Chapter 49: Page 49

Of course, he can also estimate the enemy's strength to the maximum extent possible and then make targeted arrangements, but whether the resources can keep up is another question.

"Forget it, let's go back and continue the experiment!"

95

Faced with the overwhelming torrent of spiritual particles, Kurotsuchi Mayuri gave up resisting and allowed the unrivaled iron fist to blast the Hitachi Jizo to pieces before hitting his own chest once again.

But at the very end, Kurotsuchi Mayuri turned around and looked far away towards the Seireitei, or more precisely, towards where Captain-General Yamamoto was.

Captain Yamamoto, with bloodshot eyes, just watched indifferently without intervening, because he knew that Kurotsuchi Mayuri's look was not for seeking help, but for getting an answer.

Why were none of the several methods of resurrection he had arranged in various secret places effective?

At this moment, Captain Yamamoto lowered his eyes slightly and did not answer because there was no need.

In fact, Captain Yamamoto didn't know who had sneaked into the secret place of the Technology Development Bureau after the battle and destroyed all of Kurotsuchi Mayuri's means of resurrection.

But there is no need to know. As the most disliked and hated mad scientist in the Seireitei, if something were to happen to Mayuri Kurotsuchi, there would be too many people who hope that he would die cleanly, so many that Captain Yamamoto was too lazy to even think about it.

Captain General Yamamoto's silence was an answer in itself. Kurotsuchi Mayuri showed a look of enlightenment:

"I see……"

No one knows what Kurotsuchi Mayuri understood, but it doesn't matter, because the cold-blooded Kurotsuchi Mayuri didn't take this question to heart. He just wanted an answer to resolve some doubts in his heart. Then Kurotsuchi Mayuri's thoughts were completely interrupted because he was blasted into pieces again.

Although he experienced the feeling of crushing his enemy to ashes for the second time, Ishida Uryu did not feel happy, because he could sense that Kurotsuchi Mayuri had not truly passed away. His death in the Three Realms was simply a fall into hell once again. For Kurotsuchi Mayuri, who had died more than once, this was just a return home.

Of course, Kurotsuchi Mayuri's journey home was not so smooth. In the world where purity had entered his brain, he could even chew up the scattered miasma of hell. How could he let Kurotsuchi Mayuri go when he was blasted into pieces?

Ishida Uryuu wanted to rush to hell immediately and kill Kurotsuchi Mayuri completely, but he didn't even know where the gate to hell was, so he could only suppress his killing intent for the time being and whispered:

"The next time we meet, that will be the day of your real death!"

After saying that, Ishida Uryu turned around again and attacked and killed those black men from hell.

While Ishida Uryu was fighting, the Shinigami naturally would not sit back and watch. Having learned from previous lessons, the low- and middle-level Shinigami focused on defending, while the Shinigami above the rank of officer would attack and clear out the enemy.

With experience, the battle scenes of the Shinigami became much more beautiful, especially the captains. After opening their Bankai, their killing speed skyrocketed. However, after killing a large number of Hell Black Macho Men, these captains also triggered the strange changes. One after another, Hell Black Cocoons were born, and one after another, the deceased returned from Hell to the human world.

To these captains, some of these deceased were old faces, but there were also new faces they had never seen before. However, the only thing they had in common was that they were all very strong, and many of them even reached the Bankai level.

However, among these resurrected dead, there are not many who are as completely conscious as Kurotsuchi Mayuri. Most of the resurrected ones are extremely confused, and have turned into lunatics who activate Bankai as soon as they meet the enemy, and then risk their own lives as if to die together with the enemy. This gives the captains a headache.

Captain Yamamoto watched all this and didn't care about it, because he knew that hell was not a paradise where the dead could live and work in peace!

Once you sink into it, you will be killed again and again, resurrected again, and then killed again, over and over again, suffering endless suffering until your spiritual intelligence is completely wiped out, and you are completely swallowed up and assimilated by hell, becoming a mindless soul corpse wandering in hell forever!

There is no liberation in hell, only eternal suffering!

But that doesn't matter. What exists in hell is called eternal calamity. If it appears in Soul Society, whether it can be called calamity or not, I still have to ask him...

The strongest god of death in a thousand years, the most ferocious demon king who suppresses Soul Society, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni!

The shattering of Ryujin Jakka had spread from the tip of the blade to the interruption.

The root power of the soul that was once placed on the Zanpakutō and was condensed and presented through the Zanpakutō gradually returned and unified. No external medium was needed. Just clench your fists and the power would be generated.

