Chapter 1051 Eternal Night and Dawn
Urahara Kisuke was shocked beyond words. He knew the horror of the Hogyoku. That kind of power could affect people's minds and change the future of the world. He spent a lot of brain cells to hide the Hogyoku. It can be said that the cause of Rukia's incident was the Hogyoku. But now there is a Hogyoku on the boy's wrist, and it was given by a captain. Urahara Kisuke had to wonder if the Soul Society was changing too fast, or if he was crazy?
This is the Hogyoku, a magical tool that requires countless soul energy to construct. It distorts reality and changes the future. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a divine tool, but now it has become a decoration on the wrist of a high school student: "Did the captains let you bring it back? Didn't they ask you to keep the Hogyoku?"
"They have it too, why do they want to keep mine?" Ichigo said strangely. He still thought Aizen was an idiot. He treated this common stuff as a treasure and even betrayed the Soul Society. If Ichigo was not sick, he would not know how to evaluate Aizen. Ichigo didn't realize that Urahara Kisuke had been petrified.
As the only two people in Soul Society who studied the Hougyoku, Urahara Kisuke, like Aizen, overcame many difficulties in order to invent the Hougyoku, and even used means to absorb the energy of countless Hollows, which completed what they thought was the "semi-finished Hougyoku". But the Hougyoku on Ichigo's wrist was extremely complete, even higher than the Hougyoku he sealed in Rukia's body, which hit Urahara Kisuke, a genius, and every captain has one? This is Hougyoku, not glass marbles.
"Tell me what happened in Soul Society, tell me everything." Urahara Kisuke's worldview could no longer support it.
Ichigo also told Urahara Kisuke everything he knew, from arriving in Soul Society, to Kuchiki Byakuya's battle with the captain-in-chief, to his duel with Aizen in the end.
Hearing that Aizen came forward to seize the Hougyoku, Urahara Kisuke was still helpless. What he had been avoiding finally happened. Fortunately, it was not easy to fuse the Hougyoku. Urahara Kisuke set up many mechanisms on the Hougyoku he made.
The story was normal up to this point. Although Urahara Kisuke was surprised that Byakuya Kuchiki had enough strength to threaten the captain-general, and Kuchiki's Bankai was different from before, it was still acceptable.
But the style of the whole story changed afterwards, all because Aizen attacked Duran. He was tricked by Aizen into falling into the Dangkai one second ago, but Duran came back the next second, not only returning but also bringing a brand new Hogyoku.
Hearing this, Urahara Kisuke pinched his thigh to prove that he was not dreaming. He spent so much time and effort to make the Hogyoku, but Duran actually spent a few moments to master the manufacturing method and even improved it. He didn't even touch it, but just watched Aizen show off from a distance. Is this possible? He didn't want to believe it, but Urahara Kisuke had to believe it in the face of the iron facts.
"The effect of the Hogyoku depends on the wishes of the maker?" Is this Duran's conclusion about the Hogyoku? Is it really like this? I don't know. Anyway, they have only made two Hogyoku, and they were made by two different people. Their experience is not worth referring to.
But Duran has made more than ten Hougyoku, and he is experienced, dares to experiment, and uses his imagination to prove that the ideas of the maker can indeed affect the effect of Hougyoku.
"What is the effect of your Hougyoku?"
"It is the time Hougyoku, and its main function is to slow down the enemy or speed up yourself. The limit time I can bear now is about 9 seconds."
Urahara Kisuke was very curious, and after experiencing it himself, he was amazed. It seems that Soul Society has produced a more talented person than himself. He can only sigh with envy for this power to modify reality.
Ichigo and the others left, and Urahara Kisuke sent them away with a lonely face, and he was not interested.
And in Hueco Mundo, Aizen finally waited for Tosen Kaname, and also brought the news of Ichimaru Gin's rebellion. Betrayal and being betrayed. However, Gin Ichimaru was not an important character, and Aizen did not care: "Tosen-kun, you came just in time, you can rule this Hueco Mundo with me."
The most magnificent building in Hueco Mundo is a palace built by wild Arrancars to show their status as the rulers of Hueco Mundo. However, the original rulers are now dead or fled, and now this palace is ruled by Aizen and his modified Arrancars.
The original Arrancars are Hollows who have learned the power of the God of Death on their own. Basically, they have more or less incomplete places, and their power is not as strong as the artificially modified Arrancars, so the original Arrancars are defeated in front of Aizen's army.
Tousen is coming, of course, not empty-handed, he also brought a Hogyoku. Aizen was impressed by the thing. If it weren't for his deep foundation, he would have been almost killed by the young traveler: "Duran." But what made him grit his teeth was Duran, who always opposed him. If it weren't for Duran, his road to defection would not have been so embarrassing.
"Each Hogyoku has a different effect. This one is the Dark Path Pearl, which can open the gate of hell and send souls to hell." Below the Soul Society is hell, and that place is not a good place, not much better than the Dangai.
In this world, the god of death can send the souls of the most evil to hell, but good people cannot enter. However, with this Dark Path Pearl, both good and bad people can be sent to hell to suffer.
Aizen looked at the Hogyoku made by Duran for a long time without saying a word, but Tosen had to say: "As far as I know, each captain of the god of death now has at least one Hogyoku, and the effects are all unknown, so they cannot be underestimated."
Continuing to be silent, although Aizen looked down on Duran's Hogyoku, he had to admit that Duran's Hogyoku was very effective. It could not make the god of death transcend the mundane, but it could target his own power to attack. Did Duran come here specifically to disgust him?
"Urahara Kisuke has set traps on his Hougyoku. If I want to fuse, I must break these traps, which will take a long time. To avoid being disturbed, I will give you new power." Hollows can be transformed into Shinigami, and Shinigami can also be hollowed. Aizen wants to hollow Tosen Kaname to enhance his power.
Tosen Kaname will naturally cooperate. He is now lurking to inform Duran.
Aizen has a lot to do. First, he must fuse Hougyoku, then he must go to the Soul King to prove his strength, and of course he must kill Duran to remove the big worry in his heart.
These things have to be done step by step. Looking at the brand new Ten Espadas under his seat and Tosen Kaname beside him, Aizen smiled with satisfaction. These are all the power he has built up, and they are also stepping stones for his great achievements.
Although he has many subordinates, he is the only one who becomes a god outside the gods.
In the empty and majestic Kyonyaku, a force that subverts the world is ready to prove their strength to the world.
On the other side, Duran stood in front of the captain and told his plan: "I will set up a special team to specialize in Aizen's case. The number of people does not need to be controlled within ten. All the Shinigami above the fifth place in the squad can apply. All Shinigami who join the special forces can get the best equipment and the most generous treatment, and they can be buried in a Feng Shui treasure land after death."
"So what is the name of your team?" asked the captain.
"Akatsuki, the Akatsuki that pierces the night." Duran smiled like a child who succeeded in a prank.
