Half-Fusion

"Where 'Hogyoku? Did you hide it?" Tsuna asked directly, showing no awareness of the other person's secrets.

Aizen didn't mind telling Tsuna about this, but that didn't mean his other subordinates were entitled to know. He looked around and immediately came up with a way to get rid of them.

"Sora Inoue!"

"Lord Aizen." Upon hearing Aizen's call, Sora Inoue immediately emerged from the ruins and replied respectfully.

"You will be in charge of rebuilding Las Noches. Everyone must participate, including the Espada!"

At this point, Aizen released a burst of spiritual pressure, mainly targeting the first few Espada, with his primary target being Barragan, his disobedient subordinate.

Under the combined pressure of this spiritual pressure and the formidable power Aizen had previously displayed, none of the Arrancar had any objections; they all knew they were not qualified to hear the rest of the conversation.

Under Sora Inoue's organization, the Arrancar of Las Noches dispersed in an orderly manner, while Aizen used the Dangai to set up a simple barrier around his palace.

Only after the barrier was completed did Aizen continue the previous topic. He smiled and raised his hand, a crystal appearing in his palm. "Thanks to you, the Hogyoku was able to truly fuse into my body."

Aizen's previous state was merely moving the Hogyoku forward onto his body; strictly speaking, it couldn't be considered a fusion.

Now, the Hogyoku has truly merged into Aizen's body, existing freely within Aizen, which is why Aizen can summon the Hogyoku from his palm.

"This can only be considered a partial fusion. You haven't fully mastered the power of the Hogyoku yet," Tsuna said. If it were a true fusion, the Hogyoku shouldn't exist alone, but should become part of Aizen's body.

"Snort!"

Aizen flipped his hand and retracted the Hogyoku into his body. He was already very satisfied with achieving this state. As for the posture that Tsuna mentioned, he felt it was something that could only be encountered by chance.

"Where's your sword? You didn't give it back to me, did you?" Tsuna asked another question.

Mentioning his Zanpakuto, a smug look returned to Aizen's face, and he said with a hint of pride, "My Zanpakuto is, of course, fused with me!"

As he spoke, Aizen made a grasping motion with his hand, and the white substance in his hand shaped like a blade. He was now holding the Zanpakuto's blade completely empty-handed.

Tsuna frowned and circled Aizen for a while, finally coming to a conclusion, "You're just a half-baked novice, aren't you? Your sword doesn't seem to have generated any new power."

Two eyes opened from Tsuna's collar; these eyes were those fused with the power of the Mist-attribute Fullbring. Through D. Spade's magic mirror, he didn't realize that Aizen's sword possessed power beyond Kyoka Suigetsu.

Aizen's smug face twitched slightly. Did he not know whether it was half-baked or not? Right now, the power of Kyoka Suigetsu was the same as the Hogyoku, only it had been integrated into his body. He could use it at any time in the form of a sword.

Convenience has improved, but no new power has emerged. For example, Tsuna Zanpakuto, after fusion, can unleash Illusion abilities that even Tsuna's Mirror Clarity cannot see through, Aizen cannot do for the time being.

Thinking of this, Aizen asked curiously, "Sawada Tsunayoshi, why can your Illusion still work on me?"

"When did you come to the misconception that my Illusion are just Illusion?"

Hearing Tsuna respond with the same words he had used, Aizen was momentarily speechless. Fortunately, Tsuna did not launch a sustained attack and provided an answer to him in the next moment.

"It's very simple, just like this."

Tsuna snapped his fingers, and an eye on his calf slowly opened, as if the speed had slowed down countless times. A ball of white liquid next to Tsuna gradually formed a human shape.

A muscular man with jet-black limbs and a white body appeared beside Tsuna. He had three Hollow Hole in his chest, four tails growing from his back, and six wings with Hollow-like Visored on their backs, each with a large eye on it.

The humanoid creature that Tsuna had just created also had flowing black hair and a black face that showed no expression. On either side of this face, there seemed to be two leather objects.

Then Tsuna tapped the ground lightly with his staff, and a violent roar came from the muscular man. His teeth were all protruding, his eyes were fierce and sharp, and a vertical eye was torn open on his forehead.

Aizen watched the whole process with a frown. He roughly understood what Tsuna meant. All the characters that Tsuna conjured were shaped with Hollow's power and then given consciousness by Bleach power.

From a certain perspective, they are all real, all tangible, like the void, yet they are also false, like clay, which Tsuna can erase at any time.

Therefore, even Aizen, who had activated his Mirror Clarity, could not escape Tsuna's Illusion.

However, the thing Tsuna conjured this time was truly disgusting. Compared to his previous opponents, it could hardly be called human, which made Aizen a kind of physical aversion.

"What an ugly thing!"

Upon hearing Aizen's assessment, Tsuna quickly closed his eyes, his gaze shifting, and he pursed his lips, acting as if this Las Noches was truly Las Noches, clearly concealing something.

