Chapter 257

Aizen thoughtfully provided explanations from the side.

There are many space-time Ninjutsu in the Hokage world. There are space-time Ninjutsu that allow you to teleport yourself, space-time Ninjutsu that can take others with you when you run away, space-time Ninjutsu that can transfer attacks, and space-time Ninjutsu.

Ordinary ninjas may face many limitations when using space-time Ninjutsu, but the Sage of Six Paths with the Rinnegan can use all Ninjutsu, except for special Rinnegan Ninjutsu.

So, he just used space-time Ninjutsu to redirect Yhwach's attack.

Despite being betrayed by Aizen in the Underworld, the Sage of Six Paths still possessed a vast repertoire of Ninjutsu when used in direct Ninjutsu.

"Since you believe you can use spatial abilities to redirect my attacks, then..."

Yhwach raised his hand and launched dozens of medium-sized Sacred Holy Arrow, which flew towards the Sage of Six Paths from all directions.

However, this time the Sage of Six Paths did not use his spatial abilities to transfer Yhwach's attack; instead, he transferred himself away.

Seeing the Sage of Six Paths reappear, Yhwach unleashed another Holy Arrow without hesitation, attempting to kill him, but the Sage of Six Paths vanished once more.

The two were playing hide-and-seek, Yhwach's attacks were all dodged by the Sage of Six Paths using spatial techniques.

The price to pay was that the Seireitei, which had already been ravaged by the three powerful figures, was once again plowed up by the Holy Arrow.

"Is running away all you can do?"

Yhwach was annoyed as he watched the Sage of Six Paths disappear from his spot. "No, according to the rules, shouldn't you be fighting me head-on? Why did you run away?"

In this world, there is no shortage of means of rapid movement, but whether it is Bleach, a Hollow, or Quincy, once a battle begins, they will not choose to use rapid movement to avoid attacks, but will directly rush into the frontal battle.

But this illusion in front of me can only dodge!

"No, his goal wasn't to escape."

Aizen spoke up again from a distance to help explain, but to Yhwach's surprise, this time Aizen seemed to be standing a bit far away. Although Yhwach had launched many attacks, he himself had not moved. Only the Sage of Six Paths had moved. But now, Aizen had taken the initiative to move away. Something was wrong!

Yhwach immediately closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes had become multiple pupils, activating his the Almighty abilities.

"Is this the time to activate the Almighty? But unfortunately, you've activated it too late. The Sage of Sage of Six Paths has already completed his plan."

As soon as Aizen finished speaking, a huge magic circle appeared centered on Yhwach, enveloping him. From the very beginning, the Sage of Six Paths had been constantly shifting through space to set up this huge magic circle, and now, the magic circle had been set up.

"Trying to control me with this? It's useless. I've already seen how this thing controls me!"

Yhwach spoke with absolute confidence, then raised his hand.

"I will..."

Yhwach was stunned halfway through his sentence.

Because in the future he saw, he was unable to stop the Sage of Sage of Six Paths' attack!

"The Quincy are a race that is skilled in using Reishi. The more abundant the Reishi in the environment, the more advantageous it is for the Quincy. But what if you were confined to an environment without any Reishi? In an environment without Reishi, to what extent can the Quincy achieve?"

As soon as Aizen finished speaking, Yhwach vanished from the spot.

Space-time Ninjutsu, large-scale spatial teleportation.

Just like Obito Otsutsuki Kaguya's Yomotsu Hirasaka, the Kamui of Sage of Six Paths also used his own space-time Ninjutsu, directly transferring the entire space where Yhwach was located into his own space.

That was his own space, a relatively small Otherworld without Chakra or Reishi!

However, at this time, this Otherworld became the prison of the King of the Quincy.

Where did you take him?

As soon as Old Man Yamamoto saw Yhwach being sent away, he immediately questioned Aizen.

"They were sent to a world that is not ours, and that has no Reishi."

Aizen gave a very honest answer.

As for whether the Sage of Six Paths could defeat Yhwach, Aizen had no doubt about it.

Because in addition to having his Hollow soul fused with Aizen's, the Sage of Six Paths also had the Karmic Debt sent from the Teyvat world by Li Yue fused with his Aizen, and not only that, Elemental Power was also added to him.

None of these powers are based on Reishi, which means that when the King of the Quincy faces the Sage of Six Paths, he will find himself unable to control the Sage of Sage of Six Paths' power.

