Fifth Division Barracks

With Shinji Hirako's defection following his Hollowfication, regulations stipulated that Aizen Sousuke, as the lieutenant, temporarily assume leadership of the division. At this moment, Aizen was calmly issuing orders to a seated officer in his squad.

"Datian, you've been working hard these past couple of days. Assisting other divisions with the search at the Department of Research and Development tomorrow is something I'll personally oversee," Aizen said with a warm smile.

The seated officer, a large, somewhat burly man, seemed flattered as he bowed deeply. "Lieutenant Aizen, this is my duty. You're too kind to say so."

Aizen's eyes flickered with a peculiar light before his smile subtly faded. His tone softened but carried a faint edge. "Datian, while I appreciate your diligence and potential, our Fifth Division is still recovering from recent upheavals. It's imperative to focus on stability and discipline rather than harboring distractions."

He paused, his expression tinged with regret. "I apologize about Captain Hirako. However, I am only acting as the squad's captain. Please continue addressing me as lieutenant."

The seated officer looked momentarily bewildered but quickly bowed again. "Understood, Lieutenant Aizen. I'll remember your guidance."

Aizen gazed at the officer, sighed lightly, and added, "My apologies if I was too harsh. Thoughts of Captain Hirako weighed on my mind and made me momentarily lose composure. I hope you'll forgive me."

The seated officer appeared visibly moved, about to reply when a distant voice rang out:

"Attention, all captains and lieutenants! This is Chōjirō Sasakibe..."

Aizen's expression briefly shifted to one of amusement, a subtle smile playing across his lips, before quickly reverting to his usual approachable demeanor. "Datian, gather the other seated officers. We must head to the Central 46 Chambers immediately to support the Captain Commander!"

"Yes, Lieutenant!"

Fourth Division Barracks

In the Fourth Division, Captain Unohana Retsu was already summoning her subordinates, preparing to depart for the Central 46 Chambers. On her way, a glimmer of concern flickered in her eyes.

"Four centuries… What level of power have you attained now?" Unohana mused silently.

Phoenix Palace – Royal Guard

In the Royal Guard's Phoenix Palace, Ōetsu Nimaiya was casually chatting with several attendants. Among them, a young woman with braided hair and an eyepatch covering her right eye glared at him.

"Lord Nimaiya, you're too much! You've gone too far this time!"

"Ah, come on, Little Mela! I was just teasing!" Nimaiya chuckled as he dodged her fiery outburst using Shunpo.

Just as the lively banter continued, Nimaiya suddenly froze as Chōjirō's emergency call reached him. His playful expression gave way to sharp focus. In an instant, he vanished.

The attendants exchanged uneasy glances. "Why did Lord Nimaiya seem tense before leaving? Is it because of the Central 46 Chambers? But isn't our duty to protect the Soul King?"

Central 46 Chambers – Battle

Captain Commander Yamamoto Genryūsai stood amidst the ruined corridor outside the Central 46 Chambers, gripping Ryūjin Jakka tightly. Opposite him stood Aaron, shrouded in cold, unyielding confidence.

Following an initial clash, Yamamoto realized that achieving victory without using Bankai might be impossible. However, unleashing his full power risked catastrophic consequences for the Soul Society.

To his dismay, he noticed his reiatsu and spiritual energy subtly diminishing, seemingly drawn away by an unnatural force.

"You hesitate because you're afraid of the damage your power could cause, Captain Commander?" Aaron sneered. "If that's the case, you should step aside. After all, the Central 46 Chambers are insignificant compared to the entirety of the Soul Society."

"You dare insult the Captain Commander?" Chōjirō Sasakibe interjected, stepping forward.

"Bankai! Kōkō Gonryō Rikyū!"

Chōjirō's Zanpakutō unleashed its power, summoning a massive canopy of thunder and lightning above Aaron. The open sky above the Central 46 Chambers darkened as a storm of purple lightning descended, striking with deafening roars.

Aaron remained unshaken, his figure consumed by the lightning storm. A colossal shadow of a blade emerged from the storm, cutting through the air and aiming directly for Yamamoto and Chōjirō.
