Seeing Hirako and the others' combined attack, Aizen raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected that this former useless captain could actually put together some decent attacks. In that case, he would take him a little more seriously, Captain Hirako.

Eighty-one modifications to the Bakudo - Bakudō #81: Dankū in All Directions!

Originally, the Bakudō #81: Dankū was just a one-sided defensive Kido, but under Aizen's modification, a sphere composed of various facets, somewhat similar to the Hogyoku, enveloped Aizen.

The next moment, meteors, slashes, punches, and Kido cannonballs all fell on the Bakudō #81: Dankū. In an instant, the location where Aizen was standing was quite beautiful, with flowers in red blooming in the sky above Sogyoku Hill.

Not satisfied with unleashing the Senju Kōten Taihō, Hirako took the Sakanade and thrust it towards the blooming flower.

Rose ' choice was the same as Hirako's: a Cero attack, their aim was to completely overwhelm Aizen with their assault.

Kensei and Aikawa Love had lost their minds and were attacking their original positions purely on instinct. Rose ' time was almost up, and turning back to attack Aizen was his last act of defiance.

Hirako, rushing to Aizen's location, finally understood why Kensei and the other two, having lost their minds, were still attacking from their original positions. His Sakanade thrust had struck an invisible barrier; hadn't their attack broken through Aizen's defense?

Hirako's question didn't last long, because Aizen's voice came from not far away from Sakanade.

"Hadō 78 - Zanka no Tachi"

A golden full moon suddenly appeared, and in an instant, Hirako and his group of four were Zanka no Tachi. The spiritual pressure of the Zanka no Tachi dispelled the dust and smoke from Hirako and the others' attacks. Aizen was unharmed within the encirclement of Hirako and his group, while Hirako and his group were cut in half at the Hirako.

The Hollowfication of Hirako three was interrupted, and a large number of Hollow fragments fell from their bodies, along with their upper and lower bodies.

Strands of white liquid gushed from their waists, forming several white threads that connected Hirako and Hirako others' upper and lower bodies. They hadn't instantly exited their Hollowfication state; the effects of their High-Speed Regeneration were still working on them.

Four thuds sounded as Hirako and his companions fell one after another onto the Sogyoku Hill. The last bit of High-Speed Regeneration restored some of their strength, but it only left them barely alive, not quite dead.

With Rose's abilities gone, Gin Ichimaru and Kaname Tōsen regain their senses. Aizen Gin Ichimaru glanced at Aizen's expression and understood his meaning. He pointed his Shinsō forward, extending it continuously, and shot it toward the carpet-covered four-man group at Sogyoku Hill.

Kill them—that was Aizen's command to Gin Ichimaru, given through his gaze. Hirako Shinji and the others' repeated attempts to stop him, Aizen had no intention of letting them live any longer.

The reason Gin Ichimaru take action was because Aizen's eyes never left Sawada Tsunayoshi. In Aizen's view, whether Hirako and the others could survive largely depended on whether Tsuna would intervene.

However, even after seeing Gin Ichimaru make a move, Tsuna remained motionless with his arms crossed. This was a promise between Tsuna and Hirako: revenge was Hirako's business, and if they were to die, Tsuna was to use his power of decomposition to collect their bodies.

A sharp metallic sound rang out, and the remaining Visored appeared around Hirako, blocking Gin Ichimaru's attack.

The remaining Visored, led by Lisa, all wore Visored, looking ready to Aizen and his two companions to the death.

Aizen's smile widened. He was pleased to see the Visored wiped out in one fell swoop. These were people immune to his Kyoka Suigetsu ability, and Aizen wouldn't mind letting them die.

"The city gate Four Beasts Sealing Gate: the dragon's tail, the tiger's bite, the tortoise's armor, and the phoenix's wings!"

