At this time, Urahara Kisuke, Shihouin Yoruichi, and Shiba Isshin jointly launched a fatal attack on Aizen!
[They seemed to have rehearsed this combination for a considerable time, achieving such perfect coordination at this moment.
To deal with Aizen, they were indeed thoroughly prepared.
It seemed even Aizen couldn't ignore such an assault!
However, as smoke continued spreading, Urahara Kisuke suddenly realized something was amiss and quickly shouted to Yoruichi:
"Get out of the way quickly!"
In the smoke, Aizen's figure appeared again.
BANG!
He directly knocked Shihouin Yoruichi far away!
Afterward, everyone could see very clearly that countless cracks appeared across Aizen's body wrapped in white substance.
It seemed Shihouin Yoruichi's attack had also produced tremendous effect. At least it could break Aizen's defense!
Aizen didn't care about it at all, fighting increasingly recklessly, wanting to take the initiative to see what tricks they could devise.
With the Hogyoku, his mentality continued expanding! He genuinely wanted to engage in battle with his opponents, hoping they could employ attacks he couldn't endure!
On one hand, he wanted to constantly challenge his limits and evolve continuously! On the other hand, it was because Aizen truly didn't take Urahara Kisuke, Shihouin Yoruichi, and Shiba Isshin seriously.
He had transcended the Shinigami realm and believed Urahara Kisuke and the others couldn't pose significant threats to him.
Aizen even began issuing commands:
"The strategy you devised to defeat me proves your effort and strength."
"What I should do is completely destroy it all!"
"So, hurry up and use your final technique!"
Seeing that Aizen wanted them to attack him so desperately, Urahara Kisuke breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed Aizen's carelessness might be an important reason for his failure. But he appeared genuinely helpless at the moment.
After all, even if Aizen stood there and let them strike him, they couldn't inflict damage...
Urahara Kisuke also sighed to Shihouin Yoruichi:
"Hey, I made special armor for you to deal with Hierro, but it was still destroyed so easily by Aizen."
Shihouin Yoruichi even had time to quarrel with Urahara Kisuke!
"Hey, this is obviously your fault. Because you didn't craft this armor carefully, I can't defeat this enemy."
Aizen also spoke calmly:
"After taking my strike, your legs are fine. It seems what Urahara Kisuke invented is indeed very special!"
"However, all that is meaningless."
"If one strike isn't enough to kill, then three strikes will suffice..."
"All of them will disappear before me."
Aizen attacked them again.
After fighting briefly, Shihouin Yoruichi continued complaining about Urahara Kisuke:
"Hmph, if the equipment you gave me weren't so useless, we wouldn't be in this situation!"
Urahara Kisuke smiled bitterly:
"Oops! I'm terribly sorry! Miss Yoruichi..."
At this moment, Aizen remained very calm, watching Urahara Kisuke and Shihouin Yoruichi conversing, seemingly having no intention of fighting.
This battle process left audiences speechless...
Urahara Kisuke even proactively asked:
"What are you observing?"
Aizen's face was covered in white substance with no visible expression. He simply spoke in a leisurely tone:
"I'm watching you!"
"As I observed you, I wondered whether your seemingly helpless behavior was also part of your plan?"
"Is this intentional acting?"
"On the surface, you appear very unreliable, but perhaps you're still brewing schemes secretly!"
He truly couldn't see through Urahara Kisuke!
Urahara Kisuke continued displaying his eloquence:
"Are you warning me?"
Aizen shook his head, speaking with deep emotion:
"I'm not warning you—I'm simply observing you."
"You are the only person in Soul Society whose intelligence exceeds mine!"
"Although you're far inferior to me, I still admire you tremendously."
At this moment, Aizen genuinely admired Urahara Kisuke's intelligence. He spoke almost fondly...
After all, Urahara Kisuke was among the few people who could converse with him as an equal.]
In the chat group:
[Kurotsuchi Mayuri]: Damn it, you only want to praise him! Don't you want to see my strength? I don't think I'm much worse than Urahara Kisuke. He hasn't been captain for long, has he?
