Chapter 23: The Perfect Boss, Aizen Sosuke

In the show, the signature gentle smile on Aizen’s face had vanished, replaced by the condescending posture of a great demon king.

And Rukia, played by Zhao Jinmai, stood under this terrifying pressure.

Her eyes gradually lost focus, and she was so frightened that she nearly lost all self-awareness.

And with this, the episode came to an end. ===== CHAPTER 51 =====

Unlike the previous few weeks, many viewers did not click on the next episode as impatiently as they had before.

Instead, they sat stunned in front of their screens for several seconds before slowly coming back to their senses.

"Xu Feng’s acting is truly incredible."

Liu Shishi, holding her pet puppy, complained to her fellow junior apprentice Gulinazha and Jin Chen, who were watching the show with her.

Their expressions just now were much like Rukia’s in the show.

Especially when Xu Feng revealed that condescending, big-boss expression.

Every one of these actresses had been completely stunned.

"They say that little girl playing Rukia is still in middle school. She’s lucky enough; it looks like Xu Feng intends to promote her."

Jin Chen said with a hint of jealousy.

She had just checked the Baidu Encyclopedia.

She discovered that this little girl named "Zhao Jinmai" had played the role of Little Nezha in *Lotus Lantern*, which starred Xu Feng, in her previous drama.

And her second drama was playing the female lead in Xu Feng’s *Bleach*.

It was clear she had latched onto Xu Feng’s coattails.

Jin Chen felt that looking across the entire entertainment industry, only the Liu Yifei of yesteryear could compare to Zhao Jinmai’s explosive start.

Liu Shishi chuckled and changed the subject:

"Alright, alright, let’s not talk about that. Sisters, let’s keep watching."

Saying this, Liu Shishi clicked on the next episode.

Soon, the second episode of this week’s update began to play.

Xu Feng, playing Aizen, reached out and gripped the collar on the neck of Rukia, played by Zhao Jinmai, who had been scared witless.

He seemed prepared to do something to her.

"D-damn it... stop..."

Kurosaki Ichigo propped himself up with one hand, covered in blood, yet still struggling to stand.

"Still conscious? How pitiful. A vitality that doesn't match one's strength is also a waste."

Aizen once again contributed a famous line with a cold sneer:

"But stop now. You have served your purpose well; your mission is already over."

Upon hearing this, Kurosaki Ichigo’s eyes widened in surprise.

"You said... mission?"

And in front of their screens, the audience also frowned in confusion.

What exactly did Aizen mean by that?

Subsequently, Aizen began to explain the cause and effect of the events.

He had known from the very beginning that Kurosaki Ichigo and the others would invade the Seireitei with the help of Urahara Kisuke.

And he had used the commotion created by Kurosaki Ichigo and the others to carry out his faked-death plan.

He also explained why Urahara Kisuke had assisted Kurosaki Ichigo and the others in rescuing Rukia.

The reason lay in a precious product capable of breaking the boundary between Soul Reapers and Hollows—

The Hogyoku!

And this was the ultimate goal of Aizen and his cohorts.

Everything had been according to Aizen’s plan!

Upon hearing Aizen’s explanation, the audience was once again conquered by this big boss portrayed by Xu Feng.

Whether in terms of martial prowess or intellect,

Aizen was absolutely the most perfect boss they had ever seen.

Not only did he possess the raw strength to crush everything, but he also had the wisdom to play everyone in the palm of his hand.

At this moment, countless viewers who had projected themselves into the protagonist group even began to feel despair.

With such a terrifying boss, how could the protagonist group possibly win?

Gulinazha, who was only a month older than Fatty, couldn't help but complain:

"Is this Aizen too powerful? How can the protagonist group fight him?"

Liu Shishi nodded in agreement.

Although her acting had always been criticized for being vacant, she had acted in many dramas.

This included types like *Bleach* where the protagonist group teams up to fight a boss.

But in the dramas she had filmed before, she had seen many villains portrayed as very powerful.

For example, the Evil Sword Immortal in *Paladin 3*.

That was basically a plot-mandated death.

But for a boss like Aizen, who had not a single flaw from head to toe,

Liu Shishi felt that even a plot-mandated death couldn't kill him.

"Aizen!!!"

Just as Aizen prepared to extract the Hogyoku that Urahara Kisuke had hidden inside Rukia,

reinforcements from the Gotei 13 finally arrived.

The first to arrive was the Captain of the 7th Division, Komamura Sajin!

Accompanied by a roar of fury, Komamura Sajin brought his blade down hard.

With a boom, the earth was nearly shattered.

However, Aizen leaped away, dodging the attack with ease.

"I will not forgive you! Aizen! And you too! Tosen!"

Komamura Sajin glared at the two, his eyes full of rage, releasing his spiritual pressure to the maximum.

"Bankai! Kokujo Tengen Myo!"

A samurai giant as massive as a mountain appeared behind Komamura Sajin, ready to strike.

Yet at that moment, Komamura Sajin discovered that Aizen, who should have been ten meters away, had already appeared less than a meter in front of him!

"H-how? When did Aizen—"

Just as Komamura Sajin’s eyes widened in shock,

Aizen, wearing a smile, slightly spread his right palm, from which a black-purple energy ball emerged.

"Way of Destruction No. 90—" ===== CHAPTER 52 =====

“Way of Destruction Number Ninety?

A level 90 Kido!?

Upon hearing this number, many fans who had been following the show since the first episode realized the severity of the situation.

They certainly knew what "Kido" was.

But up until now in *Bleach*, the highest-numbered Kido they had seen was only in the 60s, cast by Kuchiki Byakuya.

Aizen had directly doubled that, starting off with a level 90 Kido.

Wasn't that a bit too exaggerated?!

Under the gaze of countless viewers, the dark energy rising in Aizen’s hand

turned into black lightning within a few seconds, rapidly converging into a massive, rectangular black coffin that covered both Komamura Sajin and the Kokujo Tengen Myo he had summoned.

BOOM!!!

A deafening explosion rang out.

The dark coffin encased the captain-level Komamura Sajin.

The next second, it exploded from within.

Aizen, standing on the periphery, turned slowly, and the black coffin behind him dissipated.

Komamura Sajin, covered in blood, fell to the ground in agony.

Aizen performed the iconic "cool guys don't look at explosions" scene on the spot.

The male viewers widened their eyes in shock, "He took out another captain-level fighter in one hit!?" ===== CHAPTER 53 =====