Wisps of flames exploded from Captain Yamamoto's body, and the seal on the Eyed Monk was gradually torn apart. His only remaining right arm, from the skin to the flesh, began to wither and turn black. Under the withered and charred limbs, a dark glow like molten lava burst out with a roar of anger!

There will no longer be a Zanhuo Tachi, all that exists is only the Zanhuo body!

Raise your hands, clench your fists, and then strike out fiercely!

The blood-red sun suddenly rose from the earth, and then fell on the earth with an unstoppable force, giving the creatures of hell an equal and brutal death.

At the same time, in the underground laboratory of the Hueco Mundo in the Palace of Night, a spirit particle projection screen behind Aizen was buzzing, indicating that a high-energy spirit particle reaction had occurred in Soul Society again.

If it were in the past, Aizen would care a lot about this data. After all, setting up various secret monitoring systems in the Seireitei had consumed a lot of his energy. Any data feedback that exceeded the warning value was worthy of his attention, but now he had no interest at all.

On the one hand, this was not the first time similar data had appeared during this period, and on the other hand, there were more important things that occupied Aizen's attention.

In front of Aizen, a huge crystal petri dish stood upright, and Ichigo Kurosaki was inside it, soaking in nutrient solution and sleeping deeply.

Aizen stared at Ichigo Kurosaki with extremely focused eyes!

It’s like looking at the most precious treasure in the world.

With the help of spirit particle reorganization, Ichigo Kurosaki's "minor injuries" that cut his body and soul into hundreds of pieces recovered quickly, but Ichigo Kurosaki did not wake up.

Aizen could feel that Ichigo Kurosaki was not unable to wake up, but he just didn't want to wake up!

"What on earth are you fighting in your dream that makes you unwilling to wake up until now?"

Aizen said softly. From his observation, although Kurosaki Ichigo was in a deep sleep, his aura was changing. Various injuries occasionally appeared on his body, but they healed quickly.

He seemed to be in a dream, fighting an endless and shocking battle!

But at this moment, Dong Xian was about to enter the basement and reported respectfully:

"Those Hell Soldiers have crossed the dimensional barrier of Soul Society and have begun to invade Hueco Mundo..."

"Let the Ten Blades lead the Hollow Army to attack."

Aizen gave the order without even turning his head, his eyes never leaving Kurosaki Ichigo for a moment, he was so focused as if he was looking at some priceless treasure.

Although Tosen Kaname is blind, his overdeveloped spiritual senses allow him to see this scene. He does not think that this means Aizen's sexual orientation has taken a 180-degree turn and he has developed some strange interest in Kurosaki Ichigo, his nominal best friend. It is simply because, at this moment, Kurosaki Ichigo does have extraordinary charm.

In Tosen Kaname's spiritual perception, Ichigo Kurosaki in the petri dish was like a sun made of concentrated purity. At every moment, he was emitting light and heat that were invisible to the naked eye but extremely noisy on the spiritual level.

Moreover, every passing second seems to be stronger and more powerful than the previous one!

Ichigo Kurosaki is still transforming, and even evolving constantly.

It is this process that Aizen is observing and watching.

Then, Aizen also had a vague understanding.

73. The Limit of Death

This kind of understanding is not about power, but about other aspects.

As he savored these, Aizen felt a little complicated.

After creating the Hogyoku, Aizen conducted many experiments around it, the most common of which was to break the limits of the God of Death.

The idea behind this experiment is not complicated. It is divided into two steps. Through a large number of souls containing the spiritual power of the god of death, artificial voids are created. Then, voids are combined with the god of death to break the limits of the god of death.

The attacks encountered by Mako Hirako and other members of the Masked Corps, and their involuntary hollowing, were all Aizen's experiments. Mako Hirako and others escaped to the real world and hid there for so many years, and there was some reason for Aizen to indulge them, because he wanted to see what the subsequent consequences of Mako Hirako and others would be.

As for the results, it was not very ideal and could even be described as a failure.

After years of development and adaptation, Mako Hirako and others did have some improvement in strength when they became hollow, but that was not an essential transcendence. In fact, due to the negative impact of hollowing, their overall combat effectiveness did not necessarily improve.

Aizen was a man of strong will. Although he was disappointed with the results of the experiment, he did not give up on it, but continued to carry it out.

Although the ultimate goal of breaking the limits of the God of Death was not achieved, it produced many very practical technological by-products, such as the mass production of large hollows and the transformation of hollows into Arranoids.

Although these are just by-products of technology, they themselves contain powerful forces that are enough to subvert the three realms, giving Aizen the idea and confidence to conquer the Hueco Mundo.

