Infinite: Start as a ghost

Immediately afterward, the metal cube came into contact with Aizen's body.

Dozens of ghostly cubes exploded instantly.

Chapter 202 Aizen's Final Form

Dozens of powerful Dao-breaking techniques of grade 90 or above exploded simultaneously, causing plumes of smoke and dust.

Before the smoke and dust could clear, Gin Ichimaru delivered the final attack.

"Butoh Blades!"

As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, Aizen's body was found to be torn to pieces.

"Aaaaaah—" Aizen roared in agony, "You...you wretched ants!!"

This is the third time he has been injured since Ichigo Kurosaki's unexpected slash, and each time it was unexpected.

The injury wasn't the main reason for his anger; what he couldn't accept was the unexpected event.

Even the most powerful Hogyoku has a limit, which is the ability to fulfill a person's wishes within the scope of their own desires.

In other words, Aizen's number of times he can recover is also limited, and that limit is before the energy contained in him and the Hogyoku is exhausted.

This attack consumed at least one-fourth to one-fifth of the Hōgyoku's spiritual power.

In other words, if he is attacked to this extent four or five more times, he will lose his self-healing ability.

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than Jiang Jiu's attack arrived.

"cut!"

His already crumbling body was subjected to Jiang Jiu's strongest attack once again, causing it to collapse completely.

However, this is not the end.

Kisuke Urahara didn't think that this would completely eliminate Aizen.

"Bankai o Kannon Kai Benihime Modified..."

A huge woman appeared behind him.

The woman was enormous, with long hair adorned with a classic hairpin, wearing a sleeveless kimono, and possessing puppet-like limbs.

"Seal him off, Hong Ji."

"Damn it—" Aizen roared, his rare outburst of rage causing him to erupt in anger several times in a short period of time.

His broken limbs and torso were bound by several strands of spiritual energy needles, writhing incessantly within a limited area.

"Break free! Break free from me!"

Suddenly, a tripod grew out of Aizen's body, "forking" his body up.

"This is...this is?" Aizen exclaimed in surprise.

"Binding Spell: Ninety-Six Capital Fire Sealing and Annihilation," Urahara Kisuke smiled faintly, "So it's finally activated?"

"This is a sealing-style ghost technique that I developed specifically for you. It will only be activated when your body suffers a certain degree of injury."

Jiang Jiu had a bad feeling. His eyes were burning, and he was about to take some action when a sudden change occurred.

The ghost tripod suddenly collapsed.

"What?" Kisuke Urahara was shocked; this was his last resort.

Aizen's body instantly regenerated: "Hahaha, hahahaha."

"It's evolved, it's going to evolve again!" Aizen laughed maniacally: "Thanks to you all, you've made the Hogyoku feel intense danger time and time again, forcing it to continuously evolve."

As he spoke, Aizen's skin degenerated, his entire body turned pitch black, and a pair of black fleshy wings grew from his back.

If Uruchiora's wings are the wings of a demon, then his wings are the wings of an angel.

"Look at my wings." Aizen spread his arms and said with a lofty posture, "These wings are no different from those of the angels that humans speak of."

"This means that fate is on my side, and you are destined to fail."

As he spoke, Aizen's Zanpakuto shattered little by little on its own, turning into ashes.

"Oh?" Aizen watched this scene unfold quietly. "It seems the Hogyoku has made its judgment and believes I no longer need a Zanpakuto."

Jiang Jiu was also shocked to see this scene, a form that had never appeared in anime.

Aizen's evolution to this point was something no one had anticipated, and Jiang Jiu had no idea how things would unfold.

"Never mind, let's fight!" Jiang Jiu roared and was the first to rush forward.

He is immortal and has nothing to fear.

The other three nodded and rushed forward with Jiang Jiu.

The metal cubes are all used up, and sealing the ghost path is ineffective. Now, there is no other way but to force it.

"Instant Thunder Beast Battle Form: Instant Black Cat Battle Princess..."

Yoruichi's form changed again; this was her last resort.

"Thunder King Fist..."

Gin Ichimaru was the weakest of the group and had no other more effective methods, so he resorted to his old tricks.

