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

Chapter 287 Chapter 286: Bankai: Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils: Ashura
It’s hard to describe my current mood.

After all, as Aizen Sosuke's first deputy, Arima Shizuka can be said to be the person in the world who can best understand the other person's state of mind.

too long.

Been preparing for a long time.

Aizen Sosuke planned a series of actions just to find the answer in his heart.

At this moment, he has stood in front of the 'truth'.

"Aizen-sensei, is this really okay?"

Hyoshubu Ichibei's hostility was not directed towards both parties, but was only directed at Arima Shizuya's targeted behavior.

In other words.

If he wanted, Aizen Sosuke could have done nothing at this moment and left Arima Shizuka alone.

What's more, if he chooses to turn against the enemy temporarily, relying on this kind of "merit", he can be recognized by Ichibei and others of Hyoshubu, and it is not impossible for him to meet the Spirit King.

The long-cherished wish was right in front of him. At this moment, Aizen Sosuke just nodded and acknowledged...

This will allow your long-term efforts to be truly rewarded.

There is no need to put these long speeches on the table to make them clear. At this moment, it is just a matter of "stopping at the right time". The two people who are both teachers and friends already understand the truth.

So, what will Aizen Sosuke do?

The answer was naturally determined from the very beginning.

"Although I thought Shizuya-kun was a bit naive before, I didn't expect him to be so exaggerated..."

With a sigh, he took half a step towards his side, then moved sideways and stood next to Arima Shizuya.

"It is not the behavior of a gentleman to change one's mind at the last minute. Of course, in a secular sense... I am definitely not a serious person."

From beginning to end, he kept his gaze fixed on the members of Squad Zero not far away.

"But even I know what I want."

Beneath the firm yet playful tone, there was not a trace of confusion or hesitation.

"The throne hanging high in the sky is too lonely and cold."

If there is no one accompanying you.

The heart will slowly become stiff and stop beating, until in the end, not a single emotion can be felt.

The long-cherished wishes of the past have been abandoned, and the current reality is the original wish.

"Believe in our strength, Shizuya-kun."

Exposing his back to Arima Shizuya without reservation, Aizen Sosuke had a calm expression and spoke in a light tone.

"Because of the characteristics of my Zanpakutō, I am not good at attacking, so in this situation I can only assist you..."

Therefore.

"Leave your back to me, just do your best."

Having said that, is there any room for discussion?
There will be no second answer.

Arima Shizuya's gaze slightly focused at this moment. He took a deep breath, lowered his right hand, and tightly grasped the Zanpakuto hanging at his waist.

Fluctuations of spiritual power began to emerge.

The surging power surrounded Arima Shizuya's body like a rolling dark cloud.

Mixed in with the azure spiritual fluctuations were tiny things that seemed to crawl and splash out like lightning...

Lie sideways and lift your chest.

His eyes were looking straight ahead, his expression dull and ordinary.

It was not an exaggerated action, but it was like a tiger descending from a mountain. Just by crawling down, one could clearly understand the other party's intentions.

It is a sign of taking action.

The four divine generals remained silent, but they all took their stances, ready to fight back.

So……

"Let's go, Squad Zero."

After a soft moan, it was Aizen Sosuke who took the first action.

By raising his left hand, the spirit particles in the air were grabbed by him and became loyal guards, forming stacked waves, surging towards the Spirit King Palace in the distance.

In a sense, the most exaggerated concentration of spirit particles in the Soul King Palace can be regarded as strengthening the "strength" of Aizen Sosuke.

but……

But it is quite limited.

There was no need to even release their Zanpakutō, as the Four Divine Generals had already blocked all attacks of this magnitude.

The tall Qilin Temple Tian Shilang shattered the torrent and showed a rather disdainful expression on his face.

Is this the only level of power?
That's really a pity.

"A guy who can only talk big, is this all he can do?"

The fact is just as the other party said, without any 'awakened' offensive Zanpakutō, Aizen Sosuke's means of attack are already quite limited.

But even so.

The ghost way should be considered a relatively accurate and effective means.

Although there has not been a direct and direct description, in the original book the big dog was killed instantly by means of the black coffin and the chantless sky-breaking method.

