Chapter 1490.1: Silver Hair
— What do you want to achieve by working with me?
Aizen, of course, saw that Su Xiao had shown his sincerity in this conversation. Given the situation, he wouldn't immediately reject Su Xiao. Moreover, he was very interested in the spirit ball with 500 purity points.
— Su Xiao hesitated for a moment and shook his head. — I'm not sure what I can get right now, but at least this way I won't get another enemy that I need to eliminate." Your goal is to overthrow the current ruler of Seireitei, and mine is to obtain the spirit swords. We don't interfere with each other. On the contrary, if I help you, I can get more spiritual swords. Of course, if you want me to help you, I must get an equivalent amount of spirit swords in return.
— Indeed, our goals do not contradict each other. We don't need to be enemies.
The killing intent in Aizen's eyes disappeared. On the contrary, he now saw Su Xiao as a good ally.
First, Su Xiao's background was questionable. Aizen himself was considered a "good guy", so Su Xiao's" bad "aura and his unknown background were truly bad labels for him ,a "good guy".
If only Su Xiao was a simple person of unknown origin with such an unpleasant aura, and he also discovered Aizen's true identity…
Aizen would definitely get rid of Su Xiao as quickly as he could, but Su Xiao was a scholar, and in Aizen's eyes, both the soul potion and the spirit ball were truly ingenious inventions.
As the future leader of the rebel army, no, as the future great enemy of the entire Soul Society, Aizen wouldn't reject scholars, especially those as valuable as Su Xiao. Instead of conflict, he would try to win them over, or simply take control of them.
Before Su Xiao arrived at the sixth Squad's base, he accidentally met Aizen. Of course, this wasn't a random encounter at all. He wanted to use the Suigetsu Kyoka to take control of Su Xiao and add him to his forces.
When he realized that his hypnosis hadn't worked, the first thing he wanted to do was get rid of Su Xiao. He wouldn't have been able to accept such an unstable factor, but because of this conversation, Aizen started to hesitate. Killing Su Xiao was indeed the safest choice, but such a move would bring him too little benefit.
And Aizen was quite proud, and that was one of his few flaws.
After calculating all the risks, Aizen decided to talk to him first, and now he had given up on the idea of killing Su Xiao at all, because it seemed like it would be very difficult to carry out such a thing, and his suspicions only increased after they left the vicinity of the sixth squad base.
— This is my sword. It's not really a spiritual sword, but it has all the properties that spiritual swords have, " Along with these words, a Dragon Flash appeared in Su Xiao's hand.
Since joining the Soul Society, he had never shown any shinigami a Dragon Flash before.
After showing off his sword, Su Xiao took out a piece of parchment.
— My sword has only one property-restriction.
— A restriction? Aizen asked, not quite sure what he meant by that, since it was too vague a description.
— Yes, he restricts me, for example, once, for the power he gave me, he took half of my heart for himself, the left half of my heart became the price for my current strength — " as soon as he said that, the Dragon Flash suddenly disappeared from Su Xiao's hands. — Don't think it was a good exchange. Because of this exchange, I ended up getting weaker, but this is the price for gaining all this power. If I want to become stronger than Yamamoto, then I will have to give up what I desire with all my heart at the moment.
Aizen understood the first half of what Su Xiao said, but he wasn't quite sure about the second part.
Naturally, all this was said intentionally. Right now, Su Xiao's brain was fully functioning. Not only did he need to fool Aizen, but he also needed to tell him about an ability that basically couldn't exist.
This ability was supposed to be just a prelude.
As for why he came up with such an ability in the first place, it was all for the sake of making a collaboration with Aizen.
Could someone form an alliance with Aizen through a small conversation? It even sounds ridiculous. He would have ended up with Tousen's fate, if not worse.
Even if Aizen agreed to cooperate with Su Xiao right now, once he decided to leave the Soul Society, Aizen would definitely get rid of Su Xiao as quickly as possible.
People like Aizen didn't allow anyone or anything to be out of his control for a long time.
So Su Xiao had to dig a huge cesspool and make Aizen jump into it with his nose pinched. If he doesn't jump in, he'll be in trouble. Even if things didn't go according to his plan, he was still immune to the fine.
After listening to Su Xiao, Aizen vaguely felt that something was wrong, but by that time, they had already entered the territory of the first squad's base.
