The Final Battle
Gin reached for Aizen's chest, but Aizen ruthlessly tore his arm off, then plunged his sword into Gin's chest before pulling it out. Gin had lost; he collapsed to the ground, powerless.
"Gin!" A scream echoed between heaven and earth. She had been fighting Aizen in a secluded place, and the other Shinigami had only been watching from afar. But the moment she saw Gin being pierced, she could no longer restrain herself. Ignoring everyone's attempts to stop her, she went to Gin's side alone.
Rangiku leaned over Gin, cradling him in her arms, tears streaming down her face. Gin barely opened his eyes and whispered to Rangiku, "I still couldn't do it. In the end, I couldn't take back what you lost, Rangiku. I'm so glad I could apologize to you sooner. Farewell, Rangiku."
"Gin! Ahhh!" Rangiku cried weakly, but Gin didn't even have the strength to open his eyes. At that moment, Ye Yang and Urahara Yoruichi. Gin could only silently say in his heart, "Teacher Ye Yang, I'm leaving the rest to you."
Ye Yang's expression turned solemn. Without further hesitation, he Zanpakuto flat and chanted, "Bankai! Spatial Domain!" A flash of silver light appeared, and Ye Yang pulled everyone present into his domain, including Rangiku and Gin. Finally, Soi Fon was also pulled in, because Ye Yang wanted her to be able to see this final battle.
Aizen remained completely calm, simply saying, "So you've finally used your Bankai? I was wondering how long you could hide. Now, can you reveal the power of your Bankai?"
"Telling you won't hurt. Within this space, I have absolute control. No matter where you are, I will know everything. In other words, your 'Kyōka Suigetsu' has no effect on me here!" Ye Yang said softly.
"Hmph, I have now surpassed the limits of both Shinigami and Hollows. Even without Kyōka Suigetsu, we are not on the same level. I am now absolutely superior to you!" Aizen was completely unconcerned. He knew his own power better than anyone. He was many times stronger than when he fought Ye Yang earlier. No amount of trickery could withstand his power.
"Rangiku, take Gin to a safe corner. Kisuke, Sis, you two shouldn't get involved in this battle anymore. I'll settle this battle myself," Ye Yang said firmly. Rangiku quickly followed Ye Yang's instructions and left. Soi Fon, Urahara, and Yoruichi also knew Ye Yang well, so they also stayed away and quietly watched from a distance.
Ye Yang looked at Soi Fon with a smile and said, "Shaoling, you should go keep an eye on Yoruichi too."
"But I want to fight alongside Brother Ye Yang," Soi Fon whispered.
Ye Yang patted her hair. "Shaoling, go find Yoruichi. You can't help here. What? Don't you have faith in me?"
Seeing Ye Yang's insistence, Soi Fon didn't say anything more, because she really couldn't get involved in a battle of this level right now, so she had no choice but to obediently walk to Yoruichi's side.
"Ye Yang Shihoin, Shihouin, stop struggling. This is a battle with no suspense," Aizen, full of confidence.
"That's not necessarily true," Ye Yang said, releasing the Spiritual Power that had been hidden in his dantian. The silver Spiritual Pressure soared into the sky, no less than Aizen's, and perhaps even stronger!
Aizen stared at Ye Yang in astonishment, then slowly calmed down. "So that's how it is. You've evolved to the same dimension as me? I don't know what method you used to evolve, but you can't defeat me with the Hōgyoku! I'll be thinking of evolving to an even higher dimension. Come on, Ye Yang Shihoin!"
"Come on, let's fight to the last time," Ye Yang said softly. As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Yang appeared behind Aizen in his hand. He slashed at Aizen's back, but Aizen reacted quickly, blocking Ye Yang's attack with his backhand. Then, Aizen forced Ye Yang back with a sword strike.
"What is this?" Aizen asked. "Even if you're fast, and we're in the same dimension, there's no way I couldn't see your movements. How did you get behind me just now?"
"Didn't I already say that I have absolute control over this space? Moving from one space to another is just a small application of spatial abilities; I call it Spatial Jump."
"Spatial Jump? A nice name, but it only throws your movements off-target. You can't defeat me with that alone. So, do you have any new tricks?"
Ye Yang smiled, "Would I choose to fight you one-on-one with this little bit of stuff? Spatial Rifts!" Spatial Rifts appeared around Aizen, pitch black as ink! Anyone who touched them would be reduced to ashes!
"So he can already distort space? No wonder he's always been my greatest rival." Aizen showed no fear even in the face of the terrifying Spatial Rift.
As they spoke, Spatial Rifts had already filled the area around Aizen, but Aizen suddenly vanished from his spot. Ye Yang waved his hand, creating a rift behind him, forcing Aizen to abandon his attack.
