Inoue Orihime was stunned by the scene before her after arriving in Karakura Town through the Senkaimon, accompanied by Gluttony.
At that moment, the entire town resembled a battlefield at the end of the world. Explosions echoed throughout, and the air was thick with smoke and the scent of gunpowder.
Multicolored beams of light flashed across the sky, followed by deafening blasts that shook the ground.
Dozens—perhaps hundreds—of fiery pillars erupted across Karakura Town, surging into the sky. Waves of scorching air rolled off them, quickly blanketing the entire area.
"What... what is happening?" Orihime muttered in shock, her wide eyes reflecting the chaos around her.
Suddenly, Gluttony seemed to sense something. Its body blurred, vanishing in an instant.
Elsewhere, Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni and Aizen Sōsuke were still locked in a tense standoff when a new voice rang out nearby.
Both turned toward the source of the voice, their eyes narrowing with alertness as a figure appeared—Aaron.
He stood calmly, gaze fixed on Aizen. After a moment of silence, he finally spoke.
"I can persuade the Quincy of the Sternritter to serve you. It seems I underestimated you," Aaron said softly, his tone emotionless.
Yamamoto's eyes shifted slightly as another figure appeared behind Aizen.
With a thunderous crash, Kurosaki Ichigo—who had been attempting a sneak attack—was flung backward by Aizen's casual counter.
At the same moment, Wonderweiss Margela, who had previously been destroyed by Yamamoto's flames, reformed and reappeared beside Aizen, moving at incredible speed.
"It seems this one has absorbed quite a bit of energy," Aizen remarked coldly.
He suddenly retreated, and Wonderweiss's body began to swell rapidly—like a ticking time bomb on the verge of explosion.
It was then that Yamamoto grasped Aizen's plan: he had used Wonderweiss to absorb and store the flames of Ryūjin Jakka. Once saturated, the body would detonate like a massive bomb.
But just as Yamamoto prepared to intervene and stop Wonderweiss, a figure surrounded by four-colored energy streamers appeared behind the creature.
In an instant, it was as if a bottomless black hole had opened up. Wonderweiss was swallowed whole.
Luyang patted her stomach lightly and hiccuped, yet her expression showed clear dissatisfaction.
"Master~" Taotie (Gluttony) leapt over to Aaron, smiling happily.
Aaron returned the gesture with a nod, then shifted his attention toward Aizen once again.
The battle in Karakura Town raged on. Yamamoto sighed faintly, then transformed into a blaze of fire and charged toward the nearest Sternritter.
Hovering in the air, Aizen observed Aaron and the chattering Gluttony by his side. His previously furrowed brow relaxed.
"It seems Ulquiorra didn't delay you for long," Aizen said aloud.
"But no matter. Everything is going smoother than I anticipated. Today, you'll witness what true power is."
Aaron chuckled and shook his head. "I hope you won't disappoint me."
He gently tapped the Glutton beside him. At that moment, an overwhelming, almost tangible Reiatsu erupted from his body.
Luyang's form shrank, becoming a small black hole wrapped in four-colored streamers. It hovered like a guardian spirit at Aaron's chest. Simultaneously, Aaron himself underwent a dramatic transformation.
He stared coldly at Aizen, raised a finger toward him—and then…
With a roar like five dragons crying out in unison, Aizen was instantly bound in place by a colossal dragon made of five swirling, multicolored streams of energy.
BOOM!
A series of violent explosions followed, and five massive mushroom clouds lit up the sky.
Aizen had vanished.
All across Karakura Town, those still engaged in combat turned toward the source of the explosion. The spectacle was impossible to ignore.
"Did it work?" Urahara Kisuke muttered, having narrowly avoided an attack. His eyes followed the rising clouds.
Aaron also stared at the spot where Aizen had disappeared, a glimmer of curiosity in his eyes.
In that moment, he recalled the events of the original story—the immense power Aizen had gained after merging with the Hōgyoku.
From the looks of it, Aizen had now entered the second fusion stage.
As the dust settled, something white began to emerge—a pupa-like object, reminiscent of an insect's metamorphosis.
Crack.
A sharp sound split the air as the shell shattered. From it emerged a strange figure—Aizen, now covered in white, his body transformed.
"So this is manifested Reiatsu," Aaron thought as he observed Aizen's new form.
"To think the Five Swirling Dragons of Destruction, even with chanting, could harm me... I must say, I'm surprised.
But I should thank you," Aizen continued, his voice low and grim.
"Without your power acting as a catalyst, I wouldn't have reached this second fusion with the Hōgyoku so quickly.
So now... witness the true power of the Hōgyoku!"
He glared down at Aaron, fury and arrogance burning in his eyes.
