Gotei 13, Headquarters.
Captain Commander Yamamoto was just about to review some documents when he suddenly sensed an overwhelmingly powerful aura rushing directly toward him!
He frowned, immediately standing up and looking in the direction of that aura.
"What an intense presence…"
"It's not spiritual pressure, yet it carries a formidable sense of oppression."
"Is this… the outsider who defeated Yhwach?"
The Captain Commander already had a premonition.
He directly flung off the cloak he was wearing, revealing the scarred yet extremely robust physique beneath.
The cane in his hand emitted a burst of flames, instantly transforming into a Zanpakutō!
At that moment, Aoki arrived before him!
Seeing the Captain Commander fully prepared, Aoki smiled faintly.
"It seems you're already ready for battle."
"Then let's skip the small talk."
"Let's fight!"
As he spoke, Aoki's figure instantly vanished!
The Captain Commander was slightly startled.
The blade of Ryujin Jakka erupted with crimson, scorching flames, slashing toward his own back!
As the flames dissipated, Aoki stood before him, completely unharmed.
"Despite your age, your reflexes are still sharp," he said to the Captain Commander.
His opponent's reaction speed could actually keep up with his earlier pace—truly worthy of being the strongest Shinigami in the Soul Society.
Of course, compared to his own level, there was still a considerable gap.
In Aoki's hand, Chakra instantly condensed into a golden longsword.
"Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"
Boom!
An immensely powerful force instantly slashed toward the Captain Commander!
"Ryujin Jakka!"
Flames erupted from the Captain Commander's blade like a volcanic explosion, violently colliding with Aoki's attack!
After a fierce explosion, a terrifying shockwave instantly erupted between the two, sweeping away everything around them.
Even the nearby buildings were directly blasted into countless fragments, turning the surroundings into a barren plain.
"Truly impressive," Aoki said calmly, holding the golden longsword.
"Not many can withstand one of my attacks."
"You're one of them."
"However, be careful."
"I'm about to get serious now."
Hearing Aoki's words, the Captain Commander's gaze instantly sharpened.
Blocking that earlier attack had already pushed him to his limits—he had almost failed.
What kind of monstrous strength did this opponent possess?
The Captain Commander took a deep breath, issuing a low command.
"Release Aizen!"
He ordered his lieutenant to release Aizen, who was imprisoned in Hell!
The situation was too critical now—he had no other choice.
Simultaneously, the Captain Commander's blade instantly condensed from its flaming state into a form resembling a charred sun.
Bankai—"Remnant Fire Great Sword"!
Facing such a powerful enemy like Aoki, he chose to directly unleash his bankai!
"Remnant Fire Great Sword: Eastern Rising Sun Blade!"
"Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"
The two instantly collided!
Meanwhile, after witnessing Aoki's terrifyingly formidable strength, the Captain Commander's lieutenant immediately rushed at his fastest speed to Sun Leap Prison to release Aizen.
He knew he had to accomplish this as quickly as possible.
Otherwise, the Captain Commander might not hold out!
This thought startled even himself.
Before this, he had never imagined that the Captain Commander—with strength unrivaled in the Soul Society—would encounter an opponent so powerful that he could barely cope, even needing to seek Aizen's help!
He arrived in Hell.
Aizen was already waiting there.
Before he could even utter a plea for help, Aizen took action.
"I know why you're here."
"To ask for help, right?"
"Hurry and release me, or your Captain Commander might be in trouble."
By the time Aizen rushed to the battlefield, the Captain Commander was already covered in wounds, panting heavily and looking utterly disheveled.
This shocked even Aizen!
He had come at his fastest speed, taking less than a minute.
Was Aoki's strength truly this terrifying?
Could the Captain Commander barely hold on even for that short time?
Seeing Aizen arrive, Aoki showed no surprise.
"You're here?"
"Good."
"Fighting two at once might pose a slight threat to me."
As he spoke, an even more powerful surge of Chakra erupted from his body!
Sensing this overwhelming Chakra, both the Captain Commander and Aizen immediately changed expressions.
Could it be…
That Aoki hadn't been fighting seriously earlier?
He was just toying with them!
"Destruction Spell Ninety: Black Coffin!"
With a wave of his hand, Aizen unleashed a high-level demon art, instantly manifesting a massive black coffin on the spot, attempting to restrain Aoki!
"Destruction Spell Ninety-Nine: Five Dragon Annihilation!"
Immediately followed by an extremely powerful spell!
Five dragons formed from spiritual pressure erupted from the ground, crushing everything around them into dust!
"Remnant Fire Great Sword: Minami: Kaka Juman Okushi Daisojin!"
The Captain Commander also unleashed his ultimate technique against Aoki!
"Too weak."
Aoki's voice calmly echoed.
"Yomotsu Hirasaka!"
His figure instantly vanished from the spot, reappearing behind the two!
"Eighty Gods Vacuum Strike!"
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
A terrifying Taijutsu that seemed to pierce the heavens instantly materialized into countless gigantic fists, pummeling both the Captain Commander and Aizen.
Even the entire sky trembled violently.
After a moment, the dust settled.
The Captain Commander lay on the ground, covered in wounds.
Aizen was in the same state.
Aoki hovered in mid-air above them.
Two Spirit Orbs descended into their bodies.
Instantly, these two strongest warriors became Aoki's loyal subordinates!
Immediately, the Chat Group's notification sounded.
[Ding! Mission progress advanced: Defeat Captain Commander Yamamoto completed!]
[Ding! Mission progress advanced: Defeat Aizen completed!]
[Please complete the remaining missions as soon as possible.]
[Rich rewards await upon mission completion.]
Hearing this news, the other Hokages elsewhere felt a surge of motivation.
"Aoki is this fast?"
"Then I need to pick up the pace!"
Hashirama said, looking at his opponent.
Captain of the Eighth Division, Shunsui Kyoraku!
"Sorry, I wanted to play around a bit longer."
"But it seems I need to end this quickly."
As Hashirama spoke, he clapped his hands together!
Black markings instantly appeared around his eyes!
"Sage Mode!"
Shunsui Kyoraku's expression gradually turned serious.
"Getting serious now?"
"Bankai: Flower Heaven Wild Bones - Black Pine Heart!"
Shunsui Kyoraku also released his bankai!
However, the next moment!
His eyes instantly widened in shock!
"True Thousand Hands: Summit Transformation Buddha!"
"Susanoo!"
