There were approximately one thousand people at the scene, including police officers and factory workers.

Those with any real strength were basically nonexistent. After fighting for a while, a few cultists suddenly forced Kenpachi and the Captain-Commander to retreat.

They began to retreat towards the underground altar, laughing as they ran. Aizen, fearing they wouldn't activate the altar, had to chase after them even though he didn't want to.

The police outside only controlled the factory workers; they didn't attack inside because the superhuman force hadn't arrived yet.

They simply surrounded the enemy from the outside, while Aizen and his two companions leisurely pursued them from behind.

The others, however, thought they were too good for the others to catch up with, and kept mocking the three of them the whole way.

If it weren't for the fact that a few idiots were about to die, Aizen and the other two would really have lost control.

Upon arriving at the altar, the group immediately activated it. Aizen and the other two stood outside the matrix.

He looked at the people inside with eyes that showed concern for those with intellectual disabilities.

Unaware of their surroundings, the group continued to mock Aizen relentlessly.

He shouted loudly, "Hahaha, soon the great Flesh and Blood Assassin, His Majesty Padridge Hall, will descend!"

Then all of you hypocrites will become part of Lord Padridge Hall's retinue.

And this filthy world will be purified.

But then they felt their flesh and blood being devoured by the array, all under the watchful, almost caring gazes of Aizen and the other two.

Several cult members were then dismembered and devoured amidst screams of terror.

The police and workers outside were all astonished by the sudden appearance of the formation's effect.

Many police officers watched the light and shadow effects with tension, as such an event usually indicates a major incident.

But after everyone waited anxiously for a long time, all they got was the completion of the formation.

A spatial passage was opened, summoning a powerful demon from the fourth realm. This creature must possess intelligence.

When it realized that only it had come, its bewildered expression was clearly visible.

It looked around and, once it was sure it was really alone, it began its all-out breakout attempt.

Its physical form resembles a hairless gorilla, possibly due to its primate appearance, and it clearly possesses high intelligence.

When it saw that things were not going well, it tried to break through and escape. We all laughed at its panicked appearance.

Aizen dealt with this fourth-realm demon, especially one that was intelligent, very quickly.

After even the body was packed up and taken away, the rest was handed over to the police for processing.

By this time, other experts had arrived one after another. We did not retreat, but simply observed from the sidelines.

This incident was clearly orchestrated; the police arrived far too quickly and in such large numbers.

Normally, when something like this happens, the police wouldn't send so many people at once.

Unless they already knew what was going on here, they wouldn't have sent so many people during the joint operation.

But if they knew there was a problem here, they wouldn't have sent so many ordinary people.

Someone must have given us false information, deliberately leading the police to their deaths.

We all carefully observed the police station leaders below, trying to see who was surprised by the result.

But we failed; at least none of the people who came to the scene did.

There was no surprise on their faces, but my guess was definitely right.

The sacrificial array is activated by life force; the people involved don't need to be very strong, but their numbers must be large enough.

The food factory workers, along with the later excessive police presence, must have been prepared as sacrificial offerings.

If it succeeds, the one they'll probably be able to recruit is that fat bastard, Padridge Hall.

At the very least, it's one of his very strong clones, definitely not someone to be trifled with.

But now we've ruined it; actually, it's the flesh-and-blood assembler, Padridge Hall.

He's harder to deal with than the others because all he requires is vitality.

There are no requirements regarding the quality of the offerings, as long as the quantity is large; the offerings are basically easy to obtain.

Once it arrives, it is the most destructive and the most difficult to eradicate.
