Chapter 2727 The 'Pillar Man' Who Made Aizen's Heart Flutter!

"Low temperature."

Aizen's words made Joseph fall into deep thought.

It depends on one's own conditions and environment.

The only solution he could think of was to lure the 'pillar man' into a scene resembling a cold storage room.

Then use pre-prepared dry ice to quickly freeze it.

However, the operation is too difficult and requires the cooperation of manpower and resources.

Even if all of this is ready.

Even a 'pillar man' with extraordinary learning ability and intelligence might be able to see it.

at the same time.

Aizen continued, "Similarly, high temperatures are also a method worth trying."

"Secondly, it concerns the soul."

"You said they can enter other people's bodies and control or devour them."

"This means that their bodies and consciousness are very closely integrated."

"If it were possible to forcibly separate their souls from their bodies, or to directly influence their will."

"Then no matter how strong the body is, it's just an empty shell."

"Third, regarding space."

"If it really cannot be killed, then banish it to a space from which there is no return, or seal it in a state of stillness."

Joseph, Subaru, and Perona were all stunned.

"Hey, hey, hey, you make it sound so easy!"

Joseph spread his hands, his face full of helplessness: "Low temperature and high temperature are indeed methods worth considering."

"But it requires too much in terms of conditions, planning, operation, and even luck."

"As for things like soul stripping and spatial sealing..."

"You, the 'Grim Reaper,' might actually be able to do it, but I don't have that ability."

"You really had a hard time doing that before."

Aizen paid no attention to his complaints and doubts.

He still maintained that composed, confident, gentle, and profound demeanor.

"But you are now a member of the Council of Stars."

“They can definitely get help from people like us.”

"As mentioned before, members of this council can trade goods with each other."

Aizen explained, "So while we can't directly help you fight, we can provide you with items and resources that your world doesn't have."

Joseph's eyes lit up, and his shrewdness immediately came through.

"Yeah, you're a Grim Reaper, you should have the legendary Grim Reaper's scythe. How about I borrow it so I can take down those 'Pillar Men'!"

"Don't tell me I don't have one. Even if I did have a similar weapon, I wouldn't be able to use it."

Aizen immediately shattered the illusion that had just formed in his mind.

"And it's not free."

"This is a deal."

"You need to come up with something that interests us."

"Tch, so stingy~"

Joseph pursed his lips and touched his entire body.

"I'm wearing pajamas and have nothing on me."

"By the way, weren't you guys interested in Ripple Qi Gong?"

"Even though you need to figure it out yourself by studying my breathing rhythm, it's still a contribution, isn't it?"

"Ripple Qigong is indeed a good thing."

Aizen nodded in agreement: "But it's not enough yet, but you don't need to rush."

"You can give us any special items you find later that you think are valuable. For now, let's help you get through this difficult time."

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Perona and Subaru Natsuki.

Is there anything you can offer?

Subaru Natsuki was the first to raise his hand, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

He was happy that he could help the other members of parliament.

"If you need something that can be produced at low or high temperatures, I have a way!"

"On the continent of Osara where I live, there are magic crystals that can store magic power."

“I can have Emilia infuse it with fire-attribute magic from ice magic.”

"Please ask Count Roswaal to create a trigger device that can be used by those without magic power."

"Just use it as a hand grenade when the time comes."

"Yo—"

As soon as Natsuki Subaru finished speaking, Joseph whistled excitedly.

Although he had never seen magic or magic crystals, he could understand their function.

"It's like carrying a liquid nitrogen bomb around, right?"

"cool!"

"If I had had this when I was driving the Santana, I wouldn't have almost died at the bottom of the well!"

"Horo horo horo—"

“Me too! Me too!” Perona chimed in, not to be outdone.

"I can get you a Nichirin Blade!"

Perona proudly introduced, "This is a weapon that contains solar energy!"

"I think it should work on those 'Pillar Men' too, right?"

A knife containing solar energy?

Joseph's eyes widened in surprise.

"If this thing is used in conjunction with 'Ripple,' wouldn't it be able to slice through a 'Santana' like butter?!"

"Indeed, the Ripple Qi Gong and the Nichirin Blade are very compatible."

Aizen, seated in the Gemini seat, nodded in approval.

"Because the solar energy of the Nichirin Blade is real."

"It will most likely cause irreversible petrification of the 'Pillar Man's' wounds."

"Perona, you can bring her next time so Joseph can see her."

Perona readily agreed: "Okay~"

Joseph, sitting next to her, looked at her expectantly and asked, "Can you customize other styles? Because I'm not very good with knives."

"Sure, but it has to be custom-made at the Tiangong Institute."

Perona chuckled and joked, "It's not far, just in Udon Village on Wanoka Island, it's just a matter of cost."

Joseph immediately agreed: "Of course I'll pay. How much do you need?"

"Horo horo horo~"

"Hey, I was just kidding, I have that much money."

"Besides, we use Baili here; your world's currency is useless~"

"And I want to learn your Ripple Qi Gong, so let's consider this a deal."

Perona sat cross-legged on her seat with her legs bent and arms wrapped around her knees, and smiled with her eyes narrowed.

She was once a princess of the Kingdom of Kraigana.

Although it's not the same now, the family is still wealthy, and all they have is a custom-made Nichirin sword.

"So what kind do you want?"

"Oh my god, you are an angel!"

Joseph vividly and exaggeratedly praised the girl's kindness and friendliness.

He then shared his thoughts.

"I'm good at all kinds of magic tricks, so I like to use things like cards, strings, and steel balls."

"Therefore, the best weapons are strings or whips. Of course, steel balls and cards can also be used for throwing."

Perona nodded as she wrote it down:

"You can do magic? I see. The Academy of Crafts should be able to make your ideas come true."

“Hawkins told me that the artisans there are masters from all over the world.”

"By the way, do you know how to play with a yo-yo?"

After patiently waiting for the two to finish their conversation, Aizen turned his attention to himself.

"My things don't need to wait until the next meeting."

He immediately took out a simple, red half-finger glove with a skull pattern engraved on it.

"This is the 'Enlightenment Gauntlet'."

"It can forcibly separate a creature's soul from its body."

"In other words, if you hit a 'Pillar Man' while wearing it, you might be able to temporarily force his soul out of his body."

"This might have unexpected effects on those that rely on physical control."

"What?"

"Force your soul out of your body!"

Joseph stared wide-eyed at the Goku Soul Gauntlet in front of Aizen.

Perona and Subaru Natsuki were also full of surprise.

This thing is so powerful that it's no exaggeration to call it a divine artifact when used to fight living beings.

Just one contact is enough to render the other person's body and soul devoid of their will, leaving them completely at the mercy of others.

Most living beings' souls have no ability to interfere with the material world.

Then he could only watch helplessly as the other party did whatever they wanted to him.

I never expected that the first item Aizen took out would be something so terrifying.

But judging from his expression, he seemed completely unconcerned.

Aizen pushed up his reflective glasses and said calmly, "In return, I hope you can bring me the body of a 'Pillar Man'. I am very interested in studying this kind of creature."

The Council of Stars cannot trade anything that possesses a soul and life.

However, the 'Pillar Man' who has had his soul stripped away and has been petrified meets the criteria.

This made Aizen somewhat tempted.
