"Come back."

"Cough...cough cough...I am you..." Kyoka Suigetsu looked at the hand that pierced his chest and grabbed Aizen's arm, saying, "I am you! My ambition, my personality, all come from you, so...you've rebelled, Aizen, it's not me who's arrogant, it's you."

"No, you're wrong, it's a mirage." Aizen withdrew his hand and said, "This isn't arrogance, it's confidence. These are words that can only stand on a foundation of sufficient power, and I possess that power."

Watching Kyoka Suigetsu completely disappear, Aizen smiled and looked in the direction Muramasa had left. With a slight movement of his hand, Kyoka Suigetsu materialized once again beside him: "Go, Kyoka Suigetsu, show me what he's thinking."

"Yes, Lord Aizen."

There has never been an invincible Zanpakuto. The fact that Kyoka Suigetsu would become an enemy was in Aizen's mind from the beginning, and he had already thought about how to deal with it.

The only thing that is truly invincible is man.

Only Aizen Sousuke—

And now this is also an opportunity; the illusory world can cooperate with him to put on a show...

This was an interesting disturbance, but in the end it was just a rebellion of Zanpakuto. It was only a matter of time before the Shinigami suppressed it. After all... if you don't even have the ability to make your Zanpakuto submit, what kind of Shinigami are you?

Mirror Flower Water Moon is very strong in terms of both ability and other aspects, but...

How could Aizen possibly give this Zanpakuto a chance to grow independently of him? He nipped that idea in the bud from the very beginning!

......

The night of the second day.

boom----

"Oh dear. Looks like it's starting..."

Aizen Sousuke looked in the direction of the Sixth Division, where two powerful spiritual pressures erupted. One was from the Sixth Division Captain, Kuchiki Ginrin, and the other was from the Zanpakuto he had secretly seen yesterday—Muramasa.

"It seems we have failed."

"What failed? Captain Aizen?" Gin Ichimaru asked, standing to the side.

"No, it's nothing..." Aizen smiled and looked at Gin Ichimaru, saying, "Can you still use a Zanpakuto?"

"Has Captain Aizen encountered the same problem?" Gin Ichimaru paused for a moment and said, "Recently, I feel that my Zanpakuto is not very flexible in its use. This is the case with Shikai, and practicing Bankai is even more of a problem."

The release of one's Zanpakuto is generally prohibited within the Seireitei.

However, this means there's no place to practice, so... the Zanpakuto can be released and used in the practice areas within each squad's barracks.

However, the members of the Fifth Division can only be liberated within the Fifth Division, and the members of the Sixth Division can only be liberated within the Sixth Division.

Previously, Gin Ichimaru had already experienced that disharmony when practicing his Zanpakuto abilities—

However, he didn't pay much attention to it before Aizen mentioned it. He had already felt it when he fought Mash. His Shikai was okay, but his Bankai was really just barely usable. Its power and accuracy did not reach the expected effect.

Therefore, he is now retraining his Shikai and Bankai.

He didn't want some half-baked ability; he wanted a technique that could threaten Aizen and kill him.

but...

No, even though his Zanpakuto is fast and poisoned, there's still one thing I can't be sure of—is the person standing in front of him really Aizen?

"Is that so..." Aizen looked in the direction of the Sixth Division and said, "Did you know? There is a Zanpakuto with the ability to materialize other people's Zanpakuto and then fight against its own master."

"Captain Aizen said these things..."

"We should really ask our captain about this, Captain Hirako."

"Alright, Gin, get ready now," Aizen said. "Prepare to fight your own Zanpakuto."

Gin Ichimaru's pupils contracted slightly. Could it be...? If his Zanpakuto becomes his enemy, will he reveal his hidden true abilities to Aizen?

"So, Captain Aizen isn't worried about Kyoka Suigetsu's betrayal..."

"Gin, remember this." Aizen didn't turn around: "The power of a Zanpakuto is only a part of the power of a Shinigami, not the whole. What I rely on is not Kyoka Suigetsu. So what if I rebelled? It's just a Zanpakuto."

"I understand, I understand. Captain Aizen is certainly full of confidence." Gin Ichimaru maintained his usual fox-like smile. "By the way, is Captain Aizen's injury healed?"

"Ah, all done." Aizen smiled and turned around: "Remember, Gin, a typical lieutenant will recover from such injuries in about a week after receiving treatment from the Fourth Division."

So that's how it is. So... 'the ordinary vice-captain Aizen Sousuke' recovered from his injuries after a week...?

The same thing happened before.

Although some people in the Seireitei knew that Aizen's strength was not limited to what they claimed, this knowledge was confined to Aizen's subordinates and individuals like Shinji Hirako...

Although, according to his observation, the captain of the 8th Division, Shunsui Kyoraku, and the vice-captain of the 11th Division, Kazuya Ryougi, also seemed to have some doubts.