Using the powers of the Four Sacred Beasts Hachigen Ushōda summoned a massive white protective wall symbolizing a dragon's tail, a large shield symbolizing a tiger, a tortoise-shell-shaped shield, and a red ring of a phoenix. He combined the powers of the Four Sacred Beasts to form a cube-shaped barrier that sealed off Aizen's trio. This was Hachigen's strongest Kido ability: the Four Beasts Sealing Gate.

Hirako saw Aizen's smile before he was sealed by the Four Beasts Sealing Gate. He didn't know Aizen's abilities, but he knew Aizen's temperament very well. Hirako knew that Aizen was going to kill the Visored, and that Lisa and the others couldn't withstand it.

"Lisa... cough... take them away... retreat..." Hirako said incoherently, lying down.

"Baldy, what do you mean?" If it weren't for Hirako's pitiful state, Hiyori would have loved to kick him a couple of times. "You're risking your life, but we can't? I'm going to teach that Aizen a lesson!"

Lisa wasn't a timid girl like Hiyori; her calm mind allowed her to understand Hiyori's anger, and even more so, the pain Hirako felt when she said those words.

The Visored has survived only because of the power of hatred. With the opportunity for revenge right in front of them, it was incredibly difficult for Hirako to give them the order to abandon their revenge and choose to run away.

"Is there really no other way?" Lisa asked.

Hirako gave a wry smile. A solution? The attack he and the other three captains used together was already the strongest they could muster, yet it couldn't even break through Aizen's defenses. Modified Kido, Eight Bakudō #81: Dankū, what kind of ability is that?

Even the captains like Hirako couldn't accomplish this, so Bankai and the other Vice-Captain who hadn't even mastered Hiyori had no chance. If they continued fighting, their only outcome would be to be killed by Aizen as if they were Hollows.

Hirako struggled to sit up; this was his last bit of strength. He said to Lisa, "Lisa, take Kensei. I'll cover our retreat."

"Are you kidding me, bald man? Your body..."

Before Lisa could answer, Hiyori was about to refute Hirako, arguing that Hirako couldn't possibly have any fighting power in his current state. But suddenly, she understood why Hirako had stayed behind: Bankai, Gyakushū Hōgōsai, could reverse the enemy's perception of friend or foe, thus creating a situation where they would fight each other.

Hirako was planning to use his Bankai himself, causing Aizen's trio to fight each other. Aizen wouldn't die because of his strength, but it was hard to say what would happen to Gin Ichimaru and Kaname Tōsen. Hirako was hoping to recoup his losses by trading one of them, and make a profit by trading two.

As for Hirako's fate after using this Bankai, there will only be one: he will be unable to escape and will be killed on the spot by Aizen.

Seeing that Hiyori Lisa arguing unreasonably and instead silently put her arms around Rose's, waiting for Lisa's final instructions.

Hiyori was the person who understood Hirako best. She usually loved to contradict Hirako, and it was precisely because of this that she understood Hirako's determination to die at this moment.

Hiyori wouldn't do something as unreasonable as "we'll all die together." After all, she was a former Vice-Captain and had a sense of the bigger picture. She understood that Hirako's choice should be respected more than continuing to cause trouble.

"Let's go with everyone," Lisa said, carrying Aikawa Love on her back, while Kensei was left to Kuna Hak's care.

With Hachigen Ushōda could no longer maintain the gesture of the Four Beasts Sealing Gate, Aizen and the other two walked out of Hachigen's barrier.

"Where are you all headed? Would you like me to give you a ride?" Aizen asked kindly.

"Go!" Hirako shouted, his eyes fixed on Aizen. He would stop Aizen at all costs, even if it cost him his life, if he made a move.

"Ha, Captain Hirako, your life isn't worth much."

To everyone's surprise, Aizen saw right through Hirako's thoughts. And it was only natural, otherwise how could Aizen still cause trouble under Hirako's close surveillance? From the very beginning, when Hirako chose him as the Vice-Captain, Aizen knew that Hirako was up to no good.

