A brief silence fell over the scene.
"It seems Aizen really suffered a great loss this time," Daigo Madoka said thoughtfully.
"No!" Sawada Tsunayoshi said seriously, "Perhaps the truth is that Aizen drew something incredibly powerful! You could even say it's a bug-level drug... but he doesn't want the council members to know about it, so he's putting on this show of rejection?"
“Considering Aizen’s personality, this is very likely.” Saeko Busujima nodded in agreement.
"Are you guys trying to make a mille-feuille?" Su Han muttered to himself. You think Aizen is on the third layer, but actually he's on the first or fifth layer?
"So, why not ask someone who might know?" Rick glanced at the crowd with some doubt, then turned his gaze to Number Ten.
Upon seeing this, Su Han raised an eyebrow slightly.
He naturally knew what Aizen had drawn, since he had also received it the moment Aizen obtained it.
After a moment's consideration, he still controlled Number Ten to speak. This wasn't really a private matter; there was nothing to hide.
"A love potion from a strange world. It can even affect beings of Boros's caliber, Accelerator... When used, it puts them in a state of heat, and during this process, they completely lose their minds!"
The Hall of Mist fell completely silent. The council members looked at each other, speechless, some even wondering if they had misheard. The atmosphere suddenly became extremely awkward.
"Is it the love potion I imagined?" Weber's voice was dry. Although it sounded very potent, no matter how potent it was... the nature of this stuff was still quite intriguing...
"I didn't expect Aizen to have really been tricked. No wonder he fled in such a hurry before." The Drunken Sword Immortal muttered. "But thinking about it, it makes sense. That guy is just smart! Not really lucky... He's not even the chosen one of his own world."

------------
Chapter 487 Using this as a starting point to deduce... the Speaker's true thoughts! A chilling thought.
"I actually think... this is something to be happy about!" Conan's lips curled into a smile.
"If you're so capable, try saying that in front of Aizen." Sakata Gintoki rolled his eyes.
After Aizen left, what good is it? If you're a man, fight him head-on.
Conan glanced speechlessly at Sakata Gintoki. He must have gone mad to deliberately offend Aizen... Normally, everyone is wary of Aizen, so it's nothing unusual.
But deliberate targeting is a different matter altogether...
"I have a feeling this drug is dangerous! He wouldn't use it recklessly, would he... No, Aizen doesn't seem like the type to use drugs recklessly." Fan Xian suddenly realized.
"But Aizen might conduct his own research! What if he ends up making a mess of things... that would be really interesting." Sakata Gintoki clicked his tongue. If it was useful to Accelerator and Boros, would it be useful to Aizen as well?
"Aizen, why would you research this?" Sawada Tsunayoshi asked, somewhat puzzled. He felt that the love potion and Aizen's art style were completely incompatible.
“Essentially, this love potion can also be considered a weapon.” Conan pushed up his glasses, his expression somewhat serious. “Think about it, if it were on a battlefield, in a battle where the forces were evenly matched… Aizen suddenly fed this to the opponent.”
"Then, theoretically, the opponent will go into heat... During this process, the opponent will lose the will to fight... In this way, Aizen can easily defeat his opponent."
“Yes! Weapons and medicines can all be useful as long as you know how to use them.” Feng Yuan nodded in deep agreement.
After a brief silence, Rukia Kuchiki nodded slightly. Having confirmed that Aizen would definitely research, and even consider, mass production... she decided that she should stay away from Aizen for the foreseeable future.
"But then again, Aizen has somehow managed to subdue Urahara Kisuke and force him to work on the project together! In other words, it's very likely they'll be working on it together this time too, right? What if something goes wrong and they accidentally break the bottle..."
Rukia Kuchiki suddenly felt a chill run down her spine and quickly shook off her jumbled thoughts. The scene was too beautiful... she couldn't bear to imagine it.
Of course, Rukia Kuchiki knew very well that there was a high chance something bad would happen... After all, Aizen was too cautious by nature...
On the other side, Tony Stark glanced at the random star in the sky with a complicated expression, sighed, and finally used his evil god power on his dual-color Haki.
Having learned from Aizen's example... he should focus his Jashin power on what would best enhance his strength...
Rick tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest, and after a moment's thought, he succinctly summarized his thoughts.
"In short, if you want to become stronger rapidly in a short period of time, you can use that star. Or, if you are confused about your future, you can do the same... But if you have a plan for your points, then forget it... Is that right?"
“Yes!” Asuna Yuuki said softly, “It’s similar to gambling with gacha mechanics, there might be unexpected surprises! But don’t take it too seriously.”
The Ancient One stared intently at the Random Star, remaining silent for a long, long time before finally giving Su Han a deep look.
"...Master, what is this?" Ah Xing keenly noticed the change in the Ancient One's gaze and immediately spoke with some confusion.
"It's nothing, I was just thinking about those worlds from earlier... and I had some insights," the Ancient One said frankly.
“One…world after another? Wait a minute.” Ilya realized what was happening, her expression changing drastically. She asked urgently, “Teacher, are you saying that those illusory world projections we just saw were actually all real?”
“That’s normal. If it weren’t for that, how could real objects be extracted from those illusory worlds?” Tang Hao’s words seemed perfectly reasonable.
Of course, Tang Hao appeared calm on the surface, but with his arms crossed and his hands tightly gripping the other arm, it was clear that his heart was in turmoil.
“That’s not all,” the Drunken Sword Immortal added. “It’s normal for there to be so many worlds… but the key point is that all of those worlds may fall under the jurisdiction of the Council Speaker.”
A serious expression settled on the Sword Immortal's face. If the worlds behind everyone present were all created by the Council Speaker… then by extension, it's highly likely that the endless illusory realms were also created by the Council Speaker…
“This is truly… astonishing.” Emilia’s voice was very low; although she was surprised, she did not question it.
Su Han also remained silent. He scanned the entire room and, finding no one interested in continuing the draw, immediately lost interest. With a thought, his figure vanished into the mist.
The Hall of Mist fell silent once more.
"...Do you think the function of this Random Star is something that automatically emerged as the Misty Space evolved to a certain extent, or... was it deliberately guided and shaped by the Speaker of the Council?" Gu Xun'er suddenly asked.
After a moment's consideration, Emperor Qing said, word by word, "If it's a coincidence, then it's far too coincidental."
Emperor Qing didn't speak directly; after all, as emperor, he often said things that seemed unrelated to the real issues, leaving it to his subordinates to figure out...
