Bleach: The Invincible Slacker from Rukongai

The most critical of these was the Unlimited Blade Works. Only the power of EX skill could pry open the basic rules of the world and bring the power of Shunkyō to the extreme, even beyond the original limit.

The Mind gem could maximize the power of the mind and had an effect similar to creating a soul. In this way, Uehara Shiroha could fully materialize the power of Shunkyō's small world.

It was a pity that his Reiatsu wasn't enough now, and he couldn't really create a world. However, such means couldn't be achieved even by ordinary transcendents.

In this regard, Shiroha thought to himself, "It's meaningless to just bend the rules. However, I have a clearer plan for the future. I just need to slowly complete the tasks and get the rewards, and then I can change the world naturally. As long as I am strong enough, I am the world!"

In the Soul King Palace, in the "Phoenix Hall" of the Hōōden, Ōetsu Nimaiya, who was dressed like a rapper, frowned and exclaimed:

"It's so cool that something like this actually happened! How did this happen? If it was just Shikai or Bankai, the Zanpakutō wouldn't have changed like this, and I couldn't even lock its position. Uehara Shiroha, right? You really gave me a lot of surprises!"

As the third member of the Zero Division, the God of the Sword, and the administrator of the Phoenix Hall, Ōetsu Nimaiya had the title of Sword God. This was because he was good at forging swords, and more importantly, because he was the creator of Zanpakutō.

Since the birth of Soul Society, all Zanpakutō had been made by him. He could know the location and status of all Zanpakutō. This was his ability and his power.

All Zanpakutō, all Asauchi, could not be hidden from his perception and observation. The name "Sword God" was well earned!

Except for that sword, the sword that belonged to Uehara Shiroha.

From the beginning, the Sword God vaguely sensed the extraordinariness of that sword. A Zanpakutō like this had unimaginable potential, and it might even be on par with the strongest Zanpakutō such as Ryūjin Jakka and Hyōrinmaru.

Sure enough, the power of that sword became stronger and stronger, and in the end it even reached the level of ancient artifacts such as Ichimonji and Nanao's Shinken Hakkyōken.

The more mysterious and unpredictable the aura became, the more it made people wary. Until now, the sword had suddenly jumped to a new level—a realm that even the Sword God Ōetsu Nimaiya could not see through or even understand.

Not only could he not sense the strength, potential, or specific location of this sword, he could not even sense its existence, as if this sword no longer existed in this world.

But this was actually impossible. Not to mention that the owner of the sword, Uehara Shiroha, was still alive, even if the owner of the sword died, the Zanpakutō would still exist and would not escape his perception.

As the Sword God, as the creator of Zanpakutō, as a member of the Zero Division, he was actually surpassed by the sword he forged with his own hands. This was really unexpected and shocking!

After a moment of exclamation, Ōetsu Nimaiya chose to report the news to the captain of the Zero Division.

After hearing the news, the tall Ichibē Hyōsube stroked his black beard and frowned, as if he realized something. He laughed and said:

"Hahaha, this is interesting. I control the names of everything, including Zanpakutō. A name is power! This is the case with Zanpakutō's release and Bankai. But now, the sword's Bankai has not changed its true name. Logically, the sword's ability shouldn't change too much, and it shouldn't be out of your control. If this happens, it can only mean that Uehara Shiroha has obtained some amazing opportunity!"

As a traditional old bureaucrat, the monk didn't like variables like Uehara Shiroha. At the beginning, he didn't take him seriously. Because relying on the revelations of the Soul King, he could peek into the future.

Coupled with his ability to control the true name of all things, it was not an exaggeration to say that he could control the present and the future. Therefore, although Uehara Shiroha's talent was amazing, since the Soul King did not alert him, it meant that Uehara could not affect their plans.

Even now, Ichibē Hyōsube thought the same. It was just that he had previously believed the other party would not fully develop before dying. When Uehara Shiroha developed Bankai, this possibility was almost zero.

Vaguely hearing about the horror of the sword, Ichibē Hyōsube thought that with Uehara Shiroha's character and ability, it was impossible for him to be killed. Then, if the Soul King did not warn him, it could only mean that Uehara's existence would have no effect on their plans.

As for why his Zanpakutō had suddenly become this undefinable entity, there were many possibilities. Because he had no specific information, Ichibē Hyōsube could not make an accurate judgment.

