As for which world it was, he didn't know.
"The Devil Is a Part-Timer!," "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!", "Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World-," and other anime with isekai (another world) settings all have an isekai world view, and the strength limit of these isekai worlds is 1.
3. Average, not particularly high.
However, there are exceptions. For example, there is a certain Ainz Ooal Gown who is rather unscientific. But judging from the timeline, even if this world really has the Ainz Ooal Gown worldview, he probably wouldn't have been born by the time the Bleach storyline started.
"No, if killing those monsters can make you stronger, why does the Spirit Court need to block information?"
Wouldn't having the Gotei 13 team up to kill enemies strengthen the Soul Society even more?
After listening to Retsu Unohana's account, Aizen couldn't help but raise his own questions.
No, there's no need.
Killing a monster provides a negligible increase in power, perhaps only one in ten million. Raising troops would only dilute the energy needed for the captains to grow stronger, and they wouldn't be able to grow quickly either, plus there's the possibility of information leaks.
Aizen narrowed his eyes, opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.
Chapter 85 Arrancar Transformation and Death Transformation 5/8
"Lord Aizen! That woman dared to injure you! I'm going to kill her!"
"Calm down, calm down."
"Hey, do you intend to betray Lord Aizen, Minori?!" Aizen encountered a headache as soon as he returned to the lab to get his medicine.
The image of the arrogant twin-tailed girl, seemingly bursting with anger, and the androgynous, submissive girl pulling at her is truly jarring.
Aizen was thinking about when he should go to Hueco Mundo to establish Las Noches and get rid of this twin-tailed girl as soon as possible; her constant chatter was really annoying.
"Okay, I'm fine."
It was just a friendly exchange of swordsmanship.
As soon as Aizen spoke with a smile, Lori immediately...
She calmed down, but her delicate face still held a sullen expression as she protested, "But that woman went too far! Lord Aizen was already being lenient with her, yet she still dared to push her luck."
Aizen smiled without saying a word.
He didn't ask why Lori knew he wasn't serious. In this brainwashed fan's mind, he was probably already deified as the strongest and invincible. If he got injured, it must be because he was holding back; defeat was impossible.
More than that, Aizen was very concerned about the information revealed by Retsu Unohana.
An invasion from another world, goblins, monster slaying and leveling up.
That's right, out of that long message, only these three "3"s were actually useful to Aizen.
Other things cannot be explained simply by words; only by witnessing them firsthand can the answer be discerned.
These three pieces of information, when strung together, form what is... a standard isekai (otherworld) game.
Unfortunately, there are many anime worlds with similar settings in the world of anime and manga, but we'll have to wait for the right time to find out which one it is.
Compared to the "lack of attention" from Soul Society and the Nura Clan
Aizen, however, felt that this might be a great opportunity. Wasn't the fun concept of leveling up by fighting monsters a good way to grind levels and clear dungeons?
As for what Unohana Retsu said, "Holy crap, how much more experience do you want from a high-level character fighting newbie monsters?" Aizen plans to use Kyoka Suigetsu to take advantage of the situation and bring back a batch of goblins to raise. He'll first get a batch for experiments, and then breed the offspring in captivity to use as experience packs for his subordinates later.
In addition, the last such action was a century ago.
This indicates that Yoruichi Shihōin and Kisuke Urahara, along with their group of defector captains, did not experience this event.
Currently, among the captains of the Gotei 13, only old man Yamamoto, Kyoraku Ukitake's close friends, Unohana Retsu, and that old guy Kuchiki Ginrei know about this.
After grumbling for a while and calming down a bit, Lori's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Lord Aizen, you have two more swords. Are they Zanpakuto? They look so magnificent."
Upon hearing this, Menori, who was narrating, also looked over cautiously.
Compared to Lori, who had been with Aizen for six years, Minori, as a newcomer, still felt fear and timidity.
"This is indeed my Zanpakuto; it's very powerful."
"Lord Aizen is indeed very powerful!"
"Hehe, you'll have that too someday."
"Eh"
Lori stared at Ran with her mouth agape, her expression slightly excited: "Are you serious?"
"Is...is this even possible?"
Minori, standing to the side, also stared wide-eyed. Zanpakuto—the power of Shinigami—could even Hollows possess it? It sounded like a complete fantasy.
"Of course, once Adjuchas's experiment is successful, I will put the process of becoming a Death God on the agenda."
Aizen smiled slightly and said with considerable confidence.
