Why are all of us who transmigrated at the same time demons?

The emperor also undoubtedly had close ties with Abrahamic religions, and Jesus was even suspected to be his alter ego.

So think about it, in the broken world of Warhammer 40, if suddenly the Emperor wants to talk to you and invites you to the Golden Throne, wouldn't that be a good thing?

Similarly, if you draw an analogy between this matter and the Spirit King, you'll understand why Loran was somewhat uneasy.

"He wouldn't want me to release Him from millions of years of torment, would he? Isn't that something His good son Yhwach would do?"

"And I'm an outsider, you know? As the ruler of the world, is he out of his mind to expect an outsider to save Him?"

Loran was full of questions, but he did indeed gain a lot of benefits from this fragment of the Spirit King.

First, he used the memories that the Spirit King had accumulated in this fragment of soul to glimpse the chaotic world before the creation of the Three Realms.

Secondly, he learned a unique spiritual energy manipulation (spiritual pressure circulation) method belonging to the Soul King, which allowed him to develop the power that a single spiritual pressure could unleash to its fullest extent.

Finally, the power of this Soul Sleep was digested by the Soul Eater, greatly promoting Loran's soul evolution.

The Spirit King himself possessed the power of "omnipotence," and His power even further perfected Loran's soul structure, evolving from one begetting two, and then from two begetting three.

The hidden dangers behind the fragments of the Spirit King are still unknown, but the effects are truly amazing, no wonder it is the number one tonic in the Three Realms.

Loran suppressed the desire in his heart. It was especially important to remain rational at times like these, and not let instinct cloud his judgment. He decided that if he obtained any more fragments of the Spirit King in the future, he shouldn't rush to consume them; he should study them first.

"My spiritual pressure is now unparalleled in the three realms. Even Aizen, the spiritual pressure monster, couldn't compare to me before he evolved through the Hogyoku."

Loran tested his new body. The increase in spiritual pressure was astonishing, and his physical body was far superior to his previous Shinigami body. His reflexes, thought speed, and sensory abilities had all evolved in a comprehensive way.

Just as Loran was testing his newly evolved body, Aizen sat high on his throne in the Las Noches Palace, listening to reports from Gin Ichimaru and the other Arrancar about Loran.

Aizen was not angered by the invasion of Hueco Mundo; his amber eyes were full of interest.

“Interesting. Judging from the images you’ve provided, the intruder should be Kusakabe Munejiro.”

Gin Ichimaru paused, then asked uncertainly, "Kusaka Soujiro? Is he a student at the Shinigami Academy in the same year as that super genius Hitsugaya Toshiro from the 10th Division?"

Aizen tapped the armrest of the throne with amusement, offering an explanation to Gin Ichimaru.

“You remember correctly, Gin is that Kusakabe Soujiro. Back when Hitsugaya Toshiro was famous in the Shinigami Academy, I took you and Tosen to see this genius who was known as one in a hundred years in Soul Society. At that time, Kusakabe was by Hitsugaya’s side.”

Gin Ichimaru nodded; thanks to Aizen's reminder, he remembered everything.

Tosen Kaname chimed in, "But when Hitsugaya graduated, I didn't see Kusakabe Sojiro's name on the list. I thought he was a promising talent, and I even considered recruiting him into the Ninth Division back then."

"Hmph." Aizen chuckled, a strange smile playing on his lips.

"Because this Kusaka-kun has been secretly disposed of by the Central 46. According to my secret investigation, the cause of Kusaka-kun's death was the awakening of a Zanpakuto exactly like Hitsugaya-kun's—Hyourinmaru."

"Gin, didn't you report that at the end of the battle, the opponent transformed his weapon into Hyōrinmaru?"

“Indeed, Lord Aizen. The invaders did indeed display the power of Hyōrinmaru at the end, and its power far surpassed that of Hitsugaya-kun,” Gin Ichimaru replied respectfully.

"That's interesting. A dead person from Soul Society suddenly appears in Hueco Mundo, and a graduate of the Shinigami Academy suddenly gains terrifying power that surpasses that of the Espada."

"Is this Kusakabe-kun hiding a huge secret? Or was the one who invaded Las Noches not Kusakabe at all?"

"Gin, which possibility do you think it is?" Aizen asked Gin Ichimaru.

Gin Ichimaru pretended to think for a moment before replying, "Lord Aizen, I think both possibilities exist."

Aizen didn't press the matter further, because he had already made a decision—he would personally go and meet this new neighbor of Hueco Mundo.

Aizen was extremely disappointed with the Espada's performance. These subordinates, on whom he had placed such high hopes, were so easily defeated, which made him seriously question their strength.

Therefore, this time Aizen decided to only take Gin Ikomaru and Kaname Tōsen with him.

As the king of Hueco Mundo, Aizen absolutely could not tolerate the enemy's invasion and remain indifferent.

On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore?

Any challenge to his authority will be met with his merciless response.

