Kuchiki Byakuya Was Too Weak? Araki: Go to the Soul King Palace, Change Your Blood and Fight Byakuya! (2)

Even within the talent-packed Shino Academy, there were not many people who received special attention from Aizen Sōsuke. Those whom Aizen had noticed during their academy days all possessed traits ordinary people could not comprehend, along with extraordinary and astonishing power. H Hinamori Momo was one of those people blessed with great power.

A million years had presumably passed since one king and the Five Great Clans created the Three Worlds. Over those millions of years, Soul Society had produced countless geniuses: swordsmanship prodigies like Unohana, absurdly powerful battle geniuses like Kenpachi, and beings like Aizen, whose overall abilities were exceptional and whose mind was practically divine.

Someone like Hinamori Momo, whose health bar seems bottomless, will surely come in useful someday~"
