Not only Urahara, but also Ōetsu Nimaiya and Kirio Hikifune emerged from the darkness, their sharp gazes fixed on the seven uninvited guests.
Ōetsu Nimaiya's appearance is still distinctive, but the difference is that in addition to the two Zanpakuto at his waist, he also carries a large hammer on his shoulder.
Aizen glanced at the three of them and smiled, "I didn't expect that after you became a member of the Zero Division, you would transform the Soul King Palace into this state. It's quite different from the information I received."
Urahara glanced at Aizen Amagai, and said leisurely, "After all, it's been decades. If he doesn't achieve something, he'll be fired."
Aizen asked, "Was this space created specifically to welcome me?"
Urahara said earnestly, "Of course, this is the 'Infinite Sin Domain' created by combining the various abilities of our Zero Division, specially made to welcome great evils like you."
"So stepping into this area makes one a sinner? Interesting." Aizen seemed to understand something and said with a smile.
After replying, Urahara stared intently at Aizen and asked, "Aizen, are you really determined to attack us? Nangong Ling lost; do you really think your newly created Hōgyoku will be stronger than his?"
Aizen smiled faintly, "Are you trying to say that Yhwach is our common enemy?"
Seeing Urahara remain silent, Aizen continued, "That's right. If that kind of guy has the last laugh, Soul Society might cease to exist, and we might all be wiped out."
"But..." Aizen changed the subject, speaking seriously, "In the end, I will be the one who succeeds. Even if I defeat Shigekuni Yamamoto, in my opinion, he still has absolutely no hope."
Seeing Aizen's certainty, Urahara asked with a serious expression, "Why?"
Aizen his head slightly to look at Ryūsaki, then replied, "Because some of my subordinates are Quincy."
Indeed, Aizen's confidence stemmed from Ryūsaki, or more precisely, from the various pieces of information Ryūsaki had previously relayed.
Yhwach is a monster who needs to continuously absorb the power of the souls of the dead to grow stronger.
If interrupted, his power will not only decline, but may also render him unable to speak or see.
Furthermore, Aizen already knew about Yhwach's 'The Almighty'. Although Ryūsaki didn't reveal the method to counter it, Aizen didn't care, as the Hōgyoku itself was the method to counter it...
Urahara glanced at Ryūsaki, about to say something, when Ōetsu Nimaiya started clapping loudly.
He grinned and said, "Kisuke, it's useless for you to say anything to these wicked villains who dare to step into the Soul King Palace. We don't have much time."
Urahara sighed again, saying helplessly, "Alright, let's begin!"
Urahara admired Aizen; after all, to be able to conceive of something as inconceivable as the 'Hōgyoku', just like him, was itself quite remarkable.
Furthermore, Aizen was also a member of Soul Society, so he must have seen the threat Yhwach posed to Soul Society. However, there was nothing he could do; their paths were different, leaving them no choice but to fight each other...
As the sigh subsided, Urahara lightly touched a button on his wrist.
The next instant, the entire 'Infinite Sin Domain' seemed to come alive, and streaks of darkness separated the seven people...
Clang!
Ginjo drew his 'Cross Gallows' and slashed at the spreading black starry sky wall, but instead produced a crisp, metallic clang.
He couldn't help but shout, "Hey, hey, hey, what is that?!"
At this moment, he, Ryūsaki, Szayelaporro were in a separated space, where Urahara was also present.
After a long silence, Szayelaporro adjusted his glasses and chuckled, "It seems to be a space that separated from the previous one, and possesses the ability to endlessly absorb dissipated Reiatsu."
"In other words, even if the manipulator is defeated, those trapped in this space cannot escape. They will only die from the absorption of Reiatsu when they touch the spatial walls or attack. This spatial technology is truly remarkable."
Hearing Szayelaporro's rapid analysis, Urahara slightly surprised; this man seemed quite intelligent as well.
Urahara exclaimed, "I didn't expect you to find out so quickly. You're truly an amazing Arrancar!"
Szayelaporro smiled and said, "After all, I'm the only Arrancar who was brought up here. If I didn't have some ability, why would Lord Aizen have brought me along?"
Urahara didn't explain much, but the abilities of this space were indeed a combination of the individual abilities of the four of them.
The ability to absorb Reiatsu comes from Kirio Hikifune's 'Cradle', while the spatial cutting ability is a replica of a Zanpakuto forged by Ōetsu Nimaiya.
As for this vast expanse of black starry sky, it was painted by Monk, and it truly possesses a certain characteristic of infinite extension.
Like the 'Muken', there is clearly a door, but once you enter, there is only endless vastness.