Chapter 67 Bleach: Loran vs. Aizen (Part 1)

Two incredibly heavy spiritual pressures began to collide on the Hueco Mundo, and the violent conflict between them even caused the void to crack.

The spiritual particles rubbed together rapidly, unleashing high-energy spiritual lightning, and the sound of massive swords clashing came from afar.

Gin Ichimaru watched the two fighting at a speed too fast for the naked eye to perceive and couldn't help but exclaim, "They're really two monsters."

Not long after Loran and Aizen met, they began to fight each other with swords drawn. Gin Ichimaru and Kaname Tōsen were simply not capable of joining the battle.

Aizen swung his Zanpakuto with a speed and trajectory that were difficult to detect with the naked eye, but what stopped this strike, which was enough to instantly kill a captain of the Gotei 13, was a Zanpakuto that looked like a work of glass art.

"It's truly delightful that you, Kusaka-kun, possess such skill in swordsmanship," Aizen remarked, wielding his sword with admiration.

"But this swordsmanship style doesn't quite resemble the Yuan style, does it?"

Loran's swordsmanship is neither flashy nor complicated, but rather a return to simplicity after experiencing various routines and moves.

Loran is a true all-rounder, proficient in at least a thousand or eight hundred different martial arts styles. These skills, honed through countless battles, are all the essence of what he has learned.

Golden spiritual pressure sword energy shot into the sky like a crescent moon, a unique slashing technique that Loran had stolen from Harribel.

The spiritual pressure adhered to the sword's blade, slashing out like sword energy. Loran also improved this technique using the principles of the Seventy-Eighth Devil's Technique: "Slashing Wheel".

"The agility of this sword strike already has the flair of the Shiba family's 'Getsuga Tenshou,' but unfortunately the spiritual pressure compression is not dense enough."

Aizen's eyes revealed admiration, but his tone carried a hint of regret.

He also unleashed a powerful slash with his superior spiritual pressure and swordsmanship, shattering Loran's spiritual pressure sword energy.

The two figures flashed and moved across the Hueco Mundo, as if they were teleporting, and each clash unleashed a violent shockwave.

"Lord Aizen seems quite happy," Ginichimaru said, his tone somewhat complicated.

Tosen didn't reply, but simply nodded silently.

Aizen was indeed a little excited; he hadn't seen such an opponent in a long time.

It's no wonder Aizen's mind is unsettled; it's simply a rare opportunity.

It's important to understand that Aizen Sousuke's talent was simply too great; he touched the limits of a Shinigami very early on.

He reached the pinnacle in all four paths of "slaying fists and walking ghosts," and no one could keep up with him or understand his loneliness.

Some say that if Aizen Sousuke were given a Hyōrinmaru, his direct attack power might be no less than that of Captain-Commander Yamamoto.

It's not that "Kyoka Suigetsu" is bad, but rather that it doesn't belong to the category of Zanpakuto that deals direct, brutal damage like "Ryujin Jakka".

Even so, there are very few people in the entire Soul Society who can force Aizen to use his full strength. After all, he has bigger plans that require him to conceal himself; he can't just directly challenge Captain-Commander Yamamoto, can he?

When Aizen arrived in Hueco Mundo, he swept through it like cutting melons and vegetables, with no one worth his serious attention.

Therefore, Aizen had not fought with such full strength for a long time. For a martial artist, unleashing his power to the fullest is instinctive.

The divine sword is unparalleled, yet it is placed high in a pavilion; this is the greatest humiliation for the divine sword.

"What a long-lost pleasure!" Aizen's eyes burned like flames underwater.

At that moment, countless mouths and hands appeared out of thin air on the sand and in the air, countless overlapping chants rang out in the void, and countless palms formed corresponding hand seals.

"At the edge of a thousand hands, the revered hand cannot reach the darkness, nor can the archer of the heavens reflect its light."

"The path of radiant light, the wind that ignites the spark, let us gather without confusion, and follow my guidance."

"Light Bomb·Eight Body·Nine Articles·Tian Jing·Ji Bao·Big Wheel"

"The gray turret, bow drawn towards the distance, vanished in a gleaming glow."

"Hado Chapter 91: 'Senju Kyoten Taiho'"

A barrage of powerful pink energy blasts, like a meteor shower, rained down on Aizen.

"It's somewhat similar to Azashiro Sōya's ability, using the fusion of spiritual particles to construct a prosthetic body to perform multiple Kidō incantations. No, it's even more domineering than Azashiro Sōya's ability; these Kidō beams are actually constantly fusing and getting stronger."

Aizen stared at the approaching Thousand Hands Light Arrows and clearly saw that these already powerful Kido beams were actually fusing together, making the Kido even more powerful.

"Even though he just graduated from the Shinigami Academy not long ago, his Kido skills are better than most Captain-level Shinigami."

"Kusaka-kun, you're so interesting!"

