There was no such thing as a dormant state for the Hogyoku from the beginning. It has always been in an activated state. However, Aizen at that time was not qualified to control the Hogyoku.
No, that's not quite correct. Instead, the Hogyoku read Aizen's heart and sensed his current uncertainty and doubt, as well as his conjecture that the two Hogyoku could only be fully activated when they were fused together. If that was the case, the Hogyoku was just as Aizen wished!
But that was only in the past. At this moment, Aizen's ultimate will and purity, calling and belief, like a surging wave, finally touched the Hogyoku and made it respond.
The door to breaking limits and surpassing everything is so clear before our eyes, and is even gradually opening.
If it were in the past, Aizen would have been ecstatic, but at this moment, his expression was grim, and he even slowly clenched his fists.
He has devoted half his life's efforts, countless attempts, and countless efforts to this broken jade. In a sense, this broken jade represents everything he has.
But at this moment, Aizen couldn't help but ask himself, is this Hogyoku really worthy of being the one to whom he places everything?
Or in other words, could his conceit, arrogance, ambition, and everything he had thought, said, and done for most of his life be contained in such a tiny crystal ball?
It turns out that everything that the being called Aizen had in his life was such an insignificant existence?
The eyes that Aizen raised at this moment were filled with arrogance!
"What a joke! My arrogance and ambition cannot be carried by a mere broken jade. It requires the supreme will that can only be carried by the entire sky!!!"
That powerful punch witnessed Aizen's choice.
After throwing this punch, Aizen had no regrets. His heart was filled with extreme pleasure and a supreme sense of freedom as his will extended to infinity.
Nothing can stop his ambition and fist anymore, not even the ancient great void or the collapsed jade!
The dragon-shaped spiritual power surged and roared wantonly. The originally indestructible broken jade suddenly had cracks on its surface, and then the cracks spread, and then it completely shattered and was completely swallowed up. In the eyes of the ancient Daxu, the whistling dragon-shaped spiritual power kept changing its posture as it approached itself.
The vague dragon shape constructed by spiritual power gradually became clear, with a pitch-black dragon body, fluttering dragon whiskers, strong five claws, and a pair of blood-red dragon eyes, exuding an air of looking down on everything.
Suddenly, clouds and mist swirled between heaven and earth, and a black dragon flew through it, with wind and rain following it, and thunder wrapped around its claws!
The black dragon's posture kept changing. Facing the ancient void, its body kept growing larger, and it even seemed to cover the sky and the sun. When it grabbed down with one claw, it was like the sun and the moon leaning down.
This was not what the ancient Great Hollow saw, but what the Ten Blades who were participating in the battle saw, and they were all horrified.
At this moment, the Ancient Void seemed to have sensed something, and muttered vaguely:
"It's an illusion!"
Then, the Ancient Void pounced in another direction, where it felt truly threatened, and ignored the sharp claws of the black dragon falling from the sky.
The next moment, this ancient void was torn to pieces by the sharp claws of the black dragon that covered the sky and the sun.
Until its death, there was still a look of disbelief in the eyes of the ancient Daxu, and before it died, it also saw the black dragon that covered the sky and the sun gradually disappear.
It is indeed an illusion, but why can an illusion kill oneself?
With unsolved puzzles, the ancient Great Void returned to hell again.
"Oh, it's really scary. As soon as he broke through the limit, he touched the realm of ultimate power. Then, even the soul power of Jinghua Shuiyue was completely melted into the Fist of the Ghost Path. He even went a step further and switched between completely real illusion and completely illusory reality. He is worthy of being one of the top ten villains in the anime popularity rankings. His talent is amazing."
In the Spirit King Palace, a million-year-old salted fish sealed in amber now had a smile on his face!
He can see everything and feel everything.
Aizen's inner roar, belief, will, and choice are all clearly visible. Not only him, but also the shocking transformation taking place in Kurosaki Ichigo, the choices made by Captain Yamamoto and Yhwach, are all so clear to him that he even has a sense of empathy and immersion.
This is a feeling that you will never have when you sit in front of a computer to observe and operate.
"They are all so enthusiastic, which makes me feel a little excited. It's just right. The King of Fighters Fighting Tournament always has some opening ceremony performances to liven up the atmosphere. Why not take advantage of it now..."
A faint smile and whisper floated in the Palace of the Spirit King, and then transformed into a kind of will that radiated into the three realms.
At this moment, all the powerful beings who had comprehended purity in the Three Realms were drawn in the dark, and their wills were drifting out into the sky.
Crossing the ninety-nine barriers between heaven and earth, in the Palace of the Spirit King that had turned into hell on earth, on the top of that high tower covered with shadows and bloodshot eyes, they saw the noble and sacred man sealed in amber.
