Aizen's expression was ecstatic. Having evolved once more, he felt he could finally go toe-to-toe with Shin Uzumaki. He believed he now possessed that level of power.
Of course, that was just Aizen's own delusion. He believed he had the power to challenge Shin.
"Radiant Rupture."
He fired a blast at Shin, but faced with the attack, Shin didn't even bother to dodge. He simply lifted a hand.
"Bakudō #81: Dankū."
That's right. With a single Dankū, he effortlessly blocked Aizen's terrifying attack. An attack that could have leveled ten cities was stopped cold, and Shin had done it without breaking a sweat. The mighty Aizen, before Shin, was as helpless as an infant.
"That's impressive," Shin noted. "But even with this power, you're still no match for me. Though, I admit... you've at least made me pay attention."
This was not the kind of acknowledgment Aizen wanted. He didn't want to be recognized for merely forcing Shin to use a fraction of his strength. He wanted to defeat him.
"Ultimate Radiant Rupture."
This attack was even stronger than the last, so terrifyingly powerful that it seemed to tear at the very fabric of space.
"Bankai: Zanka no Tachi."
To show Aizen the respect he was due, Shin activated the Bankai of Ryūjin Jakka. The moment he saw it, even Yamamoto couldn't remain calm.
Though he had suspected Shin could use Bankai, seeing it with his own eyes sent a shock through him that he couldn't suppress.
"Zanka no Tachi, Kita: Tenchi Kaijin." (North: Heaven and Earth End in Ashes)
A devastating slash of pure destruction surged toward Aizen. As for Aizen's own attack, it was evaporated into nothingness before it could even fully form. In the next instant, Aizen himself was incinerated. freewebnøvel.coɱ
"Terrifying... as expected of the Head-Captain's Bankai."
Kyōraku, having just arrived in Hueco Mundo, witnessed the entire scene. He glanced at Yamamoto, a hint of teasing in his tone.
"It can't feel good to see someone else wield the power you've mastered, right?"
Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni shot Kyōraku a look. Though his eyes seemed calm, they carried an unspoken threat that sent a shiver down Kyōraku's spine.
Kyōraku immediately shut his mouth. Now was the time to keep quiet, otherwise, who knew what consequences he might face. He was smart enough to deliberately avoid Yamamoto's gaze, hoping not to be targeted.
In reality, he was already on the old man's list. Yamamoto just didn't have the time to deal with him at the moment.
Still, Kyōraku couldn't help but shudder. He should have kept his mouth shut. Now he was probably done for.
"Ahem, do you all think Aizen can win?" Kyōraku quickly changed the subject.
"Are you hoping Aizen wins or something?" Yoruichi glared at him. Beside her, Soi Fon had already released her Shikai, her eyes fixed on Kyōraku with a cold, murderous glint.
Kyōraku wanted to slap himself. Why did he always manage to offend someone the moment he opened his mouth? Especially women. Women held grudges—who knew when he'd get ambushed?
"Aizen has absolutely no chance of winning. Shin hasn't even gotten serious," Retsu Unohana said.
Her words made the others look closer. They hadn't noticed before, but now they saw it—Shin's expression had been completely calm from the very beginning.
He wasn't serious. Not in the slightest. He was practically toying with Aizen.
So the question remained: just how strong was Shin Uzumaki? Where did he get this terrifying power?
By now, Aizen's power had surpassed Yamamoto's. Even in Bankai, Yamamoto wasn't confident he could take down the current Aizen.
Mainly because Aizen was now immortal. Even after being utterly incinerated by Shin, Aizen's body reformed in an instant. That was his most terrifying quality.
Forget his offensive and defensive power—the ability to resurrect after death was simply broken.
"To defeat Aizen now, we'd have to find a way to strip him of his power and seal him away. Otherwise, I don't see how he can be stopped," Kyōraku said.
"Just because you can't think of a way doesn't mean Shin-sama can't. Don't you dare put yourself on the same level as him," Soi Fon shot back, giving Kyōraku an irritated look.
Kyōraku was left speechless, unable to argue.
"Then let's hope Shin can show us how to deal with Aizen. Otherwise, this will be a catastrophe for the Soul Society."
His expression turned grim. Though usually laid-back and lazy, looking at Aizen now, he had to be serious.
Even though Aizen was still getting thrashed, as long as he couldn't be killed, the battle wasn't over.
"Kisuke Urahara, you created the Hōgyoku. Do you have a solution?"
Soi Fon asked Urahara.
Though she believed Shin could handle the situation, if there was any way to help, she would find it.
"A solution, you ask?"
Urahara looked a little helpless. Honestly, a lot of people here didn't like him, because it was he who had researched and created the Hōgyoku.
Well, Aizen had also researched his own, but not everyone knew that.
"Honestly, I knew how dangerous the Hōgyoku was from the moment it was created. But as for a solution, I don't have one. And from the looks of it, you don't need me right now," Urahara said.
Soi Fon stared at him, unsure if he was telling the truth. She had no goodwill towards him and even felt the urge to beat him up.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
A loud explosion rang out, and Aizen's body was once again completely annihilated by Zanka no Tachi. The Hōgyoku fell to the ground nearby. The spectating Shinigami felt a surge of excitement. Was it over?
Shin, however, wasn't so optimistic. He knew that an attack of this level was still not enough to finish Aizen. Besides, he had no intention of ending things just yet.
If he had truly wanted to defeat Aizen, with his abilities, Aizen would have been dealt with long ago. The only reason Aizen was still standing was that Shin wanted to see his limits. freёweɓnovel.com
He didn't know if Aizen had been pushed to his absolute limit yet. He just hoped Aizen wouldn't truly break. If his spirit shattered, not even the Hōgyoku could save him.
