Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 257 Aizen's Descent!

thump—

Aizen's body crashed heavily to the ground, the black wings on his back breaking off inch by inch, the scale-like patterns fading rapidly, and the eerie light in his vertical pupils dimming at a visible speed.

Kisuke Urahara, Yoruichi, and Ichigo Kurosaki all looked as if they were in a dream—one slash? Aizen Sousuke, who had exhausted Captain-Commander Yamamoto and defeated all the Shinigami, was actually killed by a single slash from Kaneki?

Has Guan Yi become the new Spirit King?!
If Aizen's power was only one dimension beyond theirs, then at this moment, Guan Yi's power could be described as being in a dimension beyond their comprehension.

How could such a thing happen?
Is that all?
No, that's not right, it seems not yet.

Boom—After a moment when time and space seemed to freeze, Aizen's body, which was lying on the ground, suddenly convulsed violently, and the Hogyoku within him burst forth with a dazzling blue-purple light.

The eerie light surged wildly into Aizen's limbs and bones, his wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, his broken wings regrew, even larger than before, the scale-like patterns became deeper, and the eerie light in his pupils became several times stronger than before!
"Is that so? You've already attained a Spirit King-like status? But it's not over yet, Guan Yi-jun. With your help, I will evolve towards an even higher peak!" As Aizen's deep voice rang out, the figure lying on the ground had already become an illusion.

His speed was several times faster than before, appearing behind Guan Yi as if traversing space, his Zanpakuto carrying a spiritual pressure capable of shattering half of Seireitei, pressing down on the back of Guan Yi's head.

Guan Yi didn't even turn his head, and swung his knife backward.

click-

As the two swords clashed, a dark rift opened up in space once more. The spiritual pressure of both sides was precisely controlled by Guan Yi to cancel each other out, and not a single impact was released to the side.

A terrifying power surged, and Aizen felt his wrist go limp, his sword being swung in another direction.

Guan Yi then leaped up, his Zanpakuto transforming into a streak of rainbow light, suddenly piercing Aizen's heart and penetrating the wings on his back, pinning Aizen heavily to the ground!

thump—

The heavy voice resonated in the hearts of Urahara Kisuke and his companions: A second time, a swift defeat?!
If the first time could be attributed to carelessness or an accident, the second time it was an undeniable fact.

Guan Yi is far stronger than Aizen is now!

This is the result that should be expected.

Aizen, who has evolved four times, is indeed very strong, perhaps second only to Ichibei Hyosube. But as Guan Yi predicted, unless he evolves ten or eight more times, Aizen will not be able to threaten him now.

How could an evolution that could be defeated by 'Moonless' possibly compare to Guan Yi, who has obtained the power of the Spirit King?
Guan Yi was concerned about Aizen's strategy, so he had little intention of showing mercy when facing Aizen. The Zanpakuto that was inserted into Aizen's heart unleashed a powerful annihilation force, directly striking the Hōgyoku, intending to shatter it!

At the same instant, something completely unexpected came out of Aizen's mouth.

"Please stop, Guan Yijun, I surrender."

"...?"

……

……

In the present world, at a certain outpost.

Ye Huohuo was stunned for a moment when she saw the special training class students who suddenly arrived, carrying large and small bags. Then she realized what was happening.

"Guan Yi rescued you? What are these things on you...?"

"Haha, Huo Huo, long time no see!"

"These are treasures from the Spirit King Palace, a gift from our godfather. Once the secret realm is conquered, these might be able to be exchanged for secret runes!"

"You're so unscrupulous, Huo Huo. You've been by your godfather's side all this time, you must have known he's the owner of the Golden Rune long ago, but you didn't utter a single word when you met him last time." Xie Chen hooked his arm around Ye Huo Huo's shoulder and handed him a shallow sword.

"Although I know you must have plenty of opportunities with your godfather by your side, buddy, you take this knife, I can't carry it anymore, hahaha."