Aizen finally burst into laughter.

"As the King of Hueco Mundo, I cannot be looked down upon!" Aizen began chanting his Kido incantation.

"The chosen ones of heaven, the iron walls, the dragon's flight, the lion's roar, the tiger's howl, the wolf's charge, severing heaven and earth before collapse."

"Binding Path No. 81: 'Severing the Void'"

Aizen's final chant was short and powerful, and the three sides of the thirty-six-layered void tightly surrounded him.

This is a high-level technique of the Ghost Path—simulation of chanting.

By injecting spiritual pressure into the Kido in an extremely complex way, it achieves the effect of chanting it multiple times, which is equivalent to using the same Kido several times at the same time.

The function of the 81st Binding Path, "Danku," is to create a wall in front of the body, which can completely defend against the 89th and lower Bakudos.

Aizen, on the other hand, could instantly erect a powerful defense of thirty-six layers on his three sides to defend against Loran's overwhelming Thousand Hands Lightning Cannon.

It should be noted that nearly a hundred years ago, Aizen was able to withstand the full power of the Great Demon Lord's Hado 88, "Flying Dragon Strike the Thief's Heaven-Shaking Thunder Cannon," thanks to the perfect defense of the broken incantation of Danku.

A terrifying roar echoed across the battlefield outside Hueco Mundo, and the shockwaves from the explosions kicked up countless grains of sand.

Neither Death, who was openly observing the battle, nor the Void, who was secretly watching, were terrified by this terrifying power.

As soon as he finished speaking, a golden beam of spiritual energy, as sharp as a divine sword, swept across the area, flattening a rock wall that was a hundred meters high.

Having dodged the attack, Aizen watched with interest as Loran unleashed this incredibly powerful Kido technique, and asked, "What's the name of this move?"

『Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion』

In Loran's hand, six golden, high-density spirit particle spheres, resembling phantoms, spun like planets.

This was inspired by the Naruto movie theater next door. He combined the techniques of multiple Kido and Cero Fusion, using Kido power to condense high-density spiritual particles, and at the moment of firing, he used high-speed rotation to twist and fuse the fired spiritual particle beam, and used the power of "Spiritual Pivot" to restrain it.

Such a beam of spiritual particles is like a divine sword in a spiral shape. Wherever its blade sweeps across, it is equivalent to being distorted at the microscopic level by the spiral force field, causing the spiritual particle structure to collapse. Its outward manifestation is that it can cut almost anything.

"Where there is gold, there will be silver."

Loran's manipulation technique loosened the constraints of the spiral force field formed by the six ghostly spirit particle spheres, allowing its coverage area to expand and disperse, thus creating a spirit particle cutting wave that resembled a silver gale.

'Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion'

Aizen's response to this was quite simple.

With overwhelming spiritual pressure, he summoned a dragon of spiritual particles with the power to destroy the heavens and the earth.

"Hado Chapter 99: The Five Dragons' Annihilation"

The dragon roared as it met the silver storm that resembled a natural disaster. It charged into the storm of spiritual particles, stirring up the gale with its massive purple spiritual particle body. The streams of spiritual particles that shot out were like javelins piercing the sky, leaving the earth scarred and devastated.

Aizen did not use "Kyoka Suigetsu" and Loran did not use the "All Things" ability much.

The two were simply exchanging blows head-on with overwhelming combat power. In this state, Aizen and Lorraine were more like two Kenpachi from the Eleventh Division.

"Mr. Aizen, aren't you going to release your Zanpakuto?" Loran suddenly asked.

Aizen narrowed his eyes, his signature smile still on his face.

"I remember that Kusaka-kun once saw my 'Mirror Flower Water Moon' release during a real-world practical exam, right?"

Loran raised an eyebrow. From the moment they met, Aizen had been testing his true identity.

Loran didn't actually care that Aizen could tell that this body had been replaced, but he didn't have much to say to Aizen either.

Therefore, after only a few words, Loran started hacking away with "All Things".

To deal with these old coins that have lived for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years, you can't play mind games with them. Instead, you should use the strategy of "beating the old master with a flurry of punches" to shut them up with your fists.

Aizen raised his Zanpakuto and said.

"If Kusaka-kun has forgotten my Zanpakuto ability, teacher (Aizen is also a teacher at the Shinigami Academy, teaching calligraphy) can repeat it again."

"My 'Kyoka Suigetsu' is a water-type Zanpakuto. Its Shikai ability is to create illusions through the refraction of water mist to confuse the enemy's vision. When facing multiple enemies, it can even make them kill each other."

"Be careful... Mr. Grass Crown."

"Shatter it! Mirror flowers and water moons."

Chapter 68 Bleach: Loran vs. Aizen (Part 2)

It was as if I heard the sound of a mirror shattering, or perhaps it was just a psychological illusion.

An unusually thick fog appeared in the dry Hueco Mundo, and Aizen's figure disappeared into the fog.
