Chapter 617: The Death of Tosen Kaname
"But there's nothing we can do about it." With a sigh, Hirako took two more steps forward. "We can only try before he makes a move."
"Before he makes a move?" Aizen sneered. "From what you're saying, you're quite confident that the boy can take me down. You have a lot of faith in him?"
“Of course.” Hirako chuckled and said, “He’s our leader, after all. Well, it’s hard for you to understand, since you don’t trust your comrades.”
"So-called trust and dependence mean the same thing; they are the actions of the weak," Aizen said calmly. "I don't need that kind of thing."
"Heh, someone with so many subordinates can actually say such things." Hirako raised his head and said, "You've said a lot of sweet talk to them, haven't you?"
"Quite the opposite." Aizen's expression remained unchanged. "I have never said anything to make them believe me. In fact, I often remind them not to trust anyone, including me. Sadly, there aren't many strong enough to enforce this rule. All creatures will believe in a leader stronger than themselves. If they don't blindly follow, they cannot survive."
"So, to escape this pressure, those who are trusted have no choice but to seek out someone even stronger. This cycle leads to the emergence of what is known as a king. You still don't believe me, Captain Hirako. But that's alright, I'll show you how to believe with the facts."
Seeing the situation here, Tosen Kaname on the other side looked surprised. "I really didn't expect that Lord Aizen would stand on the front line. Since Lord Aizen has shown up, it means that I will use my true strength to deal with you."
"True strength?" Komamura Sajin raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is it Bankai?"
"Bankai?" With a sneer, Tosen said, "Don't make me laugh. How can something like Bankai be considered a power bestowed by Lord Aizen?" As he spoke, he slowly raised his hand to cover his cheek.
Boom!
A powerful spiritual pressure enveloped him, enveloping his entire being. Wearing a pure white mask, Tosen Kaname came into the sight of Komamura and Hisagi Shuhei.
"Tosen! You've actually fallen this low!" Komamura Sajin's eyes widened in disbelief. "You bastard..."
"That...that's Hollowfication?" Hisagi Shuhei asked in astonishment. "Captain Tosen's Hollowfication?"
“That’s right, it’s Hollowfication.” Before the words had even finished, Tosen Kaname suddenly appeared in front of Hisagi Shuhei and slashed down with his sword.
puff.
Blood splattered as Hisagi Shuhei lost his balance and collapsed to the ground.
"Divine retribution!" Komamura Sajin suddenly attacked, unleashing his Shikai sword strike.
However, this level of attack was clearly useless against the intangible Tosen Kaname, who dodged it and kicked him away.
"That's strange," Tosen Kaname said calmly. "You all consider the Hollowfied Mask and that boy as your allies, so why do you look down on me?"
"Completely different!" Komamura Sajin said coldly. "Neither Kurosaki Ichigo nor the Visoreds wanted to become Hollows! And you, despite having the power of a Shinigami! The power of Bankai, you still fell to this state!" As he spoke angrily, he drew his sword, BJDA Blade.
Bankai! Black Rope Heavenly Punishment Myōō!
A colossal black giant rose from the ground, slashing at Higashisen Kaname with its blade. Terrifying blade energy erupted, its immense power even tearing through the air.
Awoo!
At that moment, Tosen Kaname suddenly let out a roar that was unlike anything in human form. His arms grew larger and larger, and he abruptly raised his hands to block the attack of the Heavenly Punishment King. At the same time, his body underwent a drastic change, transforming from his original human form into the shape of a giant fly.
"Hehehe, this feeling!" Tosen shouted loudly, "Yes, this is the feeling! The feeling of evolution! I'm going to open my eyes, I can open my eyes now!" He struggled to open his eyes, and his eyelids could be clearly seen trembling violently. But the final result was unbelievable.
The two hemorrhoid patches were firmly fixed between his eyes. No matter how hard he tried, the patches wouldn't budge.
"No! Why?! Damn it!! That damned guy! Kurosaki Muzuki!"
puff.
Just as he shouted, a blade suddenly appeared behind him, its edge pressed against his throat.
"You were careless, Captain Tosen." Hisagi Shuhei slowly sliced through the wind in his hand, saying calmly, "Because you were too excited, you clouded your senses. Let's stop here."
puff.
A muffled thud.
