Chapter 508: Aizen: The Third Seat of Night City is Still Inferior to Me!
Chapter 508: Aizen: The Third Seat of Night City is Still Inferior to Me!
Aizen's straightforward words caused Helibel's already ashamed heart to sink even further.
She couldn't help but recall Night City's previous words, where he mentioned that Aizen, whom they regarded as their ruler, actually considered them as disposable pawns.
Aizen's bluntness was also because he knew that the form of death Helibel represented was "Sacrifice." Therefore, he was certain that Helibel wouldn't harbor any disloyal thoughts when hearing such words.
However, Aizen would never have dreamed that Night City had given Helibel a psychological counseling session before this.
Helibel herself didn't care much about it initially, but now she realized that everything Night City had said was accurate, and her emotions were entirely different at this moment.
Helibel's usual icy demeanor, coupled with her current downward-facing expression, didn't raise any suspicions from Aizen. Instead, he continued, "Did the Third Seat of Night City perform his Shikai release when fighting you? Did he release all three seals of spiritual pressure on his body?"
Helibel, who was initially confused, was startled by Aizen's words and looked at him in surprise, exclaiming, "He has three seals of spiritual pressure on his body?!"
Seeing Helibel's expression, Aizen understood that even she couldn't make Night City fight with all his strength.
Indeed, to test Night City's current level, at least Stark, the First Espada, should have been sent.
At this moment, Helibel was also surprised. She had thought that Night City had already fought with all his strength, but she never expected him to hold back!
"When fighting me, he had already released his Shikai and removed two seals of spiritual pressure from his body.
But I didn't know he had a third seal of spiritual pressure. Because with just two seals released, I was no match for him..."
Despite the wavering loyalty Helibel felt for Aizen at this moment, she answered his question without any concealment.
Upon hearing Helibel's response, Aizen rose from his throne, and a formidable aura and spiritual pressure erupted from him, causing the entire Moonlit Night Palace to shake violently! Every Hollow within the palace could sense Aizen's overwhelming spiritual pressure, which was suffocating in its intensity.
Needless to say, the Espada-level Hollows were affected, but even the Fraccion-level Hollows, despite being far away, found themselves completely pinned to the ground by this powerful spiritual pressure! Helibel and Grimmjow, who were in front of the throne, felt the brunt of this pressure, and even as Espada-level Hollows, their limbs felt unusually heavy under the impact.
As they experienced the overwhelming spiritual pressure, they couldn't even think of resisting it. Helibel and Grimmjow only felt helplessness and endless fear flooding their hearts.
The spiritual pressure storm came suddenly but dissipated quickly. As Aizen gradually restrained the pressure emanating from his body, and the shaking Moonlit Night Palace slowly returned to calm, Aizen turned to Helibel, who was drenched in cold sweat, and asked, "Compared to the spiritual pressure I just released, what level would you say the Third Seat of Night City is?"
Realizing that Aizen's sudden surge of spiritual pressure was not meant to intimidate them but merely as a warning, Tier Harribel heaved a sigh of relief. "That Shinigami's spiritual pressure is strong, but it's nothing compared to Lord Aizen's."
Aizen's lips curved into a slight smile as he heard the response from Harribel, which pleased him greatly.
"It seems like the Third Seat of Yecheng hasn't made much progress these days. Although he still has another layer of spiritual pressure seal to release, the power I unleashed just now is not even half of my full strength."
Aizen's current demeanor clearly indicated his excellent mood, and his words left everyone present in shock.
The spiritual pressure Aizen had just unleashed was already enough to crush any resistance from Harribel and Grimmjow, yet he claimed it was not even half of his full power! To be honest, Aizen had been slightly worried before, as Yecheng had refused the "Fragment of Resurreccion" and insisted on surpassing his limits on his own.
But with Harribel's comparison, Aizen instantly regained his composure.
With just half of his strength, he was already almost on par with Yecheng's full power. And with the "Fragment of Resurreccion" in his possession, his strength was increasing exponentially every day. The once arrogant Yecheng would soon be left in the dust, unable to even catch up with Aizen's progress.
As they came to understand Aizen's overwhelming power, the few people before the throne had varying thoughts.
Genryusho, a loyal follower, immediately began flattering Aizen, stating that the Third Seat of Yecheng was nothing to be afraid of. He even claimed that not only Lord Aizen but even he himself could easily defeat Yecheng if he were to fight.
After arriving in the Hollow Realm, Genryusho willingly underwent Aizen's modification and gained the power of "Perfect Hollowification" through the Fragment of Resurreccion.
His strength had increased significantly since his time in Soul Society, which was why he was able to become the Warden, capable of suppressing even the Ten Swords.
As for Shiwan Yin, who also served by Aizen's side, his face wore a smile, but his heart was filled with melancholy.
Aizen's power had increased at an astonishing rate after obtaining the Fragment of Resurreccion. At this rate, their chances of defeating Aizen were becoming slimmer by the day.
Harribel, with her head bowed, continued to ponder over Yecheng's previous words. What did Aizen, whom she regarded as her sovereign, truly think of them?
"Lady Harribel, how did your mission in the Human World go? Was it successful?"
"Are you asking a rhetorical question? Lady Harribel is so powerful; how could she possibly fail?"
As soon as Harribel returned to her palace, her three female Hollow subordinates, Apache, Mila-Rose, and Sun-Sun, rushed in.
Apache, Mila-Rose, and Sun-Sun had been saved by Harribel when they were still Hollows, and they held her in high esteem and admiration.
When the entire Moonlit Night Palace shook earlier, they could sense Lord Aizen's spiritual pressure, and they thought it was due to Harribel's failure, which had angered Lord Aizen.
That was why they hurried over to check on Harribel, and when they saw that she was unharmed and had not been punished by Aizen, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Apache, Mila, and Sun-Sun, do you think we are all expendable tools in Lord Aizen's eyes?"
