Bleach: No cheat codes, he joined Aizen's side.

Chapter 101. 100. Everyone becomes Hollowfied: Aizen and Kisuke's First Clash (5k)

The biggest challenge in hollowing out a Captain-level Shinigami is that, compared to ordinary Shinigami, Captain-level Shinigami have much stronger spiritual pressure. If one tries their best to resist, the power of hollowing out is unlikely to affect their core.

Therefore, if this captain-level Shinigami does not give up resistance and completely accepts Hollowfication, then we must find a way to provoke his negative emotions and use those strong negative emotions to smoothly inject the Hollowfication power into his body.

Therefore, after seeing Rojuro Touhou kill the ordinary Shinigami who had come with him, and after Rojuro Touhou's emotions were not too volatile, Aizen decisively chose to kill Senetsu Iba.

As expected, Rojuro Touhou was enraged by the death of Senetsu Iba.

But so what?
Just incompetent and furious.

In less than two minutes, Fengqiao Lou Shilang knelt down on the ground.

Looking at his pierced body, he felt the uncontrollable frenzy slowly eroding his last shred of reason.

He couldn't understand how Aizen had suddenly become so strong.

The terrifying spiritual pressure that he could hardly look directly at almost gave him the illusion that he was facing the Captain-Commander for a moment.

At this moment, Rojuro Touhashi thought of the Kasumioji family's rebellion five years ago. Could it be that Aizen killed his former captain, Rennosuke Kamikawa?

"I'm sorry, Captain Qian Tie."

In the last moment before his reason was overwhelmed, Rojuro Fengqiao murmured.

Meanwhile, within the Seireitei, the disappearance of the investigation team led by Rojuro Tohsashi finally caught the attention of Captain-Commander Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto.

An emergency meeting of team captains was convened.

The meeting was brief and to the point: to form the strongest temporary investigation team to conduct a second round of investigations at the place where Rojuro and others went missing, and to select several captains and vice-captains to form small teams to go to other parts of Rukongai to quell the incident.

As for the Seireitei, only the members of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's First Division, the entire Second Division of Shihouin Yoruichi, and the entire Eleventh Division of Zaraki Kenpachi remained.

The reason why Yoruichi Shihouin and Kenpachi Zaraki were left in their respective squads instead of the others was because Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto considered Kenpachi Zaraki's terrible sense of direction. Sending him out might mean he wouldn't be able to find his way around even after the incident was over.

Meanwhile, Kenpachi Zaraki's vice-captain, Shuichi Higashino, is clearly unable to act alone due to his secret.

The reason for leaving Yoruichi Shihouin in the Second Division was also for this reason. If necessary, Yoruichi could release the seal on Shuichi Higashino's Zanpakuto, instantly adding a captain-level fighter to the Seireitei.

As for the remaining squads, considering that the captains and vice-captains are currently not in Soul Society due to their respective missions and cannot return for the time being.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni assigned Kyoraku Shunsui, the captain of the 8th Division, to be solely responsible for the western Rukongai area.
The North Rukongai was handed over to Captain Aikawa Raibu of the 7th Division and his vice-captain Kotsubaki Jin'emon.
The southern Rukongai was handed over to Kisuke Urahara, the captain of the 12th Division, and Tessai Kishiriya, the great devil master of the Kido Clan.
As for the East Rukongai, the place where Rojuro Ootori disappeared, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni committed almost all of the remaining high-ranking Soul Society forces there: Hirako Shinji, captain of the 5th Division; Mukkaru Kensei, captain of the 9th Division; Hisanami Haku, vice-captain of the 9th Division; Yadomaru Risa, vice-captain of the 8th Division; and Ushōda Hachigen, vice-head of the Kidō Sect.

The only squad not assigned by Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was the sixth squad of the Gotei 13.

As a noble-affiliated squad, the Sixth Division is led by the current head of the Kuchiki family, one of the five great noble families. Captain Kuchiki Ginrin, considering the lessons learned from the Kasumioji family's rebellion in the past, chose to remain in the Seireitei noble district to prevent a similar bloodshed from happening again five years ago.

Five years is simply not enough time for the nobles, who suffered heavy losses last time, to fully recover. If they were to suffer another major blow, even maintaining their rule would become precarious.

