Kisuke didn't forget his words of warning just because of Mazuru's betrayal.
Although Mazuru's betrayal shocked him a bit, but conversely, when he thought about Mazuru's position and motives, he realized that although he belonged to Aizen's group, he doesn't necessarily have the same path as Aizen.
The biggest proof of it was that after he created the Hōgyoku back then, he immediately informed Yoruichi and Mazuru, but Mazuru did not tell Aizen about it. It was not until many years later that Aizen came to know that he had created a Hōgyoku.
This meant that Mazuru at that time, hid it from him.
Otherwise, the big event that happened in the Soul Society that year would definitely not as simple as it was, and Aizen would never have let him rescue so many captains and vice-captains who were hollowfied, so easily.
"The truth, what exactly is it?"
Kisuke suddenly wanted to know the exact reality to this string of circumstances.
For a wise man, the most uncomfortable thing is that there is a question in front of him that could not be answered. Similarly, what made him happy was that, though, there was a difficult problem for him, there was also clear directions to explore the answer.
…
Hueco Mundo.
Recently the Las Noches is under construction.
During the previous battle, the Las Noches was severely damaged, and even the artificial sky of the dome was destroyed, so during this period, under the control of many arrancars in the Las Noches, some low-level Menos Grande took on the role of brick movers and started to professionally repair the Las Noches.
Although Mazuru was not as particular as Aizen, but he too, planned to make the Las Noches beautiful, after all if it was too dilapidated, it would not feel very good to stay in.
In the main hall of Las Noches, it looked a little deserted.
When there was no meeting, the members of Espada and the likes stay in their respective palaces.
Although the main hall had not been restored to its former beauty and magnificence, after the first repairs, it was not too bad. Of course, they would have to continue to carry out some fine decoration later.
Mazuru sat casually on the throne, beside him stood Gin and Kaname.
Kaname looked calm, Aizen's defeat certainly made him a little uncomfortable, but fortunately Mazuru came back in time, after Tsunayashiro Tokinada slaughtered the Tsunayashiro family, he, in front of Mazuru and Aizen, swore that if they both could help him kill Tokinada, he would work for them all his remaining life.
Then, in the battle in Hueco Mundo, Mazuru killed Tokinada in front of him.
Since then, Kaname had become more determined in following Aizen and Mazuru, and had done a lot of shady things for Aizen, but it was not Aizen that he respected the much, it would true to say that he respected Mazuru even more than he respected Aizen.
After all, Tokinada's death had nothing to do with Aizen, and it was Mazuru who really solved his knot in his heart.
Gin, on the side, also seemed a little more relaxed than before.
Although when Aizen was around, he always had a relaxed attitude, but he only looked relaxed on the outside. In fact, he was on guard all the time. After all, from the first day he joined under Aizen, he had the intention of doing something bad.
Now that Aizen had failed, Las Noches had changed and came under a new owner, who was by Mazuru on his side, although he was once extremely wary of Mazuru, and even now he still couldn't see through some of Mazuru's motives.
But compared to Aizen, his perception of Mazuru was undoubtedly much better.
"Where is Beelzebub?"
Gin asked Mazuru.
During the battle in Karakura Town, he got a glimpse of the relationship between Mazuru and Beelzebub, and he asked Mazuru such a question at this moment because after Mazuru pulled out the spiritual vein under Karakura Town, he handed over the spirit vein to Beelzebub.
"What's the matter? You suddenly care about him? It's not like your usual style, Gin." Mazuru turned his head and glanced at Gin.
Gin narrowed his eyes, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, "I don't care about him, but you did such a thing, the Soul Society will not let it go, if Beelzebub really has any action to take, it's better to let him hurry up."
Previously, Aizen only showed the determination and capability to create Ōken, and there was such a big movement on the Soul Society's side just for that, and even Head-captain Yamamoto took action himself.
What Mazuru had done, compared to Aizen, was even worse.
After returning to Hueco Mundo, he also learned from Sojiro and Grimmjow what Mazuru did when they were fighting against the Soul Society in the world of living.
First, he fought a battle against Byakuya, Unohana and Zaraki in the Hueco Mundo, and pushed Zaraki to awaken Zanpakuto, and even go further and learn Bankai.
This surprised him.
But what really surprised him was that after Mazuru went to Soul Society, he actually slaughtered Central 46 and destroyed most of the residents of Noble Street.
Gin knew exactly what aristocratic power meant to the Soul Society.
At the beginning, Tokinada just slaughtered the Tsunayashiro clan, and the Central 46 was so furious that because of this, they even sent two captains to come deep into Hueco Mundo to hunt down and kill him.
Soul Society cared so much about the decisive battle against Aizen because Aizen slaughtered Central 46.
Right now, Mazuru had done even more excessive things, and had already met the basic conditions for creating the Ōken. If Mazuru succeeds, he could easily invade even the bedroom where the Spirit King lives.
The Soul Society would never let Mazuru go easily.
"Don't worry, I have my own plans."
"If you are worried, you better prepare for the upcoming battle."
"The Soul Society won't let me go, but similarly, they won't let you go either."
"I know this very well." Gin looked serious.
Back then, he chose to seek refuge with Aizen. After doing so many things against his will and gaining Aizen's trust, he realized that there was no turning back for him, even though his purpose was to deal with Aizen.
…
Time went by, and another month passed.
In the Soul Society, on one hand, the new Central 46 had not yet been formed.
On the other hand, after a period of screening, teams were gradually formed under the volunteering actions of many captains, vice-captains, and chief officers.
The combined name of all these teams was "Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force". Of course, the strength of this Expeditionary Force surpassed all previous Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Forces.
Because this unit was personally commanded by the Head-captain, Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni.
He personally participated in the last Karakura Town decisive battle due to the danger Aizen posed. Right now, Mazuru was even more harmful than Aizen. In order to prevent Mazuru from successfully creating Ōken, and to maintain the dignity of the Gotei 13, he would once again take action himself.