This basically shows that his attainments in the way of ghosts have definitely reached the "pinnacle".

Then why didn't he use it anymore?
Naturally because...

There is something more handy.

"What a boring provocation, Kirinji Tenshiro."

Aizen raised his lips. People who are good at scheming will not fall for this. But...

Isn't it a pleasure to adjust your state occasionally and taste a little of this shallow and spicy thing?
I accepted this challenge.

An inexplicable light flashed in Aizen Sosuke's eyes, his lips were slightly pursed, and he turned his right hand at this moment.

He made a gesture of facing his palms upward.

——Although we have rehearsed and practiced many times in Hueco Mundo, the environment is different after all, and it takes some time to adapt.

Fortunately.

Aizen Sosuke, who could be called a 'genius' in this regard, did not need long to complete this level of switching.

A stream of azure light appeared in his eyes, as if reflecting the unique deep space above the Soul King Palace, emitting a mysterious and dazzling glow.

"Eight Methods of the Ghost Path: The Stupid and Blind Dragon."

!!!

An expression of surprise appeared on everyone's face, even Hyoshubu Ichibei was no exception.

Watching the azure torrent being rubbed into long grey-black dragons by a force completely different from the ghost path, rolling and surging in the air...

Finally, they pieced together and turned into a dark mass that looked like a cumulus cloud.

Aizen Sosuke stood on it with an extremely calm expression.

"What's wrong? Are you already shocked by something as small as this?"

Or.

"You haven't even thought of a strategy to deal with these things?"

Before he could finish his words, the roaring gray dragon had already smashed the air and crashed forward with such force that it seemed as if it wanted to crush the entire Spirit King Palace to pieces!
The four divine generals were ready to fight back, but before that...

Hyoshubu Ichibei, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly walked to the front position.

He stared straight at the scene in front of him, raised his right hand, and put it to his mouth, making a gesture of gathering strength.

The spiritual power was visibly stirring, and golden light emerged, brewing and spreading in his palm.

Until it turned into a brilliant and dazzling golden dragon head.

"Inner Break Path, Third Path, Iron Wind Kill!"

call! ! !
The strong wind was strong enough to penetrate the void, and it collided fiercely with the blind dragons flying in the sky with the force of a tidal wave.

The heaven and earth seemed to be stirred at this moment.

The two sides continued to attack each other, and at this moment they were evenly matched.

However, it was not known whether it was due to the difference in spiritual power or simply a problem with the moves... some of the strong winds that could not be completely blocked broke through numerous obstacles and accurately "chopped" Aizen's body.

Puff... There was a faint sound, accompanied by the clothes on the chest breaking and bursting open.

Shallow bloodstains appeared on it, clearly showing the difference in strength between the two sides at this moment.

Slightly at a disadvantage.

But it is not to the extent of losing one's composure.

What's more, Aizen Sosuke actually felt a little proud at this moment.

It turned out that my prediction and that of Arima Shizuya were correct.

"Oh... is this a broken way?"

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and his tone was filled with emotion and teasing.

"As we expected, the methods used by the people on the ground are ultimately inferior."

In fact.

Long before arriving at the Soul King Palace, Arima Shizuka had fully consulted the entire plot and made corresponding preparations.

Squad Zero is not only the hidden strength of Soul Society, but also has a special position as having the authority to "create" certain things.

Arima Shizuka would definitely not be unprepared.

"If I still use the ghost ways on the ground and the methods you have already decided, I am afraid I will not be your opponent at all."

Ghost Way is essentially an established routine for using spiritual power.

Just like the formula for solving a problem.

Selectively apply limited resources within a fixed framework to launch multi-faceted attacks.

The large number of numbers for the ghost paths is enough to illustrate the profoundness of its use and research.

As an early means of fighting the enemy, Aizen Sosuke had no choice... In order to strengthen his own offensiveness, he could only delve into such a specialized subject.

However, Arima Shizuka gave another solution to the problem.

No longer choose fixed, original rules and methods... instead find a 'usage' that suits you better and is completely different from the past.

The eight methods of the ghost path are like this.

I have to say that Arima Shizuka is a genius in this regard.

Aizen had never thought of developing his own special set of Kidō, but the other party was able to predict this level and share his research with him.

