NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 56: Blasphemy!
"Now you understand why I dislike nobles so much."
Arima said to Aizen.
"The so-called nobles are just the descendants of a group of despicable people. Because their ancestors were despicable, the blood of sin flows in their bodies. It is not surprising that the nobles will create so much darkness."
"Although the truth of the past has long been buried due to the passage of time, as the vested interests at the beginning of the world, the nobles have long regarded themselves as the highest class in the world.
They enjoy privileges and despise the common people, even if they offend you and break the law, there will be no substantial punishment."
"Just because Central 46 itself is consisted of nobles."
"Soul Society's highest judicial institution never protects civilians, but protects the rights and interests of nobles!"
Aizen was silent.
At this time, although he knew that there was a lot of darkness among the nobles, he had not witnessed it with his own eyes, so he did not have much feelings for Arima's words.
It was what Arima said next that aroused his curiosity.
"Now that I have told you the truth about the world, let me show you the truth about the world."
"Although you lost in the battle with Sōya Kenpachi, in the current state you are in, you are still qualified to see some things."
As he spoke, he gently raised his hand and tapped his fingers on the void.
He saw an entrance appearing on the ground in front of him.
Arima's figure flashed away, using Shunpo, he disappeared into it.
Upon seeing this, Aizen did not hesitate and followed closely and stepped into it.
After entering it, Aizen found that the place was larger than he imagined.
"Master, where is this?"
"It's just a spiritual space that I created." Arima said casually.
Aizen shut up and looked forward again.
All that could be seen were a lot of experimental equipment in front of them.
What concerned Aizen the most was a rabbit.
The head has obviously been severed.
But it was unaware of it and did not die. Instead, it maintained its vitality in this strange state.
"Are you surprised?"
Arima's voice sounded in Aizen's ears, and Aizen came back to his senses inexplicably.
"This is the power of miracles!"
Arima told Aizen: "The head was severed. Logically speaking, this rabbit should definitely die. However, because of another force, it remained in this state and has not been able to die."
"Of course, it can't completely come back to life."
"It really surprised me." Aizen nodded. After the initial surprise, he gradually accepted the matter. Although he didn't understand why the master kept a dying rabbit in this state, But such a thing can be done with the help of some Kidō.
Then, he heard the master say: "This rabbit has been in this state for a long time."
"This is the power of stillness!"
"This power comes from...the Soul King!"
What the Soul King is, is no longer a secret to Aizen now.
Arima had already told him the truth about the world before.
This world was created by the ancestors of the five nobles with the help of the Soul King.
Unexpectedly, the master actually retained the power of the Soul King.
Arima explained the cause of the matter again, "In the ancient years, the ancestors of the five great nobles used the power of the Soul King to open up the world today, but because the Soul King was too powerful, they were worried that the Soul King would recover.
That he would come back and get revenge on them.
If the Soul King rebels, the world created by them will also be destroyed."
"For this reason, they used special means to dismember the Soul King."
"The remains of the Soul King were scattered all over the world during this process. These powers have all separated from the bodies of the spiritual kings. They only left behind the power that can keep the world in balance and stability."
"But the Soul King is the Soul King after all. He is the cornerstone of this world. He is an existence that is infinitely close to omniscience and omnipotence. The power contained in his fragments scattered around the world has not dissipated, but has been retained."
"Among them, some fragments are integrated into the newly born souls during the cycle of souls, and some are hidden in various parts of the world."
"This is how I found a fragment of the Soul King by chance. It originated from the Soul King's right arm, and the power possessed by the Spirit King's right arm is - stillness!"
Aizen's breathing became rapid.
When he heard the truth about the world, he didn't feel anything. Until he saw the truth about the world with his own eyes, the inner shock was hard to describe in words.
He looked at the power that enveloped the decapitated rabbit in front of him with a look that admired a beautiful piece of art.
The power of the Soul King's right arm, the power of stillness?
In the past, it only existed in the classics, and the power of the almighty king appeared before his eyes.
Aizen rarely felt a sense of awe.
His curiosity arose again, and he couldn't help but have the idea to study this power and understand it.
But in the end, Aizen still restrained himself.
He turned his head and looked at his master seriously.
He thought that his master was an extremely powerful being, and for some reasons, he was willing to be a calligraphy teacher at Spiritual Arts Academy. But now it seems that is not the case.
At first, when he discovered what Kenpachi had done to the whole soul, he thought Kenpachi was the villain, so he wanted to stop Kenpachi.
Later, he gained insight into Kenpachi's inner pursuit, and found that this was not the case.
But at this moment, Aizen suddenly realized that his master was the real villain.
He was secretly studying the Soul King.
Let's not mention the truth about the Soul King and the truth about the world for now.
At least on the surface, the Soul King is the ruler of the entire world, with a high status, like a god.
"Master, you are blaspheming!"
Aizen said to Arima in a complicated tone.
Then he said: "You told me all these things and brought me here. Aren't you afraid that I will reveal all the things you have done?"
"Master, you trust me too much, don't you?"
Aizen's eyes met Arima's.
The two masters and apprentices looked at each other seriously for the first time, as if there were some cracks.
