From Demon Slayer: Thunder Swordsman

"Merge the three realms and let this world return to chaos again..."

Listening to old man Yamamoto's advice, Kujo Tachibana rolled his eyes. What had he been doing before?

Without paying any attention to Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, Kujo Tachibana only looked at the two people standing in the Death God camp, and said with a smile: "Byakuya, and Captain Unohana... What, it's been less than a hundred years, and you don't recognize me anymore?"

Hearing this, both Unohana Retsu and Kuchiki Byakuya, as well as the many Shinigami around them, breathed a sigh of relief.

The tense atmosphere just now suddenly eased.

...

With a raised fist, he blasted open the space barrier of the Hueco Mundo. In the blink of an eye, Kujo Tachibana opened a black cavity passage with a diameter of one hundred meters.

"Let's go to Soul Society. I want to see what Aizen has prepared to plot against me!"

After saying this, Jiujo Ju walked into the black cavity passage on his own.

Erza and the other Hollows in Hueco Mundo immediately followed...

Seeing that Kujo Tachibana had brought so many Hollows into Soul Society, the Shinigami captains reacted and hurriedly supported the captain-general in front of them.

He brought old man Yamamoto and Kujo Tachibana back to Soul Society, leaving behind a certain idiot named Kenpachi Zaraki, who was still lost in a corner of Hueco Mundo.

-

But when Kujo Tachibana came to the Seireitei, he frowned tightly. Aizen and the people around him, such as Tosen Kaname, Ichimaru Gin, were not in the Soul Society.

Did he escape to the present world?

Or the Invisible Empire!

Jiujo Tachibana thought about it and waited until all the Shinigami had walked out of the passage.

Then he looked at Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni and the other Shinigami captains and said, "Aizen has left Soul Society. I will take you to another place."

After saying this, Jiujo Ju threw another punch, striking directly at the shadow below the Jinglingting building...

Looking at the huge ice crystal palace in front of them, all the gods of death were shocked!

There is actually such a place below the Jingling Courtyard...

But when he glanced at the empty ice crystal palace, Jiujo Ju frowned again!

Something is wrong!

Is this a powerful alliance between Aizen and Yhwach or a collusion between the two?

Jiujo Tachibana disappeared from here in the blink of an eye. He wanted to go and see the real world.

If there is still no trace of these two groups in the world, then they will only have one place to go...

-

Urahara Shoten - Main entrance.

Looking at the man and the cat lazily basking in the sun, Jiu Tiaoju shook his head helplessly. Although I don't need you two to help me, you can't be so lazy...

"Ah! Tachibana, it's been just over a month and you're back again? Have you figured out the problem you mentioned?" Urahara Kisuke raised his sunglasses and asked with surprise.

Kujo Tachibana nodded, and then continued: "Aizen ran away, well... not really running away, but I didn't find any trace of them in Hueco Mundo or Soul Society, so I came to the human world to look for them."

Upon hearing this, Shifengyuan Yoruichi immediately turned into a human form, but this time she was wearing a black leather jacket that Kujo Tachibana gave her last time.

"Tachibana, have you found Aizen in the real world?" asked Shihouin Yoruichi with a frown.

"No." Shaking his head, Kujo Tachibana said softly.

"Could it be that you missed something? If it's not in the Three Realms, where could Aizen go?" Shihouin Yoruichi asked again.

Kujo Tachibana looked at Shihouin Yoruichi and began to explain:

"No, as long as there is no barrier of large space such as Hueco Mundo, the real world, or Soul Society, my perception ability will not miss anything. Now the entire real world is within my monitoring range."

Hearing this, Shifengyuan Ye Ye couldn't help but secretly smack her lips, what an exaggerated ability...

But after Urahara Kisuke pondered for a moment, he suddenly looked up and said: "If what you said about your perception ability is correct, then I know where Aizen should be at this moment!"

"Soul King Palace!" Kujo Tachibana and Urahara Kisuke said in unison.

...

