Seeing Ichigo Kurosaki at this moment, even Captain-Commander Yamamoto could only express admiration.
"With this Kurosaki Ichigo here, I can relinquish my title as the strongest Shinigami."
Hitsugaya Toshiro also marveled:
"Moreover, it's been less than a year since he became a Shinigami, including all the training he's undergone during this period!"
"Is it possible to advance to such a level?"
"I must give him the title of strongest genius."
Kenpachi Zaraki was so excited he exploded with enthusiasm!
"Perfect! I want to fight Ichigo Kurosaki too! Although I definitely can't beat him, as long as we can fight, I'm willing to die!"
In the Wandenreich, Yhwach was equally shocked at this moment. He stared blankly at Ichigo Kurosaki in the projection, tremendous emotions stirring in his heart.
"Is this the power of my son... my most perfect offspring, born in darkness?"
"How terrifying!"
"I must admit that I may not be his opponent now."
"Even saying 'may not' is somewhat conservative—I definitely am not his opponent!"
"Unless I can quickly recover my Almighty power, I'll have a chance to compete with him!"
Yhwach was still trying to explore the composition of power within Ichigo Kurosaki's body! He wanted to understand what force was driving this so-called Final Getsuga Tensho.
Would there be Quincy power involved? Ichigo Kurosaki has already unleashed the most powerful strength in history. If he doesn't have support from the Quincy King's power—from me—then it's truly embarrassing! How dare I claim Ichigo Kurosaki possesses my bloodline?
Unfortunately, this was merely a video, not the actual scene! So Yhwach had no way to accurately judge where Ichigo Kurosaki's power originated!
He could only analyze what he observed.
I heard from Ichigo Kurosaki that using this technique will cost him all his Shinigami power. Additionally, when he entered this Mugetsu state, that azure blue looked very much like the most common spiritual pressure of Quincy...
Yhwach was immediately inspired!
Although the power within Ichigo Kurosaki's body is indeed very complicated, one thing is certain. The power he's using definitely isn't dominated by a single force! There must be other forces mixed in to some extent!
With this realization, Yhwach looked at the shocked and confused Quincy below and explained slowly.
"If I'm not mistaken, the techniques Kurosaki Ichigo displayed should also be related to Quincy power."
"The soul within his body is still me from a thousand years ago, so the techniques he taught are relatively primitive—still the initial combat form of Quincy."
"It hasn't been upgraded to the stronger Vollständig that we've perfected now!"
"This so-called Mugetsu, even with Shinigami power, also has an imperfect Vollständig at work, correct?"
Yhwach sighed internally.
Ichigo Kurosaki, this mixed-blood, can use this unprecedentedly powerful Mugetsu under the influence of multiple forces, right? Just the three types I know of: Shinigami, Vasto Lorde, and Quincy!
Additionally, due to his concern for pure bloodlines, Yhwach at this moment still felt somewhat disgusted by Ichigo Kurosaki's attack combining multiple forces.
Upon hearing this, the Quincy could only remain stunned.
[As Nodt]: So his ridiculously strong state is actually inseparable from our Quincy power?
[BG9]: You're right—this technique is indeed very similar to a primitive version of Vollständig.
[Pepe Waccabrada]: These two are both cheaters. It would be best if Ichigo Kurosaki killed Aizen, then lost all his strength. We'd have two fewer powerful enemies.
[Quilge Opie]: Of course, this Kurosaki Ichigo is also our compatriot. Although he may lose all his Shinigami powers, he might still retain some Quincy power. I hope he can activate it in the future.
[Mask De Masculine]: When we launch our attack on Soul Society, let him join us in destroying these Shinigami!
With these thoughts, the Quincy continued watching carefully, anticipating the next scene.
In Soul Society, the Shinigami also discussed with some confusion:
[Kusajishi Yachiru]: By the way, why did Ichigo use this Final Getsuga Tensho now? Aizen didn't pose any threat to him from beginning to end. If Kurosaki Ichigo wanted to kill him, he could have done so long ago.
[Kusajishi Yachiru]: I feel Ichigo's behavior now is like Ulquiorra's. Ulquiorra could be defeated using Primera Etapa, but he still activated Segunda Etapa.
[Unohana Retsu]: It seems Kurosaki Ichigo wants to use absolute strength to destroy Aizen's beliefs and ensure he never thinks of competing with Kurosaki Ichigo again.
[Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni]: This is absolutely unbearable for Aizen, who has always been self-righteous!
