“That power, it really is a Quincy.” Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni said with a solemn expression, “It reminds me of a man who is unforgivable.”

"Is that so?" Wu Yue laughed nonchalantly and said, "There's a difference between me and that guy. Don't lump us together!" With a flick of her right hand, terrifying sword energy burst forth from her body.

Boom!

A powerful sword beam instantly extended from beneath Wuyue's feet, splitting the flames in front of her in two, and continued its relentless attack on Captain-Commander Yamamoto.

"Sword pressure?" Captain-Commander Yamamoto raised an eyebrow, and also raised the fire blade in his hand, swinging it out.

scoff.

The two sword pressures collided, creating a terrifying flow of spiritual pressure, like two incompatible energies colliding. The entire area resounded with a thunderous roar.

Chapter 0561 The Truth Revealed

"Captains and vice-captains of the Gotei 13, and fellow Ryoka. I am Kotetsu Isane, vice-captain of the Fourth Division. Can you hear me? This is an emergency. The following are messages from the Fourth Division Captain Retsu Unohana and Vice-Captain Kotetsu Isane. Please listen patiently. This is a confirmed fact... Fifth Division Captain Sosuke Aizen, Third Division Captain Gin Ichimaru, and Ninth Division Captain Kaname Tosen have all betrayed us."

"Please note! The former captain of the 5th Division is not dead; he deceived us all with the power of his Zanpakuto! He killed everyone in the Central 46 Chambers, and severely injured the 5th Division Lieutenant, Hinamori Momo, and the 10th Division Captain, Hitsugaya Toshiro! To reiterate, Aizen Sousuke killed everyone in the Central 46 Chambers..."

The message delivered by the Heavenly Void was both accurate and swift. Within the Soul Society, everyone who heard the news stopped what they were doing, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.

“Aizen… how could he…” Ukitake Jushiro looked at his best friend beside him, his face full of astonishment. 22

"Yes, I didn't expect it to turn out like this either." Kyoraku Shunsui sighed and said, "Old man Yama, did you hear what I just said? Do you still want to continue fighting?"

silence.

Captain-Commander Yamamoto, who had originally raised his spiritual pressure to its maximum, suddenly lost his momentum and looked like a deflated balloon, aging several hundred years.

incredible!

During his tenure, some of his subordinates actually committed such a rebellious act! This is a complete slap in the face to him!

"Tsk, it would have been better if that sound had come a little later." Mugetsu reluctantly sheathed his Zanpakuto, a hint of helplessness on his face.

Under these circumstances, there is indeed no need for further fighting.

Rangiku was utterly astonished. "Captain, you actually lost?"

Kira Izuru's voice trembled. "How could this be?! Hinamori...she didn't do anything!"

Hisagi Shuhei's eyes widened in disbelief. "This is too much! The captain... he actually betrayed us?!"

Because of the sudden change in the sky, the entire Seireitei was in chaos.

Meanwhile, Ichigo Kurosaki, who had already defeated Byakuya Kuchiki, descended from Sōkyō Hill with the help of Chad and the others.

"What happened? What was that voice just now?" Shiba Ganju looked up, seemingly peering around. "It sounded like it came from inside my head."

"It seems they're saying the captain killed the captain, and something terrible happened to the entire Seireitei," Kurosaki Ichigo explained vaguely. "But what does this have to do with us?"

“That’s probably her judgment; she should have informed us.” Ishida Uryu offered a different opinion. “Don’t you understand, Kurosaki? That captain named Aizen wiped out the entire highest authority in the Seireitei… If his actions are seen as an announcement to that authority, what do you think his purpose is?”

"Fine, carry out the execution?"

“That’s right. Ever since we arrived in Soul Society, the date of Ms. Kuchiki’s execution has been kept being moved forward. You must have noticed something was wrong by now.” Pushing up his glasses, Ishida Uryu continued, “But if all of this is related to that Aizen Sousuke, then his purpose is very clear! He wants to kill Ms. Kuchiki!”