As the captains and vice-captains set off according to their respective missions, Kyoraku Shunsui looked at his vice-captain, Yadomaru Lisa, and wanted to ask her if she wanted to come with him.

Because while the captain's assignment is fixed, the vice-captain, who is positioned to assist the captain in combat, can be flexibly adjusted to a certain extent.

After all, Kyoraku Shunsui was the most special captain. In other areas, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni arranged at least one captain-level and one vice-captain-level.

Only Kyoraku Shunsui is one person.

However, even after Yadomaru Lisa left with Hirako Shinji and the others, Kyoraku Shunsui still didn't say it.

"With Captains Shinji Hirako and Kensei Muguruma here, there shouldn't be any major problems, right?"

In the end, Kyoraku Shunsui could only console himself with this thought.

Little did he know that less than an hour later, Hirako Shinji and his seemingly strongest team were completely wiped out.

They even dragged in Hiyori Sarugaki, the vice-captain of the 12th Division, who had been sent there to provide support by Kisuke Urahara earlier.

Looking at the captains and vice-captains around him who had all begun to undergo an irreversible process of etherealization, Shinji Hirako's voice trembled as he spoke.

That was an extreme expression of anger.

"Aizen Sousuke, I knew you'd always been up to no good!"

At this moment, standing opposite Hirako Shinji, Aizen openly spread his hands.

"So what if you know? Can you change how things turned out?"

"If you only know how to doubt but dare not take action, what's the difference between you and those weaklings?"

“I once doubted someone whose wisdom and forbearance far exceeded his ability. But I am different from you. I will give him opportunities to perform and I will build a stage for him. In return, he will surprise me time and time again.”

"That's the difference between you and me, Captain Hirako~"

Once again provoked, Hirako Shinji finally succumbed to the corrosive power of the ethereal energy emanating from his body, and his reason was overwhelmed.

At this moment, Hirako Shinji deeply regretted not having sent Aizen Sousuke to the maggot's nest sooner.

Unfortunately, it's too late to know this now.

Three captains were rendered intangible, and the violent spiritual pressure instantly alarmed almost the entire Soul Society after Aizen removed the spiritual pressure shield from the vicinity.

Kisuke Urahara, who had just resolved the Hollowfied Shinigami incident in the South District, was naturally among them.

"Tetsuzai, thank you for your help."

Without much hesitation, Kisuke Urahara made a request to the great demon priest Tessai Kishiriya beside him.

He had anticipated that things would turn out badly, which is why he took the initiative to apply to Captain-Commander Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni to allow the Kido-shu, who never participated in such incidents, to join this operation.

The goal is to quell the incident as quickly as possible to prevent the person behind it from taking advantage of the situation.

However, he did not expect that the powerful team composed of two captains and three vice-captains-level Shinigami, Hirako Shinji and Muguruma Kensei, would suffer defeat so quickly.

But Urahara Kisuke wasn't the only one who didn't expect this.
In the direction of North Rukongai, the captain of the 7th Division, Aikawa Rao, had barely left Seireitei when he was betrayed by his vice-captain, Kotsubaki Jin'emon.

Of course, perhaps the name "Kotsubaki Jin'emon" shouldn't be used; "Tosen Kaname" would be more appropriate.

"What exactly is your purpose?!"

When attacked without holding back by Tosen Kaname, who is also a captain, Aikawa Rao had little chance to fight back.

Only in the final stage of the blurring process could he roar at the face in front of him that bore the features of Kotsubaki Jin'emon, but was definitely not Kotsubaki Jin'emon.

"Let this dirty and filthy world become beautiful."

Tosen answered truthfully.

This has always been his unwavering ideal.

Killing one or two nobles won't change this corrupt world. To create the beautiful world that my dear friend Ge Kuang envisions, we must first kill one or two nobles.

In order to establish a completely new order, all the rotten pillars of the old world must be knocked down.

This is the truth that Aizen-sama told him, and he firmly believes it.

"At a time like this, are you still going to try to fool me with such a ridiculous excuse?"

Clearly, Aikawa Raobu doesn't understand Tosen Kaname at all.

