The tremendous impact force, combined with the current physical strength of Ichigo and Aizen, made them like iron nails driven into an egg, easily piercing straight through the small hill.
In the next instant, the yellow-earth hill trembled violently. Amid shattered dust and debris, Ichigo, still gripping Aizen by the face, burst out from the other side of the hill!
"Damn it, let go, let go of me!"
Aizen struggled violently while his face was firmly seized by Ichigo.
However, having just completed his evolution, Aizen was horrified to discover that he actually could not break free from Ichigo's restraint!
Not only that, at this moment Aizen could not even move his hands at all!
Clearly, Ichigo was only holding his face, yet Aizen felt as if he were a small insect trapped in amber, experiencing pressure and confinement coming from all directions!
Ichigo's short-term surge in strength was astonishing!
Immediately, Aizen's thoughts went astray, his mind exploding with countless speculations.
Aizen exclaimed in shock:
"Did He strengthen you again?"
"What kind of existence is He, to be able to enhance you like this!"
"Damn it, since there is such an incomprehensible existence, why would He sit idly by and let that kind of thing remain on the Throne of Heaven? Disgraceful!"
"Could it be that the one who were strengthing you is the Soul King?"
"Wait, damn it-"
"Hahahaha, I get it now, so that's how it is!!"
"The so-called sneak attack by the Five Great Noble Clans was already seen through by the Soul King long ago. He merely abandoned his physical body, using it as a tool to stabilize the world, and then let his will completely become the World's Will!"
"The Five Great Noble Clans thought they controlled the world, but in fact they had long been arranged by the Soul King!!"
"That's right, it must be like this, otherwise it can't be explained!"
"But the Soul King's will exists based on his body. I wanted to become the new Soul King, so I threatened His existence. That's why He sent you, isn't it?"
"The Soul King… is this the Soul King? Damn it, I-"
Rumble-
Aizen's incessant rambling was drowned out by a massive collision sound!
After reaching the destination, Ichigo casually slammed Aizen into the ground!
A body that had surpassed its limits collided with the hard earth, blasting out an enormous circular crater.
And Aizen lay quietly at the very bottom of that deepest pit…
Standing outside the pit, Ichigo jumped down and appeared in front of Aizen, looking at him speechlessly.
"Wrong. All wrong. I'm not sent by the Soul King."
Aizen had guessed the existence of the game, but due to the information gap, he couldn't understand it, so he could only force his own knowledge to fit.
However, that was a huge mistake!
All of Ichigo's power belonged to himself alone.
Ichigo also hadn't expected that Aizen would directly mistake him for the Soul King's emissary.
Hearing Ichigo's words, Aizen froze for a moment.
Then he slowly climbed up.
"Not an emissary of the Soul King? Then could this power of yours really be your own?"
Realizing his thinking had gone wrong, Aizen understood.
He looked at Ichigo in sudden realization.
"So that's it. I can't sense your Reiatsu. That means you converted all of your Reiatsu into physical enhancement, didn't you?"
"Hmph, Kurosaki Ichigo, it's useless. You've converted all your Reiatsu into strength, but I'll tell you this… before the Hogyoku, strength is meaningless!"
As he spoke, Aizen communicated with the Hogyoku, and the Hogyoku once again began to enhance his power.
Unlike in the original work, where Aizen's body shook and his power skyrocketed, before Ichigo, Aizen's enhancement seemed to come with extra visual effects.
The Hogyoku's energy overflowed from the hole in Aizen's chest, then flowed across his entire body.
Terrifying energy poured into his muscles, making Aizen look like a Super Saiyan. His hair stood on end, and beneath his white fitted clothing, slabs of muscle bulged out!
In an instant, a devilishly muscular version of Aizen appeared before everyone!
But how should one put it… this version of Aizen was just too different in style compared to before.
It was like switching from a typical Japanese manga style straight into JOJO!
Seeing Aizen like this, Ichigo showed dumbfounded expression.
At the same time, the viewers in the livestream had expressions similar to Ichigo's.
"Damn, my eyes!"
"Curse you, Hogyoku, give us back that handsome big boss Aizen!"
"Cough, excessive bodybuilding attracts the same sex. Am I the only one who wants to touch his muscles?"
"The one above, you're weird! Want to come to Billy Herrington's gym?"
"Can you guys be serious? This is the final battle!!"
After all, not everyone can accept the JOJO art style.
Because of Aizen's sudden transformation, everyone was left speechless.
Likewise, Ichigo didn't quite know how to face the current Aizen.
No matter what, Aizen was still a big boss with an imposing presence, so Ichigo could only correct him through action!
"Wrong!"
Ichigo swung his sword!
At this moment, he was in complete Bankai… his right hand, guard, and chain had fused with Tensa Zangetsu, and the swastika of Tensa Zangetsu had fully opened.
Thus, as Kurosaki Ichigo, his strength had already reached the absolute limit!
But Ichigo wasn't just Kurosaki Ichigo alone.
He had slain many Espada, absorbed their Reiatsu, and from the beginning until now, he had also obtained numerous game rewards.
With all these layers stacked together, Ichigo's strength could only be higher than in the original work's Ichigo, not lower!
Under such immense power, even the air was compressed by Tensa Zangetsu into a solid state, condensed along a section of the blade in front of it!
And as Tensa Zangetsu swung, this compression continued!
The atmospheric environment, which could normally be kneaded and reshaped at will yet always remained whole, was actually sliced open into a vacuum by Ichigo's longsword!
The air in front of the blade became solid, while a vacuum appeared behind it, continuously drawing in air, which in turn pushed the blade forward even more!
Within this cycle, the horizontally slashing Tensa Zangetsu rotated 180 degrees from in front of Ichigo's left arm to a position parallel with his right arm and body.
Then, a genuine crescent-shaped 'sword wave' flew off from the blade of Tensa Zangetsu, charging toward Aizen!
"How is this possible?"
Looking at this sword wave, Aizen showed an expression of utter disbelief!
Because this strike from Ichigo was far too simple.
There were none of complex Reiatsu Fluctuations, nor any so-called swordsmanship techniques.
It was just a simple sword swing!
But precisely because it was so simple, Aizen understood it at a glance… and in that instant, he realized a cruel reality.
That was, with his current body, he could not endure such a strike at all!
Thrusting Kyoka Suigetsu straight forward, Aizen tried to block the sword wave!
