who truly feels honored should be me…”
“Hehehehe…”
Orochimaru’s mouth only let out a chuckle.
Although everything that had happened in Soul Society’s thousands of years of history had been arranged by Uehara, and all of Orochimaru’s deeds had been single-handedly controlled by Uehara… it had indeed made Orochimaru very satisfied with this senior kind of feeling.
At the very least, when he was facing Sosuke Aizen…
Orochimaru was like a person who once stood at the peak and looked down at the ground.
To be honest, this feeling was quite good.
Uehara’s arrangement was quite reasonable. The resentment in Orochimaru’s heart for Uehara dissipated, and a little bit of a good impression of that guy rose in his heart…
If he could really cooperate with Uehara forever…
In fact, this kind of life was also good.
In comparison, if you live like a little brat like Sosuke Aizen, who has been under Uehara’s control from the very beginning. Thinking about it, it was really pitiful…
When he thought of this, Orochimaru raised his head and looked at Sosuke Aizen as if he was looking at a prey that was about to be tortured by him. He smiled and said, “Well, let’s see the appetizers first. The examination of those little fellows has just begun…”
“Okay.”
Sosuke Aizen nodded slowly. He narrowed his eyes and smiled, “Coincidentally, I’m also very interested in these things…”
“Hehehe… that’s good.”
Orochimaru couldn’t help but stick out his long tongue and lick his lips.
Even though Orochimaru could supplement his soul power by devouring Hollow and had a body that could be said to be immortal. When he saw someone like Sosuke Aizen, Orochimaru still couldn’t help but want to get his body.
The Arrancar written exam had just begun.
Sosuke Aizen originally wanted to take advantage of this time to have a good chat with Orochimaru, but when he saw the test questions, he couldn’t help but be a little interested.
Because the test questions…
Once leaked out, it would make the entire Soul Society shudder!
When these test questions fell into Sosuke Aizen’s eyes, his eyes slightly tightened because the test was about Gotei 13’s information!
Even Uehara Naraku, who had just become the 5th Division lieutenant, was included!
Soul Society’s intelligence…
Did Orochimaru really always hold it in his hands?
Even this test paper also included Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni’s Shikai and Bankai ability, who was the Gotei 13’s Captain-Commander…
No…
It could be said that all of Gotei 13 captain information was in essay form and their Shikai and Bankai were almost all compulsory questions!
This also meant that…
The Arrancar who was now sitting on the examination ground to partic.i.p.ate in the written exam had already grasped the information of Gotei 13 captains from this moment on!
Naturally…
This included his Kyouka Suigetsu.
How terrifying…
Even Sosuke Aizen couldn’t help but sigh.
“As expected of a big shot who lived in Soul Society’s mouth for thousands of years…”
Sosuke Aizen sat in front of the tea table and slowly opened his mouth to praise, “Menos, who has just become an Arrancar, has already known his opponent from this point on…”
“Hehehehe…”
Orochimaru nodded with a smile and said slowly, “There doesn’t seem to be a need to talk too much about the importance of intelligence…”
“That’s right.”
Sosuke Aizen’s eyes flashed, and a light flashed through his gla.s.ses lens. He turned to look at Orochimaru and asked softly, “Soul Society’s Uehara Clan has been very strict with intelligence protection. Is this also because of Mr. Orochimaru’s teachings back then…”
“Uehara…”
The smile on Orochimaru’s face faded slightly, and then hung on his face again, “What they blocked was just some irrelevant gossip… I already knew the whole Uehara clan like the back of my hand!”
At this moment…
Orochimaru seemed to be trying to hide his feelings toward the Uehara clan.
However, the moment the smile on his face disappeared, he had already made it clear that his relationship with the Uehara clan was not as friendly as Soul Society said!
Orochimaru did not want to hide it. He looked at Sosuke Aizen and slowly revealed a malicious smile, “It seems that there is no need to hide it from you… You have slowly noticed my relationship with the Uehara clan…”
“Yes.”
