Now...
Witnessing Aizen's evil deeds, Hitsugaya Tōshirō erupted in fury and didn't hesitate to unleash his strongest state.
"Bankai!"
"Daiguren Hyōrinmaru!"
WHOOSH!
Tremendous spiritual pressure suddenly exploded from Tōshirō's body!
Countless azure icicles burst forth and cascaded from above.
Bone-chilling ice mist swept in all directions!
In the blink of an eye, the palace floor and walls became completely covered in pristine thin ice.
Now!
Tōshirō glared at Aizen with a dark expression, filled with hatred.
"Aizen, I'm going to kill you!"
Aizen simply smiled more pleasantly at this moment, golden statements flowing freely:
"I advise you not to make empty threats when speaking—in that case, it will only make you appear very weak."
A simple sentence left Hitsugaya Tōshirō speechless.
Tōshirō simply stopped talking, ready to replace words with battle!
However, even facing such an assault, Aizen's expression remained perfectly calm.
Crack-crack-crack...
Aizen was quickly frozen solid by Tōshirō, becoming an ice sculpture!
Of course, Aizen's form seemed to drift away like wind, disappearing directly and switching positions with Tōshirō.
"What a beautiful vista—perfect timing to appreciate the ice."
CRACK!
While Tōshirō stood shocked, the ice he created instantly shattered!
Simultaneously, blood erupted from his body, flowing wildly!
SLASH!
The expression on Tōshirō's face froze, as if he'd become an ice sculpture himself.
Aizen's words still echoed in his heart.
Tōshirō's full-power strike was merely scenery to him?
Brief, but soul-crushing!
THUD!
Just like that...
Tōshirō fell unwillingly into a pool of blood.
Ice flowers withered rapidly.
His vitality gradually melted away like ice.
His eyes filled with utter powerlessness, and his once-brilliant gaze began dimming continuously.
Against Aizen, he seemed to lack any will to continue fighting!
At this moment, barrage comments floated past:
'Who would've thought the most talkative person was a villain?'
'Can't win in combat, can't win in conversation—truly hopeless.'
'Aizen really breaks people mentally.'
'Even Captain Yamamoto can't handle Aizen's Kyōka Suigetsu, right?'
'All of Aizen's subordinates wear sunglasses and squint—otherwise they wouldn't be his followers.'
'I've never seen such a show-off villain!'
'Shiro-chan, learn something!'
'At this point, Aizen has earned the right to show off without getting face-slapped.'
'This wave of showing off—I'm convinced!'
Though many Shinigami knew this scene, witnessing it firsthand was different.
They could only remain silent about this.
After all, whenever Aizen appeared, they basically got face-slapped.
It was quite unpleasant to contemplate...
In the chat group:
[Tōsen Kaname]: As expected, before our Aizen, so-called captains prove vulnerable.
[Ichimaru Gin]: Don't be too shocked—it's simply that our Captain Aizen is too powerful. Any other captain would fare no better.
[Ulquiorra Cifer]: It's your honor to have our Lord Aizen act personally.
[Tier Harribel]: The strongest ice-type Zanpakutō—that's all it amounts to.
[Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez]: Everything in Soul Society lies under our Lord Aizen's control!
Soon, the next footage of Hitsugaya Tōshirō began appearing.
Hitsugaya Tōshirō, alongside Ikkaku Madarame, Yumichika Ayasegawa, and Matsumoto Rangiku, battled against Espada No. 10 Yammy and No. 6 Luppi.
At this time, Luppi's strength remained quite formidable, quickly suppressing Hitsugaya Tōshirō and the others.
Hitsugaya Tōshirō hurriedly engaged the enemy.
"Daiguren Hyōrinmaru!"
A frigid chill swept forth!
The cold and killing intent felt tangible!
Soul-piercing!
Espada No. 6, having just replaced Grimmjow's position, considered himself remarkable.
"Hehe, I'll handle them all myself."
"Strangle, Trepadora!"
ROAR!
Luppi activated his Resurrección state.
Eight tentacles appeared behind his back, beginning their coordinated assault on Hitsugaya Tōshirō.
BANG!
This lightning-fast attack sent Hitsugaya Tōshirō retreating dozens of meters, smashing into the ground.