The Quincy control Reishi have no Reishi to control, while the enemy, being a Hollow, also controls many attacks that are not launched using Reishi. How should the King of the Quincy deal with this?

Of course, that's not all; the Sage of Six Paths is also a one-time seal!

Aizen had no intention of letting the Sage of Six Paths exist indefinitely. Although he was a very precious test subject, in order to ensure the success of his plan, Aizen decisively chose to make the Sage of Six Paths a one-time test subject for Yhwach. His ultimate mission was to seal and absorb everything Yhwach had absorbed!

Just like in the Battle of Karakura Town, where he created a Hollow specifically to target Old Man Yamamoto, Aizen was adept at this kind of one-time investment!

470. The Bleach Reapers Join the Battle Again

Yhwach was defeated very quickly, much faster than anyone expected.

Not long after the Sage of Sage of Six Paths brought Yhwach to his Yomotsu Hirasaka, Yhwach reappeared. However, this time, Yhwach was enveloped in a layer of white liquid, with only his head exposed. Even this exposed head had its mouth wide open and was completely white, appearing to be unconscious.

Clearly, Yhwach had fainted, and his body was completely enveloped in the white liquid.

"It seems my plan has succeeded."

Aizen looked at Yhwach, who was wrapped up, and was very satisfied.

This was a gift he specially prepared for Yhwach, and it is clear that Yhwach received it. Now, Yhwach has become his possession.

And that making it his property means that he can now control Yhwach, and what controlling Yhwach means is self-evident.

"Captain Commander Yamamoto, I think we can end this war now."

Do you think I would agree?

"Indeed, Captain-Commander, you really can't agree to the request for a ceasefire."

Aizen nodded in approval.

"After all, Captain-Commander, you're the kind of person who would rather die than surrender. For you, maintaining the stability of Soul Society is more important than anything else, so no matter what, even if it means sacrificing your own life, you must protect Soul Society."

"Since you already know the answer, why ask?"

"Because I wanted to give it a try, maybe you would surprise me, Captain-Commander -Captain-Commander? But unfortunately, you didn't surprise me."

Aizen seemed disappointed, and his tone became somewhat somber.

"But it's not a big problem, because Captain-Commander, you have already given me enough support."

As soon as Aizen finished speaking, terrifying flames erupted from Yhwach behind him. Captain Commander Yamamoto used Yhwach's Bankai again, but this time, Bankai was Aizen Yhwach Captain Commander Yamamoto.

Captain Commander Yamamoto's Bankai was taken by Yhwach was then devoured by the Sage of Six Paths in turn fell under Aizen's control.

Aizen only needs to control the Hollowfication Sage of Sage of Six Paths, who Quincy, to devour Yhwach, thus gaining both the power of Yhwach and the Zanka no Tachi.

"So, Captain Commander Yamamoto, do you intend to continue fighting?"

Faced with Aizen's question, the Old Man Yamamoto remained silent. After all, he had no choice but to remain silent in this situation.

Meanwhile, in the observation area on the outskirts, the Bleach who had been watching were having a heated discussion.

"What's going on? Why is Yhwach standing next to Aizen, and in that state, still using the Captain-Commander's Bankai? Could it be that he's going to help Aizen fight against the Captain-Commander?"

As the youngest captain, Toshiro Hitsugaya couldn't help but ask a question.

"Unfortunately, he wasn't going to help Aizen fight against the Captain-Commander."

Li Yue thoughtfully provided an explanation.

"Oh? Youngster Li Yue, what's going on here?"

Shunsui Kyoraku also cooperated by asking questions.

"In this case, Yhwach was following Captain Aizen's orders to fight against Yamamoto."

"Follow Aizen's orders?"

"That's right. Yhwach is now Captain Aizen's subordinate. He has no self-awareness and is completely obedient to Captain Aizen."

"While I also want to take down Yhwach, buddy, isn't what you're saying about what happens after death a bit too far-fetched?"

Shunsui Kyoraku didn't want to believe it. That's right, it wasn't that he was afraid to believe it, but that he didn't want to believe it. Because if Yhwach really had become Aizen's subordinate as Li Yue said, it would mean that Aizen had mastered Yhwach's power and also possessed the Zanka no Tachi. What was the point of fighting then? The Seireitei as well just surrender.

"I also think it sounds absurd, but it's true. Captain Aizen knew everything about Yhwach a long time ago, so he had been preparing to control Yhwach for a long time. Today is the day when all his preparations came in handy, and obviously, all his preparations worked."

