Death: Captain Millennium

"Captain Aizen. Do you wish to take action yourself?"

Ichimaru Gin heard Aizen's voice and stopped in time.

"Ichimaru, go ahead. I was just sighing. But please hurry up! If this continues, the captain and the others will be here soon."

Although Aizen's deep eyes didn't betray any sign of blame towards Ichimaru Gin, with his tactful and thoughtful personality, how could he not hear the hidden meaning behind his words? Behind those seemingly calm words, it seemed as if endless thoughts and emotions were hidden.

"God-killing Spear! Dancing with the Blades."

As Ichimaru Gin let out a low cry, the divine spear unleashed a wide-ranging attack like a nimble venomous snake. Ichigo, already in a state of chaos and lacking full control over his own power, was now completely defenseless. Before he could even recover, the divine spear's deadly dance of attack had already struck him hard, knocking him to the ground.

The huge impact force caused the ground to tremble slightly, as if the whole world had stopped at this moment.

This time of virtualization ended so quickly and inadvertently. Before he could fully exert even a trace of the power after virtualization, and failed to show the due power and style, he was defeated.

"Rukia...Rukia!"

Ichigo's unwilling cry echoed in the air, as if it was a helpless sigh for his own failure, and also as if it was conveying his inner pain and struggle to Rukia in the distance.

He was knocked down in such a miserable state and temporarily lost consciousness.

"Ichigo!"

Rukia watched him fall in front of her and became panicked for a moment.

"Don't worry, he won't die. Now it's your turn, Rukia."

Aizen walked slowly forward and picked her up. He was wearing a pair of special gloves on his hands. He grabbed Rukia's chest. Just as his hand passed through her chest, Rukia closed her eyes in horror.

"Are you going to die? Teacher, you are too unreliable!"

Aizen grabbed a transparent bead from Rukia's body. Perhaps because of the special gloves, Rukia did not feel any pain, as if nothing had happened.

"Is this the Hogyoku that Urahara Kisuke created?"

Aizen threw Rukia to the ground and looked at the bead in his hand.

Rukia, who was thrown to the ground, was still in shock, and her hands kept groping around her body.

"Hey! I'm okay? I'm actually okay?"

"When was that bead inserted into my body? Could it be the teacher? Aizen said that this thing was made by Urahara Kisuke, so how did it get hidden in my body again?"

Rukia thought for a long time, this might be the reason why Lin Yu said Aizen would come to find her.

"No! This isn't Collapse Jade. Where is the real Collapse Jade?"

Aizen was playing with the Hogyoku in his hand with an intoxicated look on his face, when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Is this what you're looking for?"

A voice sounded in the corner, and it sounded so familiar.

Lin Yu walked out from the shadows, playing with the Hougyoku in his hand, and looked at Aizen with a smile on his face.

Aizen's pupils shrank, and for the first time, an expression of horror appeared on his calm face. He actually saw Lin Yu, whom he had killed with his own hands.

"you you?!"

Aizen even stuttered a little when he spoke.

"Don't get excited! Excitement is bad for your health. Do you want to drink some wine to calm down?"

Lin Yu originally wanted to give Aizen a surprise, but now it seems to have turned into a shock.

"Why aren't you dead? How come the Collapse Jade is in your hands?"

Aizen forced himself to calm down and quickly analyzed the current situation.

"How could I not be dead? I am indeed dead. Didn't you see it with your own eyes? That knife you stabbed me with was very painful. I haven't been injured like that in hundreds of years."

Lin Yu is still fooling Aizen.

"As for the Hogyoku, of course I took it out of Rukia's body when she first went to the human world."

Looking at Lin Yu's playful expression, Aizen didn't know whether what he said was true or false.

"call!"

Aizen took a deep breath and drew his Zanpakutō. He had already taken the man before him seriously, but he hadn't expected this to happen.

Facing Lin Yu, he felt insecure for the first time.

"Captain Aizen! Let me do it."

Ichimaru Gin's face was stern, with a flicker of determination in his eyes. He gripped the hilt tightly and slowly pointed the cold blade at Lin Yu. As long as Aizen gave the order, the sharp blade would pierce the chest of the person in front of him without hesitation to show his loyalty to someone.

"Ichimaru! Back off. You were no match for him more than 20 years ago, and you are no match for him now."

