Aizen Battle Royale (Final)
"I am Sword Skeleton..."
A strange chanting sound appeared, Aizen suddenly realized that the world before him had changed. It was no longer the dilapidated Las Noches; he had arrived in a red wasteland.
Giant gears spun in the gloomy sky, and swords of various shapes were stuck in the wilderness. As the words "Unlimited Blade Works" fell, Aizen found the culprit.
Wearing a black and red tight-fitting combat suit, Aizen was about to attack this newly appeared enemy when the man casually spread his hands and said, "Your opponent is not me."
Aizen wasn't about to listen to his opponent. Having already suffered several setbacks, he knew the importance of striking first, so he raised his hand and threw out a Sōkatsui.
Just as the man had predicted, he vanished bathed in azure flames, and the world filled with swords remained unchanged.
Aizen seems to be trapped here? The next moment, he dismissed this thought from his mind.
Sawada Tsunayoshi wouldn't do something so foolish. What he needs to do is put pressure on himself and help himself merge with the Hogyoku. Trapping himself with Illusion would be pointless.
So, does that mean there are still enemies in this world?
With this thought in mind, Aizen's spiritual pressure rapidly spread, sweeping outwards in more distant directions.
Under Aizen's spiritual pressure, the swords stuck in the ground seemed to vibrate slightly. Aizen didn't take this seriously; his spiritual pressure was so powerful that it was perfectly normal for unclaimed objects to vibrate.
No, no enemies were found. A slight throbbing in Aizen's forehead veins fueled his growing dissatisfaction with Tsuna. He'd almost been killed just now, and now he was going to be imprisoned?
It seems that all the opponents he encountered were too realistic, and Aizen even overlooked the fact that Tsuna uses the Mist attribute, meaning that he can create any opponent at any time.
A soft rustling sound arose, the sound of footsteps on gravel. This subtle sound was so clear to Aizen's highly focused ears that he immediately pinpointed the location of the sound.
He was a middle-aged man with long white hair, and his handsome, expressionless face seemed to be filled with the word "invincible."
What caught Aizen's attention most was the other person's left arm; the pale arm was completely out of place with the other person's yellow skin.
Was it infected with Hollow's power? And how did it manage to confine that energy to only one arm? Was it the function of those two ring-shaped components on the arm?
Out of professional habit, upon seeing different types of Hollow's power, Aizen immediately became curious about devices that could restrict Hollow's power, and he was even considering the possibility of capturing his opponent.
But Aizen's clear mind told him that this newly appeared character might even be stronger than him, and the prerequisite for capturing him was that his combat strength must be far superior to the other's.
Aizen gripped his Zanpakuto tightly, more white lines representing Hollows swirling around the blade. Regardless, he still wanted to try and crush this powerful opponent.
Unlike Aizen, the owner of the White Hand was not paying attention to Aizen at all. He was observing this world full of swords with great interest, his hand gently stroking the hilt of the sword beside him, as gently as if he were caressing a lover's cheek.
"A world of swords? How interesting."
The White Hand Master's words resonated throughout the world, causing countless swords to vibrate in response to his emotions.
Aizen. All the swords in this world were showing unusual movements, which was not good news; the opponent was very strong.
Aizen made a quick judgment, and the next moment three Kido flew towards Hakuju, including Bakudo and Destruction Hadō. He himself used these Kido as cover to launch an attack on Hakuju.
They still needed to launch a preemptive strike. Although Aizen didn't know if an even stronger opponent would emerge after he defeated Hakuju, he didn't want to be the opponent of someone who could control all the weapons in the world.
Faced with the dazzling array of Kido, Bai Shou merely raised his eyelids slightly, then with a gentle flick of his white fingertip, all the swords and blades in the world flew into the air.
They danced in the air, a storm of pure swords rose from the ground, and they cheered and danced as if celebrating the arrival of the god who controlled them.
Aizen's Kido was naturally blocked by the storm of swords, and Aizen himself was at the very center of the storm, where he could feel the hostility emanating from the weapons.
"Unfortunately, it's not the real thing." In just this brief exchange, Bai Shou had already grasped the essence of all the swords in this world. "However, for a single strike, it's no problem."
Suddenly, he opened his white palm, and all the weapons seemed to receive some kind of command, scattering throughout the world with Aizen at the core, half rising, half falling, half suspended in mid-air, and half sinking into the earth.
A vast array capable of covering the Unlimited Blade Works barrier was thus created; its only opponent Aizen, and its user was Hakuju. (Sword Soul/Saint/God/Ultimate?)
"Ultimate Ghost Sword Technique"
After calmly reciting the name of his technique, Shiro grabbed a weapon beside him and transformed into a streak of light, slashing towards Aizen.
With a clang, the swords clashed, and the sword held by the white-handed man turned out to be incredibly fragile, shattering instantly upon a single blow from Aizen's blade, disappearing into specks of starlight.
