Chapter 617 - 617 A Child's Trick

As soon as Shinji finished speaking, Aizen's mind suddenly felt hazy, and then the entire world before his eyes was inverted.

"Up and down... left and right are also reversed." In just an instant, Aizen realized what had happened.

"This is the ability of my Zanpakuto, Sakanade. It reverses the opponent's neural control system, turning everything upside down, like a trap in Tetris. How about it? Interesting, right? But... you don't look like someone who plays games..."

Before his words even faded, Shinji suddenly swung his sword and charged at Aizen.

But Aizen just smiled calmly, not taking the charging Shinji seriously at all.

"This is indeed quite interesting... up and down, left and right are all reversed, and also..."

"...!"

Before Aizen finished speaking, he suddenly turned behind him.

And Shinji's figure happened to suddenly appear behind Aizen.

Seeing Aizen suddenly turn around to look at him, Shinji, who had suddenly appeared 'behind' Aizen, also showed a 'surprised' expression.

Seeing Shinji's 'surprised' expression, Aizen couldn't help but laugh triumphantly: "You didn't think... I wouldn't notice you attacking from behind me, did you?"

Perhaps because Aizen had seen through his scheme, Shinji, somewhat embarrassed and angry, swung his sword at Aizen.

And Aizen calmly swung his Zanpakuto to meet Shinji's attack.

However, contrary to Aizen's expectation, the two Zanpakuto that should have clashed together instead passed each other like two shooting stars.

Sclick!

Blood bloomed. A wound appeared on Aizen's right arm.

"What?" Aizen exclaimed in surprise.

"You really didn't notice, did you, Aizen. If up, down, left, right, front, and back are all reversed... then the direction you see and the direction you swing... are naturally also reversed." The 'Shinji' behind Aizen dissipated like a flower in a mirror or the moon in water, while his real figure appeared in front of Aizen.

Hearing Shinji's words, Aizen frowned and looked at Shinji in front of him. And without a doubt, the Shinji reflected in Aizen's eyes was 'upside down'.

"Up, down, left, right, front, back... the direction of the wound... can you convert every single one in your head and then go fight?"

Without waiting for Aizen to answer, Shinji said proactively: "Impossible! Such a person simply cannot exist! The stronger a person is! The richer their combat experience! The more their body will... fight by conditioned reflex!!"

Having said that, Shinji charged at Aizen again, swinging his sword.

Whoosh!

A flash of blade light. The two figures crossed paths.

Then Aizen's expression was calm, while Shinji's was horrified.

"What's this... I thought it was something impressive. Turns out it's just an optical illusion..." Aizen said disdainfully with his back to Shinji.

Stab—!!

As Aizen finished speaking, blood suddenly sprayed from Shinji's back.

"Compared to my Kyoka Suigetsu's ability to control the five senses... you're still far behind, Hirako Shinji." Aizen mocked. "Even if the directions of up, down, left, right, front, and back are reversed, it's no big deal. You just have to get used to it. Your ability is nothing more than a child's trick..."

Having said that, Aizen was about to attack again and kill Shinji.

"Aizen!!!"

Just as Aizen was about to act, an extremely angry voice suddenly came from the ground below.

Aizen turned and glanced at the ground below, saying indifferently: "Kaname died too? What a useless thing."

"Aizen! You bastard..."

Komamura roared, charging from the ground towards Aizen in the sky.

Earlier, after Komamura and Shuhei had defeated Tosen, Tosen had seen the error of his ways and sincerely repented, persuaded by Komamura.

Just as Komamura was overjoyed, thinking he could be with his friend again, Tosen suddenly exploded!

Yes! He suddenly exploded! Shattered into pieces, leaving no body behind.

The reason Tosen suddenly exploded was that after his defeat, the power Aizen had left within his body went out of control and detonated.

So in a sense, Tosen could be considered to have died at Aizen's hands. Thus, Komamura's anger at this moment was understandable.

"Calm down, Komamura!"

Just as Komamura was about to reach Aizen, Kyoraku suddenly appeared and stopped him.

"Sorry, Captain Kyoraku. I was impulsive."

Komamura was not an irrational person. He had just been blinded by the death of his closest friend. Stopped by Kyoraku, he calmed down, knowing that if he charged up rashly, he would end up like Hiyori.

"Well, Komamura, I understand your feelings. But with Aizen's strength, neither you nor I alone can handle him. So if we want revenge, we should all attack together. I'm sure... you all feel the same way. Right, everyone?" At the end, Kyoraku looked at the Vizard led by Shinji and the Shinigami of the Gotei 13.

After Shinji was wounded by Aizen, not only had the Vizard gathered, but the Gotei 13 Shinigami had also surrounded the area, looking very much like they were about to gang up on Aizen.

"Ah... at this point, it seems the only way to defeat Aizen is to cooperate with you."

After the previous fight, Shinji clearly understood that he alone was no match for Aizen, so he did not refuse Kyoraku's request for cooperation.

"Heh, I suppose I should praise you... for being smart enough not to want to fight me one-on-one," Aizen said with a light laugh, seeing Kyoraku and the others discussing ganging up on him as if he wasn't there.

"Sigh, you really want to call us despicable, don't you, Captain Aizen," Kyoraku said with self-awareness.

"If that's how it sounds to you, I can correct it, Captain Kyoraku," Aizen said indifferently.

"No need, because we fully intend to attack you despicably," Kyoraku admitted directly.

Having said that, Kyoraku immediately shouted: "Let's go!"

"Wait!" Toshiro's voice suddenly rang out.

Step, step, step...

Toshiro walked across the void and entered the field.

"Step back, Shunsui. With your strength, even if you all attack together, you're no match for Aizen. There's no need for pointless sacrifices." Toshiro faced Aizen directly, his back to Kyoraku.

"Heh, finally ready to act? Hitsugaya Toshiro..." Seeing Toshiro appear, a glint flashed in Aizen's eyes.