Sosuke Aizen slowly raised his head and slowly said, “Taking advantage of this time, it seems that I will be lucky enough to hear an interesting story from thousands of years ago…”
“Hehehehe…”
The smile on Orochimaru’s face suddenly became somewhat neurotic. His palm suddenly clenched the teacup on the table, and his hoa.r.s.e voice was somewhat gloomy, “Then listen to this story, a story about the king of the world…”
“Thousands of years ago…”
When Orochimaru said this, he slightly frowned and continued, “Perhaps earlier, when the whole world was still circulating, even the Hollow was only a part of the spirit particles, but there was a slight deviation in the middle…
The Hollow began to devour spirit particles.
This also means that the cycle of the world has gone wrong.
Once Hollow keeps devouring it, the world will be annihilated, and all spirits will be swallowed by Hollow, turning into a terrifying gigantic Hollow, a Menos, until the world became completely still.
And at this time, a Creator G.o.d finally appeared in this world. A G.o.d called Spirit King used the power of extermination to destroy the Hollow…
“Spirit King…”
Sosuke Aizen subconsciously frowned.
Because Aizen also really wanted to know what this so-called Spirit King was. He only knew that the Spirit King was mysterious and unfathomable, but he had never seen it…
However, Sosuke Aizen knew of the existence of the Soul King Palace!
If you want to enter the Soul King Palace, you only need the King’s Key. Unfortunately, Aizen happened to be studying the method to make the King’s Key recently…
“Hehehehe…”
Orochimaru’s eyes slightly tightened, and he revealed a strange and ghastly smile, “To Soul Society, the existence of the Soul King is indeed a supreme G.o.d… It’s just that to us, it’s only an experimental product!”
“Experimental product?”
The surprise in Sosuke Aizen’s eyes flashed.
Orochimaru looked at Sosuke Aizen and said with a chuckle, “Hehehehe… don’t be so surprised. Isn’t Zero Division also using the Soul King as an experimental product?”
When he said this, Orochimaru changed the topic to Zero Division and brought up the past again, “Thousands of years ago, when Soul Society was slowly formed, that era can be said to be full of stars. Even I was just a lonely and nameless p.a.w.n…”
“This doesn’t look like it at all…”
Sosuke Aizen couldn’t help but chuckle, “Even after thousands of years, Mr. Orochimaru is still very famous in Soul Society! Just the Impure World Reincarnation…”
“Do you also think that Impure World Reincarnation was developed by me?”
A strange smile suddenly flashed across the corner of Orochimaru’s mouth, as if he heard something funny, “No, or to put it this way, it is not wrong… In fact, there should only be three people who have really studied Impure World Reincarnation…”
“Three?”
“That’s right.”
Orochimaru looked at Sosuke Aizen, then looked at Ichimaru Gin who was beside Sosuke Aizen. He smiled and said, “Kabuto and I have only perfected this method… The person who really developed the Impure World Reincarnation… is Senju Tobirama who joined the Uehara clan… But he abandoned it because of the Uehara clan’s order…”
“The first-generation head of the Uehara Clan?”
Sosuke Aizen raised his eyebrows slightly.
Because Soul Society’s secret had mentioned that the first-generation head of the Uehara Clan was also Orochimaru’s best friend.
“You also think he is my friend, right?”
When Orochimaru said this, he couldn’t help but sneer, “I used to treat that guy as a friend, but he betrayed my trust time and time again…”
Orochimaru slowly gritted his teeth, a hint of anger flashing across his face, “Whenever you try to trust him, he will openly betray you…”
These words…
These were all Orochimaru’s true thoughts.
“So…”
A light flashed in Sosuke Aizen’s gla.s.ses. He whispered as if he was bewitched by a demon, “You guys broke up, and Mr. Orochimaru and Uehara clan became old enemies who wanted to kill each other…”
“That’s right…”
The corners of Orochimaru’s mouth curled into a smile again. He looked at Sosuke Aizen in front of him as if he was looking at an ignorant child, “Just like I wanted to destroy the Uehara clan… The entire Uehara clan has been secretly chasing me.”
