Aizen's Killing Intent! (Seeking Follow-ups!)

'He can actually see me?'

'But how is he able to see me?'

'I clearly released the Shikai of Kyōka Suigetsu right before his eyes; I should have placed him under complete hypnosis!'

One doubt after another surfaced in the mind of Sosuke Aizen, leaving him feeling incredulous and unable to believe what was happening.

The current situation had clearly exceeded the expectations of Sosuke Aizen.

For some reason, Sosuke Aizen felt as if those wine-red eyes of Gilgamesh could see right through him.

His heart began to palpitate at this moment, and the hand he had reached out toward Gilgamesh froze in place involuntarily.

Gilgamesh then spoke slowly: "The true ability of Kyōka Suigetsu is complete hypnosis."

"It can manipulate the five senses of an opponent, making them believe whatever you desire regarding the appearance, form, mass, feel, or even the scent of a specific object."

"Anyone who has seen the moment of Kyōka Suigetsu's release will be completely hypnotized, and thereafter, they will fall into a state of complete hypnosis every time it is released."

Upon hearing Gilgamesh state the true ability of his Shikai, the pupils hidden behind the glasses of Sosuke Aizen constricted violently, and he felt a chill sweep through his entire body.

One must know that Sosuke Aizen had never told anyone the true ability of his Shikai, not even Gin Ichimaru or Kaname Tosen, who had already pledged their loyalty to him.

He was extremely cautious; before his wings were fully grown, he would never reveal his trump card.

So, how could Gilgamesh possibly know the true ability of Kyōka Suigetsu?

"Just who are you..."

Thinking this, Sosuke Aizen could not help but want to demand an answer.

But before he could finish, Gilgamesh continued: "There are two ways to break it. The first is to avoid seeing the moment of release, and the second is to touch the blade before the complete hypnosis is activated."

'He knows. He knows everything!'

Sosuke Aizen screamed in his heart.

At this moment, the killing intent Sosuke Aizen felt toward Gilgamesh reached its peak.

Interests, experimental subjects, research, the ancient King of Heroes... none of these mattered anymore.

The only thing he wanted to do now was to kill Gilgamesh, no matter what!

The only problem now was how to actually kill Gilgamesh.

This was the Shin'o Academy.

Although the students of Class 1-1 had all been hypnotized by him, that was limited only to the students of Class 1-1.

Sosuke Aizen could not read Gilgamesh at all; he could not guarantee that he could obliterate Gilgamesh in an instant.

Once he failed to kill him instantly, the commotion caused by the battle would inevitably attract the attention of others.

At that point, Sosuke Aizen would truly have no way to explain himself.

He had been plotting in the Soul Society for hundreds of years; he could not accept his plans falling through completely.

What should he do...

The brain of Sosuke Aizen was racing, searching for a solution.

His face, now gloomy and entirely different from his usual demeanor, stared fixedly at Gilgamesh with eyes hidden behind his glasses, his entire body radiating a stifling, suffocating aura.

It was at this moment that Gilgamesh suddenly rose and walked toward the Garganta.

As he stepped into the Garganta, Gilgamesh turned his head to look at the stunned Sosuke Aizen and spoke: "Come. This King will let you see clearly how I shall conquer you."

Upon hearing the words of Gilgamesh, Sosuke Aizen was stunned for a moment, then his pupils constricted violently once more, and he thought to himself: 'He can actually know what I am thinking!?'

The original Sosuke Aizen had already been unable to read Gilgamesh at all.

He had not expected that after coming into contact with Gilgamesh, not only would the veil of mystery surrounding him not be lifted, but it would instead become even thicker.

However, Sosuke Aizen did not say anything more at this moment.

Although he did not know what gave Gilgamesh the confidence to step into the Garganta, it played right into his hands.

As long as he waited for Gilgamesh to enter Hueco Mundo...

No, he would strike while still inside the Garganta; he would absolutely not give him any chance!

Without any hesitation, Sosuke Aizen followed directly, and the two entered the Garganta one after the other.

Just as Sosuke Aizen entered the Garganta, the opening slowly closed.

The students in the classroom continued to look toward the podium, but their expressions had become dull and vacant; they no longer spoke or interacted, like empty shells without consciousness.

Renji Abarai and Rukia were the same.

Gilgamesh certainly knew this, but he was not worried.

Because Sosuke Aizen had only hypnotized them; he had not harmed them.

Inside the Garganta, Sosuke Aizen looked at Gilgamesh not far away, and just as he was about to strike, he saw a flash of dazzling golden radiance suddenly light up.

In the shocked gaze of Sosuke Aizen, he saw a massive golden ripple emerge from thin air behind Gilgamesh.

Immediately, the Throne of the Heaven-Soaring King, Vimana, slowly emerged from the massive golden ripple.

What is that? Is it the ability of a Zanpakuto?

As soon as this thought surfaced, Sosuke Aizen dismissed it.

Because he could not sense any spiritual pressure from the Golden Ripples or the Vimana.

At the same time, he could not help but marvel at the magnificence of the Vimana.

Suppressing the astonishment in his eyes, Sosuke Aizen feared that hesitation might lead to complications, so he raised his hand directly toward the Vimana, his spiritual pressure surging throughout his body.

That immense spiritual pressure made even the Garganta tremble as he chanted without incantation: "Way of Destruction No. 90 - Black Coffin!"

The next moment, a dark coffin constructed from extreme spiritual pressure directly enveloped the Vimana, and countless Shadow Blades pierced toward the Vimana and Gilgamesh from within the coffin.

Soon, the Black Coffin began to dissipate.

As the Black Coffin faded, the radiance belonging to the Vimana shone once more, illuminating the Garganta.

And this radiance caused Sosuke Aizen's heart to sink involuntarily.

Upon seeing the unscathed Vimana and Gilgamesh sitting upon its throne, Sosuke Aizen's heart sank to the very bottom.

Although a Black Coffin cast without incantation only possessed a third of its full power, it was still enough to defeat a weaker captain in a single blow.

However, this only further solidified Sosuke Aizen's resolve to kill Gilgamesh.

Before Sosuke Aizen could make another move, he saw a missile launched from the Vimana, hurtling toward him.

Subconsciously wanting to raise his Zanpakuto to block it, he heard the playful voice of Gilgamesh drift over: "Aizen, savor this well—the power of this Ancient Nuclear Warhead."

The hand raising his Zanpakuto froze abruptly, and an expression of disbelief appeared on Sosuke Aizen's face, as if he were doubting his own ears.

What did I just hear?

A nuclear bomb? The projectile before me is actually a nuclear bomb!?
