"Oh?"
"What is it?"
Aizen also felt very curious.
What kind of question could this love-struck girl in front of him possibly ask?
"Captain Aizen, wait a minute..."
"You're not going to stab me with a sword, are you?"
After Momo finished speaking, she let out a few dry laughs. "Ahahaha... I'm just kidding."
The atmosphere instantly became stiff.
"...."
Ichimaru's eyes widened in astonishment.
"..."
Aizen remained silent.
"Eh?"
Momo was also stunned, staring blankly Aizen in front of her, who was clearly familiar but now seemed incredibly strange.
"Boring."
"If a comical clown stops performing, then she has no value in existing."
Aizen expressionlessly drew his Zanpakuto and walked step by step towards Momo.
"How scary~ Captain Aizen."
Ichimaru narrowed his eyes.
"Captain Aizen..."
Momo subconsciously took a few steps back. But all of this was in vain.
The immense power gap made it impossible for her to even run away.
Swish!
Aizen's figure instantly flashed past her. Then he made the motion of sheathing his sword.
He was so fast that it was impossible to see when he drew his sword, it was already over.
"Gin, let's go... Hm?!"
Aizen was instantly stunned.
He saw that Momo, who had taken his fatal blow, was completely unharmed, with a layer of hazy light radiating from her body.
"Is this a protective barrier?"
Aizen was greatly surprised.
Firstly, someone had actually anticipated that Momo would be in danger.
Secondly, even with a barrier, to be able to withstand his attack, the caster was definitely not someone ordinary.
"Captain Aizen..."
"So that's how it is. It seems that man was right."
"Admiration is the furthest distance from understanding..."
At this moment, Momo's tears rained down as she gazed with a face full of sorrow at the strange and cold Aizen before her.
"...."
Aizen was momentarily taken aback.
Admiration is the furthest distance from understanding.
Weren't these the words he wanted to say?
Why would Momo know?
And that man, who was she referring to?
It was the first time Aizen felt his plan was out of control.
"Oh dear~ What should we do?"
"Momo already knows Captain Aizen's true face." Ichimaru said in a mocking tone.
"Gin, kill her."
Aizen was expressionless.
For someone like him, if he couldn't kill a "pawn" with a single strike, he would lose interest.
"Yes, yes~"
Hearing this, Ichimaru slowly drew his Zanpakuto.
Swish!
Momo felt danger and subconsciously retreated.
"Shoot to kill, Shinso!"
Ichimaru activated his Shikai, and the blade rapidly extended tens of meters, stabbing towards Momo.
Bang!
The Life amulet on Momo was triggered again, and Shinso's blade was repelled.
"Oh dear~"
"What a tough defense, my attack was ineffective."
Ichimaru shrugged, indicating he couldn't do anything.
"...."
Aizen gave him a deep look, naturally seeing that the latter was holding back and wasn't using his full power.
At this moment, Momo finally came back to her senses and finally confirmed the fact that Aizen wanted to kill her.
She bit her lip, and a glint of determination flashed in her tear-filled eyes.
"Bakudo #77, Tenteikura!"
Weaving a large Reiatsu network to transmit information over super long distances.
"Eh? Momo can actually perform such a high-rank Kidō?" Ichimaru was very surprised.
Although Momo was skilled in Kidō, this rank of high-grade Kidō was definitely not something a mere lieutenant could perform.
Even if she forced herself to use it, it would require the full incantation, with a very long casting time.
"Discarding the incantation..."
"So that's it. You etched the incantation's spell onto your arm with Reiatsu beforehand."
"Thus achieving the effect of instant activation."
"You've really grown, Momo."
Aizen's sharp eyes noticed the densely packed spell incantations shimmering inside Momo's sleeve.
He instantly understood that before coming to see him, the other party had already made preparations.
— — —
Seireitei, Rukongai, the Shinigami of the Gotei 13.
"This is... Momo's Reiatsu?"
"She actually used Tenteikura? Did something major happen?"
Toshiro was greatly surprised.
"This is Lieutenant of Squad Five, Momo..."
"Aizen has betrayed us!"
"Aizen has betrayed us!!"
"Aizen has betrayed us!!!"
Momo shouted the important matter three times in a row, the last time almost hysterically.
The astonishing information was transmitted through the Reiatsu network to the ears of every single Shinigami in the Gotei 13.
"Captain Aizen, he's still alive?"
"Is that true or false?"
"What in the world is going on?"
"Since this information was sent by Momo, it must be true."
Shunsui had actually vaguely sensed that something was off with Aizen for a long time, but was troubled by the lack of evidence.
"This is bad!"
"Could it be that the orders issued by the Central 46 Chamber before this were also fake?"
"Return to Seireitei immediately!" Ukitake loudly called out to everyone.
Just as Seireitei was in chaos, the underground secret room of Squad Eleven.
The two were still engaged in an intimate struggle.
"That should be enough, right..."
Unohana's voice was faint, carrying a lazy charm.
"Thirteen times..."
"Even the Twelve Labors of Hercules in mythology were nothing compared to this, right?"
Tenya stretched his muscles and bones, feeling aches and pains all over his body.
Even the powerful physique of the Uzumaki clan was somewhat overexerted at this point. But all this effort was worth it.
The Rinnegan from the SSS-rank treasure chest, 1300 points in total.
"I can feel that your power has suddenly risen to a new height."
"How did you do that?"
Unohana's gaze fell on Tenya's eyes.
She could clearly sense that some kind of mysterious and astonishing power seemed to be hidden within the other party's eyes.
"I have to properly thank Captain Unohana." Tenya had a serious expression.
"Thank me? Could it be that doing that kind of thing... can make you stronger?"
Unohana's expression suddenly became a little strange.
"Want to know?"
