Get up and keep fighting!
asshole!
I'm going to poke three thousand holes all over your body!
"Stop it."
Captain-Commander Yamamoto's deep, weathered voice suddenly rang out, and everyone's faces turned solemn.
No matter how angry he was, Gin Ichimaru wouldn't be so foolish as to disobey Captain-Commander Yamamoto's orders. However, having lost face today, he couldn't stay any longer, so he turned and left.
Kyoraku Shunsui walked to Chu Yang's side and carefully examined him. He had witnessed the entire battle just now and was somewhat shocked.
Even without his Bankai, Gin Ichimaru remains the captain of the Third Division. Even a Shinigami of the vice-captain level couldn't fight him for so long.
But this kid in front of me actually managed to do it!
How did he manage to dodge such a swift and powerful attack from a sharpshooter?
Kyoraku Shunsui was very curious.
"Teacher, how should we handle this traveler's misfortune?"
Kyoraku Shunsui looked up at Yamamoto.
"He trespassed into the Soul Society and caused such a huge mess in the Seireitei. Even if he surrenders, he cannot be let off easily. Lock him up and hand him over to the Central 46 for trial after Rukia's execution!"
Before leaving, the captain gave Chu Yang a deep look.
Then, surrounded by death, he turned and left.
"The old man seems quite interested in you," Kyoraku Shunsui whispered.
Chu Yang smiled and said, "There's nothing we can do about it; top students are always popular."
Seeing Chu Yang's optimism, Kyōraku Shunsui was taken aback. "Aren't you afraid?"
Chu Yang shrugged. "Being afraid is useless. We can't beat you anyway. So why waste our energy on such useless emotions?"
Kyoraku Shunsui nodded and said, "You make a good point. You really are an interesting fellow."
Just as the two finished speaking, Kaname Tosen, the captain of the Ninth Division in charge of managing the prison, walked up to Chu Yang and said, "Get up. Come with me to the prison. Let me remind you, don't have any other ideas, or you'll die."
Chu Yang glanced at Dong Xianyao but didn't respond. If he really wanted to run, the Grim Reaper here might not be able to catch him.
Chu Yang obediently followed Dong Xian to the prison, not intending to cause any trouble. As long as he quietly waited for the plot to end, his goal would be achieved.
As for Aizen's conspiracy, or his deal with Kisuke Urahara, they were all beyond his control, and he couldn't interfere.
Chu Yang knew Urahara Kisuke's intentions, and he also knew Aizen's conspiracy.
Both of them were after the Hogyoku hidden within Rukia's soul.
This was originally a product that Kisuke Urahara accidentally obtained during an experiment, but it possesses the ability to break the limits of Shinigami power.
Aizen has been researching how to break through the limits of a Shinigami.
There is only one answer—that is, the Hollowfication of the Shinigami.
The Hollowfication of Shinigami and the Shinigami transformation of Hollows—if a balance can be achieved between these two powers, one can transcend the limits of Shinigami power.
The only thing that could make Aizen do this was the Hogyoku.
The Hogyoku possesses self-awareness and can absorb the hearts of things around it and materialize them.
Simply put, the Hogyoku can grant any wish you have in your heart, but of course there are limits. It's not that you can just make a wish and the Hogyoku will fulfill it.
In addition, the Hogyoku can also protect the host's physical body from death and destruction.
When the host's power reaches its limit or their life is threatened, the Hogyoku will prompt the host to evolve to a higher level.
In the event of an accident during the Hollowfication process, the Hogyoku can ensure Aizen's safety.
only……
Both the Hogyoku developed by Aizen and the Hogyoku developed by Kisuke Urahara were only semi-finished products, unusable, extremely unstable, and very dangerous.
That's why Kisuke Urahara hid the Hogyoku he had researched into Rukia's soul.
Even Rukia's arrival in the human world and her transfer of Shinigami powers to Ichigo Kurosaki—the entire incident bears the shadow of Kisuke Urahara.
Kisuke Urahara gave Rukia a prosthetic body that has the effect of dissolving spiritual power. The user will gradually lose spiritual power until they become an ordinary person.
He wanted to strip Rukia of her Shinigami powers, turn her into a human, and thus hide the Hogyoku, preventing it from being obtained by those who coveted it.
Meanwhile, Aizen realized Urahara Kisuke's intentions.
Therefore, after killing the sage of the Central Chamber 46, he used the power of the Mirror Flower Water Moon to hypnotize everyone who entered and left the place, and then issued false orders.