"Butoh Blade..."

Urahara Kisuke controlled his swastika.

"Red Princess o Red Touch..."

"Beginning with breath, ending with form, the sun, moon, earth..."

Faced with multiple attacks, Aizen remained unmoved, letting them fall on him.

"Damn it!" Gin Ichimaru sheathed his Zanpakuto: "I didn't feel any impact."

Kisuke Urahara's face darkened: "This is troublesome..."

Yoruichi lost her own consciousness after transforming into human form, relying entirely on instinct.

After her attack, she landed gently to the side, her fur bristling, posing in a dangerous manner.

"Meow—" she let out a high-pitched scream, instinctively feeling that the enemy in front of her posed a great threat.

Jiang Jiu also retreated immediately upon contact, landing in the distance.

"They didn't feel the hit? I certainly did."

"You really are a special existence." Aizen said nonchalantly after being attacked: "You're quite good, and that little wildcat is quite good too."

"The other two are unbearable to look at."

“I used to consider you my most dangerous enemy. I was wrong, Kisuke Urahara.”

Chapter 203 The Heroes Appear

“This is…” Kisuke Urahara ignored Aizen’s sarcasm: “Our spiritual pressure seems to be on different dimensions.”

“Reiatsu is also divided into levels,” Aizen said. “Your reiatsu has reached the peak of the first stage.”

"But for someone like me who has reached the pinnacle of the second stage, it means nothing!"

"One more step, just one more breakthrough, and I will reach the third stage."

"That is... the height at which the Spirit King is located."

“And you.” Aizen pointed at Jiang Jiu, then looked at Yoruichi in her spirit cat form: “You and I are quite good, barely making it to the threshold of the second stage.”

"However, the initial stage of the second phase is worlds apart from my current level, just like the difference between an ordinary squad member and a captain."

"To give an example, the initial stage of the second phase is like a squad member."

"Then the intermediate stage of the second phase is the position of the Seat Official."

"By the same token, the higher-ranking ones are vice-captains, while those of me who stand at the top of the second stage are captains."

As he spoke, he turned his gaze back to Kisuke Urahara and Gin Ichimaru: "You trash who can't even break through the first stage are no different from ordinary ghosts to me."

Kisuke Urahara sheathed his sword: "Don't say that. We've worked really hard to get this far."

Aizen said, "And this stage will be a barrier that you will never be able to break through in your entire lives."

"Yamamoto is also in the second stage. The reason he was able to break through the Shinigami barrier is because he was once swallowed by the oldest Hollow, the Hollow Eater."

"He also obtained the power of the void."

"Is this all the research you've come up with?" Jiang Jiu laughed. "Isn't it all just your guesswork?"

"Hehe, a guess?" Aizen laughed. "It is a guess, that's right. The ancient books in the Great Spirit Book Corridor do not record this. I can only speculate from the details."

"Logically speaking, Yamamoto's strength must be due to the power of the Hollow, but we have never seen it."

"It seems that all the Void Power within him was used up in breaking through the Death God Barrier."

"That's why he can't detect the power of the void within his body."

"His ultimate goal can only reach the level I have."

"However, he is old, and his strength has declined rather than improved. He can no longer reach my current level."

"Hmph, how dare a mere traitor spout such nonsense." Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni appeared before the crowd.

"Captain-Commander, you..." Kisuke Urahara exclaimed in surprise, then realized, "They're back?"

At this moment, Kenpachi Zaraki, Byakuya Kuchiki, and Mayuri Kurotsuchi appeared before Aizen.

"Oh?" Aizen remained expressionless. "Is everyone here? Where's Captain Unohana?"

"This woman should be one of your strongest fighters, so why hasn't she appeared?"

"Oh, so you're planning to use her as a trump card in a protracted war?"

"A wise choice."

Yamamoto glanced at Gin Ichimaru: "You betrayed Soul Society, but considering that you had a reason for your actions and no one was killed, I will allow you to return to your position as captain of the Third Division after this battle."

Then he glanced at Jiang Jiu again: "Young man, no matter who you are or what your reasons are, thank you for this battle."
