Chapter 254: The King and His Steed
"That's quite ruthless, Masatsuki."
Aizen gazed at the man before him, his expression unreadable.
The blade in Masatsuki Aozaki's hand had cut down his former friend without the slightest hesitation.
Aizen's eyes were unnervingly cold, as if he had long foreseen this outcome.
"But you don't seem as calm as you look."
Masatsuki raised an eyebrow, his gaze falling on Aizen's body, which was gradually being enveloped in white Reiatsu.
Aizen was evolving—proof that his heart was far less composed than his demeanor suggested.
"How interesting. You understand exactly what's happening to me."
Aizen slowly lifted his hand, examining it closely, a hint of barely restrained excitement creeping into his voice.
"So, you really did complete that as well. No wonder Kyōka Suigetsu had no effect on you. It seems you've already reached the next stage of evolution."
A faint smirk played on Aizen's lips, as if pleased by this revelation.