He used a false order to get Byakuya Kuchiki and Renji Abarai to bring Rukia back to Soul Society and execute her.
If Rukia is struck by the powerful force of the Sōkidai, the Hōgyoku within her body will appear.
In fact, Chu Yang had also considered taking the Hogyoku, but at this stage he was not able to snatch it from Urahara Kisuke and Aizen, so he could only watch from the sidelines.
Given Aizen's intelligence, he would have noticed even the slightest unusual movement from Chu Yang.
Chu Yang didn't know what the situation would become at that time.
But he knew he would die before everyone else.
Aizen is very strong.
At one point, he even overshadowed Captain-Commander Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, who had held the title of strongest Shinigami for a thousand years.
Aizen's Zanpakuto, Kyoka Suigetsu, is an illusion-type Zanpakuto with abilities that can be described as overpowered.
Once the target has seen the Shikai of Kyoka Suigetsu even once, their five senses will be controlled, allowing Aizen to manipulate them at will.
What you see is always what Aizen wants you to see; even knowing you're hypnotized, you can't wake up.
How would you describe the extent to which this ability is bugged?
In terms of effect, it's like a weaker version of Infinite Tsukuyomi, but it has no limitations, so Aizen can use it whenever he wants.
Aside from his Zanpakuto being incredibly powerful, Aizen's four abilities as a Shinigami—Sword Technique, Hakuda, Shunpo, and Kido—are all at the highest level among Shinigami, and very few can compare to him.
Anyone with a brain wouldn't provoke such a terrifying guy.
If Chu Yang wants to fight Aizen, he must obtain the Six Paths Sage Mode with the Rinnegan, and may even need to eat the fruit of the Divine Tree.
In short, now is not the time to have a direct confrontation with Aizen.
As I said before, problems that the protagonist can solve are not really problems, so Chu Yang doesn't need to risk his life.
As long as you can survive this battle and seize enough benefits, it's a sure-fire way to make money.
In the crowd, Renji Abarai, the vice-captain of the Sixth Division and Rukia's childhood friend, watched as Kaname Tosen took Chu Yang away.
Then, under the cover of night, he secretly went to the Penitentiary where Rukia was imprisoned and informed them of Ichigo and his group's whereabouts.
Upon hearing this, Rukia, who was usually expressionless, showed a look of panic for the first time after learning that Ichigo and the others had come to Soul Society to rescue her.
She originally left the human world and voluntarily returned to Soul Society to be punished in order to avoid implicating Ichigo.
"Among them, there was a traveler named Yang who had already been imprisoned by Dongxian. If there hadn't been no casualties, he probably would have been taken to the Palace of Repentance."
Renji Abarai recalled the previous battle and couldn't help but sigh, "I have to say, that guy was pretty amazing. He managed to hold his own against Gin Ichimaru for so long. They fought from morning until evening, and when Gin was finally exhausted, that guy actually gave up..."
Rukia didn't react for a moment. "Who are you saying is fighting Gin Ichimaru?"
Renji asked in confusion, "Don't you know someone named Yang?"
"I know him... but..." Rukia suddenly remembered the scene of him fighting Hollows with his bare hands, and after a long pause, she finally said, "I didn't expect him to get stronger again."
Renji nodded and said, "He is indeed quite strong. Without his Zanpakuto, he was able to fight Gin Ichimaru to this extent. If he were not human but a Shinigami, he would probably be a captain-level figure by now."
Rukia fell silent.
Chapter 90: Aizen's Invitation
90.
While Rukia and Renji were talking about Chu Yang, Chu Yang, who was imprisoned, received an unexpected guest.
The newcomer had short brown hair, wore black-rimmed glasses, and always had a smile on his face with gentle eyes.
His gentle demeanor seemed somewhat incongruous with his identity as the Grim Reaper.
Based on his first impression alone, Chu Yang guessed the person's identity.
Aizen Sosuke!
What is he doing here?
Chu Yang instantly became alert. Of all the people he wanted to encounter on this trip to Soul Society, the one he least wanted to run into was the man in front of him.
"Don't be so nervous."
Aizen smiled slightly and introduced himself, "My name is Aizen Sousuke, and I am the captain of the 5th Division of the Gotei 13. May I ask how I should address you?"
"Yang," Chu Yang asked, "Why would the dignified Captain of Death come to see me, a prisoner, in jail?"
Aizen replied, "Because you have that value."
