"Aizen... Captain?" Kuchiki Rukia looked stunned, her face showing surprise.
She never expected that these two captains, who were fighting each other so intensely, would ultimately target her.
"Don't worry, it will be over soon." Aizen said soothingly with a smile, as he twisted open a small capsule-like object in his left hand. Suddenly, sharp spikes appeared on the ground all around.
At the same time, Aizen's palm turned dark green and easily pierced through Kuchiki Rukia's body.
This feeling was very strange.
Even though she saw his palm pierce her body, Kuchiki Rukia didn't feel any pain. She just felt a sense of urgency, like her heart was about to jump out.
What's happening?
Just as the question flashed through Rukia's mind, she saw Aizen's hand pull out a purple-black round bead from her body.
"It's really here." Aizen said gently, his voice sounding like a warm spring breeze. "It's called the Hogyoku, it's Urahara's..."
Boom.
Before he could finish speaking, a tall, powerful figure suddenly descended from the sky.
"Found it!"
Hair like a hedgehog stood straight up, a black eye patch covered his face, and he held a blade full of jagged notches. The newcomer was Kenpachi Zaraki.
The corners of his mouth curved up, revealing a bloodthirsty and cruel smile as he said, "Aizen, you traitor of Soul Society, come and fight me!" Without waiting for a response, he swung his blade directly at Aizen.
Even though Kuchiki Rukia was still in Aizen's grasp, Kenpachi Zaraki didn't care at all. Once someone entered his fighting range, their death was their own fault.
Clang.
Unexpectedly, Kenpachi Zaraki's powerful strike was easily blocked by a single finger of Aizen. Before he could react, a cloud of blood erupted from his waist and abdomen.
"The timing of your attack was good, but your strength is far from enough." Aizen shook off the blood from his blade, his smile not diminishing in the slightest. "This junior of yours doesn't seem qualified enough." He turned his gaze to Unohana Retsu's location.
Whoosh.
Ignoring him, Unohana Retsu suddenly appeared in front of him. She flicked her curved sword upwards, the cold light of the blade shimmering like flowing water.
Aizen raised his sword to block the attack, but at this moment, a flash of deep blue lightning suddenly appeared behind him.
Bakudo Number Eighty-One: Danku.
A transparent shield of light appeared out of nowhere behind him, and the lightning struck the shield of light, creating a loud "boom." A powerful gale swept through, scattering碎石 everywhere.
Whoosh, whoosh.
Kuchiki Byakuya and Soi Fon appeared, standing on Aizen's left and right sides. Unohana Retsu also took this opportunity to bring Kuchiki Rukia out of Aizen's grasp.
"Aizen! You traitor!" Soi Fon stared at him, saying coldly, "You killed all the members of Central 46, colluded with criminals from the 無間, and secretly conducted hollowfication experiments... You did all of this, didn't you?"
Killed all the members of Central 46?
Aizen paused slightly, turned his gaze to the expressionless Unohana Retsu not far away, and laughed casually, "Really, this is interesting."
Not feeling angry at being falsely accused, but instead finding it interesting. This is Aizen.
Aizen was certain that the one who wiped out Central 46 was either this first generation Kenpachi herself, or that young man he had been watching favorably. And perhaps they did this not just to frame him, but also with an even deeper motive.
This Soul Society seems more interesting than before.
Thinking this, Aizen didn't defend himself. At this moment, defending himself would be meaningless.
"So you're admitting it?" Kuchiki Byakuya looked at him indifferently and said, "You, Ichimaru Gin, and Tosen Kaname caused all this trouble, all for Urahara Kisuke's Hogyoku, right?"
"You seem to have a lot of information." Aizen smiled and said, "May I ask where you got your information?"
"It's Hinamori!" Several more figures flashed over, and Toshiro Hitsugaya, his face full of anger, immediately said, "Your vice-captain discovered the secret you hid in the secret room!"
Hinamori?
The smile on Aizen's face suddenly disappeared, and a hint of surprise finally appeared in his eyes.
Logically speaking, this answer was impossible.
Not to mention that the secret room was hidden by a barrier he had personally set up. Even if the captain-commander came, it would be difficult to find it. Just the fact that Hinamori Momo reported him was something he didn't believe.
Aizen was cautious, that's right, but he was also very confident. Especially in his ability to judge people, he was confident that no one could wear a mask in front of him.
Hinamori Momo's admiration for him was absolutely real, and she was obviously the kind of person who would give her life for someone she admired.
If that was the case, how could she report him? What exactly happened here?
Aizen frowned. He suddenly felt like he was sinking into a quagmire. It was as if there was an invisible hand in the dark, trying to fool and control him.
"Aizen, do you have anything to say now?" Komamura Sajin asked in a deep voice.
"There's really nothing to say." Aizen's mind gradually calmed down, and he curved his lips. "I might as well just attack directly and defeat you all here."
"What did you say?"
"Arrogant!"
"You really dare to say that!"
Komamura Sajin, Hitsugaya Toshiro, and the others were filled with indignation. They all raised the blades in their hands and used shunpo to move forward.
Buzz.
But at this moment, a pure and massive spiritual pressure suddenly erupted from Aizen's body, crushing outwards in all directions like sharp blades.
Pfft, pfft, pfft.
Komamura Sajin and the others were forced back, flying backwards. Their arms, chests, and thighs all seemed to be cut open by thousands of blades, covered in blood.
"Do you see it? This is the power of the Hogyoku." Aizen said calmly, without joy or sorrow, "Just by releasing my spiritual pressure, you can't compete. Next..."
Boom.
A burst of scorching flames interrupted Aizen's speech. The terrifying temperature made the surrounding air thin.
Yamamoto Genryusai, his upper body bare, held Ryujin Jakka and approached Aizen step by step. "I cannot forgive! Your sins, I cannot forgive! Accept the flames of punishment!" His blade swung, and the flames surged.
Aizen was engulfed in raging flames, seemingly burned to ashes in an instant.
Pfft.
But before Yamamoto Genryusai could breathe a sigh of relief, a blade suddenly pierced his body from behind. Aizen, who had appeared behind him without anyone noticing, curved his lips and said gently, "It seems I'm not worthy of your flames punishment."
