Then, after binding Aizen, Kisuke began rapid incantation!
"Limit of the thousands hands, respectful hands, unable to touch the darkness. Shooting hands unable to reflect the blue sky. The road that basks in light, the wind that ignited the embers, time that gathers when both are together, there is no need to be hesitant, obey my orders. Light bullets, eight bodies, nine items, book of heaven, diseased treasure, great wheel, grey fortress tower. Aim far away, scatter brightly and cleanly when fired!"
Yet another entirely new Hado appeared before everyone!
However, with his confidence renewed, even facing Kisuke's personally incanted Senju Koten Taiho, Aizen remained unperturbed.
"It's useless. I am invincible when seriously using the Hogyoku!" Aizen declared confidently.
"Is that so? We'll see after trying!" Kisuke was noncommittal!
"Hado #91, Senju Koten Taiho!"
As Kisuke chanted, several pink light cones floating beside him aimed at Aizen and shot!
Because he was bound, Aizen was easily struck by this attack!
Boom!
A massive explosion erupted. The projectiles of Senju Koten Taiho formed a pink cross at the very center of the battlefield!
It was as if an omnipotent God was conducting a judgment upon a sinner!
The immense power of Senju Koten Taiho acted upon Aizen's body, attempting to destroy it!
Feeling the vast Reiatsu of Senju Koten Taiho, everyone nervously watched Aizen's condition!
Not long after, the pink explosion faded!
Having entered the second stage early, his entire body enveloped in a milky-white, solid Reiatsu resembling a cocoon, Aizen appeared before everyone!
Clearly, under Kisuke's attack, Aizen had evolved once more!
Seeing this Aizen, Isshin was stunned. "What's going on? I can't even sense his Reiatsu anymore!"
"Can't sense his Reiatsu?"
Hearing Isshin's words, Aizen glanced at him dismissively:
"That's perfectly normal! Because this is the effect produced by the excessive gap between our Reiatsu levels!"
After speaking, Aizen turned his gaze to Kisuke:
"Urahara Kisuke, I have commenced my second evolution, and it is perfect!"
"It seems the 'spaghetti code' theory you mentioned earlier doesn't hold water!"
"Now, even a Hado of the 90s can be ignored by me!"
"My evolution has no flaws!" Aizen declared proudly!
"Is that so..." Hearing Aizen's words, Kisuke was noncommittal.
He merely pressed down his hat, obscuring his eyes, and muttered quietly:
"I wonder if you noticed my little actions against you earlier?"
Hearing Kisuke's words, Aizen was taken aback. "What?"
"I said, during our initial battle earlier, I used Benihime to seal the dual Reiatsu output ports all Shinigami possess, as well as the various Reiatsu nodes within your body, Aizen!!"
"If your current state is like the pupa stage in an insect's evolution,"
"Then I am the parasitic wasp, laying eggs inside the caterpillar before it spins its cocoon!"
"You will be burned from the inside out by your own Reiatsu!"
"Seal!" Kisuke said calmly.
Then, like needles inserted by an acupuncture master, numerous white fine needles emerged from various meridian nodes across Aizen's white body surface!
However, these Kido needles weren't for healing like an acupuncturist's… they were tools for killing!
Starting from the largest Reishi output ports on Aizen's hands, two massive rings bound Aizen's arms, then rapidly linked across his entire body!
Just as Kisuke stated, within Aizen's body, his own Reiatsu began to burn!
The blazing Reishi flames actually enveloped Aizen's entire body like a new cocoon, similar to a silkworm chrysalis!
And after all preparations were complete...
Boom!
A violent explosion erupted from deep within Aizen's body!
The dazzling light formed artistic shapes.
Merely looking at that brilliant light, everyone could grasp the terrifying power of Kisuke's technique!
"Guh... ugh..."
A painful groan came from Aizen!
Clearly, this time, Kisuke's attack launched from within Aizen's body had truly harmed him!
"How about it? Can it succeed?"
"This person Aizen is too terrifying!"
"If he can be dealt with just like that, that would be wonderful!"
Watching this scene, the audience in Ichigo's live stream were also full of anticipation.
Ichigo felt the same.
The current Aizen, like the Aizen from the original work, had reached the Hogyoku's second stage!
But from Ichigo's perspective, knowing the original work, the current Aizen was clearly not as strong as the original work's Aizen.
The original work's Aizen underwent perfect evolution. By the fusion stage with the Hogyoku, he had already surpassed the combined power of all the Espada.
Upon reaching the chrysalis stage, he completely ignored all attacks from Kisuke, Yoruichi, and Isshin.
Against the trio's combined assault, Aizen easily prevailed!
But now, due to Yamamoto's self-explosion, Ichigo's earlier strike, and even Kisuke's psychologically damaging 'spaghetti code' theory,
Aizen's evolutionary path wasn't smooth sailing… it was somewhat forced!
Just as Kisuke's 'spaghetti code' theory suggested, beneath Aizen's perfect exterior were numerous flaws, like ant nests!
Therefore, even having reached the chrysalis stage, Aizen could still be harmed by Kisuke!
He hadn't, like before, ascended to a new dimension upon reaching this stage!
Thus, moments later, Aizen, with the explosion ceased, reappeared before everyone!
Due to Kisuke's technique, Aizen's white chrysalis was forcibly shattered, revealing an interior like a void, glowing with purple light like a black hole!
Clearly, under Kisuke's attack, Aizen had undergone yet another evolution!
"What exactly is inside there? Is Aizen even human anymore?"
Looking at the body revealed by Aizen's shattered chrysalis, Isshin said in astonishment...
"Of course not!" Aizen replied calmly. "Now, I have reached a new level! The weaknesses of ordinary beings are no longer my weaknesses!"
"Urahara Kisuke, you sealed the various nodes of the spiritual pathways based on Shinigami characteristics?"
"I must say, Urahara Kisuke, this move of yours is an absolute killing technique against Shinigami!"
"So, thank you. I have evolved once again!!"
"Having discarded the weaknesses and traits of a Shinigami, my physical body has ascended to another dimension!"
Even covered in purple holes, Aizen had regained his previous composure!