Ikkaku Madarame and the others proved no match for Luppi, soon finding themselves in desperate straits.
Matsumoto Rangiku also fell under Luppi's assault, her life hanging in the balance!
In Hueco Mundo...
Grimmjow's face darkened like storm clouds as he glared coldly at Luppi.
This guy became the new Espada No. 6 after Tōsen severed his arm.
But since Grimmjow couldn't defeat Luppi at this time, there was nothing he could do.
Ichimaru Gin, meanwhile, inadvertently observed Luppi with snake-like eyes.
Luppi, this detestable creature, dared attack Matsumoto?
If he truly harms Matsumoto Rangiku, I must settle accounts with him!
And Aizen lightly praised Luppi:
"Well done, Luppi!"
Luppi responded triumphantly:
"Serving Lord Aizen is my greatest honor."
However, in the subsequent scene, Urahara Kisuke intervened just in time to rescue Matsumoto Rangiku.
Only to be quickly entangled by Yammy and Wonderweiss again.
Luppi prepared to continue attacking Matsumoto Rangiku.
But at this moment, several extremely cold icicles appeared instantly, blocking this move.
Hitsugaya Tōshirō hadn't completely lost combat effectiveness—he was preparing a trap to defeat Luppi in one decisive blow!
He utilized all moisture in the air to create a thousand-year ice prison that instantly imprisoned Luppi.
RUMBLE!
Dozens of icicles immediately contracted and surrounded Luppi, freezing him solid!
"Sennen Hyōrō!"
Luppi's tentacles snapped directly, and he began falling, unable to continue fighting.
At this moment, Hitsugaya Tōshirō could barely salvage some dignity for himself.
In the chat group:
[Matsumoto Rangiku]: Ah, so dangerous—I nearly had an accident. Fortunately, Urahara Kisuke and the captain intervened.
[Urahara Kisuke]: Oh, I didn't expect to see myself helping you.
[Hitsugaya Tōshirō]: However, though this Espada No. 6 isn't weak, he's not particularly strong either—doesn't seem stronger than the previous No. 6.
[Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez]: Well, naturally—he's just a pretender.
[Kuchiki Byakuya]: If you Espada only possess this level of strength, then you're truly not worth mentioning!
[Ulquiorra Cifer]: Wait—sooner or later you'll discover how formidable we are!
[Luppi Antenor]: Damn, I was actually ambushed by you—otherwise, how could you have hit me? Besides, it's normal for me to beat so many Shinigami captains and lieutenants. Shame on you ganging up!
[Yammy Llargo]: Luppi, you can't be careless anymore—otherwise you'll disgrace our Lord Aizen!
[Urahara Kisuke]: These few Arrancar are indeed formidable—quite interesting. We must analyze these videos carefully and gather intelligence on these Arrancar.
Compared to the distant Wandenreich Quincy, Aizen's Arrancar remained a more immediate crisis.
Soul Society took this seriously, actively gathering intelligence.
[Hirako Shinji]: Speaking of which, the No. 77 Arrancar Wonderweiss mentioned earlier—why doesn't he seem powerful here?
[Urahara Kisuke]: Indeed, he remained on the sidelines throughout, acting like a child with no apparent threat.
[Kurosaki Ichigo]: I wonder where I am at this time? Am I fighting some predetermined enemy again?
Kurosaki Ichigo felt worried, unable to foresee the future at all.
After all, the various battles shown previously basically involved him somehow!
Before everyone's discussion concluded, another new scene appeared.
It turned out to be a familiar setting—the Karakura Town or The Fake one created which only Senyu know for now.
At this moment, Espada No. 3 Harribel, witnessing her subordinates' failures, began moving seriously and released her Zanpakutō!
"Hunt, Tiburón!"
Massive waves like a giant clam immediately appeared and enveloped Harribel.
After the great waves receded, Harribel's appearance transformed dramatically.
Her mask became a bikini-style outfit, with mask armor covering her entire body and shark fin-like decorations on her back.
Her golden spiritual pressure also skyrocketed!
ROAR!
The No.3 Espada fully displayed her power at this moment!
The appearance of such a formidable opponent drew serious attention from both Soul Society and Hueco Mundo!
