One morning half a month later, sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains into a bedroom in the Aozaki Family mansion.
Aozaki slowly opened his eyes from the soft, large bed and sat up, still groggy with sleep.
His gaze passed through the window, as if it could penetrate walls and glass, seeing the world outside.
Outside the window, the sunlight seemed a bit dimmer than usual, but it was still warm and pleasant.
The green grass on the lawn swayed gently with the wind, and the vibrant flowers also swayed along, as if showcasing their beauty to people.
In the courtyard, several maids in neat uniforms could be seen busy, pruning flowers and plants or cleaning, and they would probably come to call him for breakfast soon.
Aozaki recalled his experiences during this period; ever since he absorbed Gerard, suppressed hell, and became Captain-Commander, his confidence was now overflowing.
The previous rule that maids were not allowed to enter the core areas of the Aozaki Family had been abolished; apart from the underground laboratory, all other areas had their restrictions lifted.
Because, other than the underground laboratory, there were indeed no secrets the Aozaki Family needed to hide; his gossip had long since spread far and wide.
Moreover, as everyone's vacation time became more flexible, Hisana's workload indeed grew larger, making it very necessary to find help.
Sunlight spilled into the room, forming patches of golden light.
By the bed, a blonde beauty could vaguely be seen sound asleep, and behind her were various other girls, all immersed in their dreams.
"Indeed, like husband, like wife… No, I work day and night; they are the lazy ones."
Aozaki looked at the group of lazybones on the bed and muttered to himself, seemingly having completely forgotten who was responsible for things turning out this way.
He habitually reached out to gently cover the women with the quilt, then carefully got out of bed, put on his clothes, tiptoed to the door, opened it, and left the room.
Next, he went to the bathroom, and after washing up, walked towards the living room.
During this time, he had spent over half a month of joyful time with the girls.
As Captain-Commander, it was not difficult for him to decide to give his subordinates a vacation, and he also took a vacation for himself along the way.
He felt it was wonderful to give himself a vacation, approve it, and still get paid.
However, his only regret was that he had issued an order half a month ago, requesting all female Shinigami to change their uniforms to miniskirts.
But this request was mercilessly rejected by Aizen.
He had always found it hard to let go of this matter, and even began to doubt whether it was the right decision to let Aizen serve as his Vice-Captain in the first place.
But in the end, between miniskirts and Aizen, he still chose Aizen.
"Friends like me are truly rare in this world."
The sun in the sky remained brilliant, and the moon at night would rise on time.
Apart from communicating with Nemu and Nanao Ise, who reported to him daily, Aozaki rarely interacted with the outside world.
However, he lived a very fulfilling life.
In his daily life, he would take time to cook delicious food and invite everyone to taste his culinary skills.
The rest of the time was spent exercising his Creation Power and strengthening his relationships with the girls.
Every morning before seven o'clock, he would always go to sleep on time, then wake up half an hour later, living a very regular life.
"It's because of Aizen; even I've become a good student."
Aozaki clasped his hands behind his head and simply stared at the ceiling.
Since the crisis of the Three Worlds' destruction was temporarily resolved, he finally had enough time to ponder some important questions.
First, Creation Power was extremely powerful.
He pulled out a blue-black jade bead from his pocket; this was not Michibane Aura's experimental product, but something he had personally created.
Since it was a high-precision Souls aggregate, and fragments of the Soul King could not be directly created, he usually used this item as a tool for practicing skills.
Aozaki squeezed it with a little force, and with a crisp sound, the entire jade bead instantly shattered, turning into a faint mist that dissipated into the air.
Although this method was somewhat useful, its actual effect was negligible.
He sighed helplessly, thinking that relying on creating objects to train his abilities seemed unfeasible.
His perseverance in training was quite good, recognized by many people.
If repeated practice could lead to improvement, he would probably be so engrossed in mass-producing Hōgyoku every day that he would forget to eat and sleep.
But the efficiency was simply too low; it was not worth putting too much effort into it at all.
"Hmm, as the power to create all things, is it really necessary to understand the essence of everything?"
"So, can it be assumed that when creating an object, I should imbue it with its essence and power, rather than merely imitating external things?"
Aozaki murmured to himself, suddenly remembering a Quincy kid.
Golemmy Thoumeaux, a member of the Wandenreich's Sternritter.
His Schrift was "V", meaning Visionary, and his ability was to instantly turn the imagination in his mind into reality.
This ability was quite formidable; he could create things out of thin air and make these items possess their proper power and functions.
However, this ability also had limitations: it could only create things in Golemmy Thoumeaux's mind and could not destroy or transform objects out of thin air, unless the object was created by his imagination.
Even so, this ability was still very powerful.
However, due to its danger and significant influence, Golemmy Thoumeaux had always been imprisoned in a cage sealed by Yhwach with a special barrier.
In other words, he had almost no opportunity to delve into the essence of those creations, yet he could still make them possess the power they should have.
This gave Aozaki inspiration; he felt that perhaps he should not be fixated on how to create the world, but rather on what kind of world to create.
However, although he had this idea, how to implement it was still being explored.
Secondly, when his double pupils became triple pupils, his precognitive abilities improved further, finally touching the threshold of Omnipotent and Omniscient.
Omnipotent and Omniscient means knowing everything in the world and being able to change the future.
And the key to it lies in "knowing."
Only by first understanding can change be achieved.
"However, the Schrift abilities are truly like cheating; they can be used directly without needing any training."
Learning and application were two completely different stages; even with these two super powerful abilities, Aozaki still felt no satisfaction.
Frankly, even with a slight hint of arrogance, if these two abilities could be properly exploited, they would undoubtedly make Aozaki a god-like existence.
However, currently, he has not even been able to apply these abilities in actual combat.
"I still need to keep exploring; once I master these two abilities, won't I be able to do whatever I want, whenever I want?"
Aozaki stroked his chin, nodding and pacing back and forth in the hallway.
After repeated thought, he came to a conclusion:
Yhwach must be eliminated first!
As long as that guy is alive, he will always pose a threat.
Although the threat to himself is not great, it is a huge danger to those around him.
Thinking of this, he released his hand and then clenched it tightly, his heart already impatient.
