Illusion, the New King's Ascension
With his Sosuke Aizen appears to be a gentle man who always wears a smile.
Even at the crucial moment of forcing him to abdicate, he remained calm and composed, appearing completely at ease.
Behind Aizen, Kaname Tosen, wearing goggles, moved his thick lips and gave Ulquiorra a definition.
"Traitor."
Upon hearing this, Ulquiorra expressionless, but his dark green cat eyes narrowed slightly, and a murderous intent arose in his heart.
Since being given a "Mind Stone" by Wang Yan, he has become someone else entirely.
Human beings' greed, anger, ignorance, hatred, love, evil, and desire constantly influence their emotions and judgment.
However, he enjoys the present.
Ulquiorra believed that this was what it meant to truly "live".
"Huh? A traitor?"
Grimmjow, now the Sexta Espada, Body Flicker Technique in front of Ulquiorra and looked at Kaname Tosen provocatively. "Are you serious, Grim Reaper?"
Indeed, from a realistic perspective, Aizen, Kaname Tosen, and Gin Ichimaru are all traitors to Soul Society, and as the opposing Grim Reaper, we have no right to condemn them.
"Aizen plundered my territory."
The Segunda Espada appearance of Baraggan Yinsen resembled that of an aged king.
He stared intently at Aizen and the others, and said coldly, "I swore long ago that I would make him pay the price."
"Now, the time is ripe!"
Las Noches was originally Baraggan Yinsen's territory. After Sosuke Aizen, he divided Las Noches into his own palace and that of the Espada.
This is what Baraggan Yinsen finds most intolerable.
After all, he was once the king of Hueco Mundo.
A true king will never remain subservient forever.
Whether they were under Aizen's command or now submit to Ulquiorra, it's all the same.
He will quietly accumulate strength, and one day he will rise again and return to the peak!
Upon hearing this, Primera Espada Stark sighed.
When it was first born, due to its uncontrollable ability, any of its kind that appeared around it would be absorbed and digested.
Endless loneliness caused him to split his soul into two individuals: "Stark" and "Lilynette".
A scene of peaceful coexistence is extremely rare, and Kotaya detests such scenes of mutual slaughter.
Kothael looked lazy and nonchalant, but her tone was very sincere. "Speaking of which, we have to thank Lord Aizen for taking the Hogyoku from Kisuke Urahara and helping everyone become Arrancar."
"We can sit down and have a proper talk."
Kisuke Urahara is a cunning Grim Reaper.
He once hid the Hogyoku inside the body of a young girl in the Kuchiki family, and later secretly retrieved it and hid it again.
Aizen went to great lengths to obtain the Hogyoku.
Kotaia has seen all of these efforts.
Upon hearing this, Baraggan Yinsen's lips curled up slightly, and he said mockingly, "Didn't you, like Ulquiorra, voluntarily Arrancar? What does this have to do with Aizen?"
"Let Hueco Mundo handle its affairs."
"There's no need for Grim Reaper to interfere!"
"Besides, Aizen mainly took the Hogyoku for his own benefit, didn't he?"
Ulquiorra's eyes narrowed slightly as he silently Baraggan Yinsen down in his notebook.
After Wang Yan imbued him with Mind Stone, he seemed to have become much more petty.
However, Baraggan Yinsen is indeed a potential problem.
A king who is addressed by his own name by his subordinates has no dignity whatsoever.
Although Grimmjow, the Sexta Espada, is arrogant, he is ultimately someone who respects the strong. As long as you completely defeat him in a fair duel, you can earn his respect.
Baraggan Yinsen is different.
He was an ambitious guy who refused to be second to anyone.
After taking some time to identify everyone present, Ulquiorra slowly drew the long blade from his waist.
He pointed his sword at Aizen, his tone icy and chilling. "Let's start the war."
"The winner is king, the loser is a bandit."
Sosuke Aizen's Zanpakuto is indeed very troublesome.