The blade sliced open Tosen's mask, instantly dissipating his Hollow power and allowing him to revert to his Shinigami form.
"Tosen." Komamura Sajin stepped forward, seemingly wanting to say something. But then a muffled crack was heard. Tosen's entire body turned into a pool of blood, exploding instantly. Not even a trace of flesh remained.
"Tosen!" Komamura Sajin roared in a piercing rage. He saw that his friend had left nothing behind except for the two hemorrhoid patches. This filled him with intense fury, and he screamed, "Aizen! You bastard!"
"Hmph." Aizen merely smiled dismissively, then turned his gaze to Hirako in front of him. "What, you're not planning to attack? But be careful, Captain Hirako. You only have one chance."
Chapter 618: Powerful and terrifying!
“Give me a chance?” Hirako Shinji sneered. “Are you kidding me? Do you think you’re that kind of merciful guy? I don’t think so.”
“You seem to have misunderstood something, Captain Hirako.” Aizen placed his right hand on the hilt of his sword and said calmly, “What I mean is, I’m giving you a chance to die by my blade.”
"Oh, so you've finally drawn your sword?" Hirako Shinji grinned and said, "How leisurely you are. Are you scared, Aizen?"
silence.
Aizen simply gazed at the other person calmly.
“Even if you ignore me, it won’t change anything.” Hirako Shinji held his sword horizontally across his chest and said, “No matter how strong you are, you’ll still feel uneasy, right? You said a hundred years ago that I was unwilling to open my heart to you, nor to exchange any information with you. I didn’t want to get close to you either. So, you probably don’t understand the power of my Zanpakuto, Aizen. If you think that only your Kyoka Suigetsu can completely control the other person, you’re wrong.”
Fall down! Reverse Fist!
A buzzing sound filled the air, like countless bees fluttering around your ear, but aside from that, it seemed no different from usual.
However, Hirako Shinji's Zanpakuto had transformed into a katana with rings. Small, round holes could be seen along the blade, making the entire sword look quite peculiar.
"The shape of your sword is truly peculiar," Aizen commented aptly. "Quite interesting."
"Isn't that great?" Hirako smiled slightly and said, "But I won't lend it to you."
“A boring trick.” Aizen shook his head and said, “I didn’t feel any changes. Was what you said about controlling my nerves true?”
"Didn't you notice?" Hirako grinned. "It's changed a long time ago. Don't you smell a wonderful fragrance?"
what?
Aizen narrowed his eyes. Before he could speak, Hirako added, "If you're going to hold your breath now, it's too late. Welcome to the upside-down world."
Suddenly, Aizen's vision shifted unexpectedly. The sky was below, the ground above. Even the arrangement of the buildings became incomprehensible.
“You’ve discovered it, haven’t you? This is the power of the reverse-flowing blade.” Hirako flicked his blade and said, “It’s like a trap in Tetris, pretty annoying, isn’t it? Well, you don’t really have a chance to be annoying anymore.”
"It's quite interesting indeed. Up and down, left and right. Everything's upside down." As he spoke, Aizen suddenly drew his sword and looked behind him. "And the front and back too. Did you think I didn't notice?"
puff.
But the next second, Aizen's gaze suddenly froze. A spurt of blood shot out from his arm.
"Hmph, it seems you still don't understand," Hirako sneered. "Even if you see your direction with your naked eye, your actions will be the opposite. Can you process this in your mind and make the correct reaction in an instant? That's impossible! The more experienced a person is, the more their body will fight reflexively!" With that, Hirako drew his sword and charged forward again.
This time, however, Aizen appeared easily behind him. He calmly said, "What? It's just an illusion created by your eyes. Compared to my power to control my senses, you're far inferior. You'll get used to it. This is just a child's game, Hirako Shinji."
puff.
Blood splattered.
A pool of blood gushed out from behind Hirako Shinji, and his body became hunched over.
"I don't understand." Aizen flicked the blood from the tip of his sword and said calmly, "Why did you all become that boy's pawns? He was afraid of my power and dared not face me directly. So you were used to test and wear him down. Don't you understand, Hirako Shinji?"
· ········Requesting flowers·· ····
“Of course you’d say that if you don’t trust your comrades,” Hirako said through gritted teeth. “You say he’s afraid of you? That’s impossible! He simply wants us to take revenge in our own way!”