However, they did not truly realize the danger posed by Aizen.

what a pity.

“Well then, I’ll be leaving for a bit, Gin.” Aizen Sousuke turned around, a black Hell Butterfly in his hand. “The Captain-Commander has given the order for all captains and vice-captains of the Gotei 13 to assemble at the First Division. I need to inform Captain Hirako.”

"Understood, Captain Aizen."

Chapter 1049 State of Alert

"Impossible—how did that guy know I was coming?"

Muramasa, clutching his right shoulder, rushed out of the Sixth Division barracks.

That was the wound left on his body by the rotten wood silver bell.

"grandfather--"

"Go back, Byakuya." Kuchiki Ginrin brandished her Zanpakuto, splattering blood on the ground as she looked at Muramasa and said, "How pathetic. What are you doing back in Soul Society now? Is it to liberate your master?"

“Master? Ha…” Muramasa released his grip and said, “He was already killed by me long ago.”

"!!"

"I'm here for only one purpose: to show you Death Gods who truly reigns supreme!"

"Impossible!" Kuchiki Ginryu's hand trembled slightly: "The Shinigami is dead, how could his Zanpakuto still exist!"

“But the fact is I’m still here, just as you see.” Muramasa opened his arms. “What surprises me is you. Why… did you know I was coming?”

"..."

Kuchiki Ginryu narrowed his eyes slightly. This morning, while taking a walk in the Seireitei, he unintentionally encountered Aizen Sousuke, the vice-captain of the Fifth Division.

He seemed to be troubled by his Zanpakuto.

The Zanpakuto is not obeying my commands—

Therefore, he was almost defeated during training with the third seat of his own squad.

At that time, he wondered if Kuchiki Hibiki had broken free of the seal, so he secretly became on guard.

result--

Although it differed from what I expected, it wasn't by much.

“It’s over. If it were Hibiki, even I wouldn’t be a match for him.” Kuchiki Ginrei said to Muramasa, “But you’re just a Zanpakuto now. If that’s all it takes, you won’t even be able to leave the Sixth Division’s barracks.”

That being said, Kuchiki Ginrei knew just how difficult this matter was.

He has already sent his adjutant to inform the commander-in-chief.

If it were just him, the first thing he needed to do to prevent his Zanpakuto from materializing and becoming his enemy was to keep Muramasa away from him.

Before he can get close enough to materialize his Zanpakuto, he must first close his heart.

If he closes himself off emotionally, how can he possibly win?

"Grandpa..." Byakuya Kuchiki watched the battle from the sidelines, gripping his Zanpakuto tightly. It wasn't enough... he was still too weak...

"Can't even get out of the Sixth Division's barracks..." Muramasa frowned. "It seems you've made quite a few preparations, but—I did my own work before coming here! Kyoka Suigetsu—"

"I see."

As the words were spoken, a person walked out from the side, and at the same time, a large amount of water vapor spread out in all directions, obscuring everyone's view.

I'm sorry.

"But there's nothing we can do about it," Jinghua Shuiyue said apologetically.

"This is the Zanpakuto ability of the Fifth Division Lieutenant?"

Kuchiki Ginryu shielded herself with her hands.

The spiritual pressure began to become chaotic, as did the vision and sound. By the time everything returned to normal, Muramasa had already vanished.

Kuchiki Ginrei frowned at the current situation: "Is Soul Society... about to descend into chaos again?"

......

Ding ding ding ding————

[Emergency Summoning! Emergency Summoning! All squad captains and vice-captains, please assemble immediately at the First Squad Barracks. An abnormal situation has occurred at the Sixth Squad. Furthermore, all squads have obtained the Shikai Shinigami within their barracks. Do not move around and await the Captain-Commander's orders.]

[To reiterate, this is an emergency call to action! An emergency call to action!]

Alarms quickly sounded in the Seireitei, waking those who had been asleep.

Alarms and Hell Butterflies signaled to each squad, and the Seireitei instantly entered a state of high alert, issuing Zanpakuto release permits—

The Shinigami Academy, located within the Seireitei, was also included.

Fujimaru Ritsuka was one of them; he was woken up by the alarm while he was asleep.

Hearing the commotion outside, he pushed open the door in confusion.

"Hey! What are you still doing—emergency assembly!" A passing student immediately said upon seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka's appearance.

"Yes! I understand—" Fujimaru Ritsuka quickly shouted to the others in the dormitory, and they rushed out together.

"What on earth happened?"

"I don't know, we'll just have to wait and see."

"Excuse me, could you please pass by?" In the central hall, Fujimaru Ritsuka walked through the crowded people, searching for Mash.

Everyone gathered together.

This applies to both first-year and sixth-year students...