"But the Soul King Palace is guarded by the Zero Squad for a long time. Although Aizen is very powerful, I don't think he can defeat the Zero Squad." Urahara Kisuke added with some doubts.

Jiujo Ju shook his head and expressed his guess.

"There may be an enemy that you have forgotten... Aizen should have joined forces with him by now. Do you remember the two enemies I told you about in Hueco Mundo? One of them is Aizen, and the other is named - Youhabach!"

"Yhwach - the king of the Quincies a thousand years ago. In fact, he has another identity that you Shinigami don't know... the son of the Soul King! I suspect they want to absorb the Soul King..."

But before Kujo Tachibana could finish his explanation, a strange wave spread in the world.

Soon after, nearly a thousand people in this world died mysteriously for no apparent reason.

...

Sensing the situation of these people, Jiujo Tachibana only slowly uttered two words!

"Holy..."

"What is holiness?" Feeling the strange fluctuations, Urahara Kisuke and Shihouin Yoruichi asked in unison.

Kujo Tachibana thought for a moment before explaining, "The Soul King's son, Yhwach, is the king of all Quincy. He was born with the ability to deprive any Quincy of their power through a power called Divinity."

"The Holy One can take away the spiritual energy of other Quincies and return it to Youhabach's body to restore his strength... His ability is to collect the life and power of Quincies that Youhabach doesn't need."

"Those whose power is taken away will die, and those who are given power will be resurrected with a stronger power. Now it is certain that Youhabach and Aizen should be in the Soul King Palace at this moment."

-

Looking up at the sky, now knowing the specific movements of these two people, Kujo Tachibana was not in a hurry to look for them.

Sensing the soul inside the body that is about to become perfect.

Jiujo Ju turned around and blasted open another black cavity passage that led back to Xuye Palace.

His progress bar is almost there...

Chapter 28 A Different Aizen

Soul King Palace - With the completion of Yhwach's Holy Activation, unlike in the original story, this time Yhwach is not retained.

Not only did he absorb the power and vitality of all the half-blood Quincy in the world into his body, he also did not spare Yhwach, all the pure-blood Quincy members of the Sterncross Knights.

As the Quincy group completely disappeared from the world, a truly invincible monster was born in the world...

And this monster is named Aizen Sosuke!

At this time, Aizen Sosuke's appearance changed drastically. A half-disappeared bone mask covered the upper half of his face. The pair of eyes revealed behind the mask strangely grew a pair of "double pupils!"

A blood-red heart protected by ribs in his chest was exposed to the air, beating "thump...thump..."

At this moment, Aizen not only possessed the heart of Yhwach that contained all the power, but also, a few days ago, when all members of the Gotei 13 set out to conquer Hueco Mundo, he also found the Hogyoku that Urahara Kisuke hid in Soul Society under the guidance of Yhwach!

When escaping from Soul Society, Urahara Kisuke still buried the Hogyoku he created inside Kuchiki Rukia's body, just like in the original work.

However, all this could not escape Yhwach's nearly omniscient and omnipotent ability - Holy Word-A!

...

At this point, this monster formed by the combination of Aizen and Yhwach is only one step away from perfection...

And this is the last step!

It is to absorb the remaining power of the Spirit King in the world!

By then, this new combination of Aizen and Yhwach will truly have the ability to rule the three realms.

Why would Yhwach willingly give all his power to Aizen, merging with him and becoming one?

This is because Yhwach, who can see the future, knows that at this stage, it is impossible for any one of them to fight against Kujo Tachibana on their own.

And Kujo Tachibana will not give him time to calmly take back all his own power and absorb the power of the Soul King. Only by combining the power of Aizen and Hogyoku can he have the strength to fight against Kujo Tachibana!

This time, Yhwach and Aizen are going all in...

Well, they had no other choice.

If they don't go all in, they can only wait for Kujo Tachibana to come and take them down one by one. This is what Yhwach sees, and it is the future that will happen in the not too distant future!

