The Unforgiven from Shinigami
Hueco Mundo, Las Noches.
The dimly lit laboratory was slightly illuminated by a faint blue light. Aizen looked at the Hōgyoku on the table and murmured, "As expected, my idea was correct."
Initially, he thought that the residents of Rukongai who lacked Spiritual Power and the spirits with Spiritual Power were opposites.
But after trying for a while, it failed.
He realized that the opposite of the human soul might be the void.
So, on August 22nd, he used the Garganta to reach Las Noches and began to create the reverse Hōgyoku using the Hollow as the main material.
As for the task assigned by Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, he had already instructed Kaname Tōsen possess Kyōka Suigetsu and maintain an illusion of himself there.
In any case, capturing Oniyasha requires more strategy than brute force; it's like slowly boiling a frog in water—the planning takes a long time.
When the time comes to an end, Kaname Tōsen will naturally contact him.
Before that, he only needed to focus on his research on the Hōgyoku.
In fact, he had already considered using a virtual object to create the Hōgyoku, but in each of his previous experiments, it had been difficult to form a physical entity.
Genjirō's theories and the Soul King Fragment led him to decide to try again.
The experiment was a great success. When mixed with Soul King Fragment, the Hōgyoku, made primarily of Hollows, could be formed and possess great power.
The next step is to fuse the two completely opposite Hōgyoku.
This requires the technique provided by Genjirō, as well as his own modifications.
After all, Genjirō wanted to merge himself with Hollow, and he needed to fuse the two Hōgyoku, so modifications were inevitable.
Fortunately, he was very knowledgeable and improved upon the original technique to create a more suitable Kidō technique for fusion with the Hōgyoku.
He placed the Hōgyoku, which was the size of a crystal ball, on the platform, and then took out the Soul King Fragment that he had taken from the corpse of the Fullbringer.
A burst of white light instantly illuminated the entire laboratory.
Even the lenses reflected white light.
He placed the power of the Soul King Fragment in the center of the spell, and a strange light spread across the surface like flowing water.
Two Hōgyoku located at different angles are attracted to each other.
Aizen his hand on the square frame and chanted, "Flames of stars, the ever-falling Tower of Purity, pierce, cleave..."
As he chanted the incantation, the two Hōgyoku collided.
In an instant, a surge of Reiatsu erupted, black lightning struck everywhere, and a fierce wind arose.
" Lord Aizen!"
Nelliel was guarding the door, immediately rushed in and asked, "Are you alright?"
"... The sunlight descends from the sky, the earth trembles precariously! At this moment, heaven and earth meet!"
Aizen's Captain's Haori floated up, no longer having the energy to care about others, staring at the gradually merging Hōgyoku, his tone somewhat manic.
His gentle and refined demeanor crumbled in an instant, revealing the ruthless nature of an ambitious man.
Bang!
The large Hōgyoku shattered, and countless fragments entered the smaller Hōgyoku, which floated in the air, with countless points of light sliding through it, as if it contained a meteor shower night that never ends.
"This is the Hōgyoku."
Aizen murmured, reaching out to grasp the floating Hōgyoku. It felt slightly cool to the touch and showed faint signs of pulsation.
That is the will of the Hōgyoku.
Or perhaps it's the will of the Soul King?
"Hehe."
Aizen let out a chilling laugh, his hand gripping the Hōgyoku tightly. Unable to contain his joy, he couldn't help but say, " Kisuke Urahara, it seems my mind is still superior to yours."
No, you also have a limited capacity for judgment. The reason you lost to me is because you mistook a half- Hōgyoku for a complete Hōgyoku, haha.
He was clearly smiling, yet Nelliel sensed an indescribable loneliness within him. " Lord Aizen."
" Nelliel, gather the other Espada and their subordinates in the main hall. Let me test the power of this Hōgyoku."
Aizen turned around.
All expressions were now concealed within composure, without a trace of loss of composure, restoring his usual calm and elegance.
He was certain that he had figured out the real Hōgyoku.
The limits of Shinigami and Hollows are like a thin sheet of paper before the Hōgyoku, easily pierced.
Let's test the waters with those fake ones first.
Soon, the Espada and their subordinates were summoned to the main hall of Las Noches. They all sensed the unusually strong Reiatsu from before, and their expressions changed somewhat.
Aizen, seated high above, looked down at the Hollows below and said in a magnetic voice, " Espada and subordinates, as you can see, I have completed the final stage of the Hōgyoku. Now, everyone, begin the Arrancar."
" Grimmjow, come with me."
"Um."
With a defiant response, the blue-haired Pantera to the front of the stage, staring directly at Aizen sitting there. He did not kneel down, his long tail swaying restlessly.
Seeing this, Nelliel immediately reprimanded, " Grimmjow, you're being far too presumptuous in front of Lord Aizen!"
"There's no need to be so harsh."
Aizen stopped her scolding, his eyes full of gentleness as he said, "Kneeling is quite inconvenient, so just squat down."
Grimmjow was still hesitating.
He just squatted down in front of so many people, isn't he a leopard, not a kitten or puppy? Doesn't he have any dignity?
"What's wrong? There are other compatriots waiting behind us, don't dawdle."
Aizen's face showed no anger as he said gently, " Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez."
Grimmjow's blue pupils dilated, and in his line of sight, Aizen sat there motionless, his amethyst-like Reiatsu emanating from his body.
The immense pressure felt like the sky was falling.
Regardless of his will, his body instinctively squatted down, his brow beaded with sweat.
"It seems you understand what I meant."
Grimmjow kept his head down, unable to see the expression on that face, feeling only extreme humiliation and deep fear.
Aizen placed the Hōgyoku on his head, and under the gentle light, the Hollow-like shapes on Grimmjow's body gradually faded, making him look more like a human.
He even had clothes, and a Zanpakuto hung at his waist.
"Next, Zomali Lulu."
"Yes." This one was clearly much smarter; he immediately knelt down and lowered his head.
Aizen helped him Arrancar, and then successively turned the Espada who hadn't yet Arrancar Espada Arrancar, even successfully converting their subordinates.
"Gentlemen, our all-out war against Shinigami is about to break out."
Aizen put away the Hōgyoku, stood up from his seat, and said with his usual calm and composed expression, " Nelliel, Tier Harribel, go outside and gather more of your comrades to prepare for battle."
The remaining Espada continued to remain in their respective palaces as usual.
Don't be nervous or afraid.
Just do as I say and follow behind me.
"We have no rivals ahead of us."
The Espada displayed a variety of expressions, some filled with excitement, some with admiration, and others with indifference and resentment.
The expressions on the faces of the subordinates were even more complicated.
anyway.
Aizen no longer cared. From the moment he made his decision, all the Espada in Hueco Mundo were to sacrifice their lives for the goal he set.
That time was when he completely controlled the Hōgyoku's will.