In fact, there are very few people in the entire Soul Society who can understand Kaname Tosen's thought process.

Aizen understood, and that's how he gained Tosen Kaname's loyalty.

While these captains were being etherealized, the battle between Gin Ichimaru and Shuichi Higashino had only just entered its second phase.

Kaname Tosen guessed it, so he ignored Aikawa Raibu, who was in a Hollowfication state, and used Shunpo to rush to Ichimaru Gin's location.

Aizen, on the other hand, remained calmly in place, watching the captains and vice-captains who had fallen into Hollowfication begin to attack everything indiscriminately, until the person he most wanted to see appeared.

Kisuke Urahara, the captain of the 12th Division, the director of the Soul Society Technology Development Bureau, and most importantly, the creator and owner of another piece of the Hogyoku.

Hiding in the shadows, they waited quietly until Kisuke Urahara took out the Hogyoku.

From Aizen's perspective, it seemed that Kisuke Urahara did nothing at all, yet the Hollowfication of those captains and vice-captains was brought to a state of calm.

If it weren't for the noticeably weakened appearance of the powerful Kido Master, Tetsuzai, Aizen might have thought he had misjudged the situation. "If I remember correctly, there seems to be a Kido in Soul Society that's classified as an Absolute Forbidden Technique, called Time Stop."

Aizen recalled what he had seen in the Great Spiritual Library Corridor in the past.

Most of the information inside is public; only a very small portion is not accessible even to those who are permitted to enter the Great Book Gallery.

It is very likely that only a very special group of people are qualified to access this information.

And the Ghost Path known as Time Freeze is among them.

Aizen never expected that the great demon master Tessai Gahishi, who had never attracted much attention from him, would actually be qualified to learn and master this forbidden technique.

No wonder Kisuke Urahara would bring Tessai Natsuhiko.

And if that's the case.

Aizen looked at Kisuke Urahara, who was panting heavily, not far away behind Tessai's protection.

"You must have sensed something, Kisuke Urahara, right?"

Aizen smiled.

However, as long as we confirm that the Hogyoku is currently on Kisuke Urahara, that's fine.

"At the edge of a thousand hands, the revered hand cannot reach the darkness, the archer of the heavens cannot reflect the light. The path of radiance falls, the wind that ignites the sparks, gather together without confusion, follow my instructions, light bullet, eight bodies, nine strips, heavenly scripture, swift treasure, great wheel, gray turret, draw the bow into the distance, and vanish in a bright light."

"Hado #91, Thousand-Armed Kyoten Taipa!"

Aizen slightly raised his hand towards Kisuke Urahara, and countless rays of light converged into a sharp laser beam, carrying Aizen's terrifying spiritual pressure, and rushed straight towards Kisuke Urahara.

Unexpectedly, the moment Aizen released his spiritual pressure, Kisuke Urahara, sensing this change, smiled slightly.

"Finally caught you!"

Will using the Hogyoku consume a lot of Kisuke Urahara's stamina?

Of course it will, but definitely not to the point where it will leave him breathless.

Similarly, while casting and maintaining the freeze of time certainly consumes a lot of spiritual pressure, given Tessai's strength, he would not show such signs of fatigue.

The reason why the two of them acted this way was simply to lull Aizen, who was hiding in the shadows.

"Ghostly Path, Spatial Transfer!"

Wo Ling Tiezhai's expression changed, and his previously listless gaze instantly became crystal clear.

In an instant, not only did the captains and vice-captains who had just recovered some of their composure from their ethereal state disappear, but even Urahara Kisuke and Tsukasa Hikaru himself vanished.

The seemingly devastating Thousand-Handed Heavenly Cannon missed its target entirely.

The next moment, Aizen looked at the wound that had pierced his shoulder blade, feeling the numbing effect spreading from the wound throughout his body, and a hint of doubt appeared on his expression.

When exactly was it?

Even if it's a spatial teleportation by Woling Tiezhai, it should take time for him to appear in another place and launch an attack!
Unfortunately, no one will answer the questions in Aizen's heart.

Only Kisuke Urahara, who was hiding in the shadows behind Aizen, his entire body shrouded in a black cloak with only his eyes showing, knew the answer.

Because what Tessai had just protected behind him was merely a dummy he had created using a cyborg.

