Chapter 234: No Moon, Broken Jade!
Of course, Xia Mu couldn't achieve this before.
Although his Bankai was also very terrifying at that time, and could modify and reverse things that happened within the range, allowing established facts to evolve again, it was also because the power of Bankai was too strong, so the consumption of Bankai at that time was also extremely terrifying. It was not until later when Natsuki's Zanpakutō evolved and his own spiritual power reached its extreme that this consumption gradually decreased. Natsuki could even keep himself in the standby state of Bankai for a long time and maintain his Bankai all the time.
But even so, the ability of Bankai has not reached the current level.
Within the range area, the definition of "mirror flowers and water moons are invalidated" is completely different from the previous reversal of what has happened or the definition of one's own existence.
Natsuki is the master of the Zanpakuto, so of course he can define his own existence in various ways.
This time, the definition involves other people, so that others can also enjoy the bonus brought by Natsuki's Zanpakuto.
This is the formulation of world rules.
Although this can only be done within a certain range.
But within this scope, Xia Mu is like an omniscient and omnipotent god!
Being able to achieve this level has a lot to do with the further integration of the power in Xia Mu's body.
The power of life, the power of death, combined with Xia Mu's own power.
In other words, use Xia Mu's own power to control the power of life and death.
After life and death are balanced, the balance of the world has been formed. As the being who controls this balance, Natsuki can make use of these two powerful forces, and then rely on the abilities brought by his Zanpakuto to further strengthen the ability to tamper with reality. What's the point of reversing what has already happened?
He could have made some rules so that those things wouldn't happen at all.
Countless attacks came towards Aizen.
Ichimaru Gin's Bankai caused great trouble to Aizen.
His body quickly dissolved under the effect of the cytotoxins, and during this process, he had no ability to resist further attacks.
Aizen could only try to activate the power of space to divert the attacks approaching him and avoid them temporarily.
Xia Mu redefined it.
"The power of time and space is ineffective!"
Unlike the "invalidation of Mirror Flowers and Water Moons", disabling the power of time and space is also a bit of a burden for Xia Mu. After all, disabling these two powers is equivalent to using his own power to block time and space. Xia Mu's face turned slightly paler, but he still chose to do it.
Naturally, another ability was banned, and the effect was also extremely significant.
Aizen was unable to deflect the attacks that fell on him and could only take them forcefully.
Boom boom boom! !
Aizen's body was like a piece of rag, shaking constantly in the air.
After Captain Yamamoto used the Zanka-dachi, he gave up the black mist state and chose to return to his true form, preparing to use Kyoka Suigetsu to control Captain Yamamoto. However, he did not expect that Kyoka Suigetsu was ineffective, which instead put Aizen into a worse situation.
Using the power of space is already a bit difficult.
After this power was neutralized, Ichimaru Gin's poison continued to wreak havoc.
Under the terrifying attack, Aizen's body was constantly annihilated and dissipated.
But his life still did not die.
In the previous battles, everyone in Soul Society had some understanding of Aizen's abilities. They knew that as long as Aizen was still alive, he could recover quickly with his ability that was far superior to super-fast regeneration. He was simply an indestructible cockroach.
Captain Yamamoto also knows this.
Therefore, at this time, he decisively used the most powerful killing move of the Zanka-dachi.
His figure instantly appeared in front of Aizen.
"The sky and the earth are ashes!"
With another move, the heaven and earth turned to ashes, and the sword without any flames fell on Aizen's body. Wherever it passed, time and space were burned.
Xia Mu was under tremendous pressure during this process.
But he still held on.
Aizen must be made to bear this blow from the captain-general.
No sound was heard. As the sky and earth turned to ashes, Aizen's body instantly turned to ashes and was annihilated.
Under the cell-dissolving toxin of Gin Ichimaru, he could only endure the blow.
……
"it's over?!"
Watching the annihilation of Aizen's body, feeling the complete disappearance of Aizen's spiritual pressure.
In Karakura Town, many Shinigami were staring in the direction where Aizen was.
Looking at Aizen's annihilation, they felt an extremely unreal feeling.
The confrontation with Aizen has lasted long enough.
From the Soul Society, to the official outbreak of the war in Hueco Mundo, to the current final battle in Karakura Town, the Gotei 13 and Aizen have clashed many times, and each time, neither of them ended up with anything good.
It can be said that Aizen is the most difficult enemy that the Gotei 13 has encountered over the years.
Aizen alone overturned the original order of Soul Society and even broke the balance.
