Yamada Seinosuke watched Aaron's disappearing figure, a faint worry etched on his face.
At that moment, a dark silhouette appeared beside him.
It was Ōetsu Nimaiya, who had left the Phoenix Palace earlier.
Glancing at the bewildered Seinosuke, he swiftly moved to the fallen Zanpakutō on the ground.
Examining the cracks along the blade, Nimaiya murmured with a hint of curiosity,
"To think it was possible to split an already reforged Zanpakutō... His strength is becoming more and more unfathomable."
When Nimaiya was still in the Phoenix Palace, he had already sensed Aaron's Reiatsu from afar.
Though they hadn't seen each other in centuries, he understood that Aaron was not in any real danger.
After all, in his eyes, Aaron had already been a top-tier powerhouse a hundred years ago.
He smiled, shook his head, picked up the Zanpakutō, and then walked toward Seinosuke.
Fifth Division Barracks
Aizen stood up hurriedly and stepped into the courtyard. With a calm demeanor, he gazed in the direction of the Shino Academy, a faint smile playing on his lips.
At that moment, Hinamori Momo followed him outside.
Feeling the immense Reiatsu from afar, she looked nervously at Aizen's back.
"Hinamori, don't worry. Everything will be fine," Aizen reassured her with a gentle smile.
Suddenly, a massive blue Reiatsu net formed above the First Division barracks.
Chōjirō Sasakibe's voice echoed across Seireitei:
"Attention, all squads! Attention, all squads!
This is Chōjirō Sasakibe!
Under Captain Yamamoto's orders, the following announcement is being made:
A battle has just taken place at the Shino Academy.
Preliminary investigations suggest that the principal offender is Aaron, a fugitive of Soul Society.
All division captains are ordered to assemble in the First Division conference hall immediately."
"Captain Aizen, is he really as terrifying as the legends say?" Hinamori asked curiously.
Aizen nodded slightly, replying, "He is indeed formidable, but you need not worry. Everything will be fine."
He then turned, adding, "I must go now. The Captain-Commander is surely waiting."
Hinamori watched as Aizen departed and murmured to herself, "Captain Aizen..."
After following Tsunayashiro into the Garganta, Aaron found himself quickly traversing the dim, shifting space.
Before long, he arrived in Hueco Mundo.
Tokinada, who had been fleeing moments ago, came to a halt and slowly turned around.
"I never expected you to actually follow me."
Instead of responding, Aaron wordlessly raised his Zanpakutō and vanished into an afterimage, charging at Tokinada.
Boom!
With a thunderous impact, Tokinada was sent flying backward.
"Tch."
With a quiet scoff, Aaron slashed again, sending a black blade arc toward Tokinada, who had barely regained his footing.
"Manifest! Kyūten Kyōkoku!" Tokinada whispered coldly.
As he spoke, an enormous mirror materialized in front of him.
The incoming black energy vanished upon contact with the mirror's surface.
Aaron frowned slightly at the sight before him but wasted no time, rushing forward again in an afterimage.
Just as he was about to close in, a black sword slash erupted from the mirror, hurtling toward him.
"Hmph."
Aaron snorted, raising his Zanpakutō in defense.
A deafening impact sent him skidding back several meters before he stabilized himself.
Tokinada smirked from a distance, gripping his Zanpakutō tightly before swinging it forward.
At that moment, a colossal monster materialized beside him.
It was Yanma's Bankai, transformed into a massive, Menos Grande-like abomination.
"Roar...!"
With an ear-splitting bellow, a gray tornado surged toward Aaron.
"Hahaha! Surprised? The real fun is just beginning!" Tokinada laughed maniacally.
"Mimic! Kyūten Kyōkoku!"
He waved his Zanpakutō again, sending dozens of slashes in Aaron's direction.
Green energy crackled around Tokinada's sword, distorting the space around him.
A crescent-shaped flame arc materialized, shooting toward Aaron at incredible speed.
Almost immediately, a massive ice dragon formed in the air and followed in pursuit, entwining with the flames.
Tokinada's eyes gleamed with excitement as he unleashed another barrage of attacks.
"A genius from Rukongai? You have no idea how terrifying the royal bloodline can be!"
Boom!
A series of violent explosions erupted where Aaron stood.
Flames, ice dragons, razor-sharp energy blades, and swirling sakura petals rained down, reducing the battlefield to rubble.
The monstrous Bankai, encased in gray tornadoes, rushed into the debris.
Tokinada watched with glee, his twisted laughter echoing across the battlefield.
"The so-called greatest genius of Soul Society? What a joke!"
"Kyūten Kyōkoku! Replicate every ability I have ever witnessed!"
"DIE! DIE! Hahahaha!"
Tokinada's hysterical shrieks grew wilder, his once composed face now contorted with madness.
Yet, as he continued his rampage, a figure quietly appeared behind him.
"This Zanpakutō is quite impressive."
Tokinada's blood ran cold.
He turned around slowly, only to see Aaron standing before him, smiling.
Nearly collapsing in fear, he stammered, "H-How… How is this possible?!"
Before he could finish, a massive wave of spiritual pressure bore down on him from above.
As he instinctively looked up, he was instantly swallowed by the overwhelming shadow of Aaron's blade.
With Tokinada's death, a system prompt echoed in Aaron's mind.
