A group of mysterious and powerful figures who had disappeared from history but were soon to return.
This information caused not only Aizen, but also Gin Ichimaru, Kaname Tōsen, Grimmjow and others present to stare with astonished expressions.
Aizen's face grew solemn as many thoughts rushed through his mind.
"Are you saying that people like Hui aren't just limited to one individual, but that many such people will soon appear?"
Aizen couldn't help but confirm with Jugram.
This news was so shocking that he couldn't help but wonder if he had misheard!
But this wasn't Aizen's fault. After all, this news had even startled Yhwach himself, making him uneasy.
"Yes, this information came directly from Hui's own mouth to our people. It cannot possibly be false."
Jugram confirmed with a serious expression.
"This truly is... chilling news."
Even Gin Ichimaru couldn't help but speak up. Although he had never directly confronted Hui, he clearly understood Hui's power.
This was someone who could defeat Aizen without giving him any chance to fight back, someone who could intimidate the entire Gotei 13 with his presence alone.
Just one such person was already impossible to ignore.
Let alone an entire group.
Gin Ichimaru couldn't imagine what the world would become when such a powerful group appeared.
Perhaps the world itself wouldn't change, but they would fall from their lofty positions because of these mysterious powerful existences.
From being high-ranking powerhouses to mere ants that could be crushed at will.
"It's precisely because these people are too powerful and mysterious that I've come here to join forces with you."
Jugram spoke, equally troubled by the thought of those who might return.
"I understand. Then how do you propose we work together? And since we're forming an alliance, shouldn't I know some information about my allies?"
Aizen nodded, agreeing to cooperate with Jugram.
"We will certainly share our information with you. However, as you know, I am not the leader of our side, merely an ordinary examiner.
"There is much information I am not authorized to disclose to outsiders. I need to apply to the organization, and only with their approval can I share this information with you."
Jugram continued his deception.
"However, we can first exchange intelligence, just as I told you about Hui's information earlier."
"Hehehe, that's fine. I do have some information about Hui, and since you've shared such shocking news with me, I'll tell you what I know about him as well."
Hearing this, Aizen replied without hesitation, generously sharing all the information he had collected about Hui's abilities with Jugram.
As for why he was so generous, it was naturally because Aizen had his own plans.
Aizen was not a person easily deceived. Jugram wanted to use Aizen and Hueco Mundo as vanguards to test Hui's strength.
But Aizen had similar intentions, he wanted to learn about the forces behind Jugram, to have Haschwalth's people confront Hui, and to let them make first contact with those returning from history.
Both sides had their own calculations.
"Good. Now I'll return to report to my superior. We'll contact you later regarding our cooperation."
After hearing all of Aizen's information about Hui, Jugram knew this was all Aizen had learned, and decided not to stay any longer.
He needed to report everything about this mission to Yhwach.
Moreover, he now had an idea.
Neither of them currently had a feasible method to deal with Hui.
Perhaps they could only face Hui in battle.
But they could certainly use Hueco Mundo and Aizen to deal with Soul Society.
Since their defeat a thousand years ago, the Quincy had gone into hiding, establishing the Wandenreich within Soul Society.
How could Yhwach be content with his defeat?
He had long planned to counterattack Soul Society, had been plotting it for some time, and was about to execute his plan.
Aizen, the ruler of Hueco Mundo, had defected from Soul Society. Jugram thought Aizen would also be interested in Soul Society.
Therefore, Jugram planned to manipulate Aizen and Hueco Mundo to first drain Soul Society's power, after which the Wandenreich would step in like a mantis catching a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
In truth, with the Wandenreich's strength, they didn't need Aizen and Hueco Mundo at all. They were fully capable of taking down Soul Society.
But after being intimidated by Hui, Jugram had changed his thinking.
Their enemies, it now seemed, weren't just the Shinigamis of Soul Society.
The more terrifying enemies were those mysterious figures like Hui, whom even Yhwach couldn't know or predict.
After those people returned, no one knew what they would do.
If someone like Hui, who only wanted an enjoyable battle, could so easily change the world's structure, then if one or two of those people wanted to rule the world, conflict with them would be inevitable.
Therefore, Jugram was now considering how to preserve the strength of their Wandenreich as much as possible.
"His stated purpose seemed more like a hastily fabricated lie than a mission he came with."
After Jugram left, Gin Ichimaru spoke up.
As someone with deep cunning and skilled at deception, he could see at a glance that much of what Jugram had just said was improvised falsehood.
"Was he lying? About those people returning from history?"
Grimmjow couldn't help but ask. He felt like his head was about to explode.
He had always been a proud person, believing his strength was unquestionable.
But after witnessing Hui's abilities, experiencing Aizen's powers, and seeing Jugram's capabilities, he was beginning to doubt his understanding of the world.
If a group of people as powerful as Hui were to return, Grimmjow couldn't imagine how he would ever fulfill his ambitions.
"No, regarding the information about people returning from the vanished history, he was not lying."
Aizen stated with certainty.