Until this moment, Aizen died.
How is this not shocking?
“That’s… great.”
Someone murmured.
Some people cheered after the victory.
But there was no sign of relief on Xia Mu's face.
He looked somewhere.
"It's really hard to kill!"
A deep voice came out of Xia Mu's mouth.
Aizen had used such words to evaluate Natsuki before, and Natsuki had also responded to Aizen, and now, it has undoubtedly further confirmed such words.
Aizen is indeed a very difficult opponent to kill.
Even though Gin Ichimaru used the true power of Bankai, and even though Captain Yamamoto used Ash of Heaven and Earth, they were still unable to kill Aizen.
But if you think about it carefully, it's normal.
In the original work, Gin Ichimaru used this method against Aizen, but because of the Hogyoku, even though Aizen died at that time, he soon came back to life.
The ashes of heaven and earth fell on Aizen. Can he be killed?
This is uncertain.
But combined with the aura left in the ruins of Kyonyakū, there is no doubt that the captain-general at that time also used Bankai and may have also used Ashin of Heaven and Earth. But since Aizen is still alive, it can be seen that this trick did not have as great an effect on Aizen as imagined.
"Amazing, really amazing!"
A mass of white substance emerged in the air, and then darkness spewed out from it.
The darkness instantly turned into a cocoon, which then split open, revealing Aizen's body.
This is different from the previous Aizen who had wings behind him, several eyes on his head, and his whole body was covered with densely packed eyes. His mouth was cracked directly below his ears, and he looked weird and ferocious.
At this moment, Aizen has become a normal person.
Except for the addition of a vertical pupil between his eyebrows, he looked no different from before.
If we have to say something, it is probably that he doesn't look very good at the moment, his face is as pale as paper, and he is panting. It is obvious that he has kidney deficiency.
Aizen was panting, and instead of looking at the captain-general, his eyes fell on Natsuki.
Although the captain-general is very powerful, in Aizen's mind, the one who poses the greatest threat to him is always Natsuki.
If it weren't for Xia Mu, who relied on his Mirror Flowers and Water Moons and other abilities, these people wouldn't be able to do anything to him at all.
"If it wasn't for the captain's final help, breaking the ban you put on me, I'm afraid I would really die."
As he spoke, Aizen's smile became a little ferocious.
He almost died, but he could still smile.
All I can say is that for people like him, sometimes, approaching death is not something to be feared, but rather a rather novel experience.
Having said that, Aizen then looked towards the captain.
"Captain, please allow me to thank you for the second time!"
"The first time, it was because of you that I found myself again and was able to control that powerful force."
"This second time, it was also because of you that I was able to discard those useless powers in my body and only retain the most core abilities. Although I am temporarily weak, my realm has undoubtedly been improved again. This is all thanks to you!"
"You are worthy of being respected by all the Shinigami of the Gotei 13!"
Later on, Aizen changed the way he addressed Captain-General Yamamoto.
When Captain Yamamoto heard what Aizen said, his face didn't look very good.
Combined with what Aizen and Natsuki had said before, he understood very well that his own Ashes of Heaven and Earth had once again helped Aizen.
The terrifying killing move that was originally used to exterminate the enemy actually saved lives twice.
I have to say, this is a bit ironic.
But there was nothing he could do, because this was the first time he had ever encountered an enemy like Aizen in his life.
An enemy as difficult to kill as Aizen is rare in his life. Even Yhwach a thousand years ago was not so outrageous.
"Now, are you going to use that trick against me again?"
Aizen asked Captain-General Yamamoto again, and as he spoke, his tone changed again, no longer showing respect for Captain-General Yamamoto.
To kill someone is to kill one's heart.
Captain Yamamoto was silent. Although the power of the Ashes of Heaven and Earth was very strong, he was really not sure whether he could kill Aizen by continuing to use this move.
"Aizen, I am your opponent."
Just when Captain Yamamoto was silent.
Another figure flew out from the ground.
"Oh?"
Aizen looked at the newcomer with some surprise.
"I almost forgot about you."
"There are so many Shinigami out there, and even Yamamoto is willing to seal himself off to buy you some time. Have you completed your training now?"
Aizen looked at Ichigo Kurosaki, whose appearance had changed drastically, with a somewhat subtle expression.
Now Ichigo Kurosaki's orange hair has become extremely long and his appearance has become a little more mature. But what concerns Aizen the most is that Ichigo Kurosaki's Zanpakuto has grown together with his right arm. Aizen is not unfamiliar with this kind of thing.