This is indeed the case. Even Bylergan Ruizenbon, the King of Hueco Mundo who possessed the powerful power of aging and decay, was eventually forced to surrender and give up the throne of Hueco Mundo, and then became the chief officer of the Ten Espada under Aizen.

However, conquering Hueco Mundo was not Aizen's goal, it was just a means for him to collect resources and verify technology. After conquering Hueco Mundo, Aizen's experiments continued. Finally, in a fusion experiment based on a large number of Shinigami souls, an extremely special Hollow was born.

At the beginning, Aizen didn't pay much attention to this Hollow. He just sent it to the real world casually to attack the Shinigami stationed in the real world. This Hollow was soon killed in the real world because of its own instability and encounter with the enemy, but as far as the observation results were concerned, it brought Aizen a great surprise.

This special Hollow possessed extraordinary potential. Before it died, it scratched and bit its enemy. Then, due to its unknown talent, or perhaps simply by some coincidence, this Hollow did not actually die. Instead, it eroded into the enemy's body through the wound and finally merged with the fetus in the enemy's body.

And this fetus is the unborn Kurosaki Ichigo!

The Shiba family's ancient bloodline that has continued from the Soul King era to the present, his mother's pure Quincy bloodline, and the extraordinary potential of the power of Hollows, all of these made Aizen regard Kurosaki Ichigo as the most important test subject in his life. Afterwards, he also responded with the utmost patience, and after Kurosaki Ichigo was born, he had been silently watching and observing him.

Even the fact that Kurosaki Isshin forgot Kurosaki Ichigo's birthday several times, Aizen knew it clearly, because Aizen would silently spy on Kurosaki Ichigo's birthday every time and had never missed it in more than ten years!

Although Aizen has a very conceited and arrogant personality, he has always given a very high evaluation of Kurosaki Ichigo's potential. He also had a premonition that Kurosaki Ichigo's achievements would be limitless, but Aizen did not expect that all this would come so quickly.

From his awakening to now, it has been less than half a month, and Ichigo Kurosaki has evolved from an ordinary person to a level that even Aizen cannot understand.

The unconscious Ichigo Kurosaki is still fighting in his dreams, his aura and strength changing constantly. Sometimes he is extremely powerful, like an exploding nuclear bomb, or like the rising sun; sometimes he is as ethereal as the sky, empty, and it is impossible to feel its boundaries and thickness. Even if he tries his best to raise his head to peek, he can only feel a vague outline. He can't even be sure whether that outline exists or is just a cognitive error.

But what really made Aizen feel complicated was not these, but that although Kurosaki Ichigo was unconscious, he seemed to know that Aizen was observing him outside, and then he also tried to reduce the changes in his aura and strength.

That level that is as ethereal as the sky, where people cannot feel the boundaries and thickness at all, is Ichigo Kurosaki's current realm. And the powerful power like a nuclear bomb and the rising sun is just Ichigo Kurosaki's effort to lower his own level and make Aizen "understand".

This damn tenderness and sincerity made Aizen feel mixed emotions.

"My dear friend, I believe in you. You won't lose to anyone. Come on, I'm waiting for you here..."

Faintly, Aizen seemed to hear Ichigo Kurosaki's silent whisper.

As a master of illusion, Aizen was unable to confirm for the first time in his life what was real and what was an illusion, and he was unwilling to make the distinction.

Just stand there quietly, watch, and then savor the complex thoughts surging in your heart.

Is what is surging in my heart the loss that comes after my ego and arrogance have been shattered?

Or maybe, is it the first time in your life that you have the urge to do something?

After a long time, Aizen raised his hand, took off his glasses, crushed them, and then pushed his fluffy hair back. For the first time, his long, sharp eyes and the arrogant look in them were exposed without any disguise. Then he whispered:

"Kurosaki Ichigo, I think you underestimated me!"

Completely abandoning all disguises also meant that Aizen had made a decision. He no longer paid attention to Kurosaki Ichigo, but turned and left. Tosen Kaname also followed him without saying a word.

The door of the laboratory was pushed open, and Gin was waiting outside with a smirk on his face. At the same time, Hinamori was also there!

After being persuaded by Ichigo Kurosaki, she firmly believed that Captain Aizen was not dead, and she always followed behind Ichigo Kurosaki. And on that day, after her whereabouts were exposed by the monk with eyes, she saw Aizen appear and she immediately went over to him. But before she could say anything, she was taken to the Soul King Palace by Rukia's hairspray hand.

After leaving the Soul King Palace, Urahara Kisuke, Hirako Mako and others returned to the human world, but she did not choose to return to Soul Society, but followed Aizen and came to Hueco Mundo!

