No matter who won, the loser would become the new sacrifice, the new Soul King, and the new wedge.
There must be a Soul King!
And he was the one who controlled the Soul King and the Soul King Palace.
Very perfect!
Of course, even now, he couldn't see through Uehara Shiroha.
He no longer dared to underestimate this mysterious and strange guy who had emerged out of nowhere.
Because he suddenly discovered that Uehara Shiroha had lost control and become elusive.
Fortunately, the other party had not shown up so far.
This was good news.
Now it seemed that Uehara Shiroha had only accidentally obtained the power beyond the Shinigami, which might have limits or some harsh conditions for use.
Maybe this guy was good at sensing energy.
That was why he was able to perform smoothly and suppress his clairvoyance.
Now that the last unstable factor had been eliminated, everything was under control.
Uehara Shiroha's existence was indeed insignificant and did not affect the plan.
On the outskirts of Karakura Town, an incomparably huge black coffin enveloped the world, blocking out the sky and the sun, with incomparably terrifying pressure and power.
Looking at Kurosaki Ichigo who was completely covered by the black coffin, Aizen smiled and thought to himself:
"I am indeed invincible! Now I can't lose! I never thought my power could be further improved! This is even beyond my expectations! Great, I'm starting to understand everything!"
Just when Aizen thought he had won, Kurosaki Ichigo performed a counterattack and tore the black coffin apart with his bare hands.
He waved his hand and easily smashed the black coffin in front of him.
What transcendent Kidō, what gravity flow—all the fancy stuff was useless.
In his hands, the extremely hard and destructive black coffin was shattered like glass.
Looking at Kurosaki Ichigo breaking out of the coffin, Aizen was confused and began to doubt his life.
Who was he?
Where was he?
What was he doing?
He even suspected that he was in a state of illusion and that everything that happened before his eyes was an illusion.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why the Kurohitsugi released by him, a transcendent being, with all his strength, could be destroyed so easily.
You should know that the gravity flow created by the Kurohitsugi could even tear apart spirit particles and ignite space.
This kind of Kidō surpassed reiatsu attacks and the super reiatsu wall that could shatter restraints.
How could a mere human destroy such a demonic art?!
Fake—all fake!
Kurosaki Ichigo said helpfully:
"It seems like you didn't notice at all. Compared to your current strength, my strength is much stronger. That mountain that got shaved off in the distance... It was actually my sword! I'm going to end this, Aizen!"
As a kind-hearted person, he even felt reluctant to expose Aizen.
Because from the very beginning, he could sense the other party's reiatsu.
But Aizen couldn't sense his reiatsu.
The facts were obvious.
His power now surpassed that of Aizen.
Therefore, Kurosaki Ichigo behaved so calmly, so composedly, and so confidently.
On the one hand, his heart had become stronger.
On the other hand, his strength had become stronger—really stronger.
He had sacrificed the future to gain power beyond Aizen.
Even if his opponent had merged with the Hōgyoku and transformed himself into a Hollow hybrid, he would still not be his match.
Therefore, the sword slashed by Kurosaki Ichigo was extremely sharp and powerful.
When Aizen heard what Kurosaki Ichigo said, his first reaction was that it was impossible.
But the next moment, the blade cut through his body.
He was stabbed and injured!
It turned out that gods could bleed too!
The moment he was injured, Aizen subconsciously used light movement to distance himself from Kurosaki Ichigo.
Looking at Aizen who was hiding in the distance, Kurosaki Ichigo sighed:
"It's such a familiar yet wonderful scene. Before, I distanced myself from you during the fight, and you asked me why I did that. You also said that this was a wrong choice, because when the strength is equal, it only makes sense to keep a distance. The weak have no right to wait and see—they can only risk everything and fight to the end. But now you are distancing yourself from me. Now let me ask you: why do you keep your distance from me?"
He would defeat Aizen head-on and bury the privileged party completely with confidence.
He would protect his family, friends, and Karakura Town.
This was what power meant.
Faced with Kurosaki Ichigo's cutting taunts, Aizen was extremely angry.
He gritted his teeth, no longer having his previous calmness and complacency.
Aizen really didn't expect that from the beginning to the end, he was the clown.
It was so humiliating and hateful!
He shouted angrily:
"I see. I was careless before! But are you so happy that you blocked my sword? Are you so happy that you defeated my Kidō? Are you so happy that you hurt my body? Don't get too carried away, you human!"
The boundless rage burned away Aizen's sanity.