He looked at everyone and smiled slightly!
Then, the amber crystal covered with cracks suddenly shattered!
After a million years, He slowly walked out of the seal.
Pitch-black shadows and tragic blood-red woven into battle patterns on his naked upper body!
He opened his mouth softly and said in a pleasant voice:
"Friends from the Three Realms, I'm glad to see you. Now that the King of Fighters Tournament has been successfully held, I must inform you of a good news. I, the Spirit King, have decided to switch jobs to Hell and take the destruction of the Three Realms as my career goal. So, if you don't want to die, try... to kill me!"
The opening ceremony performance of the King of Fighters Tournament - [The Spirit King's Declaration of Destruction after Switching Jobs], Mo Yu felt that this show would definitely make the audiences in the three realms excited.
75. The First Form of the Spirit King's Divine Fist - The Spirit King's Random Punch
As expected, when Mo Yu issued the declaration of world destruction, the atmosphere became completely heated up, and the first to react were not the strong men from the three realms, but hell.
The hellish miasma, which was already very violent, now gushed out at a rate of three, five, or even more than ten times.
If we were to describe it in an anthropomorphic way, then at this moment Hell should be wearing a cheering ribbon with "Spirit King's lifelong love" written on his head, and a cheering suit with "Warmly welcome Spirit King to switch to Hell's guidance job" written on his body, and then yelling hysterically, waving the glow sticks in his hands desperately, and cheering for Mo Yu crazily!
This is not difficult to understand. After all, Hell has been devouring the Three Realms for so many years. Naturally, it is extremely eager for the Spirit King, the crystallization of the material world born from the chaotic world.
However, the mentality of those powerful people from the three realms whose wills were pulled here suddenly sank!
No one dared to ignore Mo Yu's declaration in a joking tone, because when he finished speaking, the whole world changed, like thunder, like mountains and rivers overturning, the vast and terrifying power radiated endlessly, pressing everyone to the point of suffocation.
Then, Mo Yu casually took a step forward, and endless dark clouds appeared out of nowhere, rolling like a tide, completely covering the sky. He took another step forward, and the land of Soul Society began to tremble slightly.
Although the Spirit King was not really born in the beginning of time, the survival of the Three Realms for millions of years was supported by him alone. In this divided chaotic world, he is the true creator and the supreme God King. His existence itself is equal to the world.
At this moment, His will flowed between heaven and earth, announcing that after the opening ceremony performance, the King of Fighters Fighting Tournament would now officially begin!
The King of Fighters Fighting Tournament in the Bleach world is not the King of Fighters Fighting Tournament in the KOF world, and it does not require fighters to form teams and fight to determine the winner.
Although Mo Yu received the status of God in the Old Testament, he is ultimately a new-age youth who has been deeply influenced by the traditional culture of the East. Even if he replicates God's classic operations and sends down a devastating flood, he does not like the traditional Western style in the final judgment.
The cause and effect of the world is the accumulated karma of all things, not the sin of one person, so there is no need for one person to bear it all!
The sins of the world are borne by all living beings, and the calamities of the world are resolved by all living beings.
In this King of Fighters fighting tournament that settles the cause and effect of millions of years in the world of Death, Mo Yu does not need only a few people from the protagonist team to withstand the final test, but instead casts his will to destroy the world on everyone equally.
The battle starts at this moment!
Taking one step at a time, the power of heaven and earth rolled in. The wills of all the pure and powerful people in the Three Realms were being tested and impacted by this power. Some retreated, some resisted stubbornly, and some rose up against the current and responded to Mo Yu with the same fierce will.
Through the body of the Spirit King, Mo Yu felt everything. The wills of many powerful people turned into invisible but hot fists, ready to go!
As if an invisible announcement...
As long as Mo Yu walks out of the Lingwang Palace, a fierce and cruel fight until the last drop of blood is inevitable!
Such a high-purity response made Mo Yu laugh:
"You weren't scared, so you're trying to scare me instead? The purity is very good. It didn't disappoint me. Let me personally experience whether this world created by me is worthy of continuing into the new era!"
Mo Yu leaped out of the Spirit King Palace, then opened his arms and enjoyed the thrill of free fall from tens of thousands of meters above the ground!
The wind was blowing in my ears, and the earth was rapidly expanding. Finally, with a loud bang, the ground cracked, and a deep pit suddenly appeared. Mo Yu landed on one knee in the standard posture of a superhero, stood up, and then walked forward.
Dark clouds rolled in, the earth began to tremble, and the shadow of hell began to spread rapidly. There were so many strange visions, just because the Spirit King set foot in the world he created for the first and last time after a million years!
In the Jingling Courtyard, silence spreads!
