Tear Open the Negación, Get Down Here

Their equipment possesses extremely strong sealing abilities. If they seize the right moment and use it on both combatants simultaneously, one of them will inevitably become Aizen.

A cold wind swept across the Sōkyoku Hills.

The next moment, Tokoyo Misao and Aizen simultaneously raised their hands, opened them, and parted their lips slightly:

"Hadō #90, Black Coffin"

Two black walls of Reishi rose simultaneously and collided with each other.

Originally, the Black Coffin was supposed to trap the enemy in the center, but because the two people released it at the same time, it caused interference. At this time, the Black Coffin kept piling up between the two people, getting higher and higher, until it reached a hundred meters, and then it exploded with a bang.

A violent gale and deafening roar erupted, and the entire Seireitei seemed to tremble.

Then the overlapping voice rang out again. "Hadō #91, Senju Kōten Taihō."

Red cannon fire emerged from around the two, whistling as it hurtled towards each other, colliding and exploding continuously with deafening roars. Waves of air surged towards Seireitei like tsunamis.

Two high-level Hadō resulted in a draw.

Aizen withdrew his hand at that moment, smiling as he said, "Brother Misao, time's up. That's enough for today."

Crack! Crack! The sound of glass shattering echoed in the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a pitch-black crack suddenly appeared, abruptly opening and transforming into a terrifying, dark passage.

A beam of yellow light shone out from the dark passage and enveloped Aizen.

Another beam fell, enveloping Kaname Tōsen, while the last beam shone on Gin Ichimaru.

Jūshirō Ukitake, who was still waiting for an opportunity to use the sealing equipment, said in disbelief:

"Negación? Aizen, have you really stooped so low as to associate with Hollows?"

Aizen rose slowly toward the Garganta in the sky, illuminated by the Negación.

He looked down at the crowd below, finally fixing his gaze on Jūshirō Ukitake:

"Ukitake, you are far too arrogant."

"From the very beginning, no one could stand in heaven—not you, not me, not even God."

"But this unbearable vacancy on the throne of heaven should also come to an end."

He reached out his left hand to take off his glasses and used his right hand to comb the hair back from his forehead.

"From this day forward, I will stand above the heavens."

Chapter 162 Tear off the Negación, come down!

"Silver!!"

Rangiku Matsumoto, who rushed to the Sōkyoku Hill, roared at Gin Ichimaru, who was slowly rising into the air within the Negación.

The voice was incredibly hoarse and extremely penetrating, echoing continuously throughout Soul Society.

Rangiku Matsumoto looked up, only to see Gin Ichimaru still squinting, refusing to open his eyes, and slowly lowered the corner of his smiling mouth.

His lips opened and closed, but no sound could pass through the Negación, or perhaps Gin Ichimaru simply didn't want to penetrate it.

"I'm sorry, Rangiku." This soft murmur could only be heard by Gin Ichimaru himself.

But Rangiku Matsumoto, who had been staring intently at him, also understood the meaning of those words from the trembling opening and closing of her lips.

Rangiku Matsumoto suddenly turned to the side and knelt down with a thud, looking at Tokoyo Misao with pleading eyes. "Captain! Help me!"

Her voice trembled violently, and tears streamed down her face like a gushing spring, dripping onto the cold rocks of Sōkyoku Hill.

Standing to the side, Captain-Commander Yamamoto said in a deep voice, "It's no use. That light is called Negación, a technique used by Menos Grande to save their comrades."

Once enveloped by that light, the interior and exterior of the light will be completely isolated from each other, making it absolutely impossible for them to interfere with each other.

"All the captains who have fought against the Menos Grande should know that from the moment that light appeared, no one could touch them anymore."

"Captain! Help me, Captain! Please! Don't let Gin leave Soul Society." Rangiku Matsumoto continued to plead with her captain, seemingly oblivious to the Captain-Commander's words.

She wasn't unable to understand what was being said, nor was she unaware of why so many team leaders were standing still.

She knew, however, that if she let Gin Ichimaru Aizen to Hueco Mundo with Aizen now, Aizen would ultimately not have a good outcome.

Even if Soul Society ultimately defeats Hueco Mundo, Gin Ichimaru will most likely still meet his end.

If we want him to continue living, we must keep him alive.

So her first reaction was to ask her captain Tokoyo Misao, for help.

She didn't know if Tokoyo Misao had the ability to interfere with the Negación, but this was her last hope.

"Matsumoto..." After unwrapping his Bankai, Tōshirō Hitsugaya first glanced at Momo Hinamori, who was receiving treatment.

He fully understood Rangiku Matsumoto's feelings and wanted to offer words of comfort, but couldn't find the words to say.

"Getsuga Tenshō!" The crescent-shaped blade of light struck the Negación where Aizen was located, but it didn't even produce any ripples, as if it were directly annihilated.

Ichigo Kurosaki muttered in disbelief, "How is this possible?"

The Getsuga Tenshō he just released was the last of his power, and it was definitely the peak he could unleash at the moment.

However, there was no reaction when it collided with that light membrane.

Even an egg hitting steel will make a cracking sound.

It was only now that Ichigo Kurosaki understood what it meant to have something that was absolutely impossible to interfere with.

He turned his head away with some reluctance; how could he bear to look at Rangiku Matsumoto's tear-streaked face?

"Waaaaah..." Rangiku Matsumoto collapsed, her body limp, and covered her face with her hands as she wept.

Suddenly, a hand landed on her head and gently patted it.

Rangiku Matsumoto looked up and saw her captain's gentle smile; her previously Despair heart leaped into her throat.

She opened her mouth, her red lips trembling as if she wanted to say something.

