Utilizing his self-developed "Garganta," Aizen and Gin Ichimaru instantaneously traversed space, arriving in Hueco Mundo.
Garganta was a technology capable of creating dimensional spaces or pathways, allowing Aizen to evade the Seireitei's surveillance and freely travel between Hueco Mundo, Soul Society, and the human world.
Beyond its function as a dimensional pathway, Garganta could also generate a sealed dimensional space capable of containing spiritual bodies.
However, this confinement wasn't absolute; even those with captain- or Espada-level spiritual pressure could only be contained for a few hours at most.
After Aizen unified Hueco Mundo in the original storyline, he granted Garganta to his Espada for punishing subordinates, essentially using it for imprisonment.
Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez also used Garganta to ambush Ulquiorra Cifer during his battle with Ichigo Kurosaki, trapping Ulquiorra in a dimensional space to seize Ichigo Kurosaki as his opponent.
A black-hole-like aperture materialized in Hueco Mundo, and Aizen and Gin Ichimaru stepped through, arriving in Hueco Mundo.
Upon entering Hueco Mundo, the moon, displaying the Rinnegan pattern, immediately caught their attention, instilling a sense of unease in Aizen.
"So, this is Hueco Mundo's moon. It's quite different from the Shinigami world, isn't it?"
Gin Ichimaru, experiencing Hueco Mundo for the first time, mistook the moon's appearance as a unique characteristic of Hueco Mundo.
Aizen shook his head. "No, something is definitely amiss in Hueco Mundo. The Hueco Mundo moon, like those in Soul Society or the human world, has never exhibited such a phenomenon."
While Gin Ichimaru outwardly frowned, he secretly rejoiced inwardly. The more obstacles Aizen faced, the greater his chance of retrieving Rangiku Matsumoto's stolen soul fragments.
"Shall we proceed with the original plan?" Gin Ichimaru inquired.
Aizen responded slowly, "Certainly. We proceed directly to Las Noches; there, we'll undoubtedly uncover the truth behind these changes in Hueco Mundo."
With their exceptional speed, Aizen and Gin Ichimaru soon reached the outskirts of Las Noches.
The area surrounding Las Noches had undergone significant changes, with numerous additional structures.
Upon arrival, they encountered Yammy Llargo, guarding the gates.
Seeing unexpected strangers at the gates of Las Noches, Yammy Llargo immediately confronted them. "Who are you? What are you doing near Las Noches?!"
Observing Yammy Llargo, who possessed both human-like features and Hollow characteristics, Aizen and Gin Ichimaru exchanged a look.
Gin Ichimaru, unfamiliar with Arrancars, couldn't identify Yammy Llargo's species, but Aizen, having extensively researched Hollows, Shinigami, and the Hogyoku, correctly deduced that Yammy Llargo was an Arrancar.
"Unexpectedly, an Arrancar. You must be the master of Las Noches," Aizen remarked with a smile.
Through spiritual pressure sensing, Aizen detected Yammy Llargo's exceptional spiritual pressure quality. However, for him, it was a trivial matter.
Yammy Llargo scratched his jaw with a thick finger. "What nonsense are you spouting? I am Yammy Llargo, one of the Espada under the master of Las Noches, guarding the gate. State your business, or face the consequences!"
Yammy Llargo, typically quick to resort to violence, hesitated due to past punishments from Ulquiorra Cifer for his violent methods. He still held a degree of respect for the powerful Ulquiorra Cifer.
"One of the Espada? So, there are ten others like you?" Gin Ichimaru asked, having overheard Aizen's assessment of Yammy Llargo as an Arrancar.
Based on Aizen's previous statements, achieving Arrancarization was extremely difficult for Hollows, unless aided by the Hogyoku.
A self-Arrancarized Hollow might be exceedingly rare, perhaps even non-existent, in Hueco Mundo.
If this man had ten counterparts, how had they all achieved Arrancarization?
Aizen realized that the changes in Hueco Mundo were beyond his control, but his confidence in his own strength prevented a retreat.
"Yammy Llargo, then please lead us to the master of Las Noches," Aizen said with a smile.
Yammy Llargo burst into laughter. "You think you can just meet the master of Las Noches whenever you please? Since you refuse to state your intentions, I'll capture you first! Then Ulquiorra won't have anything to say about my actions!"
With those words, Yammy Llargo launched a powerful punch at Aizen. While lacking in speed, Yammy Llargo's strength was among the Espada's higher echelons.
The punch unleashed a violent wave of spiritual pressure.
Much to Yammy Llargo's surprise, instead of sending Aizen flying, the powerful blow was effortlessly deflected by a seemingly weak hand.
"Impressive strength, but lacking in speed. Your spiritual pressure, while exceptional, doesn't reach the level expected of a self-Arrancarized Hollow," Aizen observed, analyzing Yammy Llargo's attack.
"Has someone developed a technique to Arrancarize Hollows, preemptively seizing Hueco Mundo and Arrancarizing high-potential Hollows? Or has someone else in the Seireitei discovered the Hogyoku's technology? Could it be Urahara Kisuke?"
Aizen's mind raced with possibilities, unable to conceive that Yusuke Uchiha had anticipated and surpassed him.
Seeing Aizen's silence, Yammy Llargo roared, surging his spiritual pressure to an even higher level.
"You dare underestimate Yammy Llargo?!"
Red light coalesced in his mouth as he unleashed a Cero.
Yammy Llargo's spiritual pressure surge immediately alerted all high-ranking members within Las Noches.
Sensing Yammy Llargo's spiritual pressure surge through the Rinnegan in the Hueco Mundo sky, Yusuke Uchiha focused his attention on the area.
In Yusuke Uchiha's perception, Yammy Llargo's red Cero was effortlessly torn apart by Aizen's hand; then, with a single, casual punch to Yammy Llargo's abdomen, Aizen sent the towering Hollow sprawling, resembling a curled-up shrimp, half-kneeling on the ground, gasping for breath.
Seeing Aizen confronting Yammy Llargo at Las Noches' gate, Yusuke Uchiha knew that within Las Noches, only he could stand against Aizen.
Aizen's appearance in Hueco Mundo signaled the imminent Gotei 13 captain Hollowfication and rebellion!