Ye Huohuo took the knife with a stunned expression, somewhat puzzled as to when her relationship with Xie Chen had become so close—although they had been classmates for five years in the special training class, they hadn't seen each other for the three years of this second round of the campaign. Even before that, they were just nodding acquaintances once a week, and there was this "godfather" these people were talking about…it must be Guan Yi, right?
"Uh...I...this..."

"Take it, why are you being so polite! Huo Huo, do you have any food here? I haven't eaten all day." Xie Chen laughed, "It would be best if you had some wine, let's all have another drink together."

Seeing this, Guo Yan asked in surprise, "Again? You two drank together before?"

"Yes, about a year ago." Xie Chen nodded and said, "We bumped into each other in Mingmu City. Huo Huo treated me to a meal, and we got along quite well. Before, I always felt that Huo Huo was a bit strange in class."

Guo Yan looked at Ye Huohuo. Both of them were Guan Yi's assistants and were the closest to each other. She hadn't heard Ye Huohuo mention this before.

Ye Huohuo was also somewhat confused and said, "A year ago? Me?? Invited you to dinner???"

"Huh? You forgot?" Xie Chen said somewhat displeased, "At first, I was worried that our chance encounter wasn't so simple, that you were a hidden demon. We exchanged a lot of information about Mist Star before clearing up the misunderstanding, and then we had a meal and drinks together..."

"Are you sure you're not mistaken?" Ye Huohuo interrupted, "I don't remember doing that. I didn't go to Mingmu City a year ago either!"

"...?" Xie Chen stared blankly at Ye Huohuo: "You... don't joke like that."

"What's wrong?" The others noticed the increasingly strange atmosphere between the two and found it odd, while those who overheard their conversation were even more puzzled.

Xie Chen couldn't possibly be so foolish as to forget who he ate with, could he? But Ye Huohuo shouldn't deny having eaten with Xie Chen either, right?

How is this going?

"Not you?" Suddenly, a chill ran down Xie Chen's spine: "Then who was that guy I was eating with...?!"

Guo Yan immediately realized the seriousness of the situation and asked urgently, "What did you all talk about?"

Xie Chen paused for a moment, then hissed and said, "Damn, is that even possible? We've talked about everything, things we should and shouldn't have. Secret realms, strategies, the Grim Reaper, the Hollows, even some old strategy stuff..."

If it's not Ye Huohuo, then who is it?
Who's trying to trick me into revealing information?!
A suspicion slowly formed in Xie Chen's mind. A year ago, at that time, he had just joined a certain man's ranks with the Great King... Could it be?!
……

Surrender? Aizen, he actually surrendered?
Urahara Kisuke didn't believe it.

Guan Yi couldn't believe it either.

A subtle sense of unease and a faint premonition of something strange welled up in Guan Yi's heart. He looked at Aizen, who was pinned to the ground by him, and saw that the ruthlessness on Aizen's face that had shown when he was about to fight him was now an illusion. Once again, he showed that look of complete control.

"I did lose to you. Although I didn't think I could quickly gain power to surpass yours from the moment you killed Yhwach, I didn't expect to lose so badly. Fortunately, this power is at least enough to keep me alive in front of you until I surrender."

"I lost, Guan Yijun, I surrender."

"Please believe me, this is a sincere and genuine surrender. From this moment on, I, Aizen, and the forces of Hueco Mundo are all subordinates of Kan'i-kun. You can order us around as you please."

"I have wiped out the Seireitei, and you have eliminated the Quincy and the Zero Division. Now... all forces in the three realms will either be destroyed or submit to you. No one can stop Guan Yi from becoming the new king of the three realms."

Congratulations to Guan Yijun on ascending the throne of heaven.

The moment Aizen finished speaking, a strange power suddenly enveloped Guan Yi!
This power was very familiar, and this feeling was also familiar. A sense of rejection from the will of the secret realm was driving Guan Yi away from the mysterious realm of death.

Because at the moment Aizen surrendered, Guan Yi achieved the conditions for conquering the Shinigami Realm!

A hint of surprise appeared on Guan Yi's face. He shook his head in realization and said, "You're really something, Aizen."

Aizen smiled slightly.

"Congratulations, Guan Yijun, the strategy is complete."
