Bleach: The Captain of the Fifth Division Becomes Stronger Through Training.

Chapter 281: Path to Heaven
Under the gaze of everyone, the torrent of spiritual power belonging to Aizen Sosuke began to surge wildly and gushed towards the sky.

Just as he had said before, Aizen Sosuke had no intention of meeting the emperor.

They are challengers.

All that is needed is to drag the 'king' from the sky down and treat them as equals... that's all.

Looking down at the sky beginning to distort, the members of the Gotei 13 still maintained their fighting spirit.

But after Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni gave up, he stopped struggling.

Watching Unohana Retsu help the old man down the mountain to heal his wounds.

Kyoraku Shunsui temporarily took over the power of the general manager and gave orders loudly at this moment.

"Hold on, everyone!"

"Those who can still move, use all your spiritual power to try to stop the aftermath of the power!"

"Although it sounds depressing... But this is all we can do at the moment. At least we should not cause any more innocent casualties!"

In a sense, it does take enough courage to shout out these heartless words.

At least if it was Soi Fong or Byakuya Kuchiki, they definitely wouldn't be able to do this...

Should we say that he is worthy of being the second generation captain in the original work?
All I can say is that Room 46’s vision in this regard is indeed a bit sharp.

Arima Shizuya's thoughts wandered for a moment, and then he focused his gaze.

He looked to his side. Aizen still maintained the posture of stretching his hands towards the sky, but his expression gradually became subtle.

"..."

乐？
I can't be happy anymore.

Arima Shizuka also clearly saw the next moment when the azure torrent belonging to Aizen Sosuke touched and squeezed the sky.

Begin to shatter completely.

As if it had been attacked by some invisible force, the condensed force collapsed in a splashing manner, layer upon layer, like a tall building collapsing...

In the end, it became a mess scattered all over the ground.

In such a scene, not to mention the other people watching, even Aizen Sosuke, the person involved, showed a rather subtle expression at this moment.

Didn't wait for him to say anything.

In the sky.

At this moment, an O-shaped hole appeared directly.

It was like an abyss that appeared in the ocean. It looked so deep that people couldn’t even observe it…

To see what’s on the other side.

It was like a portal leading directly to another world. As long as one passed through it, one could reach another world.

Aizen Sosuke frowned slightly.

It was not until a moment later that he raised the corners of his mouth as if relieved and spoke softly.

"Shizuya-kun, this is an invitation to us, right?"

Possessing the power to resist the torrent of Aizen's spiritual energy, he even did such a thing at this moment.

Another sense of 'assertive behavior'.

It is also an act of provocation that goes beyond words.

So, what is the answer?

Facing Aizen Sosuke's gaze, Arima Shizuya just smiled calmly at this moment, and then raised his head high.

In addition to heading towards the Sky Throne...

“There shouldn’t be a second answer, right?”

"Of course, Shizuya-kun."

Gin Ichimaru and others behind him subconsciously wanted to get closer, but the torrent of spiritual energy surged silently, directly isolating everyone in the Hueco Mundo.

That's good.

The purpose of developing the Arrancar itself was to deal with the Gotei 13.

There was no stage for these people in the ensuing battle, and at the same time... this was also someone's unique preference.

A long-cherished wish is about to be fulfilled. Logically speaking, this is a victory for the camp and is also worthy of celebration and joy.

but.

Aizen Sosuke did not think that his subordinates, who were not equal to him, were qualified to share this honor.

He has always been a lonely person and could not find like-minded people who could walk side by side with him.

In the original book, he is like this.

He was so bored that even though he realized that there was something wrong with Ichimaru Gin, he was willing to take the time to deal with the other party's schemes and find the joy that he could experience in the crisis of life and death.

And now in this timeline, Aizen Sosuke's rather morbid thoughts have also undergone obvious changes.

Because at this moment, he is no longer fighting alone.

Arima Shizuka was also by his side, a comrade-in-arms who walked shoulder to shoulder with him and also his so-called favorite student.

The world is big.

But there are very few people who are qualified to share this joy with him...

Even so, one person is enough.

"Let's go, Shizuya-kun."

Towards that final place.

The two smiled at each other and walked side by side at this moment.

The spirit particles scattered all over the ground began to tremble violently, and the collapsed shapes were violently mixed and fused until they became a more solid shape.

Layers of stairs appeared above the sky.

The azure torrent came from all directions, surrounding Arima Shizuya and the other man, as loyal as guards surrounding a new king's ascension to the throne.

The distance is gradually increasing.

Although the movement was not fast, in the eyes of the people below and the Gotei 13, it seemed to have a different charm.

Hinamori Momo just stared blankly at Arima Shizuya's back and muttered to herself.

"Captain...you..."

"Really, walking ..."

"Isn't it too far?"

Slowly I couldn't see clearly, and slowly it started to blur.

The Arima Shizuka who I thought I knew well is also slowly disappearing, just like a photo that has been left for a long time, starting to fade, become fragile, and finally begin to break.

Captain Arima, Captain Arima...

Where are you going?

On the other side, Tohru Yuune was also staring blankly at the sky. Compared to Hinamori Momo, her personality was more introverted.

At this moment, he just clutched the front of his shirt to express his inner insecurity.

but.

This feeling was quickly suppressed.

Lowering his head to avoid looking, Kotetsu Yuyin shouted to the people around him.

"The battle isn't over yet... Go gather the wounded and I'll treat them!"

Although it is introspection.

But at the same time, it was like a reminder and served as an inspiration to everyone present.

The battle is not over yet.

Now that they have lost their highest level of combat power, the apparent strength of the Hueco Mundo group has plummeted.

