Bleach: No cheat codes, he joined Aizen's side.

Chapter 302. Disappointment, and more disappointment.

Aizen Sousuke appeared outside the ice prison.

His appearance was noticeably different from before, and he gently placed his left hand on the towering ice prison.

It was as if they were reminiscing, or perhaps expressing regret.

Such a decent move and combination of moves, if used against other enemies, might become a textbook example of combat.

Unfortunately, they encountered themselves, so in the end they could only become the backdrop for tragedy.

"Aizen?"
So who was the one that was just sealed off?

Soi Fon wasn't surprised that Aizen was easily defeated by Toshiro Hitsugaya with a single move.

What gave her an incredulous expression was that Aizen had appeared outside the ice prison.

Could it be that Toshiro Hitsugaya's attack missed?
It's not impossible.

After all, Hitsugaya Toshiro was just a student at the Shinigami Academy not long ago. His first real battle was against an enemy like Aizen Sousuke, so his mistakes are understandable.

Even Toshiro Hitsugaya looked at his thousand-year-old ice prison with a puzzled expression after Aizen appeared outside the ice prison.

Did he really miss the big question?

No, there isn't.

Toshiro Hitsugaya could clearly sense that there were living beings inside that ice prison!
He did indeed hit Aizen!

So what exactly is going on now?
Aizen could see that all of these Shinigami were filled with great confusion at this moment.

"Hahaha"

He was very satisfied with the current situation; this was exactly the effect he wanted!
Logically, Aizen, as the "villain," should have continued to let Soi Fon and the others fight with confusion, so that these Shinigami would die without ever knowing what had happened.

However, Aizen Sousuke, who loved to teach, disdained to do that.

In his view, Soi Fon and the others had been surprised, and he had truly played and manipulated them.

Then it's time to let them know the truth.

Because they were kept in the dark and defeated by their opponents, they died in confusion, and even knowing the reason, they were still powerless and could only watch helplessly as they were defeated again.

These are two completely different feelings.

If it were Higashino Shuichi, he would definitely choose the former.
However, Aizen clearly preferred the latter.

Isn't that incredible?
Didn't I fall victim to that little guy's Bankai?
Why are you still here?

Aizen gracefully swept his right hand across the thick ice prison, and then, with Aizen's movement and the infusion of spiritual pressure,

In that instant, the towering, thousand-year-old ice prison vanished into nothingness.

Just like what happened in the severance zone before.

For Aizen, erasing the existence of this ice prison was as simple as eating and drinking.

It's not some profound skill; there's no skill involved. You can accomplish all of this simply by using your strength.

That was purely the power of the Hogyoku, simply fulfilling Aizen's expectations.

Aizen hoped that the Dangai would cease to exist, so the Hogyoku instantly obliterated the Dangai that had stood between the Soul Society and the human world for thousands of years, and had troubled countless Shinigami for thousands of years.

Aizen didn't want Hitsugaya Toshiro's Thousand-Year Ice Prison to be in his way, so the Hogyoku helped Aizen by dispelling the heavy ice prison with a sweep of his right hand.

The original Hogyoku probably couldn't have been as free and unpredictable as the current Hogyoku.

However, Aizen in this timeline, who knew about the Great Spiritual Library Corridor early on and obtained all the data on Urahara Kisuke's creation and even experiments from him, had a union with the Hogyoku that was a natural progression and a meeting of minds.

In Aizen's hands, this version of the Hogyoku had become a veritable wish-granting machine.

Beneath that icy prison, Soi Fon and Toshiro Hitsugaya saw not Aizen Sousuke, but another Shinigami they never expected.

Hinamori Momo, the vice-captain of the Fifth Division!
"Why is it Atao?!"

Soi Fon couldn't understand.

Even Toshiro Hitsugaya couldn't understand it.

Aizen Sousuke grabbed Hinamori Momo, who had just been nearly frozen unconscious by Hitsugaya Toshiro's Thousand-Year Ice Prison, and told everyone the answer.

It's like a mirage.

It is Aizen's true Shikai ability.

His Zanpakuto was never a water-type Zanpakuto, but a spirit-type Zanpakuto.

Anyone who falls victim to his Zanpakuto's power will have their five senses completely controlled by Aizen for life.

