"Aozaki Reiji, I've seen everything you've done."
Azashiro's voice echoed in the air, filled with deep condemnation and displeasure.
"You colluded with Aizen, playing with fire, and massacred civilians and Shinigami for your own selfish desires."
His tone grew harsher, as if he were judging a criminal.
"The former Captain-Commander always strived to set aside personal emotions and become a cog in the Soul Society's operation, but he changed because of your appearance."
"The Gotei 13 is already like this; if I let you continue to run rampant, you will sooner or later bring disaster to the Soul Society and disrupt the order of the Three Realms."
His warning resonated like an alarm bell throughout the entire space.
However, Aozaki Reiji merely scoffed, dismissing Azashiro's accusations with disdain.
He mocked him, saying:
"The Old Man wasn't a proper person to begin with, so don't make it sound like I led him astray."
"And you say I massacred civilians and Shinigami for my own selfish desires?"
"It's truly impressive how you can say such things without batting an eye!"
"You yourself wanted to modify the civilians of Rukongai and turn them into biological weapons."
"And you still have the nerve to accuse me?"
"I have to say, your skin is really thick."
Aozaki Reiji mercilessly exposed Azashiro's hypocrisy and selfishness.
"You're wrong. I didn't act out of selfish desire; eliminating Hollows is simply fulfilling my duty as a Shinigami."
Azashiro slowly shook his head, speaking in a calm tone, as if merely stating a simple fact.
Aozaki Reiji sneered, waving his hand dismissively, and retorted:
"You can lie to yourself with that, but don't you think it's too foolish to try and lie to me?"
"Shinigami exist to maintain the stability of the Three Realms, and eliminating Hollows is for that purpose."
"But you want to completely eliminate Hollows using modified weapons. No matter how you look at it, that goes against this principle, doesn't it?"
"Your actions wouldn't even be approved by the Soul King."
After a moment of silence, Aozaki Reiji suddenly spoke:
"Let me think. Although you refuse to admit it, in reality, you're doing this for your deceased sister, aren't you?"
Azashiro stiffened, a flicker of imperceptible pain crossing his face, but he quickly regained his composure.
"You saw your most beloved sister die because of a Hollow, so you want to eliminate all Hollows, right?"
Aozaki Reiji pressed on, mercilessly revealing the deepest wound in Azashiro's heart.
Azashiro said coldly:
"Beloved? Revenge? I don't need such useless emotions."
"Doing everything possible to eliminate Hollows is simply what I, as a Shinigami, should do."
"As for my plan, I've thought about it for a long time during my years in Muken."
"Why doesn't Reio-sama approve of my plan?"
"And now, I finally understand."
"I've realized my mistake and have a brand new plan. This time, there will be no problems."
Aozaki Reiji chuckled softly:
"Oh, tell me about it. As your brother-in-law, I'll reluctantly be your audience for once."
"That woman isn't my sister."
Hearing this, Azashiro frowned in displeasure but didn't dwell on the issue.
With a serious expression, he said in a low voice:
"Hollows are fallen human Souls."
"Various negative emotions cause holes in human Souls, making them fall into Hollows."
"As long as the root cause of Hollows exists, Hollows will never be completely eliminated!"
"Even if I take my modified biological weapons to Hueco Mundo and kill all the Hollows, it won't truly solve the problem."
"As long as human desires exist, Hollows will continuously appear."
"Doing so not only fails to achieve the goal of completely eradicating Hollows but also causes countless innocent Souls to sacrifice themselves in vain. It is indeed a wrong approach."
"So, ultimately, to completely eliminate Hollows, the key lies with humanity itself."
"Only by starting from the root cause of Hollows can we find a true solution to this problem."
After hearing Azashiro's words, Aozaki Reiji's eyes deepened, as if recalling some past events.
He quietly asked, "So… you plan to target humans?"
Aozaki Reiji vaguely remembered that this man seemed to have a crazy idea.
"You're right."
Azashiro nodded, saying confidently, "I've already figured out a way to eradicate Hollows and balance the number of Souls in both the Soul Society and the Human World."
"You seem to have been to the Human World. I wonder if you've heard of the medical field of spiritual surgery there."
"If you don't know, you can go to the modern studies class at Shin'o Academy and listen to a lecture."
I finally get to live the adult life I've dreamed of, and you want me to go back to school for classes?
Aozaki Reiji curled his lip in disdain, clearly not taking Azashiro's suggestion to heart.
Azashiro didn't mind and continued:
"In the medical field of spiritual surgery, there is one of the most representative surgeries: prefrontal lobotomy."
"This is a medical technique that attempts to treat mental conditions by excising a part of the brain."
"The method I thought of is similar to this."
"It involves modifying a part of modern human brains and Souls to eliminate all mental factors that cause people to transform into Hollows."
"Once completed, no one will be sent to hell after death in the future…"
"Changing the essence of humans through external means, are they still human?"
Aozaki Reiji asked sarcastically.
"Well… what humans become isn't my business anyway. Saving the world is a high schooler's job."
"But I'm very curious why you're telling me something so important."
"Aren't you afraid I'll tell others and ruin your plan before it even begins?"
Azashiro said unhurriedly:
"Because I need your help. We can cooperate, Aozaki Reiji."
"Just let me out of here, and use the ability of that Arrancar woman you brought to the Soul Society."
"In just one year, I can modify all humans in the Human World."
"I know that although you are ruthless, you are not heartless. You have a very good relationship with the Captain-Commander."
"Don't you want to create a better Soul Society for the Captain-Commander?"
"Consider it atonement for your past actions, and let's work together to create a more perfect world."
However, Aozaki Reiji remained unmoved.
The Arrancar woman's ability…
He immediately realized that Azashiro was referring to Roka.
Aozaki Reiji had only brought her, an Arrancar, to the Soul Society so far.
And she possessed an ability called "Antimembrane Thread," which was born from Szayelaporro's experiments.
She could connect with various substances through Antimembrane Thread, sharing spiritual power and information.
Szayelaporro had once attempted to use this ability.
To disperse and preserve his memories on every blade of grass and tree in Hueco Mundo.
To achieve the goal of being able to revive even after death.
However, this research had not yet gotten on track when he was slain by Aozaki Reiji.
At that point, his dream of pursuing immortality was completely shattered.
Although Aozaki Reiji could no longer clearly recall the original plot, he could still roughly deduce Azashiro's intentions.
It was nothing more than wanting to use Roka's Antimembrane Thread to further enhance his own fusion ability.
With his current strength, it would take at least one hundred thousand days to complete the modification of the entire Human World.
But according to his own words, with Roka's power, this time could be shortened to one year!
"Atonement? Sorry, I have no regrets about what I've done, nor have I ever considered atonement."
Aozaki Reiji calmly replied:
"By the way, the Old Man is old now, and he loves to talk about things like 'great justice' and 'righteousness'."
"What you want to do sounds noble, but in a Japanese anime, it's definitely villainous behavior. The Old Man would absolutely never agree to it."
