After sensing the immense spiritual pressure building around Aizen, Kyoraku Shunsui's instincts screamed danger! He immediately understood that they were all in mortal peril.
[Without hesitation, he shouted urgent warnings to the other Shinigami present.
"This is bad! Everyone retreat to safety immediately!"
"Get back to the laboratory—now!"
The urgency in his voice sent every Shinigami scrambling for cover as they abandoned their positions and fled to secure locations, not daring to remain anywhere near Aizen's attack range.
Then, Aizen's most iconic technique emerged once again—a spell that had become synonymous with his overwhelming power.
"Hado Ninety... Black Coffin!"
BOOM!CRASH!RUMBLE!
This was the purest and most concentrated manifestation of Aizen's spiritual pressure! It truly lived up to its designation as one of the "Special War Powers" that even Yhwach himself had acknowledged as a threat.
The extremely powerful gravitational force erupted outward, instantly sweeping across the entire sky above Soul Society. The technique's influence was so vast that even Shinigami positioned at great distances could clearly feel its overwhelming presence pressing down upon them.
This demonstration revealed just how terrifying Aizen's current power had become. Simply by remaining seated and unleashing his spiritual pressure, he could completely annihilate all of the Soul King's corrupted manifestations. It was genuinely incredible power that defied comprehension!
Even from the safety of their laboratory shelter, the Shinigami felt profound shock at witnessing such force.
We have to admit it, they thought with growing unease. Even in his sealed state, Aizen still possesses such terrifying capabilities.
Can Soul Society really hope to control someone with this level of power? Will we truly escape suffering a backlash from this alliance?]
After witnessing this overwhelming display, the Shinigami observing from the real world found themselves equally stunned.
[Hitsugaya Toshiro]: As expected, his power remains incredibly formidable. Even at this moment, he's still overwhelmingly strong.
[Matsumoto Rangiku]: It seems entirely possible that he's grown even stronger than during his most powerful period previously!
[Byakuya Kuchiki]: What exactly did he accomplish during those years of imprisonment? How did his power continue growing while sealed?
[Mayuri Kurotsuchi]: Hmph, it appears that without my presence, the Gotei 13 will indeed face doom.
At this moment, the Shinigami found themselves genuinely surprised and deeply conflicted. It was clear that their entire organization truly had to rely on Aizen to have any chance of ultimate victory, so they really couldn't afford to speak negatively about him anymore!
They could only pray desperately that Aizen would continue unleashing even more terrifying power to defeat these formidable Quincy enemies!
Only Aizen's Hogyoku has any chance of defeating an existence like Yhwach! Countless Shinigami harbored extremely complicated thoughts as they found themselves silently praying for their former enemy's success.
Meanwhile, although the Quincy expressed some surprise at the display, they refused to give Aizen any significant recognition.
[Gerard]: Tsk! He merely eliminated some minor manifestations—what's so impressive about that? I can only conclude that the Shinigami have become pathetically weak if they require Aizen's assistance for such a simple task.
[Lille Barro]: Aizen can only bully these inferior creatures. When he truly encounters His Majesty, the outcome will be decided very quickly indeed.
[Jugram Haschwalth]: Precisely. Aizen stands no chance against His Majesty. He has absolutely no comprehension of how terrifying our Almighty power truly is.
[Pernida]: He was merely cleaning up some cannon fodder, yet you're all acting so impressed. You're worthy of being called the "King of Pretension," Aizen!
[Ichigo Kurosaki]: I think his Black Coffin just now was even more powerful than when he fought me with full incantation and maximum effort...
[Shiba Isshin]: Hmph, it seems Aizen does possess considerable capabilities after all...
[Urahara Kisuke]: Not bad at all. Keep it up, Aizen—I hope you can protect Soul Society effectively now.
[Aizen Sosuke]: There's no need for you to tell me what to do. I can accomplish this naturally. It has been quite some time since I've witnessed such an interesting scene.
[Ulquiorra]: As expected, Aizen-sama remains as invincible as ever!
[Tier Harribel]: The Shinigami tremble in fear before Aizen-sama's presence—they can't even bear to remain and observe his power!
[Grimmjow]: He's definitely powerful. Aizen is truly extraordinary at this point in time.
[Gerard]: Alright, alright, stop with all the excessive praise. Let's wait to see the next scenes before deciding whether such boasting is warranted.
The Quincy were indeed eagerly anticipating witnessing their Majesty defeating Aizen and the others. They believed this would certainly provide excellent entertainment, and they looked forward to it tremendously.
The Shinigami of the Gotei 13 could only release weary sighs as they contemplated their situation. They understood the reality all too clearly.
At this critical moment, Aizen represented the only person Soul Society's Shinigami could truly rely upon for salvation.
So they could only pray desperately that Aizen would not make any critical errors in the battles to come!
If Aizen proves unable to defeat these hateful enemies, they thought with growing dread, then we truly have no means of escape from this catastrophe.
The Shinigami of the Gotei 13 essentially all shared this same perspective. They found themselves working incredibly hard to pray for the success of their former enemy—a situation they recognized as deeply ironic!
After fighting against Aizen for so long, they reflected bitterly, in the end we have to rely on his power to have any chance of defeating these Quincy. This would be uncomfortable for anyone to accept!
Many Shinigami had begun considering another disturbing possibility as well. If nothing unexpected occurred, Aizen would eventually become one of the primary combatants in the fight against Yhwach.
After that... will he really end up fighting side by side with his "son" Ichigo Kurosaki? The thought seemed increasingly likely, and it was genuinely unsettling to contemplate.
Apart from Ichigo, there were essentially very few individuals in all of Soul Society who could fight alongside Aizen as equals.
[Tosen Kaname]: To see Aizen-sama's power displayed so magnificently... it reminds me why I chose to follow him in the first place.
[Stark]: Even while restrained, he demonstrates such overwhelming force. The Shinigami were wise to fear his true capabilities.
[Baraggan]: Hmph! At least someone among the Shinigami possesses power worthy of respect, unlike the rest of these weaklings.
The various factions continued their commentary, but all eyes remained fixed on the projection, wondering what would happen when the true confrontation between Aizen and Yhwach finally began.
