"If we continue like this, the barrier will be destroyed soon, and the real Karakura Town will be moved back to the human world..." Duke muttered to himself that it was troublesome, and instantly appeared in front of Aizen.

Aizen was stunned and asked in confusion: "Vice-Captain Duke, are we going to start now?"

Duke reached out and tapped his chest, then asked, "Hasn't your evolution already begun?"

"I thought you would challenge me in the end..." Aizen smiled calmly when he heard this, and opened his clothes to reveal the Hogyoku that was integrated with him: "This is also the purpose of leaving you in Hueco Mundo. I thought you had the same idea as me, to verify yourself before the end."

"Plans change so quickly! Once the captain has dealt with the two Hollows, he will point his knife at you. I don't want to see that."

"Are you worried that I will be defeated by them?" Aizen asked playfully, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

"No, I'm very clear about Captain Aizen's strength. I'm just afraid that they will come up and die." Duke shook his head readily.

As soon as he finished speaking, Duke didn't wait for Aizen to answer. He stepped on the ground and appeared directly behind Aizen. The Moon and Moon slashed fiercely at Aizen's shoulder.

"But you can't transcend life by accumulating spiritual pressure normally!" Aizen denied it with confidence. Even as conceited as he was, he gave up this path and chose to develop the Hogyoku to realize his dream.

Duke silently complained in his heart, the most powerful chair is waiting for you to sit on it.

So, you want to use two-dimensional foil to attack with dimensionality reduction?

"New Moon, Stage 3, Full Moon!!!" The light of the new moon grew so bright that it was impossible to look directly at it. The silvery-white spiritual pressure surrounded Duke, forming a spherical spiritual pressure that fluctuated violently. The materialized spiritual pressure filled the sphere, beating like a heart, and then shrinking rapidly in the blink of an eye.

"Vice-Captain Duke...his spiritual pressure disappeared!?" Omaeda said blankly with a wooden expression. He could not detect even a little spiritual pressure from Duke.

"That's not necessarily true!" Duke raised his eyebrows. Under normal circumstances, it was indeed impossible. The captain was the representative of the normal limit, but who made him abnormal! "So... how did you do it? I have speculated many possibilities, but I rejected them one by one." Aizen changed the subject, with extremely strong doubts: "Generally speaking, the strength of the soul of the god of death will not become stronger after reaching a certain level, and it seems that there is no upper limit. This is obviously impossible. Everyone has a limit. This is the shackles of life. And the god of death who has reached the limit must reorganize his soul if he wants to go further."

"The Captain Aizen I know doesn't do anything reckless. I'm sure you have a plan in place. If the captain meets you, he will be badly cheated. The old man is old and he cares about his reputation, so it's better not to embarrass him." Duke said in a murmur, facing Aizen's surprised eyes. There was nothing he could do. He had read the original work! Besides, the fire captain Wanda Weiss looked at the captain with greed on his face. He almost pounced on him and pushed the old man to the ground. Who couldn't see it? Aizen raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Duke with a bright look. After a moment of silence, he said again: "Sure enough, we have the same pursuit!"

Both knew that this was not the end of evolution.

"That's right! Surpass the past, keep evolving, welcome the new life, and continue until completion! Life is about pursuing a higher level, and my New Moon is just like that..." Duke tapped the blade of the New Moon with his fingertips, reporting the true ability of the New Moon.

"Hehe, Vice-Captain Duke is so optimistic about me? You know, facing the captain-general, I wouldn't dare to say that I can defeat him easily." Aizen paused and laughed.

"I need the power of the Hogyoku to reconstruct my soul. What about you? Is the potential of your soul unlimited?" Aizen asked the doubts buried deep in his heart.

An indescribable spiritual pressure suddenly burst out from Duke's body, and was retracted into his body in an instant. The violent explosion was like ignited fire, which flashed for a moment and then returned to nothingness, as if it had never appeared.

"That's a pity, you don't have Bankai, you can't defeat me." Aizen couldn't help but laugh and said, "Because after fusing with the Hougyoku, my dimension is higher!"

