Kisuke looked incredulous. What transpired just now was beyond his imagination.

As one of the creator of the Hogyoku, he knew how terrifying the object was.

The true ability of the Hogyoku is to absorb the desires of those around, and to make it into reality.

And Aizen had merged with such an object. This merger was impossible to break, not even by him, it's creator.

However Leo had done the impossible.

He watched as Aizen was reduced to countless specks of dust.

All is well that ends well.

Kisuke said to himself. He walked to Leo and was about to ask the man to give the Hogyoku to him, so that he could seal it.

However before he could raise a word he saw Leo place the Hogyoku above a medallion. The light in it pulsed and released waves of spiritual energy.

Kisuke was dumbfounded to see the medallion absorb the spiritual light. Like a drop of water falling into the ocean, the spiritual energy disappeared.

He saw Leo happily smile and put away the medallion. Kisuke couldn't sense the existence of the Hogyoku anymore, it's like it has disappeared.

"Um... Leo, what just happened? Where is the Hogyoku?"

Leo smiled at him, "The Hogyoku won't ever be a problem anymore."

After hearing Leo he knew it was a lost cause to ask about the Hogyoku.

Well, it's better it disappears from the world. Though I'm curious as to what that medallion is and why it could swallow that much spiritual energy.

"Let's head back. Can you move, Ichigo?"

Leo asked.

Ichigo nodded. However the way he was struggling to stand up said otherwise.

Leo shook his head, "Don't be so headstrong at this hour, kid."

Before Ichigo could speak Leo supported the latter. He then stepped on air and started to ascend.

Kisuke quickly followed him.

When they reached Karakura town the captains were awake.

Seeing Kisuke, Shunsui asked, "Aizen?"

Kisuke glanced at Leo and said, "Dead."

Shunsui was surprised. He saw Kisuke looking over at Leo and guessed what happened.

"Looks like the Soul Society is indebted to you again."

He said with a smile.

Leo left Ichigo with his friends. He heard Shunsui and showed a faint smile.

"No need for all that nonsense, Shunsui. That guy annoyed me, so I killed him. But, if you really want to show your sincerity, how about sharing some of your prized sake."

Shunsui flinched when he heard Leo, he smiled bitterly, "What do you know? That sake is what I stole from the old man's collection. I am lucky the old man doesn't drink much, otherwise he would have already found out."

He just finished speaking when he saw Leo looking at him peculiarly.

Shunsui suddenly felt a pair of eyes on his back.

"Say, Leo, the old man is behind me, right?"