Even when Aizen released his Zanpakuto, it was no exception.

"So, back then, you used this ability to deceive the entire Soul Society, and at the same time forced Kisuke Urahara and Lisa Yadomaru to flee to the human world, right?"

After hearing Aizen's explanation, Yoruichi Shihouin, with a gloomy expression, leaped up from the ground and stood in front of Aizen.

Just like Soi Fon's concerns before, no matter how fiercely the Shinigami of the Gotei 13 fought Aizen, and no matter how much Yoruichi Shihouin wanted to help deal with Aizen, Yoruichi Shihouin never made a move.

Because of her status as a traitor to Soul Society, she is not allowed to do this.

But now, things have changed.

After Aizen practically confessed to all his crimes, Yoruichi Shihouin could clearly feel that the shackles that had bound her for over a hundred years, forcing her to hide her face, had been broken.

Such a thing would be absolutely unimaginable for someone like Shuichi Higashino.

If it were Higashino Shuichi, he wouldn't care about the shackles binding him. If Soul Society treated him unfairly, he wouldn't blame Higashino Shuichi for being unjust to Soul Society.

However, this is perfectly normal for Yoruichi Shihouin and other original Gotei 13 Shinigami who received the most complete and traditional Shinigami education.

After all, in the original storyline, they did something even more outrageous and infuriating.

This occurred when Yhwach led the Sternritter in a campaign of revenge and massacre against Soul Society.

Shinji Hirako and his Visoreds had a chance to help fight against the Quincy.

As a result, they were defeated by the Sternritter members because they were concerned about the rules of Soul Society and were unwilling to use their stronger Hollowfied forms within Soul Society.

Admittedly, even if they used their ethereal forms, they might not necessarily be able to defeat the Sternritter members, who were practically cheating.

However, the fact that they don't use Hollowfication for such a reason is enough to show what kind of status these veteran Shinigami hold in the Soul Society's rules.

For Yoruichi Shihouin, Aizen's words were undoubtedly foolish, because they would create another enemy for Aizen out of thin air.

But for Aizen, what difference would it make if they all attacked together? "What, the great former head of the Shihouin family, do you want to do something for those traitors of Soul Society?"

Aizen smiled and looked at Yoruichi Shihouin.

He didn't directly admit to his past, but now there's no Grim Reaper, and he'll still believe his past testimony.

"Instant Roar - Thunder Beast Battle Form!"

Yoruichi Shihouin immediately unleashed his ultimate attack.

Her idea was simple: to defeat Aizen in the shortest possible time while Aizen had just dispelled the illusion on Hinamori Momo, which was the so-called "Kyoka Suigetsu" gap.

Otherwise, if Aizen were to use Kyoka Suigetsu again, she might not know who she was attacking.

Yoruichi Shihouin's thinking is not without reason. After all, according to the most basic logic in this world, and a phenomenon that Shuichi Higashino discovered a long time ago, all Shinigami, including Hollows, do not have abilities that can be activated continuously without interruption.

There will inevitably be intervals in between, similar to the skill cooldown in the game in Higashino Shuichi's previous life.

However, Aizen is indeed an exception.

Aizen's Kyoka Suigetsu has no cooldown period; it only depends on whether Aizen wants to use it at any given moment.

Yoruichi Shihouin was lucky enough that Aizen didn't intend to use Kyoka Suigetsu.

But Yoruichi Shihouin was unfortunate enough, because the opponent she chose for herself was named Aizen Sousuke.

The lightning that filled the sky looked powerful, but it was as powerless as cotton in front of that man.

Aizen didn't even extend his hands; he simply put them behind his back and casually moved through the air, easily dodging all of Yoruichi Shihouin's attacks.

At that moment, Yoruichi Shihouin felt that her title of "Flash God" was a joke.

She could feel that Aizen's eyes saw right through her every move.

"Is this the best you can do?"

Finally, after seeing Yoruichi Shihouin suddenly stop, Aizen didn't forget to come to Yoruichi Shihouin's side and finally put a hand on Yoruichi Shihouin's abdomen.

Yoruichi Shihouin's eyes widened.

When and how did Aizen appear in front of her?