In the other space, Tōsen was alone with Kirio Hikifune, while Yushima and Amagai were in the same space as Ōetsu Nimaiya.
The space around Aizen was also divided, but he stood there quietly, without making any movement... After a short while, an Aizen appeared in front of Monk...
Aizen and said, "Ichibē Hyōsube!"
The Monk was furious. "Don't address me so affectionately, you rat in the cracks!"
Aizen's smile faded, and he said coldly, "Even the Guards of the Devourer of the Master are so arrogant? How ridiculous."
The Monk instantly recalled what had happened long ago. His face froze, and as he came to his senses, a white knife suddenly attacked from behind.
Ding~
The wooden brush and the Zanpakuto intertwined, producing a metallic clang. Centered on the two, the air and Reishi suddenly vanished, pushed outwards by an invisible shockwave.
Clang~ Clang~ Clang~ Swish!
Aizen swung his sword several more times, the force of which was too much for the Monk to handle. Fortunately, just as the Monk was knocked back, his brush brush grazed Aizen's hand holding the sword.
Noticing the strength in his arm rapidly diminishing, Aizen frowned slightly. "Is this the power of that brush? It causes the part of the opponent touched by the brush tip to lose half its strength."
As he spoke, Aizen's right hand, which had been holding the sword, went limp and fell to its side, as if the bones had disappeared.
The Monk chuckled, "I thought you knew about the power of the 'Ichimonji,' but it turns out you didn't..."
"That's right. The 'Ichimonji' can remove half the name of the thing it cuts. For example, your 'arm' holding the sword is now just a 'hand,' so its power is naturally halved."
After listening to the Monk's explanation, Aizen instantly understood. "Severing a name weakens the opponent's power? It's a powerful ability, but not enough."
The next moment, Aizen slowly raised his right hand, which had been hanging down, and pointed his sword at the Monk.
The Monk narrowed his eyes, staring at the 'Hōgyoku' on Aizen's chest, and slowly said, "What a troublesome thing."
As expected, the only way to deal with the hosts of the Hōgyoku is to follow Kisuke's instructions; there's no way to kill them...
Aizen sneered, "You've fought Nangong Ling, and with Kisuke Urahara by your side, you should know the power of the 'Hōgyoku'! If I want to, power is no problem at all."
The words had barely left his lips when Aizen in again, slashing at the Monk's raised brush. Confirming the presence of the blade in the monk's eyes at close range, he whispered, "--Shatter! Kyōka Suigetsu!"
The Monk did not close his eyes, because he only needed to confirm that Aizen was in the same space as him, so he did not need to be wary of his sword.
Seireitei.
Having lost their opponent, Ulquiorra and his two companions gathered together. They got up and went to Yhwach's Magic Circle, causing another commotion among the Schutzstaffel.
Lille and his companions felt ashamed for failing to defeat their opponent in a short time, believing they had let Yhwach down.
"Trying to inject Reishi and storm the Soul King Palace? Don't even think about it... Hmm?"
Nel was about to throw her lance when Ulquiorra suddenly reached out and stopped her.
Ulquiorra shook his head. "We just received an order that we don't need to stop them anymore. Let's go."
With that, he turned and left, Tier Harribel followed him, while Nel hesitated for a moment, then sheathed her Resurrección and turned to leave as well...
Yhwach, who had originally planned to take matters into his own hands and finish the job quickly, raised an eyebrow at the sight. "Was it Ryūsaki Ishida who gave them the orders? But how did he manage to get all these incredibly powerful Arrancar to obey him so obediently?"
Jugram Haschwalth, standing to the side, said, "It shouldn't be Ryūsaki Ishida. No matter how powerful he is, he couldn't possibly subdue these arrogant guys."
"Hueco Mundo is a world where strength reigns supreme; only the strong gain status. It's highly likely that the force that just invaded Soul Society has already secretly taken control of them."
Yhwach nodded. He wasn't surprised that Aizen, who had been plotting for so long, could do something like this.
Just then, several figures rushed towards them from the army that had stormed into Seireitei from Rukongai.
The Arrancars and monsters, all dressed in white robes, swarmed forward and slaughtered everyone they encountered, whether Quincy or Soul Reaper.
After Ulquiorra left with the two women, he flew towards Grimmjow was still Stillness in place.
Tier Harribel couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you stop them?"
Ulquiorra glanced at the words on his left wristband. "Ryūsaki said we need to pinpoint his location and prepare to open the Garganta."
"Have we reached the final step?" Tier Harribel murmured, her eyes filled with determination.