In Aizen's view, Hirako Shinji's only remaining trump card is Bankai, but it's Bankai. Unless it's as troublesome as Old Man Yamamoto's, it's nothing to be afraid of.

Just as Aizen was about to order an attack on the Visored, a sticky spiritual pressure filled with killing intent and bloodlust suddenly appeared outside Sogyoku Hill. Aizen was familiar with this spiritual pressure; it had appeared several days earlier at the Fourth Division Barracks.

Just as Aizen and the other two were drawn to the sudden spiritual pressure, a hand made of flames descended from the sky, and the City Wall on Fire.

A sharp glint flashed in Gin Ichimaru's eyes. His Shinsō suddenly extended, forming a hundred-meter-long blade, which he slashed towards the sky. The giant fiery hand was split in two, leaving Aizen and the others unharmed.

Gin Ichimaru could also see that things were getting more and more complicated today. Apart from his last trump card, he could no longer hide his other abilities. If he kept his Hundred-Meter Zanjutsu hidden any longer, he might really be defeated by the Sōkyoku today.

"What, Captain-Commander Yamamoto, do you still dare to step onto this Sōkyoku today?" Aizen asked with a smile. It was obvious who was City Wall on Fire. He had thought that Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto would retreat in fear of his Kyoka Suigetsu ability, but he did not expect Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto to appear again.

"Hmph, the safety of Soul Society is naturally the responsibility of the Gotei 13! This is the will of the Gotei!"

Currently, the people at Sogyoku Hill who are at odds with Aizen are the Visored and Tsuna. One group was forced to defect to Soul Society, and the other is Ryoka from the World of the Living. How could Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto be willing to let a group of outsiders fight against Aizen? In the name of the Gotei 13, someone from the Gotei 13 must step forward.

Although Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto didn't say it explicitly, Hirako and Aizen both understood Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto meaning. Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto was severing ties Visored and Soul Society. When it came to the crucial moment of fighting for Soul Society, it would naturally be the Gotei 13 who would do it. As for the Visored, they should just run for their lives.

Hirako gave Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto a deep look. He had originally thought that this sword demon from Soul Society was an inhuman fellow, but now he actually had feelings and was willing to personally cover the retreat of their Visored.

Hirako didn't say much, only gently telling everyone to leave. He then lay on Hachigen's body, letting Hachigen and the others lead them out of Sogyoku Hill.

"I didn't expect you to have this kind of strength. Let's have a proper fight later."

Just as Hirako was about to leave the Sogyoku Hill, he heard a rough voice filled with excitement and surprise. Hirako looked up and saw that it was Unohana Retsu and Kenpachi Zaraki.

It was Kenpachi Zaraki who spoke. He was excited about the upcoming battle and delighted to have discovered that Hirako and others possessed considerable strength.

In Kenpachi Zaraki's view, the future of Soul Society is bright. He will finally no longer be bored. Whether it's the Ryoka Visored, there are so many targets to fight against. The future looks promising.

Compared to Kenpachi's cheerful aura, Unohana Retsu appeared much more somber. Her hair was completely disheveled and draped behind her, Zanpakuto was covered in large patches of blood, with drops of blood falling with each step she took.

Unohana Retsu has entered the state of Everything's Gone. Kenpachi Zaraki was healed by her using her Everything's Gone to exchange blood. Under normal circumstances, Unohana Retsu would not use her Bankai to heal others' injuries.

Everything's Gone is like a bloodthirsty blade; every use of it will inevitably taste blood. Everything's Gone will infinitely amplify Unohana Retsu's suppressed bloodlust, and Everything's Gone cannot be shut down unless Unohana Retsu's killing desire is satisfied.

So right now, Unohana is doing her best to suppress the murderous intent that Everything's Gone amplified by the enemy. She is afraid that if she is not careful, she will attack Kenpachi Zaraki and the group of Visored next to her first.

With the arrival of Kenpachi Zaraki and Unohana Retsu, along with Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, the three of them formed the answer sheet prepared by the Gotei 13.
