I am Rufus, the strongest in all anime and manga crossovers.

Just seeing his eyes, which looked down on everything, was enough.

A gaze that scorns all life, a kingly aura that looks down upon the world.

This is the demeanor a continent-level powerhouse should possess.

This is the demeanor of a true strong person.

Ainz Ooal Gown was also startled.

Although both are top fighters on the power rankings, and although there is only a six-place difference between them.

However, there is an insurmountable gap in their strength.

Moreover, it was only after witnessing Aizen's sudden departure from Sousuke that he truly understood the gap between himself and the strong.

Compared to those at the continental level, a city-level powerhouse like myself is nothing but a joke.

The moment he saw Aizen, he was so frightened that his body involuntarily trembled.

Without the help of magic, he would probably have been frozen in fear like everyone else.

The coffee shop instantly became lively.

"Fuck!"

"Isn't that Hogyoku Aizen?"

"I can't believe my eyes, this is way too exaggerated!"

"Am I dreaming? A top expert from the Heavenly Ranking is actually right next to me."

"This is terrifying!"

"Shh... Keep your voice down. If you anger them and this continent is destroyed, it'll all be your fault!"

Amidst everyone's panic and shock.

The text and images in the sky have been updated again.

The Grim Reaper's signature background music suddenly roared in.

The desolate and lonely sound instantly drew all the listeners in.

To become a member of this world of death.

Two words appeared in the image.

"origin"

A brown-haired man with glasses and an incredibly kind smile appeared in the picture.

If you look closely, you'll see that this man is Aizen Kosuke, but his demeanor and appearance are quite different from those on the Heavenly Ranking.

He has a group of students, and he is their teacher.

He was curious—curious about the nature of power, curious about how to become even stronger.

This curiosity drove him to utter madness.

Ultimately, it took over his entire being, driving him to pursue power beyond the limits of death at any cost.

Driven by a thirst for power, he murdered his comrades, framed other captains, and forced several other captains of the Soul Society's 13th Division to flee Soul Society.

But even after doing all that, he was still not satisfied. Until one day, a true opportunity arrived, and the ultimate power he had been seeking, the Hogyoku, appeared.

Aizen and Sosuke finally revealed their true colors, stealing the Hogyoku and killing all enemies in their path.

Everyone hates and fears him; he has become the greatest enemy of the entire Soul Society.

The scene shifts again, showing Aizen engrossed in studying the Hogyoku in his hand.

His power also grew stronger and stronger.

At the same time, he used this power to expand his own power, not only enabling his subordinates to gain power beyond the limit, but also allowing some Hollows in Hueco Mundo to gain power beyond that of Hollows and Shinigami under his influence.

He shared his power.

This act was magnificent; from that moment on, the power between Shinigami and Hollows was completely shattered.

The void is not merely a void, and Death is not simply Death.

[An even more powerful form has emerged: Soul Reapers have become Hollowfied, and Hollowfaces have become Hollows, giving rise to this phenomenon.]

But this is just the beginning.

Aizen chose to fuse himself with the Hogyoku, the essence of power.

With the blessing of the Hogyoku, he gained almost invincible power.

In the scene, Aizen of the Hogyoku finally appears in his final fusion state, an ultimate monster formed by the fusion of a white Hollow and a black Shinigami. A slit resembling an eye has appeared in the center of his forehead, his face has turned completely black, and his weapon has completely fused with his body. Just by appearing, his immense power causes the surrounding space to begin to collapse.

[Aizen suddenly transforms Sousuke into an ultimate monster, possessing true immortality; no matter how he is destroyed, he can rapidly regenerate his divine body.]

A single glance, and the white light flashing from their eyes, is enough to destroy everything within sight.

[In its ultimate state, it can unleash a powerful wave centered on itself. This wave extends infinitely outward in a circular pattern, destroying everything it encounters. Even a continent would be completely annihilated under such an attack.]

Aizen's strength is undeniable; he possesses truly formidable power, and his ranking here is well-deserved.

As the music ended, the oppressive melody belonging to the Grim Reaper vanished.

But the world as a whole fell into even greater repression.

People stared wide-eyed, too frightened to breathe.

The image of the final blow destroying a continent lingered in their minds, leaving them unable to let go for a long time.

Everyone was utterly shocked.

They even forgot to breathe, unable to control their trembling bodies from sheer astonishment.

After a long while, someone finally let out a long, trembling sigh.

"Is this... the power of a continent-level expert?"

"This is...too powerful!"

"Breaking through the Grim Reaper realm, the ultimate power of the Hollow Realization!"

(Please give me flowers and recommendation votes, thank you readers!)

Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Confidence of the Weak (Seeking Flowers and Recommendations)

Within the Soul Society.

The Grim Reapers have gone mad.

They knew Aizen was powerful, but they didn't expect him to be this powerful.

"It turns out that Captain Aizen, whom we fought, has actually reached the continental level in strength."

No wonder the captains sacrificed so much.

"How did they manage to defeat such a terrifying guy back then?"

The vice-captain and the high-ranking officers were filled with fear.

They had all participated in the war against Aizen and knew all too well just how terrifying he was.

Although I had guessed he would be on the list, I was still very shocked when I actually saw it.

Moreover, they were terrified.

Because being on this leaderboard isn't for nothing; those who make it will receive rewards.

Based on past experience, the rewards are generally based on the strength of those who make the list.

In other words, Aizen will become even more powerful.

So... now that Aizen has become even more powerful, are the original seals still effective?

If that horrible guy comes out again.

Is there anyone in Soul Society who can defeat him?

And at this moment, the reward they feared was also updated.

[Ranked 44th in the Power Ranking: Aizen in his Hogyoku form receives the following reward: Hogyoku Chains. By fusing these with the Hogyoku, one can obtain a fully subjugated Hogyoku.]

[Family Reward: Aizen's family will gain the power to break through the boundaries of Hollows and Shinigami, causing Shinigami to become Hollows and Hollows to become Arrancars, allowing humans to simultaneously obtain the powers of both Hollows and Shinigami.]

Inside the Seireitei (Seireitei Garden).

Standing at the rear, Yhwach looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with excitement.

He didn't care about Aizen's introduction; what he cared about was his reward.

As far as he knew, the reason Aizen was ultimately defeated was that the Hogyoku abandoned him. If the Hogyoku had not abandoned him, the outcome of the final battle might not have been the same.

This completely subjugated Hogyoku is arguably the reward Aizen needed most.

The Battle Power Ranking urgently needs to solve his most pressing problem.

"If it were me, could the power rankings solve my problem?"

Raingrain Hasward spoke up at the opportune moment:

"Your Majesty, there is no doubt that you are on the ranking list, but your current position is too high, and it is not yet your turn."

Yhwach nodded.

He thought it made a lot of sense; a mere continental-level power was nothing in front of him.

If they reveal themselves too early, then this ranking list might be problematic.

"What you said makes sense."

"I'm really interested to see where this ranking will place me."

Raingrain Hasward lowered his head and said:

"With Your Majesty's invincible power, you are naturally number one."
