Chapter 24

The female viewers covered their lips in excitement, "So cool!"

And Kurosaki Ichigo, watching from the ground in the distance, was equally stunned.

"They are both captain-level, yet... they are so helpless?"

Countless viewers in front of their TVs also wore expressions of utter despair, just like Kurosaki Ichigo.

Captain of the 10th Division Hitsugaya Toshiro, Abarai Renji who had mastered Bankai, the protagonist Kurosaki Ichigo... and now another captain-level fighter, Komamura Sajin.

Facing four captain-level experts, Aizen had defeated them all in a single move!

It was too terrifying, truly... too terrifying!

In the despairing eyes of thousands of viewers, Aizen successfully extracted the Hogyoku that Urahara Kisuke had hidden inside Rukia.

"With this, you are no longer of any use."

Aizen then sneered and lifted Rukia up, "Kill her, Gin."

Ichimaru Gin smiled slightly and drew his Zanpakuto.

"Shoot to kill, Shinso!"

The rapidly extending Shinso looked as if it were about to pierce Rukia’s petite body.

However, a large white figure rushed over from the side, blocking the tip of the blade with his body and snatching Rukia back from Aizen’s hand.

"B-Byakuya-niisama!?"

Rukia cried out in disbelief.

And Kuchiki Byakuya, pierced by Shinso, was already at the end of his rope.

After setting Rukia down, he stumbled and fell to one knee.

"Great job, Byakuya!"

The audience in front of their screens clapped and cheered.

Now they understood the character of Kuchiki Byakuya even better.

Cold on the outside, warm on the inside.

"Don't move! Aizen!"

"If you dare move an inch, I'll have your head!"

At the same time, Shihouin Yoruichi and Soi Fon arrived together, their blades pressed against both sides of Aizen’s neck.

"This is truly troublesome... Hmm!?"

Ichimaru Gin had just taken a step when he was grabbed from behind by Matsumoto Rangiku, who pressed her blade against his neck.

And Tosen Kaname was also held at bay by his own lieutenant, Hisagi Shuhei, with a Zanpakuto pressed against his back.

"It’s over, Aizen."

Shihouin Yoruichi, played by Gao Yuanyuan, said coldly.

And just as she said this,

Kyoraku Shunsui, Ukitake Jushiro, and even the Captain-Commander Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, along with many other lieutenants, arrived on the scene.

They completely surrounded the three of them.

Aizen’s lips curled into an arc once more.

"What’s so funny?"

Shihouin Yoruichi asked, frowning.

It must be said that Gao Yuanyuan was indeed a veteran of martial arts dramas; the temperament of Shihouin Yoruichi could not have been a better fit for her.

And in Gao Yuanyuan’s home, Xu Feng, looking at Gao Yuanyuan in his arms who was dressed exactly like Shihouin Yoruichi in the show, couldn't help but feel his appetite whetted:

"Sister Yuanyuan, shall we go again?"

"Get lost!"

"Ah~ yes, it is over."

The moment Aizen said these words,

high above in the firmament, three massive, translucent golden pillars of light descended from the sky, landing on the bodies of Aizen, Ichimaru Gin, and Tosen Kaname.

Enveloping them!

At this moment, in the sky above the Seireitei,

a massive gap suddenly tore open, and countless Gillian-class Menos Grande poured out, making one’s scalp tingle just to look at them.

"Are those... Gillian? Are they Menos Grande?!"

"This number... just how many are there!?"

"Not only that, there seem to be other things inside!"

Looking at these Menos Grande with their bone masks and gaping, bloodthirsty maws,

let alone the characters in the show, even the audience outside the screen couldn't help but get goosebumps.

And under the shroud of the light pillars, the ground beneath Aizen and the others split rapidly, turning into stairs that slowly ascended into the high sky.

"Damn it! Are you trying to escape?!"

Soi Fon shouted angrily.

"Stop!"

Yamamoto Genryusai said in a deep voice:

"That thing is called 'Negacion'; it is a move used by Menos Grande to save their kin. As long as they are enveloped by that light, it will be impossible to capture Aizen again."

"Have you fallen so far as to join forces with the Menos Grande? Have you fallen, Aizen!"

Ukitake Jushiro looked up, staring at Aizen as he slowly ascended into the sky, and said in a deep voice.

At this moment, even Xu Feng, who was busy holding the beautiful Yuanyuan and tasting her sweetness, stopped his movements.

The iconic scene is coming! ===== CHAPTER 54 =====

"You are too arrogant, Ukitake."

Facing Ukitake Jushiro’s questioning,

Aizen, under the holy light of the Negacion, ascended into the sky like a god, his answer echoing through the clouds of the Seireitei.

"No one stands in the heavens from the beginning. Neither you, nor I, nor even the gods."

As he said this, the astonishing pressure made the characters in the show and the audience outside subconsciously bite their lips to alleviate the tension rising in their hearts.

"But that unbearable vacancy on the throne of heaven will soon be over."

As Aizen said this, he took off the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and with his other hand, he supported his forehead, slowly brushing back his slightly curly brown hair.

The camera slowly pulled back, revealing Aizen’s full appearance at this moment.

Although the original Aizen had already shown his fangs, with those glasses, he had at least retained a final trace of refinement and gentility.

However, when he took off his glasses and brushed his hair back into a slicked-back style,

the feeling he gave off changed completely!

"From now on, I will stand in the heavens!"

The black-rimmed glasses in his hand were crushed into powder by his spiritual pressure and dissipated into the air.

Kurosaki Ichigo and the other Soul Reapers in the show, as well as countless viewers outside,

when Aizen said this line against the backdrop of the dark, giant eyes of the Menos Grande behind him,

countless viewers projected themselves into the position of the protagonist group and, along with the Soul Reapers on screen, felt that suffocating sensation that made breathing increasingly difficult!

This kind of personality transformation of a protagonist is not rare in domestic dramas.

Zhen Huan, played by Sun Li, and Jiang Yuyan, played by Yang Xue.

Both were like this.

However, they could not bring the near-suffocating pressure that Xu Feng’s Aizen brought!

Not to mention that just by taking off glasses and changing a hairstyle, one could produce such a massive change in perception.

Many viewers subconsciously recalled the blackening of Zhao Xiaodao in the hit drama *The Journey of Flower* two years ago.

Well, although many of Zhao Xiaodao’s fans don't want to admit it,

the gap in this blackening is simply a hundred thousand miles apart!

However, Xu Feng stated that this actually doesn't count as blackening, because this was Aizen’s true face all along. ===== CHAPTER 55 =====