[Kyoraku Shunsui]: Haha, Ichigo Kurosaki really learned from Ulquiorra or Aizen... He learned well—this is destroying both body and spirit!
In the present world, Urahara Kisuke watched this series of videos with a serious expression. Although he had been working hard to train Kurosaki Ichigo and paying attention to his growth—just like Yhwach and Aizen—even being so intelligent, he still couldn't have anticipated Kurosaki Ichigo's current state!
Urahara Kisuke said to Kurosaki Isshin with emotion:
"Your son seems quite formidable? Is this your family's unique skill?"
Kurosaki Isshin stood very straight.
"Haha, of course! My son inherited my genes—if he isn't strong, who is?"
Urahara Kisuke still analyzed seriously:
"But objectively speaking, your ability is far inferior to his. He inherited your power, but even adding Hollow power, can he really defeat Aizen? His growth rate is too amazing."
Kurosaki Isshin was also somewhat confused.
"Yeah, having said that, it seems my son had already overwhelmed Aizen in his previous state. I feel he doesn't even need our family's unique skills to have a chance at defeating Aizen..."
Urahara Kisuke quickly provided his analysis:
"This is understandable—after all, Aizen's Hogyoku is indeed very powerful. If the pressure Kurosaki Ichigo applies continues increasing, he'll definitely keep evolving! And this evolution may be endless. So for safety's sake, Kurosaki Ichigo had to use this one-time technique to completely obliterate Aizen and end his evolution!"
After hearing this, Kurosaki Isshin was filled with emotion.
"It's really a battle between two cheaters! Come on, my son must defeat Aizen. I really want to see Aizen's face in Hueco Mundo!"
Hmph! Do I still have the nerve to keep using my son, Kurosaki Isshin? I can finally use the Shiba family's unique skills to regain dignity! My son is my son! He's not Aizen's experiment!
Amidst everyone's expectations, in the projection:
[Kurosaki Ichigo slowly raised his hand toward the furious Aizen. Simultaneously, he used black spiritual pressure to condense into a blade!
At this moment, he had entered a state of unity between man and sword. The Zanpakuto was him; he was the Zanpakuto. It wasn't merely that his right hand fused with his Zanpakuto—complete integration!
In sharp contrast to calm Kurosaki Ichigo stood the completely broken, hideous, and manic Hogyoku Aizen.
After Kurosaki Ichigo erupted with such terrifying power, his facial expression seemed more inclined toward sadness.
The final words the bull-headed Zangetsu spoke to Kurosaki Ichigo rang out:
"This is Mugetsu!"
"After using this technique, you will lose all your Shinigami power!"
"Goodbye! Ichigo!"
The bull-headed Zangetsu who always accompanied him in battle and made him stronger, and "White Ichigo" were about to bid Kurosaki Ichigo temporary farewell!
However, to defeat Aizen, Kurosaki Ichigo had no regrets!
Goodbye! Old Man Zangetsu! Tsundere White Ichigo! Goodbye! Aizen!
"Mugetsu!"
With tremendously powerful force, he swung the blade.
But other audience members felt no spiritual pressure. They simply saw this sword cut straight across.
Not only was there no spiritual pressure—there seemed to be no sound.
The audience's minds were completely overwhelmed, as if they too were struck by Mugetsu.
The only thought in their minds was... Kurosaki Ichigo's blade cut through everything in the world, including sound!?
Aizen is definitely dead, right?
At this moment, in Hueco Mundo, the Wandenreich, and Soul Society—complete silence! Deathly silence!
Even the Three Realms Projection seemed unable to withstand this blow, and the screen slowly darkened.
Aizen's terrified, screaming expression had no sound... and as the final image, it gradually froze and disappeared.
Kurosaki Ichigo's sword could be said to have cut through space, severing vision and hearing! Cutting through everything in the world with one blade.
Although there was no obvious explosive shockwave or actual spiritual pressure-level impact like previous explosions, this was like an attack from a higher dimension!
What it brought the audience was more of a spiritual blow! As if everything was severed directly from the fundamental rules!
The audience didn't even know whether it was because the Three Realms Projection couldn't withstand Mugetsu's blow that there was no sound or picture, or if Kurosaki Ichigo's power could truly sever everything! Including sound and image! Even the consciousness of the audience before the screen during this period!
SLASH!
This was a blow that split heaven and earth. Even the invincible Aizen was reduced to fine dust by this strike. It seemed he would never recover!
