Chapter 747

Looking at Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez's expression, Aizen's face wore an inexplicable smile; if Grimmjow had once posed little threat to him because of Zangetsu's illusions, now that Zangetsu's illusions were gone, Aizen still had no way to deal with Grimmjow.

For reasons unknown, even when Aizen's power had reached an extremely high level among Shinigami, he had never unlocked the final secret of his Zanpakutō: Bankai.

This remained true even now that Aizen had fused with the Hōgyoku—after all, to him, Zangetsu's illusions had become as useless as a bone with no meat.

Yet he could never find a way to push Zangetsu's illusions further, which deeply troubled Aizen; even now that Lin Cheng had enhanced Aizen's power to such an extent, Aizen still could not achieve Bankai with Zangetsu.

But seeing four opponents before him now, Aizen's face broke into a faint smile—for him, the most important thing was to keep evolving his body.

One or two opponents of equal level could no longer offer him any growth; only far stronger beings could make him stronger, which was why Aizen had agreed to confront Ishgaria's group and the Shinigami directly with Primordial Black Diablo.

For here stood four beings at his exact realm—such entities might well be the key to Aizen's next breakthrough.

Therefore, no matter what, Aizen would seek to defeat Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez, Naruto, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, and Yhwach.

This time, Aizen would not hold back, for to break through to a higher realm, he must defeat these men; if he held back again, he did not know when he might ever reach a stronger state.

Seeing Aizen's expression, Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez's battle aura grew even denser—he had already realized that Aizen now sought nothing less than a mortal duel.

And Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez himself also craved a mortal duel; at this moment, both Aizen and Grimmjow thought alike, and so Grimmjow was the first to charge toward Aizen and engage him in battle.

"Aizen, let us fight properly—if we don't, it won't bring us any breakthrough at all. Only through relentless battle can we reach a stronger state!"

Looking at Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez, Aizen's face carried a faint smile; he cared little for battles against Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, Naruto, and Yhwach, but encountering Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez, he cared deeply.

In Aizen's view, even if all four fought him at once, only Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez would be able to fight him to the very end; as for the others, while he wished to battle them, they lacked the power to push Aizen to break through again.

So the moment he saw Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez charging forward, Aizen's usually clear mind shut down in an instant—he would have a battle only a beast could keep up with.
