"Hm?" Hearing this, Aizen looked over, and even his normally unruffled eyes revealed a trace of surprise.
What appeared before them, beyond the outskirts of Karakura Town, was unmistakably the scene of Rukongai!
However, it was from a bird's-eye view!
Because at this very moment, Karakura Town was positioned directly above Seireitei!
From Karakura Town, sensing inward toward Seireitei, they could even feel the chaotic and tangled Reiatsu left behind after a massive battle.
The two of them could clearly see the sand that had yet to be cleaned up after the great battle, as well as the remains of numerous Hollows!
The brutal scale of the battle was laid bare at a glance!
Seeing this, Aizen said in surprise,
"So Seireitei actually placed Karakura Town above Seireitei itself, supported by Sekkiseki and hidden away! That truly surprises me!"
"If our original plan had been to secretly search for Karakura Town, we probably would never have found its location in our entire lives!"
"Gin, I have to say, the Captains of the Gotei 13 aren't exactly stupid. They're just a bit weak in terms of strength!
"But that's fine too!" Aizen nodded in satisfaction.
"Captain-Commander Yamamoto and the others witnessed my rise, so letting the people of Seireitei witness my ascension isn't bad either!
"It's just a bit of a shame that they can't see us. In that case, I'll lend them a hand!"
Aizen raised his hand and pointed downward.
Then, Kyoka Suigetsu activated, Complete Hypnosis weaving a reappearance of the five senses!
The hidden image of Karakura Town was thus revealed before everyone below!
"The sky... Karakura Town?"
Looking up at the sky, Byakuya and the others who remained in Seireitei were utterly shocked.
What shocked them even more was that Aizen's figure also appeared above the Shinigami, like a live broadcast screen.
"Shinigami of Soul Society, hello there. Long time no see!"
Facing the 'camera' openly, Aizen greeted everyone.
"As you can see, I have already arrived at Karakura Town above Seireitei. I am about to offer Karakura Town as a sacrifice and turn it into the Oken!"
"From this point on, I shall stand above the heavens! That is why I specially invited everyone to bear witness!" Aizen proclaimed.
Watching the suddenly appearing image of Aizen, Seireitei fell into chaos.
"Damn it, Aizen, what trick are you pulling this time? What did you do to the Captain-Commander and the others?"
Staring at Aizen's projection, Komamura angrily demanded.
"Captain-Commander Yamamoto? You don't need to wait for them!" Aizen showed a puzzled expression.
"Didn't I say it before? When I arrive here, it means the history of Soul Society has already fallen!"
"No, you didn't, Captain Aizen!" Gin tactfully interjected.
"Well then, let me say it again!"
Aizen shook his head with an amused smile and said,
"The existence of Captain-Commander Yamamoto represents the history of Soul Society. But now, that history has collapsed!"
Aizen looked at Komamura. "Captain Komamura, are you satisfied with this outcome?"
"Damn you!" Hearing Aizen's words, Komamura flew into a rage!
He did not know that Aizen had not killed Yamamoto. Under Aizen's insinuation, Komamura believed that Aizen had already slain him!
Thus, ignoring his body that had only just slightly recovered under treatment by the 4th Division, Komamura once again drew Tenken.
"Bankai: Kokujou Tengen Myo'o!"
"Aizen!"
With an enraged roar, Komamura soared into the sky and directly arrived at Karakura Town above Seireitei!
Stepping into the forest on the outskirts of Karakura Town, Komamura immediately spotted Aizen and Gin.
Aizen's appearance was somewhat strange. The whites of his eyes were gone, leaving only black sclera and white pupils, and his Reiatsu also felt abnormal!
However, Komamura did not dwell on it and instead charged forward in fury!
Looking at Komamura like this, Aizen sighed helplessly.
"Same as always, Captain Komamura!
"Even if you're a dog, you can't just keep barking nonstop, can you?"
"Even I would feel the urge to kill a little dog that barks at me every time we meet,"
Aizen drew Kyoka Suigetsu and said calmly,
"You're too noisy, Captain Komamura! Then, die… hm?"
Suddenly, Aizen's words halted as he looked to the side.
There, Gin had suddenly reached out and grasped his blade!
Gripping Aizen's Kyoka Suigetsu tightly and quietly applying force, Gin said with a smiling expression,
"Captain Aizen, disciplining the same dog twice, wouldn't that make me, this dog, look far too incompetent?"
"Captain Komamura, especially a heavily injured Captain Komamura, let me handle him!"
Looking at Gin, Aizen smiled faintly.
"Gin, you're not a dog. You're my loyal subordinate!"
"But since that's the case, I'll leave it to you!"
To Aizen, this was also a rather interesting drama!
A hidden undercover agent killing a Captain because of his position and role!
Here, Aizen never imagined that Gin's assassination attempt was about to begin so quietly!
He knew that Gin wanted to kill him, but just as every naive girl believes she can make a scumbag turn back, Aizen believed that Gin would submit to him because of power.
However, Aizen was wrong!
At the very instant Aizen's words fell-
Squelch!
A brilliant silver flash suddenly shot out from beneath Gin's concealed sleeve, piercing straight through Aizen's chest!
"What's going on?"
Witnessing this scene, the Shinigami watching the live broadcast below, as well as Komamura who was present at the scene, were utterly shocked!
The charging Komamura involuntarily came to a halt.
Equally shocked were the viewers on Blue Star who had been following the game's live stream, watching Aizen and Gin!
"Holy crap, did Ichimaru Gin betray him?"
"I already felt something was off when he cut Ichigo earlier. I didn't expect Ichimaru Gin to really be the mole!"
"But why would Ichimaru Gin betray Aizen?"
"And did Aizen really get successfully ambushed just like that?"
"Wasn't he supposed to be invincible?"
"This is insane. Today is nonstop hype!"
"Yeah!"
Everyone was extremely shocked by what was happening.
And because of that, they watched even more intently!
