Shared talent: Please, countless versions of me!

"Is that hard to believe?" Ichigo said with a calm smile, "I only trained step by step for a few days."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ichigo's spiritual pressure erupted, striking Grimmjow's chest with pinpoint accuracy.

If Ichigo's previous act of blasting Grimmjow away was entirely unintentional, then this time, it was purely intentional.

With this blow, Grimmjow's chest caved in instantly, as if he had been hit head-on by a train, and he flew through the air in an elegant arc.

When Grimmjow got up from the ground again, he was coughing up blood and his body was covered with dense cracks, like a piece of porcelain that was about to shatter at any moment.

Grimmjow gritted his teeth as he looked at Ichigo, whose face remained impassive.

"You little bastard! I'm going to kill you! I'll definitely kill you!"

boom!

Grimmjow's spiritual pressure erupted, and ten sharp blue beams of light extended from his ten fingers, instantly becoming more than ten meters long.

"This is my strongest attack! As a Hollow King Arrancar, this move is even more powerful than Hollow King Cero! By the way, you still don't know what Hollow King Cero is, do you? Never mind, you wouldn't understand even if I told you. Anyway, if you're so capable, then try to take this attack of mine again!"

"Leopard King's Claw!"

Ten blue claw marks formed an impenetrable net, sealing off the entire world.

Its sharpness was so great that even the space around it was beginning to crack, revealing a pitch-black cavity.

Faced with the Leopard King's claws, Ichigo had nowhere to escape, and of course, he didn't seem to have any intention of running away.

As the Leopard King's claws approached, under the expectant gazes of everyone, Ichigo slowly raised his hand, blocking the blue claw marks.

"Arrogant fool! You will pay the price for your arrogance!" Grimmjow roared excitedly!

But the next moment, his smile froze on his face, his eyes widened, and he murmured in a daze, "How is this possible!"

With a single hand, Ichigo blocked Grimmjow's attack, and with a squeeze, the vast net shattered into blue specks of light.

Not only did they not tear Ichigo to pieces, they didn't even stir up the slightest storm.

Looking at the dejected Grimmjow, Ichigo said boredly, "In the end, he's only sixth, not even worthy of my attention."

As he spoke, the boy shook his head slightly with a look of disappointment, turned around, and pointed his sword at Aizen!

"Aizen! Let's settle this once and for all!"

~

Ichigo's wish was never fulfilled, and Aizen turned and left, as if he had made up his mind about something.

Ichigo wanted to chase after Aizen, but Zhang Shan pulled him back. Under Ichigo's murderous gaze, Zhang Shan said, "Don't cause trouble for Aizen. What he's doing won't harm Soul Society."

"Who cares about the Soul Society! I just want to slash him!" Ichigo panicked and forcefully broke free from Zhang Shan's grasp. When he tried to chase after Aizen, he couldn't even see the other man.

This made Ichigo so angry he wanted to grind his teeth!

Zhang Shan was also a little embarrassed; he had never expected Ichigo to say that.

But thinking about it carefully, this answer is also very Ichigo-like.

His only connection to Soul Society is Rukia, and Rukia was almost killed by Aizen, so it's quite reasonable for Ichigo to want to stab Aizen.

Ichigo's wish was fulfilled the very next day!

"Aizen!!"

A loud electric sound rang out, and Ichigo, wearing a bull's head mask, suddenly jumped out. A black torrent of spiritual energy swept through the corridor. Before Aizen could even speak, he was swallowed up by the black torrent and disappeared without a trace.

Ichigo removed his mask and looked at the purple Hōgyoku floating in the air.

A moment later, white matter formed around the Hogyoku, and after a few minutes, Aizen's figure reappeared in front of Ichigo.

At the same time, Aizen's spiritual pressure was also rising rapidly.

What surprised Aizen the most was that he could finally sense Ichigo's spiritual pressure!

If he had sensed Ichigo's spiritual pressure beforehand, he wouldn't have been ambushed.

At this moment, Ichigo spoke up: "Let's call it even. Don't you dare scheme against me again!"

"Heh, what an arrogant tone, Kurosaki Ichigo." Aizen laughed cryptically.

Just as Ichigo was on guard, Zhang Shan's voice came from between the two, laughing and saying, "Gentlemen, are you done fighting?"

Seeing that it was Zhang Shan, Aizen's spiritual pressure subsided, and he said calmly, "Kurosaki Ichigo, let's have a proper fight next time. Next time, I won't let you sneak up on me."

After saying that, Aizen left in a very pretentious manner.

Ichigo and Zhang Shan were left looking at each other, wondering what Aizen was up to this time.

"Never mind him, let's go! Szayelaporro has researched a new game, let's go have some fun!"

Ichigo's eyes lit up immediately, and he laughed, "Let's go! This time we'll fight until dawn!"

The two went off to play games arm in arm, while Aizen was far from relaxed. He went back and began to carefully study his spiritual pressure, Zanpakuto, and the Hollow power within him. Only after observing that the two had been perfectly fused with the Hogyoku did Aizen finally smile.

"Ichigo Kurosaki, you really are my most successful experiment! Hahahaha!"

Meanwhile, Zhang Shan and his companion also arrived in Szayelaporro's territory.

In the e-sports room specially built for Zhang Shan, the two happily played games, with Szayelaporro standing humbly behind Zhang Shan, fawning over him as his assistant.