With his cautious character, he did not take action before Uehara Shiroha grew up, and it was even more impossible for him to take action now. He made the same choice as Yhwach and Aizen—to wait and see.

Hearing Ichibē Hyōsube's answer, the Sword God Ōetsu Nimaiya was suddenly startled and could not help but exclaim, "Is this the will of that lord?"

If Uehara Shiroha had obtained the protection of the Soul King or the Soul King's power, then everything would make sense. The power of the Soul King was not only something he couldn't see through or sense, but even Ichimonji's Shirafude Ichimonji and Yhwach's The Almighty could not affect it.

"No, the Soul King did not pay attention to Uehara Shiroha," Ichibē Hyōsube said, thinking of another possibility. "It could also be the power of Hell. If that person made a move, then everything would make sense."

Thinking of the existence in Hell that even the Soul King couldn't see through, the Sword God Ōetsu Nimaiya and Zero Squad Leader Ichibē Hyōsube both had a headache.

But they were confident. The two were old monsters who had lived for countless tens of thousands of years, experienced countless storms and waves, and witnessed countless evil beings. A mere Shinigami would not make them panic.

However, the two old monsters never for a moment considered that Uehara Shiroha had relied on his own ability to make his Zanpakutō reach transcendence.

In Las Noches, Rukia met her destined enemy—the Noveno Espada, Aaroniero Arruruerie.

Unlike those three-digit Arrancars, this one was a real Espada. Moreover, Aaroniero was the only Espada that evolved from the lower-level Gillian class of Hollow.

He was also one of the first batch of Hollows to be transformed into Arrancar. Aaroniero especially liked to use tactics and had a particularly devious heart.

His ability was also in line with his insidious character, and it sounded very impressive. Aaroniero's ability was called Infinite Evolution, and his Zanpakutō was called Glotonería, which could seize the abilities and Reiatsu of other Hollows to achieve infinite evolution.

He claimed to have devoured 33,650 Hollows, and had infinite possibilities in the future, making him an invincible existence. Even Octava Espada Szayelaporro actually wanted to study him.

If it weren't for Aizen's protection, he would have killed that bastard long ago. Although he was very arrogant, in fact, he was only the ninth of the Espada.

And Yammy was nominally the Décimo Espada, but in fact, he was the Cero Espada, which was outside the ranking. Therefore, Aaroniero was the Noveno Espada, the weakest of the numbered Espada.

Although his strength and ranking were at the bottom of the Espada, Aaroniero was very confident. His words were full of the heroic spirit of "heroes don't care about their origins, and the Espada don't care about their rankings," even to the point of being conceited.

Of course, facing Rukia, Aaroniero had reason to be conceited. The reason was that he had devoured the Hollow that killed Miyako Shiba and possessed Kaien Shiba.

The name of that Hollow was Metastacia, and it had the ability to seal the Zanpakutō of a Shinigami and fuse with spirits. It was this Hollow that sealed Kaien Shiba's Zanpakutō, thereby killing the head of the Shiba family, and used the ability of spirit fusion to absorb Kaien Shiba's spirit.

Metastacia was actually the product of Aizen's experiment. It was special research on Shinigami, and also a chess piece to test the Gotei 13 and the Great Noble Houses at that time.

Through this attack, Aizen determined that neither the Great Noble Houses nor the Gotei 13 was anything great. There was really nothing to pay attention to for an existence that could be controlled by an experimental product, and the threat level was not even as great as that of Uehara Shiroha alone.

Metastacia achieved an amazing record in its brief appearance. Not only did it kill the vice-captain of the 13th Division, Kaien Shiba, but it almost killed the captain of the 13th Division, Jūshirō Ukitake.

As an ordinary Hollow, its record could make the Espada feel ashamed. A group of arrogant Espada didn't even kill a single Shinigami in the end, and their record was zero.

In the entire battle, only Aizen killed two well-known Shinigami, one of whom was Kaname Tōsen and the other was Gin Ichimaru. The two were indeed captain-level combatants, but it was a pity that they were his own people. Aizen's behavior of "swiping heads" with his own people was indeed a bit unrefined.

Aaroniero swallowed Metastacia, who was seriously injured by Rukia, and only then did he gain the ability to fuse with another's spirit body. He also gained the Reiatsu, memory, and experience of Kaien Shiba.

As a result, he gained the ability to evolve infinitely, and was able to transform into Kaien Shiba without any flaws, and even use Kaien Shiba's Zanpakutō's Shikai.

