Not far from the Sōkyoku Hill, both Abarai Renji and Komamura Sajin collapsed to the ground, severely injured.

At this moment, Aizen casually tossed Rukia Kuchiki to the ground, treating her as though she were mere trash. A gleam of satisfaction flashed in his eyes as he gazed at the Hōgyoku, freshly extracted from Rukia, a triumphant smile playing on his lips.

"I began researching Hollowfication a hundred years ago," Aizen mused aloud. "And now, I finally have the Hōgyoku in my possession. It is the key to transcending boundaries and creating infinite possibilities."

After centuries of meticulous planning and experimentation, Aizen had achieved his goal. He glanced coldly at Rukia, who was struggling on the ground, then seized her by the collar and lifted her effortlessly.

Turning toward Tousen Kaname, who stood nearby, Aizen commanded icily, "Kill her, Tousen."

Tousen hesitated briefly before lowering his head. Drawing his blade, he pointed it toward Rukia. As he activated his Bankai, the surrounding environment plunged into impenetrable darkness, a realm devoid of light. The eerie chirping of insects echoed through the void, amplifying the oppressive atmosphere.

Suddenly, a flash of a blade streaked toward Rukia. Her eyes widened in terror, her body frozen with despair as the strike approached. Blood splattered at her feet.

Unbeknownst to her, she was shielded by a figure who had arrived just in time. It was her brother, Kuchiki Byakuya. He stood before her, his body now bearing a grievous wound from the blade meant for her. His face betrayed no emotion, yet his eyes burned with fierce determination as he faced Aizen and Tousen.

"Big Brother…" Rukia's voice trembled as tears welled in her eyes.

Cherry blossom petals, remnants of Byakuya's Senbonzakura, fluttered in the air as he prepared to fight. Fixing Aizen and Tousen with an icy glare, he chanted:

"Arise, beast bones!

Towers of crimson crystal, wheels of steel!

The movement is wind, the cessation is void!

The clash of spears reverberates through the void city!

Hadō No. 63: Raikōhō!"

Before the incantation could fully manifest, a voice interrupted from above. Shiba Kūkaku, dressed in battle attire, descended from the sky atop her cannon-like invention. Completing her chant, she unleashed a massive bolt of golden lightning toward Aizen.

The explosion was deafening, scattering dust and smoke in every direction. Those who had gathered nearby watched in awe as the lightning tore through the battlefield. Among them, Yoruichi Shihōin and Suì-Fēng exchanged resolute nods before dashing toward Aizen.

Though cornered, Aizen displayed no sign of panic. Instead, he smirked. "I'm afraid your time is up."

Suddenly, a massive garganta opened in the sky, and towering Gillians emerged from its depths. Their enormous forms roared as they clawed at the air, creating an overwhelming sense of dread. The Shinigami stared in shock, their expressions filled with disbelief.

Golden light surrounded Aizen and Tousen, forming a protective barrier—a Negación. As the ground beneath them shattered, they began to ascend.

"It's no use," Captain Yamamoto Genryūsai said solemnly. "Negación creates an impenetrable barrier used by Menos Grande to rescue their kin. We cannot interfere."

Though unwilling, the gathered Shinigami could only watch as Aizen and Tousen were carried skyward. Aizen's confidence remained unshaken. Adjusting his glasses, which disintegrated into spiritual particles, he brushed back his hair and declared, "From now on, I shall stand in the heavens and rule over all."

Suddenly, an immense reiatsu emanated from the ground. Aaron, a mysterious figure among the Shinigami, ascended into the air. Thunderclouds gathered above the garganta, and a black blade materialized in his hands, composed of writhing shadows and howls of Menos Grande.

The Gillians recoiled in fear, retreating into the garganta. The Negación around Aizen and Tousen dissipated. For the first time, Aizen's composure cracked, his face betraying a flicker of fear as he beheld the overwhelming power before him.