After Jinghua Shuiyue's abilities were integrated into his body, he understood that the ultimate path for the god of death to evolve was to achieve the unity of man and sword.
Zanpakutō is a part of the soul of the god of death. It is a process of returning to oneself and completing oneself by becoming one with the god of death. Whether it is Shikai or Bankai, they are actually the manifestation of soul power with the help of a tool like a sword. But if this is the power of the soul, why do we need to use the so-called tool?
"If this is the result of your practice, it is really disappointing."
Aizen continued speaking.
He once had high hopes for Ichigo Kurosaki.
In the process of his search for the path of evolution, the birth of Ichigo Kurosaki was like a guiding light for Aizen.
The three powers of Death God, Hollow and Quincy merged into one, allowing Aizen to see the truth of the world.
He followed this path and completed the broken jade.
If nothing unexpected happens, his evolutionary direction is to seek the fusion of forces to break through boundaries.
It can be said that before the power of the "Hollow King" was revived, Ichigo Kurosaki had always been a very important person to Aizen.
He looked forward to Ichigo Kurosaki fully tapping his potential.
I also want to know how high Ichigo Kurosaki can go.
If not for this, it would not have been possible for him to intervene in Ichigo's life as a karate teacher when Kurosaki Ichigo was still a child, and later appear when Ichigo lost the power of the god of death and help Ichigo regain the power of the god of death.
But all this changed after Aizen obtained the power of the Hollow King.
The power of the Hollow King forced Aizen to change the direction of his evolution. Of course, the result was quite good.
He still gained incomparably powerful strength.
It was also because he embarked on a new path of evolution and his level was high enough that the arrogance in Aizen's heart inevitably grew rapidly. Ichigo Kurosaki, who he once regarded as a guiding light, now seemed to be nothing more than that in his eyes.
"Whether it disappoints you or not, you will know later."
Ichigo looked at Aizen with an equally complicated look.
Before entering Soul Society, Aizen was someone he respected very much.
It goes without saying that he was taught karate and some kendo knowledge when he was a child. When he lost his power as a Shinigami and was in the most desperate situation, it was Aizen who appeared and rekindled the hope in his heart and gave him a new power of the Shinigami. Even in the early stage of invading Soul Society, Aizen gave him a lot of help.
Until, at the Double Pole Hill, to the day of Rukia's execution.
Ichigo just now understood the true face of his teacher.
I just realized that I was just a person being used by the other party.
Angry? Confused? Lost?
There are all kinds of emotions.
But in the end, Ichigo gradually came out of these emotions.
No matter what Aizen's purpose is, his own beliefs have never wavered.
Ichigo wanted to protect the people he held dear.
He wanted to use this power to carry out his name.
After the incident with Akaneshizu, Karakura Town was peaceful for a while. Even if there were Hollows appearing in Karakura Town, they were dealt with by Ichigo. Just when he thought he could protect everything.
Disaster suddenly befell Karakura Town.
The arrival of Aizen brought a devastating blow to the city.
The entire city was destroyed because of the war between Aizen and the God of Death.
Although many lives were saved due to the efforts of the God of Death.
But the destruction of the city and the deaths of many people as a result are established facts.
So, from that time on, Ichigo strengthened his current belief.
We must, must defeat Aizen, the culprit who destroyed the city.
When his father showed up and many truths became clear, Ichigo began to practice under the guidance of his father.
After completing the final Crescent Moon Sky Strike, he finally understood why this was a forbidden technique.
"The so-called final crescent-shaped sky charge is to risk everything, use yourself as the crescent, and launch an ultimate attack on the enemy!"
"Aizen, even if I have to sacrifice all my strength, I will defeat you!"
A thought flashed through his mind, and Ichigo said this to Aizen.
Even though Natsuki appeared among them, and many Shinigami, with the help of Natsuki, ignored Aizen's mirror flower and water moon and launched a series of fierce attacks on Aizen, this did not change Ichigo's determination to protect.
"In that case, let me see your level."
Aizen spoke up.
Yamamoto couldn't kill him, but instead made him stronger.
Although the other Death Gods also have many methods, no matter how powerful they are, they cannot surpass Yamamoto's terrifying lethality.
Of course, Xia Mu is still an object worthy of fear.
But now, he claims to have evolved again. Although he is in a weak state, he is still able to deal with Natsuki's many methods. Therefore, he is willing to learn from Ichigo's training results. This can be regarded as a test of Ichigo by him as a teacher.