"Spatial Rift, indeed powerful, but it has a fatal weakness, which is that it is too slow. I will not be hit by this move. Moreover, Spatial Rift does not distinguish between friend and foe. Even you would not dare to easily test its edge." Aizen saw through it at a glance. Although the formation speed of Spatial Rift is not slow, it is definitely not too fast, so it is difficult to hit Aizen with his speed.
That's not necessarily true.
While controlling the Spatial Rift, Ye Yang directly rushed forward and engaged Aizen in battle. Ye Yang Isshin, pressing Aizen relentlessly. At this point, it could be said that Ye Yang was completely suppressing Aizen!
Moreover, Ye Yang seemed completely unconcerned that the Spatial Rift would sweep over him. Could something he controlled possibly hurt him? The Spatial Rift he controlled was like his own arm, which he could wield with complete freedom.
"How is this possible!" Aizen was not only shocked by Ye Yang's reckless attacks, but more importantly by Ye Yang's 360-degree attacks without any blind spots. The ink-splashing offensive forced Aizen to defend. Aizen had never imagined that he would be forced to this point after evolving to this level. Could it be that Ye Yang's evolution was even more successful than his?
Even when Aizen was cornered, Ye Yang suddenly appeared behind him and with a wave of his hand, cut Aizen in half at the waist!
Ye Yang did not relax. He stretched out his right hand, and a pitch-black Spatial Rift appeared next to Aizen. In the blink of an eye, the two pieces of Aizen were swallowed up.
Urahara asked softly, "Is it over?"
"No, I have a feeling he'll come out again." Ye Yang shook his head. Sure enough, as if to confirm Ye Yang's words, a space began to distort, Aizen burst out.
Aizen has now gone completely mad, and his appearance has undergone a drastic change. Each of his original wings now has a head-like structure, the cross on his chest is gone, and there is a Hollow Hole in the middle with only the Hōgyoku glowing blue. Moreover, Aizen's face has split in the middle, his original face has been pushed to the sides, and in the middle is a black face, with nothing clearly visible except for the facial features.
With a ferocious expression, he said, "Hōgyoku, you still can't forgive me? How could I have lost so miserably?" As he spoke, an energy ball condensed in the mouth of one of his heads and was flung towards Ye Yang.
Ye Yang did not choose to take the hit head-on, but quickly dodged. The area hit by the blast was ablaze with fire, and the towering pillar of fire brought with it gusts of wind.
"Ye Yang Shihoin, I have to admit that your evolution is successful, but even so, you can't defeat me in my perfect evolution. Do you know the true power of the Hōgyoku? I can only say that Kisuke Urahara, who created the Hōgyoku himself, doesn't fully understand it." Aizen's face was contorted with rage.
Aizen continued, "The reason Kisuke Urahara believed the Hōgyoku could break the limits between Shinigami and Hollows was because he wanted the Hōgyoku to break those limits, which is why it possesses this ability. However, the Hōgyoku's Hōgyoku power is to make a person's inner desires manifest according to their wishes—the so-called 'wish fulfillment'! But the prerequisite is that you must have the potential, or ability, to realize that wish. In other words, you can't directly wish to become a god! There must be a process involved."
Everyone present was shocked by these words; this ability was simply invincible! To be able to achieve anything one desired—with such power, who could possibly kill Aizen?
Urahara, however, seemed unsurprised, perhaps because he had already guessed it. He simply adjusted his hat without saying a word.
"Ye Yang Shihoin, you have indeed broken the limits of both Shinigami and Hollows, becoming a transcendent. However, your evolution has come to an end. But I will continue to evolve infinitely. I am now stronger than you are now. Let me, the perfect transcendent, end your life. That way, you will have no regrets. After I eliminate you, I can completely rid myself of these two inferior species, Shinigami and Hollows. I will become the one and only god!"
Upon hearing Aizen's words, Ye Yang could only smile. The power of the Hōgyoku was indeed beyond his expectations. In this way, it would be almost impossible to kill Aizen. No wonder Urahara had been researching how to seal Aizen instead of killing him.
At this point, Ye Yang also gave up the idea of killing Aizen. Since things had come to this, Ye Yang had no choice but to use his last trump card, which was the complete release of Silver Rend, which possessed the power of time!
Ye Yang quietly looked at him, a sword appearing in his hand—this was also the true form of Silver Rend. Ye Yang pointed at Aizen and said, "Aizen, I didn't want to use this power, but now it seems I have no choice. My Zanpakuto isn't fully unleashed; Silver Rend is only half of its name. Space and time appear, breaking free from its constraints— Galaxy Rift!" (...)