Why didn't she notice anything?!
And those lightning bolts surrounding her body, they struck Aizen without having any effect whatsoever?!
All these doubts only left a fleeting memory in Yoruichi Shihouin's mind.

Because in the next instant, a torrent of black spiritual pressure pierced through Yoruichi Shihouin's body.

Along with the lightning that kept flashing around her body, it also flew into the distance along with the torrent of black spiritual pressure.

One move, or only one move!
Yoruichi was defeated, and even his secret technique, Instantaneous Roar, was broken by Aizen Sousuke.

This forced Yoruichi to revert to his original form.

Soi Fon was somewhat confused. Could she really stop Aizen like this?

She had only ever felt a similar sense of powerlessness with that former lord, Hideaki.

But even the former Shuichi didn't manage to take on captains one after another like Aizen does today.

It was as if the captain was just a slightly more sophisticated toy in his hands.

Fortunately, a large hand landed on Soi Fon's shoulder in time, giving her a final bit of confidence.

"Thank you for your hard work, we're late."

Soi Fon turned around and saw that it was Kyoraku Shunsui, the captain of the 8th Division, and behind him was Ukitake Jushiro, the pale-faced and solemn-looking captain of the 13th Division.

It was Captain-Commander Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, who was frowning and glaring angrily.

It was Chojiro Suzuki, the lieutenant of the First Division, who had already drawn his Zanpakuto and was about to unleash his Bankai to join the battle;

He was carrying an unreleased asagi, with some blood on his body, looking like Kenpachi Zaraki, the captain of the 11th Division, who had just gone through a fierce battle.

It was Kisaragi Shusuke, the captain of the 10th Division, who also had some blood on his body, a clear injury to his left arm, and a look of surprise and curiosity in his eyes.

It can be said that all the strongest fighters in Soul Society have now arrived at this small Sōkyō Hill.

Their only target is Aizen Sousuke, the captain of the 5th Division of the Gotei 13!

"Aizen, Yoruichi Shihouin has already told me everything about you through the Hell Butterfly. I've also gone to the Central 46 with Ukitake to confirm that the Great Sages of the Central 46 have indeed been killed. We even encountered an unexpected person there."

I think you should know that the captain of the Ninth Division is Kaname Tosen.

Your crimes are beyond redemption. Give up resistance and surrender, and perhaps you'll suffer the same fate as Higashino Shuichi back then—imprisoned in the deepest hell.

Kyoraku Shunsui knew, of course, that given the character of his teacher, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, he would never have said or made such a decision.

So he spoke to Aizen first.

The purpose was to make one last attempt.

Otherwise, the Soul Society, which is currently in a precarious state with powerful enemies eyeing it from the outside, really cannot withstand such a great battle.

This conclusion was drawn by Kyoraku Shunsui, who had not experienced the battle that had just taken place at Sogyoku Hill, after learning that the captain of the 9th Division, Tosen Kaname, and the captain of the 3rd Division, Ichimaru Gin, were both loyal to Aizen Sousuke.

Unfortunately, his efforts were destined to be in vain.

Because Aizen Sousuke would not agree, and now the Captain-Commander of the 13th Division, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, would be even less likely to agree!

Do you know what kind of people are the most despicable in this corrupt world?
It's not that he's ambitious but lacks the ability; it's that Kasumi Oji family head, Masashi.

It wasn't Tsunayoshiro Kambara, one of the former five great noble families who was both powerful and ambitious.

It's not like that guy who only hides in the shadows and plots against others;

"But you, this bunch of pedantic Grim Reapers, even if you clearly see right from wrong, you will still abide by your flawed decisions!"

Aizen shouted at Kyoraku Shunsui and the others.

Every word seemed to have pierced the depths of Kyoraku Shunsui's heart.

Because Kyoraku Shunsui knew very well that Aizen was not wrong.

He also hated this world, but he was powerless to change it. His identity as a member of the Kyoraku clan destined him to only be able to patch up and mend in this corrupt world.

Kyoraku Shunsui understood: this farce was nothing less than Aizen's final test for them, the Grim Reapers.
It's just the result of a test.
Lights shimmered in the sky.

That was Chojiro Suzume's Bankai, and also the answer for these Shinigami (death gods).