"Lord Aizen is the best!"
Lori Evan was so excited that she couldn't contain herself and didn't doubt the truth of Aizen's words at all.
Isn't it normal that Lord Aizen is omnipotent? Actually, Aizen is quite helpless inside.
He had always thought that "the void breaks through five, and the surface transforms."
That's equivalent to "the Hollowfication of the Shinigami".
Later, when he discovered that Lori didn't have a Zanpakuto and couldn't release it, he suddenly realized that these two things were probably not the same.
Breaking through the fifth stage and becoming tangible is just one direction of virtual evolution, relying on the direction of human form evolution.
In fact, once a Hollow reaches the level of a Vasto Lorde, it gradually begins to possess human physical characteristics. Furthermore, the stronger the spiritual pressure, the fewer physical characteristics a Hollow possesses, and the lower the coverage area of its mask.
Therefore, Aizen's breakthrough to level 5 using the Hogyoku was not perfect; each time he achieved level 5, the Hollows behind the masks still had remnants of their masks remaining on their faces.
In terms of shape, it resembles...
Stark is the fifth one to break through, the one with the deepest evolution in terms of appearance. Before he split off into Lylynet, he was almost completely like a human, except for a small piece of mask on his throat and left eye.
Before any changes, Stark's appearance was similar to those of the Espada who had broken through to the fifth level, and the mask on his left eye disappeared after Lilynette split off.
This split is Stark's "self-destruction and face-shaping."
However, in Aizen's eyes, his transformation into a fifth-level being was not a true transformation into a fifth-level being.
Rather than saying that Stark broke through to the fifth level and transformed into a mask, it would be more accurate to say that he separated that small piece of the mask from his body, transforming it into Lilynette.
Strictly speaking, his strength actually decreased after reaching level 5 and his Resurrection was just a matter of regaining his power. His level 5 breakthrough and his Resurrection did not increase his strength.
A true and perfect breakthrough to the fifth level should involve Stark's spiritual pressure increasing to the point where it naturally shatters the last small piece of his mask, rather than severing that piece of mask and part of his soul to weaken himself.
Breaking through five layers, the Shinigami transformation, means gaining the ability to unleash swords.
Unlike Shinigami, the release of Hōgokumen involves sealing Hōgokumen back into the "human body".
The internal nucleus is freed again.
To put it more precisely, it's the true breaking of the fifth level, where one's spiritual pressure gradually shatters their mask, making them more and more like a human.
As the spiritual pressure increased, the portion of the form that belonged to the void did not disappear; it simply transformed into a "core."
It exists deep within the body.
The Hollow's Shinigami transformation involves using the Hogyoku to unleash a portion of its hidden power, causing part of the Hollow's form to revert to Hollow form.
Therefore, that… “core”
This is equivalent to the "core power" hidden within the Grim Reaper.
So, while it's said that they've unleashed their power, their actual strength won't decline to the level of breaking five; instead, their current state will be further enhanced! Stark is a rather special case.
He doesn't have a Zanpakuto, and his Resurrection Blade isn't a true Resurrection Blade.
He simply retrieved Lilynette, who had become weaker due to the split, and restored himself to his original strength.
Whether it's breaking through to the fifth level, transforming into a physical form, or resurrecting with a blade, neither of these actually provides him with any increase in power.
In terms of abilities, Breaking Through Five Elements and Surface Transformation are Hollows' growth systems, while Zanpakuto are Shinigami's growth systems.
Resurrección is essentially a Hollow with an added Shinigami system, while Visored is a Shinigami with an added Hollow system.
Therefore, Breaking Five, Mask Transformation, and Shinigami Transformation are two different things.
Breaking through the fifth level and transforming into a form is a process of Hollows evolving autonomously, much like how Shinigami develop and perfect their Zanpakuto abilities.
The Hollowfication of Shinigami corresponds to the 600 Hollowfication of Shinigami, meaning Resurrection corresponds to Visored, not the five-stage Hollowfication. Note: The above is my personal theory and the setting of this book. Whether you agree with it or not is up for discussion. At least within the setting of this book, this setting is self-consistent.
Therefore, in a purely virtual system, only when one reaches the level of complete breaking through the five and becoming fully dimensional can one correspond to the limit of the Shinigami.
Stark, who didn't conduct either of the two experiments, was also the closest to the "limit of the unreal."
That is, the closest existence to the virtual level.
