I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

Muramasa turned around and stared blankly for a few seconds at the group of death gods behind him.

no...

Didn't they say they were all going back to their own team dormitories?

How can you hide your spiritual pressure in the side?

Ryougi Kazuya was also taken aback. He was originally preparing to release his Zanpakuto to connect with this Captain-Commander... Although connecting with anyone other than Ryougi Shiki felt a little disgusting... but could he just bear with it at this crucial moment?

Did these people just suddenly appear?

"So... this time you didn't tell me... no, you didn't tell us?" Ryougi Kazuya frowned slightly and looked at the Fifth Division Lieutenant, Aizen Sousuke, in the crowd.

He gave himself a slight smile, then looked in the direction of his Zanpakuto, Kyoka Suigetsu.

'Something feels off...'

There were some things I didn't understand about Liangyi and Mi, but I couldn't quite put my finger on what they were.

......

"Oh, right."

Aizen watched as Fujimaru Ritsuka 'broke free' from his grasp, then bent down, took out a pill-like object from his sleeve, and was about to put it into Fujimaru Ritsuka's mouth.

"senior--"

Mashu shouted and was about to rush forward.

However, given that she can only be described as having spiritual pressure at the vice-captain level, it would be better if she could use a Zanpakuto.

When Fujimaru Ritsuka was present, her shield was an absolute defense. However, that is not the case now, as her Zanpakuto had already broken earlier.

Furthermore, her previous battle with Galahad had depleted a significant amount of her spiritual pressure.

Being able to stand up at all is already a testament to their utmost effort.

There is only one possible outcome.

She didn't even feel Aizen's movement; she just felt a sharp pain in her chest as her broken Zanpakuto was stuck in her chest.

Aizen turned his gaze back to Fujimaru Ritsuka and put the pill into his mouth.

"What's this?"

“An experiment,” Aizen said with a smile. “Right now, it’s only been tested on the residents of Rukongai. Are you happy? You’re qualified. You’re the first Shinigami I’ve put this experiment on. The original plan was to continue testing it on the residents of Rukongai, but… let me see your reaction.”

"senior..."

Aizen looked at Mash and said, "It's a real shame. If you had agreed with me sooner, things might not have turned out this way. I'm sorry for conducting the experiment on your senior without waiting for you to change your mind. Feel free to resent me."

"Because you will soon lose even the capacity to harbor resentment."

"Ugh... Ah..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka clutched her neck, feeling something surging out of her body.

"Wow------"

Large amounts of white liquid gushed from Fujimaru Ritsuka's face, and she gradually lost her physical form.

Mashu remembered...

The disappearance of souls -

That's something that might be happening in Rukongai now, but it hasn't been noticed by the Seireitei. It won't come to light until several years later, which will lead to Shinji Hirako and others being Hollowfied, sentenced to the Soul Society, and becoming Visoreds.

And now-

As Fujimaru Ritsuka's spiritual pressure is not even at the level of an average Shinigami, it seems obvious what will happen to her.

"Another failure." Aizen slowly took a few steps back, already anticipating the outcome. Just like with other experiments, after failure, the white liquid would splatter in all directions and then disappear completely.

As for Fujimaru Ritsuka as the original, she would naturally disappear completely from this world.

"As expected, we'll need to use even more powerful spirits for the experiments." Aizen said, glancing in Mash's direction, but—

Disappeared.

Turning around, Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had been wailing, had also disappeared.

"This is... interesting." Aizen looked around. Indeed, Mash and Fujimaru Ritsuka had completely disappeared without a trace.

But why exactly?

What on earth could possibly take someone away right in front of him?

"Speaking of which... what I just sensed." At this moment, Aizen slowly closed his eyes, pondering the aura he had just felt: "Was it the flood of time? Did time seem to slow down for a moment? Or... did it stop?"

Someone stopped time and took Mash and Fujimaru Ritsuka away right before his eyes.

That's the only way to judge it now.