The Genjutsu abilities of the Illusion are always invincible, often able to hypnotize opponents regardless of their strength.
But Ulquiorra had been preparing for this battle for a long time.
Sosuke Aizen scrutinized Ulquiorra for a while, seemingly recognizing his former subordinate for the first time.
"You... are not bad."
He slowly drew the light green hilt of his sword and said calmly, "After this battle, I will give you another chance to pledge your loyalty."
As it turns out, what determines the outcome of a decisive battle is not "fashionability" or "pretentiousness."
Aizen's side fled in panic after the war.
Even the important treasure—the two-in-one enhanced version of the "Hogyoku"—fell into Ulquiorra's hands.
Kaname Tosen blind, and Gin Ichimaru is an undercover agent who slacks off.
When facing Ulquiorra, Aizen's Espada always seemed somewhat restrained, as if they had encountered a natural nemesis and were unable to unleash their full potential.
The key to the battle lies in Ulquiorra's methods of dealing with "Illusion".
In the Infinite Planes, most seemingly invincible abilities have their limitations.
The same applies to Illusion.
Hypnotizing someone requires consuming Aizen's spiritual pressure.
If the opponent is too strong or too numerous, the consumption will increase exponentially, to the point that the effect of "Illusion" will be forced to be canceled.
Also...
The Illusion has no effect on the blind.
Ulquiorlo gouged out his own eyes.
Such injuries can be repaired after the war, so he acted decisively and without any hesitation.
This directly affected the course of the battle.
"Hueco Mundo is now under my control."
Ulquiorra, holding the Hogyoku that emitted a blue-black light, slowly walked to the throne of Las Noches.
He looked down at the Espada who had surrendered again, his eyes gleaming with a deep, cold green light.
The new king needs to consolidate his rule.
Some simple-minded individuals can be appointed as Admiral and given important responsibilities.
For example, Grimmjow.
Grant privileges and honors to those who have no ambition.
Like the Primera Espada, Cortaya Stark.
There's a rebellious streak in the back of his head...
Naturally, we need to find a way to deal with it.
Kill them outright?
Ulquiorra originally intended to get rid of Baraggan Yinsen in this way.
Now, he has a better idea.
Reorganize the Exequias, abolish the Espada system, and expand the army.
Two months after the Hueco Mundo Revolution began in earnest, the new king's position was temporarily stabilized.
At this critical moment, Ulquiorra seized the opportunity and announced his entry into the World of the Living.
"Use Karakura Town as a strategic stronghold to conquer the World of the Living!"
Ulquiorra successfully ignited a Hueco Mundo.
Even the most peace-loving former Primera Espada obeyed this order.
As a Vasto Lorde- class Menos Grande who self -Arrancar, Kothael could survive by absorbing Reishi from the air, but his subordinates could not.
Rather than letting their subordinates devour each other, let them wreak havoc on humanity and plunder human souls!
Koyat Stark is a lazy and mild-mannered fellow.
Essentially, he is "illusory".
Race determines one's mode of thinking.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with the new king starting a war.
In fact, his inner wisdom allowed him to see through Ulquiorra's true thoughts.
In reality, it was merely a springboard for attacking Soul Society.
In war, it's normal for a few disobedient guys like Baraggan Yinsen to die occasionally, isn't it?
In the World of the Living, Karakura Town.
Ichigo Kurosaki was engrossed in reading a book titled "A Collection of Interesting Short Stories from China".
After reading the last story, titled "The Story of Shi Eating Lions," a system notification suddenly sounded in his mind.
[Congratulations, host, on completing the advancement mission.]
The "Scholar Domain" has evolved into the "Academic God Domain."
Several months have passed since he acquired the system, Ichigo Kurosaki feels that he is living a very fulfilling life.
"Domain evolution?"
Disappointment appeared on Ichigo Kurosaki's face.
He hopes that the reward for the "random skill advancement" task will fall on his writing skills.
