Rukia sighed. She knew where the problem lay, but there was nothing she could do about it.

As Rukia saw Byakuya Kuchiki approaching, a chill suddenly ran through her.

Of the four great noble families, only the Kuchiki family remains!

Is this a good thing, or will it ultimately lead to the destruction of the Kuchiki family?

What exactly did that voice that told her was plotting against the Kuchiki family want to do...?

"Come on, go home."

Kuchiki Byakuya was slightly injured, but not seriously. Because the situation here worried Kurosaki Ichigo, he abandoned the battle and ran back.

Seeing Rukia's state, I knew she wasn't in a good mood and didn't want to say much, so I took everyone back.

He had no intention of explaining why he hadn't protected Rukia before, nor could he explain it.

But he never intended for Rukia to actually be killed...

"We'll head back first. Ichigo, would you like to go to the Fourth Division for treatment?"

Rukia naturally wanted to leave with Byakuya Kuchiki, but she looked at Ichigo Kurosaki before she left.

She felt touched, but also somewhat helpless, towards this friend who had come to Soul Society for her and risked his life several times.

"I will take Ichigo and the others to get treatment, Rukia-san, please don't worry!"

Hanatarou, being from the Fourth Division, quickly spoke up, indicating that he could handle the matter.

Moreover, not only Ichigo Kurosaki, but also Ikkaku Madarame, who was injured and had not been treated, and Renji Abarai, who was beaten half to death, all need to be taken to the Fourth Division for treatment.

After everyone had settled down, Sasuke leisurely returned to the Fifth Division and lay down on the roof of the Fifth Division's captain's room.

Beside him was the black cat that had grown larger and was now his pillow, the gold and silver bells around its neck making cheerful, clear sounds.

"Captain, you just left and you're back already? Did you forget something?"

Sasuke opened his eyes and looked at Aizen, who had suddenly appeared, wondering if he had made a mistake.

Otherwise, why come back now to see how the chaos he created will unfold?

"There's something wrong with the Hogyoku. You'll have to come with me to Hueco Mundo."

Aizen didn't make a mistake; he just came here to find Sasuke and ask him to go to Las Noches to check on the Hogyoku together.

"No way, you should be treasuring that thing, right? Why don't you ask me to check it out? Aren't you afraid it'll become mine after the checkup?"

Although Sasuke said that, he still stood up.

But after he stood up, there was still a 'Sasuke' sleeping with the black cat as his pillow.

"Is this an illusion?"

Aizen's curiosity was piqued, and his gaze swept back and forth between Sasuke and the sleeping 'Sasuke,' but he found that no matter how he looked at it, neither of them seemed fake.

"It's not an illusion, it's a physical entity created by spiritual particles. Otherwise, how do you think I was so badly injured before?"

Shaking his head, Sasuke explained the concept of Shadow Clone Technique using the method of creating spiritual particles.

Actually, they're pretty much the same; they're both just displays of power.

"Let's go, the sooner we resolve this, the sooner we can come back."

Although he didn't understand, Aizen didn't press the matter further.

"I'll do it."

Sasuke reached out and took the amulet from Aizen's hand.

The word 'Peace' flashed on the enlarged amulet, and the two were enveloped within it, returning directly from Soul Society to the Las Noches laboratory.

After they left, Ashura tilted his head, used his large tail to encircle the still-sleeping Sasuke, and continued to close his eyes and snore.

Chapter 197 Sasuke's uncontrolled spiritual pressure destroys Las Noches.

The virtual circle, the virtual night palace.

"Aizen, I knew you had to bring him along! Look at him now, he can't even handle something this small. He'll only cause trouble sooner or later..."

Sasuke sat down in the chair, leaning lazily against the back, his gaze fixed on Gin Ichimaru diagonally opposite him.

"Is this a small matter?"

When Gin Ichimaru saw Aizen teleport away with a strange little thing, he already found it very strange, but he never expected that two people would return out of nowhere.

Moreover, this kid who looked at him with a mocking expression was actually Aizen's man!

Were all those previous encounters in Soul Society just an act?

"Otherwise what? By the way, about how you always want to kill me, you said I didn't provoke you, so why are you so hostile towards me? Is it because of Matsumoto Rangiku?"

Sasuke yawned and reached out to pet the cat's head, but then suddenly remembered that he hadn't brought the cat with him this time.

Looking at Gin Ichimaru, Sasuke felt it necessary to ask where this guy's hostility towards him came from.

"I wanted to kill you because you were in my way. How did you come up with Matsumoto Rangiku? Did Matsumoto Rangiku say that I like her?"

Gin Ichimaru's eyes were narrowed, and no change in his expression could be seen, but his aura still fluctuated for a moment.

"I knew you wouldn't tell me, so I'll come and see for myself. Lend me the Hogyoku."

Sasuke suddenly reached out his hand to Aizen, but his gaze remained fixed on Gin Ichimaru.