At the same time, he heard a loud noise in the distance—

"That's... the Purification Gate has descended... As expected, it seems those two have already escaped from the Seireitei, but in such a short time... their speed is quite fast."

The reason Gin Ichimaru was able to leave before was because he tampered with the pass; otherwise, the result would have been the same if he had entered and exited without permission.

However, Aizen didn't believe that speed would be slower than the speed at which the Purification Gate descended.

"Things...are starting to get interesting."

......

"This...this is..." Mashu looked at the rapidly receding scenery around her, somewhat dazed, not understanding what was happening.

"You're awake."

"You are..." Mashu looked up at the voice but could only see the back of the figure holding her with one hand: "Who?"

Chapter 1056 The Avengers

"Is the First Squad's situation almost over...?"

Aizen looked at the First Division: "Using Kyoka Suigetsu to have someone else replace me is a bad thing, because it prevents me from using too much spiritual pressure... just like now."

If his spiritual pressure were released without restraint, then a battle like the one just now would never have happened.

Both Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu were forced to remain kneeling on the ground from the very beginning, unable to move an inch.

Not to mention the inexplicable intrusion of petty thieves into his experimental site.

This was impossible from the start.

......

"Looks like it's coming to an end..."

Kyoraku Shunsui approached Unohana Retsu and said, "The old man of the Sixth Division has been wary of that Muramasa, and he certainly didn't expect him to join the First Division so quickly..."

I feel like something's not right.

As he said this, he looked towards Aizen's side.

Aizen stood there panting, barely managing to defeat Kyoka Suigetsu, but as a result, he also sustained several wounds.

There seems to be nothing wrong.

Although he is stronger than the average vice-captain, he is still some distance from being a captain.

However, they are not far off. Their spiritual pressure has already reached the level of a captain. If they can learn Bankai, then they will undoubtedly be the next captain-level candidate.

only...

Something feels off.

Ryougi and Miya shared the same feeling while watching this battle... This Kyoka Suigetsu is so weak...

Is Aizen putting on an act?

But that's not right. After being hypnotized by Muramasa, no matter what the original Zanpakuto was thinking, it must be thinking about defeating its master at this point.

It's already good enough that Aizen's weaknesses weren't exposed, how could he be defeated so easily?

Spiritual pressure... even though it's only slightly weaker than his own, it shouldn't be like this. Aizen's spiritual pressure is definitely stronger than his.

Something's not right...

Muramasa's actions were also questionable; he just charged in with his Zanpakuto, unaware that Ginryu Kuchiki was still alive.

The old man who repeatedly instructed Kuchiki Byakuya on his deathbed about Kuchiki Kyoga has been thinking about how to deal with Muramasa's abilities ever since then.

So much time has passed, they must have developed their own methods by now.

The village's three-pronged approach to improving its character is truly remarkable.

They simply couldn't spare any resources to deal with the Captain-Commander. The fact that Ryujin Jakka crippled all the Zanpakuto without using it on a large scale was already a great favor.

Relatively speaking, the battle between Ryougi Shiki and Ryougi Ori is quite intense.

"Captain Kyoraku," Retsu Unohana said, ignoring the chaos and focusing on the battle on Ryougi Shiki's side, "what do you think of their swords?"

"Swordsmanship... seems impressive, and it feels different from when you fought her."

"Huh? Did you look around? I don't remember you being nearby..."

"Ahem, what's wrong with that? Is there anything special about their swordsmanship?" Kyoraku Shunsui coughed lightly to change the subject.

"Just take a closer look."

Kyoraku Shunsui stroked his chin and looked over. He hadn't paid attention before, but now that he looked closely, he realized something was wrong.

The number of swords is changing—

Sometimes, in an instant, the swords clashing against each other suddenly become six—

He understood what Unohana meant; it wasn't some special ability, but something much simpler—just swordsmanship.

He achieved a dimensional slash in an instant solely through swordsmanship, turning one sword into three...

"Did she use this in your battle before?"
