"Aizen, your power is impressive now—a significant improvent from before. But you still haven't managed to transcend the limits of a Soul Reaper. You're still missing sothing."
Shin addressed the imnsely powerful Aizen.
"Unfortunately, you can't even begin to pressure . I have to admit, I'm a little disappointed. I thought you might actually pose a challenge, but it seems I overestimated you."
His look of utter disappointnt made the surrounding Soul Reapers' mouths twitch uncontrollably. To say that posed no threat... was he just putting on an act, or was he truly that overwhelmingly powerful?
"Shin Uzumaki, I refuse to believe I can't even force you to get serious."
Aizen's face was a mask of indifference. If he couldn't even draw out his opponent's true strength, then Shin Uzumaki's power was beyond absurd.
With that, Aizen charged again, his speed even greater than before, approaching the very speed of light.
However, as Aizen closed in, Shin t him with a single, perfectly executed kick at the speed of light, sending him hurtling back, his body cracking and shattering from the impact.
It was too much. A single blow had wounded the newly evolved Aizen.
"He's ridiculously strong... I'm not sure even the old man could beat this guy if he went all out," Shunsui Kyōraku murmured, glancing at Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.
Yamamoto heard the comnt but offered no rebuttal.
To this day, no one had any idea what Shin's true trump cards were. Not even Yamamoto himself knew the depths of his power.
Shin had already demonstrated the ability to use the powers of other Zanpakutō. Could he, then, wield the power of Ryūjin Jakka?
The thought of Shin unleashing Ryūjin Jakka's Bankai was terrifying.
As its master, Yamamoto knew its devastating potential better than anyone. If that terrifying power were fully unleashed, destroying the world would be a simple matter. The more he thought about it, the more dangerous Shin Uzumaki seed.
He had to admit it—the man was a walking catastrophe, a threat of the highest order.
"Put so effort into it. Are you trying to tickle ? No, this doesn't even count as a tickle."
Shin's tone was flat. He was deliberately provoking Aizen, hoping to enrage him and draw out even greater power.
At that mont, Shin felt like he'd beco the archetypal final boss, goading the hero into unlocking his true potential just to make things interesting.
After all, Shin was eager to test the Hōgyoku's ability on himself, but without a credible threat, how could it evolve him and make him stronger?
Aizen's expressionless facade finally began to crack. Shin Uzumaki's strength had far exceeded his expectations. He had never imagined him to be this powerful. Now, Shin was showing him what true, unadulterated strength looked like.
He couldn't find a bottom to Shin Uzumaki's power; it was as if he had no limits at all.
Suppressed, constantly suppressed—Aizen's composure began to crumble.
He had believed that with the Hōgyoku, he could finally catch up to Shin Uzumaki, even surpass him. But this battle was proving that he had been far too optimistic.
The gap between them was still imnse.
""
Shin swung his blade, and a terrifying torrent of fire completely engulfed Aizen.
Shin had transford Hyōrinmaru's Shikai into Ryūjin Jakka. He hadn't even used its Bankai; the simple Shikai was enough to incinerate Aizen's body.
After reducing Aizen to ash with a single strike, Shin waited patiently for him to regenerate. Aizen's immortality was truly impressive.
"Can Aizen really co back from that?"
The Visored started to murmur amongst themselves.
"Even if he can, what's the point? He's just getting beaten down. I never thought I'd see Aizen in such a state... I almost feel sorry for the guy," Hiyori Sarugaki couldn't help but say.
She had once hated Aizen more than anyone, but now, she found him pitiful. Utterly, completely pitiful. He'd been beaten so badly he barely looked human.
No, he'd just been turned to ash.
But from those ashes, Aizen regenerated once more. This ti, he was even stronger, with three pairs of massive butterfly wings sprouting from his back.
The Hōgyoku had pushed him to a higher dinsion, beyond that of a Soul Reaper.
If the current Yamamoto were to face this Aizen, he would likely need to use his Bankai to win. Without it, the old man wouldn't last long.
"Aizen, you've gotten ugly."
Shin said to Aizen. His current form was a far cry from his previous one; he was evolving into sothing less than human...
"Was it worth it? To beco this hideous just for a bit more power?" Shin asked him.
"My appearance is aningless to ," Aizen replied, his voice calm and detached.
He didn't care how his appearance changed. At his level, such superficial concerns were beneath him.
Shin, however, couldn't relate. He would never sacrifice his looks for power, no matter how great. But then again, he had never lacked ways to grow stronger. With his Replication System, any power was within his grasp.
To everyone else, Shin was a cheater. How could you ever hope to defeat soone who was cheating?
From the very beginning, Aizen choosing Shin as his target was a mistake. He never should have aid so high.
"Feel my power."
Aizen's spiritual pressure alone was enough to make space itself shatter.
Yes, shattering space with spiritual pressure—this was the power that transcended the dinsion of a Soul Reaper. With this alone, Aizen had reached the absolute pinnacle of power in the Soul Reaper world.
"I never thought Aizen could be this terrifying... I doubt even the Captain Commander could defeat him easily now."
Observing from a distance, Shutara Senjumaru took a sharp breath. And there was no telling if this was Aizen's limit.
If Aizen continued to grow stronger, who could possibly stop him? Looking across the entire world, there might be no one.
Though Shin was currently dominating him, Aizen was evolving with every step. Could he eventually surpass Shin?
Perhaps Shin himself wasn't worried, but the others couldn't help but feel a sense of dread. If Aizen's power eclipsed Shin's, who would be left to stop him?
"The Hōgyoku might not have a limit, but you, Aizen, do," Shin said, looking at him calmly. In his eyes, Aizen's power was still well within his control.
He hadn't even reached his peak from the original story. If he reached that state, even a full-power Yamamoto might not be able to win.
But Aizen wasn't there yet. He still needed to be pushed.
