Chapter 146: Auswählen
Soken's situation is like a fish on a chopping board. Even if Soken was unwilling, after he fell into Aizen's hands, he had no choice but to assist Aizen in the experiment.
Although Mazuru mentioned the quincy's hollowfication experiment in front of Aizen earlier but after capturing Soken, Aizen didn't plan to do that. After all, Soken is the last pure-blooded quincy in the world of living, and Aizen hastily hollowfied him, it will only pollute the pure quincy blood in his body.
So, while Soken was still in a daze, Aizen just took a few tubes of blood from him and left. Watching Aizen leave, Soken couldn't help but look at Mazuru again.
"You guys are shinigami right...and this place, if I'm not mistaken, it seems to be Hueco Mundo...You guys, what exactly do you want to do?"
The Soul Society massacred the quincies two hundred years ago, coupled with the battle a thousand years ago, there is a deep hatred between the quincy and the shinigami, but Soken is not someone who judges the present based on the past, as long as his family and human beings in the world of living are safe and well protected by the Soul Society, it doesn't matter even if the quincy masters no longer exist.
(T.L Note: Doesn't exist not only means dying but can also refer to abandoning the quincy powers like Ryuken)
However, today Soken thought he had discovered something bizarre. Shinigami from the Soul Society, and two captains at that, appeared in Hueco Mundo, and from their behavior, it is obviously not on orders from the Soul Society, but on their own initiative. Soken felt that an undercurrent is lurking in the dark.
Mazuru did not respond to Soken's words, but examined the last pure-blooded quincy. The reason why he is said to be the last pure-blooded quincy is because his son Ryuken gave up the powers of quincy master (actually didn't), the second is because his grandson Ishida Uryuu is a mix-blooded quincy. Originally Kurosaki Masaki was also a pure-blooded quincy, but because of being eroded by the hollow "White", her blood has become unpure.
"Is this the extent of a pure-blooded quincy's strength? Even if you're old, you shouldn't be in a desperate situation just by facing five Gillians."
