Chapter 507: Rapid Progress in Persuasion
Chapter 507: Rapid Progress in Persuasion
Since her birth, Helibel, who has lived in the Hollow Realm, has clearly never been exposed to the advanced ideologies and brainwashing techniques of Night City.
Although she didn't understand a lot of what was said, she was greatly shocked and secretly felt that Night City, this pervert, seemed to make some sense.
Of course, Helibel, as one of the 'Ten Blades', was able to achieve 'Hollowification' thanks to the power of Aizen.
Night City, as a Shinigami and their enemy in the Hollow Realm, she couldn't possibly trust him just because of a few words.
"I've remembered everything you said, but unfortunately, because of our opposing positions, I cannot become your friend.
Since you have released me, then the next time we meet, I will naturally spare you and repay this favor."
Helibel truly ran away, discarding her Hollow Hole and fleeing, while Night City, as he had said before, did not take further action against her.
Night City wasn't surprised by Helibel's response.
After all, Helibel was the top female fighter in the enemy camp, and if she could be persuaded so easily, then this wouldn't be a hot-blooded series anymore; it might as well be turned into a harem series.
However, Night City could sense that because of his words, Helibel's mindset had already undergone some changes, and her favorability towards him should have increased to some extent.
As you can see, Helibel had previously stated that the next time they met, she would definitely not show mercy, but just now, at the moment of parting, she said that the next time they meet, she would repay this favor.
This time you repay my favor, and next time I'll repay yours; with such frequent interactions, can the so-called enemies still be enemies? Anyway, with time on their side, Helibel's favorability can be gradually increased. With the help of Shiwan Yin, this traitor, Night City can easily grasp Helibel's favorability.
Night City is now looking forward to the final battle, where Aizen will suddenly be backstabbed by several of his subordinates; what kind of expression will he have then?
While the battle between Night City and Helibel was coming to an end, the fight in Kurakutou also reached its conclusion.
Grimmjow, also one of the Ten Blades, faced off against Ichigo Kurosaki, who had been missing for a long time and had completed his Hollowification training.
Without Grimmjow's Zanpakuto Release, Ichigo fought him to a stalemate, and in less than a minute of Hollowification, he used the black Crescent Sky Thrust to leave a scar on his opponent's waist.
Just as Grimmjow was about to release his Zanpakuto and go on a killing spree, the blind Genryusho appeared and stopped him in time.
The reason was simple: Black Zaki Ichigo was important to Aizen, so Grimmjow could come and serve as a sparring partner and experience bag, but he couldn't actually kill him.
Because of this, Grimmjow eventually left, feeling both unwilling and dissatisfied. As for the subordinates he had brought, they all perished at the hands of Winter Lion Lang and the others.
Hollow Realm, Moonlit Night Palace.
Aizen, seated on his throne, looked at Helibel and Grimmjow kneeling before him and maintained a refreshing posture, saying, "You've worked hard this time. Tell me your thoughts on your opponents."
Sending Helibel and Grimmjow to the Human World was originally Aizen's arrangement for Night City and Ichigo.
Among them, Black Zaki Ichigo was Aizen's agent for promoting evolution, and it was necessary to send experience bags to promote his growth.
As for Night City, it was entirely Aizen's test. Since obtaining the Fragment of Resurreccion and coming to the Hollow Realm, Aizen's strength had been improving daily.
Despite his growing strength, Aizen never forgot that the Hogyoku had chosen Yecheng over him.
Aizen was an extremely proud man and couldn't bear being inferior to others.
Now that times had changed, he couldn't help but wonder about the current strength of Yecheng, who had once barely been his match.
Considering Yecheng's power, Aizen had originally planned to send No.1 Stark, but Stark was too smart and would likely be uncooperative.
No.2 Baraggan was a hundred pounds of bones, and at least ninety-nine of those were rebellious, so in the end, he chose No.3 Helibel as a compromise.
Among the top three, Helibel was also the most loyal to Aizen.
"Ichigo Kurosaki seems to possess the power of the Hollows, and compared to ordinary Shinigami, he's indeed quite interesting."
But in the end, it was just that. If not for the intervention of the Warden, I could have taken him out myself."
When Grimmjow brought up Ichigo Kurosaki, he couldn't help but feel annoyed. Ichigo Kurosaki, whom he considered as insignificant, had left a scar on him, and just as he was about to finish him off, Genryusho had stopped him.
"No matter, you'll have a chance to face him again in the future."
Aizen saw through Grimmjow's discontent and defiance, and in his mind, he was already planning to send this troublemaker to his opponent as a sacrificial lamb once Ichigo Kurosaki had grown enough.
"Helibel, what about you? How do you assess the strength of the Third Seat of Yecheng after your battle with him?"
Compared to Ichigo Kurosaki, Aizen was more concerned about Yecheng at this moment.
After all, no matter how great Ichigo Kurosaki's talent and potential were, he was still just a pawn in Aizen's eyes.
On the contrary, this Yecheng had repeatedly rejected Aizen's recruitment attempts, and Aizen always felt like he couldn't see through him.
This feeling made Aizen extremely displeased. As the hidden mastermind, he disliked pawns that could jump out of his chessboard.
"Lord Aizen, I'm truly sorry. That Shinigami named Yecheng is incredibly powerful, and I am no match for him."
Facing Aizen's inquiry, Helibel knelt on one knee with her head lowered, too ashamed to look her master in the eye.
She had only survived because Yecheng had spared her, and for some reason, she chose to remain silent about what Yecheng had said to her.
"Since you've lost to an enemy in battle, you must accept the corresponding punishment..."
Upon hearing Helibel admit her defeat, Aizen's loyal henchman Genryusho, appointed by Aizen as the Warden of the Moonlit Night Palace, was about to step forward to punish Helibel, but Aizen stopped him.
"Genryusho, let it go this time. You should be well aware of the strength of Yecheng's Third Seat.
To be honest, it's somewhat beyond my expectations that Number 3 was able to return here safely.
Being able to return unharmed from the hands of Yecheng's Third Seat is truly remarkable."
Hearing Aizen's words, Helibel, who had been kneeling with her head lowered, now revealed a look of shock in her eyes.
She knew she couldn't defeat her opponent, yet Aizen still sent her. Wasn't Aizen implying that he had sent Helibel to her death from the very beginning!