Orochimaru turned to look at the dark Forest of Menos and said coldly, “Originally, our cooperation was quite pleasant. However, when I wanted to study the Spirit King, I wanted to make all of us become real G.o.ds, and become the supreme G.o.d that ruled the entire Soul Society!”
“Study Spirit King… Become real G.o.d…”
Sosuke Aizen narrowed his eyes.
First of all, what Orochimaru said was definitely a lie. Sosuke Aizen himself did not believe that Orochimaru would share the opportunity to become a G.o.d with others, because Aizen himself would not share the opportunity to become a G.o.d with others.
However, the key point was not here.
The two people’s focus was on how to become a G.o.d through Spirit King…
“That’s right.”
A hint of madness flashed across Orochimaru’s face as he coldly said, “As long as…you get the Spirit King, you can get the world’s largest aggregate of spirit particles…”
Orochimaru seemed to have concealed a part of his words.
He had deliberately concealed a part of how to become a G.o.d through the Spirit King.
This was the most crucial part, and also what Sosuke Aizen paid the most attention to. However, Sosuke Aizen had also found a way and he was also very clear that Orochimaru would not easily reveal these things…
Moreover, Sosuke Aizen also knew Orochimaru’s purpose. The purpose of this guy wanting to cooperate with him should be to obtain the Spirit King…
Sosuke Aizen was silent for a second and suddenly changed the topic, “In that case, the Spirit King is also the source of the division between Mr. Orochimaru and the first-generation head of the Uehara Clan…”
“Hehehehe… of course.”
Orochimaru turned to look at Sosuke Aizen and sneered, “The Uehara Clan falsely claimed that the Spirit King was the source of maintaining the stability of the world and swallowed all the results of my experiments. He also sent his subordinates, the 13 Death Servants, to kill me for the reason of illegal experiments. I had no choice but to escape from Soul Society and hide in Hueco Mundo…”
Orochimaru slowly grasped his hand, and a hint of viciousness flashed across his face, “Even now, the 13 Death Servants are still searching for my whereabouts. That group of Uehara clan’s lackeys is still executing his orders, wanting to kill me…”
At this moment…
It was as if he was an old friend who had been betrayed by Uehara!
Sosuke Aizen slowly digested a part of the truth he had obtained and nodded, “Indeed. Otherwise, Mr. Orochimaru might have become the master of Hueco Mundo earlier than me…”
Of course, to be honest.
Sosuke Aizen actually trusted that person named Uehara more.
This was because Sosuke Aizen had seen Uehara Naraku, the current head of the Uehara clan. He was an innocent and pure little fellow. Other than the extremely talented and valiant reiatsu, everything else was completely useless…
However, such a person…
He would definitely be trusted and followed by more people.
Sosuke Aizen was more willing to believe that what the first-generation head of the Uehara Clan said was true. If he killed the Spirit King, it might really destroy the world or something.
However…
Sosuke Aizen also did not care about this problem.
For this world or something, it was fine to destroy it…
What Sosuke Aizen paid more attention to was another problem. He slowly raised his head and looked at Orochimaru calmly, “In order to return to Soul Society and obtain the Spirit King, in order to destroy the Uehara clan, Mr. Orochimaru has been secretly looking for suitable people…”
“Hehehe… that’s right.”
Orochimaru smiled and nodded. A hint of praise flashed across his face, “Sosuke Aizen, when I saw you conquer Hueco Mundo, I knew that the person I wanted was here…”
“Is that so?”
The corners of Sosuke Aizen’s mouth curled into a smile. He reached out to take the box that Tosen Kaname had been holding and slowly placed it in front of Orochimaru.
Sosuke Aizen slowly opened the box and looked at the piles of snake molts in the box. It was as if he was looking at some treasure. He smiled and said, “No, it should be earlier… About a few hundred years ago or earlier…”
Sosuke Aizen looked at Orochimaru and said with a smile, “Because if it was earlier, my reiatsu would not have been able to find the pet traces that Mr. Orochimaru sent to monitor me…”
