"How...how could this be..." Ichigo Kurosaki was dumbfounded, stammering, "Just with his own fists, he..."
"That's truly an exaggerated level of power." Even Gin Ichimaru looked shocked and said, "To be able to defeat Captain Aizen at this stage with just physical strength, he's a terrifying young man. But, it's not over yet. Captain Aizen's strength... or rather, the strength of the Hogyoku, is definitely more than this."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Aizen's body rose to his feet, seemingly unharmed. No, not exactly unharmed. At least the solidified substance on his skin had begun to crumble into chunks, peeling away like cement towards the ground.
Chapter 627: The Strongest Form
A powerful spiritual pressure erupted from Aizen's body.
It's clear that Aizen, having entered this stage, is far more powerful than in the previous two! Before, the Hogyoku merely conformed to Aizen's form, aiding his evolution. Now, however, the Hogyoku and Aizen have completely merged. The two have become one.
"Tsk tsk, another step forward." Looking at Aizen's slow approach, Mugetsu didn't seem too surprised and said, "Very good, even faster than I expected."
"Kurosaki Mugetsu," Aizen said in a deep voice, "Do you think you can hold me back with such pointless words? It's useless. I'll show you what true strength is." As he spoke, his eyes suddenly flickered.
Boom!
A terrifying spiritual pressure suddenly rose from all directions around Aizen. Under this overwhelming force, the surrounding ground instantly shattered. Even the ruins of buildings, rubble, and dirt instantly turned into dust and dissipated into the sky.
"Not good!" Kurosaki Ichigo instinctively realized something was wrong. He quickly dodged backward. At the same time, the spiritual pressure barrier spread to his feet, forming a dazzling, blazing white light shield.
Hu Chi.
When all the light and dust dissipated, Wuyue stood there somewhat disheveled, her clothes tattered. "Really. It seems my assessment was somewhat wrong; your spiritual pressure is stronger than I imagined."
"An estimate?" Aizen instinctively sensed the key point and said indifferently, "From what you're saying, you're estimating the power I'll gain after fusing with the Hogyoku? How presumptuous of you, human."
"Arrogant?" Wuyue sneered, "Actually, you're afraid, aren't you? Because I'm still so calm. I haven't even revealed my trump card, yet I've been able to estimate the strength that can fight you step by step. Think back carefully, from just now until now. How much has your spiritual pressure increased? And hasn't your fight with me just made up for that increase?"
silence.
Aizen frowned. He was genuinely puzzled by this. No matter how much Aizen's spiritual pressure increased, the boy before him remained completely at ease. This was astounding! It was as if the Hogyoku, while enhancing his own power, had also passively enhanced Aizen's. Or perhaps, he had been concealing his true strength all along?
But is that even possible?
"Nothing is impossible." As if seeing through his thoughts, Wuyue said calmly, "What you call impossible is just wishful thinking on your part. To put it bluntly, everything that is happening to you now is within my control and expectations. Even if there are some deviations, it doesn't matter."
"Ridiculous! Mere humans!" Aizen was clearly wavering. But at this crucial moment, a sword suddenly pierced his back.
"You were careless, Captain Aizen." Gin Ichimaru said softly with a standard foxy smile, "Because you were misled by Muzuki-kun, you entered a dazed state. You wouldn't have done something like this before."
"You're the one who was careless, Gin," Aizen said coldly. "Do you think you can harm me with an attack like that?"
"Is it really not allowed?" Gin Ichimaru retorted, drawing his own blade. A small nick was clearly visible on the blade. "Captain Aizen, you don't know the true Bankai ability of my Zanpakuto, do you? My God Slayer Spear is poison! Just a tiny bit of carrier is enough to dissolve cells."
what? !
Suddenly, Aizen finally sensed something was wrong. His chest was instantly corroded. It was as if a huge hole had been torn open, and the surrounding flesh was being continuously decomposed. "Gin! You bastard..." Finally, Aizen felt an emotion called fear! This was something he had never felt before. An emotion he had forgotten in the long river of history.
However, fear was of no use. The potent poison quickly dissolved in his heart and spread outwards as if burning.
