When Sojiro heard Mazuru's words, he didn't take it seriously at first, until Mazuru mentioned Central 46 and the unfair system of Soul Society, he gradually showed thoughtfulness.
Then, Mazuru caught him off guard with a big news.
Of course Sojiro knew about the "Soul King" and even the Royal Family, but whether it was the Soul King or the Royal Family, they always seemed to be a legend, at least no one had seen them with their own eyes.
But the Great Nobles do exist.
They were the oldest families in the Soul Society.
It is said that they were close in blood to the Royal Family, and they were also relatives of each other.
From generation to generation, people with extraordinary spiritual power or outstanding abilities would take birth among them and would receive elite education.
They hold important positions, and their duty is to defend the majesty of the Royal Family.
But Mazuru said that the Five Great Nobles joined raised their hand against the Soul King?
Not only Sojiro, but Ulquiorra and Grimmjow who were following behind Mazuru were also a little curious.
"You said that the Five Great Nobles joined forces to do something to the Soul King. What do you mean?" Sojiro asked Mazuru again.
Mazuru said softly, "Originally, this matter is a secret. Even in the Soul Society, only the core members of the major nobles know about it. No, it should be said that even the core members of the major nobles do not necessarily know about it."
"After all, it is the sins of their ancestors."
"But since you asked, I'll talk about it."
Without first explaining the topic, Mazuru asked Sojiro another question, "In your opinion, what is the Soul King?"
Sojiro fell into thought pondering the answer.
Mazuru then interjected, "Is he a high-ranking king? Someone who controls the life and death of the Soul Society, the world of living, and the Hueco Mundo? He also has many nobles, the Zero Division, and Gotei 13 as thugs? If he wants to do something, he will let the thugs under his hands do things for him?"
In an understatement, Mazuru mentioned another division that Sojiro had never heard of, the Zero Division.
Sojiro realized that he really doesn't understand Soul Society as he did not doubt the authenticity of Mazuru's words.
"Actually that is not how it is."
"The so-called Soul King is nothing more than a puppet supported by the Five Great Nobles. Perhaps, he does have the power to do absolutely anything, but after he was backstabbed by the Five Great Nobles, he could only watch helplessly."
"The five, no, now it should be the Four Great Nobles who use his name to dominate the fate of all beings."
Because there was still some time, Mazuru began to popularize the truth about the Soul King to Sojiro and others.
"Things originated a long time ago. At that time, the whole world was a single world where there was no concept of life or death, neither progress nor regression. Even becoming hollow was part of the spiritual cycle, but hollows gradually began to devour human beings, and since then the cycle was completely stopped. If this continued, all souls would eventually be reduced to a huge Menos Grande, and the world will fall into a complete stillness…"
"At that time, the Soul King was born. The Soul King divided life and death and split the world into Three Realms. The world started its cycle again."
"However, this kind of world still did not satisfy the ancestors of the Five Great Nobles at that time. Although they each had their own ideas, one thing was common, they all thought of a method of stabilizing the Three Realms without losing anything themselves."
"The method they came up with was that they needed a wedge to stabilize the Three Realms, so they thought of Soul King."
"Some of them wanted to peacefully discuss this matter with the Soul King, and some were hesitant, but the ancestor of the Tsunayashiro family, which was the head of the Five Great Nobles at that time, was more straightforward. He chose to attack the Soul King and directly sealed the Soul King in a crystal."
"The other four people have seen things coming this point, could only help the ancestor of the Tsunayashiro family to use the power of the Soul King to completely balance the world and stabilize the flow of souls and the Three Realms."
"Since the sealing of the Soul King, the Five Great Nobles have set up a division called Zero Division, called Royal Family Secret Force or Royal Guards for short. In fact, it is only to guard the Soul King and maintain the stability of the Three Realms."
"After doing these things, they went to the Soul Society and enjoyed their achievements as vested interests. After all, "the world was thriving because of them", so their descendants, as well as those who were related to them, it was a matter of course to enjoy some privileges."
"Perhaps in some people's eyes, these nobles are corrupt and arrogant, but to them, this is the status and power they should have."
These things Mazuru learned from the memory of Tsunayashiro Tokinada, and it was precisely because of knowing these things that Tokinada scoffed at the nobles. After all, the nobles were essentially descendants of a despicable bunch of backstabbers.
It's a pity that Tokinada himself was not much better. While he despised the nobles, he used his status as a noble to do evil. If he had done evil without using his status as a nobleman, or even opposed the system of aristocratic rule, Mazuru might even give him a high look.
"How is that...?"
Although Sojiro was wearing a mask, the shock in his eyes and voice was hard to conceal.
It never occurred to him that the truth about the Soul Society, about the Soul King, and about the great nobles turned out to be like this.
Ulquiorra and Grimmjow next to them also learned about the origin of Hueco Mundo for the first time.
"It's really ironic."
Grimmjow sneered, "The Soul King created the Three Realms by himself, but all the benefits were taken away by the so-called Five Great Nobles and he himself was sealed and is being used till this day."
"Ironic indeed."
Mazuru does not deny this.
"It is precisely because Aizen discovered the truth about the Soul King that he became rebellious."
"Since the Soul King is a lie woven together by the great nobles, and the nobles have become rulers in essence using the name of the Soul King, then why can't he ascend to the top relying on his power and become the supreme king himself?"
"After all, except for a few nobles, most of the nobles are a bunch of low-strength trash. Aizen thinks very highly of himself, and his strength is really something to take pride on. It's fine if he doesn't know the truth. But after he came to know the truth, it is obviously impossible for him to be subservient to these low-lives."
Mazuru also talked about the real reason for which Aizen's chose to betray the Soul Society.
Sojiro who was still shocked, then asked Mazuru, "Although you let me know a lot of secrets, I still don't understand what your position is?"
"You still don't understand?" Mazuru asked with a sigh.
"What Aizen and I want to fight against has never been the Soul Society, not the shinigami, but the group of nobles who think highly of themselves despite lacking merit, and what we want to fight against is the system that has existed since the separation of the Three Realms."
"This world is rotten and pedantic, and we need a new world!"