It can be said that this turmoil in Soul Society was already a plan arranged in advance by Aizen and Yhwach, just to transfer the Gotei 13 and their captain-general, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, so that Aizen could safely complete his fusion with the Hogyoku.

But of course Yhwach is not so kind. He gave all his power to Aizen for free. It can be said that the two of them are now jointly controlling this body. As for who will be the dominant one, it depends on who is stronger.

Who is stronger, Aizen who has fused with the Hogyoku, or Yhwach who has taken back his power in advance and is not fully prepared?

No one knows this...

Unprecedented spiritual pressure was spreading wantonly in the Soul King Palace, causing all members of Squad Zero to feel a chill in their hearts!

At this time, the two people who came to the Palace of the Spirit King had to face their first obstacle.

As for Tosen Kaname and Ichimaru Gin, they disappeared just like the members of the Stern Cross Knights.

-

He is the leader of the Royal Secret Service Zero Squad!

He is also the original namer of all things in Soul Society, the most ancient and powerful god of death - Hyoshubu Ichibei!

If the captain of the Gotei 13, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, is the most powerful god of death active in Soul Society over the past thousand years, then Hyōshubu Ichibei can be said to be the god of death who was destined to be the most powerful since his birth.

Maybe, I should abandon someone now...

...

I saw a tall and strong bald man with very thick eyebrows and a beard that reached his chest. He had a wide nose and was wearing a Shinigami suit with a white wide-sleeved coat-style haori with the Zero Squad emblem embroidered on the back. It was none other than Hyoshubu Ichibei!

At this time, he was leading all the members of Squad Zero, blocking "Aizen" in front of him!

...

Hyoshubu Ichibei - Leader of Squad Zero, real name is Kuwasho - the one who names everything in Soul Society.

Kirinji Tenshiro - The Eastern God General, the first officer of Squad Zero, Izumi Yuki - the founder of Kaido, and the creator of medical hot springs.

Hikifune Kiryu - Southern Divine General, Second Officer of Squad Zero, Valley King - Created the technology to "transform souls" and "place them inside the body".

Nimaiya Oyue - Western God General, Third Officer of Squad Zero, God of Swords - the creator of Zanpakuto.

Shutara Senjumaru - the Northern God General, the fourth officer of Squad Zero, Oori-mori - the creator of the Death Hacō.

Squad Zero - All members present!

-

Without saying a word, after seeing the intruder who broke into the Soul King Palace without permission, Hyoshubu Ichibei, who came with the entire Zero Squad, waved the brush in his hand which was also his Zanpakutō "Ichimonji" and threw it at "Aizen" in front of him.

"Behead the name, not the flesh!"

This is the ability before the Ichimonji Brush is released. It can cut the name of the attacked opponent in half and reduce the opponent's power by half!

At the same time, facing the pressure brought by "Aizen", the other four members of the Zero Squad were not idle either. They each demonstrated their own abilities and launched attacks on him.

Kirinji Tenshiro: "Shikai, Amaterasu Ikki-Konbiga!"

Hikifune Kiryu: "Childbirth!"

Nimaiya Ouyue: "Zanpakuto-Shafu!"

Shutara Senjumaru: "Swastika - Sutra Kaluo Skeleton Thorn Luo Tsuji!"

...

But facing this overwhelming attack, Aizen at this time was expressionless and gently ejected himself, the Zanpakutō hanging on his waist...

"Shatter, mirror flower, water moon..."

Looking at this Zanpakutō, Hyoshubu Ichibei's expression instantly froze!

As the namer of all things in Soul Society, Hyoshubu Ichibei, who wields the Zanpakutō "Ichimonji", can see the true name and ability of any Shinigami's Zanpakutō.

Aizen's Mirror Flowers and Water Moon is of course no exception.

But just because he can see through it doesn't mean the other four members of Squad Zero can see through it, not to mention that this is Aizen who has combined the power of the Hogyoku and Yhwach...

The other four members of Team Zero, at the same time, launched their attacks fiercely at their teammates!

...