Aizen somewhat confused, unsure of what Tsuna was thinking, while Urahara, who had watched the whole thing, wore a playful smile and transmitted his spiritual pressure to Tsuna.

"That's Aizen?" Based on Urahara Kisuke's understanding of Tsuna, that character couldn't have been made up randomly; he must have some of Tsuna's wicked sense of humor.

Suppressing a smile, Tsuna nodded slightly. The character he had just conjured was Aizen in the final stage of fusion with the Hogyoku in the story. However, he had slightly modified the details, such as the hair color and the human skin next to his cheek. He hadn't even fabricated the Zanpakuto, and he hadn't fully revealed the truth to Aizen.

As expected, even Aizen himself thought it was ugly, which proves that the state in the story was a completely wrong evolution, a product of Hogyoku's twisted mentality after he was defeated Ichigo Aizen.

Just like Apocalymon and Gallantmon, they are both evolutions, only the direction of evolution is different.

Aizen gave Tsuna a strange look; the other's expression clearly indicated he was hiding something from him. However, he didn't care; his increased strength gave him the confidence to challenge Tsuna again.

"Sawada Tsunayoshi, one condition has been met. Let's finish our deal as soon as possible." Aizen glanced at Tsuna expressionlessly. With these outsiders around, he couldn't very well test his new abilities. "Hueco Mundo is not a place for you."

"Huh? Are you in such a hurry to send us away?" Tsuna deactivated his Beyond Bankai state, sheathing his sword as he asked, "We're fine, but are you really going to challenge the Soul King Palace in this form?"

"Excuse my bluntness, but it's going to be a crushing defeat!"

Tsuna never hesitates to speculate on the strength of the Zero Squad members with the utmost malice. He himself is one of the candidates for Soul King, possessing four abilities. To prevent being turned into a human puppet, he doesn't mind exaggerating the Monk's strength to an extreme degree when guessing his strength.

"Ha, you think I'll immediately ascend to the Soul King Palace after I've forged the King's Key? You underestimate me. I'll wait until I've completely mastered the Hogyoku before taking my throne."

Aizen didn't mind being the vanguard for Tsuna and the others; he was going to take that position sooner or later anyway.

If Tsuna hadn't made the trip to Hueco Mundo, Aizen's plan would have been to fuse them to the current level, which would have been enough to suppress everything. All that would have been left was to synthesize the King Key and challenge the Soul King Palace.

After witnessing Tsuna's strength, Aizen changed his mind. Even Sawada Tsunayoshi was wary of the Soul King Palace, so he should become even more perfect before considering going to the Soul King Palace.

"As long as you have a plan, just remember to let me know when it's over. I want to watch the live broadcast," Tsuna said sincerely. Rather than scheming against Aizen, it's more satisfying to be straightforward.

However, this overly direct statement still made Aizen slightly uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but retort to Tsuna, "Aren't you afraid that I'll ascend the throne and control the three worlds?"

"Why don't you defeat the Zero Squad first? If it comes to that, maybe the shopkeeper will stop you?" Tsuna truly didn't care whether Aizen could control the Soul King Palace; this confidence came from his strength.

"Hey, Tsuna, don't take this out on me!" Urahara Kisuke covered his mouth with his fan, clearly annoyed, but his sharp eyes remained fixed on Aizen.

Urahara Kisuke? Ever since accepting the sample from the Seireitei, Aizen has once again set his sights on Urahara Kisuke. What makes Urahara dare to storm Las Noches alongside Tsuna? Does Urahara Kisuke truly possess the ability to oppose him?

It sounds absurd, but he was also the man who invented the Hogyoku. Did Urahara Kisuke use some kind of tool to reach a level where he could fight against him? Aizen slightly increased his attention to Urahara.

"By the way, since we can create the Seireitei, you should have a way to create a barrier to lock it in, right?" Tsuna asked.

Aizen's creation of the Royal Keys was not something that could be accomplished in a single day. If the Reishi of the Seireitei could not be locked, Reishi would gradually dissipate within Hueco Mundo over time, greatly diminishing the effectiveness of the Seireitei.

"Of course, but I need some help, Gin Ichimaru, sir?"

Aizen turned his gaze to Gin Ichimaru. The core technology of Las Noches was still in the hands of the three Bleach. Now that Kaname Tōsen going out and wouldn't be able to return for the time being, Aizen had no choice but to set his sights on Gin Ichimaru.

Since the previous transaction had already taken effect, Gin Ichimaru was no longer Aizen's subordinate, which is why Aizen had to ask.

Gin Ichimaru didn't answer, but instead wanted to look at Tsuna, who was the Tsuna who had saved him. On the issue of Aizen, he listened to Tsuna.

"It's up to you." Tsuna didn't want to interfere too much with Gin Ichimaru's thoughts, "But if you can help, we should be able to get back sooner."

"Okay, I'll do it." Gin Ichimaru said calmly. All the techniques were in his head, so it wasn't a difficult task for him.

"Then Gin Ichimaru- kun, please make the preparations first. We'll wait for you at the entrance of Las Noches," Aizen said.
