Chapter 235: Go to hell!
The Hogyoku is hidden in Aizen's body and has merged into one with him.
Naturally, Aizen noticed its breakage, which was something he could not accept.
Because to Aizen, the Hogyoku has an extraordinary meaning.
He was gifted with extraordinary talent, and he easily reached the limit of an ordinary god of death. However, since then, no matter how hard he tried, he never made any progress, simply because the natural boundaries restricted his progress. His limit was there, and even if he tried his best, he could not break through it.
It was not until he created the Collapse Jade that he broke through the boundaries and entered a higher realm, and at the same time he appreciated a completely new landscape.
The existence of Beng Yu is like a powerful engine, constantly pushing him forward and giving him endless power.
In addition, whenever he was in desperate situation, it was Beng Yu who helped him out of danger.
Every time he escaped danger, Beng Yu helped him quickly adapt to the crisis and evolve again.
It can be said that although the way of evolution was later changed and the power of the Hollow King became Aizen's most important power, the Hogyoku played an irreplaceable role in it.
Now, the broken jade is gone.
A sense of confusion arose in Aizen's heart.
Is this the end of my evolutionary journey?
"how so?!"
Unwilling!
Still unwilling!
Aizen is a person who is unwilling to stand still. Now that the Hogyoku is gone, he really doesn't know what to do next.
What made him even more helpless was that Ichigo's Moonless power had not yet ended and was still pouring towards Aizen non-stop.
Aizen could only passively endure the impact of this terrifying force.
"!!!"
Aizen's body kept regenerating, yet kept disappearing.
Muzuki is a forbidden move that Ichigo performed by giving up all his power as a god of death. It is equivalent to squeezing out all of Ichigo's potential in an instant.
Indeed, the current level of Aizen's evolution is high enough, even surpassing that in the original work.
But after a series of battles, Aizen's condition was not good at all and he was in a weak state.
At this time, if he were to be hit by Wu Yue again, the result would be predictable.
"This is the end of arrogance!"
Natsuki stood next to the captain-general and commented on Aizen's behavior.
In the original work, Aizen over-evolved, and his state of mind had not yet kept up with the rapidly expanding power in his body, which led to his arrogance. He looked down on Ichigo who had completed the final Getsuga Sky Strike, and was severely taught a lesson by Mugetsu. He then fell into self-doubt, triggering the seal that Urahara Kisuke had put into his body, and was defeated.
The endless life thereafter made Aizen re-examine his inner self and settle his state of mind.
The Aizen in the original work was arrogant because of his over-evolution, let alone the current Aizen. He has evolved faster and at a higher level, so it is understandable that he looks down on Ichigo's power.
"Next, it's my turn to take action and put an end to Aizen once and for all!"
A deep voice came out of Xia Mu's mouth.
Captain Yamamoto suddenly looked at Xia Mu, "What are you going to do?"
As the captain-general of the Gotei 13, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni is extremely confident in his own abilities, and rarely seeks the opinions of others before making any decisions.
But when facing Aizen, Captain Yamamoto felt for the first time that he was willing but unable to do anything.
In terms of how difficult it is, Aizen is even more troublesome than Yhwach a thousand years ago.
He could at least defeat Yhwach through a head-on battle.
Although he failed to completely kill Yhwach, he at least made him quiet for a thousand years.
But Aizen is not like that.
Can't be killed, can't be killed at all.
"Of course, send him to hell and let him leave this world."
"Captain, you are not thinking of imprisoning Aizen in the Underworld if you cannot kill him, right?"
"I don't think Mujian can hold Aizen captive."
Captain Yamamoto's eyes narrowed.
He really thought so.
Maybe it is impossible to kill Aizen, but as long as he can be defeated and then imprisoned in the lowest level of the underground prison, the matter concerning Aizen will be over.
As a result, Xia Mu gave a different opinion.
Aizen can’t be locked up in the Underworld. Are you kidding me?
Captain Yamamoto subconsciously wanted to refute Xia Mu's words.
But when I thought about it, Xia Mu had once stayed in Wujian for a period of time, so he had some understanding of Wujian.
Maybe that place really couldn't hold Aizen.
As for what Natsuki said about sending Aizen to hell.
Captain Yamamoto quickly understood why Natsuki said that.
When the aftermath of Wu Yue has not completely dissipated.