Through memory, he knew that Rukia and Kaien Shiba were close. Therefore, he pretended to be Kaien Shiba and first had a "chat" with Rukia, and then launched a sneak attack.

In his opinion, he had an absolute advantage in strength, intelligence, and psychological control. How could he lose?

Rukia's performance was much more impressive than in the original timeline. In the original timeline, the reason why she was able to defeat Aaroniero was entirely because the other party was too careless.

It was just that this time, Rukia's strength had improved a lot. Moreover, the original knot in her heart was also weakened a lot under the strong comfort of Uehara Shiroha.

Therefore, even if Aaroniero pretended to be Kaien Shiba to attack her, Rukia did not suffer much. In terms of strength, she was much stronger than in the original timeline. What's more, she had Bankai as a life-saving trump card.

Therefore, Aaroniero died without any surprise. This was the first fallen Espada.

In the distance, Uehara Shiroha paid some attention to the battle. Rukia did not disappoint him and successfully took down the first Espada. This was also within his expectations.

After all, this Aaroniero had no other skills except talking tough, and his ability was also weak. He said that he could absorb the abilities and Reiatsu of other Hollows, and he claimed to have swallowed 33,650 Hollows.

As a result, even when pretending to be Kaien Shiba and attacking, Rukia was not hurt. His Reiatsu was pitifully weak. In the world of Bleach, if there was no Reiatsu support, no matter how fancy the ability was, it was useless.

On this issue, Lille Barro and other Sternritter who were killed by Ōetsu Nimaiya in seconds had something to say. If it weren't for Yhwach's Auswählen and strengthening their Reiatsu, they really couldn't have passed the Zero Division.

From the beginning, Uehara Shiroha didn't regard the Espada below the top three as worthy opponents. Ulquiorra was a little interesting, but only a little interesting.

The Reiatsu and abilities of the other top three Espada were barely worth seeing, and they were at the level of being able to fight. But they couldn't last more than a few moves, and he could crush them if he was a little more serious.

Of course, this was based on Uehara Shiroha's tyrannical strength. He had the confidence to look down on the top three Espada. But in the eyes of others, the top three Espada were all extremely strong, far beyond the ordinary captains.

Thinking of this, Uehara Shiroha's Observation Haki locked onto Aizen in Las Noches, who combed his hair like an elegant gentleman.

The Espada were just tools, and the only really tricky ones were the Hōgyoku and Aizen. Aizen fused with the complete Hōgyoku was indeed very challenging.

Of course, the challenge that Uehara Shiroha referred to was not whether he would win or not, but whether he could win completely. With the Unlimited Blade Works and Shunkyō, he would be invincible unless a strong individual at the Soul King Candidate level took action.

Aizen, who had fused with the Hōgyoku, was indeed a variable, but Uehara already knew the limit of this variable, so he was not to be feared.

The key was that Aizen, who had given up the power of the Shinigami and the Zanpakutō, was actually easier to deal with. This was a mistake made by his opponent, an unavoidable mistake.

Aizen actually chose a road of no return, an unknown path of evolution. This was the beauty of evolution, and the wrong evolution looked right. Aizen calculated everything, but in the end he still embarked on this unknown road.

This was a bit inconsistent with his opponent's habit of being cautious, but it was Aizen's only choice.

In fact, in terms of conspiracy and calculation, both Aizen and Kisuke Urahara were at the same level. The two also knew that it was necessary and safest to proceed step by step and act cautiously.

They both had the ability to prepare for battle to the extreme, both before and after. However, there were sometimes limitations, and Shinigami had their limits.

Even if they could do every detail to perfection, they would still encounter invincible enemies and insurmountable barriers. This was the limitation of the Shinigami.

The difference was that Kisuke Urahara chose to be patient, admitted his own shortcomings, and chose the mediocre path of being content with the status quo.

Aizen chose to take a risk and wanted to use the Hōgyoku and Hollowfication to win a way to the sky in the darkness. Hundreds of years of calculation and accumulation, just to transcend the limit and sit on the throne in the sky.

And all of this was at the fingertips of Uehara Shiroha. As long as he was alive, he could surpass the limit and laugh to the end. Lying down to win was a portrayal of his life.

Therefore, although Uehara Shiroha understood Aizen's choice, he really didn't envy or yearn for it at all. However, he could accept the other party's highest masterpiece with a smile:

"Aizen, you can't control the Hōgyoku! Leave it to me! Thank you for your hard work!"
