Aizen's Grand Melee (Part One)
Under Aizen's overwhelming spiritual pressure, cracks appeared to varying degrees in the palace walls. Faced with such a powerful opponent, he felt only an overwhelming fighting spirit. Las Noches could be rebuilt later.
Just as Aizen was raising his head and preparing to challenge the even more powerful being above him, Sawada Tsunayoshi disappeared, leaving only a vast expanse of white mist.
Aizen smiled. He was still able to get his hands on Tsuna's basic information. This must be the power of Tsuna's Illusion. He didn't expect that after fighting Hitsugaya in his inner world, he could fight him in the real world.
Driven by intense excitement, Aizen activated his Zanpakuto's power. He knew Tsuna possessed a special ability to see through his Illusion, but what did it matter? In a battle of this caliber, anything that could deplete even a fraction of Tsuna's mental energy was worthwhile.
All that's needed is a mere amount of spiritual pressure.
Aizen's spiritual pressure probed into the mist, followed by the sound of a mirror shattering. A deep, resonant male voice asked, "How many floors do you have to carry a bag of rice up?"
Aizen's face showed a puzzled expression. Pain? This didn't sound like something Sawada Tsunayoshi would say. Just as he thought, when the mist dissipated, there was no Sawada Tsunayoshi at all, but a man wearing a red cloud black robe with strange nails on his face.
If it's not Sawada Tsunayoshi, what on earth is Sawada Tsunayoshi doing, conjuring up this opponent with absolutely no spiritual pressure to fight him? Isn't that underestimating Aizen a bit too much?
Without giving the strangely dressed creature another glance, Aizen scanned the surroundings. He didn't believe Tsuna would run away; he was definitely hiding somewhere.
The man, conjured by Tsuna, was displeased that Aizen hadn't answered him. He pointed his palm at Aizen and asked himself, "A bag of rice to carry up to the second floor!"
A terrifying repulsive force suddenly struck Aizen. Only then did Aizen sense the aura of spiritual pressure. It was an extremely strong force, and for a moment he was unable to resist. He was forced to the ground by the repulsive force, and the entire floor of the palace was shattered by the force.
After knocking Aizen, the man simply uttered, "Shinra Tensei."
Aizen stood up somewhat disheveled. Even the battle at Sōkyoku hadn't left him in such a sorry state. His custom-made clothes were now a mess from Shinra Tensei's attacks. He lowered his head and laughed angrily.
"Very well, Shinra Tensei, state your name!"
Even though it was an illusion created by Tsuna, Aizen had a strange feeling that it was a real person, such a powerful opponent, worthy of his remembrance.
"God Payne!"
As high and mighty as a god, Pain looked down at Aizen, who was like a defeated dog, with his contemptuous eyes. This enemy was nothing special; he couldn't even withstand Shinra Tensei.
"God?"
Aizen raised his head angrily. This guy called himself a god—what did he take him for?
Regardless of whether this was an illusion created by Tsuna, Aizen decided that he would start by killing this false god to defeat Sawada Tsunayoshi!
"Then I'll show you what a god of war I can do today!"
Aizen used Shunpo to appear in front of Pain in the Flash Step eye, his Zanpakuto enveloped in an eerie blue light as he slashed at Pain. It was just Cero slash, but with the help of the Hogyoku, he had already figured it out; this was no ordinary Cero.
It was Wang Cero's slash!
To Aizen's surprise, just as his Zanpakuto swung down, Pain in front of him changed his appearance, blocking his attack with a gourd-shaped fan almost as tall as a human body.
The Cero contained within the Zanpakuto didn't even cause a ripple; it was blocked so easily by the opponent.
Do you want to dance too?
The voice was completely different from Pain's. In just one short sentence, it revealed boundless arrogance. Aizen didn't have time to think before he heard the second half of the sentence.
"Uchiha Rebound!"
A blue light, identical to the Gran Rey Cero, burst forth from the fan. The extremely close-range attack left Aizen with no way to dodge, and in his haste, he only had time to condense a Bakudō #39: Enkōsen as a defense.
But the Thirty-Nine Bakudo, especially the un-chanted version, couldn't possibly withstand the Gran Rey Cero Aizen had previously condensed.
The blue rays engulfed Aizen, leaving only the owner of the fan high in the sky. He wore red armor, had long, spiky hair, and a hint of boredom on his otherwise invincible face.
"Boring, fighting Hashirama Senju is much more interesting." The invincible Uchiha Madara only had eyes for Hashirama Senju.
"Honestly, one or two of you, who gave you permission to act so presumptuously here!"
A roar erupted from Aizen, who was standing on the ground in a tattered uniform. At the same time, four black walls instantly rose from the ground, enveloping Uchiha Madara.
Aizen pointed his fingers and said, "Hadō 90 - Kurohitsugi!"
The instantaneous Kurohitsugi wasn't enough. Although this opponent didn't seem as strong as the previous one, Aizen still quickly began chanting the incantation for the Kurohitsugi. He wanted to encase an even more powerful Kurohitsugi outside of the Kurohitsugi!