After a long time, the audience's minds gradually regained clarity. It was as if they had experienced a shocking dream that struck their hearts and couldn't be dispelled.
Only those with greater strength, such as Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, Yhwach, and Aizen, could regain consciousness first.
In Hueco Mundo, Kurosaki Ichigo's Mugetsu seemed to still be working, cutting off all sounds and signs of life.
The Arrancars were all dumbfounded, their minds blank.
How could it be possible that their invincible Lord Aizen... would fail? His previous appearance becoming a Hollow was embarrassing enough, and ultimately he had to be destroyed by Kurosaki Ichigo in that state. Too miserable!
At this moment, Aizen's spiritual pressure quickly swept over and ravaged the entire Las Noches.
BUZZ!
The entire Las Noches' Hollows dared not look at Aizen—they didn't even have strength to breathe. Only a few stronger Hollows could secretly observe Aizen...
Aizen's face was very gloomy at this moment. Although not as embarrassed and ferocious as in the projection, it still wasn't pleasant to behold. This was an image of Aizen they had never seen before.
Was Aizen completely defeated both physically and mentally?
Of course, although Aizen was defeated by the cheating Kurosaki Ichigo, in their hearts, Aizen remained the image of wisdom and courage. The Arrancars still didn't dare resist him.
Naturally, some Arrancars who didn't respect Aizen greatly were also muttering internally.
Grimmjow complained in his heart:
Aizen, you have moments like this too... I must think about how to learn from Ichigo Kurosaki, analyze the details in the projection as much as possible, and find another evolutionary path for myself! By the way, I'm very similar to Aizen... Was it because I let Inoue Orihime treat Kurosaki Ichigo that this future scene was accelerated?
Grimmjow was filled with emotion at this thought.
Baraggan also cursed internally:
I really thought this Hogyoku was so amazing. Even after helping us become Arrancars, there's no way for us to defeat so many powerful Shinigami! Even Aizen himself died so miserably. Hmph, as long as I can regain my peak strength, there's definitely a chance to kill this Aizen.
At this moment, although Aizen said nothing, the Arrancars were all guessing his thoughts.
He's absolutely angry and extremely unwilling.
Ulquiorra was also muttering internally:
Is this human emotion? Lord Aizen can actually be so angry... Indeed!
Aizen's expression seemed to solidify into a stone statue after Mugetsu's swing, unprecedentedly ugly. In the projection, he was broken by Kurosaki Ichigo, roaring hysterically...
Such a scene is truly too ugly! Even if he's made the final awakening, Aizen can't accept all this... Losing reason! Arrogance! No composure! Such ugly displays gathered unprecedentedly in a short time. Is this... his final destination?
When mixed emotions combined, Aizen tried his best to calm down. He wanted to restore himself to the past when he controlled situations and achieved victory—the true king, Aizen Sosuke!
He told himself the most important thing at this moment was reflecting on his mistakes!
Yes! I admit I failed! At least at this moment in the projection! I was indeed defeated miserably! Therefore, I want to transform grief and anger into strength, so I'll know what to do in the future! Even if I failed miserably in the projection, I must analyze as much as possible from it! Otherwise, I might not need to wait for future scenes. Right now, the Hogyoku might lose recognition of me and be extremely disappointed!
During this process, Aizen's mentality also changed unconsciously. Although his strength didn't change, his thoughts slowly sublimated to a higher level!
In the past, although his mentality was also king-like, without experiencing setbacks and falling to the bottom, he was still lacking...
So after this bloody rebirth, he truly became a king in spirit and mentality!
After the scene of Mugetsu passed for a long time, the audience who supported Kurosaki Ichigo finally regained their senses and couldn't help cheering.
[Byakuya Kuchiki]: Excellent! Ichigo Kurosaki definitely killed Aizen—there's no way Aizen can be saved.
[Madarame Ikkaku]: He was so proud before, but now he's finally defeated by Kurosaki Ichigo.
[Hitsugaya Toshiro]: Evolving into that state will definitely fail. Does he still want to gain the Hogyoku's approval?
[Aizen Sosuke]: Don't be so hasty to announce the battle's result. You know the Hogyoku allows the host to evolve continuously. Believe me—under Kurosaki Ichigo's pressure, it will definitely rise to another dimension!
Aizen had barely recovered his rational thinking. His reason for saying this in the chat group was partly Aizen's refusal to admit defeat, and partly the answer after objective analysis.
After all, no one understood the Hogyoku better than him! He wouldn't give up easily until the final moment!