Of course... there is indeed a reason for the fixed ideas.

But as a mentor, isn't it a shame to let students guide you in return?
"Ichibanbe of the Military Master Department, is such a method likely to be acceptable to you?"

Under Aizen's slightly high and somewhat provocative tone, the monk simply remained silent.

Although there was no answer.

But for this monk who also likes to talk dirty and mock others at every turn, this is a hundred times more painful than killing him!

"Well done, you rebels."

Although it was a scolding.

But it is also a kind of "praise" in another sense.

A faint smile appeared on Aizen Sosuke's face.

At this moment, he waved his hand to disperse the remaining spiritual power.

He gently wiped his chest, and the wound, which was originally shallow, was completely healed in the blink of an eye.

Kirinji Tenshiro, who was not far away, frowned as he watched... As the creator of Kaido, he understood the structure and physical fitness of the God of Death best.

This level of self-healing ability is definitely not something the God of Death should master.

In the moment when his thoughts were floating, a breeze blew, blowing away Aizen's torn clothes... revealing the traces of broken jade embedded in his chest.

This is true.

He did not choose to create Wonderwise, and instead focused all of his energy on training the Arrancars on himself.

Within the same period of time, Sosuke Aizen in this timeline integrated the Hogyoku into his body in advance.

And in the process of constant stimulation and exploration.

The assimilation process is completed.

Everyone who witnessed this phenomenon was silent for a moment. There was no doubt that the current development was indeed somewhat 'unexpected'.

Aizen Sosuke was not originally considered to be within the range of combat power. After all, whether it was his Zanpakutō or the abilities he displayed...

They are all positioned towards auxiliary.

The four divine generals?

Anyone who goes up can easily hold him back, and everyone has time to beat up Arima Shizuya, which is not an easy task.

However, the current situation is not the case.

Aizen Sosuke, who has mastered the Eight Methods of Kidō and formed his own unique system, is now an exceptional secondary attacker.

Wang Yue from Ermeiwu tried to half turn his head and asked tentatively to the person beside him.

"Can it be done quickly?"

Hyoshubu Ichibei hummed dully, and after a brief thought, he spoke softly.

"It's a bit difficult if you don't show your real ability."

That's a real headache~

Unless it is a critical moment, Squad Zero is prohibited from releasing their Zanpakutō to the maximum extent under normal circumstances.

If it can't be taken easily, things will become a little troublesome.

It’s a headache…

Can’t they just be caught on the spot and executed right there?
Everyone's eyes were focused on Aizen Sosuke, as if everyone's attention was "fixed" on one point like flies around a light source.

And a moment later.

As if he was startled by something strange and had just reacted, Hyoshubu Ichibei suddenly raised his head and stared behind him.

Not good.

I was attracted by this guy accidentally.

So much so that the existence of Arima Shizuya was ignored!

A barely perceptible trace of regret appeared in Aizen's eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Is this the extent to which we can achieve this?
Aizen Sosuke, who has deeply integrated the Hogyoku, has completely integrated the Kyoka Suigetsu into his body.

There is no longer a form called Zanpakutō.

Aizen Sosuke's illusion ability has also improved to the point where just his gestures can cause confusion.

It seems that he can sense Aizen Sosuke's inner monologue.

On the other side, Arima Shizuya was ready to go.

The final preparations have also been made.

He slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, as if something quite terrifying was brewing in his body.

"No, Mr. Aizen has done a great job."

"Being able to attract each other's attention just by meeting for the first time, isn't this beyond our expectations?"

The secondary attacker has performed exceptionally well.

The main force is Arima Shizuya.

We should also give it our all.

Having made all the preparations and adjusting her condition to her best at this moment, Arima Shizuka clenched the blade in her hand.

Murmured.

"Bankai, Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, Ashura."

PS: I was so worried when I saw some readers complaining about whether they would backstab the prison master...

Everyone has read a story of more than 90 words, so you should know what kind of person Arima Shizuka is, right?
Even Old Man Lianshan is so respectful, would he stab the prison warden in the back?

That's too beastly...

All in all, I won't change the basic colors of the characters, so please don't worry about anything unnecessary.