In the center of Soul Society, there are many people who are qualified to be dragged to the Soul King Palace to participate in the opening ceremony performance. Especially some time ago, Rukia used the Muscle Light to fiercely recruit a large number of new members for the fighting world.
Perhaps many people had had some premonitions before, but they just had some hope in their hearts. Now the Spirit King's declaration of annihilation completely extinguished the hope in their hearts.
The Spirit King's creation of the Three Realms is an infallible miracle. No matter how arrogant a person is, as long as he takes a look at this world and considers whether he can do it, he will understand the absolute gap between God and man.
Panic and uneasiness, fear and cowardice instantly spread throughout the Soul Society, and everyone's eyes involuntarily fell on Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.
If the sky falls, the tall man will hold it up. The strongest god of death in a thousand years is the backbone of the entire Jingling Court after all. It seems that as long as he doesn't fall, there is still hope.
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni felt the expectation and gaze. He turned his head slightly and looked at the monk with eyes who appeared out of nowhere, and said lightly:
"I can understand why my useless disciples, weak ordinary Shinigami, and even useless nobles look at me like this, but Captain Zero, as a royal spy, shouldn't you lead by example when the Soul King sets foot on the mortal world? Why are you looking at me like such a useless person?"
Monk Yan heard this and smiled awkwardly: "The main thing is that many of my arrangements and backup plans are in the Spirit King Palace. Now that the evil god of the outer way has controlled the body of the Spirit King and escaped, I am a bit troubled. Now the plan is for everyone to work together to restrict the body of the Spirit King, and then I will think of a way to expel the evil god of the outer way."
Captain Yamamoto did not comment. His blood-red eyes were unusually calm. He simply said, "The fact that your will could be pulled to the Spirit King Palace means that you have recently begun to comprehend the mystery of purity. If so, don't you think that the purity of your words is too low?"
The monk's smile became more and more awkward. The million-year-old monster found himself lagging behind the version and hid aside to secretly comprehend the secrets of the new version of the expansion pack. It was really embarrassing to say this, but adhering to the principle that as long as he himself is not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed, the monk said:
"Let's put aside the question of whether the purity is low or not. In reality, we must not let that evil god of the outer way control the body of the Spirit King to fight. Every loss of the Spirit King's power means that the destruction of the three realms will be faster. In the end, even if we win, it will be completely meaningless..."
The reality is actually very obvious. The current Three Realms are still maintained with the power of the Spirit King as the core. Even if the Spirit King is defeated, the Three Realms will be lost. In the eyes of Monk Yan, this is a joke of putting the cart before the horse.
Captain Yamamoto remained silent and simply said:
“Perhaps the Spirit King and the order of the Three Realms that He carries should have left the stage of history long ago…”
Captain General Yamamoto had never felt the inappropriateness of the old era as deeply as he did now.
The Spirit King just stood up and walked out of the Spirit King Palace. All the living beings in the Three Realms could not help but tremble in fear, because the Three Realms were about to be destroyed. This kind of joke would be too bad even in hell!
Upon hearing this, Monk Yan immediately became anxious: "As for the current situation, I admit that the Three Realms Order does have some flaws, but as long as the Spirit King's body is returned, we still have time to consider how to improve it. However, if the Three Realms Order really withdraws from the stage of history now, we will be buried in it together."
Captain Yamamoto no longer intended to continue chatting with the monk. He simply stood up and used his remaining hand to adjust the captain's feather cape of the First Squadron that he was wearing. He found it a little inconvenient, and at this time, the deputy captain Chojiro Suzuki, who had been with him almost all the time for a thousand years, came up and helped Captain Yamamoto adjust his clothes.
After everything was sorted out, Captain Yamamoto and his deputy captain walked forward quietly, saying calmly without looking back:
"If everything is inevitable, then let us, the remnants of the old era, be buried on the eve of the new era. This way, at least we can still maintain our dignity and honor as the gods of death and leave something for the future..."
Many, many years ago, when Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was not yet called by this name, he was just Yamamoto Shigekuni. He opened the private school Genryusai to teach and educate people, impart skills, and just passed on some of his marks to future generations!
After experiencing two thousand years of bloody years, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni realized that he had never given up his original intention!
Captain General Yamamoto did not hurry on his way by using Flash Step, but just walked step by step on the road of Seireitei. The Shinigami and nobles along the way, as well as the civilians who entered Seireitei for refuge, saw his calm and deep eyes, seemed to understand something, and saluted him one after another.
"Oh, old man, this level of treason cannot be left to an old man like you alone. We young people are the real main force."
Kyoraku Shunsui, the direct disciple of Captain Yamamoto and the second-in-command of the Gotei 13, also appeared beside Captain Yamamoto, accompanying her and walking side by side.
