Chapter 466: Night City Third Seat, You Don't Want Rukia Kuchiki to Be...
As Aizen's spiritual pressure continued to rise, he observed Night City with a calm and composed demeanor, even with his battle intent soaring. Yet, an inexplicable sense of foreboding arose within him.
According to the information he possessed, Night City's strength should have reached its limit.
Night City had neither achieved Bankai nor had any sealed spiritual pressure remaining, and Aizen was unable to gain the upper hand. This unsettling feeling was perplexing.
Could it be that Night City, like him, was capable of utilizing Hollow powers? After all, the Hogyoku was currently in Night City's possession.
No, that possibility was unlikely. While the Hogyoku was indeed a remarkable object, not everyone could wield it effectively.
Aside from Aizen himself and the genius Urahara Kisuke, this wisdom crystal would be like a pearl covered in dust in the hands of others.
Although he couldn't comprehend the source of his unease, he had just been kicked, and he needed to regain his composure. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to act tough in front of Night City again.
As Aizen's spiritual pressure continued to rise, a white, liquid-like substance quickly appeared around his neck, rapidly solidifying and forming a horn-like structure.
Upon sensing the Hollow-like aura emanating from Aizen, Night City tightened his grip on his Zanpakuto, 'Beyond,' preparing for what was to come.
Just as Aizen was about to reclaim the upper hand, and Night City was contemplating whether to deliver the final blow, Shiwan Gin's voice suddenly interrupted their confrontation.
"Night City Third Seat, before you engage Captain Aizen, I suggest you take a good look at who I have here."
When Night City and Aizen turned to face Shiwan Gin, they realized that he had somehow captured Rukia and was now pressing his Zanpakuto against her fair neck.
"As far as I know, Night City Third Seat has an excellent relationship with the Kuchiki family, and Rukia Kuchiki is a junior you hold in high regard.
So, I wonder, what choice will Night City Third Seat make when faced with this dilemma?"
Observing Shiwan Gin's playful expression as he held his Zanpakuto, Night City's face darkened. He had no idea what Shiwan Gin was up to.
Wasn't Shiwan Gin a mere underling? Had his interference caused Shiwan Gin to become Aizen's lackey? Unbeknownst to Night City, Shiwan Gin's actions were, in his eyes, a way to save him.
No one understood Aizen's terror better than Shiwan Gin. While Night City was currently powerful, Shiwan Gin knew that Aizen's strength would soar to another dimension with Hollowification and Bankai.
Shiwan Gin didn't want Night City to die here. It was evident to any discerning observer that Night City would be a significant force in the future against Aizen.
Night City still had immense room for growth, such as mastering a more formidable Bankai.
As a subordinate, Night City was also the only person Shiwan Gin could trust at the moment.
"You bastard! What the hell are you trying to do?" Night City, still unsure of Shiwan Gin's intentions, spoke with genuine concern.
"What I want is simple. Captain Aizen desires something that should be in your possession, Night City Third Seat.
Hand it over to us, or the safety of your beloved junior cannot be guaranteed."
Upon realizing that Shiwan Gin intended to use Rukia as leverage for the Hogyoku, Night City instantly understood. Apparently, Shiwan Gin believed that now was not the time for them to turn against Aizen.
To be honest, the Hogyoku was indeed in Night City's hands. While Aizen considered it a treasure, Night City didn't hold it in such high regard.
Night God Nightshade had no intention of using the Hollowification Gem, but his cheat was far superior to it. The thought of having to undergo the same transformation as Aizen, eventually becoming neither human nor Hollow, made Yecheng feel this method was utterly useless.
Before Yecheng could react to Shiman Gin's threat, Aizen himself was already somewhat displeased.
A powerful spiritual pressure surged towards Gin, accompanied by an authoritative gaze. Aizen's voice, seemingly calm, carried a hint of anger, "Gin, I didn't ask you to do something so unnecessary!"
Although Gin's current actions seemed to be solely for the benefit of Ichinsei, as the Antagonist Boss, Aizen was extremely displeased with Gin's unauthorized behavior.
Feeling the overwhelming pressure, Gin's body trembled involuntarily, and his understanding of Aizen's strength became even clearer.
However, to dispel Aizen's concerns and dissatisfaction, Gin had to prepare a perfect explanation.
"Captain Aizen, I apologize for acting on my own. I firmly believe that you can defeat Night City Third Seat and retrieve the Hollowification Gem by yourself."
"But the problem is, we don't have much time left. Night City Third Seat has just unleashed his spiritual pressure, and the Captain Commander and the other captains should be arriving soon, right?"
With Aizen's strength, even if surrounded, he could naturally retreat safely. However, Genryusho Tsozen and I don't possess such abilities."
Gin's words were half-truth, half-lie. On the one hand, he appeared to be considerate of Aizen, but on the other, he also revealed his fear of death.
Ironically, it was because of this revelation that Aizen became more trusting of Gin. The displeasure on Aizen's face dissipated somewhat.
Unlike Genryusho Tsozen, Aizen was well aware that Gin had his own agenda for joining him.
If Gin showed a willingness to go through fire and water for Aizen, it would ruin his character and invite Aizen's suspicion.
"Gin, your actions are unnecessary. Since I dared to fight Night City Third Seat here, I've naturally prepared for all of us to retreat safely.
I don't want to see such behavior again, or you know the consequences!"
Seeing that Aizen was slightly displeased but not outright angry, Gin knew he had made the right bet. This move not only saved Yecheng's life but also dispelled Aizen's suspicions.
"My deepest apologies. I didn't expect Captain Aizen to be so far-sighted, having arranged everything in advance.
So, what should I do now? Should I release the hostage and let Night City Third Seat continue fighting with you?"
Gin narrowed his eyes and slightly opened his mouth, asking.
"No, since we've already started, there's no point in stopping now.
And as you said, if the Captain Commander and the other captains arrive, although we're not afraid of them, it will indeed cause some trouble."
Taking a hostage to threaten Yecheng was a lowly act, something Aizen, with his high status, would never do.
However, it was his subordinate, Gin, who had acted on his own, so it wasn't Aizen's concern.
Although Aizen seemed angry at Gin's initiative, he secretly admired Gin's wit.
