Chapter 177: The End Of The Chaos

"I'm really sorry for letting you down, captain."

Though Gin apologized, there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth and no trace of guilt whatsoever.

"In all fairness, you are indeed a very good captain. Unfortunately, the first person I met was Captain Aizen."

Gin spoke again.

The Zanpakuto Shinsō in his hand suddenly stretched out, attacking with the intention to kill Mazuru.

Mazuru swung his Zanpakuto that glowed crimson in his hand, even though Shinsō's attack was fast, he still blocked it.

Gin didn't seem to be surprised by that, as if he knew the results already by heart.

Mazuru looked at Gin's appearance, and became more and more "angry", "No wonder Aizen let you transfer to my Third Division back then. So from beginning to end, you were Aizen's subordinate."

"What the hell are you guys planning?"

Mazuru looked at Gin's foxlike face and asked "angrily".

Gin replied with a smile, "I don't know what Captain Aizen wants to do, my task is just not to let you disturb Captain Aizen."

Mazuru seemed to have fallen into unprecedented anger because of his vice-captain's betrayal.

Immediately, he launched a fierce offensive at Gin.

However, the strength displayed by Gin, the vice-captain at that time, was beyond everyone's expectations.

Although he didn't use Bankai, but relying on his Shikai Shinsō, he blocked Mazuru's first attacks.

"How is this possible…?"

Nanao was startled.

First, Aizen used a Kurohitsugi on Komamura Sajin and defeated him easily which already showcased Aizen's amazing strength. And then Gin also displayed such a powerful battle prowess, obviously he was only a vice-captain, but he possessed such high level of strength.

But what really shocked her was what Aizen did to Rukia not far away, and what he said while the process.

"Next, let me take out the substance hidden deep in your soul. I found this method from Urahara Kisuke's research. After all, it was him who invented the technology of storing substances in the soul. The act of my suspended death was just to find this method. I went to search for it in the Great Spirit Book Gallery under Central 46 compound and finally I found it." Aizen explained slowly to Rukia.

Immediately after that, he pressed the device in his hand and threw it on the ground, a white stand suddenly appeared and enveloped both Rukia and Aizen.

A wooden texture appeared on Aizen's hand and spread all the way to the entire forearm, and then he directly inserted the arm into Rukia's chest and a black hole appeared in her chest. Aizen slowly took out a bright crystal from it, but the crystal was covered with a layer of transparent material seemingly to contain it.

"This is the Hōgyoku, it's really beautiful." Aizen was intoxicated, his eyes were deeply attracted by the crystal in his hand. Meanwhile, the black hole in Rukia's chest had disappeared, but now everyone was attracted by the crystal, even Rukia herself was surprised that there was such a substance hidden in her body.

Aizen seemed very satisfied with this much-anticipated scene, and then revealed another explosive news, about the whole story of the disappearance of the souls a hundred years ago. At that time, he was the one who conducting the hollow experiments, and then he used Hirako Shinji and others as the test subjects. Kisuke, on the other hand, was an unlucky backer who appeared at that scene. Fortunately, it was that same hollow experiment that allowed him to discover even Kisuke had secretly created something like Hōgyoku.

"You are useless now." Aizen put away the Hōgyoku and turned around while holding Rukia's collar in his left hand, Kaname stabbed out his Zanpakuto without saying a word, and was about to give Rukia the final blow.

Seeing that Rukia was about to be killed, Aizen suddenly lightened his handgrip, and a stream of blood spurted out. It turned out that Byakuya arrived at the critical moment and rescued Rukia, but he himself was pierced through the chest by Kaname's sword.

The sudden turn of events both surprised and frightened Ichigo and his group. But it was not over yet, just after the sudden appearance of Byakuya, a loud voice suddenly came, "Hadō #63 —— Raikōhō!"

A thick beam of lightning suddenly shrouded Aizen, and Shiba Kukaku who stood on Jidanbo's shoulder, fell from the sky repelling Aizen and Kaname.

"Really, these troublesome guys are jumping out one by one..."

Aizen looked at Kukaku who came there, and sighed softly.

At the same time, Yamamoto, Shunsui, Jushiro, Kaien, Ashido and others also rushed over. Sui Feng also released the imprisoned Yoruichi, and the two of them arrived over there.

Aizen watched the many top shinigamis from the Soul Society who came to catch him one after another.

Though he said it was troublesome verbally, but on the contrary, he didn't felt troubled at all.

"Traitor, Aizen Sosuke, be wise and surrender! Your plans end here."

Yamamoto's indifferent voice pointed at Aizen.

Although Sui Feng and Yoruichi have gone through a big battle, they still have the strength to fight. They immediately came close to Aizen at the same time, intending to incapacitate him, but not only Aizen did not reacted but rather it seemed that he didn't had the slightest intention to try to escape.

Mazuru, who was fighting with Gin, suddenly speeded up and came to Sui Feng's side in an instant, pulling her aside. Yoruichi also realized what happened, and immediately retreated away from Aizen.

A beam of light fell from the sky, covering Aizen's body.

"Perceived?"

Standing inside the beam of light, Aizen looked at Mazuru who had saved Sui Feng, and said calmly, "As expected of my opponent, if it was the past, I wouldn't mind having a good fight with you, but now is not the time." 

Two more beams of light fell from the sky, covering the figures of Gin and Kaname, leading them to fly towards the sky.

Above the sky, at some point, a huge crack had opened, and through the crack, many huge figures could be seen hiding behind it.

"Negación!"

Sui Feng looked gloomy. Just by looking at the beam of light, she recognized what it was.

Negación is a technique that Menos Grande uses to save its kind. It involves the power of rules. The inside and outside of Negación are two different worlds. If she insisted on getting close to Aizen before and was swept by the light of Negación, she would only had ended up with a dead-end.

'He saved me.'

Sui Feng glanced at Mazuru beside her, thinking silently in her heart.

The other captains also recognized what the light was, and suddenly realized one more thing, that is, Menos Grande had used Negación to save Aizen, which meant that Aizen might have colluded with Hueco Mundo long ago.

On the edge of Sōkyoku Hill, Rangiku hurried only to see Gin flying towards the sky enveloped in the light of Negación.

Gin also noticed Rangiku, he wanted to say something, but then he forcibly held it back. He then looked back at Mazuru who was standing beside Sui Feng.

…

The previous night. 

Third Division, Captain's room.

Mazuru had a private conversation with Gin and to prevent from secretly being peeped by others, he also deliberately used his Bankai secretly and set barriers around them.

The content of the conversation was only one sentence.

"The way to crack Kyōka Suigetsu is to touch Kyōka Suigetsu's blade before complete hypnosis starts."