At this moment, on the Hill of Twin Calamities.

"I refuse, Captain Aizen!" Renji Abarai shielded Rukia behind him as Aizen suddenly appeared before him, shouting, "You don't need to say that twice."

"Is that so?" Aizen smiled and said, "In that case, you'll stand in front of me like a hero, and then... die standing up."

puff.

A jet of blood shot out.

Renji's chest was slashed with a deep gash, and blood spurted out.

"Well, you're quite good at dodging these days." Aizen flicked the blood off his blade and said calmly, "You've grown, and I'm pleased. However, I hope you won't be too insistent. After all, it's difficult to control the force required to run over someone without crushing an ant. I was your former superior, and I can't bear to see you die."

"Heh. He was my former superior, after all." Renji sneered, "If that's the case, why did you target Hinamori?"

"Ah, do you know the gist of the matter? It's Tentei Kōra." Aizen gripped his sword in his right hand and walked towards her step by step. "Well, there was nothing I could do about it. She said she couldn't live without me, so I granted her wish. But it's a pity, the one in 700 isn't the real Hinamori."

"What do you mean?" Renji was a little confused.

“A very special ability. If I’m not mistaken, it’s similar to a clone or a substitute.” Aizen explained calmly, “Well, it shouldn’t be a technology from Soul Society. Now, let’s not waste any more words. Are you still not going to accept my proposal, Abarai?”

Roar, Zabimaru!

At this moment, Renji dared not be careless in the slightest. Without the slightest hesitation, he released his Zanpakuto, Zabimaru, which charged straight at Aizen like a long whip.

"Shikai?" Aizen calmly raised his blade, blocking the attack. "You should know that with your wounded state, your Shikai won't be very powerful."

"Then let's give it a try!" Renji roared, the blade in his hand spinning once more.

Bang.

Surprisingly, Aizen managed to hold down this powerful strike with one hand. Not only that, but he also easily tore the entire Zabimaru off with a gentle tug.

Chapter 0562 Aizen's Power

"How is this possible..." Renji stared wide-eyed at the shattered pieces of his sword. "With just one hand..."

"Don't be so surprised, Abarai." As Aizen finished speaking, he was already standing behind Renji.

puff.

Another spurt of blood shot out.

Renji knelt on the ground, covered in blood, his eyes unfocused.

"The gap between us cannot be described with adjectives," Aizen said philosophically, raising his Zanpakuto high. "Farewell. No, it should be farewell forever."

Ding-dong.

A crisp sound.

The attack was blocked by Ichigo Kurosaki, who had rushed over. He glanced back at Renji and said, "Hey! Can you still stand up?"

"Ah, barely acceptable." Renji stood up slowly, trembling. "But you have to be careful. This guy isn't an enemy you can judge by common sense."

"Oops, he slipped past us by accident," Gin Ichimaru said apologetically, scratching his head.

"It's alright." Aizen waved his hand dismissively and said softly, "For the eyes, it makes no difference whether you remove one or two specks of dust."

"This guy is so arrogant!" Kurosaki Ichigo turned his head away and said, "Do you have any countermeasures?"

"Give it a try!" With that, Renji Abarai slammed the broken Zabimaru into the ground. "Now's the time, Ichigo! Take him down while I'm distracting him!"

Baboon teeth can bite!

Swish, swish, swish.

The blades that were originally scattered everywhere were instantly struck and shot towards Aizen like bone spikes.

Rumble.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, Ichigo Kurosaki, maintaining the Bankai of Tensa Zangetsu, swiftly slashed towards Aizen.

Unexpectedly, before the black Tensa Zangetsu could strike Aizen's body, it was easily blocked by Aizen's index finger. At the same time, Aizen's blade drew a deep blue arc in mid-air.

puff.

Blood splattered.

