"End everything in an instant?" Aizen curled his lips in a disdainful smile:
"I see! I understand, Kurosaki Ichigo! I understand why you lost your reiatsu. To be precise, your reiatsu wasn't lost, but you gave it up voluntarily. I don't know what kind of secret technique you used. You transformed all your reiatsu into the strength of your own spiritual body.
That could be wrist strength, foot strength, throwing ability, and running ability. In short, you have greatly improved all your physical abilities. And in exchange for this, you gave up your reiatsu. This also means that you have given up on using reiatsu to fight me.
But you wait until you despair! Even if you accidentally gain an advantage by relying on your only enhanced muscle strength, it will be useless. Because what you have is still far less than what I have."
In the world of Bleach, if the muscle strength of a spirit was strong enough, it was equivalent to "natural supernatural power."
Like reiatsu, muscle strength could also increase the speed, attack power, and resistance of the spirit, and could even enhance special abilities.
If one's muscles were strong enough, even if one's reiatsu was weak, one could still possess terrifying combat power.
For example, Zaraki Kenpachi—because of his terrifying muscle strength, the power of his slashing attacks was so strong that almost no one could match it, and his combat power was also very amazing.
After he finished speaking, the Hōgyoku on his chest emitted a strange light again.
Shrouded in light, the huge butterfly wings behind him stretched out, becoming bigger, longer, and more vivid.
At this moment, Aizen was like a giant butterfly spreading its wings to fly, his aura and reiatsu increased to an even more terrifying level.
But even Aizen didn't notice—although he said it and didn't take Kurosaki Ichigo seriously in his conscious mind, his body had honestly evolved a little bit.
His strength had become stronger again.
There was still potential to be tapped in the Hōgyoku and Aizen.
"So? How are you going to defeat me?" Facing Aizen who exploded with terrifying power, Kurosaki Ichigo remained calm, his expression unperturbed.
Now he had sacrificed everything to gain the final power.
He had reasons to win this battle.
Aizen said nothing and continued to activate the Hōgyoku, using his light movement ability.
Under the influence of the power of the Transcendent, he turned into light and disappeared on the spot.
This method of movement was incredibly fast, and its speed was not inferior to spatial displacement.
At this speed, no matter how many punches you threw at him, it would be useless as you wouldn't be able to react in time.
Aizen had used this move to instantly kill Ichimaru Gin, who was incredibly fast and good at sneak attacks.
The destructive power of light-form movement could be imagined.
And this was just Aizen's regular move.
However, Kurosaki Ichigo's reaction speed was too fast.
His golden pupils moved slightly and he noticed Aizen who had moved to the blind spot behind him.
Then, he swung his Zanpakutō without hesitation, blocking Aizen's fatal blow.
In an instant, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, and the atmosphere trembled!
The aftermath of the fight between the two flattened a mountain in the distance and created dozens of canyons where the two men stood.
The power of the Transcendent was the power of God, which had the power to change the world.
Looking at Kurosaki Ichigo who seemed to be frozen, Aizen said proudly:
"You must be surprised, right? I can easily change the terrain with just one swing of my sword. This is my current power. To be honest, I was surprised too. Before this, I had not expected that my strength could be improved to this extent. I'm so happy, Kurosaki Ichigo! Thanks to you, I can fight with all my might without any scruples. It feels so good to not have to hold back my strength. I can finally try out this power that surpasses both the Shinigami and the Hollows."
Aizen noticed something unusual about Kurosaki Ichigo.
Compared to before, the other party was extremely cautious, as if he was very nervous.
He had no doubt about this.
Given the difference in strength between the two, it was normal for Kurosaki Ichigo to behave like this.
In fact, Kurosaki Ichigo was not cautious or nervous, but calm. Aizen, who had misjudged Kurosaki Ichigo's strength, also misjudged his opponent's mentality.
Kurosaki Ichigo didn't waste any time and continued to fight with Aizen using swords.
The slash was his strongest weapon.
Even when facing the Transcendent Aizen, he was not at a disadvantage at all.
The two men fought at lightning speed, and wherever they passed, it was like a dragon entering the land—no grass grew, the sky tilted, and the earth collapsed.
This was no longer a battle between mortals, but a battle between gods.
Aizen slashed at Kurosaki Ichigo again and again, taunting:
"You think I can't see through your speed? It's really too slow!"
However, he soon discovered that his opponent was able to take his attacks, even though his attacks were very casual.
But it shouldn't be something that a mere Shinigami could handle.