As for the real person, when Tetsuzai used Kido to freeze time, after using the Hogyoku to save the captains and vice-captains, he put on the cloak he was wearing now, which could completely cover his spiritual pressure and whereabouts, and temporarily left the battlefield.

Kisuke Urahara knew very well that the person behind the scenes could not possibly be satisfied with merely hollowing out a few captains.

Kisuke Urahara couldn't say for sure what that person wanted, but it was certain that person couldn't have gone very far from here.

Otherwise, Hirako Shinji and the others who arrived later would not have suffered this calamity.

As Urahara Kisuke had predicted, the person behind the scenes did indeed make their move.

It was still the incredibly powerful No. 91 Hado, the Thousand-Armed Sky-Piercing Cannon.

Seizing the opportunity, Kisuke Urahara used his self-created advanced version of White Lightning – a powerful strike that wounded the mastermind's right shoulder, before unleashing his Zanpakuto.

"Sing, Red Princess! Razor!"

The spiritual pressure on the Zanpakuto transformed into a red crescent moon and flew towards Aizen.

"What a clever scheme, but you've disappointed me greatly, Kisuke Urahara."

Turning to face the crescent moon hurtling towards him, Aizen's face showed regret.
"Having such a significant advantage, how could you choose such a weak attack? Even my dear subordinates know that a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit, let alone a tiger?"

Despite his body being temporarily paralyzed due to the effects of the White Lightning, Aizen somehow bypassed Kisuke Urahara's red crescent moon and stood before him.

The moment Kisuke Urahara launched his attack, his position was already exposed.

"Seventy-five of the Binding Dao, five pillars of iron!"

Fortunately, the timely appearance of the great demon master, Tetsuzai, caused the five iron pillars to fall, forcing Aizen to retreat several steps.

"I remember you, Aizen Sousuke, the lieutenant of the Fifth Division!"

At this moment, Urahara Kisuke, having finally seen Aizen's face, recognized Aizen's identity.
"This incident, and the previous rebellion of the Kasumi family, were all orchestrated by you behind the scenes, weren't they?"

Kisuke Urahara was not intimidated by Aizen's arrogance. Although Aizen was displaying strong spiritual pressure, it was far from enough to subdue him and Tessai Gahishi on the spot.

If I say no, would you believe me?

Upon seeing Tessai Wakashi reappear, Aizen knew that he probably wouldn't be able to do anything to Kisuke Urahara today.

Because he was still somewhat wary of the forbidden technique called Time Freeze that Tetsuzai Kōryū possessed.

Although he was just an observer, he was still genuinely affected by this move. The feeling of being completely out of control was not pleasant.

"State your purpose, Aizen Sousuke! You have no way out now."

Kisuke Urahara looked at Aizen, who had stopped, and said.

"Not always."

He was met with a disdainful smile from Aizen.

Aizen then turned and left with a flourish.

Tessai Goryu used three high-level binding techniques in succession, but he couldn't even touch the hem of Aizen's clothes.

"That's enough for now, Tessai!"

Kisuke Urahara stopped Tessai Gahishi from pursuing him.

Because the whole thing is strange in every way.

Although he did manage to capture Aizen, the mastermind behind everything, looking at Aizen Sousuke's confident smile, Urahara Kisuke always felt that the other party had deliberately given himself away so that he could catch him.

So, what exactly was Aizen's purpose?
To turn these captain-level Shinigami into Hollowfication? But what good would that do him?
Or.
Just as Kisuke Urahara was pondering, a frenzied spiritual pressure emanated from the direction of Rukongai in the north, emanating from Rabu Aikawa.

It was only then that Kisuke Urahara remembered that the Seireitei had sent out more than just these few teams.

The changes in Aikawa Raibu indicate that Aizen is definitely not alone!

"Tessai!"

"understood!"

This time, without Urahara Kisuke even having to say what he was thinking, Tessai Kishiriya understood what Urahara Kisuke meant.

"Ghostly Path, Spatial Transfer!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tessai Goriya and Kisuke Urahara disappeared from the spot.

At this point in time, in the only other battlefield where fighting was still ongoing, Tosen Kaname had just joined the battle.