Kurosaki Ichigo collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.

"Oh dear, what a pity." Aizen smiled slightly. "I thought this strike would cut you in two."

"H-How is this possible?!" Renji was completely dumbfounded upon seeing this. He watched helplessly as Ichigo Kurosaki's body collapsed, and at that moment, Aizen's whereabouts suddenly vanished. "Gone?"

The thought had barely formed when he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder and collapsed to the ground.

"Come here, Rukia Kuchiki." At this moment, Aizen grabbed Rukia's collar as if she were a kitten. "Oh. Is it because your body can't move because it senses my spiritual pressure? Never mind, it's alright."

"Let go... Rukia!" A faint shout caught the attention of Aizen and Rukia.

"Oh, so you're still conscious. What remarkable vitality." Aizen smiled and said softly, "Vitality that isn't equal to strength is actually a flaw. Well, if it were your younger brother here right now, he might pose a slight threat to me. But anyway, your mission is already over."

"Mission? What did you say?" Kurosaki Ichigo asked, stunned.

"Oh dear, didn't Urahara Kisuke tell you?" Aizen shook his head and said, "It seems he was hiding something from you. But that's understandable, considering it's something so important."

"What's the meaning?"

"Let me be blunt. Do you really think I went to all this trouble just to kill a pitiful and innocent little girl?" Aizen chuckled and said, "That seems too boring. It doesn't serve my interests either. Well, the truth is, it's for that little thing inside her body. Its name is the Hogyoku. It can break through the boundaries between Shinigami and Hollows and fuse them into one."

"That's right, it was Kisuke Urahara who created it! Of course, he also sensed how terrifying this thing was. So he tried every means to hide its existence. He sealed it away, hiding it deep within other souls. Do you understand?"

"Inside Rukia's body?" Ichigo Kurosaki's face showed an expression of disbelief.

"Hmph, you guessed right." Just as Aizen finished speaking, a huge muffled thud came from mid-air.

"Aizen! You traitor!" The captain of the 7th Division, Komamura Sajin, suddenly appeared, his long sword slashing down from above towards the sky above Aizen's head.

"Ah, how boring." With a casual lift, Aizen grasped the opponent's blade and said helplessly, "This kind of attack is so tedious." He then gently tapped the blade with his right index and middle fingers together.

Hado No. 90: The Black Coffin!

Countless black, particle-like objects instantly sealed off Komamura Sajin, forming a rectangular black coffin. Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen shadow swords pierced through.

The moment the black coffin shattered, Komamura Sajin collapsed to the ground, covered in blood.

"Even the ninth-ranked dakatsu can forgo chanting, when did you learn that?" Gin Ichimaru exclaimed in amazement.

“No, actually, it failed.” Aizen shook his head and said, “The power is less than a third of what it was before. Where were we? Oh, right. It’s time to take out the Hogyoku.” As he spoke, he took out a potion from his pocket. After crushing it, countless piercing pillars appeared around him. The moment Aizen’s palm touched Rukia’s body again, it went straight into her soul and took out the Hogyoku.

"Hmm? That's a bit strange. Why is this Hogyoku in an unsealed state?"

Chapter 563: Shock and Confusion

As Aizen carefully examined the Hogyoku in his hand, his brows furrowed deeply.

What happened?! Given Urahara Kisuke's shrewdness and intelligence, he shouldn't have made such a careless mistake. Even if he had foreseen that he would be able to obtain the Hogyoku, he should have tried to find a way to annoy himself.

This is so strange, this is really unusual!

"Captain Aizen, is something wrong?" Gin Ichimaru, who was standing nearby, seemed to sense that Aizen was preoccupied and asked very kindly.

"No, it's nothing." Aizen waved his hand and said, "I just didn't expect that such a small thing could unleash such terrifying power. Moreover, Urahara Kisuke's technique is truly amazing. Even so, it didn't cause any damage to the opponent's soul."