A smile appeared on Aizen's lips once again. It seemed his previous guess was wrong. This person's Zanjutsu was nothing special; he could easily catch it. As for those swords, they were a joke. They couldn't even withstand a single strike and posed no threat whatsoever.
Aizen glanced discreetly at the arm holding the sword in the sky, and once again considered capturing it alive. However, he needed to inform Sawada Tsunayoshi, so that he wouldn't be allowed to eliminate this character.
Having made up his mind, Aizen planned to thoroughly humiliate his opponent in terms of Zanjutsu before having Sawada Tsunayoshi keep him alive, as the armlet that restricted Hollow's power was worth studying.
Ding ding ding...
The sounds of swords clashing rang out continuously, but things didn't seem to be going as smoothly as Aizen had planned. Hakude's swords were swinging faster and faster, and the power was increasing. Aizen even felt that the opponent's swords were becoming sharper and sharper!
With a snap, an extremely faint sound, almost imperceptible in the midst of the fierce battle, Aizen noticed it, because the sound came from his Zanpakuto!
It was an extremely fine notch. If Aizen's deduction was correct, and the opponent's swords were becoming increasingly sharp, his Zanpakuto might shatter first.
It was this moment of surprise that caused a sharp pain to shoot from his shoulder. The speed at which the white sword was Aizen no room to lose focus. If he didn't concentrate fully, Aizen would be hacked to death.
Forcing himself to muster his strength, Aizen took two more Zanpakuto, leaving two more nicks on his Zanpakuto. Aizen's heart ached terribly; the fusion of the Zanpakuto hadn't even begun before he was about to lose it.
Aizen had considered counterattacking, but his opponent was too fast. In this array of weapons filling the sky, he simply couldn't catch a glimpse of him.
Making a move out of nowhere would only result in a missed attack, and would instead expose more weaknesses. Therefore, it seems that only defense and evasion are left for Aizen.
Defense? Can you really defend against a slash that can even cut through Zanpakuto?
Then we have no choice but to run, to run until we've used up all our swords and blades!
Using the two notches in his Zanpakuto, Aizen gained room to maneuver, and Flash Step! Sonido!
Using whatever footwork felt convenient, Aizen wanted to escape the deadly array of the Extreme Demon Sword Technique at an extremely fast speed.
But Unlimited Blade Works is a Reality Marble, and Extreme Demon Sword Technique covers the entire marble; how could Aizen possibly escape?
As soon as Aizen appeared, a sword light appeared at his landing point. Helpless, he used his Zanpakuto to block again, this time the nick on the blade was even larger.
Aizen was unaware that the Extreme Demon Sword Technique was divided into Storm Style and Iron-Cutting Style. Storm Style was the up-and-down attack method of the White Hand, while Iron-Cutting Style, needless to say, enhanced the power of the sword strike and was specifically designed to counter the equipment used for blocking.
As the gaps in Aizen's Zanpakuto increased, wounds gradually appeared on his body. He could no longer completely withstand the White Hand's attacks, and even with the Bakudo's defense, he couldn't prevent the sword wounds from appearing on his body.
Needless to say, his Zanpakuto was already in a terrible state, like a piece of scrap metal. Aizen didn't even dare to use it to defend against attacks anymore. He knew which was more difficult to repair: a broken Zanpakuto or a damaged Zanpakuto.
Zanpakuto at his side and constantly using footwork and Kido to create defenses for himself was the only thing Aizen could do. Once he entered this state, the sword wounds on his body became completely unstoppable.
Large swaths of white energy erupted from Aizen's body, High-Speed Regeneration, using Hollow energy to withstand the White Hand's slashes.
At that moment, Aizen understood that Tsuna had deliberately created this opponent with only one purpose: to strengthen his fusion with Hollow's power and accelerate the fusion process with the Hogyoku.
Aizen simply stopped running, letting the White Hand leave wounds on his body. He immersed himself entirely in the Hogyoku, believing that the Hogyoku Hogyoku respond to his expectations and ensure his survival in this ultimate swordsmanship.
"As expected of him, he grasps it so quickly," Tsuna commented. He had originally thought that Aizen would at least break his Zanpakuto before giving up, but he had underestimated Aizen's comprehension.
To Tsuna's even greater surprise, the white liquid representing Hollow's power not only enveloped Aizen, but also flowed towards Aizen's broken Zanpakuto.
The white liquid was gradually filling the damaged area of Zanpakuto, and things seemed to be getting interesting. You know, even when Hogyoku Aizen in his masked form, the Zanpakuto in his hand was still in its original form, without any changes.
The only reason Tsuna could think of for the premature intrusion of Hollow's power was that the Hogyoku was responding to Aizen's desire to repair his Zanpakuto.
To some extent, the Hollow's power can enter the Zanpakuto that represents the power of the Bleach indicates that Aizen has already begun the initial Zanpakuto fusion.
Things are getting interesting. Aizen's evolution is starting to deviate from Tsuna's original understanding. Perhaps he can complete the fusion of his Zanpakuto before he reaches that giant moth form?