"Don't be nervous, Captain Aizen." Gin Ichimaru placed his right hand on Aizen's chest and said calmly, "Isn't opening a hole in your chest exactly what you wanted?" Looking at the Hogyoku floating in mid-air, he slightly raised his hand.
However, at that moment, a powerful beam of light suddenly shot out, bursting from Aizen's body and enveloping him entirely.
"What's going on?" Gin Ichimaru was completely taken aback by what he saw, his face showing shock.
"The Hogyoku is all that's mine." Aizen floated slowly in mid-air, a hole appearing in his chest. At the same time, a slit resembling an eye appeared on his forehead, his eyebrows disappeared, and three pairs of enormous butterfly wings sprouted from his back. "Whether it's inside me or not, it will eventually return to me. Thanks to your attack, I completed the evolution of my fourth form. I thank you, Gin."
"Why...why is this happening..." In the instant that Gin Ichimaru was stunned, Aizen appeared before him as if in a flash. At the same time, he raised the blade of his right hand.
Chapter 628: The Sky Collapses and the Earth Rises
Ding-dong.
Aizen's unstoppable strike was blocked by Mugetsu. Behind him, Gintoki Ichimaru seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. "I almost thought I was going to die, Mugetsu-kun."
"I told you before, your method won't work." Wuyue shook her left hand and said, "In this state, it's almost impossible for him to die."
“No matter what, we have to try.” Gin Ichimaru shook his head stubbornly and said, “I want to resolve this battle in my own way.”
“However, you have lost.” Wuyue breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Step back. The situation is no longer something you can interfere with.”
"Back off?" Aizen sneered. "You really think you can do that, Gin?" Before he finished speaking, he transformed into a purple beam of light, instantly teleporting behind Gin Ichimaru.
Such speed cannot be described simply as "Instant Step"! Aizen at this moment is like a beam of light. Light speed! Giving no one any time to react.
Gin Ichimaru's narrowed eyes slowly widened. In the slow-motion world, Aizen's blade swung down towards his head.
However, just as the blade was about to strike his head, it suddenly stopped for some unknown reason.
"Hmm?" Aizen narrowed his eyes and said, "What is this? A barrier?"
"You think that thing can trap you?" Wuyue laughed nonchalantly and said, "That's my ability. The ability of my Zanpakuto. Although the power of time can't work on you because of the Hogyoku, it can at least temporarily control your movements."
"I see." Aizen nodded and said, "A spatial binding ability? But even so, you still can't kill me."
“Indeed. I never intended to kill you with this ability.” Mugetsu sent Ichimaru Gin out of this alternate dimension before saying, “However, I promised to protect him. As a man, keeping promises is very important.”
"A promise?" Aizen chuckled lightly, seemingly dismissive. "I'd like to know. If I kill you, what method will you use to protect him? Not just Gin Ichimaru, but your brother, your family, and all your lovely girls will die by my sword."
"Do you think you can do it?" Wuyue's tone gradually turned cold.
"That's the question I should be asking you." Aizen calmly raised his head and said, "With my current power, what makes you think you're immune to death?"
Swish.
With a flash of light, as if breaking free from some kind of restraint, the blade slashed straight at Wuyue.
Humph.
With a flick of his right hand, Wu Yue seemingly blocked the opponent's slash with ease. But immediately afterward, he was sent flying backward. He paused in mid-air for a moment before swooping down again.
Ding-dong.
The two Zanpakuto clashed once again.
"Oh, you actually managed to block it." Aizen seemed a little surprised and asked, "Is it because of this peculiar space?"
"It's amazing you noticed." Wuyue grinned and said, "Indeed. If it were a direct attack, your attack just now would have been enough to cause me fatal damage. However, within my alternate dimension, even if the power of time cannot be used on you, it can be used on me. Instantly erase factors that are unfavorable to me and turn them into advantages."
"I see." Aizen nodded and said, "It is indeed a troublesome ability. However, if I am not mistaken, every power has a weakness. Even time and space-based powers are no exception. How long can your ability last under intense combat?" With a flick of his right hand, an incomparably powerful sword pressure shot out.
· ········Requesting flowers· ······
Wuyue wielded the sword with one hand, shifting its position. At the same time, she unleashed an incomparably powerful sword pressure.
