Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Reiatsu x30,000!

Ding! Congratulations to the host for acquiring the Zanpakutō: Nine Heavens Mirror Valley!

Ding! Congratulations to the host for unlocking the Shikai ability of Nine Heavens Mirror Valley: Reflection!

Ding! Congratulations to the host for unlocking the Bankai ability of Nine Heavens Mirror Valley: Mirror Mimicry!

At that moment, after completely absorbing Tokinada's Reiatsu, Aaron finally understood why his opponent's Zanpakutō had such an unusual ability.

During their battle, the reflective properties of Nine Heavens Mirror Valley's Shikai nearly put him at a severe disadvantage.

After blocking the reflection attack, he retrieved a Hollow Mask from the system inventory and donned it.

Before Tokinada could activate his Bankai, Aaron had already leaped into the air, silently observing how Tokinada would launch his next attack.

After witnessing his opponent's Zanpakutō unleash several distinct techniques, he began to discern its mechanics.

However, despite Tokinada possessing such a formidable Zanpakutō, he lacked sufficient strength to fully harness Nine Heavens Mirror Valley's potential.

Ding! Would you like to absorb the dropped Zanpakutō and its corresponding abilities?

Upon success, all the attributes and abilities of the absorbed target will be acquired!

Previously, after Ichimaru Gin was slain, the system had completely assimilated the essence of Shinsō, granting its abilities to the host.

Now, what would happen if Nine Heavens Mirror Valley was absorbed?

This thought filled Aaron with anticipation.

As Aaron focused his mind within his Zanpakutō's inner world, an eerie sound echoed through the space.

Turning toward the source of the noise, he was momentarily speechless.

Before him stood Taotie, a massive beast holding a towering mirror in its claws, devouring it with great relish.

Noticing Aaron's gaze, Taotie let out a satisfied growl before finishing the mirror in a few swift bites as though it were nothing more than a fragile biscuit.

"Thank you, my lord!"

The monstrous voice reverberated through the space like thunder.

Aaron's brow twitched slightly, nodding awkwardly before withdrawing from the inner world of his Zanpakutō.

As soon as Taotie devoured Nine Heavens Mirror Valley, its abilities became instantly clear to Aaron.

Reflection was straightforward—it rebounded all attacks directed at it.

Mirror Mimicry, on the other hand, allowed Aaron to replicate any Zanpakutō ability he had witnessed before.

The effectiveness of both abilities depended entirely on the user's Reiatsu—the stronger his Reiatsu, the greater their power.

And the opposite was equally true.

Recalling Tokinada's utter defeat, Aaron shook his head slightly.

Nine Heavens Mirror Valley had been completely wasted in the hands of someone so weak.

But there was nothing to be done—Tokinada simply lacked the Reiatsu to wield it properly.

Aaron hadn't expected to gain such an incredible ability during this journey.

Contemplating for a moment, he raised his Zanpakutō to test his newfound power.

Seireitei – First Division Meeting Hall

The atmosphere within the meeting room was tense and silent.

Yamamoto Genryūsai slowly opened his eyes, surveying the captains standing before him before speaking in a deep voice:

"In just one day, two major incidents have occurred."

"These are dangerous times. First, members of the Gotei 13 unlawfully transferred spiritual energy to humans in the World of the Living, resulting in their executions."

"And now, another crisis has arisen."

"As the Head Captain, it is my duty to take responsibility."

"However, Central 46 has left this decision to us."

"If you have any opinions, speak freely."

Byakuya Kuchiki stood impassively, furrowing his brow slightly at the mention of an execution.

Meanwhile, Retsu Unohana remained silent, her expression laced with concern.

At that moment, Sajin Komamura, a towering figure in his wolf-like mask, stepped forward, bowed deeply, and declared,

"I will follow the Head Captain's command."

Jūshirō Ukitake, his face pallid, coughed lightly before glancing at Shunsui Kyōraku beside him, hesitating to speak.

Aizen Sōsuke observed the proceedings calmly, a flicker of intrigue dancing in his eyes.

After a long pause, all eyes turned back to Yamamoto, who had closed his eyes once more, deep in contemplation.

Hueco Mundo – A Vast Desert

Aaron brandished his Zanpakutō, launching a relentless series of attacks.

He stood upon a serene azure lake, cherry blossoms drifting gently around him.

Suddenly, a crimson wall of flames surged forth, encircling him.

From the lake below, a spectral white manta ray emerged, gliding soundlessly through the air.

Aaron nodded in satisfaction before sheathing his Zanpakutō.

At that moment, the unusual phenomena surrounding him vanished.

A Senkaimon materialized before him, and he stepped through without hesitation.

After a burst of radiant light, he found himself in Mao Shiyaoyuan.

Earlier, due to his pursuit of Tsunayashiro Tokinada, he hadn't had the chance to retrieve the loot dropped upon his opponent's death.

Disguised by his Hollow Mask, the temporary Shinigami patrols failed to notice his presence.

Just then, a system notification appeared in his mind.

"Ding! A nearby loot box has been detected. Would you like to open it?"

Glancing at the Shinigami guarding the scene, Aaron responded decisively.

"Open."

Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Reiatsu x50,000!

Ding! Congratulations to the host for acquiring the Still Blood Suit!

Ding! Congratulations to the host for acquiring the Blood Veil!

After looting Yan Mi's spoils, Aaron quietly left Mao Shiyaoyuan.

To his mild disappointment, there was no Zanpakutō among the acquired items.

Originally, he had hoped to let Taotie enjoy another feast, but that was no longer an option.

However, considering that Taotie now possessed the abilities of Nine Heavens Mirror Valley, it wasn't a significant loss.

After all, Taotie was a game-breaking existence in the world of the Shinigami.

Scanning his surroundings, Aaron searched for any sign of Yamada seinosuke, but he found none.

With nothing urgent to do, he decided to locate Yamada Seinosuke instead.

Just as he prepared to depart, a familiar Reiatsu surfaced nearby.

Without hesitation, he vanished into an afterimage, racing toward its source.
