Kisuke's group of three deeply experienced Aizen's current strength. After solidifying his confidence, Aizen had become very strong, even slightly stronger than them combined.
But now, after piercing through the two's attacks and reaching her hand, the force wasn't as immense as before!
Undoubtedly, Ichigo's slash inflicted severe damage on Aizen!
"Well done, Ichigo!"
Looking at Ichigo, who exhausted after the full-power slash, even dispelling his Hollowfication, Yoruichi said happily.
Simultaneously, the other two, though not directly contacting Aizen, also noticed Aizen's poor condition.
Because, after using the injury's stimulus to knock back Ichigo and pursuing, Aizen seemed as if his strength depleted, staggering back half a step, covering his slashed right chest with difficulty, breathing painfully!
Remember, earlier when Aizen was injured, merely the Hogyoku's flashed, and injuries healed automatically. But this time, Aizen covered the wound, unstoppable blood gushed from between his fingers.
It's sufficient to indicate how much damage Ichigo's slash caused!
Fortunately, only can say fortunately, Ichigo and Gin's opportunity was when Aizen exposed a flaw on the right side.
If it were on the left side, Aizen's heart would be gone now, not only just lung injury!
This is also why Aizen was so shocked and angry!
However, looking at Aizen, Ichigo clicked his tongue dissatisfied.
'Using Ichimaru Gin's blade to suddenly arrive, then turning to attack… this set of actions was still a bit difficult!'
'Originally, I didn't intend to slash the Hogyoku, but directly slash the person!' Ichigo sighed regretfully.
This is like MCU's Thor lamenting not cutting Thanos's head.
But in reality, during high-level high-speed combat, hitting at all is good enough, and one can't demand hitting specific spots.
This time, even with preparation, the attack was still a bit rushed.
So at the very end, Ichigo couldn't control his blade, causing trajectory deviation, slashing the Hogyoku within Aizen!
And the Hogyoku is terribly sturdy… even Ichigo's full-power slash left no trace. No wonder Kisuke couldn't destroy it after creating it!
However, looking at Ichigo regretfully shaking his head, Yoruichi was speechless.
"Enough, enough!" She stopped Ichigo's humblebragging.
'If this is still regrettable, what about us unable to gain ground for long, not even advancing Aizen's evolution much earlier?'
Simultaneously, Yoruichi was also very surprised: "Ichigo, how did your strength suddenly become this high!"
She remembered earlier that Ichigo was only at a 'strong among Shinigami' level, but now, he has reached their level, even touching the Captain-Commander's threshold.
"This… Well, it's all thanks Aizen!" Ichigo explained, as there's no need to fabricate reasons this time:
"If he hadn't placed so many Arrancar in the Seireitei, I couldn't experience battles and grow to this stage!"
"So it's from experiencing battles!" Yoruichi realized.
Ichigo was originally the type who grows stronger the more he fights… this isn't strange now.
Regarding Ichigo's explanation and strength, Yoruichi didn't mind. For her, the stronger the teammate, the better.
But now, feeling the intense pain from his right chest and Ichigo's Reiatsu coagulated on the wound, preventing Hogyoku recovery, Aizen was already beyond furious and shocked!
"Such powerful Reiatsu! It simply doesn't seem like something you could possess!!"
Gritting his teeth, Aizen said displeasedly:
"Kurosaki Ichigo, you can repeatedly hinder me!!"
"I must say, as someone under my control from start to finish, from birth to everything watched by me!"
"Your growth truly exceeded my expectations from start to finish!"
"I admit, regarding you, I miscalculated, Kurosaki Ichigo!!"
"Congratulations, you have exceeded my growth expectations for you! Far exceeded! Exceeded somewhat abnormally!"
Aizen insinuated something… simultaneously, his words exposed an earth-shattering secret!
"Oh?"
Hearing Aizen, Ichigo left Yoruichi's embrace. Covering his aching chest, he walked over.
Simultaneously, the live stream audience still amazed by Ichigo's slash also turned their attention.
"What did you mean just now?" Ichigo frowned and asked.
Although he already knew, he still had to ask now.
Simultaneously, Ichigo was also quite curious what Aizen wanted to say now.
He always felt Aizen's words had hidden meaning! He seemed to have discovered something!
And under Ichigo's gaze, Aizen's fleeting thought when slashed gradually perfected!
"I mean, Kurosaki Ichigo, the Hollow within you… the was created by me!"
"Your father stayed in the Living World because of me. Your mother also united with your father because of the White Hollow I created."
"That is to say, from the White Hollow onward, the Shinigami power obtained from your father, the Quincy power obtained from your mother… all exist because of me!"
"Simultaneously, Kuchiki Rukia was also specially arranged by me to come to the Living World. Because her unresolved feelings regarding Shiba Kaien, she would inevitably choose to give Shinigami power to you!"
"Still don't understand, Kurosaki Ichigo? Your everything, everything, was given by me!"
"Kurosaki Ichigo, if your parents only gave you life, then I gave you everything!"
Aizen's words shocked everyone.
"What? So Ichigo didn't choose an ordinary Japanese male high school student from the start?"
"That is to say, Ichigo's everything was manufactured by Aizen?"
"Holy crap, in that case, Ichigo picked up a super big bargain?"
"Uh, can't say that either. After all, think: if Ichigo hadn't come, wouldn't the original Kurosaki Ichigo be just a clown in Aizen's hands?"
"It's precisely because Ichigo came that he brought the original Kurosaki Ichigo to a position not belonging to him!"
"Indeed, but what's the use of Aizen saying this?"
"Maybe to say he didn't lose to Shihoin Yoruichi and the others, but to his own creation?"
"But isn't that forced dignity-saving? Aizen shouldn't do that, right?"
Regarding Ichigo's origins, everyone was shocked, but regarding Aizen's thoughts, everyone was also very puzzled.
Equally puzzled were Ichigo and the others.