Xia Mu's body suddenly flew out and came to the top of the sky above Aizen.
He swung the Zanpakuto in his hand, and a strange force full of death burst out. The next moment, the sky began to twist, and a door slowly condensed under Xia Mu's feet.
After seeing this door, a sharp look emerged in Captain Yamamoto's somewhat turbid eyes.
The many Grim Reapers below also looked at the door with horror.
"This door is..."
Someone finally recognized what the door was through identification and recollection.
"Door of hell!"
There were also Death Gods who thought of the gate that once towered over the Tsunayashiro family in the noble street.
In order to break free from hell, the ancestor of Tsunamiyo once summoned the Gate of Hell. With the help of the Gate of Hell, he took the lives of many gods of death. With the help of those sacrifices, that guy almost opened the Gate of Hell and returned from hell completely.
Even though it failed in the end, the sudden appearance of the gate to hell was still shocking.
For some older Grim Reapers, that is something they can never forget.
"Captain Xia Mu, you actually summoned the Gate of Hell?" Some people's focus was so different that they didn't care about the Gate of Hell, they only cared that it was summoned by Xia Mu.
"The power of hell..." Unohana Retsu murmured softly.
Although she was quite far away, she noticed the aura of despair and death emanating from Xia Mu.
That is not the power that the world of the living should possess.
"What on earth happened to you?"
"Or, where have you been during this time?"
Unohana Retsu has always been a thoughtful person. She instinctively understands some things and guesses some truths.
Captain Yamamoto also looked at Xia Mu with a complicated expression.
The gate of hell quickly formed.
When Ichigo Mutsuki's power was fully released, when he could hardly even stand in the air and fell from the sky involuntarily, and was then caught by his father Kurosaki Isshin, Aizen, who was against Ichigo, was also panting and in a miserable state.
Although the Collapse Jade was destroyed, the power of the Collapse Jade's core was integrated into his body. What was destroyed was only the appearance of the Collapse Jade and its will.
Aizen's own evolution is real.
Even in a weakened state, he still managed to withstand Ichigo's Mutsuki. Of course, he also fell into a deeper level of weakness.
Once again struggling back from the brink of death.
The confusion in Aizen's heart also dissipated a little.
He was about to make a bold statement to Ichigo, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, Natsuki and others, declaring that he was an immortal being.
At this moment, black chains suddenly fell from above and wrapped around Aizen's body.
"This is?"
Aizen's expression suddenly changed slightly. He wanted to break free from the black chains, but it was difficult to do so. Above these black chains, there was a power that made all things wither. His struggling strength was directly dissolved by this power.
"Aizen, just go to hell!"
Natsuki's voice sounded above Aizen's head.
Aizen looked up, only to see the Gate of Hell towering above his head.
The black chains kept pulling his body upwards.
Aizen struggled continuously, trying to break free from this pull, but ended in failure.
On the Gate of Hell, Natsuki sat on top of it with his Zanpakuto placed across his knees. The powerful force hidden in Natsuki's body supported the existence of the Gate of Hell and constantly dissolved Aizen's resistance.
Under Aizen's unwilling gaze.
His figure was completely pulled to the gate of hell.
Then, the gates of hell opened, and the breath of death gushed out from it. Aizen's power was instantly infected by the power of hell, which made it even more difficult for him to escape the pull of hell.
"No!"
These were Aizen's last words. The next moment, his figure was completely pulled into the Gate of Hell, and the Gate of Hell closed with a dull sound.
Then, it gradually faded and disappeared into the air.
Only the faint breath of hell lingering in the sky seemed to confirm the existence of the Gate of Hell.
Silence became the main atmosphere of Karakura Town.
As Aizen was pulled into the gate of hell, the gate of hell disappeared again.
Many death gods find this ending hard to believe.
They fought hard for a long time, and Aizen, who had once plunged them into despair, was defeated just like that?
How could he lose so easily?
Aizen was pulled into hell, it shouldn't be easy for him to get out.
No, it should be said that it is impossible to escape from hell.
In other words, the matter of Aizen has come to an end.
The next moment, the temperature in Karakura Town suddenly dropped. It was Captain-General Yamamoto who released his Bankai state.
The drop in temperature also calmed down many of the Grim Reapers.
Finally, someone cheered first, and after that, more people cheered as well.
