To be fair, Byakuya Kuchiki lacked trust in Ichigo Kurosaki's Shunpo technique.
Aizen also acted at this moment, instantly appearing next to Rukia and, before Ichigo could react, seizing the Hogyoku with a Black Tiger Heart Strike.
Seeing this, Byakuya Kuchiki became very excited and rushed towards Aizen with his sword.
At the same time, Gin Ichimaru stopped his "colleague," whose shocked gaze seemed to ask: You actually betrayed Lord Aizen?!
The dog, unaware of the truth, saw its friend being attacked and immediately prepared to help.
Kenpachi Zaraki, filled with excitement, didn't miss the opportunity and immediately brandished his sword to find someone to fight.
The dog that pulled out the knife was undoubtedly a very good choice.
Kyoraku Shunsui and his good friend, along with Kuchiki Byakuya, attacked Aizen.
The Captain-Commander did not make a move. His Zanpakuto was not suitable for use here; even the aftershocks could destroy a wide area of buildings. Therefore, unless necessary, he would not take action.
Soi Fon, working with the other captains, quickly cleared out the Hollows. To the captains, lower-level Hollows were no different from soldiers; a single strike could take down several, or even dozens.
However, the mid-level Hollows and Arrancar hidden among the lower-level Hollows are a much more serious problem.
While dealing with the Hollows, the group had to guard against attacks from the Arrancar, especially since the Gotei 13 were outnumbered and failed to stop all the Hollows.
Cero was still being released, thrown one by one towards other locations in Seireitei. Members of the rank of captain and vice-captain were able to handle the Cero and intercepted them.
As for the other team members, they were attacking the Hollow using Kido techniques.
As for the Arrancar and Mid-level Hollows who attempted to escape to the Seireitei, the Captain-Commander eliminated some of them, while the rest were stopped by members of various divisions.
The area around the execution platform was in complete chaos, with several captains ganging up on Aizen. Ichigo Kurosaki looked bewildered, not quite understanding the situation.
Fang Rui did not make a move for the time being. He was observing the torn space. The Espada and the Arrancar, who were second only to the Espada, did not participate in the operation. Instead, they hid in the space and waited for Aizen's orders.
Although the Arrancar deliberately concealed their spiritual pressure, and there were too many Hollows present, along with other issues, the captains had not yet discovered any hidden Arrancar.
'Looks like Aizen is planning something big...'
Thinking this, Fang Rui turned his gaze to Shiba Kukaku.
Because of Fang Rui's previous invitation, Shiba Kukaku had been following Fang Rui's lead. Now, watching the scene unfold from the sidelines, she had no intention of helping, or rather, she didn't want to for the time being.
Although she disliked the Seireitei somewhat, she acknowledged their formidable strength; even if some Hollows and Aizen cooperated, they would have no chance of defeating the Seireitei.
After all, Seireitei has two ultimate insurance policies: one is the strongest person on the surface, the Captain-Commander of the First Division, and the other is the royal agents. Although those guys are not as destructive as the Captain-Commander, they are still very strong.
As a top noble, Shiba Kukaku knew the relevant information, so she wasn't worried at all.
"What are you planning to do?" Shiba Kukaku asked, noticing Fang Rui's gaze.
Although we know that Seireitei will eventually win, we will try to minimize our losses.
"If you want to join, you can find someone to fight now, while I will have to wait."
Fang Rui needed to confirm the location of the Hogyoku that Aizen possessed. According to Aizen's personality, he should carry it with him at all times. The concern was that Aizen might have been prepared and hidden the Hogyoku in another location.
He needs to find the right opportunity to strike decisively.
Even if we don't subdue Aizen, we should at least severely injure him.
After all, while Aizen's strength wasn't as great as his, he was very good at surviving, especially with his ability to control the five senses of most people present using Kyoka Suigetsu.
If you make a mistake in timing, there's an 80% or higher chance you'll be ganged up on and beaten by a bunch of people.
Being ganged up on was Aizen's treatment; he had no intention of enjoying it.
"No need," Shiba Kukaku said, refusing.
Kukaku Shiba knew about Aizen's Zanpakuto; those marked by Aizen were important figures in the Seireitei, as well as some others who were marked as well.
She had no interest in confronting Aizen, and being accidentally marked by Kyoka Suigetsu was a terrible thing.
Fang Rui drew his Zanpakuto and copied the abilities of the other Zanpakuto one by one. Although he didn't have Bankai yet, it was still great to collect as many Shikai as possible.
On the other hand, Aizen is not using Kyoka Suigetsu now, but fighting with swordsmanship and Kido.
What is he thinking?
Two Zanpakuto with the same power—whoever takes effect first will gain the upper hand.
That is to say...
Was he waiting for me?
Fang Rui seemed to be deep in thought. After having this guess, he had even less intention to make a move and continued to wait. Compared to Aizen, he had more time. No matter what Aizen's purpose was, he could sit and wait for his death.
Even if he fails to obtain the Hogyoku this time, he can still catch up to Hueco Mundo!
