Bleach: The Invincible Slacker from Rukongai

"Is it because the pressure is not sufficient?" Thinking of this, Aizen glanced at Uehara Shiroha, who was also floating in the air and appeared completely relaxed.

He thought to himself with growing frustration: "No, the pressure is definitely more than enough. This space and Uehara Shiroha are putting enormous pressure on me. I have been pushed to the absolute edge and have reached my current limit."

"The problem is that my potential may not be sufficient. I have reached my personal limit, and even the Hogyoku may have exhausted its potential, but I am still falling short of the new Fifth Stage."

"The new Fifth Stage is proving more difficult to achieve than I had anticipated. Is this truly the end of my evolution?"

"It seems that Aizen is genuinely starting to risk everything he has." Looking at Aizen with purple crystal veins covering his entire body, Uehara Shiroha thought silently.

"This time the evolution has become far more refined, without any corrupted influence, and he hasn't become uglier in the process. Not only has his strength increased dramatically, his hair has also grown longer, giving him an almost divine appearance."

"After absorbing power enhanced by the Infinity Stones, the Hogyoku seemed to have undergone some kind of fundamental transformation. Aizen's exclusive enhancement artifact is indeed worthy of its legendary reputation."

"This thing is somewhat outrageous in its capabilities. No wonder even fragments of the Soul King can only satisfy its hunger momentarily. Since it's capable of consuming so much, why not feed it properly?"

"Aren't you still hungry for more power? It seems that it has finally reached its current limit. In that case, I will continue to be a 'good person and do good deeds.'"

After undergoing this new evolutionary process, the power manifestation of the Hogyoku had also fundamentally changed. The white substance was no longer forming steel-like armor plating.

Instead, part of it had transformed into a purple coat similar to a Shinigami's Shihakusho, while another portion actually resembled the spirit weapons used by Quincy.

At the same time, several dark purple energy crystals emerged from various points on Aizen's body, their light creating an echo with the Hogyoku's own radiance.

With these energy crystals and the Hogyoku serving as central focal points, dense purple patterns were derived and spread across his form. Lines of dark blue energy flowed slowly within these patterns, resembling some kind of supernatural circulatory system.

Aizen appeared as if he had entered a transcendent state, looking truly extraordinary. Uehara Shiroha was pleased to witness this development. The current Hogyoku represented exactly what he desired.

This kind of refined evolution was the power he had been pursuing all along. The previous transformations had been far too ugly and unstable for his tastes!

Thinking of this, Uehara Shiroha secretly continued to add fuel to the evolutionary fire. Both combatants were suspended in the air, their clothing rustling dramatically in the wind.

One of them carried six floating spiritual blades, shining with golden light, while the other had a body covered with intricate purple patterns, emanating a faint purple glow.

With the blessing of the Infinity Stones' power, the capabilities of the Hogyoku were brought to their absolute limit and even began to surpass previous boundaries.

Aizen had finally entered a true ultimate form once again, and it was a completely new version of that ultimate state. The new final form of Fifth Stage Aizen had arrived!

His eyes turned pure purple, his pupils became pure white, his long hair fluttered dramatically, and his reiatsu increased by several orders of magnitude. There were several mysterious purple markings adorning his face.

At the same time, various crystalline formations had been refined into more elegant structures. Some crystals had transformed into two massive purple butterfly wings.

Different from the previous white butterfly wings that had resembled some kind of disturbing alien appendage, these two purple butterfly wings were filled with holiness and the essence of life itself, completely free of any disgusting skull-like formations.

The remaining crystals appeared like purple eyes, decorating the purple armor and observing the world with an otherworldly gaze.

At this moment, Aizen extended his right hand, which had taken on a bone-white appearance with hints of metallic coloration, and declared: "I will transcend all limitations! Face the wrath of a god, Uehara Shiroha!"

"This time, you will not escape unscathed! Your strength is definitely inferior to mine! I have finally surpassed you!"

"How impressive!" After saying this, Uehara Shiroha's figure disappeared once again. He activated his transcendent-level ability, enhanced Hoho techniques.

When he reappeared, he had already struck toward Aizen's purple outer armor with his blade. The sophisticated outer armor possessed unimaginable defensive capabilities and could easily deflect most attacks.

In Uehara Shiroha's assessment, such defensive power was comparable to his own Universal Barrier. The brand new ultimate Aizen was indeed quite formidable. This was exactly what he had been hoping to see!

Then, unifying himself with his blade, he activated spatial manipulation techniques: "Dangai Severance!"

The originally indestructible purple Fifth Stage outer armor was completely shattered by the attack. However, along with the armor, "Aizen" himself was also destroyed.

The Aizen in front of him turned out to be an illusion created by Kyoka Suigetsu's perfect hypnosis.

Aizen's calm voice echoed from high above them: "Shatter, Kyoka Suigetsu! Uehara Shiroha, you have been far too careless!"

As Uehara Shiroha was affected by the complete hypnosis, his attack had missed its intended target and he had fallen into a potentially vulnerable position. He was now within Aizen's optimal attack range.

The previous ultimate attack had nearly defeated Mugetsu Ichigo Kurosaki. The ultimate technique performed by this new Fifth Stage would undoubtedly be far more terrifying.

In the distance, Aizen looked down at Uehara Shiroha with an expression of divine compassion: "I am fundamentally different now than I was before. The new Fifth Stage is absolutely perfect!"

"When did you develop the illusion that I could no longer use Kyoka Suigetsu effectively? Ultimate Cero!"