In other words, as long as he accepts the Breakthrough Five and Surface Transformation experiment, he may truly reach the level of Perfect Breakthrough Five and Surface Transformation, and initially step into that realm.
In the original work, Aizen might not have thought it through, or the Hogyoku's effects on others might not be able to reach that level. However, in Aizen's view, it's more likely that the Starks themselves wouldn't accept it, and Aizen's attitude in the original work was indifferent.
The Starks don't value strength to begin with, and besides, with Lilynette perfectly breaking through to level five, it's uncertain whether she'll even exist after transforming into a human.
For the Starks, it was clearly unnecessary to exchange a completely unappealing condition for the immense risk of losing their comrades.
However, it seems there's been a problem with how his research findings are being used.
If a Hollow breaks through to the fifth level before Vasto Lorde, its dimensional transformation directly loses the possibility of further evolution. The correct way to use the fifth level and dimensional transformation is to break through to the fifth level autonomously within Vasto Lorde, and to achieve a very high degree of dimensional transformation.
Even if you can't achieve it all at once, you can gradually reach the level of breaking through the five planes.
But if they break five points before Vastode, they're doomed! "There's still plenty of time, we can take it slow."
Chapter 86 Death God Version Dragon Slayer Mage 6/8
Having broken through to level 5 ahead of schedule, how will the surface-formed Gillian and Adjuchas continue to evolve? This will soon become Aizen's next experimental question.
As someone who could create the Hogyoku and also developed some advanced technologies, Aizen felt that he was the most authoritative figure in academic research at the evolutionary level.
It should only be a matter of time before he produces research results, and once he succeeds, he might be able to command an army of ten Vastodes.
He felt the Espada from the original work were a bit underwhelming.
In team battles, I doubt we can defeat the Holy Cross Knights of the Unseen Empire.
He aspires to surpass the gods, to transcend everything, and to reach the pinnacle of excellence. It would be too shameful if his subordinates couldn't defeat the others.
In the original story, Aizen used the Espada as cannon fodder, which ultimately stemmed from his differential view of Hollows.
Why do we say Aizen knew? Because before he awakened his past life memories through the Hogyoku, he actually had such thoughts to some extent.
Power itself is neither right nor wrong, but he still harbored some prejudice against beings like the Hollow.
However, these memories are lost after they are awakened.
Compared to a traitor who betrayed him on his deathbed, the Blade was actually more loyal to him than a traitor who remained hidden from beginning to end.
Those ranked three, four, seven, and ten are considered staunchly loyal subordinates.
Numbers 1, 5, 6, 8, and 9 all have loyalty levels above the acceptable threshold.
Compared to the two Shinigami subordinates who were 100% traitors, the Espada's traitors were only 10%, which is...
Barragán.
Compared to all these trivial matters, Aizen cared more about the two swords the system had given him at this moment.
According to the system, it seems to have suffered a huge loss this time.
Upon closer inspection, Aizen realized he had actually made a huge profit.
This is what his current attribute panel looks like.
Host: Aizen + Iori Ryouju: + Talent: Abilities: Zanpakuto: Kyoka Suigetsu, Zanpakuto: Kageryu, Zanpakuto: Hakuryu, Kido Mastery +, Top-tier Kendo, Shunpo +, Clone Step +, Hakuda Mastery, Three-Sword Style +, English Props: Half-finished Hogyoku +, System Shop Half-price Coupon Actor: Kanzuki 71% Subordinates: Okada Izo Subordinates: Higashi Joe, Numaseka Actor Value: You read that right, Aizen's strength has soared to + just because of two swords.
Because those are two Zanpakuto, powers originating from the depths of a Shinigami's soul.
However, these two swords did not belong to Aizen; they were forcibly implanted into him from the outside. Therefore, the two swords could not occupy the spiritual pressure belonging to Kyoka Suigetsu. Thus, they are equivalent to Kyoka Suigetsu, each representing a portion of spiritual pressure.
Although they were implanted from the outside, the two swords themselves had completely absorbed Aizen's essence, to the point that the spiritual pressure amplification brought by these two swords was based on Aizen's level of talent.
As a result, Aizen's spiritual pressure reached 3! His strength instantly soared to +, and even his talent was boosted accordingly.
As a vigilant sage, Aizen only felt at ease after repeatedly confirming that the two swords had been completely absorbed into his own, and even using the Hogyoku to verify it.
Suddenly, Aizen's fear of Shiba Isshin vanished completely.