With his strength, he could easily seize it by force, provided he knew where the Hogyoku was.
Although he can use astrology to divine, the existence of the Hogyoku is somewhat special, and the results of his divination may be inaccurate. Besides, playing with Aizen is quite interesting.
It's interesting regardless of the outcome, since victory or defeat is meaningless to him. He's stronger, and even if Aizen wins temporarily, he can't sustain it...
Anyway, the Hogyoku will eventually end up in his hands.
Lost in thought, Fang Rui watched the show quietly. The combined efforts of the captains did put some pressure on Aizen, but with his formidable strength, Aizen managed to hold on for the time being.
However, further delay would not benefit Aizen, so he did not delay any longer and instead activated his Shikai...
In that instant, the Captain-Commander, who had not yet made a move, drew his sword, and Fang Rui, who had been watching from the sidelines, also teleported behind Aizen.
He pierced his body with one hand and obtained the Hogyoku.
The moment he got his hands on the Hōgyoku, he could tell that it was real, not a fake.
Immediately afterwards, he teleported away again.
Before the heavily injured Aizen could react, the Captain-Commander's sword had already come down, severely wounding Aizen.
"That was so easy!" Fang Rui said.
Logically speaking, it shouldn't have been so easy; Aizen should have had a backup plan...
As he was saying this, Fang Rui suddenly sensed a sense of impending danger...
To the left rear!
His instinctive warning made him teleport away from his original spot. A snow-white blade of light slashed down, its sharp aura like a blade, hitting his face and making it a little itchy.
He's not bragging, but with his current strength, even if someone were to slash his face with a kitchen knife, it wouldn't break his defenses.
You could say it's thick-skinned in a physical sense!
That's not quite right. It's not that you're thick-skinned, it's more like you're tough-skinned.
While criticizing himself, Fang Rui turned his gaze to the person who had launched the sneak attack, which was none other than Aizen.
At the same time, the Captain-Commander's gaze also fell upon them, and yet another Aizen surprised him.
'Is it all a mirage? When did it start? Who was the person I attacked earlier?'
“That person’s spiritual pressure was the same as yours.”
As Fang Rui spoke, he could tell that the person from before was indeed Aizen, but where did this Aizen come from?
The spiritual pressure is the same, but as for other aspects...
"The ingredients are so complicated!"
Hearing Fang Rui's sigh, "Aizen" smiled and said, "It was made in a rush, so it's good enough that it works. Don't expect too much."
"Its existence will not exceed one day."
To ensure both strength and manufacturing speed, one cannot expect something to last a long time.
"I know, but the plan is to use it. It doesn't need to exist for long; one day is enough."
Aizen brandished his blade; the sword in his hand was an ordinary asabu.
"You don't think you can beat me with this, do you?"
The Captain-Commander stepped on the spirit particles and came to Fang Rui's side, looking at the other "Aizen". From the previous conversation, he already knew what was going on.
A toy made by Indigo dyeing.
Where are you?
The captain had no intention of gossiping; the scorching heat was baking the surrounding space, and the temperature was clearly rising.
"Me?"
Aizen immediately revealed a sinister smile. "Of course, I was there!"
As he said this, Fang Rui instantly left his spot, and the snow-white blade light slashed down again, revealing the heavily wounded Aizen before him.
"You were prepared all along? As expected of you..."
Aizen would never underestimate someone who could betray him, but he never expected the other party to be so strong.
'What a pity! If I had met him sooner, things might have been much more interesting.'
Aizen became what he is today partly because he was too clever. Without anyone to guide him, no one could correct his thinking. Once he went astray from the beginning, he would continue to stray from it.
Furthermore, it is precisely because of his intelligence that Aizen knows many secrets of the world, and intelligent people tend to overthink.
"Thank you for the compliment, but I won't hold back."
The clash between souls is a contest of whose soul is more resilient, which is spiritual pressure.
Therefore, Aizen, who was completely overwhelmed in terms of spiritual pressure and other aspects, did not cause any trouble in Fang Rui's hands, not to mention that the Captain-Commander was watching from the sidelines, and his Zanpakuto could strike Aizen at any time.
In the end, Aizen was beaten up by Fang Rui and bound with magic, preventing him from running away.
As for the Arrancars inside the spatial passage, after seeing Aizen captured, they all tried to run away.
Unfortunately for them, Fang Rui, who was already prepared, was not about to let them go.
Fang Rui was somewhat interested in Hueco Mundo. He wanted to build something in Hueco Mundo, so naturally he needed to subdue the most powerful force in Hueco Mundo.
Of course, what he values most is actually Xu's special ability to open spatial channels.
There is a spatial passage, making it easy to travel between the three realms.
Unlike the Gotei 13, which require specialized equipment.
"What are you going to do with him?"
Having watched Fang Rui beat Aizen in the entire fight, the Captain-Commander already understood Fang Rui's strength. If it were him, he certainly wouldn't have been able to defeat Aizen so easily, meaning that Fang Rui's strength was superior to his.