The second layer of black rapidly rose outside the Kurohitsugi, and just as the second Kurohitsugi was about to be completed, two enormous Kurohitsugi simultaneously pierced through it.
Just by looking at the length of that blade, it was almost as long as Aizen's current palace. With a swing of the blade, the Kurohitsugi quickly collapsed, revealing the scene Kurohitsugi.
The giant was a blue giant wearing armor resembling a tengu and wielding two katanas. Uchiha Madara, who had been attacked by Aizen, stood unharmed between the giant's eyebrows.
"Interesting. You're worth killing." Even though the Kurohitsugi forced him into his strongest defensive stance, Uchiha Madara maintained his arrogant demeanor. He only showed a slight increase in interest in Aizen.
Looking at the giant before him, Aizen felt a deep sense of powerlessness. Compared to the giant, he, still at the level of Bleach, was far too insignificant.
This feeling is similar to when I first saw Tsuna's Beyond Bankai; the fusion of Zanpakuto and the power Aizen currently possesses are on completely different levels.
But this doesn't mean Aizen wouldn't dare to attack. In his Mirror Clarity, his goal is crystal clear: to ascend the Throne of the Sky. Even if a god stands in his way, he will kill them!
Uchiha Madara glanced indifferently at Aizen, and the giant Susanoo swung its twin swords at Aizen; this single strike would decide the outcome...
Five long black dragons surged up behind Aizen. Facing the giant that seemed beyond human resistance, Aizen resolutely launched a charge.
The Black Dragon formed from the Goryūtenmetsu condensed on the Zanpakuto, a supreme strike that combined the ultimate techniques of Aizen's Zanjutsu and Kido.
Hadō Kenjutsu: Goryūsen!
Five Black Dragon transformed into powerful slashes that tore Susanoo's armor to shreds, but even in the face of this seemingly one-sided battle, Uchiha Madara's face remained largely unmoved.
On his deathbed, Uchiha Madara's eyes revealed only a hint of regret. A worthy opponent, but unfortunately, he didn't have the chance to kill him with his own hands.
It was exhilarating to watch Susanoo crumble bit by bit. An intense sense of pleasure surged through Aizen's heart. This was his power. Gods and giants alike would be slain by him!
Gradually, Aizen's expression began to turn strange, as if he had been infected with some kind of maniacal laughter virus, and he spread his arms and laughed wildly to the sky.
Are you a Master?
Another cold and arrogant voice interrupted Aizen's maniacal laughter. As he gradually realized that the figures in these illusions were Sawada Tsunayoshi creating battle opponents for himself, Aizen's tone of voice also became as arrogant as his laughter.
"What Master? I am the King of the World, the ruler of the Throne of the Sky!" These were such chuunibyou (delusional) words, yet when spoken by Aizen, they were so believable that he was the true king.
"The king?"
A hint of emotion flickered in his otherwise utterly bored tone. He wondered if the king of this world could offer him even a sliver of pleasure.
"The king acknowledges, the king permits, the king bears the weight of the entire world." A sharp gaze pierced through Aizen's body, seemingly trying to see him clearly from the inside out. "Let me see, what exactly is your kingly way!"
Guided by that gaze, Aizen then noticed that in the palace, on what was originally his throne, sat a blond man with red eyes. He wore golden armor and exuded an arrogant and domineering air.
That's a king. At a glance, Aizen acknowledged the other's status as a king. First a god, then a giant, and now a king?
That was really well done, Sawada Tsunayoshi!
Aizen sighed inwardly. Although he didn't know how Tsuna's brain worked to create all these strange people, Aizen couldn't help but admire that without Tsuna, he would never have had the chance to fight so many powerful individuals in this world.
As Aizen sighed, Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes, propped his head up with one hand, a slight smile on his face. Behind him, circular ripples appeared, from which emerged numerous extraordinary-looking weapons.
The next moment, under Gilgamesh's control, countless weapons worthy of being called Noble Aizen shot towards Aizen, engulfing him like a rain of golden Aizen.
The Gate of Babylon contains all the treasures of Gilgamesh's era, each a powerful artifact on its own, yet he now uses them to launch attacks like arrows.
Faced with a barrage of Noble Phantasms, Aizen immediately activated his most proficient Kido, Bakudo 81: Bakudō #81: Dankū.
However, the Bakudō #81: Dankū glass, like glass ravaged by hail, shattered quickly.
However, this short time was enough for Aizen to prepare a response. A layer of transparent spiritual pressure covered his sword, which was as Mirror Clarity and bright as a mirror.
Aizen brandished his Zanpakuto, charging towards Gilgamesh despite the pressure from the Gate of Babylon, shouting with a hint of excitement.
"I accept your way of the king!"
(PS: Don't get hung up on the combat power. Remember that the combat power of these fantasy characters is all enhanced by Beyond Bankai Tsuna. This is still essentially a battle of spiritual pressure.)