Li Yue pointed at Yhwach.

"Look, Yhwach is under control now, which is good."

Li Yue explained with a smile, but the Bleach wanted to curse. Was this a good thing? It was a good thing for you, but for the Bleach, it was a matter of despair.

"It seems we can't wait and see any longer."

Shunsui Kyoraku adjusted his hat.

"Captains, have you rested enough?"

With Old Man Yamamoto facing Yhwach and Aizen simultaneously, we also need to take action. Previously, we were too badly injured in the battle against the Quincy, so we couldn't face Li Yue and the group of Arrancar behind him. But now we've recovered somewhat. Even if we can't defeat Old Man Yamamoto, we captains have to step in. Even if we lose, we have to take some Arrancar with us.

If—and this is just a hypothetical scenario—there might be an opportunity to help Old Man Yamamoto defeat Aizen, or more precisely, to free Yhwach. If Yhwach were released and Old Man Yamamoto's Bankai were retrieved, the situation could return to a three-way standoff.

So, no matter what, they have to take action now.

As Shunsui Kyoraku spoke, all the Bleach drew their Zanpakuto.

"Come on, ducks! We're all trying to avoid fighting each other and minimize casualties, so why do we have to fight?"

Li Yue shook her head helplessly.

"Sorry, buddy, we're not the kind of people who sit here and wait to die. Besides, whether it's our stance or our personal perspective, we can't give up the fight."

Shunsui Kyoraku pointed his Zanpakuto at Li Yue.

"Especially when facing the unseen."

"Since you've put it that way, there's nothing we can do."

Li Yue raised his hand, and the Espada behind him stepped forward to face these Bleach.

Li Yue then picked up Sasuke and walked towards the battlefield.

"Ulquiorra, they are yours to handle. Don't hold back unless you think they are worth holding back."

"Yes, Lord Li Yue."

Although Ulquiorra is number four and not in the top three, he holds the position of the chief steward of Las Noches. He usually helps Aizen with some management in Las Noches, and he can also be responsible for command and control on the battlefield.

The Espada lined up, facing the Bleach who were also lined up.

"Then, Bleach, prepare to face our Arrancar's attack."

The top Fourth Seat of the Espada all unleashed terrifying Reiatsu, transforming into four pillars of light that shot straight into the sky.

Sasuke, who was being lifted up by Li Yue, sensed the Reiatsu behind him and immediately turned his head to look. He saw the towering pillar of light and was filled with shock and envy.

Are you envious?

"That's right."

Sasuke admitted it very directly.

"It's normal to be envious, because they are indeed very powerful. The ones in front are all top-level Hollows. Each of them is beyond the Captain level. After evolving into Arrancar, their abilities become even stronger."

Li Yue wasn't offended by Sasuke's envy of the strong; in fact, that was the norm for the Uchiha. Yes, that was the norm. The Uchiha were a clan that admired strength; they would follow whoever was strong. Within the Uchiha clan, whoever awakened the Mangekyo was powerful. Without the Mangekyo, whoever had the Three Tomoe was powerful. If you awakened your Sharingan at a young age, then you were powerful too.

Outside the Uchiha clan, if you are stronger than the Uchiha and subdue Uchiha clan, the Uchiha clan Senju Hashirama. Uchiha much so that although the Uchiha wanted to rebel later, they didn't want to break away. All they wanted to do was become Uchiha and be the most powerful person in the village. At Hokage, it was just an internal conflict within the village.

In short, when facing the Uchiha, as long as you are strong, they will shout "Awesome!" and then follow you around.

"But you need to understand one thing: they are indeed strong, but this strength comes at a price. It took them hundreds of years to become this strong, so don't think that you can get this kind of strength all at once, understand?"

"Hundreds of years?"

Sasuke looked at Li Yue in surprise.

"Does that mean I'll never be able to reach their level?"

"That's not necessarily the case; you still have a chance."

"Didn't you say it would take hundreds of years?"

"That's right. It takes them hundreds of years to become stronger, so you can also use hundreds of years to become stronger. Do you think you're still human now? You're now like me, a human with the power of Bleach. Even if your physical body dies, your soul won't die. It will only grow stronger with time. Reaching the Captain level is just a matter of time for you."

After Sasuke became Bleach, his power was completely transferred to his soul. This was completely different from his previous reliance on physical Chakra and Sharingan to fight. Now, all his power was in his soul and Zanpakuto.

"So, if you want to become that strong, you only need to do one thing: try your best to survive."