"Speaking of which, this is the first time you've ever asked me for a favor like this. As the captain, how could I let you down? Remember to help Tōshirō with the team's affairs." Tokoyo Misao casually ruffled Rangiku Matsumoto's blond hair.

He strode towards the pillar of light that Gin Ichimaru was standing in.

"Tokoyo Misao, didn't you hear what Captain-Commander Yamamoto said? Even if you didn't, you saw Ichigo Kurosaki's attack just now, right? There was simply no way to interfere with it."

Second Division Captain Soi Fon roared loudly.

She had been searching the area for Yoruichi, but couldn't find her anywhere.

When I returned to Sōkyoku Hill, the battle situation had changed to this.

For some reason, seeing Tokoyo Misao make a move, she felt a nameless anger rise in her heart.

Shunsui Kyōraku also said in a deep voice, "Captain Tokoyo, some things cannot be forced."

He glanced at Rangiku Matsumoto's face, which was gradually ceasing its weeping, and sighed inwardly.

If we just let Gin Ichimaru and the others leave like that, Lieutenant Matsumoto might be sad for a while, but he'll definitely recover.

But now, Tokoyo Misao has given the other side hope. If that hope cannot be realized, this blow could very well crush Lieutenant Matsumoto.

This is not a good choice.

Captain-Commander Yamamoto remained silent, his eyes fixed on Tokoyo Misao.

Tokoyo Misao walked to the Negación beam of light from Gin Ichimaru and looked up.

Aizen was the first to be enveloped by the beam of light, was now close to the cave entrance.

Kaname Tōsen, the second one, is estimated to arrive in Hueco Mundo in about ten seconds.

As for Gin Ichimaru, he'll probably be guided into Hueco Mundo in about thirty seconds.

Tokoyo Misao looked at Gin Ichimaru, grinned, and said, "Generally speaking, I respect other people's choices, as long as it doesn't concern me."

Unfortunately, this matter now involves my vice-captain.

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground beneath his feet suddenly collapsed, forming a deep, well-preserved cave that pierced through the hundreds-of-meters-high cliff of Sōkyoku Hill.

In the blink of an eye, Tokoyo Misao arrived in front of Gin Ichimaru.

He raised his blood-red arm, curled his fingers into a claw, and swung it down fiercely at the Negación.

"Come down." The red claws easily sliced through the Negación.

There was no roaring sound, nor any explosion.

The Negación was like a thin film, easily torn apart by those red claws.

Gin Ichimaru's eyes were revealed, his deep blue pupils trembling.

His right hand, which had been hidden in his wide sleeve, gripped the Zanpakuto tightly.

Need it? It's here!

If this is exposed, it will be even more impossible to kill Aizen!

But if Tokoyo Misao catches him and takes him back, how can we talk about retrieving Rangiku's things?

Damn it! What should I do?

Why is this guy able to...?

Gin Ichimaru's deep blue pupils were suddenly filled with red.

Tokoyo Misao reached in with his red right arm, grabbed Gin Ichimaru by the back of his neck, and yanked him back into Soul Society.

Gin Ichimaru gritted his teeth, his eyes fixed on Tokoyo Misao's heart.

"Don't move, you'll die," Tokoyo Misao softly.

Upon hearing this, Gin Ichimaru loosened his grip on his Zanpakuto, which was hidden in his sleeve, and resignedly closed his eyes again, letting the other man choke him.

Tokoyo Misao raised his head, looked at Aizen had already entered Hueco Mundo, raised his other hand and waved goodbye with a smile.

The latter turned around and stepped into the Hueco Mundo.

The enormous Garganta closed instantly.

"H-How is this possible?" Jūshirō Ukitake in disbelief.

He looked at Tokoyo Misao standing in the sky, and at Gin Ichimaru, whose red right arm was gripping him. He used all his senses to confirm, again and again, that it was indeed these two people.

He turned his head sharply. "Shunsui!" The latter nodded solemnly.

Shunsui Kyōraku indicated to Ukitake that, in his perception, the two people in the sky were not problematic; they were both himself.

His straw hat had vanished, and he was equally astonished.

However, what shocked him the most was not that Tokoyo Misao was actually capable of pulling Gin Ichimaru out of the Negación.

But just now, when Tokoyo Misao ripped through the Negación.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of his teacher Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai.

Clearly, even their own teacher found this matter unbelievable.

"Great, Boss Misao!" Ichigo Kurosaki, leaped up, and cheered loudly.

Tokoyo Misao also dropped Gin Ichimaru with a swirl and casually tossed it in front of Rangiku Matsumoto.

Rangiku Matsumoto, trembling, rushed to Gin Ichimaru reached out her hand, touching his face and feeling the warmth transmitted through her palm.

Her heart finally settled down, and she opened her mouth and burst into loud sobs again.

"I'm sorry, Rangiku, I failed." Gin Ichimaru could only softly apologize to the weeping Rangiku.

The next moment, Rangiku Matsumoto clenched her fists and slammed them into Gin Ichimaru's chest.

Bang! Bang! The force was so great, it was like the beating of drums.

Everyone looked over in silence.

In this heartwarming moment, Soi Fon suddenly shouted again, "Tokoyo Misao, since you have the ability to tear open the Negación, why didn't you leave Aizen behind?"

Tokoyo Misao turned to the side and looked at Soi Fon.

I have a feeling this girl is targeting me; I guess I need to find some time to teach her a lesson.

He replied coldly, "Pull me down, then you can hit me?"

If the Soul Society's current fighting force truly had a way to keep Aizen here, they wouldn't have just stood by and watched him be taken back to Menos Grande by Hueco Mundo.
