Death: Captain Millennium

"Actually, I still have something I want to thank you for. It's all thanks to you that you killed those old guys in Room 46. I've always disliked them."

Lin Yu felt that of all the things Aizen had done, this one was the most brilliant, greatly strengthening the power of the Gotei 13. If anyone wanted to elect a sage to reorganize the Forty-Six Chambers, he would be the first to oppose it. If anyone disagreed, he would draw his sword and reason with them, emphasizing the importance of winning people over with virtue.

"Captain Lin Yu, you've told me all this so that I can help you in the fight against Yhwach in the future, right? What are the terms of the exchange? If it's simply not to kill me, that's not enough."

Aizen has grasped Lin Yu's mind. If he wants to cooperate, he must show sincerity. He can't be convinced by just a few simple words.

"Sincerity?"

Lin Yu stood there quietly, his eyes lowered slightly, lost in deep thought. The momentary silence seemed to freeze the entire space. His mind unfolded like a scroll, constantly deducing the various possibilities between him and Aizen.

At this moment, Aizen was like a star hidden in the darkness in Lin Yu's eyes. Although its light had not yet fully bloomed, its potential power satisfied Lin Yu. From his performance in the Thousand Year Bloody Battle, it could be seen that he was a good helper.

In reality, Aizen's offer wasn't exactly harsh. His request to let him go was merely the bare minimum he felt in his heart. This man was always calculating, and his request was simply an attempt to extort more money from Lin Yu, to compensate for his current predicament.

He was very clear about his situation. Although Lin Yu in front of him looked approachable and spoke gently, who could guarantee that he would not suddenly explode and show his cold and ruthless side?

Aizen never really saw through Lin Yu, otherwise he wouldn't have been tricked like this by this old man.

Just like Tōsen Kaname twenty years ago, Lin Yu had killed him without hesitation. That scene was like a sharp dagger, constantly reminding Aizen that in this cruel world, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. And everything he did now was to save his own life and find a way to make a comeback.

"I can give you the Hougyoku and some Hueco Mundo members."

The conditions offered by Lin Yu are still very tempting.

"I already..."

Lin Yu interrupted Aizen before he could finish his words.

"Do you think they really submit to you?"

"Could it be..."

"Yes, it was my instruction that Bylergan and the others submit to you."

After hearing this, Aizen broke out in a cold sweat. Everything he did was actually controlled by this man. No wonder he sometimes felt a chill down his spine.

"You also have conditions, right? What do you want?"

Aizen forced himself to calm down and asked Lin Yu what he wanted. There is no free lunch in the world. Since the conditions are so generous, he will definitely ask for a return of equal value.

"We'll fight Yhwach together. You must promise that."

"can!"

"Hand over the incomplete soul of Matsumoto Rangiku."

Lin Yu's words made Ichimaru Gin tremble with excitement. The condition for his cooperation with Lin Yu was to retrieve Rangiku's soul. However, he was skeptical about this and did not fully trust Lin Yu.

"Yes! But her residual soul is already in the broken jade I created, and I may not be able to separate it."

Aizen was still very straightforward and agreed immediately.

"What other conditions are there?"

"Gone!"

"Gone?"

"you sure?"

"It's really gone!"

Aizen's face was completely distorted at this moment, as if being pulled by an invisible force, revealing the shock and astonishment that he could hardly suppress in his heart.

He never expected that Lin Yu would propose such a simple condition. This was completely beyond his expectations and made him a little overwhelmed for a moment.

"You really gave me a big surprise!"

Aizen suppressed the turmoil in his heart and uttered these words dryly, with a subtle tremor in his voice. His eyes flashed with a complex light, with both confusion about Lin Yu's behavior and some unknown vigilance.

Lin Yu stared at Aizen unashamedly as if he were a fool, his eyes revealing a condescending contempt, as if saying, "How can you be so ignorant? There are actually people who complain that the conditions are not enough. Are you mentally ill?" He raised his chin slightly, a faint sarcastic arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he felt disdain for Aizen's stupidity in his heart.

"If you think it's too little, shall I add some more conditions?"

Lin Yu said jokingly, with a hint of provocation in his words, as if deliberately irritating Aizen. He wanted to see how this guy would react when faced with more conditions, and whether he could still maintain that arrogant attitude.

"It's a deal! You give me the Broken Jade."

Aizen quickly interrupted and said, "Are you kidding? Who would complain that the conditions are too few? Are you crazy?"

"Give me the Hogyoku you created, and I will separate the soul of Matsumoto Rangiku."

Lin Yu will first get Rangiku's soul before he can cash in his bargaining chips. Caution is a must. It is better to be safe than sorry.

"You really don't want to blackmail me for this broken jade?"

Aizen looked at Lin Yu warily, fearing that he would swallow the Hougyoku.

"What nonsense! If you don't want to give it to me, then our deal is void. I will kill you right now and find the Broken Jade myself."

Lin Yu was about to draw the Zanpakuto from his waist, but Aizen's words were an insult to his personality!

Would he, Lin Yu, really be the kind of person who would allow others to slander him at will? No, absolutely not! His pride and self-esteem would never allow such a thing to happen.

"Okay! Okay! Okay! I'll give you the Broken Jade."

Aizen slowly took out the not-yet-fully-formed Hogyoku that he had created with his own hands from his arms, and then solemnly handed it to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu stared blankly at the broken jade in his hand, his eyes gleaming with a complex light. He gently stroked the surface of the broken jade with his fingers, feeling its unique texture and warmth. An inexplicable urge surged within him, a strong desire to merge the two broken jades into one, to claim it as his own, to make it a symbol of his supreme power.

This feeling was like a burning flame, blazing in his heart, burning brighter and brighter, almost devouring his sanity.

He shook his head vigorously, trying to wake himself up, but the urge was still there, constantly eroding his mind.

He couldn't help but secretly shudder. This ghost thing actually had such a powerful influence that it could easily control his will. It was really too weird! He had to remain vigilant and not be fooled by this broken jade.

Lin Yu took a deep breath, calmed down, and began to carefully identify the souls in the broken jade. He sensed the various auras and energies contained in the broken jade bit by bit, as if he had entered a mysterious world, surrounded by chaotic mist, and those souls were like ghosts hidden in the mist, looming.

He searched intently, not missing any tiny clues. Finally, he found the soul of Matsumoto Rangiku.

The soul exuded a faint sense of sadness, as if telling of her past experiences and her despair for the future. It would be strange if she didn't despair after being sealed in this damn thing!
