(T/N: From this chapter on, the Author is just uploading less than 500 words, so I'll be combining two chapters to one from now on.)
But Aizen still hadn't figured it out:
"Yet the Hogyoku's merit lies in that from its appearance until now, it has perfectly fulfilled its user's desires!"
"I proved with the Arrancar that the Hogyoku has no defects!"
"Correct, that's precisely the issue!"
Kisuke nodded. "Therefore, the Hogyoku's wish-fulfillment mechanism also operates according to the user's thoughts, or subconscious thoughts."
"The Hogyoku is an assistant to your thoughts… it acts according to your ideas. So the fulfilled wishes have a general direction, not creating something from nothing."
"It's what you think, not what the Hogyoku thinks!"
"So, Aizen, haven't you noticed yet?" Kisuke shouted.
Hearing his words, Aizen also sensed something, feeling an ominous premonition.
But this premonition still lacked the final push… unable to enter, Aizen couldn't yet grasp it.
Seeing this, Kisuke directly stated: "You cannot tell the Hogyoku you want to become a god because you don't know what a god is, exactly how powerful."
"Therefore, you need us. You need us to battle you, constantly identifying and filling gaps, then have the Hogyoku improve your weaknesses in targeted manners, and evolve in such a manner!"
"But haven't you realized, Aizen? In continuous evolution, you become that spaghetti code!"
"Just like the programmers writing spaghetti code, skills vary!!"
"In continuous improvement, your enhancements are entirely based on your ideas. But how can you ensure your ideas are always correct?"
"Thus, in continuous evolution, continuous accumulation, you will become like that spaghetti code: because earlier parts have issues and cannot be changed, eventually becoming unable to add more, leading to self-destruction!"
Kisuke directly revealed Aizen's future!
Instantly, the live stream's direction reversed!
"Holy crap, that makes so much sense!"
"Is this the scientist's knowledge reserve?"
"There's such a solution for the invincible Aizen… making him self-destruct?"
"Absurd, absurd! But so logical!"
"What about Aizen? What's his take? Such a twist in today's events. Exciting!"
Everyone anticipated.
Nearby, confronting Gin but also lending half an ear to this side, Ichigo applauded Kisuke's wisdom!
He also knew that at the end of the original Fake Karakura Town Arc, Aizen's evolution exhibited such major problems.
Originally, he was steady and solid, always maintaining a relatively perfect form.
However, after being overpowered by Ichigo's plot armor, Aizen panicked, evolving indiscriminately.
Ultimately, Aizen evolved from a perfect form into an erroneous form, finally defeated by Ichigo's ultimate Getsuga Tensho, the Hogyoku detaching!
The Hogyoku is omnipotent, yet not omnipotent!
It is merely an executor. The host says increase strength, it increases strength, the host says increase size, it increases size.
But it doesn't consider what the host will become after increasing size and strength.
It could even be said that the host who possesses the Hogyoku would very likely end up like a whale stranded on shore, separated from its aquatic environment and ultimately crushed to death by its own weight!
Listening to Kisuke's words, with Aizen's level of scientific knowledge, he immediately understood that this was entirely possible!
Having always believed the Hogyoku to be perfect, discovering that it carried such a hidden danger left Aizen utterly shaken!
He regretted it, regretted discussing the Hogyoku with Kisuke!
Without a doubt, at this moment, Aizen had already begun to doubt the Hogyoku's power!
And something like the Hogyoku was far too sensitive to the user's state of mind!
The Hogyoku embedded in Aizen's chest immediately became unstable, as if it were about to fall out!
After keenly noticing this, Kisuke decisively launched an attack. "Awaken, Benihime!"
At the same time, Kisuke shouted to Yoruichi and Isshin,
"Now! Attack! Just like I said before, don't give him any time to think!
"As long as we force Aizen into a panicked evolution, he'll end up destroying himself!"
"And Aizen right now has already panicked once. The Captain-Commander's efforts will not be in vain. We must expose the hidden danger!" Kisuke said.
If the Aizen from the original work calmly dealt with Yamamoto first, then pushed his body to the Shinigami limit before beginning his evolution on a perfectly blank canvas, then the current Aizen was far from that perfect.
In the Scorching Hell, he had no choice but to rapidly activate the Hogyoku to strengthen himself, just to survive the intense heat.
In other words, this Aizen's foundation was not properly laid!
A towering building may rise from flat ground, but if the foundation is flawed, it will inevitably collapse once it reaches a certain height!
This would be a tremendous opportunity for everyone!
"Burn, Engetsu! Getsuga Tensho!"
"Shunko!"
"Bankai, Kannonbiraki Benihime Aratame!"
Kisuke, Yoruichi, and Isshin simultaneously launched a pincer attack on Aizen!
A fierce battle erupted.
And because of Aizen's hesitation, the Hogyoku temporarily failed to assist him.
Aizen's resolve to use the Hogyoku's power was no longer as firm as before!
For a moment, Aizen actually fell into a disadvantage!
Seeing this, Ichigo immediately wanted to add his strength as well, to see if he could become the final straw that crushed Aizen.
But at that moment, Gin stopped him!
"This path is closed, you know."
"Young man, if you want to go find Captain Aizen, you'll have to get past me first!" Gin said with a smiling expression.
Looking at Gin, Ichigo's mind went into overdrive.
When it came to understanding that godlike existence Aizen, Gin could easily rank within the top two.
The fact that this traitor still had not turned against Aizen meant that, in Gin's assessment, Aizen still had a chance of winning, and that even if he did betray him now, he could not achieve a one hundred percent victory...
'In that case, there was no need for me to go over there!'
Ichigo stopped in his tracks, turned to face Gin again, and decided to play along with him in this little act!
Seeing Ichigo stop so decisively, Gin was quite surprised.
"Ahh, Ryoka boy, you really are beyond my expectations. Ordinary youngsters don't usually have this level of self-control!"
"But if you're thinking of quickly dealing with me and then going to help them, that wouldn't be a wise choice!"