He didn't actually mind whether Aizen would be assassinated by Gin Ichimaru in the end, but since that guy was always thinking about killing him, he absolutely couldn't let him continue in this state.

Even if he can't kill himself, why not keep this guy, who could cause trouble at any time, around to give himself a thrill?

"be careful."

Aizen wasn't quite sure what Sasuke was planning, but he was certain that Sasuke's condition indicated he wasn't going to kill Gin Ichimaru.

After placing the Hogyoku in Sasuke's hand, he returned to his seat and sat down, observing Sasuke and Gin Ichimaru.

"Captain Gin Ichimaru, don't even think about running away. No one can escape from me, not even if I don't bring my Zanpakuto today."

Sasuke clutched the Hogyoku in his heart; it was the one he had taken from Rukia, and the seal around it had not yet been completely broken.

He pinched the seal with his fingers, and several bolts of lightning flashed at his fingertips, revealing the true form of the Hogyoku.

It was actually a not-quite-round spherical object. After the seal was broken, its spiritual pressure exploded, enveloping Sasuke who was holding it. The powerful spiritual energy then began to transform it.

"Captain Aizen, aren't you going to do anything about this? It seems like this kid is stealing the power of the Hogyoku."

Gin Ichimaru initially thought Sasuke was going to deal with him, but he discovered that Sasuke's target was actually Aizen's Hogyoku from the very beginning.

He was truly delighted; he never expected that Aizen would be tricked like this.

However, if the power of the Hogyoku were so easy to control, then Aizen and Kisuke Urahara wouldn't have been unable to come up with a way to control it despite their various experiments.

"Captain, give me the other one too. There's a sealing formation hidden inside..."

Sasuke's expression was somewhat ferocious as he stretched out his other hand towards Aizen.

Not only was Gin Ichimaru dumbfounded, but even Kaname Tosen, who couldn't see it, felt that this kid was getting a bit arrogant.

Not content with stealing one Hogyoku, now they're planning to get another one?

Does he think Aizen is a philanthropist?

However, Aizen did not hesitate at all and placed another Hogyoku in Sasuke's hand.

With the two Hogyoku in hand, Sasuke's breathing calmed down, and the power in his two hands intertwined, gradually forming a balance within him.

Once calmed down, Sasuke sat in the chair, maintaining his absorption and training state, using his body as a central point to fuse the power of the two tomoe.

"If this continues, will the Hogyoku become his?"

Gin Ichimaru frowned. Although he hoped Aizen would fail and wanted to find an opportunity to kill him, it didn't mean he was willing to let the kid succeed.

"No, I'm just using this power to achieve intangibility. Captain Gin Ichimaru, you're really overthinking things."

Sasuke opened his blood-red eyes and looked at Gin Ichimaru with a mocking expression.

"Is there any credibility in what you're saying?"

With conflicted feelings, Gin Ichimaru continued to retort. Looking at Sasuke who was undergoing fusion, the same thought from before began to resurface in his mind.

When he is off guard, shoot him with the sharpshooter!

"Shoot him! Sharpshooter!"

Once the thought arose, it couldn't be suppressed. After struggling with himself for a long time, Gin Ichimaru raised his hand and truly unleashed the divine spear.

"So, why do you keep trying to kill me?"

Sasuke opened his eyes, looked at Gin Ichimaru in front of him, and then at his own heart that had been pierced through. This spear was really fast!

However, looking at the ashes of the gun barrel, he seemed to have underestimated Gin Ichimaru's determination to kill him.

This isn't a divine gun, it's a god-slaying gun!

Ichimaru Gin's magic weapon, the Swastika...

"Sorry, I just wanted to test whether what Captain Aizen said about you having 100% defense was true."

Gin Ichimaru stepped back and sat down in a chair. The reason he was sure he could make a move was because Aizen had said that the kid would have 100% defense when he was unconscious.

That's why he took advantage of this opportunity to attack when Sasuke didn't have his Zanpakuto by his side for protection.

If he misses this opportunity, he may never have another chance.

"But you shouldn't have chosen to do this when the Hogyoku was in my hands..."

Sasuke sighed, and the two Hogyoku fused directly into his palms, successfully becoming one at the spot where his heart had been pierced by the divine spear.

"What? You embedded the Hogyoku in your heart? You really are insane!"

Seeing that Sasuke was not only alive but had also fused the Hogyoku to his body, and that his spiritual pressure was soaring, Gin Ichimaru suddenly felt that everything was not good.

All of this was only what he saw and felt. Aizen, sitting in the chair, simply frowned and looked at Sasuke.

"Captain Gin Ichimaru, I must thank you for your generosity. Otherwise, how could I have fused the Hogyoku into my body? I would be immortal now..."

Sasuke laughed wildly as he looked at Gin Ichimaru, stood up from the broken chair, and walked step by step to Gin's side.

However, just as he was about to reach out and slap Gin Ichimaru, his spiritual pressure suddenly erupted out of control, and half of Hueco Mundo was instantly destroyed.