[Sui-Feng]: Hmph, it seems Urahara Kisuke does have some merits. At least you can be praised by Aizen.
[Urahara Kisuke]: Hey, hey, what are you saying? Isn't it natural for me to be praised by Aizen? Without me, Soul Society might have been destroyed long ago. I don't even know how many times my inventions have saved Ichigo Kurosaki and Soul Society, defeating countless enemies.
[Kenpachi Zaraki]: Hehe, is this what they call kindred spirits recognizing each other? I understand!
[Ulquiorra]: However, facing such absolute power disparity, no matter how excellent the plan, it will prove useless.
[Gerard Valkyrie]: Urahara Kisuke is someone we could easily defeat with one move, right? He doesn't need serious consideration.
[Lille Barro]: This Aizen is truly annoying. He possesses absolute power yet plays around here. He doesn't want to end the battle quickly—it's like playing with children.
[Pernida Parnkgjas]: I suspect Aizen never imagined Ichigo Kurosaki would teach him such a harsh lesson! Hahahaha
[While everyone complained, Aizen continued conversing slowly with Urahara Kisuke.
Urahara Kisuke was very modest regarding Aizen's praise:
"You really flatter me. Now I'm just an ordinary shop owner!"
"Hadō Number 33! Sōkatsui!"
He began attacking Aizen again!
BOOM BOOM!
Aizen still didn't move, not caring about such attacks at all. He was somewhat confused about Urahara Kisuke's intentions!
"You should understand perfectly that this level of Kidō has absolutely no effect on me, correct? If you're using it deliberately, there must be some unknown purpose?!"
Sure enough, at this time, Shihouin Yoruichi quickly seized the opportunity and attacked from the side.
Although they needed few words, they could cooperate with perfect understanding.
Shihouin Yoruichi also opened her strongest form without reservation.
BUZZ!
Instantly! Shihouin Yoruichi's figure shot out like a black cat! She punched Aizen directly!
BANG!
She genuinely caused considerable damage to Aizen—even his white substance was damaged!
Shihouin Yoruichi achieved the best surface-level results. At least Aizen's shell wasn't so solid before her attacks.
But Aizen still didn't take her assault seriously at all:
"You should understand perfectly that such attacks... still won't have much effect on me, correct?"
No matter how Shihouin Yoruichi attacked, Aizen handled it effortlessly.
At this moment, Shihouin Yoruichi also created an excellent opening for Urahara Kisuke.
Urahara Kisuke activated his Zanpakutō and employed Benihime's alternative state:
"Sing, Benihime!"
Benihime's blade suddenly released a spiritual pressure net, quickly binding Aizen.
Then...
"Hadō 54: Haien!"
Benihime bound Aizen tightly as a series of small red orbs exploded.
The explosions quickly spread around Aizen!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Unfortunately, after the flames subsided, Aizen's voice still came faintly:
"How truly ridiculous—is this your only attack power? There's no way to cause significant damage to me."
Aizen was very disappointed with their joint assault.
But at this moment, a truly decisive attack appeared! This was the technique that had damaged both Kurosaki Ichigo and Aizen multiple times.
Shiba Isshin had been accumulating power for a considerable time, finally finding an opportunity to use the fire-attributed Getsuga Tenshō!
BOOM!
Flames shot skyward, the shockwave so fierce it instantly engulfed Aizen!
The raging sea of fire seemed to completely devour, melt, and incinerate Aizen to ashes!
This devastating attack made audiences gasp. It seemed this Getsuga Tenshō had caused tremendously massive damage to Aizen!
The Getsuga Tenshō, inherited from Shiba Isshin to Kurosaki Ichigo, was indeed extraordinarily effective! It had inflicted fatal attacks on Aizen multiple times!]
The dramatic revelation that the Getsuga Tenshō was a family technique passed down from Shiba Isshin to Ichigo—and that it was one of the few attacks capable of actually damaging the evolved Aizen—provided both a connection to Ichigo's heritage and hope that perhaps his version might prove even more effective.
