Although it was a good thing that the kido seal had been lifted, Aizen didn't feel particularly relieved about his situation. The reason was that this mysterious space and Uehara Shiroha standing before him gave him an incredibly strong sense of oppression that he couldn't quite explain.
But this shouldn't be possible according to everything he understood about power levels. Now he had recovered the spiritual pressure of a true transcendent being.
In his perception, Uehara Shiroha's spiritual pressure appeared to be only at an average level compared to his own overwhelming power. There was no doubt that his absolute strength far exceeded that of his opponent.
It was entirely possible that Uehara Shiroha couldn't even properly sense the full extent of his spiritual pressure. So why wasn't this person afraid of him? Why would he help remove the seal that had been containing him?
Was this guy really helping him, or was there so other motive at play? Also, what kind of transcendent experience and ability could open up a completely real world within a spiritual dinsion?
What kind of mysterious power did this space possess that made him feel genuinely uneasy despite his overwhelming strength?!
In the Infinite Dangai world, Uehara Shiroha calmly answered Aizen's mounting doubts: "This is the Infinite Void World! Just as you correctly guessed, this is a spiritual realm constructed entirely by my abilities."
"So in this infinite and boundless world, I am the eternal ruler who sits upon the throne of absolute authority. This is completely my domain, my reality."
"Here, I can even control the flow of ti itself. So even if we fight here for a year until the sky collapses and the earth breaks apart, it will have absolutely no impact on the outside world. To the outside world, only a single mont will have passed."
"You're welco to test this space however you like. If there are any powerful techniques you want to demonstrate, please show them with all your heart and full strength."
The current Aizen still possessed the spiritual pressure panel of a transcendent being, and was arguably even more threatening than the Hollow Aizen from earlier. Because there was no longer any Hollow influence clouding his judgnt, his opponent had regained his calm, calculating nature.
In addition, Uehara Shiroha had begun to deliberately strengthen both the Hogyoku and Aizen's connection to it through subtle manipulations.
Aizen imdiately understood the fundantal nature of this space: "It turns out to be a place similar to the Dangai, but far more advanced."
As for the claim about being an eternal ruler, he didn't take it completely at face value. Even as a god-like being, he himself couldn't accomplish sothing quite that absolute. It was better to listen to what enemies claid while exploring and judging the truth for himself.
"It seems you have cald down considerably, and that's very good!" Uehara Shiroha nodded with approval.
A panicking, irrational Aizen wasn't worth the challenge he was seeking. The purpose of his intervention was to completely defeat the strongest possible form of Aizen and at the sa ti unlock the greatest potential of the Hogyoku.
"I have to stay calm when facing soone like you." Aizen looked at Uehara Shiroha with a serious, calculating expression: "After Kurosaki Ichigo lost his Shinigami powers, you were the only one remaining at the sa level as , soone who is almost as powerful as I am."
"It's just that I believe I possess a power that you cannot reach or comprehend. Although I don't know exactly how you managed to save from that seal, this was ultimately a wrong choice on your part."
"Your arrogance and overconfidence will be your downfall."
While speaking these confident words, he kept trying to communicate with the Hogyoku, attempting to regain its full support and cooperation. He deliberately spoke with great confidence and acted very arrogantly just to observe Uehara Shiroha's reaction carefully.
In this way, Aizen could judge his opponent's true trump cards and real strength. As of now, he had categorized Uehara Shiroha as a Shinigami with transcendent abilities.
This spiritual space should be the primary reason why his opponent had been able to create miracles ti and again. People like this who were born with exceptionally strong souls and possessed miraculous powers were very rare, but they did exist throughout history.
For example, Ichigo Kurosaki and the Quincy leader Yhwach were such individuals, and even the Soul King might be such a being. In other words, his opponent might only possess an ability that surpassed ordinary Shinigami and Hollows, but didn't necessarily have the spiritual pressure and dinsional realm of true transcendents.
He still believed he surpassed his opponent in fundantal power level. But Aizen had already suffered a significant loss once before. Ichigo Kurosaki's final Getsuga Tensho had been a miraculous power of exactly this level.
As a result, he had been cut in half with one strike, and his body had been almost completely lted. So this ti, Aizen would not allow himself to be careless or underestimate his opponent.
Besides, he was genuinely curious about Uehara Shiroha's true nature and abilities. He cherished this opportunity to have an honest conversation very much. It would be ideal if he could sohow pull Uehara Shiroha to oppose Urahara Kisuke.
Aizen was truly disgusted by Urahara Kisuke's sanctimonious attitude and thods.
Feeling the extrely oppressive spiritual pressure that Aizen was quietly releasing as a test, Uehara Shiroha maintained a completely calm expression: "Don't misunderstand my intentions. I saved you only because you are genuinely useful to ."
"I am very curious about this power you claim can destroy . You can use whatever ans you want, I am completely at your disposal for this test!"
He had to admit, Aizen and the Hogyoku were indeed a perfect match in terms of ambition and power. However, this level of provocation and stimulation was not quite enough to wake the Hogyoku from its current dormant state.
It looked like he would need to escalate things significantly.
"Why don't you seem to care about the danger I represent?" Aizen asked with growing confusion: "So people believe that you possess fragnts of the Soul King's power to achieve what you have accomplished today."
"But I know that assessnt is not accurate. Because I don't see any trace of fear toward the Shinigami, the Gotei 13, the Seireitei nobles, or even the Soul King himself in your behavior or attitude."
"From the very beginning, you were never afraid of them, and you didn't even seem to care about them at all. In your eyes, the Soul King and the various gods seem to be no different from ordinary people."
"If you actually possessed the Soul King's power, you would definitely not be so completely indifferent as you are now. The only power you truly have is power that is completely your own and is engraved directly into your soul."
"That is an ability from the sa dinsional level as mine. You are born strong and are a natural god!"