"Oh, is that so?" Aizen seemed too lazy to argue any further and raised his Zanpakuto. But before he could swing it, a figure suddenly appeared behind him.
Crescent Moon Sky Slash!
A black crescent moon erupted, enveloping Aizen in a terrifying surge of spiritual pressure. Unexpectedly, a hexagonal, transparent shield suddenly rose behind Aizen, blocking all of Ichigo Kurosaki's attacks.
"We meet again, young wanderer." Aizen turned his head, looking at him calmly. "Your attack just now was quite good. But the positioning was off. The back of the neck is a creature's biggest blind spot. Do you think I dared to join the battle unprepared?"
Damn it! I was too careless!
Ichigo Kurosaki felt a pang of regret. He should have used Hollowfication before launching that attack.
"Let me guess what you're thinking." Aizen smiled slightly and said, "You think you made a mistake and should have used Hollowfication before attacking, right? Then come and try it and see how naive your idea is."
With a cold glint in his eyes, Kurosaki Ichigo instantly entered Hollowfication mode. A terrifying spiritual pressure surged forth, and simultaneously, powerful pillars of spiritual pressure coiled around his Zanpakuto. "Getsuga Tenshou!"
Suddenly.
The violent spiritual pressure surged towards Aizen like a tidal wave.
However, faced with an attack of this caliber, Aizen calmly raised his blade and easily cleaved the black crescent moon in two.
Chapter 619: All-Out Offensive
How could that be...?
Ichigo Kurosaki was completely stunned. He couldn't believe that his ultimate attack had been so easily blocked by his opponent.
"Why attack from such a distance?" Aizen said calmly. "If you want to increase the power, you should get closer. Or are you afraid that my closeness will put pressure on you?"
Gradually, the mask on Ichigo Kurosaki's face slowly fell off, revealing his true appearance.
"If that's the case, then it's ridiculous." Aizen looked at him calmly, and even though they were hundreds of meters apart, Kurosaki Ichigo could still see the mockery on his lips. "The 'zero-forty' distance only makes sense when both sides are evenly matched."
Kurosaki Ichigo's face was solemn, and he remained silent.
"Don't you believe me?" Aizen smiled and said, "Look..." As if teleporting, he appeared in front of Kurosaki Ichigo, his fingers touching his chest. "It's that simple, yet I can touch your heart."
Shocked, stunned, and incredulous!
Kurosaki Ichigo instinctively swung his blade, aiming at Aizen.
However, Aizen easily dodged the attack, calmly saying, "I have a question for you, young traveler. Why did you swing your blade at me? Do you harbor any resentment towards me? Probably not. Was it because of your brother's orders? Or do you personally feel it's an honor to defeat me?"
“I don’t think so,” Aizen said with a smile. “Even your brother has no grudge against me. Otherwise, he would have rushed over immediately. So you are only wielding your sword against me out of a sense of responsibility. You can’t hurt me like that. Wielding a blade without resentment is like an eagle without wings. Who can you protect? Those incompetent comrades will only become your stumbling blocks.”
shake!
It has to be said that Aizen's methods of deceiving people are truly terrifying. Even a hot-blooded young man like Ichigo Kurosaki was completely fooled.
"Calm down, Kurosaki Ichigo." Just then, Komamura Sajin grabbed Kurosaki Ichigo's hand and said, "Don't let him sway you. Otherwise, everything will be over. In the current situation, only the two of you brothers can face Aizen. Therefore, you won't see Aizen's Shikai. We will protect you."
Swish swish.
As soon as he finished speaking, all the captains and the masked figures flashed over and surrounded Kurosaki Ichigo.
"To protect me?" Kurosaki Ichigo looked shocked. "Don't push yourself too hard. You're all already covered in wounds!"
“Not at all.” Hirako Shinji sighed and said, “Ten years ago, your brother said that if he hadn’t intervened, even if we all attacked together, we wouldn’t have been able to harm a single hair on Aizen’s head. I still remember it vividly. I can’t swallow this! Kurosaki Ichigo, you are our hope! You don’t want to live in your brother’s shadow forever, do you?”
“I…” Mr. Kurosaki Ichigo paused for a moment, then nodded seriously. “Yes.”
call out.
No sooner had he finished speaking than Toshiro rushed forward. He brandished his sword and attacked Aizen directly.