They began to truly celebrate this victory.
……
Hell, this is a world of despair.
There are eight cold and eight hot hells, and the environments in the sixteen hells are different, but despair is everywhere in them.
The ancestors of the five great nobles are still stranded on the plains of the Scorching Hell.
It's been a while since Xia Mu escaped from hell.
But their mood did not improve.
I don’t know how many years have passed since I fell into hell.
They thought they had gotten used to this desperate world, but suddenly one day, the hope of escaping hell was right before their eyes, but it slipped away before their eyes. They could only watch this happen, and you can imagine how bad they felt.
Naturally, in this process, the founder of the Shiba family, who played an ignominious role, was inevitably hostile to the other four people.
It was the willful behavior of the founder of the Shiba family that caused the five of them to fall into hell at the same time.
In the beginning, they also hated the Shiba ancestor.
But later, as time passed and they gradually got used to the environment in hell, this hatred gradually disappeared.
After all, we can't leave hell, so we can only find ways to adapt to it.
Unexpectedly, the Shiba ancestor had adapted to hell on the surface, but secretly wanted to escape from hell.
Although he had discovered that special living being, he secretly hid it from them and wanted to escape from hell on his own.
By the time they discovered this, it was too late.
The living being escaped from their control and fled from Hell.
From this point of view, it is a good thing.
After all, Shiba, that selfish guy, hasn't left hell either.
But thinking about themselves, the other four ancestors still felt resentful.
Even if you want to leave hell, you can talk about it. The five of us have worked together since the beginning of time. What can't we talk about? We even forgive you for bringing the four of us into hell.
As long as you reveal the matter of that living person to us in advance, we will have it in our hands, and we may be able to open the way back to the world of spirits.
Even if only one person can go back at the beginning, as long as there is a reliable person who goes back and then opens a passage from the spirit world, the other four people can be brought back.
But such an opportunity was missed.
"It's all your fault, it's all your fault!"
The four ancestors madly accused the Shiba ancestor.
In addition to the fact that the Shiba ancestor initially concealed the news, one of the reasons was that the Shiba ancestor later obstructed them from capturing Natsuki.
Facing the accusations of the four people, the Shiba ancestor remained expressionless and looked unconcerned.
When he dragged these people into hell, he was also criticized by these guys.
Just as the four ancestors were accusing the Shiba ancestor on the plain, a force that they were familiar with suddenly swept out.
"Is this the breath of the gate of hell opening?"
The ancestors of the four great nobles, without saying a word, quickly headed towards the place where the gate to hell was opened.
Although I don't know why the gate of hell opened.
But they had an illusion that this might be related to the living person who had previously escaped from hell.
The Shiba ancestor watched the four ancestors leave.
After thinking about it, I finally decided not to follow.
He and these guys were destined to be different people, so why should he follow the past? Should he continue to accept their accusations?
It’s better to go home and sleep with this time.
When the ancestor of the four great nobles quickly rushed to the gate of hell, he saw a figure falling from the gate of hell and appearing in hell.
After he came to hell, the chains wrapped around him also disappeared.
Because of his own weakness, Aizen instinctively absorbed the aura of hell around him.
In an instant, the power of hell completely permeated it.
Aizen also felt the changes in his body.
But he had no choice.
At this moment, four powerful auras attacked.
One of them, after seeing Aizen, showed a surprised expression, "It's you?"
The one who spoke was none other than the ancestor of Tsunayashiro.
He once borrowed the body of his junior and put part of his soul into Soul Society. During that period, he met an interesting god of death in Rukongai. He had planned to recruit the god as his subordinate after he completely returned from hell, but many accidents happened later and he was unable to complete this task.
Now, after seeing Aizen, he recognized him the first time.
……
Although Aizen was exiled to hell by the Hell Gate summoned by Natsuki.
But it doesn't mean everything is over.
The next most important thing is to deal with the aftermath.
Although the war between him and Aizen was not particularly long, the battlefield was shifted one after another.
The mess in Soul Society itself has not been completely cleaned up, and now it has spread to Hueco Mundo and the real world.
There is no need to say much about Hueco Mundo. First, the Great Hollow Forest was destroyed due to Natsuki's means, countless Hollows died, and their souls entered reincarnation. The balance between Hueco Mundo and Soul Society was already showing signs of being broken. After that, the power of the Hollow King in Aizen's body was enhanced, further aggravating the destruction of the balance.