Natsuki felt Ichigo's determination and also understood some of Aizen's intentions.
So he said to the captain: "Captain, since that's the case, how about we just wait and see?"
Captain Yamamoto looked at Xia Mu in surprise.
"Ichigo is a man of miracles. Today, perhaps he can create another miracle."
miracle!
In a world with such a strict hierarchy, where everyone, whether it is Hollows, Shinigami, or Quincy, is strictly divided into different levels, it should be difficult for miracles to happen. However, there are always some unexpected characters who are born and create unprecedented feats.
Ichigo Kurosaki is such a miracle man.
Of course, if they want to create miracles, there are corresponding prerequisites, that is, they themselves have outstanding talents and extremely powerful potential.
The so-called creation of miracles is nothing more than tapping this potential.
To what extent can Ichigo Kurosaki tap into this potential?
Captain Yamamoto didn't know.
But he still didn't mind trusting Xia Mu.
Yes, it is to believe Natsuki, not Kurosaki Ichigo.
He was more willing to believe Natsuki than Ichigo Kurosaki, a human boy who had become a god of death not long ago.
Even though Aizen has repeatedly revealed extremely strange abilities, he is still so difficult to kill.
But when it came to Natsuki, Captain Yamamoto did not sense any panic. On the contrary, he felt that Aizen valued Natsuki.
Now that things have come to this, what trump card does Natsuki still have that can completely defeat Aizen?
While Captain Yamamoto was thinking, a soul-shaking power burst out from Ichigo's body.
Start by completing the last Crescent Moon Sky Chong.
It was as if Ichigo's spiritual pressure had disappeared, and he looked like an ordinary person.
But from the outside, he obviously doesn't look like an ordinary person, especially in this short period of time, his hair has been growing longer and longer, from just a little long at the beginning to waist-length now, which makes Ichigo look more mature.
Until this moment, this soul-trembling power broke out.
Captain-General Yamamoto and the Shinigami of the Gotei 13 below all felt this power.
This is not the kind of oppressive feeling that strong spiritual pressure brings to weak spiritual pressure.
It is another level of oppression, the suppression brought by the level of life.
The world of the god of death is a world that constantly seeks evolution and thus breaks through realms.
Aizen keeps talking about evolution, and it is obvious that Ichigo has now achieved evolution at the life level.
"This power!"
Aizen felt the power bursting out from Ichigo and his expression became serious.
Ichigo's power is still soaring, this is the catharsis before the final Getsuga Tensho bursts out.
The black power continued to surge out of his body, and his appearance continued to change. Bandages wrapped around his body, his hair turned black, and his eyes turned red. The biggest change was the Zanpakutō in Ichigo's hand.
The Zanpakuto that was originally integrated with the arm completely disappeared.
The black airflow swirled around and turned into a thin long line.
"No Moon!"
A deep voice came out from Ichigo's mouth.
The black crescent started from Ichigo's body and flew towards Aizen.
Wherever it passed, the sky and the earth lost their color, and all colors dimmed under this ultimate blow.
Aizen had felt the power bursting out from Ichigo before and took it a little more seriously, but that was all.
After all, even the terrifying power of Captain-General Yamamoto after his Bankai could not do anything to him.
He didn't think Ichigo could handle him.
Although Ichigo has great potential, the time he has been a Shinigami is too short. If Ichigo is given a few more years to grow, he may be able to become extremely powerful, but the current Ichigo, even if he has temporarily tapped some of his potential, is only so-so.
Until Aizen faced Mugetsu's power head-on.
All his resistance and all his strength were useless against this ultimate blow.
Although Aizen fell into a weak state due to his further evolution, the poison from Ichimaru Gin's cell-dissolving poison, and Captain-General Yamamoto's Zanka-dachi, this was not a reason for him to be unable to resist Mugetsu.
"Ahhhhh!!"
A scream came out of Aizen's mouth involuntarily.
His body and soul all trembled under this power, and then, they were passively destroyed under this power.
Facing yet another destruction of Aizen.
The Hogyoku in Aizen's body also used its own power to help Aizen revive again.
However, it seems that it is because Aizen's evolution was too frequent during this period.
Especially within this short period of time, it has evolved several times.
The last time he evolved, Aizen had not yet been able to fully adapt to his new power and had not yet recovered.
Even Beng Yu is powerless.
Finally, when the power of destruction comes.
The Hogyoku that had merged with Aizen completely shattered.