Aizen's voice rang out, his deep eyes revealing a hint of helplessness, but more of concern and understanding for his subordinates. He knew that with Ichimaru Gin's current strength, it would be like hitting a rock with an egg, so he decisively stopped Ichimaru Gin from taking action, hoping to avoid unnecessary casualties.

"Well! I admit I underestimated you, so let's continue the battle that was left unfinished over twenty years ago."

Aizen took a deep breath, his eyes sharpened, and he finally took action. He flashed in front of Lin Yu like a ghost and launched a fierce attack.

From the side, he was still cowardly, because all the enemies he had faced before were so calm and waited calmly for the other party to draw the knife first, but this time, he took action first.

"You're stronger than before, not bad, Aizen!" Lin Yu smiled faintly, and with a casual swing of the long sword in his hand, he easily blocked Aizen's attack. The powerful force made the air around him tremble, showing that Lin Yu's strength was indeed not to be underestimated.

He secretly sighed in his heart, he was indeed a person that even Yhwach valued very much, possessing such terrifying strength.

It's a pity that he was eventually defeated by the cheating Ichigo. If Ichigo hadn't used the 'Final Getsuga Tensho' to shake his will and even the Hogyoku had abandoned him, perhaps the outcome would be unknown.

The slashing attacks came towards Lin Yu continuously like a rainstorm, but he blocked them steadily every time, as if there was an invisible barrier protecting him.

During this fierce fight, an indisputable fact gradually became clear in his mind: his magic had no effect on the opponent in front of him.

Otherwise, with his miraculous ability of Mirror Flowers and Water Moons, it would be impossible for him to block every attack so accurately, as if the opponent had already seen through all his moves and intentions.

"Captain Lin Yu! I'm really curious, why aren't you affected by my Mirror Flower and Water Moon?"

Aizen shook his head helplessly, a hint of doubt that was hard to conceal flashed in his eyes. He had to accept this fact that made him a little depressed.

"It's okay to tell you. A realm has quietly formed around me, isolating myself from all interference from the world! In this unique realm, you and I are like two completely different dimensions. I think you can understand this, right?"

Lin Yu said this lightly, his tone revealing a hint of indifference. Although Aizen thought this sounded quite absurd, he couldn't seem to find a more reasonable explanation.

"There is one more crucial point, and that is my spiritual pressure is far superior to yours! No matter how powerful Jinghua Shuiyue is, it cannot control an existence that is more powerful than you!"

Lin Yu's eyes suddenly became indifferent, as if he had turned back into the killer who was ruthless to the Quincy a thousand years ago.

As the words fell, Lin Yu once again erupted with an immense spiritual pressure in the Soul Society after a thousand years. This spiritual pressure turned into a surging wave like a tidal wave, madly filling every corner of the Soul Society, plunging the entire Soul Society into a state of depression.

"Oh shit! Oh shit! Is the teacher going to go all out again?"

Rukia behind Lin Yu was immediately crushed by the spiritual pressure and couldn't move. She was in such a mess even though she had to bear it head-on, not to mention Ichimaru Gin and Aizen who were in front of her.

At this moment, under the impact of the spiritual pressure wave that surged like a tide, Ichimaru Gin instantly lost all his pride, and was like a loser thrown down by fate, and was pressed to the ground without any dignity.

His eyes were slightly vacant, but there was still a hint of self-mockery at the corner of his mouth. At this moment, he had completely given up resistance and allowed the violent spiritual pressure to sweep him away and devour him.

As for Aizen, his condition was slightly better than Ichimaru Gin, but not much better. He was seen tightly gripping the Zanpakutō in his hand, relying on the last bit of his stubborn will, and knelt on one knee with it.

Although he didn't lose his composure like Gin Ichimaru, his face couldn't hide the exhaustion and struggle. He strained his soul to mobilize all his spiritual pressure, as if to gather all his last strength to counter the overwhelming wave of spiritual pressure.

As the spiritual pressure surged, his previously upright body began to sway slightly, as if he would fall down again at any moment. Finally, he stood up tremblingly, but his standing posture was so unstable that his whole body seemed to be controlled by an invisible force and trembled uncontrollably.

The hand holding the knife was twitching wildly like a Parkinson's patient, as if the knife would slip from his hand if he exerted even a little force.

"Is this your true strength?"

Aizen's heart was filled with desperate cries. Since Lin Yu possessed such a powerful strength, why had he not attacked him for so long? And was he still playing him?

Is he deliberately hiding his strength, or is it really as he thought, just playing that cruel cat and mouse game with him?