After two breaths, everything returned to the beginning, and the calmness seemed like an illusion. Duke held the new moon in his hand, closed his eyes slightly, and exhaled a silver-white spiritual pressure. His whole body was restrained, no longer giving people the feeling of oppression before. It was so ordinary that if you closed your eyes, you couldn't tell whether he really existed.

The captain tightly grasped Ryujin Jakka, his eyes widened, and finally he sighed. Among the Shinigami present, he was probably the only one who understood what had happened to Duke, which was what he had been pursuing for two thousand years.

Duke swept the knife, creating gusts of breeze, and swung the sword normally, calmly and peacefully without causing any ripples.

There is no point in talking to someone who does not agree. Aizen appears to be humble but is actually arrogant and conceited. The two of them have different paths. There is nothing much to say to Duke. He has always believed that he will only know whether he can win or not after all, he has to fight.

Aizen did not respond. He is still in the category of a Shinigami. Although his spiritual pressure, slashing power, speed, defense and recovery ability are much stronger than before he fused with the Hogyoku, and his strength is far beyond the captain level, he is only on par with the captain-general, and is no longer on the same level as Duke.

At this point, Aizen's spiritual pressure fluctuated rapidly, and a white substance suddenly secreted from the Hougyoku on his chest, covering his entire body, until his body was completely covered without a single spot left, and the fluctuating spiritual pressure returned to calm. Without the earth-shattering might, the spiritual pressure of Aizen, who had transformed into a cocoon, disappeared completely. To be precise, his spiritual pressure was tightly wrapped by the white entity spiritual pressure on the surface of his body, without leaking out a single bit.

"This is the first time I desire power so urgently!" Aizen muttered to himself, and the Hougyoku on his chest seemed to respond to him, emitting a faint light.

A silent and invisible ripple spread out between heaven and earth. Faintly, the sound of something being broken could be heard, and the sounds of all things were suddenly eclipsed.

"Can you use Bankai?" Aizen's tone suddenly changed, with both anticipation and astonishment.

"how?"

Just like getting a new toy and eager to show it off to others, Duke looked at Aizen with a smile on his face. If it were someone else, he would not have such thoughts, but Aizen was different. Everyone was struggling on the road of evolution, and he wanted to verify it with Aizen. If the boss was willing to teach him some experience, that would be the best.

"No, Bankai still needs more accumulation."

The white entity's spiritual pressure is similar to the pupa of an insect's evolution. There is a bead inlaid in the center of its chest, shining with a blue light. It is the Hogyoku! Aizen's spiritual pressure disappeared. Duke could not sense the life fluctuations in the pupa, and he didn't know what was brewing in it! "Vice Captain Duke, I have studied your Zanpakutō, a very wonderful sword. If I am not mistaken, the real ability of your Zanpakutō Moon is not healing at all, but spiritual pressure. By constantly accumulating spiritual pressure, you can transcend the boundaries of death... no, transcend the boundaries of life." Aizen's voice became low and hoarse, but full of magnetism, with his face covered by the white substance.

"I can't say I have Infinity, but Bankai is no problem." Duke smiled slyly.

After the full moon, Duke could clearly sense the changes in Aizen's body. As Aizen said, his soul was being reorganized under the guidance of the Hogyoku. When he emerged from the cocoon, Aizen would surely be able to break through the boundaries of the god of death in one fell swoop, but...

However, the brief burst of spiritual pressure still made everyone feel confused. Everyone who was still awake on the battlefield looked at Duke in shock. The shock of looking up at the end of the sky and only seeing a blurry back made them speechless for a long time.

"Captain Aizen, your progress seems to be a little slow. Do you want me to apply some pressure and help you make further progress?"

bite!!

Although shocked by Duke's current state, Aizen remained fully focused and alert. The moment Duke's attack fell, Aizen's body suddenly twisted and blocked the New Moon with his sword.

Boom!!! The arm holding the sword trembled, and the figures of Aizen and Duke disappeared together, with only a roar on the ground. In the dust, Duke kept raising his sword and slashing down, and in front of him was Aizen who raised his sword to block. The latter knelt on one knee, holding the sword with both hands, and his knee sank into the mud. The ground around him was washed away by the huge force and sank into a big pit.