Boom!
The two forces collided, like terrifying energies completely incompatible with each other. A powerful gust of wind was generated by the force of the air.
sizzle.
A deafening explosion, like an arc of electricity, rang out in mid-air. Immediately afterward, the entire earth seemed to be ripped apart as if struck by a giant boulder, instantly crumbling and cracking. Countless stones and fragments of earth were propelled high into the air before plummeting back down.
Swish.
Both figures simultaneously staggered back several steps.
Mugetsu gripped the blade tightly, a serious expression on his face. Aizen, on the other hand, frowned, and a third eye slowly opened on his forehead.
Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere became extremely tense. As if by unspoken agreement, the two figures clashed again. The sky resounded like a thousand thunderclaps. The entire earth's surface resembled bamboo shoots sprouting in spring, with sharp spikes crackling and popping up from the ground.
"Hmph!" With a cold snort, Wuyue swung his right hand and stepped forward again. In mid-air, his figure instantly transformed into dozens of afterimages, and thousands of sword lights suddenly lit up, all attacking Aizen at the same time.
"Hado #81, Danku!" Aizen raised an eyebrow, lifted his left hand, and chanted softly.
buzzing.
A semi-transparent shield of light rose up. Mugetsu's afterimage struck the shield, producing a series of clear ringing sounds. At the same time, his true form entered Aizen's attack range. A weapon pierced his abdomen.
puff.
The blade pierced the skin but couldn't advance any further. Aizen, however, held the blade in one hand and chuckled, "I've got you, Mugetsu-kun."
Chapter 629: A Battle Beyond the World
Bang.
A crisp sound.
The surrounding transparent barrier shattered like a mirror, turning into particles that dissipated into the air.
"It'll be over by then, Kurosaki Mugetsu."
As he spoke, Aizen on the other side underwent a complete transformation.
A slit resembling an eye appeared on his forehead, his face turned black, and the skin that had previously covered his face was torn in the middle and placed on either side of the black face. Three holes appeared on his upper body, with the Hogyoku inside the uppermost hole, and his Zanpakuto fused with his right hand. Each of his original six enormous butterfly wings now had a skull growing from its ridge. In this state, Aizen no longer possessed any of the "857" characteristics of a human or a Shinigami, as if he had completely become a Hollow.
With a flick of his left hand, countless rings bound Wuyue's body, binding her layer by layer, while simultaneously, countless blazing white lights flashed forth.
"What, what is that?" Kurosaki Ichigo asked in utter shock.
"Not good!" Gin Ichimaru's pupils contracted. The blazing white light suddenly exploded, its immense and powerful force shooting straight into the sky.
Kara, Kara.
The sky shattered and the earth turned upside down. Under this extremely powerful explosive force, even space itself was cracked.
"Hahahaha, hahahaha!" Like a genetically mutated creature, Aizen laughed wildly, throwing his head back. "Foolish! Foolish humans, foolish mortals! You have no chance against me anymore!"
call.
A gentle breeze blew by.
Apart from Aizen's arrogant laughter, there was no other sound in the entire world.
Just as Aizen turned around and glanced at Ichigo Kurosaki, a figure suddenly appeared and blocked his way. "What an ugly sight. Even though I was somewhat prepared, it's still disgusting to look at."
"Huh? You're still alive?" Aizen asked, sounding extremely surprised.
"I told you, you want to kill me. It's impossible." Wuyue said calmly, as a dragon head mask gradually covered her face.
"Hollowfication?" Aizen sneered, "You should know that Hollowfication is of no use to me!"
"Is that so?" Wuyue smiled slightly, raised her right hand covered by a bony carapace, and threw a punch.
Bang.
A tremendous sonic boom.
Aizen's body was sent flying like a kite with a broken string. After spinning several times in mid-air, he finally landed.
"What?!" Aizen stared in horror at the gaping hole in his chest. "You bastard, what is it...?"
"This is my original form." Having transformed into a giant dragon three meters tall with wings on its back, Wuyue said calmly, "You can think of it as Resurrection."
"Resurrect your Zanpakuto? That's impossible! Humans, how could mere humans do that!" Aizen felt his worldview crumble.