"Teacher, you are old and weak, and we are young and strong. Please step back and wait for us to go up first!"
Next was Ukitake Jushiro, who also appeared, coughing up blood as he spoke.
Soon after, other captains, such as Kuchiki Byakuya, Kashiwamura, Unohana Retsu, Zaraki Kenpachi, Hitsugaya Toshiro, and many vice-captains and officers followed closely behind.
Captain Yamamoto, who was walking slowly, lowered his eyes slightly at this moment.
A thousand years ago, he was the same, walking into the Seireitei with his head held high, followed by the captain and vice-captains of the Gotei 13, announcing the arrival of the age of the god of death. Unexpectedly, a thousand years later, he would again walk out of the Seireitei with his head held high, accompanied by the captain and vice-captains of the Gotei 13!
The world seems to have never changed, it just goes around in circles and repeats itself over and over again!
Captain Yamamoto did not say anything, but just walked quietly, passing through the Jingling Garden Road that had been soaked by wind and frost for thousands of years, and finally walked out of Jingling Garden!
Although the endless tide of black hunks from Hell still kept pouring in, they were much less in number due to the crackdown. And at this moment, these black hunks from Hell also behaved out of character and did not charge forward desperately. They just stood there quietly, staring at Jing Ling Ting with their pure black pupils!
The world-destroying muscle flood stopped. This calmness was only because a bigger and more terrifying tsunami was devouring all the kinetic energy and was rolling in!
Captain Yamamoto and all the team members were waiting quietly. Not long after, the dark muscle flood suddenly split open, and countless muscular men lined up on both sides, welcoming a figure who was walking slowly and leisurely.
He has an ordinary appearance, a not-so-outstanding height, and no muscles, but when he appears in front of everyone, no one thinks that he is short and thin, because long before this thought arises, the sense of existence that is as high as the sky and as one with the earth has already filled everyone's senses.
Kyoraku Shunsui slightly pressed down his bamboo hat and said, "Oh my, although this is my first time meeting the Soul King, his heavenly appearance is so impressive that I can't help but kneel down and worship him."
What Kyoraku Shunsui said was not an illustration, because a kind of terrifying pressure was rolling in, as if the heaven and earth were scolding it, making people involuntarily want to kneel down, or even lie down, in order to relieve the maddening pressure.
"Except for Aizen and the others who have no interest in the profession of Death God from the bottom of their hearts, the existences that symbolize the glory of the profession of Death God and uphold this point are all standing in front of me. Very good, very spirited. The fighting spirit in your eyes is very strong, which makes me very satisfied. Then, without further ado, come on..."
After a pause, the Spirit King stretched out his right hand, pointed forward, slowly bent his fingers, leaving only his middle finger, and then frivolously hooked it:
"Use your fists and swords to tell me what the glory of the god of death is. Then use your will and faith to tell me what the new era in your heart should be like. If you can't do it, don't blame me for being merciless!!!"
The first to attack was the youngest captain, Hitsugaya Toushirou. He was only about eleven or twelve years old, and under the pressure of the terrifying might that destroyed the world, he was indeed a little impatient. Or perhaps, as the youngest captain, he knew that he lacked experience and combat power, so he took the lead and gave the other captains a chance to collect intelligence:
"Bankai, sit upright in the frost sky, Daiganlian Hyorinmaru..."
The lotus condensed from frost blossomed, and the vigorous ice dragon slowly condensed and danced gracefully. Its momentum was so awe-inspiring that even the celestial phenomena changed, and snow and wind suddenly came!
Mo Yu raised his head and looked at the snowflakes slowly falling from the sky, his eyes slightly intoxicated.
The extraordinary snowstorm formed by the power of individuals has its own beauty.
Snowflakes fell on it and formed frost in the blink of an eye.
"Burial of Ice Sky and Hundred Flowers!"
Hitsugaya Toshiro did not hold back and started with his ultimate move.
The Zanpakutō in his hand, named Hyorinmaru, is known as the strongest ice-type Zanpakutō in Soul Society. Its real power lies not in the ice element, but in its manipulation of celestial phenomena, as can be seen from its ultimate move, Ice Sky Hundred Flower Burial.
The move of Ice Sky Hundred Flower Burial uses the power of Bankai to merge with the celestial phenomena. The snowflakes falling from the sky are its descending blades. Its coverage and killing power are self-evident. If it uses its full power, that terrifying wind and frost blade may be able to freeze Soul Society, or irreversibly change the environment and climate of Soul Society and even the Three Realms.
Of course, if one really wants to achieve this, the key is no longer the Zanpakuto. It also requires the genius boy Hitsugaya Toshiro to grow to the level of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, and to develop the skills that have been honed over two thousand years to rival this demon king.