Perhaps this is one of the few opportunities to catch the other party in one fell swoop? !
The guys led by Urahara Kisuke and the Masked Army retreated to the outer areas. The teams active in the real world did not seem to care about the outcome of the battle, but were more concerned about the impact on the real world. After all, for them, this place was not only a temporary foothold, but also their current position.

"Urahara, are you sure you can keep your life when the fight starts?"

Facing Mako Hirako's questioning, Boss Urahara rarely showed a helpless expression and sighed.

"You're being too hard on me, Mr. Hirako..."

"Then I understand that it's difficult to do."

Mako Hirako half turned her head and shouted to the other companions beside her.

"Did you hear me? It may be difficult, but this is our mission... and our duty! You can't back down at a time like this, everyone."

There is no need for an overly inspiring speech. Since they have been abandoned, they will naturally understand the other party's intentions.

It's up to us!

And on the side of the Gotei 13.

Kyoraku Shunsui took some time out to visit Captain Unohana Retsu to check on the captain's injuries.

After learning that their lives were not in danger, the rest of the people breathed a sigh of relief.

Under such circumstances, it is hard to imagine how much of a blow to morale it would have if something really happened to the old man...

Having such a result is a blessing in disguise.

"Then what do we do next?"

Facing Soi Fong's rhetorical question, Komamura Satsuki, who was a little angry, shouted angrily.

"Of course, we must try our best to defeat our opponents and regain the glory of the Gotei 13!"

In response to Da Gou's angry remarks, the slightly calmer Ukitake Jushiro gave a different response.

"It's better not to act rashly at a time like this... After all, the other party hasn't chosen to take action. If we continue to fight like this, it will only be a waste of both sides' manpower."

"Are we just going to sit there and watch?!"

"No... not to that extent..."

Looking at the messy scene in front of him, Kyoraku Shunsui felt his scalp tingling.

At present, it is difficult to bring it to this level with only more than half of the people.

It's hard to imagine how the old man in the mountain managed to keep these people in line during the "heyday".

——So I’m just not suitable for this kind of work.

After simply complaining in his heart, Kyoraku Shunsui sighed softly in a place where no one was paying attention, and ran at the fastest speed.

Sort out my mood.

Although I am an acting commander, I must not lose the authority of command at this time.

"Okay, okay, everyone, please stop talking. I think at times like this we should..."

Kyoraku Shunsui breaks into the debate competition!
Compared to the chaotic Gotei 13.

The situation in Hueco Mundo was surprisingly calm.

Although they have 'lost' the two kings who are the main brains, the core members of Hueco Mundo are still present, so they can naturally maintain order at this time.

and so.

"The question is what we should do now...right?"

The No. 1 of the Ten Espada, Koyatae Stark, looked at the eastern line Kaname and Ichimaru Gin who were gazing at the sky not far away.

At this moment, he said this with emphasis.

"What do you think? Tell us."

Gin Ichimaru was the first to respond. A flash of disappointment appeared on his face, but it was quickly covered up.

Until he returned to his usual smiling face.

"Are you still asking for our opinions now? It doesn't matter anymore, after all, Aizen has already abandoned you... No, even us."

Not being taken under the dome was a statement in itself.

"You are now free, and whatever you do next will be based on your thoughts and actions."

"I have no right to restrict your behavior, and I will not use Arima Shizuya's tone to give non-existent orders."

"No matter what the outcome of this war is, the purpose for which you were created has now been achieved."

So, go and pursue your own value.

This was also the task that Arima Shizuya set for all the Arrancars before he left.

At this moment, through the mouth of Ichimaru Gin, it reappears on this land.

“Go find the value of your existence and find a way to fill the void in your heart.”

The Arrancars present looked at each other in bewilderment. To the lower-level Arrancars, these words seemed a bit too philosophical...

Eating, sleeping and killing are already very happy. Who would have thought about such things?

Only those Arrancars with higher numbers will have a deeper understanding at this moment.

The first to respond was Tia Harribel. She took two steps forward and after a brief silence, bowed deeply in the direction of Ichimaru Gin.

"Thank you for the power you have given me... I will definitely find the meaning of my existence."

The keyword of Harribel is "sacrifice", which means that she is one of the few Arrancars among the Ten Espadas who will take the initiative to make sacrifices for certain things or actions.

This guy is just like a real person.

In response to Harribel's thanks, Gin Ichimaru did not make any clear statement, he just stepped back.

Avoid the other party's "thanks".

"Don't say these things to me. I'm just the one who delivered the news. As for the person you should thank the most..."

After a pause, he spoke slowly.

"It's better to hope that those two can come back safely."

Harribel nodded slowly, then turned and left - she herself did not like fighting, and rather than a fight filled with blood and instinct, she preferred to live a peaceful life with her subordinates.

A high-numbered Arrancar demonstrated.

The remaining group also gradually began to reveal their 'true nature'.

The guy who loved fighting didn't hesitate at all and rushed directly to the array of the god of death, continuing the unfinished fight.

As for those who prefer quiet and peace...

Well, there is no such individual in Hueco Mundo. After all, the resources are too desolate, and the character of kindness and gentleness seems too abrupt. Its existence itself may have already become the food of others.

No. 2, Bylergan Luisenbang, snorted coldly, swept his eyes over everyone, and finally turned his back coldly.

Left the place.

"gone back!"

This guy just doesn't submit to anyone. Even though he is temporarily under Aizen's command, he is still full of rebelliousness.

Naturally, Ichimaru Gin was not at all surprised to see such a judgment made about this guy at this moment.

So, who's next?

He looked at the silent Stark and said with a smile.

"As the number one Arrancar, what do you think now?"

There was a brief silence, as if he was thinking carefully and weighing the pros and cons.

Then, Koyate Stark sat directly on the barrier made of air.

"I...hate being alone."

When I returned to Hueco Mundo, it was still empty.

So, just stay here.

Because it's lively.