With Aizen devouring most of the Ten Espadas, and many powerful Hollows perishing in the process of the Soul Society expedition, there are now only a few that can be called powerful Hollows in the Hueco Mundo, or almost none.
This is not a good thing.
Why did Soul Society in the past allow the existence of Hueco Mundo?
Why did they allow Hueco Mundo to exist when they clearly had an overwhelming advantage over it, and not simply wipe out all the Hollows in Hueco Mundo?
Instead, they allowed the Hollows to continue attacking Soul Society, and allowed some Shinigami to die in the battles with the Hollows?
Some things are not impossible to do, but they cannot be done.
All of this is for the balance of the world itself.
Compared to the life and death of some death gods, the world itself is something more important.
Because this world came into being first, and then there was a world where the god of death existed.
Now that the war is over, it's time to deal with some balancing acts.
The reason why no one cared about balance before was because Aizen's existence itself was a greater crisis than the destruction of the world's balance. If Aizen was left alone, the entire world might be destroyed directly.
Once the balance is broken, it will take time for the world to fall into crisis.
Of course, the crisis we are facing now needs to be addressed more than the crisis that takes time.
In addition to the problems in Hueco Mundo, there are also many troubles in the real world that need to be dealt with.
Karakura Town, the human city that was also known as the Jurei Land, was completely destroyed because of the war.
Although the God of Death is a life form in the spirit world and an existence in the instrument world, they are people from two different worlds and can be completely ignored. Although the entire city was destroyed this time and the commotion was quite big, people in the present world can always find some excuses and use scientific means to explain this disaster.
But the reason why Karakura Town became like this is ultimately related to the God of Death.
It's a bit unreasonable to just leave it alone.
Furthermore, because the humans in this world cannot remain unconscious for too long, Karakura Town must be repaired as soon as possible.
Therefore, the first thing to do after the war is to repair the city.
For the Soul Society, this is not a difficult task. In the original work, in order to fight the war with Aizen, the Soul Society used special means to build a one-to-one fake Karakura Town. After Aizen came to the human world, he directly used the power of the barrier to transform the entire Karakura Town.
The world of instruments is much more fragile than the world of spirits. Even the human body can be easily created by the god of death. Compared with something as difficult as artificial corpses, it is not difficult to restore the destroyed buildings by imitating the original Karakura Town.
time flies.
When the humans in Karakura Town slowly woke up.
They were stunned at first.
I immediately realized some changes.
It seemed like I had slept for a long time.
Someone else found out that their loved ones had died.
Then, the memories in my mind began to revive.
"Oh, it turns out that before this, there was an explosion in the gas pipeline underground in the city, and then the gas leaked, and many people died of poisoning."
After figuring out the cause of the incident, some people whose relatives had died immediately fell into grief.
As for the restored city, some places are different from the original ones, and some are in a damaged state, which is perfectly explained by the reason of gas explosion.
In Soul Society.
Xia Mu is drinking.
After staying in hell for a while, he returned to Soul Society and realized more and more how precious it was to be alive.
In the past, he didn't like drinking, but compared to hell where there was no alcohol at all, drinking a little didn't seem like a big deal.
He also knew about the aftermath of Karakura Town.
I can't help but feel some sighs in my heart.
"This method of modifying other people's memories is really terrifying."
In the original work, whether it was Rukia becoming Ichigo's classmate or the people from Hitsugaya's advance team sneaking into Ichigo's school, the ordinary students and even the teachers did not notice anything wrong. When they left the school, these people no longer existed in their memory.
It can be seen that Soul Society, or the God of Death, has mastered the ability to modify human memories.
Of course, this memory modification is for ordinary people.
For those humans who possess spiritual power, it seems that their memories are very difficult to be completely tampered with, especially the stronger the spiritual power, the more difficult it is to rewrite.
However, even so, Xia Mu couldn't help but sigh.
"Although modifying human memory is a great thing, it is still impossible to change a person's character or erase the evil in their nature. If it is possible to erase even human desires, that would be truly terrifying. At that time, because there would be no desires, even if the human died, it would be impossible for him to evolve into a Hollow."
In front of Xia Mu, another figure expressed a different opinion.