Aizen paused, stared at Hinamori, and finally said:

“I won’t explain anything to you. If you are determined to follow me even if it means falling into hell, then come on. If you still care about the ties with Soul Society, then leave!”

After saying this, Aizen continued walking without even glancing at Hinamori.

The reason why he gave her a chance to follow him was because of Hinamori's persistence in chasing him all the way to Hueco Mundo.

Hinamori saw that Aizen no longer concealed his gentle and generous attitude, and felt Aizen's indifference and carelessness towards her. She just lowered her head slightly, as if she was making a choice, but she made a decision quickly: "Yes, Captain Aizen, I am willing to trust you as always, follow you, and will never betray you!"

Aizen did not respond, nor did he bother to respond!

So he didn't notice that when Hinamori raised her head, there was a hint of morbid fanaticism and some budding pure power in her gentle and innocent eyes.

But even if he found out, Aizen wouldn't care, because compared with the vast and drastic changes in the era before him, these were trivial matters not worth mentioning.

In the weak area of ​​space bordering Hueco Mundo and Soul Society, endless black tough guys from Hell poured in, completely dyeing the endless withered sea of ​​sand in Hueco Mundo black. A large number of Hollows have already stood on the front line, led by the Espada-level Arrancar, fighting against the army of Hell.

Aizen arrived at the front line. He stared at the endless black tide of hell and saw that the offensive of the Ten Espada was being blocked. Not only could they not advance, but they were being pushed back. Then he whispered faintly:

"Your Majesty!"

The overwhelming spiritual pressure, which is at least ten times that of an ordinary captain, crushed out like a sea and a tide, and one after another, the black tough guys from Hell fell to their knees involuntarily!

Aizen did not draw out the Kyoka Suigetsu, but slowly clenched his fists, and then relying on his honed and flawless physical skills, he charged into the dark flood of muscles.

At this moment, in the laboratory under the Kyūya Palace, the unconscious Kurosaki Ichigo's fingers moved slightly.

And in his inner world, mountains made of steel and bones were shaking, burning rivers woven from flames and blood were sometimes exploding and sometimes flowing back, and the roar woven from endless thunder was sounding as crazy as a war drum.

There is a reason why Ichigo Kurosaki's inner world is so unsettled, because a shocking battle is taking place here.

Uncle Zangetsu's figure fell like a meteor, with such force that it even smashed a mountain made of steel and bones. Then, a white figure followed closely and also smashed heavily into it. The dust gradually dissipated, and the white figure climbed up first, roaring:

"Ichigo Kurosaki, you beast, I'm just a mount. No matter how much you beat me, I won't become stronger for no reason!!!"

The white figure looked exactly like Kurosaki Ichigo, and was none other than the Hollow White, the source of Kurosaki Ichigo's Hollow power.

Kurosaki Ichigo walked over leisurely with his hands in his pockets. He did not respond, but raised his head, as if sensing something, and then muttered to himself:

"As expected of my best friend, he has figured out the secret of purity so quickly. I am looking forward to what his fist will taste like, with his arrogance and ambition hidden for many years as the source. However, that Hinamori is also quite interesting. Without the impetus of the fire of fighting spirit, he can step into the realm of absolute domain just by relying on his fanatical and somewhat twisted longing heart. It is really an eye-opener. I hope my best friend can realize it soon, otherwise, I always feel that the girl's lingering murderous intent will bring some disaster to my best friend..."

Although his body was in a coma, for Ichigo Kurosaki, the magical uses of purity were endless. With the perception of purity, he could know anything he wanted to know.

From the Shizueide Garden to the Hueco Mundo, even in the real world, and even in the Soul King Palace, as long as the place is covered by the purity system, it is within the range of what Ichigo Kurosaki "knows".

Ichigo Kurosaki also knows that his strength and skills are gradually moving away from the scope of "human", and many of his performances are increasingly beyond the common sense of others.

But he didn't care about this. If he couldn't even break common sense, how could he, as the strongest, carry out his absolute will to protect everything he wanted to protect even at the cost of destroying the entire world!

But to truly achieve this, his current power to shatter common sense is not enough, far from enough, he needs more, stronger and more powerful power.

And the way he gets stronger is to keep punching and inflict even more intense blows!

Ichigo Kurosaki withdrew his gaze from Aizen and looked at Kyobaku, saying gently:

"You are my strength and an irreplaceable part of my life. I believe you can do it, and you definitely can do it. Whether you want to unleash your potential or explode your heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, you must become stronger. You can't do it now, maybe it's just because the beating I gave you was not enough..."

Xu Bai's face was a little distorted. Apart from the word "beast", he didn't know what to say!