After Zhang Shan had finished playing, Szayelaporro spoke up with a humble expression, "Um, boss, I've hit a roadblock in my research lately. Could you give me some inspiration?"

"Huh?" Zhang Shan looked at Szayelaporro in surprise: "Have you hit another bottleneck? Where did you encounter difficulties this time?"

Szayelaporro smiled shyly and said, "That's right, didn't we say before that we were going to forge the souls of Shinigami into Hollow Zanpakuto? Using the Hogyoku, we were halfway there, but now there's a new problem! A very serious problem!"

"Tell me."

"Ahem..." Szayelaporro glanced at Ichigo, looking quite conflicted.

Seeing Szayelaporro's embarrassment, Zhang Shan laughed and said, "Speak freely and without reservation!"

Ichigo also looked at Szayelaporro with curiosity. He had been here for a while, but this was the first time he had seen this Espada. Before, when he came here, the other party was always in the laboratory.

“Alright, then I’ll get straight to the point!” Szayelaporro said, “I’ve discovered that our previous assumptions were all wrong. The souls of Shinigami cannot be forged into Zanpakuto. Compared to Hollows, the souls of Shinigami are somewhat fragile…”

Chapter 174 Marching into the Soul Society

Hearing this, Zhang Shan frowned and asked, "Is it that it can't be fused together, or that it can't be forged into a blade?"

"It cannot be forged into a knife."

"..."

"Fuck off!"

After leaving Szayelaporro's place, Ichigo followed behind Zhang Shan and asked curiously, "Brother, are you guys researching the souls of Shinigami?"

"Ah."

"Are you going to capture Death for experiments?"

"How could that be! How could we possibly lay a hand on a Shinigami!" Zhang Shan hurriedly said, "We only capture those souls with little fighting ability in Rukongai. Even if these people die, the Seireitei won't care and can do whatever they want with them!"

After that day, Ichigo became somewhat silent. When Aizen convened another general meeting, Ichigo brought Orihime and Chad to the meeting.

Upon seeing Ichigo and the others, Aizen did not send them away. Instead, he went straight to the point: "Tomorrow I will open a passage to the Soul Society. Espada, help me stop the Gotei 13 and don't let them interfere with my battle with the Zero Division."

"OK, no problem." Zhang Shan made a gesture, then turned to Ichigo and said, "Kenpachi is yours now!"

"Huh? Me?" Ichigo pointed at himself, and after a brief moment of confusion, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll hold that guy off."

Although Kenpachi is quite strong, Ichigo now believes that he is definitely no match for him.

After the meeting ended, Zhang Shan quickly called all the Ten Blades back to continue the meeting.

"Leave the captain to me, the rest to you ten. Remember, your own safety comes first. We just need to stall for time. Also, the Grim Reaper's abilities are incredibly varied, so be careful. It's best to choose someone of similar strength to fight."

"I'll choose my opponent first!" Grimmjow raised his hand without hesitation.

“Alright, you guys choose your opponents first. Remember, act within your capabilities.” Zhang Shan warned, “We’re just cooperating with Aizen after all; there’s no need to risk our lives.”

Zhang Shan will continue to develop in Hueco Mundo, so he will naturally not allow the combat power of Hueco Mundo to decline significantly. He will do his best to save the Espada who need to be saved.

"After this is over, we will vigorously develop Hueco Mundo's civilization and can no longer be as barbaric as before."

However, to resolve this issue, the problem of the Void's power advancement must be addressed. Once this problem is solved, the Void will no longer need to fight each other, and they will definitely be able to complete the evolution of civilization in a short period of time, officially entering the feudal era.

The night passed quickly.

The next day, all of Hueco Mundo's top combat forces gathered, which consisted of Aizen and his two companions, Zhang Shan's Espada, and Ichigo and a few others.

There were less than twenty people in total.

Zhang Shan didn't let the Ten Blades bring their lieutenants. Those weak Hollows who went there would basically be easy targets, easily killed by some area-of-effect attack or the aftershocks of the battle.

In the laboratory, Aizen tore through space, and on the other side of that space, the desolate Soul Society came into view.

All the captains of the Gotei 13 were present, standing in the air, waiting for Aizen's arrival.

It's worth mentioning that this time, not only the members of the Gotei 13 were present, but also Hirako and others from the Visoreds, as well as Kisuke Urazane, Yoruichi, and Isshin Kurosaki.

Seeing this, Aizen's expression remained unchanged, and he said to Zhang Shan, "These people are yours to handle."

brush!

Aizen and the other two turned into black shadows and disappeared.

"Don't even think about leaving!"

Seeing that Aizen had completely ignored them, the old man on the opposite side was furious. He removed the disguise from his cane, which turned into a katana with a purple hilt.

As the katana was drawn, scorching flames erupted, transforming into a fiery prison that enveloped Aizen and the others!

"Old man, don't ignore us!" Zhang Shan stretched out his finger, and a blazing white light gathered at his fingertip: "Cero!"

boom!

The white Cero collided with the Captain-Commander's flames, unleashing a terrifying shockwave.

Aizen didn't even glance at them, and led Gin and Tosen Kaname straight towards Seireitei.

He originally planned to go to Karakura Town to forge the King Key, strengthen his body with the King Key, and then attack the Spirit King Palace.

But after evolving once, Aizen realized that his plan was not going to work.

If he insists on destroying Karakura Town, or any city in the present world, Ichigo Kurosaki will definitely not stand idly by.
